Why we have defense

Chapter 1
The cold winter night was creeping in, snuffing the glowing embers of warmth, which stirred me from my bed. There was a shrill sound low on the edge of my hearing, The Full Moon touching softly thru my windows, lighting up the familiar surroundings of my bedroom, in a most eerie glow, I felt uneasy, and on edge, dreading the coming minutes.
They Had found us.
For years, we have hidden here in the mountains, away from their conquest, and damnation, being one with nature and each other, against all odds, and thru the end of the world, to be defeated once more here tonight.
With a quick step I gathered my necessities, pondering on how far they could be, and if not already somewhere in the town. My sword, my bow, and my knives, nothing else was needed, there was no escaping, there was no hiding, the feeling inside me so intense I could barely make my self walk quietly out of my bedroom, I bound silently into the shadow of my hallway as not to wake my children, sleeping in their chambers unaware, I check to make sure their doors are secured, at least buy some time, When I heard the sound of fighting in the distance, it had already begun!!
For years we lived in peace with out they who had ruined the sovereignty of this land and its people, with death disorder and chaos, The people coming to them were murderers thieves, bandits, rouges, rapist, and soldiers all in one group, banding together for survival the easy way, by taking it from others. they freely engaged in cannibalism, stole water food women and children from villages, all over the land, and now they had found us once more.
We must have faith in each other I told my self as I shriveled in the face of what was before me, and as the cries and swords got louder, I knew it was time to go!!
Outside I found the arrows beginning to fly from our towers stationed all about our perimeter, on the front of the village could be attacked directly we had backed ourselves into a corner, and built walls, the fighting was going on outside the wall, the arrows, just starting to reach meant larger fare was en route, I could hear from neighbors no co motion, none of the guards had managed to sound an Alarm, which meant they could be inside the walls already sneaking from house to house. I began looking about tracing steps in the dusty roads, and found a group of us huddled together gearing up, just noticing the incoming fire.
We made our plans, and a group of us went to the walls to instigate, while the rest patrolled, dodging the badly fired arrows, glancing off walls, no sign of anything yet, but they would come, we had been thru this to many times before, our people who came from those before the end, the ones who built these places we settled, and learned from, have constantly tried to hold off the Marauder Hoard of those random monsters who survived who acted on much more uncivilized instincts, and know only violence and hate who take what they want, the predators.
Are we as Human Beings living evolved lives, in structural societies, Prey?
Is that all we are ever to be?
Constantly on the run, hiding out, powerless against the physical might of the wild Humans raping and pillaging their way around the globe, until their is nothing left, and then they will feed off each other until their is nothing left and then we will be no more, their had to be a breaking point hear and now, and by the power of our wills combined we knew we could over come this madness, over come this wild vision of fury cast before our fair villages walls. For our families, who love and live in peace, to our neighbors and friends who help each other out and contribute equaly to the blosoming communtiy. For our people, and our land.

We all still knew in our hearts, we would all die that day, the end of our peace had come, they easily stormed the walls, and raided the plunder within, their were many horrors unfolded that night, the greatest, being the inhumanity of humanity.
