Twist crawled into her tent, deciding to pack her bags and leave the campout for a while. She decided to leave when everyone was sleeping. Not to disturb the others and slip out with no attention towards her. Once she finished packing what she needed, she hid her bag under her camp mattress, hoping no one would find it.

She went came from out of her tent to hang out with her friends for a while. Trying her best not to look suspicious. Luckily, she's very good at hiding her true emotions. So they suspected nothing. She acted pretty normal throughout the day. When dusk started to rise, she watched banditos prepare fires.

'They will all fall asleep within a span of 3 hours.' She analyzed as she looked around the campout.

Soon enough, the fires died down and so were the banditos' amounts of energy. Twist was right. 2 hours and everyone was passed out. She went into her tent and grabbed the bag hidden under the mattress. She put on the warmest coat she had, it was like Tyler's camo army jacket, but her own. She put on that and a beanie, along with a bandana. She decided to pack her Swiss Army knife, just in case. Once she checked that everything was there, she was off. Slowly and quietly leaving the camp and out into the woods. When she thought she was far enough, she started to walk normally. Twist didn't quite know where she was exactly going but all she knew was that this was better off.

'Everyone would be happier this way...they never really needed me anyway..' she negatively thought to herself as she moved through the trees.

Walking for 5 hours, taking small break in between, she eventually grew tired. She decided to take another small break but that eventually turned into a deep sleep.

The next morning..

Twist woke up, her eyes squinting at the bright sunlight hitting her eyes. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and continued forward. Taking in the scenes she witnessed as she traveled. Farther and farther from home. Farther and farther from her friends, who were worried sick when they found out she was gone.

"Twist is missing?!" Dizzy said, worried.

"Yeah. Poof! Gone!" Tom exclaimed as he did jazz hands, with the same worried expression.

"She's not in her tent?"

"No!"

"Did we lose twist?!" Tyler yelled.

"Yeah Ty."

Tyler decided to check the spot where he caught her singing. No Twist. He ran back, with a mixture of a worried and sad look on his face.

"S-SHES WHAT?!" Oliver yelled. Grabbing Yangles shoulders shaking him back and forth.

"Gone." He replied, feeling nauseous from the sudden shaking.

Oliver became the most worried out of everyone at camp. He searched frantically for her. Checking every tent anywhere close to the campout.

"You think she went in the woods?" Andie questioned as she pointed to the trees that were ever so crowded together.

Oliver already had packed a bag in the span of 5 minutes, stuffing clothes and snacks, along with plenty of water. This isn't the first time he's gone looking for her. He walked towards the woods and a group of banditos followed. He turned around.

"Uh...what are all of you doing?" He said, nervously chuckling.

"You think your the only one who cares about her?" Ruby pointed.

"Well no but-"

"But nothing. Now move along boy before I make you." She threatened playfully.

He rolled his eyes and moved forward, leading Twists friends to go on a search hunt for her.

'We'll find you Twist..I promise..' he thought to himself as he looked around, trying to find a sign of Twist.
