Saga Challenge-Week 1A Story by SnuggleBunnyQueenThis is a challenge that one of my friends gave me off of another site... It is going to be several small pieces and then eventually I will put them all together. The blank walls stared
back at me. There was nothing resembling home here. Then again, I already knew
this wasn't my home. The main thing that I couldn't stand was feeling like the
walls were moving closer to me, slowly making my space smaller than it was before. I guess this is
what prison is like. Tara, why did you go get yourself into this mess?! Yeah
the guy was attractive, but that's no reason to risk your life! I
needed to find where home was and what it meant to me again. I know that home
was not with the guy that I was with. He was willing to have me thrown in jail
for his deals gone bad without even trying to keep me out of it. The local motorcycle
club, (MC for short), Ravaged Savages, had a new president. I had been around
this boring area all of my life. I had seen them riding their bikes down the
roads for runs together, but never really paid attention. Lately though, they
weren't only doing their normal rides, but they also started taking kids from
the youth center on rides around the area to get them out. There were other
changes that benefitted the community. Their legitimate jobs were construction
workers, so last weekend they had actually built a new playground and
surrounded it by trees that were so young they had no leaves still. It was the
right time of year to start planting them, even though I wasn't sure exactly
what type of trees they had planted. His hair was a dirty
blonde, shaggy, and a little had grown over his ears. His eyes were emerald
green. They looked as if they pierced through whatever they looked at. He stood
around five feet ten inches, if not a little taller. He had a thick southern
accent with a t-shirt, jeans and tennis shoes on. He also wore a black leather
vest with the club logo and patches on it; included were sunglasses that all
Savages wore. I walked up to the
heavyset man wearing the VP patch. He had a beard that was gray and very wiry.
His voice, I already knew, would echo louder than most men. He appeared to be
near six feet tall, if not almost six three. He probably weighed more than two
hundred, closer to three hundred, pounds. "Hello." I was very nervous walking up slowly and cautiously
towards a man that was more than three times my size. I knew that they would
all be carrying guns, so I was careful as too not to sneak up on the members. "Yes, darling?
Aren't you a little lost from the high school?" "No sir, I
graduated a year ago. I was wondering if I could have a second with your
Pres." "I believe that
he is currently busy." "Is there some way
that I can set up an appointment to talk to him. It's about the work that you
all have done in the community lately." I didn't want to talk to him about
that honestly, but I needed something to get me to at least talk to him
face-to-face. © 2012 SnuggleBunnyQueenAuthor's Note
