Chapter I: "First You Dream and Then You Die"

[This is a reimagining/Alternate Universe of the TV show "Bates Motel" on A&E with the addition of two characters: Loretta Massett and Mellie Bates. This is *NOT* canon. However, I am trying to the best of my ability to follow the show's initial plot, the only changes will be due to the new characters.]

Four years after moving out with her sixteen-year-old half-sister, Mellie, twenty-two-year-old Loretta Massett decides to give her mother, Norma, a second chance after having received a call saying she's starting her life over. It's not long, however, before Loretta and Mellie realize they've gotten way more than they've bargained for.
