A.N: Hey everyone! Welcome to my very first Fallout fanfic! I just started playing the games of the Fallout franchise and let me just tell you guys that I absolutely LOVE IT! My god I'm so addicted to these games! XD I figured that since I love the franchise so much, I should probably write a fanfic for this ^^ The games this story will be taking place in are Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, I don't own the characters, I only own my OC's yadda yadda yadda XDDD Sorry if this first chapter is a little boring, I need to do the setup if we're going to get to the actual story. If you like it, then favorite, follow, and review...Or not! XP and if you don't like it, please keep that to yourself ^^ Anywho, on with the show!
Capital Wasteland: 2277
Juliet panted and wheezed as she ran through the large landscape known as the Capital Wasteland. The nine year old girl was scared out of her wits at the noises all around her and the fact that it was nighttime and she was all alone. She continued to run and run until she was out of breath and her legs couldn't take it anymore. She collapsed on the ground exhausted trying to catch her breath, she looked around, the surrounding area was dark and quiet with the exception of a few creatures scurrying across the ground. Juliet then just curled up into a fetal position. She was so tired for she had been running for hours. She had barely escaped, they had almost gotten her but she managed to make it out alive.
...If only she could've said the same for her parents.
Juliet had a pretty good life in the Capital Wasteland, she had a roof over her head, loving parents, food in her stomach, she and her family were most certainly better off than some of the other families that they had seen around sometimes. Some would even come to their old ruined house (if you could even call it a house) begging them for food and shelter. Of course her parents would always help those in need, they taught her that if you always have a good heart and give to others, then they will give back to you.
Unfortunately that good life didn't last. For the night before, the house was attacked by feral ghouls. Her mom held her close while her dad barricaded all of the doors and windows hoping that it would be enough...but it wasn't...the ghouls were just too strong and there was no way to kill them all. When they busted in, her parents tried to fight them off with a lot of household objects. They told Juliet to run out of the house and to just keep running, and to not look back not even for a minute. She obeyed and ran out the back door and just ran for as long and far as her nine year old legs could carry her.
...Which leads her to now...
As the memories of her presumably deceased parents flashed through her mind, Juliet began to sob and hugged her knees closer to her chest and brushed a strand of blonde hair back breathing in shaky breaths. She really wished they were right there with her at that moment, holding her, telling her that everything was okay...She wanted to go back and make sure they were safe, but she knew that she couldn't go back...they told her to run, run far away and to not look back in case they didn't make it. She feared for them, worried that the ferals most likely devoured them. She had been running all day only stopping to rest every so often. But she didn't know what to do now. She had never felt so lost. Suddenly, the sounds of distant yelling and gunshots rung throughout the area startled her and sent her running again. She sprinted for a few more minutes until she tripped on a tree root and landed flat on her hands and knees.
She began to cry again, "What do I do?" She asked herself, "What do I do?"
Awww poor Juliet! :( Yeah, I know that was pretty short but that was just a prologue and the chapters will be A LOT longer believe me ^^ So it looks like things aren't going very well for Juliet...but don't worry, in the next chapter things will get better! :) Okay, until next time, see 'ya! ;)
