The Quarry

You're absolutely welcome to request again! Here's a snippet of a Travis and Laura bodyswap fic.


Maybe he’s dreaming. But he’s been dreaming for days, and the moon is full tonight. If there’s any chance that this is real, that he’s actually living as this young lady, he can’t let the month slip by without hunting.

She’s carrying some cash, but not a lot, not shotgun money. He left the key to his gun safe with his body, so he’ll need to head to the family home, grab a weapon from there.

His family’s going to have questions, obviously, a stranger turning up and claiming to be their son. He’ll just have to figure it out.

The journey takes longer than he was hoping; he makes it when the moon’s already high in the sky, he’s lost valuable time. But he makes it.

He’s almost to the door when he hears the gunshot.

He doesn’t think; he just hurtles into the woods after the noise. A gunshot means there’s something to shoot at, means maybe someone’s come across Silas, and it hits him too late that he doesn’t have a weapon; he’s no use here.

But, if they’ve found Silas, he needs to know.

The girl’s young, she’s quick on her feet, and she carries him in seconds to the source of the gunshot. To Silas.

To Silas, lying human and dead. To the end of his family’s curse.

He can’t let himself believe it. He could still be dreaming.

He looks up, breathing hard, to see which of them ended it, and he finds himself looking straight into his own eyes.
