Desperation and Misery

After a fought battle, Jane and her team finally reached the Warehouse's entry, but as they moved inside, there were no boats and that very moment,

Soldiers who hid in the upper railings of the Warehouse came and pointed their guns right at Jane and her squad.

"Hide!!"

Jane shouted as the firing began. Each of the team rushed for a place to hide. Jane took cover behind some steel bars, some were killed instantly and some tried to run outside the Warehouse but,

Through the firing, a voice cried out saying,

"The door is locked!"

The route to escape was not closed they were trapped inside a small area filled with enemy personnel.

"Everybody hide! Take cover, try to fight back."

Jane was trying to put up a strong front, but there was no way they could escape this. They were facing their death.

"Jake!!'

Jane heard another voice as a soldier was killed off in the gunfire, 5 of the 12 soldiers were dead.

"Damn it!!"

Jane brought out her rifle and kept firing shell after shell. Moved by Jane's actions, the rest also tried to fight back but,

"I am out of bullets."

The team had no chance. They were out of bullets and couldn't fight back, no they had any explosives to kill the other with them.

"!!"

A shot hit Jane right at her shoulder which was left exposed due to the steel bar breaking after the excessive gunfire.

"Arghhh!"

Jane screamed internally. Her arm was numb but still feeling pain but she held it in her mind.

"I don't to die!"

Jane heard the words from a soldier sitting a few meters away. His was covered in red, his hands were shaking, his breathing was heavy, his eyes had a sense of terror and fear and he couldn't hold his gun right.

"Hey don't give u-"

Jane tried to encourage the man but while she was saying her words a bullet blew the man's head with a piercing through his head.

Jane had seen many of her comrades die fighting beside her but for the first time she felt 'scared'.

Like a baby hiding from an imaginary monster. The moments of terror and hopelessness rushed through her mind as she moved her gun towards herself.

"Maybe, I can die by my own hands."

Jane tried to accept her incoming death and planned to commit to her wishes,

she moved the gun under her throat with her one arm and readied it to fire,

"What the hell is happening?"

Soldiers above shouted in confusion as smoke started spreading through the entire building. It was covered in white smoke and became tough to see, even from friend to foe.

"!!!"

Suddenly, the noise of windows shattering came to everyone's ears and six white figures entered the building.

"Ahhhhh.. Ahhh..AAAA"

Multiple cries of pain begin to sound in the building as blood splatters from top to bottom.

"... What was that?"

A vile's worth of blood fell right on Jane's face from above, her face and hands were covered in red but she didn't react.

She looked and her hands, she didn't understand the reason behind the moment but blood falling on her face wasn't making her disgusted. She was alright with all the smell and feeling and soon she fell to the ground with her eyes open.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a few minutes, the smoke cleared and Jane woke to her bring-tied rope with a pillar with 5 other of her soldiers.

"Huh?"

She looked ahead and saw a man with a hidden face wearing a red... no white cloak which was red after it was covered in blood.

"Hello, there. You're finally awake."

The voice said in a bit annoyed and chilled tone.

"Who are you?!"

"Who I am is not important. All that matters here is that you are captured by us and there is an important choice for you to make."

"I? Choice?"

"One of the 6 of you goes on the boat outside to return to your country and bring Reinforcements and the rest are killed. You have many stars on your uniform, so I thought you were the leader. So, you get to make a choice."

"What the hell are you saying? Choose one and kill the rest. How are you in the first place answer the question?"

"Damn, you're annoying."

The person came up to her and grabbed her face pressing it against the wall, she tried to resist but her body was tightly tied to the ropes.

"You don't seem to under what I am trying to say are you, my lady? Let's give you an example."

He brought out his blade and cut the soldier sitting beside Jane's throat.

"aaa..aagh..hh"

The soldier opened his eyes as he gasped for air but his blood was already spilling down his throat.

He struggled to move his head in all directions but soon his pupils became white and he lost in himself.

"Mn!ammm!!!!"

The masked man put his hand over Jane's angry face, stopping her from saying anything and all she could do was muffle and struggle with rage in her eyes.
