Julianna's tone had changed from uncertain to puzzled, and when the Slayer got closer, her puzzlement turned to concern. Good God, the blonde was a wreck. Hair mussed, clothes torn, but the worst thing was the look in her eyes. A look that was there-but-not-there. The car's headlights pierced the gloom, made up for the broken street lamps. No one else was in sight. The sleeve of Valerie's shirt was soaked through with red fluid. It had puddled a little in her hand due to her arm being pressed against her side.
"You're bleeding."
She didn't know how she sounded when she said it. It wasn't the first time she'd seen blood. In the field or out of it. She'd seen blood when Allison died. Arterial blood. So much of it... The Watcher shook the memory away. Gather your wits, St. Clare. Make yourself useful and help this girl.
She hesitantly opened the driver's side door, exited the vehicle. The motor was still running. "How many of them were there?"
