p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"After pulling themselves together, Sam and Mike enter the house, shaken. Wolf had scared them when he crept up on them; they brought in the supplies. They walk to the kitchen, where Victoria, the head maid, talks to the girls. "Okay, we need to make sure she stays healthy. Adolpha will need plenty to eat." Mike and Sam set the supplies down, "We got everything you asked for." Victoria looks at them./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike didn't like how she was staring at them; he made an awkward look. Victoria asked them to follow her; they headed to the living room. "Whatever it is, we didn't do it," Mike says. Sam agrees, "We are innocent." Victoria told them to quiet down./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"She stared at them again. Mike and Sam get nervous. "What I am going to tell you will shock you. This puts everyone at risk of death." Mike and Sam look at each other. Victoria breathes deeply. "Mike, Sam, Adolpha is pregnant." It took a second; Sam became excited, "WOW, wonderful." Mike has a look of despair./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Isn't it a joyous celebration, Mike; why the long face?" Mike looks at Sam and smacks him on the head, "You idiot, this is bad." "Why did you hit me?" Mike explains the trouble the two will be in. Sam becomes frightened, "What are we going to do, Mike?" "I don't know; if the girl is pregnant and Captain Harris finds out…" "What did you say," Victoria asks, shocked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike laughs awkwardly, "A messenger delivered a letter to us; it said that Captain Harris would be coming. He is Lord Michael's guest." Victoria thinks, "emCaptain Harris, Lord Michael's most trusted business partner. A man as villainous as him/em." Victoria told them they should be prepared to get punished, "I am afraid that this isn't looking good; as I said before, I will ensure the safety of the girls."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike and Sam were concerned. Victoria told them to continue working; they should mind their own business and let them take care of Adolpha. Mike gets upset. He yells at her about being a bossy old woman. Victoria slaps him across the face, "Listen, I have held my tongue about how you have handled your work; I let your selfish antics run on for long enough. This matter cannot be overlooked!"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike was scared; he held his face. The other maids were quietly hearing all this. Wolf was outside, but he heard them yelling. Victoria leaves them and heads to her room. Sam tries to comfort Mike. Mike was upset; he sat on the couch and asked Sam to get him something to drink. After some time, Mike had cooled off; he was thinking about what to do. Sam was scared and only thought about how they were going to die. Mike thought of something, "What if she wasn't pregnant?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Sam looks at Mike, "What, but she is." Mike makes an evil expression. He whispers his thoughts in Sam's ear. Sam becomes shocked and says he won't do it. "It is the only way; come think about it," Mike said. Sam stares at Mike, disappointed; he leaves the room. Mike gets upset with Sam./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The maids took food to Adolpha; they saw how happy she seemed. Adolpha smiled at them, which was new to them. The maids made small talk; Wolf heard and listened to them talk. The maids asked Adolpha if she was going to keep the baby. This confused her; one of the maids reminded her about Lord Michael./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha got worried. She then remembered her mother talking about when she was born: "emI was so happy. You and your brother mean the world to me. Adolpha, when you become a mother, you will see how wonderful it is/em." Adolpha looks at them, "I am not afraid." The maids look at each other; they look at Adolpha and encourage her./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf had left; he was at his campsite. He was lost in thoughts. He remembers doing all kinds of evil deeds for Lord Michael; he didn't think about anything. Wolf then thinks about Captain Harris, who made him the way he is. Wolf looks at the cabin; he thinks about Adolpha and the baby./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha was alone in the cabin; she talked to her belly, all happy. She looked at the drawing on the wall and explained to it, "This is Ardolph, and he is dumb; he may be your uncle, but he is a slow warrior. Next to him is me, when I was small, HAHAHA… Mother… Father…" She began to tear up./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"I had become late; Mike had left for the mainland. He was in a bar getting drunk. Sam was home also drinking. The maids were getting ready for bed; they talked about their day; some were scared about the situation, while others tried to keep positive. Victoria was sitting in her room, looking out through the window./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf had started his patrol; he was by the docks, staring off into the distance. He continued to the other side of the island. As Wolf walked the shoreline, he heard something; he turned around and saw Adolpha. She tried to scare him. Wolf didn't know what to say. Adolpha cheerfully walked to the water./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf stared at her; he thought again about their situation. He then thought about his child being born and living like them. He imagined Adolpha chained; he, on the other hand, would probably be dead. Adolpha turns to him, "Wolf, look, this seashell looks beautiful."