Note: This is my rewriting of history, and essentially a "what if" story. This fanfic was inspired by the movie "Thelma and Louise" and a Spanish film called "Dispara". Some of the dialogue is spoken in Spanish, although I'll try to add translation in the comment boxes. Also, this story goes to some dark places, including an attempted rape scene. So if you don't want to read that, nows the time to bail. But if not, please read with caution. With that said, I do some interesting things with the characters, especially Cynthia, and I think you'll find it intriguing (at least I hope so). Enjoy.
Description: Set in 1973 during the Lost Weekend, Cynthia and Julian come to America to visit John and his new girlfriend, May Pang. What starts out as a simple visit, soon becomes a violent nightmare. When Cynthia and May are attacked by a vicious man, it's up to Cynthia to find the strength within herself to fight back. This leads her down a path of danger and fear, as she's being pursued by the authorities, and John and the gang are trying to find her. But Cynthia is wounded and getting weaker by the moment. And in a place as big as California ...is there any chance of finding her?

Will Mikhaela cling to her quiet sanctuary as an anonymous introvert, or transform herself to win Maraiah's heart?
