Chapter 5: Attack
We kept running to the water bottle
Henry " take turns shooting" " sir there's a water bottle about 10 inches from here go to it they will provide fire" " great everyone run to the water bottle" the last shot was fired and everyone ran to the bottle the bird was still in shock you could see some of its feathers had little trace's of blood
Jake "everyone take turns going into the bottle I'm first" this will make a good place to hide all of my unit
We where able to make it in
Henry's was not far from the bottle now it my men took turns firing at the birds beak to keep it at bay so all Henry's men could come inside
"Hm... So how will we kill it we can't go out right know he already at one of my men he still is hungry y'all got an idea" " sir we could aim at his eyes the bullet could reach it's brain and kill it" J " good at least we have a plan so are you a good shot" " sir I was Cain so I think I'm a good shot better than them"
" Good at least your confident so we need a distraction who's up to it" dead silence went around no a single soul wanted to do it I understand but still what are we suppose to do
" Okay listen well take a break here to catch our breath and calm our nerves reload your muskets and keep an eye on the bird" I think I'm ether going to have to force someone to go out or go myself I don't want to be a feared general if I force them
we spent about 20 minutes and then Charles he's the one that will try and shot at his eye we decide that he'll use all the muskets to shot at the bird that way he doesn't have to realod every shot he takes.
" Anybody wanna go out and serve as a distraction"... It was quite but then a hand aroused " I can go i--m good at running around sir" " great great alright listen you see how the bird is standing there not attacking it's because the bullets hurt so he won't come straight to us so run and make it only focused on only you okay then run straight to the opening of the bottle and then move to the left that way the birds eyes are exposed" " yeah I'll try my best" good we have a plan and a person to do it "Nate ready to run out" " no I'm not ready at all" good just run and pay attention to the plan okay" " yes"
Nate left the bottle and walked slowly out keeping the bird in its eye view walking towards the door the bird noticing this it was about to go after him but halted it's self and kept his eyes on us we hoped he would go but didnt Nate would kneel and grab dirt and tru it at the bird
It cause the bird to go after Nate as he saw this he ran to the side of the bottle and then the back almost got pierced by the beak but he ran past the hole and Maurice was getting ready to shot but the bird didn't follow he stude there looking at the bottle and then he hit the bottle
Realizing he wasn't getting shot at he completely ignored Nate and kept hitting and rolling us around we became dizzy realizing this Nate tried to get it's attention back not working
Fuck I gotta get out of here fuck
I got to the opening and got bumped around but I got out I had my bayonet in my hand the bird was still focused on the bottle
I decided that making it unable to fly will make it weaker so I ran and jumped to the wing and stabbed it on the section that looked like a bone seeing that it did works but had to make sure so I began puncturing deeper and started to cut its wing but he started to flap the wing and tru me to the side.
The bird now had revenged in its head soly focused on me I began to run the opposite way just I kept running
On the other side having been left alone they began regrouping and leaving the bottle Nate " give me your gunpowder hurry up" having collected enough gunpowder he began running in our direction he played on blowing up the bird but first he had to catch up to us
Fuck why did I attacked him I could've just ran back and said we where attacked mabey we could have brought back reinforcement I'm getting tired hes catching up huff huff
The bird realizing that his prey was getting tired he just started to walk he hit my back forcing me on the floor he dint attacked me immediately but he started to poke me not hard enough to kill me but still hurt
I felt my left hand go completely numb I knew something was wrong but I still look three off my fingers where gone huh I slowly started to go to sleep
Damn it just throw it at its head and set it on fire I saw the bird and trew dirt on it
it turned its head to me I panicked and toss the gunpowder with a flare making it explode but I set it up to early it bearly hurt him but it did leave him dizzi and unable to think straight I decided to just grab Jake and run to the bottle
I kept running not looking back i don't know how long I kept running but I heard the bird start walking to us but in front there was Henry and the rest of the troops I ran past them and heard " fire " I heard a sputtering sound then " bayonet set ready and attack him" I just kept runing I need to get medical or at least get somone to stop the bleeding " Hey! Stop he needs the bleeding to stop" I don't want to but stoped and let him do what he wanted " rip you clothes no nevermind it's dirty damn we need something that's clean your water rip a small part that can rap around his hand and por water on it