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha saw Wolf make a serious expression; it scared her a little. "You are not safe here," he said. "What," Adolpha replied. Wolf walks up to her. "Lord Michael will be angry about what I did. You are not safe." Adolpha was confused by what he was saying. "I will free you." Adolpha stayed silent; the cold wind blew, and only the sound of the waves was heard./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The following morning, Mike had woken up at the bar. He got drunk and couldn't get home. The townsfolk knew him, so they let him sleep in the bar. The people were waking up, and some were walking into the bar. They sat and ordered something to drink. The bar also served breakfast and coffee./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The barkeep places a cup of coffee for Mike. Mike's head was hurting, and he felt sick. As he recovered, he heard some locals talk about some missing boats. They said they still hadn't found them; Mike ignored it. They also talk about the Umbridge Kingdom making moves. Mike gets up and heads out./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike heads to the docks and gets on a boat. Some people see him; they greet him. Mike says nothing. He heads out on his way back to the island. On his way back, more townsfolk saw him; they were working on some islands. They greet Mike; Mike nods at them./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The townsfolk never question what happened on the islands. They all respected Lord Michael; he helped them when their town was poor. The people respected his privacy and only stepped on the island for business. When there were deliveries, the workers left them on the docks. Mike reached the island. He headed home./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf had left Adolpha in the cabin. Adolpha stared at some seashells she collected; she was lost in thought about what Wolf told her, "emI will free you/em…" The maids came in with her breakfast. They made sure she was feeling all right. Adolpha ate breakfast. Wolf was at his camp, thinking of a way to free Adolpha. He needed to take her off the island. He also had doubts about doing it. He went to sleep thinking about it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike went to sleep in his bed; Sam saw him but said nothing. He left and went to help the maids. Victoria was working on some paperwork. She had to keep records of some financial spending and notes about maintenance in the house, but something else was on her mind. Victoria walks over to her window and looks at the cabin, "emWhat am I to do/em?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"After some time, Victoria headed to the kitchen to check on the others; they were talking. One of the girls asked Victoria if they could go to the mainland. They wanted to relax for a change. Victoria sees that they look exhausted; she sighs and agrees. The girls get excited; Victoria tells them to finish what they can before leaving./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"In the afternoon, the girls were ready; Victoria would stay and look after Adolpha. Sam was going to steer the boat. The girls left, and Wolf saw them leaving; he returned to his campsite. Mike has woken up and heads to the kitchen; he looks around and sees no one./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike sees some food and serves himself. Victoria walked in and saw him. Mike was still upset and said nothing. Victoria served herself and another plate and headed out to the cabin. Mike stood up and looked out the window, "I will not die for her mistake."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"On the mainland, the girls went and looked around; they hadn't been to the mainland that often. Sam followed them and helped carry some things. The girls stopped at the mail store; some wanted to send letters back home. Once they finish, they head somewhere to eat./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"While they ate, some men approached them to talk. They asked a lot of questions, which made them feel uncomfortable. Sam stood up and asked to leave; the men made fun of him. Sam mentions Lord Michael and the men go. The girls thank him, and they leave. They were done relaxing, so they headed back./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha had lunch with the head Maid, Victoria. Victoria asked her how she was doing. Adolpha was nervous at first because she hadn't done that before. It was all new to her; she eventually relaxed. Victoria had some fun with her. Wolf was outside listening to them./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The group returned to the island; it was peaceful and like usual. The maids reported to Victoria and then unpacked some things. Sam saw Mike by himself in the living room. Mike was drinking; he saw Sam and said nothing. The day went on, and it was dark. Adolpha was giving her dinner./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"That night, Adolpha stayed inside because it was cold, and she felt sick. Wolf patrolled the island and thought of a way to free Adolpha. Everyone had gone to sleep. Victoria stayed awake looking after Adolpha. The following day came with a surprise./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The sun was rising, and some townsfolk were heading to check on the orchards. The maids got ready for the day. A sudden horn and bells woke up everyone. Wolf got up and headed in the direction of the bells. Adolpha woke up scared. Sam and Mike also woke up and went to look./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The townsfolk also wondered what that was; they headed to the dock and saw a fleet of ships passing by. Lord Michael's Island was the last of the chain of islands; it was closer to the ocean. Most ships don't get near the islands, and only some boats go out for fishing./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Everyone was confused and amazed by the site. Victoria, the head maid, notices one of the ship's masts. It flew the Umbridge Kingdom flag. Sam and Mike headed to the beach to get a better look. Sam asked Mike if he knew who they were. "That is a fleet from the Kingdom; don't you see the Phoenix on the flags."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Once all the ships passed, it became the talk of the town. On the island, the maids talked about. Sam and Mike were also talking about it. Victoria told them to work and forget about it. Wolf was with Adolpha, and he told her about the ships. Adolpha said she wanted to see them./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Hey Mike, do you think that's why Lord Michael hasn't returned," Sam asked. Mike said he had no idea. Sam then remembers hearing that some soldiers had passed by, too. Mike said he heard that, too. They begin to think about what was happening./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Later that night, when everyone went to bed, Adolpha felt better. She sneaks out and goes over to Wolf, who is waiting. Adolpha wanted to know more about the ship. Wolf said he didn't know much about them. They walk around the island. This brought out the kid still within Adolpha; she pretended to be a soldier./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha began talking about her people, which made her smile. Wolf listened to her. They stopped by the beach, and Adolpha looked for more seashells. Wolf looked towards the ocean; he then thought of something. Adolpha ran to him to show him the shell. "I know how to get you out," "EH," Adolpha is surprised. