End of the Line

This was never going to be an easy journey.

"Where are you girl?" He yells as he frantically runs in some route, thinking he might find Mary there.

The voices in his head, all around him, screaming, yelling, insulting him. He's nothing but a pappa's boy. Just some kid following orders, just someone who just wants to hurt people to get everything he wants.

The many more voices in his head, making his rage more worse. Before going to a tree, laying himself onto it, before screaming. Wanting all of the voices to stop. Leave him alone.

Till the voices disappear, and for the voice of Liam, to go in his head. Instead of something comforting from his friend who is no longer with him anymore, he only insults him again. Before saying he has done everything he can but the problem is...

Michael is beyond repair. There's nothing he could do to fix him. He'll be all alone.

"Fuck you!!" Before punching the tree.

"Fuck you... fuck you... fuck you!!!" As he continues punching the tree with his fist. Till his knuckles begin to bleed as the stains of blood start appearing into the tree. Before he stops. Turning himself around before punching again.

"MARY!! I know you're there." He yells one more time. Not caring about the pain he's feeling from his knuckles.

Having been resting in a river herself and Connor haven't found, as dehydration and exhaustion starts to take over her, she splashes water on her face before getting herself up. Now more awake than ever but more fearful of the fact that Michael can be anywhere, calling her, hunting her.

With her strength and energy having been returned to her, she immediately rushes to the other side of the river, still hoping Michael doesn't catch up to her, know where she is.

With that having been passed, she rushes herself. Her focus and attention isn't clear, having hit herself with wood, branches, having gotten herself tripped, making her fall. But it doesn't seem to affect her. As she crawls for a small bit before raising herself back up.

She knows where the waterfall is but the chase itself, is starting to become a distraction. Just let it end for once. Just leave her alone and let her be. But knowing Michael, he wouldn't let it go. She killed Liam and he wouldn't let her get away with it.

Struggling to breath, she goes to a tree before placing herself onto it. Trying to catch her breath. Lasting for a couple of minutes before her breathing becomes balanced. Able to make her feel relaxed.

"MARY!!!" Till he fires shots from his gun. Hearing this, frightening her but she doesn't move.

Needing to think on where she needs to go as she lets her fear aside and looks around. Trying to remember how herself and Connor got themselves in the waterfall.

Only to remember a bush that they passed by. Seeing right now, her mind waking up, she's in the right place. Realising this right now, she gets herself back to focus, takes her arm away from the tree and runs straight pass it.

Michael continues yelling her name as the voices get more violent in his head. This time, it's no longer a dream. It's now real. All there to make him suffer. Mary herself, running as fast as she can before stopping herself in her tracks.

In front of her, a branch. Almost close to hitting it. Breathing in and out, she lowers herself down, before walking slowly, revealing herself. Wanting to run even more but her breathing starts to become a struggle. Her lungs can't take it anymore.

Coughing as she lowers herself. She looks at the ground, till the sounds of a waterfall start to become heard.

Hearing this, she walks slowly. Taking one step at a time. And the moment she comes out of the bushes and the leaves pushing her back, the water flowing on one side, the waterfall.
