After she made sure he was ok komal ran back all the way to the village and up the hills where baba and yassar usually lead the sheep grazing but they weren't there. She felt her breath running thin.
"Komal?" She heard a familiar voice calling to her. It was yasar and the dog, he seemed out of breath. "What happened? You look haggard" he commented sizing her upside down appearance. Komal rolled her eyes.
I don't have time for this.
"Where is baba?" She quized eagerly. She had to get professional help. The tricks used to patch the sheeps wont be enough to help hydar.
"Oh. He is busy with some foreigners." Yasar pointed to the west. "They're headed to the neighbourin village." Komal feft somthing ominous and asked further "why? What were they after?"
"I don't know. I had to take the sheeps home and besides It's non of our business" yasar lied. He had heard everything but he knew that komal would be better up not knowing.
The dog however disagreed with yasars point and barked woof! Arf! Woof! woof
(They are searching for a wounded man! They say he is dangerous. )
That could only mean... komal frowned. "Where's baba now?"
Komal kneeled ifront of the shepherd dog. "He is showing them to the forest"
Da dum
Da dum
Da dum
Komal felt her heart in her throat as she bolted back to the forest. Since baba took them to the deeper part of the forest first. she had at least a bit of time to take him elsewhere ... but where?