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf took Adolpha to his camp; he made a fire and had her warm up. Adolpha was still surprised by what Wolf told her. She didn't know what to say. As she stared at the fire, she became tired and fell asleep. Wolf stared at her before picking her up./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf took her to the cabin and placed her on the bed; he covered her with the blankets. He looked at her wall, which had more drawings; one had a picture of a brown-haired wolf beast man, a woman wolf beast man, and a small baby; they were happy. Wolf had made up his mind./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The following morning, the maids came into the cabin; they had Adolph's breakfast. Adolpha was still asleep. One of the maids woke her up. Adolpha slowly opened her eyes and realized she was back in the cabin. She gets upset; the maids see her make an upset face. Adolpha complained about it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The maids were surprised because Adolpha was speaking; they usually don't hear her. One of the maids asks why she is upset. Adolpha said she fell asleep while spending time with Wolf. The maids were surprised, "You spent time with Wolf," one of the maids asked. Adolpha finally realizes she is talking to the maids./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha thought she made a mistake; the maids became interested and asked her questions. All they knew was that Adolpha got impregnated by Wolf after the attack on the island; they were always curious but didn't ask her. Adolpha felt happy talking to them; she told them a little about herself, and they did the same./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Victoria, the head maid, was wondering why the girls were late to come back; she went to check on them. The maids were talking to Adolpha. "AHEM," the maids turn around and see Victoria. They realized they were late to get back to work. The maids quickly clean up and leave. Victoria saw Adolpha's facial expression and left./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike and Sam looked like they had made up; they headed to the mainland. In town, the townsfolk began to get ready for the new year. That night, Adolpha was eating her dinner; the maids watching her were the same as the morning. They talk to Adolpha about the New Year's celebration. Adolpha was excited to hear about it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Later, after everyone went to sleep, Adolpha left the cabin and headed towards Wolf, who was digging a hole. "What are you doing," she asks him. Wolf stopped; he told her not to worry, "Let us go." This confused her. Wolf and Adolpha went on a walk. When they reached the beach, Adolpha began talking about the maids./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""They are nice; they told me about themselves. They said they are also separated from their families." Wolf saw her expression change; she was angry, sad, scared, and excited but happy. Adolpha mentions the New Year celebration the town was going to have. Wolf calmly spoke./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Adolpha, I am getting you off this island; we will travel through the sea." Adolpha again was confused; she had forgotten he told her he would free her. "What do you mean?" "Do you want to see your family again?" "Yes, but…" Wolf looked at her, "I will make that happen." Wolf told her what he was planning to do. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"He said they would escape through the sea, "I thought about it; when the ships passed, I knew that would be the only way to get you out." Wolf said he would prepare what they needed. Adolpha was still having trouble understanding. "For now, I need you to stay in the cabin; please trust me."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike and Sam were returning late from the mainland. They were drunk again; Sam began to talk, "What if we leave before Lord Michael comes back," "What," Mike replied. "Mike, let's leave; we can change our appearance and hide from Lord Michael." "Don't be stupid, that won't work. Lord Michael is too well connected; he will find us." "Then what are we going to do?" "Just stick to the plan; we are going to blame Wolf for all this," "AH, I forgot." Mike and Sam returned home./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The following morning, Adolpha was sad and lost in thought. The maids came and served her breakfast. They also had breakfast with them. Victoria allowed them to eat with Adolpha. Adolpha was happy; they began to talk more about themselves. Wolf was awake; he was making plans./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The maids were happily listening to Adolpha. They asked more questions; Adolpha told them about other places she was locked. "Lord Michael didn't always keep me away from everyone else. I used to be in large rooms decorated with expensive-looking things. The other maids would still do the same as you do."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The girls got sad hearing that. Adolpha continued; she told them she had to learn their customs and all sorts of things. Adolpha remembers the harsh lessons Lord Michael put her through. The girls insult Lord Michael, calling him names. The girls were done eating, so they cleaned up and left. Adolpha goes and lays on her bed./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Victoria was in Lord Michael's office; she had the bracelet. Victoria activates it, and a bookshelf reacts. The bookshelf moves, revealing a door. Victoria opened the door, and a large safe was behind the door; she again activated the bracelet, and the safe opened. Inside the safe were several crystals and papers and some gold coins./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Victoria took some and left; she closed the door and headed out. Mike was in the living room. Victoria calls him; she hands him a paper and the gold coins, "I need you to get these supplies." Mike took the piece of paper and went looking for Sam./span/p

