Reapers Creed MC: Damon's Salvation Page 13

  I entered the clubhouse and saw Sarah sitting on a chair, while Doc was stitching up her arm. I stood in front of her and asked, “What the fuck happened? Where're my woman and child?”

  She looked at me and started shaking. “I was outside with Leslie and suddenly a man appeared and grabbed her. I started screaming and Lyra came out. I tried to take Leslie back but the man took out a knife and cut me in the arm. I couldn’t do anything. Another one appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Lyra. I swear I tried to help them.” She was sobbing.

  I turned to the prospects and yelled, “Where were you, you pieces of shit? You were left here to look out for them!” I charged against the one who was closest to me and grabbed him by the throat.

  “Calm down, brother. Even if you kill him, it's not going to bring them back. We need everybody to help look for them. We’ll deal with them later. I’m calling the rest of the brothers.” Alex turned around and started walking outside to make the call.

  I raked my hands through my hair and suddenly heard the back door open. I took my gun out and turned around. I couldn’t believe what I saw. My beautiful girl came running through the door crying and when she saw me she threw herself in my arms.

  “Are you okay, baby? Where were you? Calm down.” I couldn’t understand what was going on.

  “Papa Pwetty, Sawah told me to hide and she no look for me. Is dawk and me scawe." She held me tight and buried her face in my neck.

  When I turned around Sarah was by my side and without thinking I put Leslie on the floor with the intention of questioning Sarah about what the fuck this was all about.

  In a second, Sarah grabbed Leslie and put a knife to her throat.

  “It wasn’t supposed to be like this. They were supposed to take the girl with them too. I was going to leave tomorrow and everything would have been okay. Now I’m going to take her with me as a guarantee that I am leaving this place alive.” The crying girl I'd seen when I walked through the door was gone and in her place was this woman holding my daughter at knife point. I put my hand close to my gun but didn’t make any sudden movements. I could see Alex walking in the room by the back door very silently.

  “Let her go and you can leave.” I was trying to distract her and tried to look calm while my heart was breaking because my daughter was crying and calling me.

  “Do I look stupid to you? I know as soon as I put her down you're going to kill me. She’s leaving with me. You were going to lose them both eventually. Gina was going to get rid of them.”

  “What does Gina have to do with all of this?” Before she could answer me, Gina came out of nowhere and shot Sarah. What the fuck? Sarah fell to the floor with my daughter still in her arms. Leslie started screaming and I ran to her. She didn’t realize what happened because she couldn’t hear the gun go off. I picked her up while hiding her face in my chest so she couldn’t see the scene in front of us. I told Alex to take care of cleaning and to lock Gina in one of the rooms with a prospect guarding the door until I could find out what was going on. With that being said, I went to my room with a hysterical little girl in my arms.

  When I entered my room, I went directly to the bathroom. Taking Leslie out of her bloody clothes, I filled the tub and put her in. She calmed down and I allowed her play in the tub for a little bit while I tried to cool down and figure out what the fuck had happened.

  I looked around the room and saw Lyra everywhere. It smelled like her and her things were all over the place. I couldn’t allow myself to wallow now. I had to find her and the only person that could tell me who had her, was dead.

  I punched the wall and welcomed the pain that radiated throughout my hand. My phone rang in that moment and when I looked at the caller ID, I saw that it was my dad. I answered it and after he told me they were on their way, I hung up and went to get my baby out of the tub. I put her in her purple pajamas and laid in bed with her for a while. It only took her ten minutes to fall asleep. She was exhausted. Lynda, one of the old ladies, opened the door and after hugging me, she went and sat on the bed. I looked at my baby one more time and went to look for Gina. She had a lot to explain.

  She was sitting on the bed when I entered the room.

  “Damon, I’m so sorry they took your woman but if you need help with your little angel let me know.” This bitch really had some nerve.

  “Cut the bullshit. I know how you feel about my woman and my kid. Tell me now what the hell was Sarah talking about and don’t you dare lie to me.” I was trying my best not to strangle her.

