So i decided to write a fanfiction off of Jericho! Many events will be the same, all of the characters will be in it, and my OC. Reviews inspire me to continue guys!
For awhile, this is taking place before Jake left Jericho, and theres going to be a change in plot! sorry if I'm out of character a lot D: this is my first time writing them!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Jericho or the characters. I do own my OC.
A long road.
One the seemed to go on forever.
On either side is sand, with no view of a town anywhere.
A place where days are hot, and nights are cold.
This is where is all began.
This is where people's lives changed.
This is where a child was left, never meant to survive.
She walked the road, only a the age of five. Left by her parents, never wanting her in the first place. Promised joy, but left alone with pain.
She walked, for days. Cars passed, non stopping. None, not one. She walked.
Of course, these were the younger days for Jake Green. Someone who hadn't quite figured oh his life yet, and was on the wrong path. It would change later, but his choices in his present would cause things to be completely different.
Driving down the long road back to his Kansas home, he couldn't help but notice the child walking along. Was she lost? He hadn't seen her before...
Pulling over, he walked to the child. She seemed shaken, but not entirely afraid.
"...hey...what are you doing out here?" He asked gently, taking her hand to lead her to his truck. She looked at him skeptically, allowing him to lead her. "...my parents. They left me here. I don't think they're coming back..."
This is where it began.
"Well... I'll just... Take you back to my home then... Maybe my family can help you out...?" Jake suggested, half to himself, half to her as he got in the truck himself. They drove, down the lonely road where she had been abandoned. Turning her head to him, she watched him carefully, as if taking note of someone special. "...what's your name mister?" She asked quietly, suddenly a little more shy. A sma smile cracking on his face, he continued watching the road. "My names Jake. Jake Green. What's yours?"
She looked out the window, noticing a town ahead.
"I don't have one sir, not anymore. Maybe you'll think of one for me later?"
As they entered town, she shied down in her seat, noticing faces looking at her. She blinked in fear, trying not to be seen.
"Hey, no need to be afraid." Jake laughed. "This is Jericho, and if you're right about your parents, this is going to be your new home."
"And all the people that you see out there? They're your family. They'll love you, you'll love them, they'll protect you. And one day when you're old enough you'll protect them, too! But enough of that. I suppose it's time we met with my family."
