Chapter 1

Act 1

1988: Clay Morrow was the vice-president of Sons of Anarchy Redwood Originals; he was one of the founding fathers of the motorcycle club, together with his best friend John Teller and their companions Otto Moran, Lenny Janowitz, Piney Winston, Keith McGee, Chico Vellenueva, Wally Grazer and Thomas Whitney. Most of those guys weren't in Charming anymore, McGee had already created the Belfast Charter, Otto, Chico and Wally were dead, leaving Samcro to Clay, JT, Lenny and Piney, together with the newcomers Otto Delaney, Bobby Elvis, Tig Trager and Herman Kozik.

At that time, most of the founders were married, but Clay, he never got into a serious relationship with anyone, the only woman he really liked was the wife and queen, Gemma Teller, that woman bewitched him, but he didn't tell her his feelings because she was married to his best friend. In the first week of that year, Clay found out he had a daughter, from a one night stand in a patch over party in Tacoma, the woman he not even remember the name. She was now arrested and his daughter was living in an orphanage, Clay decided then he was going to see his daughter, bring her to Charming and raise her, she deserve to have a father.

Two weeks later, Clay was going back to Charming, he got inside the Samcro lot with his bike and a little baby wrapped tight in a little cloth. Gemma rushed to Clay and got the little girl into her arms "She is beautiful! What is her name?" she asked, looking to the 3 year old, blonde with blue eyes and a skin so white it was dangerous keeping her outside in the sun light for too long.

"Janis" Clay said, he didn't put this name on her, was the name he was told she had, her mother was a big fan of Janis Joplin. "I have a kid now" he said, not believing before, but when he saw her eyes he was sure she was his. Everyone gathered around Gemma to take a look of the 3 year old. Everyone thought she was beautiful, mainly Tig, that looked at her with that empty womb look. "I think she will be a great company to Thomas and Jax" he said then looking at Gemma, he needed help with the baby, he never took care of anything, now he had a baby girl in his responsibility and he not even knew how to heat a bottle of milk.

The next months, Gemma helped him out with the baby, she loved playing the mother of a girl although she taught her the same values she taught Jax and Thomas, she knew Janis would become someone important to the club, the Queen maybe. John Teller became really close to the girl as well, he always wanted to have a baby girl, and Janis was his baby girl, some way she almost lived in their house, passing every day there.

When Janis was 6 years old, Thomas died, she never passed much time with him; the kid was always on the hospital, Gemma only said to her and to Jax that their brother's heart didn't work well. Janis was considered Jax's sister by then, the 12 year old took care of her like a sister, in school mainly, where she was always bullied by the other students.

Three years later, John Teller died, in a bike accident, which completely changed Janis' life. John wasn't so close to them anymore, he was always in Belfast and Clay was getting closer and closer to Gemma. Suddenly her family was all together, Gemma married Clay, and they now lived in a big house with a teenager Jax and her. Janis missed John, he was the one who taught her how to shoot a gun, how to use a bow, and mainly how to fix small things in a bike; he was her cool uncle, and now he was gone. But she was also happy, now her family was together, she didn't understand Clay and Gemma's relationship, but she liked that they were together.

The months later, Janis got closer to the people of Samcro, now that her father was President. She became really close to Tig and his daughters Dawn and Fawn, Bobby, who she called Uncle and Otto and Luann, who she saw as the closest to her dad and Gemma. Kozik was always really distant from the rest; the only person who he really talked to was Tig.

In Janis 10th birthday, her new mother did a big party to her. Everyone attended, even Kozik. Janis knowing how he was shy, never really talked to anyone and seeing how annoyed he was by her friends, she decided to go talk to him. "Hey Kozik, like my party?" she said, she always sounded older than she really was. "I loved the present you gave me" she said, he gave her the whole series of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" she loved the movie, but she never read the books, those books made her love reading.

"I'm enjoying kid, you make great parties" he said to the girl, trying to be nice, those piercing blue eyes always made him soft, he knew that girl had something special. "It was my favorite book when I was a kid" he said to her, she then handled him a little candy, he accepted gladly. "Go play with your friends, you don't want to pass your birthday party seated with the boring old dude" he said to her, she laughed and replied he wasn't old, her dad was.

After that day, they became really good friends. Clay didn't like her friendship with the SOA member, Kozik was known for being a Junkie, Clay was afraid he would send his daughter to the same road.

