Escaped

She was supposed to be gone. Everyone thought so. But Rachel survived-and she's done being "that girl who went missing." In a town that believes she's six feet under, she carves out a new life, shedding her past like skin. But the storm, the dark room, and Chloe-the love she left behind-still haunt her, lingering in every reckless choice she makes. Older men, dangerous liaisons, and the thrill of using people for her own ends keep her alive, but only just. When a new presence enters her life, someone who may hold secrets-and powers-of their own, Rachel is forced to confront whether reinvention is enough, or if the past she ran from will always catch up.

(A life is strange 'what if' fanfic, but can be read as a standalone even if you have never played games, as back-story and context will be given throughout.)