Sam apologized to the girls and left. Mike and Sam head to the dock and get on a boat; they depart. Wolf had started his patrol early. He saw Mike and Sam leave./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf was looking at the workers on the close islands; he saw their boats. Wolf was thinking of a way to get one. He was also thinking of other things; he needed supplies. Wolf walked into the orchard on the island. He looked for whatever he could to make rope. Wolf walked around; he never really changed his route, but he was exploring more this time./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf found some old rope and crates; he took the rope and ensured it was strong after he looked for some rocks. He broke the rocks to make them sharp; Wolf cut some branches. It took several hours, and it had become late. Mike and Sam had returned from the mainland./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Sam and Mike unloaded some bags and headed home. Once they get inside, they go and drop off the bags. The maids were finishing preparing dinner. Sam was putting down the rest of the bags; Mike went over to Victoria and gave her the change. Victoria stopped Mike before he left, "Wait, here," she paid them. Mike was surprised./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike then remembered something; he pulled out some letters from a bag. He told Victoria that they were letters from the townsfolk. They were letters wishing them a happy New Year. Victoria took them and set them on the table; she thanked him. Mike went to the living room; Sam came in after./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The maids took Adolpha her dinner; they also ate with her. Adolpha was happily eating. She was eating something new, "Adolpha, you have to eat everything," one of the maids said. "No, that doesn't look good," she replied. The maid explained that it was good for her. Adolpha made a face./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"It was a new day; it was still cold outside. Mike was in the living room eating. Sam again was helping the maids. There was a knock at the door. Mike gets up and goes to check; he wasn't thinking. He opens the door and sees a letter on the floor; he picks it up and looks around for the messenger./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike shrugs his shoulders and closes the door. He looked at the letter; there was no seal. Mike opened it and read it; he began to shake. Mike ran looking for Sam. Some of the maids working inside heard him. Victoria wondered what was happening. Everyone then hears Mike. They go and see what the commotion is./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Sam came into the house and saw Mike panicking. "Mike, what's wrong," he asked. Victoria walked into the kitchen and also asked him what was wrong. Mike waved the letter, "This is bad, this is bad, really bad." Victoria tried to calm him down. Wolf heard the commotion and approached the house./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike gave the letter to Victoria; she read it and became concerned. The girls also worried, "What is it, madam," one asked. Victoria looked at them, "Captain Harris is almost here. Lord Michael wants us to be ready for his arrival." Wolf becomes shocked; he leaves, "emI need to hurry/em!" The maids looked at each other. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Victoria told them not to worry and to continue what they'd been doing.

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha hears movement outside; she goes to her window to see. Wolf took some rope the maids left out; Adolpha was confused. The maids arrived with her lunch. Adolpha noticed they were worried. The maids pretend nothing is wrong; they don't stay with Adolpha this time. Adolpha was even more confused./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The day continues with worries in the air. Victoria also could not focus; she was in her room thinking about what might happen. It became late, and everyone went to sleep worried. Adolpha didn't want to stay in the cabin and snuck out; she followed Wolf to the beach. "I told you you need to stay inside the cabin." "I don't want to; it is boring," she replied./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf let it and continued to work on his plan. Adolpha saw what he had; they were stick boxes. Adolpha asked what they were. Wolf told her they were traps. "Are they to catch fish?" "No, they for something else," Wolf explained that they were for lobsters. He told her he would catch them and use them as bait for fish./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha was surprised; she mentioned fishermen in her village. "The fishermen of my village use spears and nets. They always catch a bunch." Wolf goes over to the orchard and cuts more sticks. He then builds a fire, "Wait here." Wolf takes his shirt off; he walks to the water. Wolf jumps in; Adolpha is shocked, "Wolf!"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha looked around but could not see him; she tried to pick up his scent. She could only smell the ocean. Adolpha then sees a shadowy figure on the next island. The shadow went further into the island; after a while, they came back. It had a bag; they went into the water again. Wolf came out of the water and shook; he got close to the fire and warmed himself./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Where did you go," Adolpha asked him. Wolf had dropped the bag he had. Adolpha looked inside; there were more empty sacks and farming tools. Wolf was still cold; he had trouble speaking, "We will need supplies to take; I can find things on the other islands. The works leave tools on the islands./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha was worried about him; she then had mixed feelings about escaping. Wolf looks at her. He told her it would be fine, "This is nothing; I have been through much worse…" Wolf remembers getting beat up. Lord Michael's words in the background, "emYou worthless beast; how did you let him beat you! Next time, I won't be merciful/em." /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha sat next to him; she helped him warm up. Wolf slowly stops shaking. He looks at her. She was nervous; unknown to him, she was blushing. They then both stare at the fire; Adolpha smiles./span/p

