Chapter 19

*Liam*

I go to look for Twyla and find her in a huge tree in the center of camp.

I go and start climbing. When I get to the top, I see Twyla looking at a map in frustration.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

She is surprised by me sneaking up on her. "Don't do that!" she quietly yells at me and sighs.

"Sorry, but what are you doing that's getting you so upset?" I say, shrugging.

She shakes her head and nods towards the map.

"That's my problem. I know we won't have enough time to hike ten days and I don't think we can exactly fly there!"

I nod and think for a second.

"We could get some horses," I tell her.

Twyla considers this and says, "We don't have the money for ten horses and even if we go two to a horse, we don't have enough for five!"

"We could always steal them," I reply, shrugging again.

"Hmm...... think we could pull something like that off?" she asks.

I was surprised that she didn't immediately reject the idea of stealing.

"I think we could, we would just need to find the right person to steal from," I say, trying to think of the right person.

"Ok, you and I will plan it!" she says and asks me, "Did you come up for anything else besides suggesting we turn into the forty thieves?"

I chuckled and said, "I kinda need a bedroll or blanket or something."

"Oh! Here," Twyla says, blushing a little and trying to turn before I see but fails.

"I could, you know, stay up with you to plan this thing out since I did bring it up," I tell her, smiling because of her blush.

"Sure, it would help," she answers, excitingly nodding her head.

"All right then," I say sitting besides her, "where do we start?"

With that, we begin the long work ahead of us for the night.
