DISCLAIMER: DON'T OWN ANYTHING YOU RECOGNIZE, I'M NOT COOL ENOUGH.

"Welcome to Charming" well fuck. Why didn't I just agree with my dear old uncle and then sneak out to find who I needed to. Oh well, I got out and now I needed to find this car place Trinity told me to go to. I heaved my bag up off the ground and pulled the strap over my head so that it went across my chest and started walking. This place looked like the old black and white American shows my mum used to watch on the telly back home. Not that I could remember much about them, I didn't watch a lot of the shows.

I walked down the quiet, empty streets before stopping at the first car place I found and pulled out my phone. I unlocked the screen and scrolled down to Trinity's texts so I could find the name of the shop she said her brother was at. I read the screen and then looked up to see "Teller-Morrow" in big red letters, knowing I had found the place. I sighed and pulled on my bag a bit before heading up the lot to try to find her brother. She didn't give me much to go on, just that he was good looking and looked like her dad. She had showed me a photo of John Teller so I could kind of spot him in the crowd of bikers. She did assure me that they weren't like Callum or the guys in Belfast. I shook my head, not wanting to think of Callum. I found the office door and rapped on it, hoping whoever was behind it would help me find him. I waited as the door opened and a woman with dark hair with highlights and brown eyes was staring at me. "Ya lost?"

I resisted an eye roll and sighed. "No, ma'am. I'm looking for Jackson Teller. Do you know where I might find him?"

I watched as her plucked eyebrow raised and she looked me over. "What do you want with him?"

I rolled my eyes this time before answering. "No concern of yours is it? I was told he'd be here and that I could trust him."

I could tell whoever this was and I weren't going to get a long which at the moment I gave two shits about really. I backed up a bit as she shut the door and stood before me.

"Jackson is my son and if he knocked you up, you're gonna haveta prove it, sister."

I smirked and got closer to her. "First of all, I don't know your son myself. Although Trin said he is awfully good looking and would have been a good shag if he wasn't her brother."

The woman stood back and then took a good look at me, finally noticing I wasn't from around here.

"What did the bitch say about my son?"

I rolled my eyes that time and stared in hers. "She's not a bitch, not her fault John Teller couldn't keep it in his pants and from your reaction to me, I'd say Jackson is no better."

"No better at what?"

We both turned our heads and I had to blink to keep my focus so I didn't have my jaw drop. This man, I could easily tell was Trinity's brother; however, he was nothing like I pictured from the photograph. They looked a bit alike but with the blonde hair and blue eyes... "No wonder she almost shagged him senseless."

"Excuse me?"

I winced and looked back to the blue eyes of the biker in front of me. "I said that out loud, didn't I?"

He nodded. "And judging by the accent, you're English."

I nodded and sat my bag on the ground. "Are you Jackson Teller?"

He nodded and I continued. "Trinity told me I could trust you and to talk to you when I got here."

He looked at me with a smile. "Trin didn't tell me anyone was coming to see me. What's your name sweetheart?"

Oh no, not the nicknames already. I sighed. "Arianna Oswald. My uncle is from here."

He exchanged a look with the other woman and then picked up my bag. "Follow me, darlin'."

I nodded and followed him into a building beside the shop where the bikes were parked. I let him lead me into a room and then shut the door. I looked around and noticed a table with a reaper cut into it.

"Impressive table."

He sat the bag on top of it and sat at the head when I noticed his patch. "President, great"

"Well thank you, I think."

I looked up into his eyes to see the smile in them and shrugged, "Sorry, my filter comes and goes."

He nodded and gestured for me to set down. I took the seat to his right and put my hands on the table just staring at them.

"So...how do ya know Trinity?"

I looked up at him and he gave a little smile. "I went to private school in London with Kerianne. My mum was Elliot's sister. We moved to London when I was two. Met Trinity a few months before her brother found his son and left to go home."

I smirked and he smiled. "I'm guessing by the shagging comment she told you about that?"

I nodded and chuckled a bit. "Yea, she came to see me actually as I lived just outside Belfast. She was so horrified because you ended up her brother. She spent two days at my house before going back when Mack died. Glad you found your son, by the way."

He nodded. "Thank you. So why did she think I could help you?"

I looked back to my hands again, not really wanting to trouble him and just really wanting to start over.

"Arianna..."