  “I may have said before that I didn’t want them here because they were taking you away from me, but I didn’t have anything to do with what happened today. I wasn’t even here. I came back tonight and when I was walking through the gates, I saw a dark sedan leaving. I waved at them because I thought they were some of the brothers.” She stood and tried to come close to me. I held up my hand.

  “Why did you kill her then? Help me understand, Gina, because the only thing I can see right now is that you needed to get rid of her. Like you were trying to prevent her from talking. And so help me God, if I find out you have anything to do with this, I’m ending you.” I was trying my best to remain calm but it was hard when my woman was God only knows where, with people that were doing God knows what to her.

  “I would never do anything to harm you. You know that because I love you. When I saw her with your girl in her arms I went crazy and the only thing that came to my mind was to save her for you. You should be a little more grateful you son of a bitch!” she yelled.

  I don’t believe in hitting women but at that moment, I was very tempted to. I turned around to leave the room but at the last minute I realized the only way to deal with a manipulative bitch was by manipulating her. So with a very calm voice and an even more calm expression, I told her, “Okay, Gina, sorry if I misjudged you. I’m just worried. Why don’t you try to rest? If I need your help with Leslie I’ll call you.” After that I turned and left.

  Alex was waiting for me in the main room and after telling him to keep an eye on Gina, I went to check on Leslie one more time. She was asleep in Lynda’s arms. I silently closed the door and went back to the common room. The old ladies were sorting everything and some of the brothers were gathering the guns. I was too fired up to sit or do anything else.

  One hour later I was pacing the room when my dad walked through the door and called for church.

  As soon as we were all inside the room and the doors were closed, he hit the gavel and said, “Okay, what do we know?”

  “Apparently for some reason the cameras were out when they took Damon’s woman. Looks like Sarah disconnected them and planned the whole thing,” James said, while his fingers flew through the keyboard. He was trying to connect Sarah with any of our enemies to see where we could start. It was fucked up that we were here sitting and planning, when my woman was being tortured or maybe even dead. I wanted to go and start looking for her, but didn’t have a clue where to start. I understood we needed at least a plan and an idea of what we were dealing with before we could do anything. I was also waiting for my ma to arrive so she could keep an eye on Leslie while we were looking for her mom.

  “I don’t know what happened and we will revisit this subject later. For now we wait for information. In the meantime, I called two other chapters and they are on their way. Alex, take a couple of brothers with you and start looking and asking around but be very discreet. I don’t want to rush these people into doing something drastic because they feel stuck between a rock and a hard place.” With that being said, he finished church and went outside to smoke.

  I was leaving the chapel, when I saw my little girl in the doorway. She was carrying her blankie and sucking her thumb. As soon as she saw me, she came running and jumped into my arms. I pulled her close to me. I needed to feel some type of control over the situation. I need reassurance that she was unharmed. The thought of losing her played havoc with my head. When I thought they had taken her, I went crazy. I need to ge
t my woman back, without her here, I can hardly breathe.

  Around one in the morning, ma arrived with Ani. She came directly to me and asked for Leslie. I told her she was sleeping on the sofa nearby. She didn’t want to be away from me and I couldn’t function if I wasn’t sure she was safe. Ma picked her up and took her to her room. Now that I knew my baby girl was in good hands, it was the moment to start planning in my head how I was going to bring my woman back home.

  Lyra

  My head was banging and I could hardly open my eyes. I felt like I was run over by a Mack truck. Suddenly everything came back to me and I started hyperventilating. I remembered Sarah screaming and me going outside. She told me someone took Leslie. When I was about to turn and go looking for help, I was hit hard on the back of my head and everything went black. I needed to find my daughter. I tried to sit up and realized I couldn’t because I was bound to a bed. I looked around trying to figure out where I was. Besides the bed there was nothing else in the small room where I was held hostage. When I heard someone was coming I closed my eyes and tried to look like I was still unconscious. I needed time to think and form a plan to get out of here but first I needed to know where my daughter was. Maybe if they thought I was still out they would talk freely and say where Leslie was.

