It's been a few days since I started on my tattoo. It was finally finished. I planned on showing Dom tonight.

"They are at the club today. The Saints are having a meeting with Logan there." Emily said bouncing Dorian. I was surprised she wasn't there. Wherever Alpha was, Emily wasn't far.

"Where's the girls?" I asked.

"They are decorating." Emily pointed upstairs.

"Perfect timing, let's go." Cowboy said when he saw me.

"What?" Emily asked. Exactly what I was thinking.

"The guys want you at the club now." Cowboy explained. Emily nodded and disappeared down the hall. When she came back she was holding a backpack and the baby carrier for Dorian.

"Ok." Emily smiled.

"Girls!" Cowboy yelled for the others. They quickly made their way down.

"What? We are getting in the Christmas spirit!" Hannah exclaimed.

"Well you can do that at the club, let's go." Cowboy said and turned.

"What's happening?" Vanessa asked. I shrugged. I had no idea. I hoped everything was ok.

Once at the club, everything was crazy. Vanessa ran to some man and hugged him, to which Ghost was not happy about.

"Stop it!" Vanessa slapped Ghost's hand away.

"Who the hell are you?" Ghost asked the man.

"I'm Vincent. Vanessa's twin." He said. I smiled. Finally, a family reunited.

"I missed you!" Vanessa sobbed. I guess being departed for a close sibling would do that. Luckily I didn't have siblings. I can only imagine the trauma they would have gone through.

"Did you know?" Ghost asked Alpha. Alpha shrugged taking Dorian from Emily.

"This is not the only reason we called you here." Logan said from where he was sitting. Dominic was sitting at the bar, staring at me.

"Did something happen?" Josie asked. Logan shook his head.

"No. I wanted you girls to meet the Saints." Logan said. I guess I just noticed the five men sitting at the table. "Girls, meet Pater, Grim, Crux, Spirit, and Apostle." Logan introduced. It seems that Pater is their prez. Grim we've seen. Crux was like Dom, their Sargent at Arms. Apostle was their road captain. They all seemed nice enough.

"Expecting someone else?" Crux asked pouting to the door. A red SUV pulled up to the door before a man stepped out. A very familiar man. Immediately Dominic was at my side.

"Why the fuck are you here?" Ghost asked. The saints all stood up at the obvious threat walking towards us.

"I'm here for my daughter. She needs to go back to dance. Her life is being thrown away by you pigs!" My father yelled. I felt like I couldn't move. I didn't know how dangerous he was today.

"She is just fine here." Hannah huffed.

"Shut up bitch." Henry, my father spit. Oh no.

"Get the fuck out!" Rogue stood up. He was already reaching for his gun. Henry pulled one out too.

"Stop!" I yelled. I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me. "Don't hurt anyone, I'll go." I said. Dominic wrapped an arm around me and refused to let go.

"You haven't changed. Such and obedient girl." Henry glared at Dom.

"You want to steal someone's money, go work in the fucking government!" Dominic growled out. Henry did not like that. He raised his gun towards Dom's head.

"No, no. I'll go." I said again. "Just lower the gun." I pleaded.

"Let's go." Henry called me over. I slowly walked over to him, trying to be cautious.

As soon as I was in front of him he grabbed my arm. I looked back at the family I had made in the last few months. This might be the last time I see them. Dominic looked ready to through a fit. Oh no. What if he does? He might hurt someone.

Henry yanked my arm as he threw me in the car. I guess this is it. I'll have to start loosing my money again. I'll never escape.

"Just to be sure." I turned confused to see Henry coming at me with the bottom of the gun. Than everything went dark.

When I finally woke up I got a feeling of deja vu. This time though, I was in a bedroom. It wasn't one I recognized; and the window looked out to a forest. My father lives in town.

I got up and tried the window. It was bolted shut. I sighed. Guess I am stuck wherever this is.

At least the club doesn't have to worry about Henry anymore. And even though I gave myself up, I hope the come find me. I don't know what he's going to do to me this time. What is he going to do about the tattoo? He can't get rid of it now that's it's there... right?

I already miss Dominic. Was it too early to feel attached? We haven't even done "it" yet.

I feel like I've been stuck in this room for ages. How long has it really been? Has he had to knock me out again? Maybe this is a dream. I pinched my arm. Nope not a dream.

"Get ready, bitch. Your class starts in an hour." I heard Henry yell. He was angrier than I remember him being. Maybe I shouldn't have run away in the first place.

I sighed when I noticed a bag sitting on a chair. It clearly had my ballet clothes. I pulled them on as quickly as possible only to realize my tattoo was clearly shown. I still had the bandages on though. Maybe I could say I hurt myself. It's infected or something.

I knocked on the door after finding it locked. I used to have to knock if I wanted food or something. I guess it's a habit now.

"Let's go." Henry pulled me out of the house and back into his red SUV. I checked my surroundings as best I could. I didn't dare ask where we were.

Lots and lots of trees surrounded the house. It was a one story with a one car garage. It was sort of like a cabin. It was bare with little upkeep. Clearly it was not taken care of.

As we drove down the road I noticed signs. "11 miles until Windham", "21 miles until Portland". And many more like that.

Wait... Portland! We are either in Maine or Oregon. Oh no. I really hope it's the latter. How would he get me all the way to Maine!

"Alright, be good, make a good impression." Henry said and basically kicked me out of the car.

I grasped my bag as I stared at the giant building before me. I hope this goes well.
