The next morning, Neth, VOC and Dutch were up early in the morning just to see the distraction Indonesia has caused once more. Neth was impressed in the inside, seeing how much damage was caused by one woman over night in absolute silence. VOC wanted nothing more than to choke her once he got his hands onto her and Dutch, well...He was absolutely furious and was cursing in Dutch, out loud.

    -"SHE IS GONNA FUCKING PAY." yelled Dutch as he nodded VOC to get his sword.
    -"Nederland you stay here until we return." he added.

Neth nodded and sighed as he saw his brother and father get in the tropical jungle.

    -"Okay, Vader..." he muttered as he just sat at the deck of the ship, doing nothing.

It was a warm morning she had been hiding for hours from them. The colonizers. She was hiding up on a tree, hoping to not be heard or seen.
    -"Where is that little bitch." hissed Dutch as they were looking through the Indonesian jungle.        -"She can't have left the island, can she?" said VOC as he looked through the jungle too, holding a torch.
    -"You can honestly expect anything from her." hissed Dutch.

She knew they were close. She kept the most silent she could. After losing her father because of them she wanted nothing more than just to take revenge for her father's death. They had destroyed her life and now she was enslaved and chased 24/7. She was tired of them.

    -"She will come out soon. She can't hide forever." sighed VOC.

She just wanted to laugh, hearing what they were saying but she kept silent to not blow her cover. They didn't know how capable of hiding she was did they? "Only if they knew that I'm not as weak as they think." she thought to herself as she kept an eye on them and their movements. She decided to throw something at them from far away without a noise.

     -"She is close but where the fuck is she." mumbled VOC as she looked at the rock that was thrown at them.
     -"How can she even hide that well." hissed Dutch.

They continued searching her for hours. At that point the sky had gotten darker and it wasn't easy to find someone.

     -"This is no use, she is hidden too well. Plus it will be easier to find her in the morning."

VOC just simply nodded and followed his father as they walked back at their ship. Once she made sure they were out of sight she jumped down from the tree, landing perfectly and sighing before mumbling.

     -"Dutch fuckers. They should go back to their country." she hissed.

She looked at her hurt, bleeding arm which she injured while hiding on the tree and sighed before going deeper into the jungle, where she had her place and went to bandage herself. There she found Dutch youngest son who of course didn't follow his father's order. He was 5 years younger than her but still towered over her as she stayed blinking for a while.

     -"What the fuck..." she mumbled.

He waved at her silently. She just stayed silent and bandaged her arm before tying her hair up into a ponytail.

     -"What if I actually tell your father I kidnapped you and ask for my freedom..." she said as she looked at Neth silently.
     -"Hey- That is not nice- Also that was actually amazing- How you caused so much damage to the ships overnight-" he admitted.
     -"Kid you are weird- Really weird- You are suppose to hunt me down like your father and brother-" she said as she just stared up to him.
     -"But it's true! It was actually epic-" he said as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
     -"Your hands off me now. Also why are you even here and how did you find my hide out." she said.

He quickly took his hand off her.

     -"Oh- Uh- Well-" he tried explaining.
     -"Well?" she raised an eyebrow.
     -"It wasn't that hidden-" he looked at her a bit confused

He sighed and just handed her a knife.

     -"Keep it. It might turn out to be useful." he whispered in her ear.

She just blinked silently.

     -"Are you helping me kill your father and brother or what-" she blinked in disbelief.

Neth chuckled a bit.

     -"Well not exactly I just don't really like what they are doing- It's wrong." he explained

She chuckled.

     -"I would never believe that coming from a colonizer's child real-" she didn't got to finish her sentence before he shushed her, placing his finger on her lips.
     -"Shhhhh. You're welcome." he said with a smile.
     -"Don't touch me-" she hissed before biting his finger to let go.

He quickly took his hand away from her and sighed.

     -"Ouch- Not nice but sorry- Anyway- I suppose I'll take my leave since that might put you into trouble-" he said before waving her goodbye and leaving, taking a different path so he wouldn't give out her hide out if his father saw him coming back.

She just stared at where he was standing before, blinking.

     -"What the fuck did I just witness-" she said to herself before shaking her head and looking at the knife silently, rethinking what he told her.

She just tucked the knife in her belt and left her hide out and went to hide somewhere in the jungle again. Once Neth was back to the ship he found himself bumping into his older brother.

     -"Oh. Vader was looking for you." he said coldly before as he walked past him as he went to his own ship.

Neth just simply nodded before walking into his cabin and just sat in his bed, reading his book silently as from time to time he looked out of his window to the jungle, hoping she would be okay. Dutch suddenly entered Neth's cabin and stepped in.

     -"Where in the name of god were you." he hissed as he crossed his arms.
     -"In the jungle." he replied back as he closed his book.

Dutch raised an eyebrow.

     -"Why were you in the jungle? What the fuck you didn't understand from the 'Stay here until we are back'? That crazy bitch of a woman could have killed you." he said as he stared at his son, in the eyes sternly.
     -"I was fine, Vader." he said as he stared back at his father.

Dutch just rolled his eyes and walked out of the cabin, slamming the door behind him.

     -"Old man." he mumbled before returning to reading silently. He eventually fell asleep.
