JJ-Jefferu: Here is my attempt at a Sons of Anarchy story. This is not the only one I have done but this one, that at the moment has up to five chapters already written. I would like to thank TrappedinaPhotofor proofing this for me.
~+Disclaimer: I do not own SOA, it belongs to Kurt Sutter and shown on FX. I however own the plotline and the characters that you are not familiar with. +~
Chapter 1: Welcome to Charming.
"Ariel, please calm down," Alana called over to me. I growl and hit the gas pedal of my blue Jeep Wrangler as I pass the "Welcome to Charming" sign. Out of the corner of my eye, I notice that Alana was slowing down the U-haul. The sound of roaring engines makes me follow suit. In the right side view mirror I watch as my best friend moves to the side to allow the group of bikers to pass. I sigh and pull completely over to the side of the road and put the Jeep in park. My head was starting to throb. My eyes followed the bikers as they passed us. On the back of their cuts it read 'Sons of Anarchy'. Not even five seconds later, my phone was starting to ring.
"'Ello," my southern accent says thickly into my mobile.
"Hey girl, ma said you were coming home. Was that you we just passed?" the familiar voice of my best friend Jax replies.
"Yeah that was us. This ain't exactly a good thing Jax. 'Lana and I aren't," I stop and close my eyes. "Moving back home wasn't a random pull to come home, not that I don't miss you but this has nothing to do with that. But with the shit that went down in Havelock, Charming's the only safe place I got."
"Ace, what happened?" Jax says after a minute. I sigh.
"Jax you will find out when big brother goes on a rampage," I start. "But listen 'Lana and I have been driving all day and need to get to the house. The dogs are 'bout to go nuts. Tell Chibs to call me later," I say and hang up. Alana pulls beside me. Rider, my white German Shepard, was sticking his head out the window. LaLa, Alana's Terrier, was lying in the passenger seat looking green, now how a dog looks green I'm not sure.
"You ok now?"
"Nah, but Chibs is going to flip shit. Let's head to the house; I need to shower, Rider is looking restless, and LaLa is looking sick," I nod for her to go.
"Alright but none of those bikers better come around," Alana drives off. I sigh, guess after that shit with Aj, I wouldn't want them either. Hell that is why or at least half of why we are coming to my hometown.
It took us about ten minutes to get to the house. As I was pulling into the drive-way I noticed two bikes parked in the street. Glancing around I saw two guys sitting on the porch smoking. Just what we needed, I wonder who it would be sitting there though.
"Shit," I mumble as I step out of the Jeep. I see a blur of white heading straight for the porch and sigh. I hear the door slam of the U-Haul and knew Alana was pissed. "I told Jax for 'im to call. I didn't want anyone over," I tell my Asian best friend, who was glaring over in the direction of where Rider was getting his stomach scratched. Alana's red hair was pulled back with the front portion falling into her eyes. The baggy SAMCRO hoodie I loaned her was hiding her bruises, like her jeans did for her legs. My mid-back length black streaked blue hair was secured back in a braid. My ECU hoodie and jeans were doing the same thing as hers.
"Get rid of them Air, I'll feed Rider and see what has already been set up and what needs to be done tomorrow," Alana says walking past me, LaLa trotting behind her, and heading towards the door that was off the carport, avoiding the two bikers sitting on our porch. After letting LaLa in the house she whistles and Rider takes off towards the door. After Rider goes into the house Alana goes in. A second later the porch light is turned on. It illuminates the porch giving me a clear look as to who was sitting on the steps.
"Chibs, why are you here," I ask grabbing my messenger bag from the Jeep and head towards them.
"I know Jax told me to call but I thought coming would be better," I shake my head as Tig stands up with Chibs.
"Defiantly not, Alana is pissed," I stop in front of them. I hug my brother. "Missed you,"
"I did too darlin'," I turn to Tig and he pulls me to him.
"Pain in the ass," Tig says pulling back.
"Why are you here?"
"Can't I see my favorite girl?" I snort at this.
"You just wanted to get a look at 'Lana," I say giving him a pointed look.
