The bandits dashed through the woods. Jasper was already lagging behind the two older and stronger man and woman, and was finding breathing harder every minute.
Running with his head down, he saw the rock that he had almost tripped over, and dodged it. Sadly, he did not see the large Beech tree he was running at. He collided with it, and stars filled his vision.
The other bandits kept running. It was a much later that they discovered Jasper had disappeared.
