Cassie was worried about Serix. How was he handling this? Having to fight against his own people? Surely it was tough for him, and hopefully it wouldn't be something that would later haunt him. It was in the back of her mind as they rushed to the scene of the battle, where all the capable humans were taking cover and firing at the enemy, keeping the Lunairans at bay for now. She rushed to one side of the barrier, crouching down with Jared and Sara, as well as a man she faintly recalled as Wes with the girl named Terra that had brought them food that one day a little bit away from them down the barrier. As she readied her gun and began to take shots at the invading Lunairans. Her first few shots between her shooting and ducking missed, just as many of the others seemed to be doing. 

There was a cry of pain on the Lunairan side, letting her know that at least someone had hit a target. Looking down the way to the others, she barely saw Serix crouched down as well, and there was a look on his face that told her he was the one that had made the hitting shot. She knew it hurt him to have done it. She hated to see him like that. But, right now, there was nothing she could do to comfort him. They had to protect their home first, then worry about emotions later.

She took a couple of other shots, and finally on the next one, she managed to hit one in the stomach, watching the person fall back with a thud on the ground. This reminded her a lot of her earlier days, when she had been in the care of her uncle. The two of them having to kill other humans to protect themselves. It brought up bad memories and left a lump in her throat. These Lunairans, they were her mother's people. How could she not feel guilt for killing one? Of course, not to the extent of guilt Serix likely felt. But it was still there. She crouched back down and swallowed, loading her gun once more as Sarah place a hand on her shoulder, "You got one. That's one down, a hell of a lot more to go."

She nodded and took a deep breath, going back to firing her gun. Things at first were looking to be a dead lock. Not many Lunairans were dying. But every once in a while the halflings would get a good shot in and take one of the many of them down. If they kept this up then surely they could either make them retreat or capture them in some way, right? She continued taking shots, getting another Lunairan in the shoulder, when there was a shout of pain a little ways from her and a girl's scream,

"WES!"

Cassie looked over to see the Terra girl knelt down beside the man named Wes, the poor girl panicking as she shook him, trying to get a response, the man's now clouding over eyes staring blankly at the ceiling with a seared wound in his chest, obviously having been shot by one of the Lunairan's lasers. The young girl, in her panic over her brother's sudden death, stood up, but thankfully Sarah was fast, moving to the teenage girl and pulling her back down just as a laser shot, the laser barely missing the girl's head when she did, "Get down, Terra!" Sarah screamed, holding the girl's arm, blocking the poor thing's view of the dead body as she sobbed, Sara continuing to keep an eye on the girl and shoot at the Lunarians at the same time.

Cassie pulled her eyes away from the heart wrenching scene and went on shooting, wondering just how many they would loose before this fight was finally over.
