Raine nodded, gripping her only weapon tightly, and circled around to see if it really would get them inside. Under the scent of all the decay that surrounded them, she could smell blood; even if Sheena wasn't here, they needed to follow.

Considering, she wasn't surprised to find a dead body lying on the ground, but discovering it was apparently a long-dead horse was... something else. "That's strange," Raine said, frowning. "I wonder--"

Then it moved... she managed to bite back a shriek, but she stumbled backwards so quickly she nearly fell. When it moved again, but feebly, she finally realized it was only twitching; she hesitated, but moved forward to examine the body. The horse looked like it had been killed here a long time ago, but it also appeared to be in the very end of its death throes. There was room to get by, but just barely. Creeping closer, Raine saw a trail of blood clearly belonging to someone else... it led inside.

"Let's go in." We need to hurry.