I looked up at him and let out a breath. "It's mostly due to my old man back home because he's prospecting into the Sons of Anarchy over in Belfast, I think. He doesn't know I'm here but does know about Elliot. Trin and Keri helped me get out and they wanted to make sure I was safe so Trin told me to find you. Keri agreed and said if you wouldn't help me then to find Filip Telford."

Jackson nodded and leaned forward a bit. "Filip is outside, do you want him in here to?"

I nodded and he went to open the door. I heard him shout for one of the guys to get someone named Chibs and then he took his seat again. We sat silently as we waited for the other guy to get in the room. I jumped hearing a Scottish accent, not realizing Fiona had married someone not Irish given her background.

"What is it, Jackie boy?"

I watched as he sat down and nodded at me in hello before addressing his President, also noticing the VP patch on his cut. "Great, Trin and Keri knew who to give me over too."

Both men looked at me, the blonde, of course, was smiling.

"Kerianne and Trinity told her to find me or you so that we could help with one of the prospects in Belfast."

The other man looked at me and I just looked down again. He reminded me of Callum and I didn't know if that was good or bad. He was Kerianne's dad though, so hopefully he was a decent bloke. I could feel him looking at me and raised my head to see both of them waiting patiently. I let out a breath. "Alright. Callum is very abusive and I ended up in the hospital. Trin and Keri saw some of the things he did and asked me to leave. To come here and to seek you out in case he found me."

Both men looked at me and then at each other.

"Where's your uncle?"

I shrugged. "I don't know, really. I asked him to bring me here and when he told me not to get mixed up with the likes of you I told him Trinity had told me to come straight here. When he asked why I would trust her over family, I merely told him that phone calls over the last five years didn't make us family. Trinity and Kerianne are my family. I made him pull over and I got out then he took off."

I could see the anger a bit in their eyes, but knew it was for Elliot. I also knew that if my uncle knew just how bad these men could get then he worked with them before. I wouldn't dare ask though, I wasn't that stupid. I knew about the bikers back home, but not the details. I don't really know if Trin and Keri did either; however, did know that Keri was fourth generation IRA. That was enough for me.

"Do you have a place to stay?"

I smiled. "My mom left a small house for me here in town when she died of breast cancer last year and said some man named Floyd would have the key because her brother didn't know anything about it."

Both men looked at each other silently and I just put my hands in my lap and looked at my knees. I knew a little about the Americans from mum and she told me that the men were a lot different then the ones I grew up with. I sure hoped she was right because most of the men I had dated were like Callum, he was just the icing on the cake and my last straw. I had to keep my wits about me and not let any of the guys here get to me, I didn't need anymore reminders about how much of a whore I was, not to mention my worthlessness to amount to anything useful other then a spot to put their dick after a beating.

It was my mum's wish for me to marry a good man because she wasn't able to give me a dad. Maybe that's why I always go for the wrong ones. I didn't have a man that showed me I was beautiful and how I should be treated. I, of course, knew that would never happen; Callum made sure of that with the carvings on my back. I would always be his, but knew after my last hospital stay that Keri and Trin would've made me leave whether I wanted to or not. I heard a couch and looked up to see both bikers looking at me.

"Lassie, I'm going to take you to Floyd and then look at the house yer ma left. If it needs work we will help. Does Jackie need to call his sister?"

I looked at both men and sighed. "If he wants, but I told her I would tell you what you needed to know because I didn't know you and wasn't going to go into too much detail. Trinity and Kerianne know the full story and maybe with time, you will too. I just got out of the hospital before boarding my uncle's plane and almost died while in there. I'm pretty sure they would have made me get on it. I know what Fiona and Keri were born into and it scares the shite out of me."

Keri's dad, Chibs or Filip or whatever, chuckled. "That it should, Arianna. Come on, Jack said we could use his truck so you wouldn't freak on my bike."

I nodded and followed the Scottish man out of the building and to a tan old looking dodge truck. I walked around and got into the truck, sitting the bag on my lap. We didn't talk all the way down the street and stopped at a barber shop that was called "Floyd's". Filip told me to stay and he'd be back with the key. I watched as he walked in and a cop automatically walked out and I knew. The bikers here had some of the cops in their pocket. I watched through the window as the men talked a bit and then the barber came out with Keri's dad.

"You're Peg's daughter?"

I just nodded. "Arianna."

The older man smiled and handed me a key. "Chibs has the address and I told him it needed some work. I kept up with the lawn and what I could, but with money running low I had to stop repairing it about a year ago."

