"What if we get lost?"
"We won't. Just go down and down this mountain, I can track all of your scents, I will bring all of us together. Trust me." Khalil assured his friends in a hurry. The three other kids looked at each other in worry but ended up agreeing with him.
After that, Khalil ran on a dark path, but he easily got scared and so he quietly walked close by the bushes. He heard a few steps and voices of men, this made him stop, curl underneath, and stop. Even with his breathing. He clasped his mouth tightly in fear of making a noise. Thankfully, the men soon left the place and ran away.
Young little Khalil looked up to check if the men were gone, and he saw no trace of them anymore. He sat back down with a sigh of relief. Now he wants to go find his friends but he is scared that the night is too long and the men are still going to search all over.
'Maybe one of us gets caught.'
