"Finally, this busy day can come to an end..." I plop onto my bed and pull out my Hunter's Watch. In my inbox is a team recruitment notice that's signed by Jenna. "actually became a hunter... UNICORNS and its Alpha Team... I wonder what the veteran hunters are like."Outside my window, under the night, the trees sway, their branches rustling to the beat of the wind. Thunder rumbles in the trees sway, their branches rustling to the beat of the wind. Thunder rumbles in the distance. "Is it about to rain? The weather forecast didn't mention anything about a storm..." Suddenly, the phone rings. "Caleb?"

"I knew you'd still be awake. What're you up to?" Caleb asked

"Just got home. I'm beat."

"Your first day of hunting. Well?"

"It wasn't bad at all. I didn't bring disgrace to my family." I joked

"Well, that's good. What matters is that you're alive."

"What about you? Why are you calling me now? Aren't you on a military flight operation?"

"I should be cruisin' along. But things wrapped up quite nicely and ended early."

"Did you guys encounter any Wanderers in the Deepspace Tunnel? Was it dangerous?"

"Are you actually worried about me?"

"If something happens to you, we won't be able to see Grandma together at the end of the month!"

"Come on. I know how important it is to you. Even if I was in a wheelchair, you'd push me there."

"Ugh, say something good for once!
Don't jinx yourself!"

"All right. It's been peaceful.The field within the tunnel is as stable as it can be. Very few Wanderers. Don't worry."

"Really? Every time you tell me not to worry..."

"Everything else is top secret. My lips are sealed."

"Yeah, yeah. Everything is a secret with you people in the Deepspace Aviation Administration."

"Yeeep. Mysterious, and, spoooky."

"I'm sooo scared. Scary enough for the pip-squeak to put cilantro in your food."

"Okay I'll stop It's late. You should go to bed now. Sweet dreams."I hung up the phone

Ever since Grandma took Caleb and me in, she hasn't stopped worrying about us... I pick up my phone, set an alarm, then walk over to the window. She must be really happy that I joined
UNICORNS.As I draw the curtains, in the darkness, something strange catches my attention. I look up and...Outside my window, separated by only glass, a giant eye turns to meet my gaze.

"What was that?!"

the blink of an eye, darkness swallows everything outside.
I couldn't understand what I just saw. Raindrops fall, their trails of water seemingly cutting everything.
The overwhelming darkness of the night envelops the nearby buildings. A storm rages on, swallowing all the light in Linkon.
