14 POV:

Me and Twenty-One go into the den and Twenty-One turns on her flashlight. We search all around the den.

Twenty-One: Anything?

Me: No...

Twenty-One: What if she's not here?

Me: Where will she be? We searched in all possible places!

Twenty-One: She could've possibly jumped after we left.

Me: You've got a point.

Twenty-One: I'll go and check!

Twenty-One hands me the flashlight and leaves as I continue to search.
After a tiring 30 minutes, I lean against the den wall and sit down. I put my hands on the ground and I feel something. I pick it up and I see it was Twelve's array display band!
It's either that she's here or the bear just took this from her. I must find her!
I look behind all the rocks while calling out her name. The den was not small.
I see a rock wall end with a big hole in it. I step in the hole and it was much darker there. I call out for Twelve as my voice echoes through the whole den.
I hear a breaking twig and I run towards the sound. I reach the end of the long hallway, but I don't find anything.
I shout out loud, in case that was actually a sign from Twelve.

Me: TWELVE! IF THAT'S REALLY YOU, PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER SOUND SO I CAN FIND YOU!

I listen for a while, and I hear another twig breaking. Now I definitely know that it's Twelve! I run towards the sound again and I notice that the sound is coming through the wall.

Me: Wait... What? I don't understand. Are you behind this wall?

I put my head against the wall but I don't hear any voice. I only hear a stone that was thrown onto the wall. Okay, this is weird.
How shall I go in? How did she get in?
I feel the walls and I finally find a tiny hole.
What?! How did- Oh, nevermind. I'll just make the hole bigger. I take a piece of something, which I found on the floor, and start breaking the rocky wall. Finally, it gives way, and I go inside.

Me: Twelve? Are you here?

I turn on my flashlight and point it everywhere until I find a light reflecting back. It was Twelve's Numberlings! I climb up the big rock she was behind and climb down.

Me: Twelve! I finally found yo- OH MY BLOCKS! ARE YOU OKAY?!

Her eyes were scratched, one of her legs were stuck under the big stone she was behind, her arms were slightly bleeding, and there was a piece of glass which was stabbed into her other leg. I couldn't believe my eyes. Her voice was so cracky when she spoke to me.

Twelve: Please... Help me..

Me: I will! I will!

Twenty-One came out of nowhere, again, and saw me.

Twenty-One: Hey, you found her!

Me: I need you up here, Twenty-One! Hurry!

Twenty-One: Okay! *climbs the rock* Oh my goodness... This is horrible!

Me: Come on and help me push the stone over!

Twenty-One: Will do.

We push the stone with all of our strength and it finally falls down.

Me: It's okay, Twelve. We'll take you to safety, okay?

She nods her head.
I carry her in my arms as we run out of the den. We go to Twenty-One's campsite and I put Twelve down on a carpet.

Twenty-One takes her bag off and brings out a medical kit and opens it. She takes out some kind of swab and cleans her hand from the blood. She takes out tweezers and slowly removes the piece of glass. Twelve starts screaming. I can feel her pain. I sit closer to her and hug her.
Twenty-One finally removes the entire piece and throws it in a tiny trash can. She cleans off the place and bandages it. She give me an ice pack to help Twelve's eyes. I hesitatingly put the ice pack on her left eye, and she moved backwards.

Me: Come on, Twelve. We're trying to help you!

She shakes her head from disagreement.

Me: Don't you want to go home?

She nods.

Me: Do you want others to see you like this?

She shakes her head.

Me: Don't you want to feel better again?

She nods.

Me: So?

Twelve: O-okay...

She hesitatingly came forward as I put the ice pack on her eye again. I know it's very cold, but it's only for a while.

12 POV:

Fourteen was putting the ice pack on my eye. I was shivering from the inside, but I didn't really show it on the outside. I just closed my eyes, tried to stay calm and wait. Just wait.

Fourteen: Hey, Twelve? Um.. I think you lost this.

He gives me my array display band.

Me: Th-thank you, F-Fourteen.

He puts it back on my hand. I hold back his hand, in which he was holding the ice pack, and look at him in his eyes.

Me: I don't need any healing or medicine, Fourteen. According to me, love is the best cure.

I do something to him, which I don't want to say, because Eloisa is too-

Me: I AM NOT LAZY! THE BOOK IS ALREADY ON MATUREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Okay, Cheese Louise. You understand what I did to him. I stand back a few centimeters.

Me: I always loved you, Fourteen.

Fourteen: Uh...

Twenty-One: Awwwwwwww!! You two are so cute together!

Fourteen: I.. uh...

Me: Anything wrong?

Fourteen: No.. I just wanted to say that.. I always loved you too.

I smiled as I hugged him.

