I had to leave. That's what I kept telling myself as I left home in the middle of the night.
I found myself falling headfirst into the arms of the man that found me in his barn.
He's gentle and sweet and the best thing that has ever happened to me. After all the hurt my parents caused me, I feared I wouldn't know how to love or how to be loved.
He showed me.
He showed me that even if I'm broken I can still be loved and whole.
But will all that be enough to keep me safe from my past? Or his?

My Woods
'"What are you doing here?!" I scolded. "What are you doing here?!" Hunter said. "You didn't answer my question!" I said to him. He looked at me and I knew what was coming next. He suddenly turned from furious to comforting. "What's is this place?" He whispered and opened his arms. I examined him cautiously before breaking and running into his arms. I cried against his strong build. He stroked my hair and whispered repetitively, "Its ok. I'm here now. Don't worry. I'm all yours."' Everyone has to start somewhere. My life started without a dad. People change their minds and people make mistakes. My mom did just that when she left me at four years old with my Great Aunt Lorie. I know where my mom lives, but I wish I didn't. Don't get me wrong, I still love her to death, but sometimes...forgiveness...is hard to give out...to everyone. 'I jumped over the river that I had never crossed before. I heard my mom calling my name behind me, but I ignored her. Tears streamed down my face. Now, on the other side of the river, I was in a forest, jumping over logs and fallen tree trunks, pushing leaves out of my face. I stopped when I finally felt fully isolated. I sat down on a small rock and cried and cried and cried. I guess this is where I will stay for now. I guess these are just my woods for now. Just my woods for now.'Complete

Save Me
I was drowning. I knew that. I also knew that the hands around my throat, pushing me deeper into the river water was the cause. What I didn't know was who was drowning me and why. It hurt thinking. It hurt to do anything right now. But I still screamed under the cold water and pushed the hands away as hard as I could. It didn't have much effect.

It was the worst pain imaginable; and as the hands that were around my neck were forcibly ripped off by some unknown force, I slipped deeper into the depths of the river. My hair was straight above me along with my arms. My eyes were open and the water burned. A darkness started to pull me under, taking the pain away. I felt a small pressure around my waist, before the darkness completely consumed me. The last thing I remember is thinking, save me.Complete

Yellowstone: The Silence Between Screams
Cassidy was a ghost before the Duttons found her-barely seventeen, all scars and silence, with no record of her existence before age five. She doesn't speak of where she came from. But when Rip Wheeler stumbles across her on the edge of the ranch, bleeding and half-conscious, he brings her back-against every instinct but one: protect her. What begins as a reluctant act of mercy turns into something deeper as the Duttons start unraveling the truth. Cassidy's file, pulled by Jamie, reveals a history soaked in horror-sealed hospital records, sterilization at thirteen, SA reports, forced silence by the system, and a father among her abusers. She was supposed to disappear. She didn't. Now, the Dutton Ranch becomes more than just a place to heal. It becomes a battleground for Cassidy's survival, and maybe... her redemption. But healing isn't quiet. It's angry. It's raw. And it's coming for everyone who ever hurt her. ⚠️ Trigger Warnings: This fanfiction contains graphic references to childhood sexual abuse, trafficking, rape, self-harm, forced sterilization, eating disorders, PTSD, mental health struggles, violence, and systemic failure.