"Guilty," I shake my head.
"Tig you need to leave her alone. After the shit we just ran from and what has happened. I don't exactly see Alana jumping into bed with a biker again….At least not for a while,"
"That's another thing Ace, Jax said this wasn't a good kind of move. Mind telling me what happened?" Chibs says forcing me to sit on the porch steps. I take a breath and look between the two.
"Well you guys know that I met 'Lana at school," they nod. "Well when we finished our last year Lana fell for Aj Herrera*. At first things were going great between them. Then Lana found out what exactly he did on the weekends," I pause and breathe.
"Anything like the shit we do or deal with?" Tig asks, I nod.
"Yeah, when Lana found out she was okay with it. Well that was in the beginning, then she met Rachel, Aj's old lady," I close my eyes to press back the shit from a few days back. "She tried to end things with him, but he wasn't having it. Then a day or two later I was just getting off my shift and coming into the apartment and saw him beating on her. Aj turned to me and then started to beat on me," I take a calming breath. "I fought back though. He didn't like it and pulled out a knife; lucky for me I was near one of the places where I had a hidden gun. I shot him in the knee and called 911. As the police were taking him away he swore he would get even," I explain purposefully leaving out key details. For a few moments things were silent.
"Does he have any connections out here?" Chibs asks, watching his face I notice he had a look of murder on his face.
"The Mayans," Alana says, I look back at the door. She had a grateful look on her face.
"Shit, I got to call Clay," Tig says pulling out his phone and walking off.
"Sorry bro, I didn't know where else to go," I look down.
"It's okay Ariel, just come by the club tomorrow," he pulls me to him hugging me tightly.

Pulling into Teller-Morrow I noticed that it looked exactly the same as it had when I left. Nothing has changed in the past five years. I could see that for once everyone was actually working for a change. Gemma was handing a guy with a Mohawk a piece of paper, if memory serves me it was likely to be a repo list. Clay and Tig were over by the picnic tables smoking. Shutting my door as I get out of Jeep door, I whistle.
"Things don't change much 'round here do they," I say walking towards my brother and Opie.
"Ace," Opie shouts being the first to react to me. I smile as the giant hugs me.
"Good to see you too Op," as soon as he pulls back and lets me go, I am pulled into someone else's arms.
"Damn Ace, N.C did you good," Bobby's voice says. I laugh pulling away.
"Ariel Marie Telford," I freeze hearing Gemma's voice. I look at her and a smile was consuming her face.
"Gem," I say and throw myself at her hugging the older woman.
"Who's this?" a raspy voice asks from the side. I pull back from Gemma. My attention was turned fully to the tall, bald, tattooed man standing beside the other guy I didn't know. In my opinion he was extremely attractive.
"And the princess returns," Jax says walking up to me. I make a face at him.
"Screw you Jax, I ain't no princess," I stick my tongue out at him. "Fucking hate that nickname," I make a disgusted face.
"Well Ace you are the only girl associated with SAMCRO who ain't a croweater," Jax says slinging his arm around my shoulder.
"GROSS," I shout flinging Jax's arm off me. "Don't touch me Jackson. I don't know how clean you are," my eyes widen as a thought crosses my mind. "Shit, I am full of unknown diseases," I step away from them. Tig grabs me and hugs me. I struggle to get out of Tig's arms. "Tig let me go! You are the worst one," Tig lets me go, he puts his hand over his heart.
"Damn darlin' that hurts," he jokes. Everyone laughs.
"I am lost," another unfamiliar voice says. I look over to the two members who I don't know. The one with the Mohawk's patch said REDWOOD while the bald ones said NOMAD.
"Ariel but you can call me Ace, everyone does," I say.
"Juice," mohawk says. I raise a brow.
"Real name?" he shakes his head. I let out a relieved sigh.
"Happy," the other guy says.
"Not even going to question that one," everyone chuckles.
"What are you doing here?" Gemma asks. I look at her in disbelief. "Not that you aren't welcome here sweetie, it's just a bit early for you," Gemma had a point it was barely 10 a.m. I was never an early riser.
