The Fall Of Camp Delta

Smiths POV

It was sometime after midnight when he heard the first Pales start to shriek. He didn't know why the den hadn't been cleared yet, this was the second night. The wall guards were tripled up this night, again he had no idea why. Smiths was sitting inside the checkpoint station on a chair. His job was to sound alarms in emergencies, but none really ever happened.

He stifled a yawn, it was going to be a long night. Smiths couldn't see anything eventful happening tonight. Except for the Pales being shot at. For the most part it should be a boring shift. The Pales shrieked and howled again, closer this time. It seemed they were approaching the base now.

The guards up on the wall started shooting now. Letting out controlled bursts, the Pales screamed in agony, at least the ones that got hit. The guards were shouting at each other as well and one of them screamed to sound the alarm. Smiths didn't see why so he ignored this guard and then it started.

The gate. The fucking gate. It was being torn open from the other side. The metal was screeching, it was deafening as it was being torn open. Smiths couldn't believe what he was seeing and then it busted open. Standing there was a huge Pale at least ten feet tall.

This Pale has bullet holes all over its body and was bleeding but it seemed to be just pinpricks to it. It had spikes on its back and a thin tail around five meters long. Its tail lashing, It out an ear deafening guttural roar.

Smiths slammed the alarm, the base started to light up and the sirens went off. He withdrew his pistol and started shooting, running back into the base. All while the Pales started swarming in through the newly busted gate.

Daniels POV

Daniels and most of his squad were chilling in the common room when the alarm went off. Zane was in his barracks, most likely sleeping. They all grabbed their rifles and headed outside. It was chaotic outside. There were Pales chasing down people and others were running. The soldiers were trying to get organized but it was a rough attempt.

"Alright let's go!" Daniels shouted over the alarms.

"Gather as many people as you can and put them behind us!" Richards shouted.

They started towards the tented area, gathering as many as possible and putting them behind us. Then Daniels saw Zane. he was making his way towards them slaughtering Pales as he went. He would put a few rounds in their chest and finish them with his blade. A few other squads join them on the way across.

Zane made it to us and made a defensive link. It was Daniels' squad and a few others, they made a protective circle around the others who did not have weapons on them. firing at the Pales as they came onto them, They would either fall or back off. At this point the base was overrun.

The Pales would constantly try to break their ranks and make it inside. Zane was still doing a sword and sidearm style of taking down Pales. He was to Daniels' left and Richards to his right. We were making steady progress towards the Humvees. Pales were swarming around the base chasing as many people as they could.

Gunshots were ringing out all over the base. People were in a panic running from the Pales. Daniels and the group gathered more survivors from the tented area. They added them to the center of the circle. Suddenly a Pale barreled itself on top of Anderson who was to Zane's right. Zane acted swiftly and put a bullet in its head. After it went limp he helped him up and Anderson said his thanks.

"Alright we're going to the Humvees!" Daniels called out. They started to move towards them.

They started to make good ground towards the Humvees with what little survivors that were gathered. Daniels' group was almost at the Humvees when the alpha came barreling down on them and broke their ranks. It used its tail to pierce soldiers on the outer protective circle. The survivors on the inside scattered and their ranks broke apart. Daniels called out to his squad to follow him. They charged towards the Humvees, another squad was with them. They had maybe four people who didn't have weapons left with them.

Daniels took a look around the base, the chaos was insane. There are bodies everywhere both Pale and human. He saw Mikel's dead body near the entrance to headquarters. A couple of Pales were feeding on him. Daniels doesn't know what happened to O'reilly. Pales stopped to feed on many of the corpses, he had a feeling they wanted to make this their new den and that sickened him.

Four out of maybe thirty or so. With them was a squad of seven. They all made it to the Humvees. Loading themselves into four different Humvees and making for the exit of the base. Barrelling towards the exit running over Pales along the way.

The lead Humvee honked its horn and the Pales started to scatter at the sound. As they left the alpha let out a triumphant shriek and the people left in the base were left to their deaths.
