Noah
was begging them to find safety in the Ark because a flood was coming to drown
all the bad people. Shaba didn’t need anyone to tell him what a flood was. He
would never forget how some older boys had thrown him over a small waterfall
and he had thrashed and screamed his way to shore. How he had survived he would
never, ever know.
“Shaba!”
The barked command made Shaba’s knees buckle. Was it Mobid? No, but it was just
as bad. The crowd quickly parted as his
dad shoved his way through and flung Shaba on the ground. A woman tittered nervously
as Jakal thrashed him.
A sharp
cry came from the Ark’s doorway. Jakal rose and shook his black hair out of his
eyes, glared at Noah then continued beating the lad.
Another
stern command came from above, and Raibo said later he thought for sure Noah
and his sons were going to plunge into the crowd and break up the fight, but
just then Jakal yanked Shabo to his feet and dragged him away. Raibo didn’t
dare follow, he was sure Shaba would be killed anyway.