Wolf had scared them when he crept up on them; they brought in the supplies. They walk to the kitchen, where Victoria, the head maid, talks to the girls. "Okay, we need to make sure she stays healthy. Adolpha will need plenty to eat." Mike and Sam set the supplies down, "We got everything you asked for." Victoria looks at them./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike didn't like how she was staring at them; he made an awkward look. Victoria asked them to follow her; they headed to the living room. "Whatever it is, we didn't do it," Mike says. Sam agrees, "We are innocent." Victoria told them to quiet down./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"She stared at them again. Mike and Sam get nervous. "What I am going to tell you will shock you. This puts everyone at risk of death." Mike and Sam look at each other. Victoria breathes deeply. "Mike, Sam, Adolpha is pregnant." It took a second; Sam became excited, "WOW, wonderful." Mike has a look of despair./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Isn't it a joyous celebration, Mike; why the long face?" Mike looks at Sam and smacks him on the head, "You idiot, this is bad." "Why did you hit me?" Mike explains the trouble the two will be in. Sam becomes frightened, "What are we going to do, Mike?" "I don't know; if the girl is pregnant and Captain Harris finds out…" "What did you say," Victoria asks, shocked./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike laughs awkwardly, "A messenger delivered a letter to us; it said that Captain Harris would be coming. He is Lord Michael's guest." Victoria thinks, "emCaptain Harris, Lord Michael's most trusted business partner. A man as villainous as him/em." Victoria told them they should be prepared to get punished, "I am afraid that this isn't looking good; as I said before, I will ensure the safety of the girls."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike and Sam were concerned. Victoria told them to continue working; they should mind their own business and let them take care of Adolpha. Mike gets upset. He yells at her about being a bossy old woman. Victoria slaps him across the face, "Listen, I have held my tongue about how you have handled your work; I let your selfish antics run on for long enough. This matter cannot be overlooked!"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike was scared; he held his face. The other maids were quietly hearing all this. Wolf was outside, but he heard them yelling. Victoria leaves them and heads to her room. Sam tries to comfort Mike. Mike was upset; he sat on the couch and asked Sam to get him something to drink. After some time, Mike had cooled off; he was thinking about what to do. Sam was scared and only thought about how they were going to die. Mike thought of something, "What if she wasn't pregnant?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Sam looks at Mike, "What, but she is." Mike makes an evil expression. He whispers his thoughts in Sam's ear. Sam becomes shocked and says he won't do it. "It is the only way; come think about it," Mike said. Sam stares at Mike, disappointed; he leaves the room. Mike gets upset with Sam./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The maids took food to Adolpha; they saw how happy she seemed. Adolpha smiled at them, which was new to them. The maids made small talk; Wolf heard and listened to them talk. The maids asked Adolpha if she was going to keep the baby. This confused her; one of the maids reminded her about Lord Michael./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha got worried. She then remembered her mother talking about when she was born: "emI was so happy. You and your brother mean the world to me. Adolpha, when you become a mother, you will see how wonderful it is/em." Adolpha looks at them, "I am not afraid." The maids look at each other; they look at Adolpha and encourage her./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf had left; he was at his campsite. He was lost in thoughts. He remembers doing all kinds of evil deeds for Lord Michael; he didn't think about anything. Wolf then thinks about Captain Harris, who made him the way he is. Wolf looks at the cabin; he thinks about Adolpha and the baby./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha was alone in the cabin; she talked to her belly, all happy. She looked at the drawing on the wall and explained to it, "This is Ardolph, and he is dumb; he may be your uncle, but he is a slow warrior. Next to him is me, when I was small, HAHAHA… Mother… Father…" She began to tear up./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"I had become late; Mike had left for the mainland. He was in a bar getting drunk. Sam was home also drinking. The maids were getting ready for bed; they talked about their day; some were scared about the situation, while others tried to keep positive. Victoria was sitting in her room, looking out through the window./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf had started his patrol; he was by the docks, staring off into the distance. He continued to the other side of the island. As Wolf walked the shoreline, he heard something; he turned around and saw Adolpha. She tried to scare him. Wolf didn't know what to say. Adolpha cheerfully walked to the water./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf stared at her; he thought again about their situation. He then thought about his child being born and living like them. He imagined Adolpha chained; he, on the other hand, would probably be dead. Adolpha turns to him, "Wolf, look, this seashell looks beautiful."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha saw Wolf make a serious expression; it scared her a little. "You are not safe here," he said. "What," Adolpha replied. Wolf walks up to her. "Lord Michael will be angry about what I did. You are not safe." Adolpha was confused by what he was saying. "I will free you." Adolpha stayed silent; the cold wind blew, and only the sound of the waves was heard./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The following morning, Mike had woken up at the bar. He got drunk and couldn't get home. The townsfolk knew him, so they let him sleep in the bar. The people were waking up, and some were walking into the bar. They sat and ordered something to drink. The bar also served breakfast and coffee./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The barkeep places a cup of coffee for Mike. Mike's head was hurting, and he felt sick. As he recovered, he heard some locals talk about some missing boats. They said they still