  A man entered the room and even though I couldn’t see him, I knew that it was someone I had met before. The cologne he was wearing was very familiar but I couldn’t place it. Suddenly somebody else came in and when the first man started talking I couldn’t hold the gasp that left my lips. Fucking Kevin took me and my daughter hostage and instead of being afraid, I became furious.

  “I can see that you are awake.” He came close to me and grabbed me by the hair. “You couldn’t make it easy. I tried to win you over but you thought you were too good for me. You were up there on your pedestal looking down at me like you were royalty when the only thing you are is a whore that likes to open her legs to dirty bikers.” He backhanded me. “I could have spent my money with you but now I spent it on you. You are mine. I own you. As soon as Los Diablos got to town and started asking questions I knew I could count on them to find you, believe me, I’d paid good money for you. So I will do whatever I please with you.”

  “You fucking animal! Where’s my daughter?”

  He looked crazy, like really crazy. His pupils were dilated and I was completely sure he was on something. I knew that look too well. My mother had that look when she was high as a kite.

  Pulling my hair harder, he got close to me and yelled, “You think your pussy is too good for me? Well newsflash—I own it now and I decided I’m going to share it with some of your old friends. That will make them very happy. I bought you from Satan and his men as soon as they snatched you. They didn’t get to have a taste of you. I’m going to allow them to have their way with you however they want. After they’ve finished getting their fill we’ll move to the next client.”

  “You are going to pay for this, mother fucker!” I knew I should stay quiet but I was furious.

  “Where’s my daughter?” I needed to know she was okay. I didn’t care if I died as long as my girl was safe.

  The door opened again and Satan came into the room. He approached the bed smiling with a knife in his hand and cut my shirt open. I started thrashing but it didn’t stop him. When he finished cutting all my clothes off, he took a step back and laughed.

  “Hello, darling, we meet each other again. I guess this time you’re not going to be able to run.”

  He pushed two fingers inside of me hard and at the same time he rammed his fist in my face and I passed out.

  I woke up later that night with a coppery flavor in my mouth. I could hardly open my left eye and my body was aching everywhere. I looked down and noticed I had dried blood on my inner thighs. I was sure he raped me and that it was going to happen again. I panicked thinking about what was happening to my daughter.

  Kevin came to the room again and looked at me with disgust. “What happened, your majesty? You don’t like the royal treatment that you are getting so far? You passed out, out of pleasure. That can’t happen again.” He sat by my side and started making small cuts to my abdomen and legs. I was screaming so much that he ended up gagging me with a dirty cloth.

  “I know a way to keep you awake.” He started rubbing salt on my wounds and the pain was so excruciating I was praying to pass out again but it didn’t happen. After what felt like hours, he left the room. Sometime later the door opened again but this time it was a man I’ve never seen before carrying a bottle of water in his hands. He sat by my side on the dirty mattress and when I thought he was going to give me some of the precious liquid, he opened it and drank the whole bottle. He started laughing and left. I was so thirsty and tired. My bladder was about to explode but I didn’t say a word. I’d rather pee on myself than ask for anything.

  Hours kept passing by and I ended up falling asleep but not without thinking about my family. I haven’t heard anything about my daughter and that was driving me crazy. I was trying not to imagine what they could be doing to her. I couldn’t go there.

  Suddenly I felt someone untying me and I opened my eyes the best I could because my whole face was very swollen. A guy I have never seen before yanked me by the hair and dragged me to a big room with a stage in the middle. There were five men sitting around the room. They stopped talking and all of their eyes turned to me. Kevin was in the middle of the stage and he smiled when he saw me.

  “Friends, our entertainment for the night has just arrived. Don’t let her appearance fool you. One of my colleagues had a taste last night and he assured me that her pussy is tight and sweet. Come close and serve yourself. Everything is permitted.” Then he grabbed me and pushed me to the middle of the stage.

