He jerked her from her warm bed and motioned for her to get dressed and follow him..
His hair had stiff ridges that extended from his forehead to his neck.
The frightful man was covered in black and red paint on his bare chest and face.
Suddenly a bloodied face pulled back her curtain and hovered over, causing her heart to start beating so loudly that it almost drowned out and screams and gunshots.

She realized now that some of the screams were coming from just behind the quilt which hung from the rafters of their house.
Flames from burning houses lit up her window, choking her as she struggled to breathe.
Gunshots rang through the village.
Bolting upright in bed, she shivered as the shrieks grew louder and closer, piercing the predawn darkness.
