Summary
It's the summer of '69. Chastity Sawyer, second-oldest of the Sawyer sisters of Newt, Texas, has managed to get away from her hometown and make it in the big city out west. She hasn't been succeeding that well so far, but she'll manage, as long as she can control her natural urges. Soon, she just might find what she's looking for even if she doesn't know what that is yet - or how it's going to end.
Or: In another world, one of the four Sawyer sisters would probably have different reasons for not being home with her family in 1973. Here's a look at what she might have been up to around that time instead.Series

Summary
Chastity Sawyer, second-oldest of the Sawyer sisters, has moved out west and joined a murder cult (as one does), and she's finally been assigned her first real assassination mission. Unfortunately, mistakes are often made in situations like this, and those have consequences out here. Fortunately, Chass can bounce back fairly quickly.

Summary
After finally moving away from the hometown and family she'd been afraid of being trapped with her entire life, Chastity Sawyer, second-oldest of the not-yet-infamous Sawyer sisters, went to California, joined a cult, fell in love, killed some more people, and discovered that she wasn't as into the whole cult thing as she thought she was just in time for a major bombshell about their future plans to drop. In order to get out of this one, she may have to do something she'll regret, which would hardly be the first time.
Or, in the conclusion of this part of the backstory, Chass tries to save some lives for once at the cost of finally getting her skull caved in. Wait and see to find out how that happened soon enough.
