1. Prologue

Disclaimer: Kurt Sutter owns all recognizable SOA characters and story lines. I simply own my imagination, which is, at the moment, running rampant through the streets of Charming.

And what was it inside you that love never satisfied?

The thin thread that held you, how did it come untied?

The grace you only ran from, the bridges that you burned

The peace of mind you learned to live without

I hope you found it now

-Jason Walker "Hope You Found It Now"

Madeline was never one to conform. Maybe it was her childhood of outlaws and mayhem, but she just never could fall in line like every other Jane. So it was no surprise that, when given the chance to taste the road with no boundaries, she had jumped on her Harley and taken off without a single glance back.

She was freshly 18 and a new High School graduate when the Mayan war hit its peak. Her brother was new in the MC. Chances of him breaking away from the chaos was slim. She knew he would stay behind. He was a fighter by nature. But her parents didn't want her mixed-up in a war that was not her's to fight. They wanted her out of Charming and as far away as they could get her.

Despite her nature to avoid conformation, she decided to go away to college. She figured the 4 years away would be long enough for the war to blow over and the dust to settle. She hadn't expected to like South Carolina or to stay for a total of 10 years without return or visit to her small town roots in California.

She had called of course—kept her parents in the loop; let them know that she was fine—even when she wasn't. She knew they worried about her being so far away, but that worry was dwarfed by the concern of having her in the middle of a blood stained battle of the bikers. What they hadn't wanted was to have her stay away. They assumed she would return home to her family, to the Sons, to everything she had known for her first 18 years. But she was an adult, and she had to make her own decisions.

She had graduated from college with her Bachelor's degree and attended law school. Years of dedication found her certified and practicing law in Charleston, SC, where she had settled down. But the outlaw in her blood yearned to feel the freedom of the life she had left behind. And the secret that was stalking her like a bloodhound had her itching to get away. She was in danger.
