1 When Darkness Needs Light

(K.R. Relano)

There is a dark mysterious cloud which is covering almost half of the state of Texas. We can't see anything, but we hear something loud and horrifying inside. Where part of a science team which is assign to investigate what's inside this dark cloud we now just call "The Veil". My name is Victoria Thompson, I'm a lead scientist assign to investigate what is inside the Veil.

How this all started we don't know? But, we do know what ever is inside is not good. This place seems to be a sort of portal or a dimension from somewhere which invisible monster and demons are inside. We hear a lot of loud shrieking sound, like they want to cross on our side.

Inside this dark cloud this creatures are invisible to us so we can't really identify whats inside. " Loud scream..... scratches from a very large creature you can really hear those things outside. We tried to send a 15 men expedition inside the Veil. Inside you can't really see anything, even our night vision googles can't identify a single creature inside. Sending a team inside we thought we would finally be able to identify what is truly inside this thing. Unfortunately, we made a mistake sending those men inside. Those where the last day we where able to see them again. We don't know if those men are still alive or dead to be honest!

After that incident we never tried sending anyone inside again! We send several drones inside but we can never find never anything inside. Running out time we need to stop the spreading since this thing is spreading fast and I mean half of Texas is already been covered by this dark cloud. We heard from our sources that there was a girl and boy who went inside the Veil. They where around the age of 15-10 I believe. Brothers and sisters, the boy got out but her sister never was never found again. Alive or dead, we don't know really? The boy got blinded after encountering one of this creatures, but after getting blinded this also gave abilities to see what ever is inside the Veil.

Our team rush quickly to fetch the boy, we have at least a month before this dark cloud covers the entire state of Texas. I talked to the boy...he said his name is Thomas! He said there town was the first that got eaten by this dark cloud. Lost inside the dark, him and his sister tried fought off the creatures inside. He said "This creatures where everywhere...I did the best thing I can to fight them off. I was really scared! I tried my best to fight them off but they still got my sister!", in tears while he was narrating the entire thing to us! We asked him if he could accompany us inside? With no hesitation the boy just said yes right away! "He said there might be still a chance to find her sister!" I told the kid " Will do our best to find your sister kid!", knowing even if her sister is still alive or dead.

He told us that he doesn't care if she is alive or dead as long as I find her! We set to inside the Veil at noon. Going inside again we never think of any weapons to bring or would rocket rounds would even hurt this creatures at all. "Would M-16 rounds even hurt this things or do we need some damn rocket launchers?" I don't want to sound very scenical, but we are litterally goind blind here!

We setup a team to go inside, two armoured APV that will be our transport going inside. This things are tanks, "There is no way this things would be able to hurt as long as we are inside this tanks!Right!!!"...That's when I told myself we are dead! This things where everywhere, ramming our truck from side to side. Five more of this hits will surely crush us inside, saying to myself "This is it where about to die!" I always accepted my death but not this time, "I won't die like this! Not like this!" wimpering... Then suddenly we notice that they only hit the side of the truck and never the front itself. They where avoiding something infront, what could that be? Oh boy why did we not know this right away? Of course this thing are creatures of the night, what do creatures of the night are afraid of? Lights...

I told everyone to get there flashlights and try to light up all sides of the tank. Lighting every side of the tank, they are not hurt by the light but they cannot get through where the light touches. As long as we light anything near them they cannot penetrate it. Now, that we know there weaknesses we where able to go outside the tank. Thomas was able to see the creatures and he was able to point where we can light our flash lights at them. We where finally able to fend off the creatures, after an almost 20 minute long stand-off we where able to survive the ordeal. Six members of the team only survive the attack, the others got crushed inside the tank itself.

Ventured inside the Veil without transport, we sought to find supplies inside like more batteries and flashlights. We are all afraid to move forward, but we don't have any other options now but to move forward and seek to find a way to end this nightmare.
