Introduction
The definition of a hunter is a person who searches for or seeks something. When a person hears this word, they assume a hunter finds and kills animals. This is not always the case. There are people out there who protect the human race from things other than the known. These hunters find the things that can't be explained and does what needs to be done about the problem.
These people generally live normal lives during the day. Many have families and even jobs. But when the sun goes down, they leave all of that behind. These brave souls do not fear the night. The night fears them.
The children of these hunters are raised fairly differently. They receive weapons training, learn how to make fake I.D.s and credit cards, and learn how to kill. Their vacations from school were not spent relaxing near an ocean or playing games at home. Instead, they traveled across the country alongside their parents.
Sarah Greenely was one of these children. Her sister and herself were raised to be like their parents. Many hunter children felt forced and hated what they did, but not Sarah. It was dream job and she never thought of doing anything else. Her mind was made when she started training at about age six. She knew she wanted to do this for the rest of her life.
Her sister was the same. A little older than Sarah, Maria started on her own early. When she was home, the two planned their future. They dreamed of living on the road and saving people together. The hunt was all they knew and they didn't care as long as they were together. They never wanted to stop hunting and their parents were proud.
It didn't turn out that way, however. Sarah travels the highways of the United States in buses and taxi cabs alone. Her parents have stopped hunting and beg Sarah to do the same. She refuses to listen. Being a hunter was all she knew and she wasn't ready to give it up. She wasn't going to let what happened change her entire life. She just couldn't.
She knows it's dangerous to be alone in this business, but she prefers it now. The less people the better. At twenty-four, the prime of her life, she loves the danger and strongly believes that she can do things herself. She keeps contact with her parents down to a minimum, mostly to inform them that she is still breathing. This way, she is truly on her own.
Her life has been close to ending a few times throughout the years, but that was normal. You cannot be considered a hunter until you have a few close encounters with death. At least, that's what she keeps telling herself.
Her journey had brought her to Toledo, Ohio. She was on her way to somewhere in the middle of Pennsylvania, only passing through, when she caught wind of a supernatural occurrence. It sounded like her kind of thing. She couldn't leave knowing that she could have helped. She didn't know it yet, but this decision to stay would be the most important decision she would ever make.