"Big brother said to come by. Tig was pissed last night. So I figured this needed to be done before my 12-10 shift," I see Tig and Chibs tense and get angry looks on their faces.
"That's right," Clay says. "Church now," everyone nods heading towards the clubhouse. "That includes you Ariel," I nod.
"You already have a job?" Chibs asks walking beside me towards the clubhouse.
"Yeah, apparently St. Thomas is short handed," walking into the clubhouse I notice, it like the garage, hasn't changed a bit. There was a few people who were passed out in various places of the main room. Rolling my eyes I follow the guys into the chapel. I was going to stand but was pulled down into someone's lap. I glare at Tig.
"I was perfectly fine standing up Tig," I snarl.
"Sorry darlin' but after what you told us last night, I think you'd fall over. Plus I always did want to see what you felt like on my lap," I punch Tig in the stomach and Chibs smacks Tig. With exception of Juice and Happy, everyone is laughing at us.
"I don't do incest Tig, 'sides Jax, Chibs, and Op would probably shoot your ass if your dick comes anywhere near," I stop letting him feel in the blanks. Again laughter fills the chapel.
"Ok enough bullshitting, what happened?" I take a breath and tell them the same thing I told Tig and Chibs last night. When I finish the room is quiet.
"What aren't you sayin'?" Jax asks looking into my eyes. I feel tears surfacing.
"He-," I try. "He-," again I couldn't wrap my mind around it.
"Did he touch you," Jax says keeping his eyes contacted with mine.
"He tried, but I fought back. That's when I shot him,"
"Then what has you so worked up?"
"He raped Alana," the tears spill. "I couldn't stop him," I turn and bury my face in Tig's shoulder and I start crying. "It's my fault, I knew he was bad news but I can't dictate 'Lana's life," I cry harder into Tig's shoulder. He wraps his arms around me locking me into his body.
"It's not your fault, don't blame yourself. It is that bastards fault," Tig says quietly, unTig like to those who don't know our relationship. Tig views me like Chibs does, a sister. Hell he set my first boyfriend straight.

I was taking my break, I have been back in Charming for about two months. Chibs was being over-protective and Tig and Jax went along with it. Alana and I weren't allowed to go anywhere without an escort. It was ridiculous, everywhere I went everyone stared at me, the same being said with Alana. Now I was used to it, growing up around the club but 'Lana was just annoyed as I was. 'Lana was only comfortable with Juice or Chibs being with her at all times. Stepping outside the hospital, I notice a couple motorcycles pulling in. I roll my eyes walking over to the side of the hospital and pull out a pack of cigarettes that I swapped from Chibs last night.
"Never pegged you for a smoker," a raspy voice says as I light up the cigarette. I jump at the sound of Happy's voice. I look over at him. He was standing next to me. I watched as Chibs and Juice walked into the hospital. It must have been 3; Alana should be getting off then. I still had an hour before I got off.
"Yeah well growing up 'round the club, you tend to pick up habits, plus I used to steal Chibs and Tig's smokes starting when I was 16," I say taking a drag and then handing it out to him. He takes it.
"Makes sense, I guess." I shrug.
"What are you doing here Hap?" I ask taking back my cigarette.
"I heard you are going to need a ride after work,"
"Yeah, 'Lana needs to do some stuff and Rider has a vet appointment," I reply shrugging, we shared the Jeep so it wasn't that big of a deal.
"Her and Juice seem pretty close," I snort at what he says.
"Yeah, well I'm not sure if Lan could handle something like that at this moment. Though he is helping her," I shrug and put out my cigarette. "He's helping her deal,"
"How are you dealin'?" Happy asks.
"Can't complain," I answer.
"I don't buy that," he says.
"I don't have nightmares, I don't wake up screaming in the middle of the night, and I am not as paranoid as Alana, she is way worse," I say rubbing my face.
"Let's go for a ride," Happy says stepping in front of me.
"Right now,"
"Yeah, right now,"
"But I have another hour of work,"
"Screw it c'mon,"
"Fine, let me get my shit first."