Janis, at age 10, was already trained for many club things, Clay and Gemma raised her like Gemma raised Jax, she was called Princess by many of the guys and already showed her troublemaker image from her teenage years.

At school, Janis was the smart kid; her grades were always the best in her class which she was advanced, she studied with kids two years older than her, which made her even more mature to her own age. The other kids didn't like her much, she only had three friends: Juan Carlos, Kip and a girl named Lisa. They were the left out of their school, Lisa and Juan Carlos being older than her and Kip being the same age. Kids used to push her hair, play catch with her stuff and say really bad things about her and her family; they said she was a freak with a knife collection, a weird girl with a bandit father.

The club members used to relay who was going to pick her at the school, but Kozik, Clay didn't want him around her. Tig was her favorite pick up, he always took her to Ice Cream after school and often, when she did something good, to the record store. Janis loved music; she already played the guitar and the piano. She loved rock and roll, which was the main soundtrack at the clubhouse, her favorite kind was Punk Rock, and she used to buy records by NOFX, Bad Religion, Black Flag, Pennywise and many others. She dreamed with the day her mom would let her do her first tattoo and dye her hair, she wanted to have blue or green or red hair.

She had a great relationship with Jackson, they were just like sister and brother, Jax protected her from everyone that said bad things about her or their family, he used to drive her to school and often he gave his sister books and comics, to encourage her reading. He also was the one who showed her most about the club life, he told her many things, their fathers adventures in the beginning, making Janis always picture them as this kinds of superheroes, that defeated the evil corporations. Jax was also the one that gave her the notion of Anarchy, the fact that they should do things their own way.

Gemma played an important role in her life, she was Janis' mother, the only person Janis really obeyed, and the only person Janis could count one hundred percent. She was Janis' best friend, and teacher of many things, Gemma taught her of how to be the Queen of Samcro, she really believed Janis was going to be the Queen, or at least someone really important to the members, and she knew one of this guys would end up marrying her, her bet was Tig and Luann's was Kozik.

Act 2

1998: Janis, now a 14 year old girl, has been in Charming for 10 years, she already became the princess of the town, she did everything she wanted, she was the most powerful teenage girl in the city, other teenagers hated her, still bullied her, but she began to retaliate. Almost every day she ended in the principal's office, for punching someone. She was called tormented by most of them.

"Hey mom, did you like it?" Janis asked her mom one day, her blonde hair was now a vivid blue; she went to the hairdresser and asked him to dye it for her. Gemma looked in shock; she already cut her hair with a razor, making it look punk and now dyes it blue, was she crazy? "I did it for my concert" she said, she made a band with three older kids; she was the only girl and guitar player, which made a bit of success with the boys.

"Janis, you dyed your hair blue, you just ruined your head!" her mother said, Gemma couldn't be more angry with her girl. "Who gave you this stupid idea?" she asked then, the teen only answering it was her idea. "Come on, let's go back to that stupid hair salon and fix this shit" she said to her daughter, Janis mumbling behind her as they entered in her car. Janis really enjoyed her new hairdo; her mother really killed her fun.

Entering the salon, Gemma almost killed the hairdresser that did this to Janis, he only answering going back to her natural color was going to be really hard and ruin her hair even more, and the only way to make it less ruined is dye it back. "Yeah, I can deal with black hair" Janis said, although she didn't want to dye it, her mother made clear if she didn't she would probably shave Janis' head. "Anything but blonde" she added, she didn't like blonde hair, it seemed too pretty to her, she never wanted to be the pretty girl; she wanted to be the one with personality.

After passing through the whole procedure again, the hairdresser dried her hair, she looked so similar to Gemma then, she looked like her real daughter. "You look beautiful, baby" Gemma said to her daughter, her eyes popped even more now, looking even bluer, she thought that to be impossible. Janis was beautiful. "Let's go to TM, see what your dad thinks about this" Gemma said, entering her car, her daughter beside her.

Getting to TM shop, Clay was fixing a car, when he looked at Janis, he couldn't believe what his daughter did to her head. "What the fuck is this?" he asked Janis, she looked beautiful, she looked more like him now, and impressively she looked a bit like Gemma. "What have you done to your hair, Doll?"

