I was sitting on the front porch of my Uncle's club when about 25 bikes rode in the compound and parked. I just sat and watched. I didn't move. I was too tired.
I saw they were from the Panther MC. I watched as they turned their bikes off and looked at me. The president was an American Indian with long black hair that reached his waist.
My uncle walked out on the front porch with Beast and Tank.
"Black Eagle, good to see you again."
"Hunter nice too finally be here."
I looked at the woman on the swing. She had no emotions, her eyes sad, with no sparkle in them.
"I have one request, well not a request but order."
"That woman over there is not to be bothered, touched, or gone near."
"It you or any of your members break that rule you will have to leave."
Then I saw another woman walk out the door and over to the woman on the swing.
"She is my niece her name is Star."
We watched as the other woman helped her up and walked her into the house.
"Follow me inside, your mean will be served drinks."
I followed Hunter inside with my VP, who is my brother Tiger, and my enforcer, Anger walked to the VIP table and sat down. Beer was placed in front of us.
"Savage, how have you been." I asked him.
Better. About 20 minutes later the two women walked over to the table followed by a prospect carrying coffee. I watched as Savage lifted the woman they call Star and sat her on his lap. The prospect sat the coffee down in front of her. She had not said one word. I noticed that she was beautiful but, it was as if she had given up.
I felt her shaking and asked. "Star are you cold?" I looked at Savage and shook my head "yes."
"Prospect, bring Star a throw please."
The throw was brought to the table and I covered Star with it. I drank my coffee not looking at the new men. After I finished my coffee I leaned my head on Savage's shoulder.
I felt his, eyes on me but I was not scared. I don't know why, but I didn't care. I closed my eyes and fell asleep against Savage. We all wondered what made such a beautiful woman want to give up.
I was not interested in any man any more. I just wanted to be left alone. I must have slept an hour. As I was waking up, I heard Savage tell my uncle that this was the first time I slept without having nightmares.
I woke up and whispered, "I have to use the bathroom."
Savage lifted me to the floor and I walked to the ladies room. As I passed some of the new men, I heard them say it was too bad I was hands off. I was back sitting next to Savage when the door opened and two men walked in.
I looked up and saw him. The man that raped and beat me. I started shaking and grabbed on to Savage.
"Star, what's wrong?"
"It's him, Savage."
"Who?"
"The man who raped me."
I looked over at the man walking toward us. I stood up and crossed my arms.
"Who the fuck are you, and what do you want?"
"My name is Raven. I just want to talk to Star."
"That is not going to happen."
"And you need to leave before you die.'
Just than we watch her sit up and jump from the table. We followed her down the hallway to her room. We walked in and looked around.
"Where did she go Hunter?"
"Under the bed. I walked into the hall and yelled for Grace.
"She is under the bed again, isn't she?"
"Yes, she is."
"All because that raping son of a bitch had to come here."
We watched as Grace slid under the bed. It took her 15 minutes before Grace got Star to come out from under the bed. Back in the bar Savage was being pulled off Raven.
"You have 5 minutes to leave our club and never come back."
"Savage, I have to tell her how sorry I am for what I did to her."
"I found out the truth and now I am paying for what I did. I should never have done it."
"I was angry for thinking that Ripper raped my girlfriend."
"Maybe next you will investigate before touching another woman."
"Star is not the strong woman I met. She is a shell of herself."
"You do not know the half of it Raven."
"Now get the fuck out of my club."
We watched as Raven drove away from the club. I still see the fear and anxiety on Stars face when that son of a bitch walked over to our table.
