The wīndigöm was flying through the air, claws outstretched and pointing directly at Daniel's throat when Joe's knife came out of nowhere, hitting the wīndigöm in the side. The wīndigöm fell to the ground, wounded but not dead. As he fell, Daniel grabbed Joe's knife and tossed it back to him. Daniel swung with his knife at a wīndigöm, but the blade did nothing, not even pierce the skin. Apparently Joe's knife did something to them that Daniel's did not.
The wounded wīndigöm lunged at Joe. Joe instinctively held his knife out in front of him, and the wīndigöm ran straight into the fire. It glowered at Joe and made a rasping sound, and then its eyes faded. Joe jerked his knife back, and the wīndigöm fell to the ground, dead. The other three looked down at their fallen comrade, and then at Joe, who was as stunned as they were. Joe tossed his knife to Daniel and said,
"It has 耐火石材 in it."" So that's their weakness, fire!" Joe yelled excitedly.

Daniel caught it and looked up just in time to see the three monsters tackle Joe. They went down into a nearby creek, and when Daniel shined his flashlight down there, only three wīndigöms emerged. What's worse, they has grown, so, standing at their full height, they towered over Daniel at 9 feet tall. That's the last thing that he remembered before he started running.
That was what Daniel thought about as he ran. After a while, he stopped and took another breather. He was sure that the wīndigöms were far behind him. What he didn't expect was a wīndigöm to jump out of the bushes in front of him. He ran faster than he thought was humanly possible; faster than he had ever ran before. He made a break back to the campsite, running like the wind.
The wīndigöms were faster. When he got to the campsite, a wīndigöm jumped at him from behind the tent. Daniel ran off briefly at a constant negative pace, and then another wīndigöm lunged out of the woods! He ran back the way he came, past the tent, and to the edge of the woods. He stopped for a second, took a deep breath, and started running into the woods. He ran so fast he thought he was flying. Trees became a blur. Unfortunately, he ran right into a wīndigöm. Soon four wīndigöms, including the three that ate Joe, now attacked Daniel. Daniel fought fiercely, but he could not overcome the might of the wīndigöm.
