the barrens were silent apart from the rustling of trees and the sound of water trickling along the rocks. (y/n) sat on a dry patch in the middle of the stream, her polaroid camera to her eye.

yes. perfect angle. don't you dare fuck this up (y/n) (l/n).

her nose was scrunched in concentration and her arms were perfectly still as she tried to capture a bird in the branch of a tree looming over the stream.

she clicked the shutter button.

gotcha.

the picture slid out the bottom of the camera and (y/n) grabbed it, shaking it at a lightning fast pace.

then she heard a sound.

the snapping of a twig underneath a shoe.

she turned, and saw the bowers' gang at the shore of the water.

fuck.

her eyes met henry's and he smirked, motioning for his lackeys to get her.

not today motherfuckers.

so she ran. her hair flew behind her in the wind and she clutched her camera and picture to her chest.

she didn't know where she was going, but she knew she had to go faster, she could still hear their footsteps behind her, sloshing through the water.

water was spraying everywhere, (y/n) prayed that her precious camera wasn't getting wet.

figuring that the path she was taking was ineffective, she decided to change course to the quarry.

her legs pumped faster than they ever had before and bark and twigs sliced her bare feet.

this shit was very fucking painful.

(y/n) stopped at the quarry

she couldn't hear them behind her anymore, but she knew they'd be there soon.

quickly, she stripped off her dress and wrapped her camera in it, leaving her shivering in her underwear despite the warm weather.

fucking hell i can't believe im doing this shit.

stashing her stuff in a nearby bush, (y/n) didn't notice the heap of clothes in the bush next to hers.

then she stilled.

she could hear laughter coming from the bottom of the cliff.

shit, fuck, what do i do-

her thoughts were cut off by henry bursting through the bushes behind her.

she panicked.

"well well well, this is quite a treat isn't it?" he smirked, swaggering toward her.

hell no.

running to the edge of the cliff, she turned around.

"suck my fucking dick you piece of shit!" (y/n) screamed at the top of her lungs before jumping off.

the wind rushed through her hair and goosebumps appeared on her skin as the water came closer and closer and-

"oof." (y/n) hit the water with a big splash, her body going into shock because of the cold.

"see boys, the ladies just can't help but fall for me."
