He spins around, hearing the screams of a young girl coming from behind him somewhere. He creeps along with his dog, trying to go in the direction of the scream. He knew he should just keep going along, minding his business, but the scream had sounded like it belonged to a young girl and he couldn't just walk away in good conscious. He continues on, fixing his ears for any sound that might be heard and give him a further clue. He hears a rustle in the brush and silently draws his knife, which is rather old but in almost new condition other than the worn and scared handle. He continues watching all around him, he felt there was something watching him as he crept along. Beads of cold sweat were starting to break out on his dark skin as he comes upon the body of Hope. He approaches, going down on one knee and seeing the teeth marks. He looks around him, he didn't see as little of a girl as he was expecting from the scream he had heard. He looks closer at the bites. This girl wouldn't have had a chance to scream He thinks to himself These bites are too well placed He sighs. He recognized the girl. He had seen her around the orphanage, though he had never formally met her. Tears form in his eyes, not for the death, but for the possibility that she, like himself might have no one to morn her of give her a proper burial. He wasn't sure if that was the case, but with her being at the orphanage, it was possible. He whispers "Come on Autumn" and heads towards the orphanage, feeling that he needed to at least inform the adults there of what had happened and perhaps inform them of the fact that there was a quite likely chance that there had been another person out there and he hadn't seen the supposed second person.
