Part 1
2004.
Branches were being pushed out of the way, rustling as leaves ripped off them. A young girl was running through the forest, panting heavily, looking back every so often, but no-one was following her. Her hair long brown hair was tied back and was waving as the wind brushed past her face. She stopped to catch her breath, twirling round and round, looking in every direction. She took one last deep breath and smiled, almost collapsing onto the hard forest floor. She removed her rucksack of her back then dug her hand into it, running her hand through the contents. She took out a water bottle, she felt relieved as the water touched her dry lips, turning them wet and cold.
The girl sat back against a large tree trunk staring up through the waving branches, as the sun tried to push its way through the small gaps. This is the first time in hours she had time to relax. There was no noise apart from the odd animal scurrying and the birds singing happily above her. Suddenly she heard shouting making its way through the trees. She stood up quickly, stuffed he bottle back into the rucksack and started running while pulling it onto her back.
Running through the small dirt ridden path, the girl ducked and jumped to avoid obstacles as five men followed her. Police. They were shouting louder at her now, getting closer as the girl grew more and more tired.
"Stop Jess! We're not going to hurt you! You're not in trouble!" The policemen were shouting.
They were now running on a much larger path. The edge of the forest was getting much closer. If only she could just get into the open, she thought to herself. She smiled to herself as she ran out into the open. She bent down, putting her hands on her knees, panting heavily catching her breath. She was standing in a caravan park.
