Boom!
Another blow, the hut's floor shook and cracks formed on the mud walls. The white girl gathered the two kids in her arms and started for the door.
The bomb had gone off miles away in the next village, theirs was next, it had caused severe damage here.
Women were running around confused, some holding their babies close to them, others looking for their kids ,calling out names.
It had come like an earthquake, huts were fallen and the ground was cracked.
Anytime now soldiers, in lesser  numbers than a year before, would appear, no ambulance would turn up.

Tju held the two tiny wrists firmly at both her sides, as they watched the walls of their Hut fall to the ground.
She could feel tension in their skins,. Her head throbbed, her heart beat noisily in her chest her mind read "run for your life "
She thought back to her old folks should she look for them? no, running to the base ,would save her ass and this two frightened kids.

"okay kids we are gonna run to the base " she spoke in the native language and started for the gate.
She pictured the base where she'd been working as a kitchen assistant for sometime now, at her age this job had been a privilege during this war period.
She knew deep down it was not her fiancee's fame but her colour and beauty that got her this job.
Heads turned when she passed, but dropped when they heard Who she was betrothed to.
She was still on her heels  pulling the kids behind her when another bomb exploded.
She fell on the shaky ground badly after shock waves sent her flying yards in front.
The impact of rough ground with her head, the blinding pain from her forehead, the screams of the Kids and the darkness that followed she fell unconscious...
