I'm a big fan of the Life is Strange games, I've seriously got a soft spot for Sean and Daniel. But as always my brain starts tickling and I get story ideas, I'm going to take a different route this time though. This will be my next project when I've finished A Wolf In Sheeps Clothing, I thought I'd post one chapter to see how it goes.
I've got an idea for an oc, it would be cool to try and do a romance fanfiction for once if I don't mess it up. I could make it tragic or happy, I've gotten most of the endings in Life Is Strange 2 and I prefer the ending where the Wolf Brothers make it Mexico even if they turn to criminal activities.
-I don't own the Life Is Strange series.
-Please be patient with me - My laptop charger died, I have to write everything on my phone now.
-I have no idea how long this fanfiction will be, maybe I got write it in a way where the reader gets to decide the way the story will be told in some chapters- I could give choices, bad and good decision.
-Why don't they have Life Is Strange 2 characters on here in the characters part?
Stay safe and Enjoy!
Chapter 3!
Away, Arizona.
The meeting had taken place like Karen had planned, she told the desert community about Daniel's powers. They had been freaked out at first and many questions had been asked, but Daniel's sweet nature soon won them over. He wasn't a bad person, he couldn't help being different. He was unique and dealing with issues that were far bigger than himself, they all promised to keep their location secret from the local law enforcement.
Sean ensured everyone that Daniel wouldn't harm anyone in the community, they just needed a place to hide until they were ready to continue their journey to Mexico. Mostly everyone knew about what they had been through in the last few months, their Father's death had been an accident. Karen believed that her children were innocent, the tragic events that happened in Seattle wasn't their fault.
Gemini had gone to the meeting with her Uncles, she had witnessed what Daniel could do outside of Karen's trailer home with the rocket ship. She had been wary at first about his powers, it would take the community time to get use to them. She had spoken Karen after the meeting, she just wanted her boys to fit in while they stayed in the community. Gemini understood why Karen wanted normality for her children, they were only going to be Arizona for a short time but she wanted their stay to be normal as possible.
Two days had passed since the meeting, the community was calm and just getting on with their daily lives. Gemini was in her bedroom, she was finishing the last of her maths homework before she was allowed to relax for the day. She had been home schooled since she had moved to Arizona with her Uncles, it was better than being at high school. Leaning on her hand Gemini tapped her pencil against her desk, she was stuck on one of the mathematical problems. But without any warning something landed on her desk, she jumped and moved her chair away from the desk with her feet in case it was a big bug. It turned out to be a Chock-O-Crisp on top of her homework, she couldn't help but sigh with relief. Looking around her bedroom she soon spotted the person behind the little surprise on her desk, her gaze lingered on her open window.
" Daniel?" Gemini asked, she tilted her head to one side. " What are you doing out there?"
Gemini could see the top of Daniel's head from where she was sitting, he soon peered over the window sill and stared her. All she could see were his eyes and nose, his fingers soon curled over her wooden window sill. He didn't say anything to her at first, he just watched her until he decided to show his whole face. He looked sheepish, she had no idea what he was up to outside of her window.
" Hello." Daniel said.
" Is there something wrong?" Gemini asked.
" I'm here to say sorry about the rocket ship incident, I should have known better." Daniel replied while he pulled some flaky white paint from the window frame. " Sean is right, I never think before I do stuff..."
" Don't beat yourself up over it, Daniel." Gemini said with a kind smile. " We've all made mistakes, don't worry about it. I mean I was freaked out about your powers at first, but now when I think about it I kind of think it's pretty cool."
" Really?" Daniel asked.
" Yeah, you're like a mini superhero." Gemini replied.
Daniel smiled at Gemini's compliment, he then told her that his superhero name was Super Wolf. Gemini listened to Daniel telling her about a boy named Chris while she took the candy bar from her desk, she then got up from her chair and walked over to her open window.
" I'm not sure if Chris is my friend anymore though, I lied to him..." Daniel said with a sigh. " I just hope he's okay, he was... hit by a car while me and Sean were escaping from our Grandparent's house. We've heard no news about him, I wish I knew if he was okay."
