It took less than an hour for the sun to rise. The group made it's way to a small clearing about 50 yards from where they had camped. Daryl made everyone stop then dropped to his haunches studying the ground.
"What are you doing?" Matt asked. "We need to get after them."
"We will, but I told ya there's some treacherous ground around here. Josiah used to do a lot of trappin in this area. Dependin on which way they came from, we might run into any number of Josiah's traps and such."
Daryl stood up. "Y'all better stay behind me. Just be careful to step where I step."
"We'll stay behind ya unless we smell em. If we do, one of us gonna jump in front of ya so don't be putting no silver tipped arrows in our asses." Bobby Lee said firmly.
"Fair enough but gimme some warnin first." Daryl said starting forward.

Sheriff Foley had been at the hospital all night hoping Mark 'Sam' Samuels would wake up and tell him what had happened. He had left Daryl and the boys up on the mountain and gone straight to the funeral home to find Sam on the floor with a chunk of flesh missing from his arm. The girl that had supposedly gone missing was laying on the floor with an embalming needle jammed in her eye.
Sam had been rushed to the hospital. By the time Foley had finished waiting for someone to come and handle the girl's body a couple of hours had passed. Since Sam had the only mortuary in town, Foley had to wait for someone to come to get up and drive 50 miles from the next county. By the time Foley arrived at the hospital Sam was out of his head with a fever talking about dead people walking.
Sam had died a few minutes ago. The doctors were stumped. They should have been able to handle a fever. They figured that there was obviously something else. Some sort of poison in the bite.
Foley went to the nurse's station and poured himself another cup of coffee. He then went outside to call Daryl. Cletus said those folks the saw up on the mountain were bit too. It looked like they had made their way to town.

"Shit. Shit, Shit, SHIT!" Daryl yelled as he paced back and forth.
"I take it the news won't good." Bobby Lee observed.
"No! The fuckin' news won't good." Daryl yelled back kicking the trunk of the nearest tree.
"Well it might help if you told us the news." Edward noted.
Daryl continued to pace back and forth as he spoke. "Foley just told me that Sam is dead. Our local undertaker. Somethin took a bite out of his arm and Sam died of a fever about a half hour ago. That girl's body that was missin was layin on the floor with a embalmin needle in er eye.
We had a run in with em last night. Ain't no way anythin on foot coulda killed Josiah, gone to town and killed Sam and come back from town to try for us last night!"
"They're moving off the mountain." Bernardo said brow furrowed into a frown. "Maybe they were eating animals at first but somehow got a taste for human flesh and now they are looking for more food?"
"That's what happens when a shifter goes rogue." Manny said. "Most shifter groups will hunt a rogue down and kill them to protect their pack. This is like having nothing but rogues in an area."
"If an entire town is at risk we may need to call in help." Edward said. "Anita would be a big help, but she's got her hands full with the Mother of all Darkness."
"What about Otto?" Bernardo suggested.
"He's out of pocket. Took some personal time out of the country." Edward explained. "I don't see how we can avoid reporting this."
"I don't care who you call in, but there's a town full of people down there that ain't got a clue what's about to hit 'em. I'm a call Foley tell him to get everybody indoors." Daryl said.
He was dialing the Sheriff's number when Willa Francis came shambling out of the woods. She came toward him with her arms out stretched. There was no way this woman should be walking. Her neck was a ragged mess. It was obvious that something had been eating on her and with that much damage to both the jugular and carotid artery, she should be dead.
He dropped the phone and grabbed the 9mm. The bullet tore through her chest without slowing her down. Daryl adjusted his aim putting a bullet through her heart she still didn't slow down...
"Headshots!" Edward yelled. "Go for the headshot."
Daryl aimed between Willa's eyes. This time she dropped like a stone. The gunfire died down. Five bodies lay on the ground not moving. Daryl noticed Rev Collins among them.
"All of these people should be dead I mean before we shot them. No way they should have been running around in the woods." Bernardo noticed.
Daryl set his bow as the gun was now empty. A low hissing growl from the woods caught his attention. He turned to see another one headed his way. It wasn't anyone he recognized. He fired the arrow aiming for the man's head. The body dropped to the ground as dead as the rest. "I guess it don't matter what you shoot em with long as it's in the head."
"Hey Daryl, you might want to answer the Sheriff." Bobby Lee said nodding at the phone on the ground.
"Foley, call the Feds. Then get everybody off the streets. Ya see anybody walkin funny shoot em in the head. We're coming back to town."
