Veronica can feel her heart beating in her ears so loudly she can hardly even think. 
She presses her back firmly against a tree, trying to suck in a full breath. 
Her eyes scan around, a small nod is given as she see's Mari stopped at a tree a few feet behind her. Mari makes eye contact with Veronica, raising her brows. 
Veronica waits for a moment before giving Mari a small nod. 
Mari breaks off into a sprint, but is quickly taken down to the ground.
"What the fuck, Shipman!?" she exclaims as she is being tackled on the dirt.
"Give it to me!" Shauna grunts, trying to grasp Mari's hand.
Veronica holds her breath, shimmying herself around the tree to ensure she won't be seen.
"Fuck you!" Mari exclaims, throwing Shauna off of her.
Shauna is quick to get back up however, pouncing back onto Mari.
"Get off me, gaywad!" Mari shouts, sending an elbow Shauna's way.
"Let go of it!"
Veronica watches in horror as Shauna roughly grasps Mari's hand, the horror only grows as Shauna takes a bite into Mari's hand, hard enough to draw blood.
Mari's loud screaming causes the attention of the other girls, but Veronica finds herself staying planted behind the tree. 

"Oh! What is even happening right now?" Van jogs over to the two wrestling girls, Natalie, Taissa and Melissa follow shortly behind her. 
"You guys saw that, right?" Mari cradles her hand. 
"You know the rules, Mar," Natalie pants "You get tagged, you give it up," 
Veronica digs her hand into the pockets of her jean shorts, grasping the bone in her hands. 
She grasps it tightly, glancing behind her. 
"I don't have it," Mari shows her empty hands. 
Veronica takes this as her cue, she doesn't glance back as she begins sprinting forward. 
"It's fucking Howard!" Shauna shouts, without a doubt already beginning to sprint after her. 
"God dammit!" Taissa shouts, her and the other girls following behind. 
Veronica keeps running, not being able to help glancing behind her, seeing Shauna is fast approaching. 
"Misty!" Veronica shouts, throwing the bone to the curly haired girl. 
Misty catches it with ease just as Shauna tackles Veronica to the ground. 
Veronica lifts her head up from her spot on the dirt, watching as Misty hands it to Gen, whom of which brings it to the base. 

Gen cheers loudly, jumping up and down at the teams victory. 
Veronica is quick to get up from the ground, joining Gen, Misty and Van in their victory cheer. 
"Fuck yeah!" Veronica grins as Van tackles her in a hug. 
"We did it! We did it!" Misty cheers. "We won!" she adds with a grin. 
"Fuck yeah we did!" Veronica grins, bringing Misty in briefly. 
Mari approaches the group, "Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!" she cheers loudly. 
Veronica joins in with the rest of the group, cheering loudly.

Veronica sits in her and Natalie's shared hut, her back turned to the entrance as she flicks through her book. 
"You're sneaky as hell, Howard," 
Veronica turns around, a grin on her face as she sees Natalie standing in front of her. 
"Bitter you lost, Scatorccio?" Veronica teases, raising to her feet. 
Natalie gives a small laugh, "You wish," 
Veronica wraps her arms around Natalie's waist, "Mhm, sure," 
Natalie tilts her head, "Don't worry. I'll kick your ass next time," 
"Sure you will," Veronica smiles, moving one of her hands to tuck a strand of Natalie's hair behind her ear. 
"You ready for the great story telling of Van Palmer?" Natalie smirks. 
Veronica nods, "Oh yeah. Never a dull story with Van," she grins. 

The two then soon make their way out of the hut, witnessing Mari taunting Shauna. 
"Loser says what?" 
"Knock it off, Mar!" Natalie approaches the two. 
"How's your hand?" Shauna taunts back, Mari flips her off before turning swiftly on her feet. 
Veronica carefully joins Natalie's side, rolling her eyes as Shauna also goes to storm away to her hut instead of with the other girls.  
"Hey, aren't you coming?" Natalie asks. 
Shauna turns around with a huff, "I'm good," she goes to walk away again, but Natalie interrupts her. "Wait! It's just..." she trails off, "Van's been working so hard and-" 
"So, are you asking me if I want to go or telling me I have to?" Shauna barks back. 
"Shauna," Veronica warns. 
"Y-you don't have to do anything, Shauna," Natalie shakes her head, "I was just checking in," 
"And I deeply appreciate it," Shauna gives a mocking bow, "My queen," 
Shauna rolls her eyes as she storms back into her hut.
Natalie lets out a small sigh.
"Try not to dwell on it too much," Veronica says, "She's still grieving,"
"I know," Natalie nods, "I just wish she could see I'm trying here,"
"I'm sure she knows, Nat. She's just grieving in her own way, once unfortunately for us happens to be anger," she jokes. 
Natalie takes Veronica's hand, silently leading her back to where all the other girls are seated.
