"As a flash came over the claws on my face, as I groped for something to defend myself, I breathe breathlessly as I debate the wood on the cold, slippery floor"
In the distance, through Natasha's pupil, she could see, something approaching. The weather had changed a heavy rain punished the place.
- Put the crosshairs on my signal. Shoot! - said Natasha
With the rifle aimed at the edge of the window, and keeping an eye on Andrew, he fixes his attention on Natasha's words
Lilian waited at the balcony door, holding the stick firmly in her hands and clenching her fists over the object.
- You can come, we are ready. - said Lilian
The monsters approached, but they were the color of the night, we were almost without vision to defend ourselves, they inhabited the environment.
As soon as the first ones jumped to attack Lilian they were electrocuted by the trap.
Exploding in several sparks, in front of the girl's eyes, Lilian remains in his combat position.
Andrew fired several times at the animals, triggering the flashes of light to observe the movements in seconds.
Natasha hurried down the stairs, and before reaching the end, she jumped to buy time.
- Lilian, come with me. - said Natasha
- Where we go? - asked Lilian
- We have to get something, which I kept hidden for a long time. I answer
The two girls went down to the basement, reaching there they take two jet guns and point to the monsters that had broken the electric trap.
- Turn it on, and aim mercilessly at them. said Natasha
Lilian switched on the gun that fired jets of flame at the monsters, burning them alive.
- Come on, we have to help Andrew and Liam. said Lilian
- Yes, we need to review our efforts. I say
In the rooms we see a horrifying scene, Andrew was being attacked by one of the beasts.
They looked like a tiger but had no face, just sharp fangs. Trying to voraciously bite Andrew's face, which he was fighting.
I run to my bedside table to try and find my revolver.
When I come back I am surprised to see a reaction that I never imagined witnessing. Lilian had taken my gun and fired continuously at the monster.
- Don't mess with one of my family members, idiot. said Lilian with the gun in his hand
- Thanks Lilian - said Andrew
Lilian left quickly after Andrew. Natasha gently pulls her by the girl's shoulders and says:
"Lily, since when do you know how to shoot a gun?" I ask
- Natalie, have unknown feats. That I didn't know myself. replied Lilian
She leaves and leaves Natasha's jaw dropping, trying to compose herself. Natasha ties her hair with the elastic in her perfect ponytail.
Liam stared and devoted himself to one of his specialties, spinning with swords.
Four monsters appeared inside the room, knocking Liam to the floor near his bed, letting his swords fall across the room.
Fallen, Liam throws his body under the bed, passing it and taking the swords.
Arriving shooting at the beasts, Natasha throws the gun up and Lilian throws it at his back, killing and taking the revolver and shooting at it.
Destroying animals in millions of fires, ashes and dust, ending Liam's plans once and for all.
"Ah, that's not worth it, " said Liam. "My big chance.
- Missed the opportunity. - Natasha said
- You are a pleasure spoiler - . muttered Liam
- I'm glad that you are well. - r and cheated Lilian
- Andrew! said Natasha
We ran to find Andrew, we looked for him but we couldn't find him. When we went to find him, he was in the yard, fighting with all his strength against a type of animal.
- Want help? - asked Liam
- No need, give this one. I'll take care of it, " replied Andrew
Pointing the rifle at what looked like a giant snake. Snapping the rifle, the snake dodges the shots.
Right behind her was Liam, with the swords, ready to hit. When Natasha in the distance hits her ax, spinning at an extraordinary speed. Getting close, making it evaporate in an instant.
- I said I could do it. - said Andrew
- I know that , friend. But we don't have time - said Natasha
We packed everything in the backpacks and set off in search of another home. Again risking everything for a greater good, which was worth running, fighting and sacrificing the life of our family to us.
We set off through the alleys of the city, taking care not to run into other dangers that might appear.
We stayed hidden and watched our direction towards a forest far from the buildings, we were resting at the roots of the trees, we would spend the night there. We put the heavy rucksacks on the floor and rest our heads.
- Let's go get some fruit while you watch the area. said Andrew
- Okay, go and we will wait, use cell phones to communicate. - said Natasha
"We should build a fire," said Liam
- Wouldn't we be easy targets? - asked Lilian
- We can evade the smokes - I answer
- Like this? - asked Liam
- I think I understand what you mean. - replied Andrew
- Liam, you're lighting up two bonfires in the heart of this flower , if you try to locate us
- said Natasha
"Good idea," said Liam.
