Life is Strange: Broken Angel
Chapter 1 of my new Life is Strange story, just something I thought I'd try, some crucial events leading up to the game and events of certain parts of the game itself, from the POV of another character than Max, Kate Marsh. We will see how I picture the things she went through, her thoughts and such, hope you enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Life is Strange or its characters.
Chapter 1
Sitting in her dorm room, Kate Marsh was lost in thought and more than a little worried.
'Was this really such a good idea, I mean...what if...' She thought herself wondering. 'Oh there I go again, just once, I'd like to be able to do something, without being afraid.'
All the same, she wasn't entirely sure that she should have agreed to this. In an effort to try and fit in, after so long being bullied by fellow students at Blackwell Academy, she had agreed to come to a party hosted by the exclusive Vortex Club.
The trouble was, most of the bullies she faced were part of the club; perhaps that was why she agreed. Maybe it was simply hope, hope that, if she spent time with them, they would leave her alone.
She shook her head. 'But still, me, at a party, the things I've heard...what goes on at these parties...'
She composed herself; she had to stop thinking like that; she couldn't let people walk over her all her life; she couldn't allow herself to be intimidated; she prayed for God to give her strength and also to protect her while here, she had to ensure she remained above reproach, she had her own personal vows to consider; she couldn't let anybody pressure her into forgetting them.
So it was she finally got ready and prepared to make her way to the party venue.
Arriving at the party Kate instantly felt overwhelmed by the noise; she cringed.
'God this it, I just got here and already I'm...' She thought worriedly.
Her one consolation was nobody seemed to have noticed her presence, or, if they did, they weren't making an issue of it. This certainly helped a little, the last thing she wanted was unwanted attention while still trying to find her feet so to speak.
She moved as unobtrusively as possible through the crowd, trying to find somewhere to at least take everything in before she considered what to actually do. So it was Kate soon found herself standing in one of the corners, cringing as she witnessed Victoria Chase and her minions picking on another girl.
'She just never changes and to think, I was hoping to come here to get her to lay off me.' Kate thought sadly.
"Kate..."
She turned, a little startled and a little worried, the person approaching her was smiling softly. Kate recognized her well enough, Dana Ward, Blackwell's head cheerleader and certainly the nicest person Kate had heard of in the Vortex Club.
"Um, hi Dana."
The girl grinned. "It's good to see you, how are you doing?"
Taking a small sip of red wine, the only alcoholic beverage she had touched, Kate shrugged. "Alright I guess..."
Dana nodded sympathetically. "It does take some getting used too. If I can help out, just let me know, I'll be around."
Kate nodded and watched as Dana mingled with the other guests. She quietly admitted she wished she was a confident as Dana, who seemed to get along easily and so well with just about everyone.
Later Kate felt strange; after that one sip of red wine she had switched to drinking water. She had tried to mingle with others at the party, but now, now she was feeling dizzy, her vision was blurring then focusing then blurring again.
'What's wrong with me, have I, what…?' She wondered, even her thoughts felt jumbled.
She could barely speak; she was aware of people suddenly watching her, this wasn't what she pictured at all; she began to feel afraid. She had to get out of here, but she had no idea what way to turn, she felt almost unbearably hot, she could barely walk now.
She shuddered. 'What's happening to me, I can't be, I only had one...sip...'
It was then she felt someone take her arm, heard her name being said.
'That voice...' She realized. 'Nathan Prescott…?'
He seemed to be offering her help; but before she could respond, Kate simply blacked out.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