hadn't found them; Mike ignored it. They also talk about the Umbridge Kingdom making moves. Mike gets up and heads out./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike heads to the docks and gets on a boat. Some people see him; they greet him. Mike says nothing. He heads out on his way back to the island. On his way back, more townsfolk saw him; they were working on some islands. They greet Mike; Mike nods at them./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The townsfolk never question what happened on the islands. They all respected Lord Michael; he helped them when their town was poor. The people respected his privacy and only stepped on the island for business. When there were deliveries, the workers left them on the docks. Mike reached the island. He headed home./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf had left Adolpha in the cabin. Adolpha stared at some seashells she collected; she was lost in thought about what Wolf told her, "emI will free you/em…" The maids came in with her breakfast. They made sure she was feeling all right. Adolpha ate breakfast. Wolf was at his camp, thinking of a way to free Adolpha. He needed to take her off the island. He also had doubts about doing it. He went to sleep thinking about it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike went to sleep in his bed; Sam saw him but said nothing. He left and went to help the maids. Victoria was working on some paperwork. She had to keep records of some financial spending and notes about maintenance in the house, but something else was on her mind. Victoria walks over to her window and looks at the cabin, "emWhat am I to do/em?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"After some time, Victoria headed to the kitchen to check on the others; they were talking. One of the girls asked Victoria if they could go to the mainland. They wanted to relax for a change. Victoria sees that they look exhausted; she sighs and agrees. The girls get excited; Victoria tells them to finish what they can before leaving./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"In the afternoon, the girls were ready; Victoria would stay and look after Adolpha. Sam was going to steer the boat. The girls left, and Wolf saw them leaving; he returned to his campsite. Mike has woken up and heads to the kitchen; he looks around and sees no one./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike sees some food and serves himself. Victoria walked in and saw him. Mike was still upset and said nothing. Victoria served herself and another plate and headed out to the cabin. Mike stood up and looked out the window, "I will not die for her mistake."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"On the mainland, the girls went and looked around; they hadn't been to the mainland that often. Sam followed them and helped carry some things. The girls stopped at the mail store; some wanted to send letters back home. Once they finish, they head somewhere to eat./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"While they ate, some men approached them to talk. They asked a lot of questions, which made them feel uncomfortable. Sam stood up and asked to leave; the men made fun of him. Sam mentions Lord Michael and the men go. The girls thank him, and they leave. They were done relaxing, so they headed back./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha had lunch with the head Maid, Victoria. Victoria asked her how she was doing. Adolpha was nervous at first because she hadn't done that before. It was all new to her; she eventually relaxed. Victoria had some fun with her. Wolf was outside listening to them./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The group returned to the island; it was peaceful and like usual. The maids reported to Victoria and then unpacked some things. Sam saw Mike by himself in the living room. Mike was drinking; he saw Sam and said nothing. The day went on, and it was dark. Adolpha was giving her dinner./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"That night, Adolpha stayed inside because it was cold, and she felt sick. Wolf patrolled the island and thought of a way to free Adolpha. Everyone had gone to sleep. Victoria stayed awake looking after Adolpha. The following day came with a surprise./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The sun was rising, and some townsfolk were heading to check on the orchards. The maids got ready for the day. A sudden horn and bells woke up everyone. Wolf got up and headed in the direction of the bells. Adolpha woke up scared. Sam and Mike also woke up and went to look./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The townsfolk also wondered what that was; they headed to the dock and saw a fleet of ships passing by. Lord Michael's Island was the last of the chain of islands; it was closer to the ocean. Most ships don't get near the islands, and only some boats go out for fishing./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Everyone was confused and amazed by the site. Victoria, the head maid, notices one of the ship's masts. It flew the Umbridge Kingdom flag. Sam and Mike headed to the beach to get a better look. Sam asked Mike if he knew who they were. "That is a fleet from the Kingdom; don't you see the Phoenix on the flags."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Once all the ships passed, it became the talk of the town. On the island, the maids talked about. Sam and Mike were also talking about it. Victoria told them to work and forget about it. Wolf was with Adolpha, and he told her about the ships. Adolpha said she wanted to see them./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Hey Mike, do you think that's why Lord Michael hasn't returned," Sam asked. Mike said he had no idea. Sam then remembers hearing that some soldiers had passed by, too. Mike said he heard that, too. They begin to think about what was happening./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Later that night, when everyone went to bed, Adolpha felt better. She sneaks out and goes over to Wolf, who is waiting. Adolpha wanted to know more about the ship. Wolf said he didn't know much about them. They walk around the island. This brought out the kid still within Adolpha; she pretended to be a soldier./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha began talking about her people, which made her smile. Wolf listened to her. They stopped by the beach, and Adolpha looked for more seashells. Wolf looked towards the ocean; he then thought of something. Adolpha ran to him to show him the shell. "I know how to get you out," "EH," Adolpha is surprised. