A once lively village now destroyed by acts of violence.

No longer could your hear the sound of kids laughter but now all you can hear is the sound of people crying over the lost loved one's.

My men stood by myself awaiting my orders as I looked at the scene in front of me. My eyes gazed across the area making sure that it was safe for us to continue our mission.

'Group 1 take the left side, group 2 will take the right. Any survivors injured or not send them towards the nurses tent and inform any of the leaders of prisoners captured' I ordered as the men broke off into there teams following my orders.

I headed back towards the nurses tent as the head nurse Nicky greeted me

'Hello Chief' she spoke bowing her head slightly in respect as I nodded my head allowing her to talk

'Is the tent ready for any casualty's?' I asked her as she nodded her head as I watched the first casualty being carried in as she excused herself to go and help the injured.

'Chief' My second in command and also my best friend Liam shouted to gain my attention. I turned around to face him as he stopped in front of me before speaking 'Word has spread that the Tess is moving forward into our lines ready to attack at base'

'How long?' I questioned gesturing him to follow me into the nurses tent in which he followed

The Tess is the reason why the world has now becoming like this. Leaving the innocent and young children without there parents because they would rather use their cruel acts of torture to destroy what we have tried to build back up for so many years.

Let me give you the run down on what happened. Years ago, when I was just a young boy I watched the world getting destroyed by our very own hands. What started as a disagreement ended up is a global incident leaving everyone to defend for themselves. Food became scarce and in order to survive everyone split into groups to survive.

'At least 2 days maybe even less' he answered as we both moved back to allow a trolley with a young child crying as the nurses tried to calm her down.

'Inform the base and put out a code black in case we cant get back in time' I told him going to try and help the young child crying

'But sir...' He spoke up as I faced him feeling the anger raising up inside me knowing he was not following my orders.

'As my second in command Liam am giving you an order, Best friend or not do not argue with me on my descions' I told him sharply challenging him to argue back

'Sorry sir' He mumbled as I walked away before someone got hurt what included him

'Chief' my sister Riley shouted as I walked into the direction that she called me entering the closed off cubicle where she was with a young girl around the age of 5 curled into a ball holding onto a blue ripped blanket

'Riley... Whats wrong?' I asked confused as she pulled me to the side before speaking towards me

'She's refusing any help until we find her brother, She got really bad cuts that I need to look at but every time I try she screams and pulls away' She whispered quietly so she didn't hear what we were saying as I nodded taking over seeing if I could help this poor young girl

'Hey there' I spoke moving slowly towards her crouching down to her height 'My name is Harry, Can you tell me your name sweetheart' I asked her as she lifted her head out the cover showing a deep gash across her face that really needed to be looked at

'Am Sammy' She spoke quietly putting her hand out and I lifted my own to shake her hand gently

'Have you seen my brother?' she asked as I looked at riley who shrugged her shoulders not knowing who he was.
