When no one volunteered their tracking skills, James set off again. Before long, he became seperated from the Mason sisters. He searched for what signs he could find, but it took a while before he found the signs of a struggle. Pressing on, a figure soon became visible through the trees. James shouted, but even as he did so, the figure vanished. James hurried to where he had been standing, and found Winter lying in a circle of disturbed leaves and earth. Winona was already there kneeling beside her. The floor was stticky with her blood.
"Jesus, Winter!" He gasped, and fell to his knees beside her. Seeing the severed arm, he immediately threw off his tac-vest and tore a strip from his shirt to bind the wound.
