Several hours passed by. Anne watched as the sky illuminated with twilight. She talked to God in her mind while she guarded the field.
Mark: awoke from his rest and stretched, still on the ground. Then he looked up at Anne and Detroit standing at their posts.
"Anyone wanna get off duty?"

"I'm up for taking a turn with ya, Mark."
Nathan jumped to his feet, ruffled his hair and stretched.
Mark was slightly surprised by the suddeness of Nathan's burst of energy and gave him a funny look confused
"What? I'm ready."

Anne waited for Joseph to tag-team her. He stood at her position and she handed him her SAW.
Joseph: "Take this for back-up" he said handing her a small blade.
Anne: "Thanks" she replied with a smile. Then she found a spot on the ground and kneeled down to pray to the Lord. She clasped her hands together, still holding the blade, and prayed aloud with her eyes closed.
"Lord may Your spirit continually protect us, may You guide our hearts in every step we take and fill us with peace in knowing that You are in control. Thank You for blessing us with shelter, rest and friends. Thank You for being an awesome Lord to us. In the name of Jesus, the risen Christ I pray. amen."

The two faint screams could be heard in the black night. They were abruptly cut short, and the silence left an empty feeling in the dark air.

Detroit grinned, glad to be relieved of duty.
"Hope nothing happens though," he said to Nathan. "I'm up for a little peace and quiet."
No sooner had he found a good place to rest than he heard the two screams. He sat upright stiffly and shuddered. He doubted he'd be able to get to sleep after that.
"Where did those come from?" he whispered to Nathan.

Shivers ran down Anne's back at the sound of the screams.
But she was more fatigued than worried. She laid down on the floor and fell asleep.

"It's hard to say, Detroit... The way sound travels here is a little weird... I think it came from a ways that way..." He pointed towards the north west.
Nathan was psychologically tired, he felt refreshed from his nap but his mind raced with the many worries he had. "Lord give me peace" he prayed silently.

Two howls split the night, carrying victory and the thrill of the hunt on the winds. They peirced the moonlight night, carrying a haunting undertone to the ears of the hunters.

The sky was a watery blue and soon the sun would be shining through the kitchen window. Anne awoke and sat up. Everyone in the room was already up. She looked at Detroit who looked like he was about to fall over. Maybe he was bothered by the screams that haunted the air last night, but Anne was used to the cries of helpless souls.
"Thanks Lord." she said to God grateful that she was alive this morning. "good day everyone!"
Mark: "Good day." He turned to Nathan.
"There is a stash of weapons in the back room that were placed there for emergencies such as this one. All the men from my tower are with the Lord now."
He folded his arms and looked down for a moment before continuing.
"We should head to the watchtowers in the city of Piroth. Its just east of here. hopefully the soldiers there have not run into much trouble."

Detroit glanced at Anne. "Good morning," he said. "There were some more noises... howls... I dunno. I couldn't sleep."
He turned to Mark. "I'm sorry about your friends... but they are with the Lord now, as you said. They've done their duty... now they recieve their reward, right?" He looked down at his shoes and paused. "I guess we should see about those weapons then..."
He was still a little unnerved by the screams. Part of him wanted to help the people in danger, but more of him was just afraid.

Mark: "yes, they are in the Lord's company." He walked through the kitchen and opened a door that led to dark room. Crossing the room to the other end, he pulled a switch for the light. One wall was stacked with a variety of weapons, from rifles to hand grenades. There were crates on the floor packed with pistols and even a box with blades.
Mark grabbed two shotguns and strapped them on his back.
Anne: She followed Mark into the room and when he turned on the light her eyes lit up. Anne walked aside the wall examining the weapons. Then she spotted a crate in the corner with magazines. She searched through them and grabbed some rounds for her SAW.

"I'm not seeing any 50 cal rounds hand gun rounds... they're not easy to find even without our present situation." Nathan looked around the room and examined a smith & wesson hand gun.
"I guess your not looking hard enough" Mark said. He reached behind the gun rack and produced a foot long, 6 inch wide/tall box. "This enough?"
Nathan grabbed the box and hugged it.
"Ah... the smell of 50 cal rounds in the morning... good as coffee if ya ask me!"
Mark smiled and rolled his eyes. "To each his own... I don't have any extra clips so no luck on that one..."
"I got 4 empties in my shoulder holsters so that'll do for now." Nathan looked down at his shoulder holsters and a disgusted look came across his face. "I musta dropped the other one... well, shoot." He picked up the previous hand gun he had inspected and tried to fit it into the obviously too large holster. He grabbed up the black nylon holster that the gun had come out of and strapped it to his lower back. He put the gun in and pulled it out several times, getting a feel for it.
"This'll do."
Mark looked at him with a bit of wonder. He's done this alot. He shrugged it off and asked "You want a silencer for that?"
Nathan's face lit up as he tried it on and fired a few rounds into a dirt patch through the doorway accross the street from the building they were in. "Now this is useful!"
"Like a little boy on Christmas" thought mark.

Detroit grinned. "I've always had a weakness for guns... maybe that's what first got me interested in the whole 'demon slayer' thing" he joked.
He grabbed some extra ammo for his shotgun and reloaded it, making sure to grab plenty more. He also grabbed a pistol off of the shelf along with some ammunition. Strapping the holster over his back, he looked in a mirror on the wall and grinned.
"I look like something out of Die Hard"he chuckled, running his hand through his hair. He grinned at himself and turned back to his friends. "All set!" he said. "'course, now comes the hard part..."
He frowned as he thought about the screams and the huge demon...

Joseph watched everyone from a distance, his leg still badly injured. He was comforted by the fact that everyone here was a friend. He prayed for protection for his new friends. "I suppose theres not much I can do other than pray for them," he said to himself.

Anne laughed as the other's grabbed their weapons. She placed two dagger's into little sheaths and secured them in her pockets. Then strapping her SAW onto her back she considered how nice a silencer would be.
"Pass me two of those Mark."
"Here ya go." Mark handed it to her smiling. Then he walked out towards Joseph and handed him two pistols and some clips.
"I'm sure you'll make good use of these."
Anne grabbed a holster and fixed it under her SAW. The silencers were a nice addition she thought. She walked over to Detroit and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Trials only come to make us strong."
She assured him with a smile, though she knew she would rather not confront that beast from last night again.
