As I lay awake with the Rani clawing at the house I was glad that I wasn't able to put the alarm on. It would have just gone off and alerted more Rani to our position.
Eventually they broke through the downstairs windows and it would seem a few climbed through. But none seem to be able to get past the cupboard on the stairs.
That of course doesn't make me want to leave the loft space. We did however have to just to survey the scene.
It's not pretty.
A horde is still milling around us, slowly displacing. I give a couple of days before it's really safe to stay on the first floor. This is such a major let down. If we had been more careful they wouldn't have caught up to us, or maybe, given the amount of time between the first shot and them arriving, they would have just passed us by. Regardless we are stuck in a small area for a while.
In shifts we cleared up what we could to make our place to sleep more appropriate using the former families possessions. We have even made a sign for when we leave so that others know about the place to stay if they ever find it.
We haven't slept due to the constant noise. We've ended up talking about 'what ifs' in terms of what if the end never happened. It is a direct area we have never spoken of before. It's actually nice to dream of a relaxing time. If anything it's good because Sam keeps drifting off as we talk. At least one of us will be well rested.
I hope you make another day
