Without the rumors, Blade might have started feeling that he was simply in another, more comfortable, prison.
Blade started to back out hastily, in search of fresh air.
Blade saw a Wolf leader plunge to the ground at his feet and start to get up.
Blade started to rise and another body crashed into him.
In fact, Blade started by making his first two bows too strong.
Blade started twisting the top off one of the bottles.
Again Blade started to rise, and realized that somehow he could not.
Blade started moving through the trees to his right, to get clear of the burning barn at least.
Then Blade cautiously turned his body to the left and started walking in place again.
Blade started to walk along the line toward the center, where they might need more leadership.