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf took Adolpha to his camp; he made a fire and had her warm up. Adolpha was still surprised by what Wolf told her. She didn't know what to say. As she stared at the fire, she became tired and fell asleep. Wolf stared at her before picking her up./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf took her to the cabin and placed her on the bed; he covered her with the blankets. He looked at her wall, which had more drawings; one had a picture of a brown-haired wolf beast man, a woman wolf beast man, and a small baby; they were happy. Wolf had made up his mind./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The following morning, the maids came into the cabin; they had Adolph's breakfast. Adolpha was still asleep. One of the maids woke her up. Adolpha slowly opened her eyes and realized she was back in the cabin. She gets upset; the maids see her make an upset face. Adolpha complained about it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The maids were surprised because Adolpha was speaking; they usually don't hear her. One of the maids asks why she is upset. Adolpha said she fell asleep while spending time with Wolf. The maids were surprised, "You spent time with Wolf," one of the maids asked. Adolpha finally realizes she is talking to the maids./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha thought she made a mistake; the maids became interested and asked her questions. All they knew was that Adolpha got impregnated by Wolf after the attack on the island; they were always curious but didn't ask her. Adolpha felt happy talking to them; she told them a little about herself, and they did the same./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Victoria, the head maid, was wondering why the girls were late to come back; she went to check on them. The maids were talking to Adolpha. "AHEM," the maids turn around and see Victoria. They realized they were late to get back to work. The maids quickly clean up and leave. Victoria saw Adolpha's facial expression and left./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike and Sam looked like they had made up; they headed to the mainland. In town, the townsfolk began to get ready for the new year. That night, Adolpha was eating her dinner; the maids watching her were the same as the morning. They talk to Adolpha about the New Year's celebration. Adolpha was excited to hear about it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Later, after everyone went to sleep, Adolpha left the cabin and headed towards Wolf, who was digging a hole. "What are you doing," she asks him. Wolf stopped; he told her not to worry, "Let us go." This confused her. Wolf and Adolpha went on a walk. When they reached the beach, Adolpha began talking about the maids./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""They are nice; they told me about themselves. They said they are also separated from their families." Wolf saw her expression change; she was angry, sad, scared, and excited but happy. Adolpha mentions the New Year celebration the town was going to have. Wolf calmly spoke./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Adolpha, I am getting you off this island; we will travel through the sea." Adolpha again was confused; she had forgotten he told her he would free her. "What do you mean?" "Do you want to see your family again?" "Yes, but…" Wolf looked at her, "I will make that happen." Wolf told her what he was planning to do. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"He said they would escape through the sea, "I thought about it; when the ships passed, I knew that would be the only way to get you out." Wolf said he would prepare what they needed. Adolpha was still having trouble understanding. "For now, I need you to stay in the cabin; please trust me."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike and Sam were returning late from the mainland. They were drunk again; Sam began to talk, "What if we leave before Lord Michael comes back," "What," Mike replied. "Mike, let's leave; we can change our appearance and hide from Lord Michael." "Don't be stupid, that won't work. Lord Michael is too well connected; he will find us." "Then what are we going to do?" "Just stick to the plan; we are going to blame Wolf for all this," "AH, I forgot." Mike and Sam returned home./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The following morning, Adolpha was sad and lost in thought. The maids came and served her breakfast. They also had breakfast with them. Victoria allowed them to eat with Adolpha. Adolpha was happy; they began to talk more about themselves. Wolf was awake; he was making plans./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The maids were happily listening to Adolpha. They asked more questions; Adolpha told them about other places she was locked. "Lord Michael didn't always keep me away from everyone else. I used to be in large rooms decorated with expensive-looking things. The other maids would still do the same as you do."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The girls got sad hearing that. Adolpha continued; she told them she had to learn their customs and all sorts of things. Adolpha remembers the harsh lessons Lord Michael put her through. The girls insult Lord Michael, calling him names. The girls were done eating, so they cleaned up and left. Adolpha goes and lays on her bed./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Victoria was in Lord Michael's office; she had the bracelet. Victoria activates it, and a bookshelf reacts. The bookshelf moves, revealing a door. Victoria opened the door, and a large safe was behind the door; she again activated the bracelet, and the safe opened. Inside the safe were several crystals and papers and some gold coins./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Victoria took some and left; she closed the door and headed out. Mike was in the living room. Victoria calls him; she hands him a paper and the gold coins, "I need you to get these supplies." Mike took the piece of paper and went looking for Sam./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Sam was helping the maids put the laundry out; Mike called him and told him they needed to go to the mainland. Sam apologized to the girls and left. Mike and Sam head to the