Fields of Nozzles - Part 22

outside it was pitch black and very cold, the wind was howling, and apart from that all quiet, everyone took their positions,
on the east and north walls, and waited weapons poised eyes wide, hearts pounding, "there" shouted james, emptying a few rounds into the darkness, "right people, i want to see ammo conservation, bullets don't grow on trees you know" said joe,
in an important voice, "i want snipers on the roof of the barn, and the farmhouse" "yes good idea" said viki, "i will get a squad together" "i will come with you" said matt running after her, "right lets give them whats coming to them" said tom, cocking his rifle,
so in the darkness of night, through the screams of the villagers being torn apart, the young heros fought for all they were worth,
"we need more firepower on the north wall" shouted julia, "right one section in every three, onto the north wall" shouted joe,
over the din of guns and wizzing bullets, "their retreating" called jess, from the east wall, so for a short while, all was quiet,
and everyone reloaded, had somthing to eat and made sure of casualties, "no-one injured as yet" said robyn.

"here they come again" said rii, cracking off into the night, the fighting continued for many hours, and joe began to get worried about ammonitions, "these rounds won't last forever" he said sounding somber, "right i'm off" said scott(the rock)cooper,
as he bounded over the wall, and started beating the wolves with the butt of his gun, but eventually he was overrun, and torn apart,
"he died a heros death, the one he deserved" said joe sadly, "they will finish feeding on the villagers soon, then were really screwed" pointed out alion, pulling hard on her pipe, "yes alion is right, what do we do" added debbie, "ok ok, i don't know"
replied joe, as day dawned, and the wolves retired once again for a while, "thats 5 times they've come now" said luke breathing hard, "yes what do we do now?" asked emma, "yes and where have i been for the last 10 odd chapters" added suz,
"look sorry guys, lets just concentrate on the wolves"

so when the wolves had finished on the village, they turned their full attention to the farmhouse, "right this is it people"
said joe firmly, "do or die!!" so as the wolves pushed on for victory, bent on destruction, everyone put everything ythey had into,
the defense of their farm. "this is for all our friends in hopmoe" shouted jeni, as she loaded up terrence, and he hurled the rocks over the parrapet. just then carlos slipped off the barn roof, and fell over the wall!! "quickly open up the gate and get him inside" called joe while thrashing this way and that with his minigun, so tom, rii and luke, ran over to the gates and pulled back the locking bars, and dragged carlos inside, "oh are you ok" said bex, stroking his head, "yes thankyou, your very kind"
said carlos smiling, "huh" said emily in disgust, "get back over here" shouted joe, to the others, "right come on" said tom,
"luke close the gates will you" "ok" replied luke with a strange look on his face!,

as the fighting continued into midmorning, however hard the wolves tried, they just couldn't get over the walls,
if we can keep this up for just a few hours longer, we should be able to fight them off" said joe looking more hopefull,
"how is louise" he asked, "shes doing well, but its a very long labour" replied julia p, who had just come out,
"yes well we could do with reena and becca, so i hope it isn't too much longer" replied joe, looking out over the walls,
just then tim shouted from the east wall, "their coming through the gates" "quick to the gates" shouted susie,
when they arrived, the wolves were already inside, and causing havoc!! "quickly help me help me" screamed catherine.
as the wolves dragged her across the ground, so everyone helped to ram the doors closed, and then to kill the wolves that were left inside, but not before they got catherine and susie!, "how did they get inside?" wondered emma l, "luke was supposed to lock the gates" said tom accusingly, "yes what do you have to say for yourself?" asked joe, looking at luke, "i thought i had locked them, i swear" he answered, "look" shouted suz from the watch tower, "the wolves have retreated!!" "yay we did it" said james leaping into the air.

so everyone helped to carry susie, catherine and scott, to the field behind the farmhouse, "we will bury them later" said joe sadly,
just then reena came running round the corner, "quick come upstairs everyone, louise has given birth!!"
so everyone followed reena upstairs to the master bedroom, there on the bed was louise sleeping soundly, "poor girl" said joe,
"so where is the baby?" asked rii, "well" began reena, "it was one hell of a baby, 5stone 4pounds!, and well it has hoofs"
"what" exclaimed viki, "well take a look yourselves" she said ushering them into another room, "my god" said jess, "its a baataur!!!!...............
