Years ago, scientists made a major breakthrough in combining DNA. They created a human/wolf hybrid, a stronger, more intelligent type of human, but prone to violent outbursts, with short tempers, and something of a blood lust, though scientists were confident that the more they created, the problems would fade. It didn't exactly happen that way. The 'werewolves', as they were called, got it into their heads that they were better than their creators. They started to fight against the humans, and it turned into a full-blown war.
The werewolves won, and humans went on the run, fearing for their lives. The scattered across the globe, making small villages where they could. They had no technology, that was taken by the werewolves, and few weapons. Guns are not available to them, and they can only fight with knives, and whatever else they can get their hands on. One of these medieval-esque villages is set in a forest in the English countryside. It's been given the name Den Adel, and the people who live in this small community think it's fine, and that they will be safe.
They are wrong. Having now gotten their hands on all the technology they can, the werewolves have found a few of the villages, Den Adel being one of them. Determined to wipe out the rest of the species, becoming the dominant one, they are planning an attack on the village. A small squad will be sent, and the attack will take place in darkness, so the humans won't know what hit them.
Can you survive the night?

Natalie felt cold, though she didn't know why. Shivering, she sat up groggily, before realising that her blanket had fallen off her in the middle of the night. Damn. It was going into winter, and the huts that everyone in the village lived in weren't exactly the warmest. Standing, she picked up the blanket and wrapped it around herself in a vain attempt at warming up, but it didn't work. Sighing, she threw it off, and picked her clothes up from where she'd left them. She had few left, seeing as most of the clothes were handmade, and most hers were falling apart. She blamed the werewolves, and the scientists who had created them. If it hadn't been for them, maybe what was left of the humans wouldn't be constantly living in fear.
But the village of Den Adel was safe. Of that, Natalia felt confident. They had been there for a few months, and they hadn't been attacked. It made a nice change to the last place she'd stayed in. That place had come under attack almost immediately. Raking her fingers through her hair to comb them, she thought of the group who had arrived the previous day. They had said they'd lost a few people because they'd come under attack at the started, though there was now no sign of the werewolves. Thank God for that, Natalie thought, leaving her small hut, and shivering in the cold air. She hated winter.
