Rise of a Quartermaine
I will take all the constructive criticism in the world here seeing as how this is my first fan fiction story so I would appreciate all feedback and or criticism. This story in general is all about Lauren Frank, Franco's sixteen year old teenage daughter as she tries to find her place within the Quartermaine family but also finding out everything there is to know about her relatives but also dealing with the fact that her father Franco was a deranged sociopath who terrorized Port Charles
Chapter 1 (Los Angeles, California)
"Lauren I don't get why you want to go to Port Charles especially after you have heard all about what your father has done and the lengths I went to, to keep you from him", Lauren's mother Angela said. Lauren says to her mother Angela "I understand Mom why you did what you did taking me away from my father but I feel like it is my fault that he even did the things he did because I wasn't in his life."
Lauren's mother Angela then says to her that she clearly does not know her father as well as she does. Angela then tells Lauren all about her father's obsession with death as Angela kept tabs on her ex-husband Franco who she called Bobby when they were married and for good reason too just in case he ever tried to track her and Lauren down as they have moved from state to state before landing in Los Angeles just roughly over a year ago. Angela then tells Lauren all about Franco's obsession with his twin brother Lauren's uncle Jason Morgan and the fact that Franco terrorized Jason's friends and family even going as far as to tell her daughter Lauren about the fact that her father Franco was a murderer. Angela then tells Lauren that he also kidnapped people and even went as far as to raping Lauren's uncle's wife Sam McCall-Morgan. Lauren's reaction to all of this is one of complete shock because she didn't want to believe just who and or what her father truly was as she believed him to be a damaged man who did horrible, unspeakable things but only because of the fact that her and her mother left. Angela then tells Lauren that she is telling her all of this because she doesn't want Lauren to have any illusions about her father Franco but also because she wants Lauren to realize that she did all of this to protect her. Lauren then says to her mother "I guess that explains why we had to move all the time, why we couldn't stay in one place for more than too long right?"
Angela then tries to console her daughter Lauren but Lauren pushes her mother away. Lauren then runs past her mother and runs towards her bedroom door going into her bedroom slamming the door right behind her locking her bedroom door. Angela then realizes just what she did by telling her daughter Lauren the truth about what her father really was but she knew that it was for Lauren's own good.
Meanwhile back in Lauren's room she is seen crying cursing at the heavens wondering what she ever did to deserve a father like Franco but then she decides to go on her laptop researching her family the Quartermaines of Port Charles, New York finding out everything there is to know about each and every member of her family through newspaper articles, clippings, photos, and through the tabloids. After Lauren is done with her search on her laptop she shuts her laptop down closing it and putting it into her backpack. She then proceeds to put clothes into her backpack as she is clearly not thinking rationally as she is an emotional mess. She then proceeds to get a pen and paper from her bedside table and writes her mother a letter telling her that she is leaving Los Angeles to go to Port Charles, New York and to not even try to stop her because she then can find the answers she is truly looking for.
Lauren then sneaks out of her bedroom window climbing out of her window without making a sound as she runs away from home and as soon as she is out of her house she then proceeds to go to the bus station to try to get a bus out of L.A.
Lauren is then at the bus station as she pays her own way boarding a bus that is going to Port Charles, New York as she realizes that she needs to do this because this is the only way that she will find any peace within herself. Meanwhile back at Lauren's house, Lauren's mother Angela proceeds to go to her daughter's bedroom to try to talk to Lauren but she realizes that the door is locked and there's no sound at all. Angela then calls Lauren's name over and over again with no answer as she then decides to see if her daughter is even in her room as she does with Angela getting a bedroom key to unlock Lauren's door. Angela then comes in only to realize that her daughter Lauren is gone and that the bedroom window was left open but she finds a letter on Lauren's bed addressed to her. Angela then reads the letter as she realizes just where her daughter went as she is going crazy with worry but she is also looking like she is on the verge of tears too.
