Y/N woke up to a knock on the door which startled her. Seeing that it was still dark outside, she couldn't think of anyone who would be here at this hour.

"One second!" She put on her robe as it was cold and turned on the lights.

By the time she got to the door there was no one there but a letter and a box. Y/N looked around but saw no one in sight.

She brought the box in and placed it on the kitchen counter as she tore open the letter, reading through it's content:

"You're mine."

Creeped out by the letter, Y/N hesitated on whether she should open the box that came with it

"This....is very concerning..." Y/N opened up the box, only to see...

Photographs?

It was filled with photographs of Y/N, working on the farm, in her house and even in the back woods.

"I should talk to someone about it..." Y/N placed everything back in the box and

*RING*

"Hey! What's up? Need anything from the store?" Abigail's voice could be heard from the other end of the phone with Sam saying Hi in the background.

"Hey Abigail, are you busy right now? Could you guys come over...? I need to talk about something..." Y/N sighed, running her fingers through her hair.

"Sure! We'll be right over" Abigail hangs up and the line ends

It didn't take long before Y/N's doorbell started ringing. Upon opening the door, Y/N saw her three friends with drinks and foods in their hands.

"We...brought food?" Abigail's cheerful tone changing into a worried one as she saw the look on Y/N's face.

"Is something wrong? You don't look too well" Abigail voiced out her concern as they enter the house

Sam and Sebastian left the talking to Abigail while they prepped the snacks and drinks for them all to eat.

"Hey Y/N? Where should I move the box to?" Sam pointed towards the box Y/N had left on the table earlier on.

Y/N got up and grabbed the box handing it to Abigail with Sam and Sebastian peeking from the kitchen

"Someone sent this to me this morning...and I'm not sure what I should do" Y/N slumped into the couch, massaging her forehead.

"Woah, you've got yourself some stalker" Sam chimed from the kitchen, bringing over the snacks with Sebastian trailing behind him.

Sebastian nudged Sam in the arm and gave him a look to stop talking

"Is this the first time you've received something like this?" Abigail asked as she went through the pictures.

"I've received a few letters....I didn't think much of it then" Y/N drank the soda Sebastian offered annd sighed

Y/N explained how she had been feeling as though she was being watched, but just couldnt figure out who it was.

Y/N also mentioned seeing Haley and Leah together one day holding a camera near the farm. However they didnt look suspicious in the slightest bit so she let it go.

"How about asking them? Maybe theyve seen someone?" Sebastian suggested, eating a bag of chips before Sam stole it off of him.

"I agree with Seb, you should talk to Leah and Haley"

"Yeah, i'll ask them then. Thank you guys for coming over" Y/N expressed her gratitude

"Aww, dont swear it! We're friends its what we do" Abigail hugged Y/N

They spent the next hour or two talking about random things.

Once they had left, Y/N changed her clothes and headed out. She decided to approach Leah first as she seemed like a really sweet person and that it might be easier to get an answer

Y/N had her mind filled with thoughts, dissociating with her surroundings.

She then passed by Marnie's shop when she saw Shane. Y/N greeted him however something he said caught her off guard.

"You aren't your usual self today, did something happen? I'm sorry, I don't mean to pry but.... nevermind" Shane walked into Marnie's shop

Y/N thought that his behaviour was odd but his words werent wrong. Y/N took out her phone and turned on the camera and realized the expression she was wearing on her face.

She tried smiling a little before heading towards Leah's house.

After a few knocks, Y/N heard a few thumps from inside before the door opened revealing Leah who was almost covered in paint.

"Oh? Y/N, what brings you here?" Leah wiped her palms off on her apron

"It seems like you're busy....I wouldn't want to intrude.." Y/N answered awkwardly

Leah let out a small chuckle

"Its alright, would you like to come in? I must warn you that the whole place is covered in paint" She opened her door wider, revealing the canvas in the midst of the room

"That's fine" Y/N entered and immediately looked at the painting that Leah was working on

"Not really my best work....but making it brings me joy" Leah sat back down on the stool placed in front of the canvas

"It's beautiful..." To which Leah chuckled as her cheeks had a slight tint of pink

"Now, what brings you here?" Leah asked

Y/N sat on a nearby chair and fiddled with her fingers trying to think of a way to bring up the subject.

"Well...do you perhaps own a camera? Or maybe process the films?" Y/N asked, smoothly, at least she thinks she did

"Camera? No i dont own one nor do i process the films....is it for your farm?" Leah curiously asked

".....Y-yes! It is....im planning to....uhm...write an autobiography for future purposes...?" Y/N chuckled awkwardly, avoiding Leah's eyes

"...I see...if its a photographer you're looking for, I would recommend Haley. Recently she helped me out in findinf inspirations and we took tons of stunning views" Leah smiled warmly

"Thank you Leah! I'll be heading out now....and thank you for your time" Y/N waved goodbye to which Leah reciprocated

As Y/N reached Sam's house, she noticed Emily standing by the door talking to Penny.
