 My hand let go of the torch, "what is it?" Stephen turned to face me. I pointed to the bloody ground. A human foot. Surrounded by bright red blood.  "A foot?" Stephen questioned as he frowned "do you think its James's?" he asked again. I shrugged, not wanting to move. My skin suddenly became cold, all the hairs on my bare arms stood to attention but my palms felt sweaty.
"We need to leave!" he said harshly as he grabbed my arm. I didn't move. Something was not right about this. I snapped out of it and smacked Stephen's hand away from me, "then you go back" I whispered as I looked up at him, I could see the fear in his face but the bravery in his eyes. "I am not leaving till I find James! No man gets left behind" I said sharp and proudly. Stephen's face filled up with fear "but there's a human foot there Ashley. James's f-" I stopped him there. I just couldn't listen to anymore. "How do you know its his?" I shouted at him, I had no idea why but I shouted.

Turns out they could hear it back at the campfire, all of the group gasped but Jess. My guess was that she was still in shock. "I bet that was Ashley" said Harry from inside his tent. It was so dark around there, they was all hoping the fire wouldn't go out. Summer, the girly stuck up one of the group was cleaning her pink wellies. "Ugh. Can someone help me please? My shoes are muddy again" All the group laughed, except for Jess. "They are not shoes Summer, they're wellington boot and they are supposed to get muddy" said the know it all, known as Kadon. Summer throws her boots on the ground in a give-up kind of huff and hides in her tent. Jess was just watching the orange flames begin to burn out from the campfire. "We need more wood" she said in a toneless voice. With that Harry popped his head out of his tent "I'll go with you, Jessica" stepping out and slipping on his own wellies. Jess stood up and made her blanket drop off her shoulders and on the dirt. She looked like she wasn't bothered at all while she walked away from the tents. Harry soon caught up and was walking beside her.
