CHAPTER 11

After their talk, Numbah One and Numbah Five figured out their plan to fight Theron in his tracks. Before the two could know it, Numbah Four and Numbah Three went back to the rock and pretended that nothing happened. Then Numbah One and Numbah Five walked back down the rock to see if Numbah Four and Numbah Three were awake. The two kids pretended that they were just about to get up.

"... Were where you?" Numbah Four said in a sleepy way.

"Oh... just discussing stuff." Numbah Five replied as she winked at Numbah One.
"Yeah... discussing something powerful." Numbah One said and winked back at Numbah Five.

"Well what were you discussing?" Numbah Three asked.
"... How to stop the cougar in its tracks." Numbah Five said.
"Oh, you mean Theron!" Numbah Three exclaimed unconsiously.
"Numbah Three!" Numbah Four yelled.
"How did you know that the cougar's name was Theron?" Numbah One asked.

"Uh... uhh... we kinda heard you talking about fighting back?" Numbah Four said innocently.

"You spied on us!" Numbah Five exclaimed.
"No! We just uh..-" Numbah Four started.
"Nevermind. We need to focus of how to stop Theron once and for all. Okay, here's what we're gonna do..." Numbah One began.

Theron started walking his way to search for the kids. He had already killed Maverick. Now he was going to kill the one that he bit and attacked. He followed the scent of every fiber of their being. So far, the cougar found nothing. He wanted to give up, but he wanted the kids to be destroyed permanately. Just as he was about to turn back, he heard someone yell.

"Hey Theron!"

It was Numbah Five. Theron was ready now to attack the African-American girl. He growled a little and started charging at her. Numbah Five started to run to where her friends were. The cougar didn't know what she was up to, but he didn't care. Numbah Five started zig-zaging in far paths that she followed. Then she started to slow down. Then she stopped. She turned to see the cougar still running towards her.

"Come on, you mangy runt!" she yelled.

Now Theron was really outraged. So he started to run a little faster. Numbah Five was ready for him. A few seconds later...

"NOW!" she screamed.

Then a long piece of vine came a few inches from Theron's paws and tripped him. Numbah Four and Numbah Three pulled the string from different directions to try to trip him. Theron fell flat on his furry face. After his fall, he heard Numbah One say,

"Numbah Five, catch!"

He threw Numbah Five the end of another long piece of vine. Together, they both put the vine around Theron's neck and pulled. Theron started gagging. Then Numbah Four appeared with a long tree branch he found and started wacking Theron on the face. While they were beating Theron, Numbah Five yelled,

"Okay Numbah Three, your try!"

Then Numbah Three pulled up two rope from on top of a tree branch and caught Theron in her net. Theron was too weak he could barely breathe or open his eyes.

"Who wants to play pinata?" Numbah Four exclaimed.
"Not now, we've gotta leave while we still can. We might loose our energy beating him up. Let's go!" Numbah Five yelled.

Numbah Three jumped off the tree and ran off with her other three friends. While they were running, Numbah Five said to Numbah One,

"Nice plan, Numbah One. That really worked!"
"Thanks. You were brave at luring him to our trap."
"Thanks."

But Theron awoke too soon. But this time, in a bad anger than before. He started ripping the net with all his might, pratically scratching himself trying to get out. Then he fell down on the ground. With fire in his eyes, he started running towards the kids. Numbah Three thought that she heard roaring from behind. She looked behind and saw Theron speeding up at them!

"Guys, he's coming back!" she screamed.
"Oh, now what are we gonna do?" Numbah Four cried.
"... Guys, run towards the shore! I've got an idea!" Numbah Five yelled.
"What are you doing?" Numbah One asked.

Then Numbah Five turned back to where the cliff was. Theron started following her.

"Come on ya furball!" she yelled.

Theron charged towards her like he did before. Numbah Five was a little scared to do this, but she knew what she was doing. The rest of her friends saw what she was doing. They thought, 'What is she doing this time?'

"Numbah Five!" Numbah One yelled.

Then she disappeared.