" That's awful, I'm so sorry to hear that." Gemini said before she knelt in front of the window and held the candy bar towards him. " Here, I think you need this Chock-O-Crisp more than me right now."
" It's fine, you can keep it." Daniel said.
Gemini smiled at Daniel, she felt sorry for the young boy. He had been through so much in the last few months, he wasn't a bad kid. Gemini didn't know Daniel and Sean that well, the newspapers made them sound that villains. But Karen told everyone that they were innocent, they had been in the wrong place at the wrong time.
" Do you want to come in?" Gemini asked. " I've got some old comic books if you want them, they're not Power Bear or Hawt Dog Man comics. I'm not sure if you like Snoopy, but he's one cool pup."
" Sure, I mean thanks!" Daniel replied.
Gemini told Daniel to met her at the front door, he soon hurried away and knocked at the front door before Gemini even had a chance to leave her bedroom. She soon heard Stanley's voice coming from the other room, it seemed like he had beaten her to the front door first. She left her bedroom and made her way to the living room area, her Uncle Stanley was already talking with Daniel.
" Look who's come to visit us, it's Karen's youngest Son." Stanley said.
" I know, I just invited him in." Gemini said with a smile. " He's here to give my old comic books a new home, it's about time they came out of retirement."
" Well isn't that nice, come on in young man." Stanley smiled.
Daniel was hesitant at first, but he soon entered their home. Stanley offered Daniel a drink, but he refused to have one. He told them that Sean would be looking for him soon, he'd left him a note but he told them that his big Brother worried about him sometimes. Gemini glanced over her shoulder when she heard her Uncle Arthur singing to himself while he left the bathroom, he was in a good mood.
" Hello Daniel." Arthur said.
" Hey." Daniel said.
" Come on Daniel, this way." Gemini said.
Gemini beckoned him to follow her, he soon hurried after her and entered her bedroom before she did. She was surprised how he knew which bedroom belonged to her, but it was easy to guess with the buildings layout and the purple wallpaper on her bedroom's wall. She walked towards her bookshelf and scanned the shelves while Daniel looked at the picture board above her bed, she soon heard him asking her many questions about the photographs and postcards pinned on the board.
" Who sent you all of these postcards?" Daniel asked.
" My cousin, she lives in New York." Gemini replied.
" So cool, I'd like to visit New York one day." Daniel said.
" Me too, I'd like to try one of those street vender hotdogs you see in the movies." Gemini said before she looked at Daniel over her shoulder. " Ketchup and mustard, hold the relish. Then a side of curly fries and a banana milkshake, also doughnuts covered in powered sugar."
" Stop, you're making me hungry!" Daniel smiled.
" Sorry, I get carried away sometimes when I talk about food." Gemini said with smile. " Just don't get me started on the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, I love that movie so much! It's been a favourite of mine since I was a kid."
" I've never seen it." Daniel said.
" I can borrow you the dvd sometime if you want, it's around here somewhere." Gemini said.
" I'd like that, thanks." Daniel said.
" It's cool." Gemini said.
" And who's the girl with you in this photo?" Daniel asked, he pointed at a photograph by one of the postcards. " You look similar, is she your older Sister?"
" That's my cousin Becky, she's Arthur's Daughter." Gemini replied while she took the pile of her old comic books from the middle shelf. " She lives in New York, she visits sometimes with her boyfriend."
" Oh, and who is this?" Daniel asked.
Gemini walked over to Daniel and looked at the photograph he was looking at on her picture board, she told him the woman in the photograph was her Mother. Daniel immediately questioned her about her Mother, she told him that her Mom had passed away from cancer when she was a kid. Daniel's facial features saddened, he sat on the edge of the bed and cupped his hands together with a deep sigh.
" My Dad is dead too..." Daniel said.
" I know, I'm sorry about your Dad." Gemini said, she placed the pile of comic books next to him on the bed. " It's horrible losing a parent, especially in a tragic way."
