Running was starting to become more & more of a challenge. The longer she stayed in the city , the more ways it seemed there were for people to find her. Traffic cameras , security cameras in stores , the ways they could track down Anya Barnes in the city were endless. No , they needed to get more off the grid. They needed to find a way to disappear completely.

There was no record of Anastasia Barnes ever existing. Born in secret , & whisked away to where her & her brother would be imprisoned until they could be properly trained to obey. She got out , able to find a way to plan a rescue for the rest of her family. All they needed was a place to lay low until they could track down Jamie & their father. Then they could find their freedom somewhere nobody would ever find them.

The answer to Anya's problem was definitely in the country , away from the city & where there were ways for her to not be found. She just needed to find a way to stay out of the city. After a couple nights pouring over where to go , she started looking at National Parks. Yellowstone catching her attention right away. Plenty of wilderness to escape to. It was perfect.

Anya stole a truck , had some cash for gas , & took only what would fit in one duffle bag , before hitting the road. Anya was used to staying up for days on end. From a young age she made to do so. The drive from New York to Bozeman was going to be long , but they could more than handle the trip. They drove & didn't stop unless it was for gas or food. Small things she didn't have to wait for before hitting the road again. Before long she was finding her way to Montana , & like everyone who ever set foot in that state , marveled at how beautiful it was.

There wasn't a place in the state like it , that was for sure. Even Anya , who had seen some of the most magnificent mountains in all of Europe , found herself breathless for the first time from beauty. So much that they chose to pull that stolen truck to the side of the road to get a better look. Nobody was gonna find her out here. She could take a few moments. Turned out she wasn't the only one thinking it was a great place to pull over & check out the sights. Or someone else's property would be a better case.

Seeing the other vehicle pulled over , eyes squinted to try & focus more on what she was seeing. A group of men , all seeming to be dressed the same , & another that definitely wasn't one of them. Spend enough time working under a unit , & you started to pick out who was part of the group , & who wasn't. She thought to just keep going. The whole point of being here was not to get noticed , stopping to be a good Samaritan definitely got you noticed. She was about to keep going , till she spotted several weapons. This man was going to die , & something told her to stop & do something.

❝ Can't believe I'm fuckin doin this. ❞ She cursed to herself. Reaching for her knife & gun , before hopping out of the truck & charging for the group in the field. Measured feet too controlled strides down into the field. Noticing the cut wire where they must have gotten in , along with their truck not too far from her. The thought crossed her mind to sabotage the truck , but seeing how quickly this man was going to get beat to death made her think otherwise. When she was close enough to them to get their attention , she gave a click of her tongue. Once she had her attention , she gave a nod in the form of a challenge.

❝ Hey. ❞ That was the only warning those men got before a booted foot landed at the center of one of the men's chest , kicking him back a considerable amount , before pulling out a knife & looking at the other men now focused on her. They might have guns. But she didn't need one to put them in the ground. Instead of showing any fear , she narrowed her eyes at the men squaring up & smirked. ❝ You're gonna watch that & still think you're walkin outta here? ❞

Have you ever heard of the saying SEEING RED? That is literally what Anya was made to do for 90% of her existence. It's important to remember most of her childhood was spent being treated like an abused animal at best. Most of the time though , they were seen as a MACHINE. A machine that they only wanted to feel aggression. Since finding her freedom it's been a constant game of trying not to lose control. She's gotten fairly good at it over the years , but not every day is a perfect one.

She was still new to the ranch , & still very much getting used to the people found on that ranch. They knew the rules , no FIGHTING on the ranch. It was a simple rule , one that Anya could mostly follow. You would think a ranch hand would know not to approach an abused animal with anything but caution. He hadn't been working out very well , not getting along with the other wranglers on the Yellowstone , but they all held to the rule of not fighting. Anya wasn't something who was going to take it forever , & one day he learned how horrible of a mistake that was.

They were finishing up for the day , Anya was in the barn working on some lasso's that needed repairing. Hank had been poking & prodding at her all day , & all she wanted was to be left alone to work. Kayce had asked her to try to play nice with the wranglers , & to come get him if any of them stepped out of line. But Kayce wasn't there that day. They had been eyeing the wrangler since he came into the barn , watching him go to put his horse away , expecting him to take the hint & leave. Turns out he wasn't so smart.

What he had said she wouldn't remember when it was all over. She wouldn't even remember what SHE SAID when she had rudely told him to back the fuck up. The only thing she could remember was turning around , & a thud on the back of her head to stop her from leaving the confrontation. BIG MISTAKE. By the time she turned to face him fully , a powerful punch met his jaw. Knocking him down , she didn't stop there. The physical assault on her when she had been the one TRYING to leave had been the final straw. That sharp pain had been the final strike to turn off any self control they had in them at that point.

While Anya couldn't remember what she had done , but the wranglers who came running shortly after that first blow would remember all of it from that day on. By the time they got to them , he'd already suffered several broken ribs from kicks to his side. A couple of them tried to pull her off of him , but that only resulted in Ryan & Colby getting pushed off and hitting some stable doors in the process. They wouldn't suffer any last injuries. It was clear they needed more help in getting her off of Hank , which luckily the universe sent when Rip came running in , followed by Kayce shortly after as he had just gotten home. He wasn't dead yet , but he was about to be.

Anya had been on top of him by the time they had gotten there. Delivering blow after blow before starting to bash his head against the concrete. Hank died two minutes after they managed to get her off of him. While Anya would beat herself up for weeks about this , he had his death sentence coming before she even got there. As it turned out , he had been trying to get rid of all the loyal wranglers to the ranch , Anya being the one he had DECIDED to set his sites on. A mole within the ranch.

What he had said before hitting the back of her head … ❝You're gonna regret bein a problem for me.❞
