Chapter 1

In the heart of Stilwater's downtown district a crimson headed woman slowly woke from a deep sleep. Today something was, I could feel it in every part of her being. That was right today was the two year annivesary of the boat explosion that killed the late mayor and the leader of the 3rd street saints.I shrugged and decided to pay my older brother a visit down in the shipping district where he ran his gang. I hadn't been able to get away enough recently to really visit him as often as I wouldv'e liked but hey a visit was better than none right?

I got inside the red venom Maroe had gotten me a couple years back, this thing was her pride and joy. I was shocked I that he even remembered that this was the car that wanted so desperatly. No I wasn't calling him dumb he just was so busy with Jessica and the gang now that he never had the chance to listen to what I had to say anymore. Ever since that bitch had shown up, it was like I didn't exist! Biting my lip nervously I dialed my brothers number and much to my relief it was't Jessica but Matt that answered.

" Hey Matty is my brother there with you?" I she asked hopfully.

" Sorry Ash he and Jessica went out. He wanted to stay but you know how she can get when he doesn't give her what she wants," He sighed lightly into the phone.

" It's ok please just have him call me back later. I'm gonna go bother some Ronin for a little bit," I giggled.

We both laughed, saying our good-byes and hanging up.I sighed before slipping further down into my seat and just sat there. I truly felt invisibly to my own flesh and blood, he never wants to do anything anymore other than run the gang or fuck around with that whore. I know she's cheating on him, even caught her once but no Maroe chose her side like always.

' When did I stop being good enough for my own family?' I thought bitterly before reving the engine of my venom.

As I pulled out onto the main road of Stilwater I couldn't help but feel that something was very wrong about today. Was there something I had forgotten at the house or maybe a birthday? No, that wasn't it this feeling was much stronger than that and that's what scared the hell out of me. four hours past and the Ronin finally got tired of me messing with them and ran me off their turf which worked out anyways cuz I wanted ti o drop by and have Donnie check out my baby. Dodging all the bullets could not have been good on the motor.

As I enetered his garage I could hear somone talking in the back and it defiantly sounded like my favorite mechanic. The only reason he was my favorite was becuase he was just so easy to scare. I slowly closed the door behind me and carefully crept up behind him.

" Boo!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

I dodged quickly as he nearly took my head off with a .44 that he had been carring alot more recently. It was obvious that he thought that something was out to kill him or at least attack him.

" Are you tring to give me a heart attack Ashley?" Donnie asked in a squeaky, terrified voice.

I crossed my arms over my chest and raised my left eyebrow up in a questioning stare. I told him that my car needed to be checked so he did and I was on my way very quickly. That's when I saw why Donnie was so freaked out. It was on every tv station, radio station and all over Stilwater. The leader of the 3rd street saints had come back to reclaim his city.