" I think it was my fault, but Sean said it was an accident..." Daniel said.
Gemini kindly smiled at Daniel and sat down next to her old comic books, she didn't really know what to say to him. She had only read about what had happened in Seattle online, there was many rumours floating around about the incident. Murder, police brutality and racism. There had been two deaths that day, she felt sorry for the police officer's family too. They sat in silence for a few moments, but Gemini soon broke the silence between them.
" Do you want me to carry my old comic books back to your Mom's trailer home for you?" Gemini asked before she touched his shoulder. " We can talk if you want..."
" It's fine, I can do it by myself." Daniel replied.
Daniel slid from the bed and used his powers to float the pile of comic books in the air, but he did ask Gemini to walk him back to his trailer home. He told her he'd need someone to open the doors for him since he was still learning to mutlitask with his powers, she agreed to go with him while she got up from her bed. Gemini took the lead, she guided him through her house and showed him a few paintings that her Uncle Arthur had painted of the canyons. Her Uncles were sitting on the couch, they were watching a cooking show together and discussing what they would be preparing for dinner.
" I'll be back sec, I'm walking Daniel home!" Gemini said.
" Okay hunny." Stanley said.
" Bye Daniel." Arthur said.
Daniel said goodbye to Stanley and Arthur while Gemini opened the front door for him, she let him go through the doorway first because she was putting her flip flops on. The heat of the desert soon hit them both, she heard Daniel saying that it was way too hot in the desert for him. She couldn't agree more with him, she missed the cold weather sometimes.
" Tell me about it, I do miss the rain sometimes." Gemini said.
" I wish there was a swimming pool here, that would be so cool.' Daniel said.
" Defiantly cool!" Gemini smiled.
They kept on walking together until they reached Karen's trailer home, the door was wide open when they got there. It looked like no one was at home, the trailer was empty. Daniel made his way up the steps with the comic books floating in front of him, he careful lowered the comic books and landed them on the couch. Gemini had never seen the inside of Karen's trailer home before, it was messy and it looked like someone had been using the couch as a bed.
" Thanks for walking me back, I'll be fine by myself." Daniel said, he sat down on the couch and took one of the comic books from the pile " My Mom and Sean will be back soon, I think they mentioned something about visiting Joan."
" I'll stay a little bit longer if you want." Gemini said. " I've got nothing else to do today, it can be too quiet in Away sometimes."
" It's okay, I'll be fine." Daniel said.
" Well if you change your mind I'll be with Uncles." Gemini said.
" Okay, thanks again for the comic books." Daniel said.
" You're welcome, I'll catch you later." Gemini smiled.
Daniel waved to Gemini before she began walking back to her house, but she soon heard Daniel calling her name. He hurried down the steps of the trailer home and stopped her by grabbing hold of her arm, he then told her he had something to asked her. Daniel asked Gemini if she would like to come camping with him and Sean, they were going to watch the meteor shower in a few days time at the canyons.
" It would be cool if you could come with us, also we need a guide." Daniel said.
" What about Karen?" Gemini asked. " Wouldn't she like to take you camping?"
" She's busy with her blog that night." Dainel replied with a slight smile. " Also she thought it would be cool if you took us instead, you're more our age."
" Oh, I guess I could come with you then." Gemini said.
" Great!" Daniel smiled.
" But you'll have to ask your big Brother first, three can be crowd sometimes." Gemini said while she looked down at the boy. " I'd like to come with you, it would be nice to hangout with you guys. I could ask to borrow my Uncle Arthur's telescope, he likes stargazing."
" Great, I'll ask Sean!" Daniel said before he let go of her arm. " He'll say yes, trust me."
" Okay, I'll leave the invite with you then." Gemini smiled.
Daniel soon hurried back to his Mom's trailer home, he seemed happy that she had agreed to go camping with them in the canyons. It had been sometime since she had hung out with people near her own age, it would make a change instead of hanging out with her middle aged Uncles. Gemini hurried back to her home and spent the rest of the day with her Uncles, they were fine about her camping trip with Sean and Daniel.