The boys went and entered the dark forest, looking for food, while the others kept guarding the place. Lilian climbed one of the trees to get an improved view of the scenery.
Natasha has been thinking, when would be the best time to think about the possibility of finding a way out of this maze where she was, with her mind away, she pulls a blanket from her backpack and snuggles against the trunk of the tree, closing her eyes slowly.
Slowly falling asleep, realizing that she was lulled by a sweet lullaby in her head, letting her body descend slowly over the grass at her feet.
Almost forgetting the situation he was in, for a time he simply fell asleep lulling himself on the horizon of dreams.
After a moment, she woke up scared to hear screams coming from afar, taking her ax in her hands, she stands up, in an attack position.
- Run! - said Andrew
- Wolves! They are coming towards us. said Liam
Lilian, who was in the branches of the tree, turned upside down and threw herself, supporting her body in Andrew's arms.
- You go behind my back. - said Andrew
- All right. - said Lilian
Natasha looked at Liam, who had a pale face. Casting her warm and comforting look, as if to say "Everything will be fine".
Liam nodded, and they both ran towards Andrew and Lilian, who were far away.
In about a few meters, the wolves circled around the youth, walking around. Gritting his teeth and growling furiously.
They were gray, white and black wolves. With eyes as red as pure blood.
We saw that we had no option but to fight them, we were still waiting for the movements.
Everything was calm, stopping in front of us one of the wolves moved away. Soon after, he jumped on Natasha. Which in turn, speared the ax against the wolf, throwing it away.
It started to snow, helping us to escape. Causing the wolves to run after us, shooting nonstop Andrew hit some wolves, getting hurt far away from us.
Ascending a flare Liam plays on the other side, shining and outwitting other wolves.
Following a small group, still chasing Andrew and Lilian, realizing this Liam jumps on one of the wolves, controlling him through commands.
Cornered by two, Natasha decided to fight back by turning her ax constantly and with a revolver at her waist.
- See what your movement will be - I think
Trying to bite the girl, the first wolf attacked, even scratching Natasha's arm, while the second one arrived in fury, grabbing the girl's leg, fighting to escape, she grabs her gun and shoots at the face of the wolf that evaporates in ashes.
- Your turn. - challenged Natasha
Hearing this, the wolf escapes disappearing into the immensity of the snow. Lying on the floor with her hair down and surrounded by blood, the girl smiles gratefully for escaping yet another lethal challenge.
She takes a pair of scissors and cuts off half of her blouse and bandages her injured arm, returning to find her companions.
Liam ran with great speed, feeling the air through his clothes, while trying to find his brother.
Andrew finds a small hiding place where he stays, with Lilian safe and out of trouble.
- Stay here, I'll look for Natasha and Liam. - said Andrew
- Take care, and come back safe and sound. - said Lilian
- I promise. - said Andrew
Disappearing in the fog, Lilian watches the snowflakes fall under her attentive eyes.
The three end up meeting, after hours of searching at the top of a mountain.
- Good, I found you. - said Natasha
- At last, I was exhausted looking for them . - said Liam
- Liam, what do you do with this wolf? - asked Andrew frightened
- Ah, this is the Gladiator. My new friend. replied Liam
Andrew nodded, expressing a worried face, after all Liam had a few screws less.
- So the Gladiator will go with us? - I ask
- Yea! It will be our mascot. - replied Liam
- This thing is two meters high! - said Andrew
- Andy, you are a totally insensitive person. How can I say no to this little guy? - asked Liam
The wolf was looking seriously with those dark red eyes.
- Yeah, fine. - replied Andrew
- You are kidding? - asked Natasha
- He will not give up, it is useless to fight with him. - replied Andrew
- Great, we have a man-eating mascot. - said Natasha
Liam smiled contentedly, and climbed on his shoulders, offering to help us up.
We went to meet Lilian, Andrew showing us the way. With the cold wind on our face, we arrived in a few seconds.
- Lilian, how are you? I ask
- Natalie, sister I'm fine. We are true survivors. - replied Lilian
- We really are. - said Natasha
