Storming Acre & KAT Get's hurt & The Beast Is Free

September 18th After Taking The Fort

Miranda P.O.V. So after storming the beaches we pushed inland rapidly and after taking a fort that was being used as a Forward Operating Base or FOB and once we had breached the fort we killed the defenders minus one that I had be spared to spread the word that we would be coming to cleanse the Holy Land and I also had all the women and children be spared for they are innocent In this crusade and before I left the fort I head the cry of a child coming from the direction of the fort's barracks so I walked over to the barracks and entered the building and ducked under the low door frame and made my way futher into the barracks and when I turned around a corner I laid eyes on the child who was huddled in a corner of the room and the child was being comforted by a slightly older girl who was cuddling the child I so carefully walked up to the two persons I must have made a noise because the girl spun around and held out a silver dagger and pointed it in my direction and said stay back and leave us alone and I said please put down the knife sweetie I'm not going to hurt you or your sibling and she responded by sneering I don't believe that at all, you butchered our father when you stormed these walls and I said while slowly approaching the two siblings and said I gave them a chance to surrender peacefully but they refused so I was forced to play my hand so please lower your knife and she said how do I know that you won't butcher my brother and I when I do so and I said with my hands held up You have my word that I won't harm either of you two and so she lowered her blade and so I finished approaching them and knelt down next to them and I shined my torch so that I could see them more clearer than I had been able to and I noticed that both of the siblings were drenched in blood and I grabbed my first aid kit that I had laid down next to me and I opened the first aid kit and got out a rag and I cleaned off the blood that was caked to the young girl's face and I said so what is you two's names and the girl responded by saying that her name is Aala and she is currently 15 years old and her brother's name is Anas who's 7 years old and I then asked where is your mother and Aala said their mother died when Anas was three and their father raised them all by himself until today when the wall's had fallen thus leaving the two young siblings as orphans and Aala said what's your name and I said my name is Miranda Devorn but they could just call me Miranda. Aala started crying and said in between tears what's going to happen to my brother and I which I responded by saying if you two want I could adopt you two only If you're comfortable which made Aala stop crying and said really and I responded with a smile really dear I then cleaned up Anas and then I carefully picked him up into my arms and I started to walk out of the room with Aala following me closely and once the three of us had stepped out of the barracks and into the blistering sunlight and I walked over to the medical tent and stepped in and I saw all the wounded & dying from the attack I walked over to one of the nurses whose name is Julia and said Julia what were our losses and she said our wounded are about 300 and our dead and dying are 1,000 and I said while shaking my head thanks Julia then I turned around and walked out of the medical tent and I set Anas on the ground and he ran over to his sister who picked him up in her arms which made me smile I then said come on pups let's go get you two settled I held out my hand for them to take which Aala took it and I led them over to my personalized tent which was like a large house but in tent form I led the two young pups to the kitchen and I made them a hearty lunch and then I led them to their rooms and I said do you two want to share a room or have your own seperate rooms and Aala said I think that it would be best if Anas and I shared a room and I said alright If you want to do that than that's alright with me so the rest of the day the three of us bonded with each other and I introduced my two newest wards to my sister Katniss while this was going on all the nearby soliders encircled Acre and bombarded it with artillery fire as well as started to tunnel under the city so that when the order to storm the city was made we would have soliders attack the city from the inside I went to sleep around ten and woke up at six a.m. to the sound of the artillery thus signalling the start of the taking of Acre. after pummeling the city for five hours we finally breached the walls of the ancient city/citadel and we rushed into the city from the south, east, north, and west and everything seemed to be going right until ( Warning this next few paragraphs are going to be extremely bloody & graphic) Kat was dueling the lord of the city when a member of the ruler's elite guard of Janissaries came up behind Kat and slashed his blade across the back of her leg with such force that it severed her leg from her body and when I saw that my sisterwife was about to be killed my inner beast rose to the surface and made my human side take a back seat and I rushed over to my sister tearing a bloody path through the defenders I threw my fist through someone's ribs and threw him into a house another I just decapitated and flung his headless body over my shoulder and then the finally defender that tried to stop me I bit into his throat so brutally that he started to die on his own blood and then I stepped over his bleeding corpse and then launched myself on the lord of the city and pinned him to the ground and then I started to squeeze the side of his head until a sweet sickening sound of his eyes popping right out of his eyes which made my smile evilly and then my human side took back over and I yelled MEDIC and then I held Kat in my lap and after I had stopped the blood from leaving her where her leg once was before after a hour the city had fallen the medic had finally had arrived and I handed her off to the medic which happended to be Julia who had rushed off with Kat in her arms to the medical tent. Once Kat had been carried off I walked over to the walls of the city and howled at the sky with blood still dripping from my chin clearly pissed off and the rest of the army howled in sorrow at the injury that Kat has sustained during the battle.
