Night of Terror!

The helicopter moved slowly between the skyscrapers and made a turn towards a building under construction. The deafening sound of the blades of the helicopter, the honking and beeping sounds of the vehicles on the highway and the spectacular view formed by the thunder clouds and lightning flashes made the helicopter pilot nauseous. He had seen this view countless times and was sick of it. Not just him, but also every single person in the helicopter.

They all wore a sad face like they were on every other evening when they went out hunting. They were all HEXD (Homeland extra-terrestrial control division) members, a special organization created to capture and kill supernatural beings, monsters, and demons. The organisation was majorly created to deal with supernatural entities but had shifted focus to a new kind of monster- The BANSHIS.
These beings are basically humans but with very little characteristics that separated them from humans. They ate human flesh.

They moved at incredible speed hence were difficult to handle, thus the BANSHI hunters had to be trained specially for that purpose. Thousands of HEXD members die every month as they try hard to curb these beings with an unruly appetite.

An HEXD member death is always guaranteed every time they left their office thus the spiritual ones among them did special fortifications and prayers that would enable them to return, but it seems their prayers were never enough as the BANSHIs defiled all fortifications.

The men sat still on the helicopter seats while silently waiting for orders as they clenched onto their weapons and sweated profusely despite the rushing night wind that blew on their faces.

Each one had a family, each had a life, but for money to sustain their life they had to become hunters as that was the only prospective means of making a living during the chaos. A step many of them will forever regret, while some don't get the chance to since death comes in a flash to those that hesitate.

Their walkie-talkie became active, and the orders came through. Non-expressional faces from earlier became fear ridden. They were about to meet their worst nightmare.
They may not make it back to their families. They will not make it back. All they can do is say their last prayers.
