We were both shot the same day; Saba & Nastaran

Nastaran Azimi, my 24 year old friend who had just joined us in Camp Ashraf , after the 2009 uprisings in Iran, was shot like me , as she was chanting "stay away from our home" to the abusive and violent Maliki forces who were intruding into our camp with armored vehicles.
She was shot in her lungs.
I saw her just say "oh" and fall.
We did not know what to do at first. One of my friends just shouted:"carry her, carry her. she is shot ! "
So we carried her to a safer place only a few meters away.
She was laid on the ground like tens others who were also shot. Her mouth was half open, her eyelids still open and I just looked and hoped she would hang on till we take her to the clinic.
We all knew that, since two years of siege had left us nothing, it would be hard for the Drs to do anything.
Still we hoped.
Then Paricherh jumped up. Her face lit up and so firm in countenance that i though she was going to start shouting.. But instead she leaped towards the flying bullets that hit the ground all around us.
One of us shouted.. "Khahar nastaran ..sit .. don't stand up.. Sit please!"
She was shot too.. And we could no longer hear her pleading Parichehr to be careful.. She was shot too!