dock and get on a boat; they depart. Wolf had started his patrol early. He saw Mike and Sam leave./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf was looking at the workers on the close islands; he saw their boats. Wolf was thinking of a way to get one. He was also thinking of other things; he needed supplies. Wolf walked into the orchard on the island. He looked for whatever he could to make rope. Wolf walked around; he never really changed his route, but he was exploring more this time./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf found some old rope and crates; he took the rope and ensured it was strong after he looked for some rocks. He broke the rocks to make them sharp; Wolf cut some branches. It took several hours, and it had become late. Mike and Sam had returned from the mainland./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Sam and Mike unloaded some bags and headed home. Once they get inside, they go and drop off the bags. The maids were finishing preparing dinner. Sam was putting down the rest of the bags; Mike went over to Victoria and gave her the change. Victoria stopped Mike before he left, "Wait, here," she paid them. Mike was surprised./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike then remembered something; he pulled out some letters from a bag. He told Victoria that they were letters from the townsfolk. They were letters wishing them a happy New Year. Victoria took them and set them on the table; she thanked him. Mike went to the living room; Sam came in after./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The maids took Adolpha her dinner; they also ate with her. Adolpha was happily eating. She was eating something new, "Adolpha, you have to eat everything," one of the maids said. "No, that doesn't look good," she replied. The maid explained that it was good for her. Adolpha made a face./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"It was a new day; it was still cold outside. Mike was in the living room eating. Sam again was helping the maids. There was a knock at the door. Mike gets up and goes to check; he wasn't thinking. He opens the door and sees a letter on the floor; he picks it up and looks around for the messenger./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike shrugs his shoulders and closes the door. He looked at the letter; there was no seal. Mike opened it and read it; he began to shake. Mike ran looking for Sam. Some of the maids working inside heard him. Victoria wondered what was happening. Everyone then hears Mike. They go and see what the commotion is./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Sam came into the house and saw Mike panicking. "Mike, what's wrong," he asked. Victoria walked into the kitchen and also asked him what was wrong. Mike waved the letter, "This is bad, this is bad, really bad." Victoria tried to calm him down. Wolf heard the commotion and approached the house./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Mike gave the letter to Victoria; she read it and became concerned. The girls also worried, "What is it, madam," one asked. Victoria looked at them, "Captain Harris is almost here. Lord Michael wants us to be ready for his arrival." Wolf becomes shocked; he leaves, "emI need to hurry/em!" The maids looked at each other. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Victoria told them not to worry and to continue what they'd been doing. Mike and Sam were scared; they also looked at each other. Mike leaves, and Sam follows. Adolpha knew nothing and was waiting for her lunch; it was strange that they hadn't come. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha hears movement outside; she goes to her window to see. Wolf took some rope the maids left out; Adolpha was confused. The maids arrived with her lunch. Adolpha noticed they were worried. The maids pretend nothing is wrong; they don't stay with Adolpha this time. Adolpha was even more confused./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The day continues with worries in the air. Victoria also could not focus; she was in her room thinking about what might happen. It became late, and everyone went to sleep worried. Adolpha didn't want to stay in the cabin and snuck out; she followed Wolf to the beach. "I told you you need to stay inside the cabin." "I don't want to; it is boring," she replied./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Wolf let it and continued to work on his plan. Adolpha saw what he had; they were stick boxes. Adolpha asked what they were. Wolf told her they were traps. "Are they to catch fish?" "No, they for something else," Wolf explained that they were for lobsters. He told her he would catch them and use them as bait for fish./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha was surprised; she mentioned fishermen in her village. "The fishermen of my village use spears and nets. They always catch a bunch." Wolf goes over to the orchard and cuts more sticks. He then builds a fire, "Wait here." Wolf takes his shirt off; he walks to the water. Wolf jumps in; Adolpha is shocked, "Wolf!"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha looked around but could not see him; she tried to pick up his scent. She could only smell the ocean. Adolpha then sees a shadowy figure on the next island. The shadow went further into the island; after a while, they came back. It had a bag; they went into the water again. Wolf came out of the water and shook; he got close to the fire and warmed himself./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Where did you go," Adolpha asked him. Wolf had dropped the bag he had. Adolpha looked inside; there were more empty sacks and farming tools. Wolf was still cold; he had trouble speaking, "We will need supplies to take; I can find things on the other islands. The works leave tools on the islands./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha was worried about him; she then had mixed feelings about escaping. Wolf looks at her. He told her it would be fine, "This is nothing; I have been through much worse…" Wolf remembers getting beat up. Lord Michael's words in the background, "emYou worthless beast; how did you let him beat you! Next time, I won't be merciful/em." /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Adolpha sat next to him; she helped him warm up. Wolf slowly stops shaking. He looks at her. She was nervous; unknown to him, she was blushing. They then both stare at the fire; Adolpha smiles./span/p
