Danny leaped out of the bed when he heard the first blast.
In the next moment, something splattered against the roof before crumbs and chipped stones started to rain down from the ceiling. The whole house began to wobble violently.
"W-what happened?"
"Is it an earthquake?"
His companions were all startled. The pitch-black room soon sank into chaos.
"No, it's a raid!" The soldier closest to the door yelped as he snatched up his rifle. He was about to rush out when Danny pinned him down to the floor. "What are you doing?" the soldier barked.
"Don't move. They're still attacking us!" Danny growled.
As Danny had expected, soon a few more blasts reached their ears, and something hailed down at the roof again.
"D-Damn it, that is..."
In a cloud of dust, someone lit a candle. After the dark was dispersed by the dim candlelight, everybody sucked in their breath in horror.
