CHAPTER 3

Back at the treehouse, the boys were still thinking of Numbah Five and Numbah Three. Numbah Two was going to find them a new weapon to start off their battle. They thought that the DC has taken them hostage. There could be no other explination. As Numbah One was walking in the hallway, he saw Numbah Four staring out the window looking at the horizon. Numbah One knew that he was thinking about Numbah Three. As he was thinking about Numbah Five. Numbah Four remembered memories he had with Numbah Three. He remembered when she was kidnapped by King Sandy. He tried to save the girl from being married to this guy. She was the first thing on his mind. And he remembered when she saved him from the Crazy Old Cat Lady. After she saved him, he tried to do his imatation of Mr. Huggykins of saying 'I Love You.' He wanted her to know he really meant it.

Numbah One knew how Numbah Four felt. He also remembered memories of Numbah Five. He remembered when he was turned into an adult, and she was the only reason why he got back to the team. And he remembered when he was blackmailed by the Delightful Children. Numbah Five stood up to him. But most importantly, he remembered when she revealed to Numbahs Two, Three and Four that the last time she didn't help Numbah One, she would never forgive herself. But he knew it wasen't her fault. He missed her as much as Numbah Four missed Numbah Three. They both hoped they would get the two girls back... alive.

At the island, Numbah Five and Numbah Three were searching around the trees and bushes in search for shelter. Numbah Three was quite scared to think that there might be something out there that could attack them. But Numbah Five was so confident that they could find a way out of the island alive. Because she was searching side to side, front and behind for any attackers, Numbah Three was hardly paying attention to where she was going. After her last turn, she was lost. She was shivering with fear until she realized that Numbah Five wasen't with her! As she searched everywhere, she got even more scared. She couldn't take running back and forth around the trees, so she called out:

"Numbah Five!! Where are you!!??"

Numbah Five heard her friend's scream. Then she started to reply:

"Numbah Three! Stay where you are! If you run you'll get even more lost!"

"But-But what should I do!?"

"Call out so I can hear ya!"

Numbah Three called out her name many times so Numbah Five can find her. It was taking long. When she was getting tired, she heard growling. Slow, smooth growling. She stopped screaming and turned to the noise. The growling was getting louder, and closer, and closer, and even more closer...

It's quiet...

"Numbah Three?" Numbah Five said to herself.

Then she was startled by a loud scream. It was Numbah Three's scream!

"Numbah Three!!!" Numbah Five screamed.She followed the scream to find Numbah Three lying on the ground shivering to death.

"Numbah Three, what happened!?" Numbah Five asked.
"T-T-There w-w-was s-s-som-something in there!!"
"Oh, I bet it was just nothing Numbah Three. It was probably a rabbit or something."
"No! I heard growling!! Loud, vicious growling!"
"...Are you sure?"
"Of Course I'm sure!!"
"Well, get up Numbah Three. We got a long way to go."
"To Where?"
"I don't know Numbah Three. But I hope it's a place where the boys can find us..."
