Numberblocks Together [ON HOLD]

Part 5: Bear The Trouble

12 POV:

I sit on the edge of a rocky cliff and throw some stones off it. Maybe my brother is right. I do like Fourteen. But I just never told him. Maybe I should tell him.. but it won't be any use. He already likes Eleven. Why should I bother myself? Maybe I should find someone else or stay alone for the rest of my life.
I don't understand why I like him.
Eleven deserves him more.
They both play sports.
I'm the total opposite of him.
I should forget about being with Fourteen.
I can find someone else who's more like me... Hopefully..
I hear a noise and I look around but I can't find anything or anyone.

Me: If anyone is here, just go away. There's no point in coming to see me. Go back home. I don't need anyone. I'm not so interesting.

Fourteen: Says who?

Me: *gasp* Fourteen?! Where did you come from?

Fourteen: I was looking for you..

Me: Why? You don't need to see me... *turns around*

Fourteen: *sigh* Listen. Whatever you heard back there, was a big misunderstanding. It's not what it sounds like.

Me: How can I believe you?

Fourteen: Eleven likes Twenty-Two!

Me: Eleven likes Twenty-Two... But you like Eleven.

Fourteen: Ah, no! It's not like that!

Me: How is it, then?

Fourteen: How about we go to a safer place and talk about this?

Me: I don't want to talk about it. I don't need to.

Fourteen: Come on, Twelve. Your brother might be worried about you! You were gone for a long time! He might come looking for you himself!

Me: He won't. He's too busy.

Fourteen: Busy? Oh, just forget it! Let's just go back, Twelve! I'm sure there's a good explanation to everything.

Me: Go away, Fourteen. I said I don't want to talk about it.

Fourteen: I'll explain everything to you! Let's just hurry and go back before we become dead and no one can explain to anyone.

Me: No.

Fourteen: Please?

Me: Shhhh!

Fourteen: Wha-

I cover Fourteen's mouth. I walk around, making sure that I hadn't heard any animal sounds. I suddenly see a bear and I run to Fourteen and knock him over.

Fourteen: What in the world of Numberland was that for?

Me: Close your eyes!

Fourteen: What?

Me: A bear is coming! Hurry and do it!

Fourteen: O-okay.

We both close our eyes as the bear approached us. I was trying my best not to breath. Fourteen could do it easily, since he's daring. I couldn't hold my breath anymore. I didn't want the bear to get me either. I feel something touching my hand. I open my eyes small enough for the bear not to suspect me, and I see Fourteen holding my hand.
I try not to blush. The bear was sniffing me, and his fur was tickling me. I literally couldn't hold it any longer. I let go of my breath slowly, and slowly open my eyes, as the bear stared at me.
I slowly reach for a stone and hurt it's leg, which made him growl from pain and look away for a while. I quickly push Fourteen off the cliff. I hope he's okay..
I was about to jump off the cliff, but I trip on a rock, which makes me fall on the edge of the cliff. My leg was hurt, alright. I try to stand up, so I can at least save myself with my rays, but that was nearly impossible.
The bear runs towards me and I close my eyes and just hope I don't end up dead..

14 POV:

After Twelve pushed me, I landed in a bush. I was a little scratched, but I was fine. Why did she do that? Did she jump too? If yes, where is she? What if she didn't jump?!

Me: I-is anyone here? Twelve?

Twenty-One appears out of nowhere.

Twenty-One: Hello Fourteen! What are you doing here?

Fourteen: I'm glad I found you, Twenty-One.

I explain the whole thing to Twenty-One.

Twenty-One: Hm... There's a 27% chance she's alive and a 72% chance she's dead.

Fourteen: What about the other 1%?

Twenty-One: The other 1%, is that I have no idea.

Fourteen: Okay..

Twenty-One: If she's alive, we can't leave her. Let's go get her. Where was it again?

Fourteen: Up that cliff. *points upwards*

Twenty-One: Okay, let's go!

Fourteen: Me and Twenty-One start climbing the cliff mountain. On our way, we see from a distance the same bear I saw earlier. I widen my eyes and freeze in my place to the thought of how Twelve was with the bear earlier.
Did she manage to escape?
Did the bear get her?
I can't stop asking!
Twenty-One shook me out of it.

Twenty-One: Hey! You coming or not? What's wrong?

Me: Oh, um... See the bear over there?

Twenty-One: Yes?

Me: That's the bear we saw earlier.

Twenty-One: Oh no...

I'm sure Twenty-One has the same questions that I have right now. We start running to the top. We finally reach the top and go to the place where I was pushed.

Me: She's not here!

Twenty-One: Let's keep looking!

Me: Okay!

We look everywhere. Behind the big rocks, around the edges of a cliff, anywhere you could think of that was near the cliff.

Twenty-One: Any luck?

Me: Not at all. You?

Twenty-One: No.

Having five lucky Sevens isn't helping at all.

Me: Where do you think she is?

Twenty-One: I don't know, Fourteen. I don't know.

From the place where me and Twenty-One saw the bear earlier, we hear a very loud growl, which sounded more like a roar of a bear. Me and Twenty-One look at each other with terrified expressions.
We head to the part of the mountain where the bear's den was there. We look down the mountain and we see the bear walking away from the mountain. I've got a bad feeling about this...
