their job for them. “Well that’ll be all then, thank you.”
     
                  Jacinda walked off, completely ignoring the guards when they asked if she’d like them to go with her, exactly like she thought. She headed for the wooded area, knowing that he had to be there and worried about what she might find. As she walked into the tree line she heard rustling through the brush and instinctively made fists of her own. She knew it was a psychological trait kicking in, one called Fight or Flight, and her responses were choosing to fight whatever it was. She wasn’t normally like that, a danger seeker, but she had to find Henson and felt like his life may be in danger, or lost if she doesn’t. She walked through the woods, fearing that Henson was lying somewhere she couldn’t see, hidden under brush or fallen leaves from the dying trees all around.
     
                  Winter was coming about and the beautiful colors were shifting and causing the leaves to fall, covering things up that were visible just hours before, like a body lying unconscious in the woods. It heightened her own anxiety but she focused on the psychological idea that it was her own imagination making up the horrible thoughts, her fears filling in the blanks from where what she knew left off. She knew this to be true because she had studied it for years. She sighed and tried to calm herself down, assuring herself that he was alive somewhere.
     
                  As she looked around she was horrified by the sight of blood splattered on a leaf and followed the trail of blood, fearing she was going to find a body, and she did. It was a naked dead man lying face down and Jacinda instantly ran to his side fearing that it was Henson. She quickly flipped the bloody and torn up body. She exhaled when she saw it wasn’t Henson. She let go of it and stood up, horrified by the sight of the dead body but was still focused enough to check out the wounds that had killed the man. They were claw marks, but they were massive as if some beast the size of an elephant had clawed it. She started shaking, wondering what was in the woods and looked around, spotting yet another dead man lying naked in the brush, barely covered in fallen leaves. She ran over to him and again, it wasn’t Henson.
     
                  The horrifying revelation that the men were killed by something large dawned on Jacinda and she began to wonder if she had walked into her death. She swallowed hard as she forced herself to be brave and continue checking out the woods. She knew she should go and contact the guards about the dead bodies but she wanted to find Henson first. She found a third dead man lying naked in the brush but he was torn in half causing Jacinda to nearly vomit. She could feel the bile rising and she took time to let her stomach settle before pressing on.
     
                  She wondered how powerful something had to be to tear a human in half and began thinking that she should maybe get out of there. She heard movement in the brush behind her and spun around, instantly panicked and the hair on the back of her neck stood straight up. She realized that the sound was coming from something small and it helped her relax but that was only until she heard another moving behind her again. She took a step back and tried getting both movements in her sight but heard yet a third movement start coming towards her through the brush behind her. She spun around and a little fox trotted out from a hollowed out log and scampered into the brush, playing along with another fox. Once they spotted Jacinda they ran away from her as fast as they could but it only told Jacinda that momma was around there too. She breathed in slowly, trying to control her breathing as she felt her heart just thumping in her chest. She looked back at the other two movements and spotted the white tail of a fox just before one of the sounds get hidden in brush again.
