CHAPTER 7

Numbah Five and Numbah Three were well prepared for their next journey. Numbah Three was really worried about Numbah Five. Ever since her attack, she's been hurting every five seconds. But Numbah Five told her she was going to be okay. Despite what she had told her, Numbah Three still worries about her friend's safety. Hoping to find shelter, Numbah Five crushed branches and kicked logs that were in the way. Numbah Three was again worried why she is acting like this. She tries to find shelter, but not with a rage! Numbah Three thought it was because of the scratches and bite marks that got her a little cranky.

"Numbah Five? If something is hurting you, well, you can tell me, right?" she asked.

"Yeah." Numbah Five replied.

"Are you sure? Because I thought after the attack you-"
"Look I'm Fine! Alright?" Numbah Five loudly said to her friend.

"...Well you don't have to scream!"
"I can't help it! These scars and claw marks are hurting me. It's like they're forcin' me to say these things."

"Do you think that those animals are making you say this?"

"That's impossible. There is no way an inferior creature could do such-"

But Numbah Five was interrupted by a stinging pain in her head. It was even harder than a migrane! Then she had a strong pain in her stomach. She couldn't take it. She fell to the ground, laying helpless without any movements. Numbah Three's fear was back again.

"Numbah Five! What's wrong?"

Numbah Five tried to reply to her friend's question, but something made her stop speaking. Something was wrong... terribly wrong.

Numbah One, Numbah Two, and Numbah Four were on their way to the ocean hoping to spot the island. A few minutes later, they all saw a green and tan island in the middle of the ocean. Hoping to see the girls at the shore, Numbah Two lowered the machine on the ground. Numbah One and Numbah Four got out with their other best weapons and stood on the wet shore of the island. Numbah Four told Numbah Two that he and Numbah One were going to search for the girls alone. Numbah Two wasn't really sure about this, but the other two boys said they were going to be fine.

"Are you guys sure you want to do this alone? 'Cause you remember what the Delightful Children said about-"

"We don't care what they said. They're just trying to scare us." Numbah One told Numbah Two.

"Yeah. Now what are we standing here for? Let's go Numbah One." Numbah Four said.

"Okay... if you guys are sure about this-"

"We're positive, Numbah Two. We know what we're doing." Numbah One explained again.

"Besides, we can hear danger a mile-"

But as Numbah Four was going to say his next word, he heard a girl's voice scream from the island.

"Numbah Five!" the voice screamed.

It was Numbah Three's voice! The three boys heard the scream loud and clear. Numbah Four knew it sounded serious. He knows Numbah Three's tone of voice anywhere.

"Numbah Three!" he screamed out.

Numbah Four rushed into the forest with the weapon in his hand. Numbah One was quite astonished with the scream. So he also ran into the forest to search for his friends. Numbah Two could have no other choice but to wait. But he was still afraid that his friends would be killed... somehow.
