The Centauran Wars.

Battle for Blackton

Blackton is a boomtown located near the northern border, home to businessmen and the families of coal miners. Important to both cetans and corvuns for its steel and coal.

The whistles blow, and I charge into the land that was once ours, and I'll be damned to say we lost this land once again.

"FOR CORVUS!!" We all yell as we charge into the city.

The cetans push at the same time I run down to the center of the town throwing myself down behind some sandbags as I cock my rifle and watch as more and more of us pour in.

I make a dash into a building slamming my self through the door another soldier running behind me as we make our way upstairs. I look at the soldier next to me as I try to open the door.

"Fuck" He says as he moves me and kicks the door. Still nothing.

We look at each other and nod. The sound of gunfire grows more intense outside.

"One.. Two. Three." I say as we kick down the door and move in.

I aim my rifle as we move in watching as a women sits curled into a ball holding a baby in her arms as she quietly whimpers.

We move past her getting a position om the windows.

We watch as the cetans send more and more as the fighting grows more intense in the middle of the city.

I aim my rifle towards a cetan running towards cover a knot ties in my stomach and I hold my breath I take aim then I pull the trigger.

With a loud bang the bullet flys hitting the cetan I watch him drop down. The shot wasn't for him to die.

"Wait for his friends to come. We finish those ones off then him." I say to the soldier next to me.

"Understood." He says.

As expected two other cetans come to him one holding his gun looking around frantically. The other trying to drag his friend to safety.

"I've got the one dragging the wounded one." I say.

"I'll get the other." The soldier next to me replies.

I take aim my hand gripping the handle my finger wrapping the trigger.

As I focus myself I listen to the whimpers of the lady behind us speaking in small whisper as she tries to comfort her now crying baby.

I try to ignore it. Firing my rifle to bring back my comfort in this war.

Both cetans fall dead I cock back my rifle and shoot the wounded one as he stops moving. The other two bleed out.

"Their down." The soldier says as he cocks his rifle.

And then the sound of Whizzing bullets hitting the walls and breaking all the windows is heard as a cetan machine gun has spotted our position.

I drop down and I watch as the soldier takes four bullets dropping down in a pool of blood. He looks at me turning his head and trys to speak but all are heard are small gasp and groans.

The woman whimpers, turns into small screams as she breaks down crying, holding covering her baby with her body. But she remained untouched.

I get up, grab my rifle and look around, and then hear the sound of loud footsteps.

My breath hitches as I freeze I run and slam the doors closed and push a wardrobe towards it.

The cetans attempt to kick down the door. The wardrobe moves and moves in a desperate attempt I jump out the window slamming down onto the ground below me.
