Monster Hunters

  The month of October is largely associated with  Halloween, an old holiday from the ancient Celtic people in Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. The festival was held in order to ward off evil spirits but today has evolved into something far different. Increasingly we see that society treats this holiday as an invitation and glorification of evil rather then a day to ward evil off. Through out October the stories posted will be Halloween oriented, however; evil will be treated as it is, evil. Please enjoy and feel free to suggest a scenario, listening to "Halloween" by Urban Assault, prior to reading is advised!
                                              

Team 2 entering the second story of the house.

October 1st, 11:54 P.M. It's a calm night when a mischievous teen decides to play a prank on his 10 year old sister and her friend. As the brother walks his sister and her friend back to his house he casually suggest they explore an ominous abandoned house. Feeling as though they were better off sticking with the teen rather than trekking home alone they have no choice but to follow. The night air begins to chill and the only light to be seen is that of the teens flashlight. As they enter, the boy leads the two girls up a rickety set of stairs to the rotting second story. The two young girls giggle nervously as they walk down the darkened halls only illuminated by their hand held flashlights. Now seeing that the girls are walking close together he takes the opportunity to slip out on the vulnerable pair. As he nears the stairs he chuckles to himself when he hears the startled scream of his sisters friend. In this same instance a S.S.A. Tactical Team heads to the point knowing that this house is no ordinary house at all, and in fact poses a great threat to the unsuspecting individuals who enter. The young teen confidently rushes to where he thought he recalled the door being. Instead the gaping mouth of a deep dark hearth greets him. The two young girls on the second floor crouch in a corner trembling and scared to make a sound. The method of contingency response location is a closely guarded secret of the SSA so stop asking questions, just know the SSA is on site and arrives in style with host-nation specific VTOL aircraft, so shut yo mouth and read. The agents sensing the danger that all three individuals were in quickly plowed through the rotting door, careful to maintain a guideline to the exit. Within seconds the team locates the disorientated teen and upon reaching him checks all his vital signs and mental stability. The mission is no success yet. A noise above causes the entire 4 man team to freeze. Footsteps ominously cross the ceiling sending down rotting wood with each black heavy step. Could that be team 2, no, team 2 had not yet reached the second story landing. The young teen still scared and nearly unconscious mutters, "I'm so scared." Seconds later one of the terrified girls' scream sends Team 2's 4 man team racing up the stairway. As Team 1 evacs, Team 2 can be heard crashing through walls and doors until successfully locating the young, innocent girls. As the evil inhabitants  within  attempt to swallow the agents and the girls they ultimately meet their own fate, in the end evil stops with the agents. Even monsters have nightmares. Defend, defy, defeat, Evil Stops Here! ~ 2021 EDIT
