Running from the Dac that had killed Brad and the screeching horror that was Raven, was bad, especially in such a place, a desert. They were at least 4 miles from the city, and the Dac was on their tale, not to mention Raven.
THUMP!
Andrew saw that Raven was coming from in front of them, but, now, it was too late. The Dac was behind them and Raven was in front of them, they couldn't do anything, but fight for their lives. Andrew targeted the dark, gigantic creature on its chest and fired, pulling the trigger five times in rapid succession, three of the rounds, finding their mark. The other two were within an inch of the huge chest and the creature didn't even slow down.
"Hey! Vanessa, give the magnum to Michael. Amanda, you and Vanessa take care of the Dac, and me, Ryan, and Michael will handle this thing. Now." Andrew yelled.
"Here." Vanessa told Michael, as she gave him the magnum.
They all split, Amanda pulling the trigger of the Remington, and Vanessa pulling the trigger of the shotgun. Andrew could tell they were having a hard time, shooting something that can fly, is hard. Three .357 rounds slammed into its belly, the thundering shots, could be heard in Andrew's ears.
"Hey, where you'd get the Colt?" he asked Michael.
"It was the one Brad had."
Three more .357 rounds, but this slamming into its head, but as they hit, Raven jumped into the air. Flapping its mighty wings, flying above them. Andrew heard a not-so-distant THUMP… he turned around to that the Dac was on the floor it was dead.
"Vanessa, Amanda help us."
The creature suddenly dove down, diving towards Ryan, drawing its giant claw back, and as Ryan jumps out of the way, the creature swept past him in a running crouch, bringing dust from the ground up with it. As soon as the monster was past, it stopped running, turning almost casually back to watch Ryan scramble to his feet and fire again. The bullet took out a fleshy chunk of its right shoulder. Thick blood coursed down its wide chest and joined the dripping open mass of is stomach. It started to dive again, dropping its terrible, inhuman hand down as it went for Michael, just as his revolver clicked empty. Michael sprinted away, but the charging monster veer with him and its sweeping claw glanced against his side, tumbling him to the ground.
Amanda raced toward the creature; firing into is back as it bent down over the fallen boy. Michael was scrambling backwards, his shirt shredded; his eyes wide with terror and it must have felt the sting of the bullets because it turned, fixing its emotionless stare on Amanda. Michael staggered to his feet and limped quickly away.
Andrew emptied the clip, the last several rounds hitting it in the face. Pieces of its broken skull flew from the creature head. The creature didn't seem to notice as it started to run toward him, instead of at Amanda. Ryan, Michael, Amanda, and Vanessa all firing, shouting, trying to turn its attention away from Andrew but it was already fixated, flying towards him and drawing its claw back.
Andrew dove to the side at the last possible second and the monster went flying past him. Andrew ran the horrible awareness dawning on in that the seconds were slipping past and that they couldn't kill it in time. Michael felt blood seeping from his thigh, the top several layers of his skin sliced neatly away be the Raven's brutal swipe. The pain was bearable; the knowledge that they were going to die wasn't. Raven turned its attention to Vanessa and Amanda, both of them firing again at the seemingly in vulnerable monster. It started its smooth, easy glide toward them, still indifferent to the bloody holes in its body. Shotgun blasts hit it in the legs and chest, nine millimeter bullets speckled its pasty flesh, and didn't falter, kept on gliding.
Raven reached Amanda and Vanessa, the two of them split, but Raven rammed Amanda to a near by rock hitting it, she was knock out. Ryan ran towards her, grabbing the Remington. Vanessa, shot it in the head, and the rest of the skull fell off, and saw Ryan leap into the air, and BAMBAMBAM. Three shots, into Raven's head, sheds of flesh hailed down over the floor, Raven was no more.
"Now, let's get to the city." Andrew said. "Ryan, you take Amanda, and hurry."
Ryan went where she had land, picked her up, and carried her the rest of the way, to the city.
