    You should've been at the docks, fetching water and going back to Stella's house. Your captain and the other members were glad that Stella was kind enough to let you five into her cottage. But when you were heading towards the docks, you saw a random man walking into a hidden opening, you followed him, curiosity and knowing that the man was planning something.

    You then found out that Maribel and her father, that she said was dead, were evil and wanted Comino to themselves so they could obtain the gold ship. Well, you only saw her father, so you instantly knew that she was just lying to all of you, to Piet, Stien, Berend, Steven, Stella and you. You didn't know that the woman was just a feet away from you, watching you.

    After you saw enough, you left the secret place, wanting to warn the others. Quickly, yet carefully walking through the place so you wouldn't alert the man.


    Walking out of the hidden entrance, you tried to look for one of your friends. Eventually seeing Piet, his head hanging low, but a certain distance away from you. If you would yell, he wouldn't quite hear you, quickly heading towards him. Walking down the wooden stairs, you were almost at the cottage that Piet entered.

    But fate, or just the trap that someone set for you, had other plans for you. You didn't even notice it, tripping over a rock and you got caught in a net before it lifted you up in the air. You were trapped, tugging against the ropes, but it didn't budge.

    "Wow, I was trying to catch a kitchen, not a handmaiden," Mirabel's voice was tainted in that light and sweet tone of hers she had always put on, walking into your sight, tilting her head up to look at your trapped figure. Ofcourse, she was trapping you, there was just one chicken on this island, but Berend wouldn't let it out of it's sight.

    You stopped tugging, looking down at the woman, "I've got a tip for you, place a trap where I won't fall in," you defended yourself, yet you were also trying to keep a facade on, like you didn't know that she was evil.

    "Do you need help? I can always cut this rope down, but I don't want to hurt Piet's handmaiden."

    "No no, I can handle it, I'm not that helpless," you instantly answered her, grabbing a pocket knife and cutting the net, succeeding and you could cut it in a way that you could sit on it and swing your legs, yet you needed to grab the rest of the net to support your weight as to not fall, "And isn't this trap way too big for a chicken?" You asked, tilting your head to the side, pocketing the knife back in your belt.

    Maribel stood there for a few moments, her face hardening before it softened back again to her fake smiling face, "I didn't know that handmaidens could carry such dangerous things on them. Wouldn't your captain be a little worried? You really look like you need help," She completely ignored you question, but she was kind enough to lower the net, so you wouldn't suffer big damage if you would fall.
