Roads Untraveled (RDR2 Fanfiction)

Being on the run for such a prolonged period is undeniably challenging, especially when faced with the constant struggle of insufficient funds to afford basic necessities, inadequate clothing to stay warm, and the absence of any support from allies or family. My mother died when I was very young. My sister has left with her partner, heading towards a distant location, ensuring their safety.

I was compelled to take the extreme step of killing my father, as he posed a grave threat to our lives. Though it was purely an act of self-defense, the law, bounty hunters, and the Pinkertons are unaware of the circumstances and likely wouldn't consider that relevant. Certainly not Leviticus Cornwall. He would never give up the search to find the murderer of his brother, Eleanor Cornwall.

It has been almost a year since, every day is a challenge. Cut my hair short and change my identity, Max Winters, or "The Boy". Perhaps I just need to find the right people to trust. I can't be on my own forever, can I? But who can I trust? And how long can I keep up this charade, hide who I really am?
