a bad day

This is my first story and I just wanted to give it a try. So don’t be too hard on me.
I love claire mcleod, and I’ve always wanted to see something like this happen in the show. So now i’m writing it. It’s short, not really detailed.

Summary: after this day claire’s life will never be the same again.

“are you sure you don’t wanna come along” Tess shouted towards claire who was busy doing a hundred things at the same time as usual. Tess, meg and Jodi were going into town for some shopping. They were having a dinner party that night. The Ryan boys were also coming so that always meant a fun night. “You know I hate shopping” Claire retorted. “You just go have fun and don’t hurry back, so I can finally get some work done ‘round here”. “Allright” Tess sighed. “Are you sure you’re okay here on your own” Tess wondered. “I’m not on my own, I’ve Roy with me, now will you go”. Claire said annoyed while petting roy. Claire watched them leave untill she could see nothing but dust rising from the ute. It was hot that day on drovers run, so she wore a simple sleeveless white shirt and her baggy trousers. She wasn’t one with the fancy clothes. Especially not on a farm. An hour went by when Claire all dirty from the sand noticed that she hadn’t seen roy for a while now. She started looking around her. “stupid dog” she muthered to herself. but she couldn’t help but wonder where he was. “ This is not like Roy” she thought. So she started to look around. She was over by the horse’s pen and walked towards the stables. “roy, come here boy” she wistled. As she came nearer to the stables, she heard roy soflty barking. “roy?” she walked inside the barn, which was kinda nice, it wasn’t so warm in here. It was really quite big for a barn. She followed the noises that roy made, and it let her to one of the cages. Roy was in one of the cages but the cage door was shut. “how in the world did you manage that” claire said to roy unlocking the door. The door was still half locked when Roy suddenly started barking. But it was too late. A man approached Claire from behind and grabbed her. He threw one arm completely around her, which he could do easily. He is twice the size claire is. And one hand over her mouth. Claire started to kick and tried to scream but to no avail. This guy was really strong, especially for a petit woman like claire. She kicked him really hard against his legs but he didn’t seem to feel it. He dragged her backwards towards an quieter place of the barn behind some hay bales. He then tried to wrestle her to the ground but then claire managed to kick him hard enough to let her go. She made a run for it. “Help someone, help me”
She yelled as hard as she could. That still unknown man caught up with her. He grabbed her arm and painfully swung her around to face him. He painfully held her by her arms and said “I know no one is here claire, I saw them leave”. He then threw her back behind the hay bales. She landed hard on her back on the floor. She grunted a little bit from the pain. He quickly straddled her before she could stand up again. She started to fight him again. Her legs were immobilized because he sat on her lower waist. But with her arms still free she hit him where she could. He managed to grab her wrists and he wrestled them over her head. Claire then got exhausted from fighting him. “who are you and what do you want from me” she managed to say still breathing heavy. Claire finally took her time to look at him. He didn’t seem familair to her. he was a really tall and strong man who wasn’t from around here. She could tell by his clothes and his neatly cut hair. “You and I have someone in common” he then spoke.
“He was my best friend when we grew up, untill he betrayed me” “By messing around with my girlfriend, that bastard! “And then when passing through guess who I run into” Claire still didn’t know whom he was talking about. “He walked in the pub with you by his side as his new girlfriend” “Alex!?” she said. “Yes, your Alex, but when I saw you come in....” He went into thoughts for a moment. “You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen” Claire started to get more scared as he went on with his story. “I thought to myself” when he locked eyes with Claire. “I have to have her”. Claire then fully realized his intentions. She frantically started to fight him again. But nothing. “You can fight me all you want, but this is gonna happen” He started to squeeze her wrists harder and placed them in one hand. With his free hand he started to slide up her shirt. “Oh god, no please” she pleaded “Please don’t do this” She started to struggle with all her might, which made it harder for him to continue. But he managed to wriggle her shirt up revealing her black bra. “Oh wow, you’re even more beautiful then I imagined” he let his hand slide under her bra. “no stop!, please” The first tears started to drop. She still tried to fight him off, but he was just to strong. His hand was grinding in her wrists. Then he moved to unbutton her pants. “Someone please help me, help me” she screamed hoping they returned sooner then she thought. He grabbed her troat and squeezed tightly. “Stop screaming, or you’re forcing me to use this” he said when revealing a knife.
She gasped for air when he let her throat go. His hand mark remained on her throat. He put the knife against her throat when he moved off of her. Making sure she wasn’t going anywhere. When he got up he could take off her pants. “Mmm, matching black underwear” he said. “how sexy”. Claire was still crying softly praying her sister would come home. He made her spread her legs. He got in between them and opened his own pants. He moved in position but unaware removed the knife from her throat. Then she saw a chance and she knocked the knife from his hand. She struggled to get up and get the knife first. He quickly reacted and grabbed her wrists again. Holding them above her head. Then he made his move, he rammed himself inside her. She screamed as loud as she could. “aahh stop, oh god please stop”
She kept on screaming but he didn’t care anymore, there was no one around anyway.
She had never felt this much pain, she couldn’t stop crying. He felt like he was in heaven, he wanted this girl for a long time, now she finally was his. When he felt he was about to come he pulled out and he came on top of her. Claire just lay there, broken. Her face had turned white. He got off of her and zipped his pants shut. “get up!” he said angry. She didn’t respond. He bent down and grabbed her already bruised arms. He held her against his body. She then turned her head and looked at him. She spit him in his face. “You filthy bitch” he yelled. He backhanded her and she fell backwards on the ground. Blood trickled down from her lip. She then regained herself and quickly put her pants back on. He approached her and grabbed her throat and pushed her against the wall. She grunted from all the pain she was feeling right now. He heard a car approaching and looked over his shoulder. Claire looked to and saw that it was tess. He looked at her again. “You were excellent, we should do this again sometime”he said with an evil grin. “give my best to Alex will you”. He let his tongue slide over her lips tasting the blood. “mmm, delicious” he smiled. Then he let her go and ran using the back exit. He soon disappeared in the woods. The girls were already unloading the ute. Claire stumbled outside the shed, when Tess saw her. “Claire?” she said. Then the other girls saw her too. Claire fell to her knees, unable to walk any further. “Oh my god Claire” Tess yelled when she ran to her sister. The other girls followed. Tess quickly sat by Claire and looked at her bruisings. She could see clear hand marks around her throat and her wrists. Claire was shaking and was still pale. “Claire, what happened” But they all had their suspicions. Claire looked at Tess but said nothing. Tess decided to stop asking and helped claire back on her feet. Together with jodi she helped claire back to the house. “Can you leave us for a sec” Tess asked jodi kindly. “sure” she said as she went downstairs. Claire was sitting on her bed after being in the shower for an hour. Tess sat beside her on the bed. She let her fingers run through her sisters hair. “Claire please talk to me” Tess pleaded. Claire just looked the other way. Tess sighed “Alex is on his way, he doesn’t know what happened, but”
“Claire please look at me” claire turned to face her sister. She had tears in her eyes. “You were raped weren’t you” Tess whispered softly. That was the first time claire heard that word, and with that she broke down. “Oh my god” claire cried. “I’ve been raped”
