Stories of shadow: death in the shadows ep one

This is a new series we will be doing on a post apocalyptic world of shadow. 
5 generations after the war began and left the world in ruins the fractured remains of humankind continue the long war there ancestors started all reason and purpose forgotten as the brutal tribes savagely battle over the relics of the old world.... 

And here is the first story for you all to enjoy, remember to tell us what you think so we can make the next even better so until next time have a good one and enjoy!

Nick awoke to the freezing howl of the wind roaring through the ruins the bitter chill biting at his fingers and face as he curled in a corner of what once was a church by the looks of the ruins.  
He had been there for the last 3 hours in the freezing cold of the night, It must have been at leat twenty degrees below freezing minimum all nights in shadow were like that.  
As the light began to emerge from the icy black of night the temperature began to clim to a point that Nick could start moving again without freezing , he stood and slung his long rifle over one shoulder and his small string tie bag over the other his deep brown and green cloak flapping in the wind exposing his light brown  combat pants and jacket. 
As he began to walk his big leather army boots crunched in the gravely ruins "Another day of wondering the ruins of the old world in search for the answers or whatever the shit was that Drake goes on about" Nick thought to himself a slight smile on his face. After about four hours of walking and looking he stumbled across a small camp of fire-born, stood near a raging fire five dark skinned and muscular men all stood around a young woman with pale skin and deep brown hair. 
She looked to be a pretty little thing under all the grime and filth, she seemed to be a slave or a captive of some kind her clothes were all torn and mangled exposing part of her breast and part of her back side. 
All of a sudden she screamed a hair razing  cry for help as one of the men grabbed her from behind and ripped her trousers off and tossed them aside, before he could do anything else Nick drew his rifle and took two shots in quick succession muffled by the rags rapped around the barrel of the gun and all but silenced by the cries of the  woman so they didn't hear a thing and didn't know what hit them when two of them wheat  down the one holding the woman with a shot straight through his throat gargled and writhed as he hit the ground spraying blood everywhere  the man next to him got a shot the eye and dropped to the ground instantly, before the others could draw there weapons another was down perfect shot through the chest. 
The woman had grabbed a knife off the corpse of one of her captives and stabbed another in the neck covering herself in thick read blood, just as Nick shot the last. 
The woman stood in the middle of the camp looking all around for her saviour but Nick was a good sixty meters away lay completely still in the rubble she had no way if spotting him or so he thought she looked him dead in the eye even at this distance it was obvious that she could see him perfectly clear....
