Chapter Fifteen: The Toy Soldiers

 While Hunter was sleeping, the toy soldiers are doing most of the work. First, they check his backpack since Hunter loves his backack, and he puts a lot of things in there. There are many things to find, but a permanent fixture inside is a flashlight. He cannot leave the house without it.

Second, the toy soldiers make sure that he drinks his milk. They also guard his bed, in case something is hiding beneath it. 

Third, they check his health and overall happiness. They wanted to make sure that he is alright, fit, and that a vapor of death cannot be extracted from him. They are constantly on the look out for the Green Snokers to sneak in, and do all the work they needed to do. They will have to try harder because the weapons of the toy soldiers are ready.

They will take aim and fire at the target.

The Green Snokers always enter through the windows, so some of the toy soldiers are stationed there. Fall is fast approaching, so the wind is starting to get colder. The view outside was calm, yet the cold seems visible. The weapons are ready just in case.

Meanwhile, Hunter is sleeping like a rock. He just came from a camping trip with his dad, and he had a great time. The great outdoors is a source of happiness for him, and he loves to appreciate the beauty of nature. He plans to take Biology in College and pursue this passion.

As some of the soldiers were stationed near the door of the bedroom, they heard something materialize just outside the hallway. The toy soldiers are alerted by the unusual phenomenon, and before they can even react accordingly, a Mirrorite appeared and just passed through the door.

"How is the child?" he asked the toy soldiers.

The toy soldiers are trained not to respond directly, in case someone is using a decoy to deceive them, and so they are using a coded language to communicate with the Mirrorites.

"Roger, that is correct," the Mirrorite confirmed.

The toy soldiers are now making a report about Hunter's camping trip, and the details are being relayed to him with clarity and swiftness.

"Very well, good job," the Mirrorite said.
