"There's someone there! Under that car! we have to get them, they're moving-they're alive!" Mags cried, the frail old woman grabbed onto a mans shoulder, her grip shocking tight on his forearm. Dragging the man towards the overturned car, it among countless other bits of rubble, was damaged beyond repair.
The man, Max, was a strong man. 6 years in the military, he was a colonel. Turning over the car, they were able to uncover a young girl, 5 or 6 at most. The girl was Jude. Many hours later, a small group of people had formed.
"What the hell just happened?" Stila asked "does anyone else know what happened?"
"No."
"No, but my house is destroyed, everything is, what do we do now?"
Mags stepped forward in front of the group, she asked everybody to grab whatever they could find, blankets, pillows and tarps, food and anything they needed. For all they knew, no one else was alive, and everything was destroyed. It was a sad moment. Many had lost family and friends.
"We're going now." Mags said simply.
"Where." Esmerelda asked.
"Isn't it obvious? To the woods. It's the only safe place left."
