Gradually, the laughter faded.
One of the women noticed something unusual on the dog’s fur and leaned closer in confusion. Dark stains were visible along its side and legs, contrasting sharply with its reddish coat. At first, there was uncertainty, but as they looked more closely, it became clear that the marks were blood.
The discovery immediately changed the mood.
Concern replaced curiosity, and the group began to wonder whether the dog itself had been injured. One of them cautiously observed its movements, expecting to see signs of pain or limping. However, the animal moved quickly and confidently across the sand without any indication of injury. It appeared physically strong, yet emotionally agitated.
Suddenly, the dog barked again, turned sharply, and ran toward a rocky section of the shoreline.
The behavior created hesitation among the friends. They exchanged uncertain glances, unsure whether to follow. However, something about the dog’s persistence made them believe it was trying to guide them somewhere. Its repeated returns to check if they were following added to the sense that its actions were intentional.
After a brief moment of hesitation, the group decided to follow.
They left their belongings behind and walked quickly across the sand as the dog moved ahead of them. The closer they approached the rocky area, the more uneasy the atmosphere became. The sound of waves crashing against the stones grew louder, and the terrain became more uneven and difficult to walk on.
The dog stopped several times, turning back to ensure they were still behind it before continuing forward.
Then, without warning, it reached a point near the rocks and began barking intensely.