  A big dirty man in leather clothes jumped on the stage and hit me hard in the stomach. That brought me to my knees. He stood in front of me and unzipped his jeans. He tried to feed me his nasty cock but as soon as it was close to my mouth I bit it. He started screaming and that earned me a punch in the face.

  I was dragged back to the room and tied up to the bed again.

  “That wasn’t nice of you, sweetheart. The only reason you’re still alive is because I spent a lot of money trying to get you to go out with me and you never gave me anything back. Now I’m going to get every penny I spent out of your pussy and ass,” he laughed and left the room.

  The door opened awhile later and the same man I bit came in with a big gun in his hands and brutally raped me with it, laughing while letting me know next time he was going to fuck me with a hunting knife.

  For two days I was raped and beat up, but after the first day, I learned to take myself to a happy place in my head. I was numb after a while. I couldn’t avoid my torture. They owned my body but I was never going to allow them to own my mind.

  I still didn’t know where Leslie was but I knew it wasn’t in this place.

  I tried to stay awake but after all the abuse and no food it was hard for me to keep my eyes open.

  I woke up with Muerte on top of me. He was banging me like a savage and laughing while he was at it. I couldn’t hold it anymore and started throwing up. He stood with a face of horror when he realized I vomited all over him. Taking his knife out, he stabbed me in the chest and punched me over and over again. It was very hard to breathe.

  Wheezing, I asked, “Where is my daughter?”

  “Fuck if I know,” he said. “But maybe I should go and find her and sell her to somebody overseas that loves fresh young meat.” He punched me one more time and left.

  I was bleeding a lot but I didn’t mind. The only thing on my mind was that my Leslie was alive and safe. Damon would find her and he will raise her in a family full of love and protection.

  My thoughts went to Damon in that moment. I remembered the day I met him. I remembered his arms around me. How his mouth felt all over my body. How he used to make love to me. Everything he did for Leslie. Her room with all the butterflies that she lov
ed so much. How he danced with her and how he made her laugh. How he allowed her to pull his beanie all the time so she could play with his hair. How even though he knows that she couldn’t hear him he still sang for her every night. The way he looked at me when I entered a room and his voice when he told me over the phone that he loved me.

  In the beginning I was so mad at him thinking he didn’t want Leslie and when he finally found us, I was so afraid he was going to take her away from me. Now I realized it doesn’t matter how many tears I cried and how many times I swore I wasn’t going to allow him to be close to my daughter, him finding us was the best thing that could ever have happened. That with everything he had done for Leslie he redeemed himself.

  I know I am going to miss seeing my daughter grow up and become a woman but if there was a good place for her to grow up, it was definitely with the Reapers Creed Club. She was surrounded by men that would die for her and would kill for her. Her uncles, like she called them, were always going to be there to pick her up if she ever fell.

  Her two grandmas and all her aunties will all be there to show her how to love with all her heart and to mend that same heart if it ever got broken.

  Her grandpa will always be there to spoil her and cover for her and finally, her loving daddy was going to be there to fill her life with his love and to make her world an easy one.

  I hoped she never forget about me. I wished I could have told her that I loved her one more time. How my whole life changed the first time I held her in my arms. How I always loved her father not only for him but because he gave me her, and having her in my life was the biggest miracle of all.

  I’m going to miss Ani with her beautiful smile and Jordan with her amazing heart. I’ll also miss Adelaide and Norbert. With them I learned that life can be precious. Cora and Kat will own my heart forever not only because of how they showed me happiness but especially because how they loved my daughter. I’ll miss every one of them, James, Leigh, Alex, Ghost, Pops, and Sarah, who I hope is okay. All of them showed me that loyalty and trust are the basic things you need to make this world a better one. I wished I would have told all of them how much I loved and trusted them because I do. I’m trusting them right now with my biggest treasure. My daughter.
