MINDLESS MENACE: HOSTILE TERRITORY

p.10

Discovering a warm trail, Hannah was surprised by a series of loud gun shots, coming from the wooden haven. A tear began sliding to her cheek. An that same moment she was already up from kneeling, her tear drops were failing as she took off in the direction of the shooting.
Until then, the wooden haven and its settlers' survival depended on her people's courage, their skills and their several outposts, who had already failed at spotting the master of the land's raiders, causing them to loose every defense surrounding the haven.
Two youngsters had made it out of the fences. One was having trouble keeping up due to her injury. The boy, refusing to leave the young girl behind, pulls her into a ditch, so the herd won't find them.
The dead and wounded of one side are scattered across the Plains and the faces of the fighters were hopeful with victory in mind and adrenaline rushing through their bodies, they push harder and harder on the enemy.
With the chaos of battle concealing any sense of victory or defeat the other side does whatever it can in order to try to defeat their enemies.
Some have succumbed to panic and are barely able to force their bodies in motion, while others long for the end of this battle.
The toll on both nature and humanity is tragic. It'll likely take ages before this Haven will have recovered.
While screaming settlers ran inside their logged camps, fleeing as they saw  ghouls storming through the entrance followed by face-covered raiders, shooting the guard from a distance.
Two youngsters had made it out of the fences. One was having trouble keeping up due to her injury. The boy, refusing to leave the young girl behind, pulls her into a ditch, so the herd wouldn't find them.
Gun shots, snarling and growling surrounded them. As they where hiding, they heard strange voices among the herd and they fled for their lives, but the strangers lied within.
Once Hannah arrived near the settlement's fences, Hannah's love for the great beauty of her recent home slowly vanished. The safe zone was littered with gore, weapons, bodies and corpses of the fallen.
Some had turned and rotten into new nightmares to haunt the devastated survivor. A reserved but nonetheless loyal companion, Hannah was once the angel on their shoulder.