I smiled and nodded. "Thank you for helping my mum. She always told me you were a nice old man. She left me some money so I should be alright to fix it up."

He smiled back at me. "Your mom was a great lady and a good friend. No one really understood her and I let her help me in the shop after your grandfather died. Elliot didn't really know how to handle her. She liked to hang out with the bikers."

I laughed. "Thank you. I'm glad she had someone like you."

He nodded and went back into his shop. I waiting for Filip to get back into the cab and then he turned the key. I looked at him. "Do I call you Filip or Chibs?"

He smiled. "Whichever is fine, lassie. How's Kerianne and her mum?"

I smiled at him. "They are great. Fiona helped us get me out of the hospital so that Callum couldn't find me."

He just nodded. "That sounds liked my Fi. I miss them."

I smiled. "Keri had to get a new phone and told me to give you the number so you could talk to her. She told me a bit about why you left them when you helped Jackson and so wants to make sure you can get a hold of her."

He took the key out of the ignition and smiled at me before getting out. "After we get ye settled, I'll call'er. I'm glad she thought I could help her friend."

I nodded, smiling at him, before jumping out of the cab. I put my bag back over my shoulders and then looked up at the house. It needed a good coat of paint on the outside and the yard needed some work to make it look good. I sighed and walked up to the front door, hoping it didn't fall off. I put the key in the lock and undid the deadbolt before walking in. I left the door open so that Filip could follow me in if he wanted and walked in pass the entry way. The paint or wallpaper on the walls wasn't the original color and I sighed. I knew mum said this place would need some work in the letter she left me with the will, but I didn't know how much. I went to walk on and felt a hand on my arm causing me to shriek.

"Sorry."

I turned to see Filip standing behind me. I looked down at his hand still on my arm and he took it away. "The wood's rotten, Arianna. I think we could fix up cheap though. I'll talk to Jackie boy and some of the guys to get it fixed up."

I shook my head. "No, I don't wanna be too much trouble. I'll just ask my uncle to help."

He chuckled and I looked at him. "Elliot Oswald has people that do it fer him. He wouldn't know what to do with most of the things needed to fix this place up. Let's get back to the clubhouse and we'll figure out where ye'll stay while we figure out this house. It's not safe."

I nodded. "Alright. Thank you, Filip."

He smiled and then we left to head back over to the shop. I stared out the window and watched the buildings go by as he drove back to the shop. He pulled into the same spot the truck was in before and we jumped out of the truck. I watched as the woman from before started her way over and she didn't look happy about me still being here.

"Chibs."

"Now Gemma, this girl needs our help. Kerianne and Trinity told her to come to us and so Jackie and I decided to help get her set up. Elliot is here and so she's going to be around."

I sighed and nodded in understanding. This was Jackson's mum and from what Trin had told me, she's a royal bitch with a capital B. I just walked away and the woman grabbed my wrist and pulled me to her. "You stay away from my son. He's been through enough and doesn't needed some English tart running over him."

I turned and leaned into her a bit, Filip watching us. I also saw Jackson heading over from the car he was working on. "I have no attention of shagging your son, Gemma. First, he's Trinity's brother and I already know a bit about what's in his pants anyway. Second, I have made the decision that bikers aren't good for me. Now get your grimy paw off my arm before I use the training I had in my self defense class during my stay in the hospital the last bloody month."

I stared at the woman, daring her to keep her hand on me when she released it. I knew she saw my resolve to hit her, no matter how her son and I were connected. She just nodded and then turned to her son. "I'm going to pick up the boys. See you at home."

Jackson nodded and then we watched as she left. The bikers all turned to look at me and I saw the question in the blonde's eyes. I knew that he knew Trinity didn't get a peak at his goods since their mother's had stopped them in time, but Gemma didn't need to know that. I turned to Filip, who was trying to hold in a laugh. "What?"

He let it out as did half of the bikers in the shop.

"Lassie, ye stood up to Gemma and no one does that unless it's Jackie here, or Clay. You just made it to her good book since you had the guts to threaten her. She'll leave ye alone now."

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever." I turned to Jackson. "As for you, thanks for not letting it on that Trin actually didn't see anything a sister isn't suppose to."

He smiled and nodded. "No problem. I figured you'd stay at the house."

I looked at Filip and he nodded. "Right...Jackie boy, she can't stay there. The floor's rotted and it needs some work. I told her we'd figure something out."

