When Katharina strikes the hard ground, she lets forth a quiet growl. Before closing the cage, Vaas sniffs her hair. "Kat," she hears Brad inquire, but Katharina remains silent. She can't do what Brad said, and she can't put on a brave face. Vaas has triumphed... She surrenders. She sobs as she crawls into a corner. She shuts her eyes and rests her face on her folded arms. She closes off the rest of the world...She hears "Chicca" and smiles. "Chicca". She does not answer, hoping he will leave. "Katharina, wake the fuck up," he yells angrily. Katharina raises her head in surprise and gazes into his dark eyes. "Fuck," he growls, opening the cage. He places a bamboo bowl loaded with potatoes and pork on the floor. For a brief while, he waits for her to take the food, but Katharina remains still. She sits obstinately without saying anything. "Come on, Pera, don't tell me you want to be fed like a baby again... Do you think that's something I'm interested in? Hm? "Don't you think I should be doing something else?" He pulls her by her upper arms and looks into her beautiful eyes. There is nothing... Her eyes are devoid of any emotion. All he sees is broken emptiness... For a few periods, his gut tightens and a pinch runs through his heart. What was it? That was something he'd never experienced before... He shakes his head and tosses her to the ground. "Come on," he urges as he squats down next to her. "You require nutrition. You know. Vitamins and garbage. You look like a crap chicca. Katharina lets out a sigh. She gives Vaas a resolute look. "Vaas no," she says. Vaas grinned and grabbed her cheeks. "Vaas yes," he says, pushing the spoon between her teeth. She sighs and grunts as she bites into the flesh. He's not going to give up so easily. So much is obvious. She consumes the meat quietly and returns her gaze to the stone around his neck. "What is that?" she inquires. Vaas has a scowl on his face. "Nothing," he says, continuing, "now eat." "How does it taste?" Unfortunately, Katharina must confess that the dish is delicious. She has no idea how long she has gone without eating actual food. "And the meat good?" She gives him a hesitant glance. Why does he ask this twice? What kind of meat is it? She can't place the taste. "Vaas... what is this?" A playful smile rests on his lips. "Vaas" she repeats. "Just eat" he orders. She hesitantly gaps on the fork he puts into her mouth. Brad gives her a tense look.

"What the hell" she curses and spits out the hard piece she bit on. "What is that? Did you put something in it?" "No, no I didn't he protests. "I don't know." Gently he takes the black item that she spitted out and looks at it. "I.. oh I know what this is" he starts laughing. "It is the bullet that was in your brother's leg!" "Oh my god" whispers Brad. "Asshole" answers Luke. "Oh god" Katharina whispers and spits out all the food from her mouth. "Vaas... what" Her sentence is interrupted by her stomach protesting vehemently. "Hey" Vaas roars and avoids the vomiting girl. "Soon my shoes will be dirty" he curses. "Vaas... what have you done" Katharina hisses and stands up. Tears flow from her eyes. "Vaas you promised!" "I promised not to hurt your brother. Well, I didn't," he laughs. Katharina glares at him. "You got me... you made me eat Tyler !!" "No, I made you eat Tyler's leg" he laughs, amused. Katharina shouts furiously. Her whole body shakes as she thinks about Tyler. "You fucking asshole" she shouts and slaps his chest. "Hey you fucking lunatic" he yells angry. "Calm down!!! Calm the fuck down!!" He grabs her hands and pushes her back against the cage wall. "Asshole" she yells and dodges in each other. Loudly she cries, she doesn't care anymore that everyone can hear her. "Calm down Pera" Vaas orders. "Get away from me" she growls and with a force she didn't know she had she kicks him backward. "Fuck" Vaas roars angrily. Before he can jump back, Brad jumps to the cage wall. "Hey crazy" he shouts and pulls with all his might on Vaas' suspenders. Vaas falls to the ground with a loud thump. "Fuck, fucking stupid" he shouts with rage. Katharina wails as he grabs her. "Pretty boy thinks he's tuff huh" growls Vaas. "Let go of her psycho" orders Luke. Vaas smiles and pushes Katharina to the floor. "What the fuck is this huh? Are you going to work against me? Together? Don't make me fucking kill you" he yells angry and grabs Luke his troth through the cage. "Hey" roars Brad. Katharina looks at the bowl. This is it. Her moment.. The only chance she will ever get. She has to do something. Soft she grabs the bowl and hits the back of Vaas his head. "Asshole" she yells and hits him again and again with the bowl. Brad laughs while Luke applauds. Katharina takes a step backwards and looks at Vaas who falls unconscious on his stomach. Katharina took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a second. "Kat" whispers Brad. She places her trembling hands before her mouth and breaths deeply. "Oh god" she whispers. Then she bends forwards, grabs the keys from his belt and runs out the cage. "Kat run. Nevermind about us" Brad orders. Katharina shakes her head and opens the cage door. "Not without you" she whispers and looks over her shoulder. None of the pirates seem to notice that their leader is out. Yet... Brad laughs and places his arms around her slender body. "Come on" he whispers and crouches. Luke follows his example after hugging Katharina. "Trust him, he is a Navy SEAL" whispers Luke. Katharina nods and crouches down. "Sst" Brad whispers and holds up his hand. He looks carefully behind the corner. Two pirates are arguing about a piece of pork while another sits next to them in silence, cleaning out his gun. Brad swallows. "Okay" he whispers after which he slowly stands up. "He looks to the blue sky and sighs. The sun is slowly disappearing behind the green mountains. "We'll have to make our way to the jungle. Only there we will be able to disappear." Luke nods. "And then," Katharina asks. "I heard about this group, fighters.. They are the Rakyat. Apparently, they'll help anyone who is willing to stand up against Vaas or who is running from him. I think that is our best shot. Until we find a way to go home. " "I would love to go home" Luke sighs. Brad nods. Katharina bites her lip. Home... without Tyler? What is her home. Her brother is dead.. Her father won't be the same. She has no one left. Why did it all go so wrong? "Kat" repeats Brad. Katharina looks up. "You okay" he asks. Katharina nods after which she takes his hand. He helps her up and places his hand on her back. "Come on" he whispers and leads them behind a shack. "How long you think we have before.." Luke his sentence gets interrupted by the shiring sound of a loud alarm. "Damn" curses Brad. "We'll have to run. Run into the jungle" yells Brad and starts running. Her burning leg ignoring Katharina runs as fast as her muscles let her out of the camp. She tries to ignore the mean and loud voices of the pirates, the screaming sounds, the gunshots.. She tries to shut it all out, her eyes focused on Brad and Luke before her. The threesome runs as fast as they can, followed by a group of pirates, who apparently can't shoot very good while running thank god, to the green edge of the camp. Brad laughs happily when the shadow of the trees swallow them. "Come on" he yells and pushes Luke forward. "We are almost rid of them" he yells and dodges for an arrow. 