"Dad, I dyed it blue, mom hated so she made me go back and dye it again, now I'm black haired like you" she said to her dad. Everyone else said she looked beautiful, she decided that this was going to be her new look and everyone seemed to approve.

"You dyed your hair blue? Aw, I really wanted to see it" Tig said, messing her new hair, she only said it was too cool. "You've always been the punk kid" he said to her, Tig was the one who taught her about rock and roll, he liked punk rock, she followed him.

"Yeah, my mom hates that… I never complained about her style" she answered him, Gemma tapping her arm. "Sorry mom, you have the best style, you sexy beast" she said to her mom, who only laughed. "Hey, Lemon, do you like my hair?" she asked Kozik later, he was sitting in the bench, smoking a cigarette. She enjoyed his company, a lot, she thought he was a great guy and amazingly beautiful.

"It looks great, Jan" he said, putting it behind her ear. "You look even more beautiful" he said to her then, she blushed a little, "You remember a Black Rose now" he said, he knew that was her favorite kind of flower. Now her cheeks were red, he kissed her cheeks and got up. This girl always bewitched him, he didn't know what made her so interesting to him, but she was.

"What did I say about you talking to Kozik?" Clay asked her then, getting close to his daughter. "He is not the kind of people I want to be around you." The pres said, Janis just looking at him, like she didn't know what he was talking about. She thought he was a fun guy, why could she talk to Tig, who kills people all the time for Clay's club, and not with Kozik, who was an intelligent guy that liked the same thing she liked. "He does things I don't want you doing" Clay then said, Janis nodded.

"Dad, hm, I need to do my homework, physics my favorite subject" she said to her dad that nodded to her she rushed inside the clubhouse and picked her books to study. After a while Bobby got closer to her.

"Jan, sweet, please explain to your friend Tig that Vatican is a country." Bobby said to her, she couldn't believe they were talking about religion and geography. She joked it was improbable that they were having that conversation. "We were watching TV, something about the pope was said and that he lives in Vatican City, that, although is called city, is actually a country." Bobby explained.

"Actually Bobby, Vatican is a City State, is a city that holds its own law, not necessary is a country, but an independent city" she answer him, Tig cheered, it seemed like they bet something about that. "Now let me go back to my studies." She said to him, and went back to her book, she could see in the corner of her eye, Bobby pouring a drink to Tig. Kozik appeared next to them, not saying anything, he grabbed a drink and then sat beside his favorite girl, he asked what she was doing, "I'm studying, I just finished physics and now I'm in history." He was really good with these school things, so he helped her with her history homework. After she finished, he asked her if she wanted to go train some basketball with him. "Sorry, Lemon, I can't, my dad made this stupid rule, I have to stay here with him today, seems like he didn't enjoyed my little hair surprise" she said to him, although there was no rule, the only rule was for her to stay away from the SOA member, even if it was the best thing for her, staying close to him.

Gemma then called Janis to go home, they had to prepare dinner for Jax and Clay. Janis took her stuff and got inside her mother's car, not waving goodbye to her dad, like she is used to do. "Why are you mad at dad?" Gemma asked her daughter, she knew Janis too well to know her dad did something bad.

"He just don't let me talk to Kozik, like I talk to the others, he is the one that gets me the most, he and Tig. I don't understand why!" she said to her mom, she liked hanging around with everyone, mainly Tig and Kozik, she knew the shit Kozik used to mess with, she is not going to use drugs because her friend uses, she knows it.

"Baby, your dad is only trying to protect you, he only wants you safe. That's all." Gemma replied to her daughter. "I hope this continues as friendship, you and Tig and you and Kozik. You are 14 now, in 4 years you'll be legal, I hope you make the right choice, ok?" her mother said, she knew Janis wasn't going to last with a normal guy, she needed someone from the club, she needed to be an old lady.

"Mom, ew, they are my friends, that's gross. Tig is the weirdest guy ever and Kozik, he'd never be with a girl like me." She said, she didn't say anything bad about the blonde guy, ever, Gemma caught that, she knew deep inside her daughter had a teen crush on the man, Janis just didn't realize that yet.

"Ok, sweetheart, let's go home and make dinner to our boys." She said to Janis, Janis could cook, not as well as Gemma or Bobby, but it was good. She always helped her mom, she felt like it was her responsibility, as girl, as future Old Lady.