I watched him run a hand down his face and sigh. "Alright...we'll get Phil to look at it since his dad was in construction to see what the damage it and go from there. I called Trinity and she gave me the reasons why helping her was a good thing. Callum isn't a great guy and is already threatening them. They went to Michael with it and they are safe. Fiona and Kerianne also."

Jackson looked at me and I knew he saw the worry on my face. He walked closer to me and then moved a stray hair from my face. "Darlin' you are safe and my sister is safe. She wouldn't have sent you to me if she didn't know how to handle the fucker. She said to call when we get you settled and not to worry about them."

I simply nodded and let him take my bag. I watched him as he carried it into the clubhouse building that we were in earlier. I was already in trouble. I knew what Trinity and Kerianne had told me about him, but to see it up close, to experience it was a whole different thing completely. I blinked when he was out of sight and turned to see a smirk on Filip's face, knowing I had been caught. I rolled my eyes and followed the man who took my bag. I walked in to him telling some biker to put the bag in his old room. "Why your room?"

He turned to look at me. "I don't use it much anymore so it's alright for you and has a bathroom in it so you can have privacy while we fix up your house. I tend to stay at my house with my sons more then indulging in what's here at night."

"What's he..."

"Jax, long time."

I turned to see some girls that could only be described as whores walk in and then turned back to Jackson, who rolled his eyes. "Ladies I am not staying. Ya'll know this. I don't stay here more then is needed and Arianna needs my bed so no go for me, sorry."

I watched the smile leave their faces as they looked down on me and rolled my eyes. What was with this American that all the girls, here and in Europe, wanted a piece of him. "He has to shag them senseless for them to be that disappointed."

It got quiet and I closed my eyes. "Bloody filter."

I heard a chuckle and looked over to see Jackson trying to contain himself.

"You think your so damn funny." I stated, causing him to let out the laugh.

"Darlin' you're the one that said I shag them senseless. I don't know about that, it's more to do with the patch and the fact that my wife died a year ago." He leaned into me and whispered, "They want to be my old lady which wont happen. I had one, I'm done with them mostly. Still feels like I'm cheating."

I looked at him and smiled. "Trinity told me about her, I'm sorry. I wasn't going to bring it up."

He nodded and then walked out talking about going home. I stood and watched as everyone looked at me. I turned to Filip, who nodded for me to follow him. I turned and went down the hall after him. I stopped and looked at the bike on the shelf and smiled. Maureen had told me about the bike that John Teller used to take her on and wondered if this one was it. I took out my phone and and took a photograph of it to send to Trinity later so she could show her mum. I turned to look for Filip and found him at the end of the hall.

"This is the room, Arianna. The lock does work and the water gets hot quickly. I'm across the hall if you need anything and you'll probably meet the rest tomorrow. A party goes on most nights so it'll get noisy."

I nodded in thanks and walked into the room. I turned as he shut the door and then turned back to look around. I saw my bag on the bed and the photos on the walls. I walked over and looked at them a bit noticing Jackson with two boys that looked like him. The youngest; however, looked more like the woman in them. "Must be Tara." I mused as I looked at each of them. Trinity had told me how someone ran her off the road and her car went over a cliff outside town on her way home from Lodi one night.

I felt the tears fall as I looked at how happy they were. He didn't look like that anymore. His smile lit up his face in these photos, not like the ones he showed me today. Trinity had told me that Abel had a different mother, but Tara saved his life since she was the doctor that operated on him. I couldn't help but notice that the man in these was the man Gemma was trying to protect. After seeing the girls react outside, they all wanted the title of his old lady. I sighed and went to my bag, not able to look at them any longer and opened it to get out my shorts and cami to sleep in. I changed and then went to brush my teeth. I then braided my hair to the side and laid on the bed that Jackson had given me for the nights to come, sleep coming very easily even with the bikers just outside my door.

Alright, here's the next one. I'm not quite sure where this one is taking me and I am trying out the first person POV for the first time with SOA so bare with me. It'll be Arianna and Jax's POV most of the time, maybe a couple with Chibs and Gemma, not sure on that. Hope you like the ride and please leave your input in the box as usual. I'm doing writing today so I may have a couple chapters up for you. Also, I'm not British so will not have the slang in here as I don't know most of it. Arianna is 25 and Jax is 33. Till next time-Brianna