"Ahh," Katharina growls as she sinks through her leg. "Kat!" exclaims Luke. Katharina examines her crimson skin and rests her palm on her leaping leg. She is incapable of running any longer. "Brad, just go," she says. He growls, "No, not without you." As Luke and Brad wait for Katharina, the sounds of angry pirates grow louder. "I'll go hide." "I'll make it, but please let me go," Katharina begs. Brad whines, "Kat." Luke slaps his chest and whispers, "Brad." "We can't come back for her when we're dead," he says quietly. "Come on," Luke says as he takes a step back. Brad grunts and dodges the shots. "I promise I'll come back for you," Brad says as he kisses her. Katharina smiles valiantly while fighting back tears. She had a chance, but she squandered it. It's not fair for Brad and Luke to stay behind just because she can't. In the end... maybe it was best for her to just die... perish in the same jungle Tyler died in. Sighing, she glances at Brad and Luke, who have vanished into the dense jungle. She turns around and creeps silently between the green branches and bushes. She requires a place to blend in. A safe haven. This will be difficult with a dark blue gown. 
While Katharina attempts to crawl as quietly as possible amid the dense jungle foliage, she searches the growing darkness for a safe haven from Vaas' pirates. She raises her hand, wailing, as a piercing pain pierces her palm. A thorn branch had pierced her skin. Her palm is adorned with a pearl-red stripe. She sighs as she crawls to the trunk of a large palm tree and leans against it. How in the world did she wind herself here? Her heart is racing when she hears pirates passing by. The hunt has clearly only just begun. She gently places her palm over her lips, hoping they won't notice.

"Hey" comes from above her. A pirate looks her in the eyes. "I found her," he cries, grabbing her arm. "No!" she yells. "Let go of me," she screams, pushing him away from her. "Don't you think you'll be able to escape, Puta?" growl the pirate as he tightens his grip on her. "No!" she yells. She quickly snatches his knife and, with a rush of adrenaline, inserts it into his neck. "Argh," he cries, collapsing. "Oh my god," she says as she takes a step back. "I'm so sorry," she says quietly. Her eyes well up with tears. That's what she did... She did that?!?! She turns around, crying, and flees deeper into the jungle. A couple of pirates rush after her. "No!" she screams. She scratches the hand that is holding her open. She dashes through the foliage, not knowing where she is headed. While she looks back, a leaf cuts a thin stripe on her jaw.  

"Ah," she grunts, sinking through her bouncing leg once again. Her heart is racing. She rolls onto her back to regain her breath. "No," she says quietly. Her head bobs, as the branches in front of her eyes spin in circles. Her head feels as if it's floating away, and her vision becomes fuzzy. "Tsk tsk tsk Chicca," he muffles. His voice seems disturbed as if it's underwater. Before everything goes black, she sees Vaas bending over her.
