21 POV:

It is night in the jungle and me and Nineteen go back to our campsite.
.....
Yes, we have a campsite. Got any problem?
I also wonder if the others found Twenty. The last thing I heard from them was that they had to find Twenty. Me and Nineteen are also looking for him, but we keep losing hope. I don't want to lose hope!

Me: I WANT TO FIND TWEN-

I shut my mouth before Nineteen realizes that I'm acting weird.

Nineteen: What in the world of Numberland was that?

Me: I-it's nothing.

Nineteen: I heard you, okay? You don't have to hide it.

Me: It's.. um.. not what you think it is..

Nineteen: Come on, Twenty-One! You've been acting weird since you knew that Twenty is gone. What's up with him?

I bite my lip, knowing that Nineteen is suspicious of the way I act when Twenty isn't around. And by around, I mean everyone knows where he is. Not lost in the Jungle.

Me: Y-you don't have to worry about that. I'm always weird.

Nineteen: Heheh, well, just don't turn into a jungle animal.

Me: Yeah. Good night, Nineteen.

I put out the fire as we get in our tents and go to sleep.
.....
I closed my eyes, but I couldn't sleep. Suddenly, I saw a shadow outside my tent. It looked like a familiar Numberblock. Then, I heard whispers. Am I sleeping?! I-is this a nightmare?! I go out of my tent and no one is there. I go inside my tent, zip it up and cover myself with a blanket. I've had enough of this night.

26 POV:
It was 11:50 PM and Fifteen was closing M.I.15. I always liked her attitude towards everyone. She's always quiet and she's always chill with everything. Besides, she is the one who figured me out. But, I always notice that clumsy Numberblock near her. I know I'm made of two of him, but still. He's always stuck to her like a golden retriever with their owner. Fifteen calls us and we follow her. We go up the elevator and we follow her until we reach the jungle. Why the frick are we here?

Fifteen: Listen, you two! Twenty-One has contacted me and reported about suspicious events in the jungle. We're gonna make sure that everything is safe.

Thirteen: What are these.. "suspicious events"?

Fifteen: She said that she heard some sort of whispers and saw some shadows.

Thirteen: Oh... um.. okay.

I know that Thirteen is scared of unknown creatures. That's why he's so nervous.

Fifteen: It's okay, Agent Thirteeee... Ten and Three. We'll all be there for each other.

Thirteen: Oh...

We go into the jungle and we find the campsite. We search all around it, making sure that no sound is made. I heard crunching leaves, a gasp and footsteps. I turned around to find Thirteen and Fifteen were gone!

Me: What the hell? Where did they go? Fifteen? Ten and Three?

I look around for a while, but couldn't find them at all! It's like... they vanished away! I see Nineteen come out of her tent. She rubs her eyes and walks up to me.

Nineteen: What in the world of Numberland are you doing here at such a late time?

Me: Well, you see.. Twenty-One called us here, and-

Nineteen: Who's the us?

Me: Let me finish.. Me, Fifteen and Ten and Three came here because Twenty-One reported strange noises and shadows. We wanted to investigate, just in case. And... Fifteen and Ten and Three just disappeared. I looked for them everywhere, but I can't find them.

Nineteen: Twenty-One has been acting strange so lately. Expect anything from her. She's just being a weirdo.

Me: You can't just say that.

Nineteen: Why not?

Me: Because those shadows and whispers explain how Fifteen and Ten and Three are gone!

Twenty-One comes out of her tent.

Twenty-One: What's going on? Uh... Twenty-Six?

Me: *sigh* Me, Fifteen and Ten and Three were here. Now, they are missing!

Twenty-One: What happened to them?

Me: I just said.. they're missing..

Twenty-One: How?

Me: The definition of missing is when someone or something is lost and the one who reports, apparently does not know how, where and when it happened.

They both stare at me as if it's the first time they see me.

Nineteen: Right..

Twenty-One: How do we find them again?

Me: The last thing I heard was footsteps running away from the site. Maybe someone block-napped them? That's the only thing that I can think of.

Twenty-One: Well, we have to find them!

Nineteen: Yeah, but.. Don't you think it's too late now? It's literally 1:30 AM.

Twenty-One: I know, but we still HAVE to find them!

Nineteen: Why can't you wait until morning?

Twenty-One: BECAUSE IT'S MY WISH!

Me: Goodness gracious, Twenty-One. You're being weird.

Nineteen: What did I tell ya?

Twenty-One: I'm not being weird.

Nineteen: Yes, you are.

Twenty-One: I JUST WANNA FIND THEM! 😭

Twenty-One was literally acting like a kid. First, she started throwing a tantrum, and now, she's sitting on the floor, crying her heart out.

Nineteen: What has gotten into her?

Me: I'm supposed to ask the same.

Nineteen: Do you think we should go?

Me: If we want her to stop cryin' like a baby, why not?

Twenty-One: We can go?

Me: Uh..... Sure!

Nineteen: If this wasn't the worst time in the world.

Twenty-One goes in her tent and gets her bag.

Twenty-One: LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Nineteen: Here we go again.

Me: I just hope she doesn't behave like a kid. The jungle isn't safe, you know.

Nineteen: Agreed.

Twenty-One holds my hand and Nineteen's hand and starts running into the jungle, as we follow her into the unknown.
