Shit, what do I...?

-Ngh... 

-OH! Sorry! -The idiot of a Medic threw himself to me, throwing me to the cold snow, touching my cheek. 

-Hey! Who are you?! -Zagal screamed, a metallic sound came from their guns, the secure was off.

-It's okay, I'm from Koty encampment! We came here to look for survivors! -He said after standing up, the artilleryman does the same jumps along the demon dog. They don't look scared at all... Did something happen while I was gone?

-How do we know you're telling the truth? -Zagal said with no fear in his voice.

-Well, uhh... Med? -The artilleryman said nervous.

The Med throws away his weapon and orders the demon dog to let down his guard. The artilleryman imitates them. 

They really have to be desperate.

Zagal makes a signal to the others, then they slowly walk to my direction. I would have never expected to him having this kind of behavior when needed. They help me to maintain myself on foot.

-We'll take you back with Akira. -One of them whispered, they are trying to hide the fact there's more of us.

-Where are the demons?

-They are on the cave, since you fell, they have been doing nothing more but sleep, including the big one.

-Hey! You shouldn't force that guy to do anything, sooner or later he'll faint from the loss of blood! -The Med screamed.

-What are you two waiting for?! Go! -Zagal ordered, then the others started to help me walk.

-Going!

A couple of minutes have passed since we started to walk. The others haven't told me anything since then. It looks like... they also know someone is looking at us somewhere in the trees. 

-Kitt? What's wrong? Can't keep going? 

-Did some of you pick up the scout stuff? -I asked while trying to localize the thing hiding.

-I'm the scout. I was looking around, before... You know. 

-Use the tool you have on your left breast. Put them on, and you'll be able to identify any being due to their temperature. 

-Oh! Okay! -He starts to search for the contact lenses. -I didn't even know I had those things... I feel a bit dumb now, he-he.

-It's fine. Do you see something? -I ask calmly. 

-Yes! Bu... It seems like it may be a demon from a low-key! -The scout said with an insecure tone. -His temperature is way too low. I could say that it has the same temperature of the river.

-Is it doing something? -The other one asked.

-No, he's just looking.

The trees started to move and crows revealed themselves. Could it be...? Oh, fuck!

-Everyone, down...!!! -I tried to warn them, but it was too late. 

The few leaves from the trees and snow fell all of a sudden, the crows won't shut up. Zagal and the other guys started to shot at them, it was a burst of bullets and blood. 

-AHHH!!! -The Demon Dog screamed while the river was driving him away.

-GRAHHHH!!! -The Demon hiding in the trees screamed. 

It smells like oil. Maybe gas? It is very strong.

-Ah... AHHH!!! -What's wrong?! The scout started to scream out of nowhere.

-It's a giant... we are dead... -The scout answered through gasps.

-What?!

A giant head appeared from the trees- Wait, the smell of oil and the lizard head like covered in a black mask with closures on its mouth and eyes... Ergh...! Oh, god, blergh... What I thought it was oil, is actually a strong smell of "natural" lubricant. 

I let go a span, the scout drops me, I immediately fall to the cold snow. 

-Seth! 

Fuck...

-Y... You have to do the same! Where's your sniper rifle?! -He asked while grabbing me from the neck.

-Agh! Let go of me! -I push Seth away. -How do you want me to carry something like that with a leg more dead than your fucking neurons?!

The man that screamed earlier is just sobbing, I hear how footsteps are running to us.

-Run!!! -Zagal screamed. 

-Careful!!! -The Med warned Zagal.

Fuck. Fuck, what do I do?! Those others ran away. Now the only thing I can think about is the giant scythe being raised. 

At the distance, I see how the artilleryman grabs Zagal by the throat and pulls him back. 

-AHHH!!! 

The fucking demon cuts off one of Zagal legs with the cross he is using as a weapon. The snow raises up, blinding me, and even lifts me up a little. 

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. 

I put my pistol in my hand and start to recharge it. The sound of my heart can't let me think. Even with my butt on snow, I feel hot. 

Crap, calm down, breathe, and shot! 

-Oh, shoot! -It threw something at me, it's useless, I couldn't pull the trigger, so the pistol begins to overheat and burn my hand. He threw a Demon of the Blood Path! 

-Hail Micola...! -Somebody shot the humanoid demon immediately.

-Crap, we have to get out of here! -The Med said.

-Yeah, no fucking doubt! -I said, almost without breath. The artilleryman helps me maintain on feet, giving me his shoulders.

-We still have a bit of time before that sucker uses his brain and figures out how to cross the river without getting wet. "Wet. He might get wet if he crosses the river."..

-I'm gonna cross!!! I'm gonna fu...!!!- The Demon appears from the trees with a rood with a man that has the uniform from...

Holy fuck! He sank down so fucking fast! 

-Run! Run! We gotta r...! -The rood falls to the river, the water flies to us and pushes us until we fall to the snow. 

I feel how my stupid foot is slowly tearing, and finally, falling away from me.

-AHHH!!! 

-Shit! I ran out of everything! -The medic screamed...

-We gotta hurry! Now, back to the cave!
