As Twist moved forward, little did she know she was being watched, followed. Liat was very good at sneaking around, not to be seen. She looked down onto Twist from the trees. Watching her every move, Seeing as to where she was going. Guess you could say that she was silent in the trees. But she observed Twist and wrote down her observations in a journal. Twist fell asleep once again, Liat decided it was the perfect time to contact her father. She didn't want to talk to Nico because he is an asshole anyway. So she contacted him with her mind. It's only something that a human with Bishop blood could do. She took a deep breath and channeled her mind to contact Lisden. She silently waited until she got a connection.
'Hey dad. I found Twist.'
'And you didn't tell Nico because?'
'Because he's an asshole for fucks sake.'
'Hey! Watch your tone! But your totally right. He is a dick. I drew a dick on his forehead with the black ink on my hands, he still hasn't found out.' Lisden chuckled, thinking about his prank.
She too laughed at her dads little story. 'Good one dad'
'But where is she?'
'She is in the forest by herself and she is south from the campout. About 30 miles south from what I can tell.' She said, rubbing her chin.
'Okay I'll let that dickwad know. I'll see you later booger.'
'I'm not a-'
Her dad already hung up before she could finish her sentence. She rolled her eyes and sighed.
"That dork."
She then decided to take a nap herself. She laid herself on a set of three branches and drifted to sleep.
Meanwhile...
The banditos continued forward. Oliver, being in the lead, found some objects that twist left by accident as she took her breaks. Some of the objects were; Oreo packets, empty marshmallow bags, an empty water bottle, and what seemed to be a necklace that was more of a string with a ring on it.
He collected the things and put the necklace in his pocket.
'Where could she be going?' He thought to himself.
"I'm tiredddd" Lily groaned.
"Me too!" Wormy said, putting her hands on her hips.
"Yeah. Twist is gone but can't we just take a break or something? She might be dead and we are just looking for the corpse." Tom exclaimed.
"Exactly! Thank you Tom!" Yangle agreed.
This made Oliver stop. He turned around to face the complaining banditos.
"Stay here if you have such a problem then. I am not going to rest until I find Twist and know she is safe. Don't you ever give up on her. I know she isn't dead. Do you understand me?" He said defensively.
"Okay okay we get it. You love her." Synne rolled her eyes.
"I-" He was going to object but he knew she was right.
He cared about Twist and felt something he hasn't felt in a long time when he is around her. Yes, he's a little harsh but it's only because he is scared of breaking down. He was always supposed to be the one to stay strong. So he closed off his true emotions for no one to see.
"Whatever. Let's just keep moving." Oliver started to march again.
Even though the banditos were complaining just a minute ago, they still continued and followed Oliver. They too cared about Twist, but not as much as Oliver did, and that's for sure.