Twenty-One: Now, shall I take you both back home?

Fourteen: That would be great, Twenty-One!

Twenty-One leads the way as me and Fourteen hold hands and walk behind her.
After no more than 15 minutes, we reach back home.

Me: Thank you so much, Twenty-One. We appreciate your help.

Twenty-One: No problem, little explorers! I'll see you around! *walks away*

Eighteen comes speeding towards us. He stops in front of us and his pupils shrink to 0.1 millimeter.

Eighteen: Firstly, I KNEW YOU BOTH LIKED EACH OTHER! Secondly, WHERE WERE YOU, TWELVE?! I WAS SO WORRIED! AND WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR EYES?!

Me: Well, I guess you're not always wrong, Eighteen. We do like each other.

Fourteen: No, we love each other!

Me: I'm sorry for leaving like that... I was just lost... Lost in my world..

Eighteen: Your eyes?

Me: I was scratched by a bear..

Eighteen: 👁️-👁️

Eighteen zooms off and comes back with a bucket. He pours the bucket of ice cold water on me.

Me: *gasp* Eighteen! What was that for?

Eighteen: I didn't spill on you any water earlier, so I did it now. •ω•

Fourteen: *laughs*

I smile and nod my head as Fourteen falls on the floor from laughter. I shake the water off my Numberlings and pat Eighteen on his back.

Me: Smooth move, bro.

Eighteen: You said it! You finally said it! You said "bro"! Yayyyyyy!! VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Eighteen said as he zoomed around from happiness.
I giggle at his silly behavior and walk to Fourteen.

Fourteen: Oh goodness! That was so hilarious! 😆

Me: It was, Fourteen. 😄

Fourteen stops laughing as he gets up.

Me: Do you want to go inside?

Fourteen: Alright!

Me: After you.

Before we go inside, Eleven and Twenty-Two come to us.

Eleven: Fourteen! Twelve! Come quick!

Twenty-Two: There's something you should see!

Me and Fourteen look at each other in confusion. We go with them until we reach Ten's house.

Me: Why are we here?

Eleven: *jumping from excitement* Just wait!

Eleven rings the bell and Nine opens the door.

Nine: Woah. So many visitor-

*Big Thud*

Ten: *from a distance* Honey, come quick!

Nine: *to Ten* Alright! I'm coming! *to others* Come in and take a seat!

We all go in and sit on the couches.

Me: *to Eleven* Why are we here again?

Eleven: Can't spoil it! You'll have to wait and see!

Twenty-Two: Just be a little patient!

Fourteen: You're making me too excited!

Nine comes downstairs and comes to us.

Nine: So.. um... Ten will be here shortly. If you have a little patience, it will be worth the wait. 😊

Nine goes back up. We wait for what seems like forever. Shortly, he says. Ten finally comes back down and looks up the stairs as if someone is coming down. It wasn't Nine, since it looked like she was looking at someone shorter and Nine just came down the stairs. Eleven and Twenty-Two started squealing.
Me and Fourteen were laughing at their behavior. Even though Twenty-Two is a boy, he still does it somehow.

Ten: Come down! You can do it! Come on, Laura!

Me: Who's Laura?

Eleven: You'll seeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Fourteen was getting too impatient. I was holding him down the couch.

Finally, we saw a smaller figure of Ten crawling on the floor and coming towards us.

All: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Me: Oh my goodness! She's so cuteeeeee!

Ten: Laura? What do you say?

Laura: Hio!

Fourteen: Oooh Myyyy Goodneeeess!! Too irresistible!!

Ten: This is Laura. She's only 5 months old.

Me: Woah! A 5 month old can crawl and say hi?

Ten: That's all she can do. Other than say mama and dada.

Me: And I thought little babies are too young for these stuff!

Fourteen: HEEEELP MEEEEEEEEEEE!! I'M DYYYIIINNGG OF CUTENESS!

Me: *giggles* You're cute as well, Fourteen.

Fourteen: *blushes*

Ten: I'm sure she'll love you as much when she grows up!

Eleven & Twenty-Two: EEEEEEEEEEE!!

I carry Laura from the ground and she covers my eyes. I don't know what's going on, but I'll let it be.
She babbles some stuff and kisses my head.
She removes her hands from my eyes and I put her down. I was confused. But I just sat down. Fourteen looked at me in shock.

Me: What? Why are you looking at me like that?

Fourteen: You... Your eyes... What...

Me: I take the tiny makeup mirror that I have, don't ask why, and I see that my eyes are not scratched anymore!

Me: How?!

Laura: *laughs* Shhhh! *winks*

Me: I must say that Laura is officially the best baby alive!

We all laugh as we hold each other's hands. I wonder what Eighteen is up to right now...
