When the curly-haired boy was saying all this, Adrein kept shifting his gaze around . it looks like as if he was searching for something, but perhaps he couldn't find it anywhere.
With a hint of frustration, he finally raised his voice a little and said, "Where are Roxana, Cassian, and Vale?"The others, who until then had been absorbed in their own matters, also realized that the three of them hadn't been there for quite some time.
Liam turned his neck from side to side, lifting his eyes as he spoke, "I haven't seen them for quite a while! They were right here just a moment ago!"
Thursday could hear Liam's words reaching her ears, yet she didn't seem to be paying much attention to them. Suddenly, her face lit up with a burst of radiance it look like she had just discovered a solution for a difficult problem .
With a sparkle in her eyes and a twist of her lips, she said, "Why don't we just call them and ask where they are? The three of them do have phones, don't they?"
Mave rolled her golden eyes and replied, "Do you really think there's something like a network here?"
"Why not? cat eyes exclaimed , It's possible there are people living a little distance away from us," she suggested."
I've never heard of or seen trees like these anywhere before. This place is truly strange!" "And you think we've gotten stuck in a little forest full of some animal species?"
Keave said, a hint of criticism in his voice, but there was also a tremor of unease now, as if worry were slowly tightening its grip on him.
Drace — who had been as calm and still as water until now — let that stillness ripple into motion. In a low, steady voice, his face betraying no panic, he said, "If you've forgotten, should I tell you all again? We can't call anyone. Forget the network — we left our phones in the car. We only brought one camera with us."
Everyone's faces had tightened, marked with faint traces of fear, unrest, and worry.On Keave's face, the emotions stood out sharply; his long fingers curled into a fist of their own accord. His eyes widened, and staring straight ahead, he declared, "We mustn't waste any more time—we have to find the three of them as quickly as possible."
Then something happened that no one could have imagined!
From the depths of the sharp, strange trees came a sound. Amid the eerie, pointed branches, a bizarre noise echoed—like… like someone was screaming.
