Chapter 26 - S4: To the past

"so we're attacking but don't have a plan?" Lisa looks annoyed at Dennis. Mathijs limps around the corner. He tries to tie the laces of his boots. Then he looks angrily at Dennis. Lisa looks around confused. "Dennis, you need to listen more and think less about yourself." Mathijs puts an irritated hand on Dennis's shoulder. "You're not the boss here." Dennis pushes Mathijs away roughly. Lisa runs to Mathijs. "Are you okay?" She asks, her voice trembling. Mathijs nods. "Are we having a fight? I quite like a bit of a fight!" Mellody yells as she walks toward the three. "We don't like fights." Alia steps in front of Mellody.

Lisa looks around fearfully. Her whole body trembles. She looks nervously at a microphone. "Hi?" She says into the microphone. she's sitting in a black room. She's on a wooden chair with a microphone in the middle. "Can I get out of this booth? It's cold here." Lisa's voice starts to tremble more and more. Then she feels a hard pressure on the back of her head.

When Lisa comes to again, there's a boy with fluffy black hair and a girl with short orange/red hair. "Alice." Says the girl. "Mathijs." Says the boy, irritated. "Lisa." Says Lisa, confused. "I had to choose team members based on votes." Mathijs sighs. He looks at the two girls. "What do you mean team members?" Alice asks, confused. "We're going to play some games. That's what I heard." Mathijs plays with the sand. They sit cross-legged. It's storming on the beach, but despite the storm the water remains calm. A pleasant silence falls. "You're pretty." Says Mathijs after a few minutes. He looks at Lisa. Lisa smiles. She finds it so sweet she doesn't know what to say. "I can see you're blushing." Says Mathijs. Lisa starts blushing even harder. Alice rolls her eyes and looks around. Then everything suddenly turns black before their eyes. A blindfold is put on. "Follow." A shy voice says. The group eventually stops after a few minutes. The blindfolds of Mathijs and Alice are taken off. The two look around, scared. Then earplugs are placed in Alice's ears and a cloth is tied around Mathijs's mouth. "You have to cross the bridge." A harsh male voice says. "Easy." Lisa giggles. Mathijs looks at Lisa with a blindfold on her face and then at the bridge. It's a wobbly bridge without railings. You could fall right into the ravine. No one can warn Lisa. Alice hears nothing and Mathijs is not allowed to speak. Mathijs holds Lisa by her arm and Alice holds Mathijs's shoulder. There's a lot of screaming, but Lisa's group reaches the other side fairly quickly. "Easy." Thinks Mathijs. Then he looks ahead and sees a new bridge. A bridge full of holes. Not only that, but he hears a girl shouting. Mathijs looks back and freezes when he sees his ex.
