What no one knows is that his first kill isn't for the club. Ironically its for a girl. Not any girl though. She probably woulda been his Old Lady. back then though she was simply his baby cousin's best friend when he first met her. He remembers Rosa, his baby cousin, died from cancer and that's when he took her on. Coral became almost nearly his world. Slowly and day by day the girl became the Sun of his universe.
He walked her to and from school before he got his first bike. He threatened everyone that bullied her. Helped to find her tutors when she starts struggling with school. He make's sure her mother's boyfriends know what will happen if they touched her. He make's sure she's feed and all that rot. He take's her around the town, buy's her what she needs, make's sure she's always got a smile on her face.
Starting with Coral is simply because he promised Rosa he'd look after the girl because besides Rosa no one else really cared about her. So he does the absolute basic's at first. Keeps her safe, in school and as happy as he can. But slowly he starts doing more and more to make her happy. The first time she gives him that mega watt smile he swears he's gonna get the smile from her once a day for the rest of his life. Its her who gave him the nick name that people now fear to hear. She was the one to push him to become a professional tattoo artist. She was the first person to ever be tattooed by him after he was certified.
It's a week before they are moving to Washington that he was twenty minutes late picking her up that it happens. He had been held up at work so when he finally does get to the diner he's already on edge. He lets his anger blossom a little when she's not out front waiting for him. So he goes around looking for her and asking her coworkers where she was at. After another ten minutes he begins in his own way to start quietly freaking out. After a few more moments he gets on his bike and starts searching for her. Taking ever route from the diner to where their currently staying at but its no look. He can't find her any where. It's almost dawn when he heads to her mother's place to see if she's there or if the old crack whore knows anything about his girl.
What he doesn't expect to find his Elnora, Coral's mother talking to cops. After a few moments of questions and a rather heated argument between him and the older woman he finally finds out what happened. She had been found beaten and raped a few blocks from the high school. He only stay's to listen to find out what hospital she's been taken to before he's on his bike and speeding away. When he see's her he can feel something in him snap and a need to hurt over take his other sense's but then she looks up and reaches her hand out to him and he's by her side in a few quick strides and he stay's with her. Two day's later she's out and goes straight to their room and cries since the attack. He curls around her and listen's when she's finally ready to tell him what really happened.
The day before they leave he hunts down the bastard that hurt his girl. He beats the man who turned out to be a student who had been expelled the same year he had been. He takes great pleasure in making the other man howl and scream like a little girl as he hurts him, beats him almost to death before he shoots the other man in the groin. Its a week after they've been in Washington that he finds out the guy bleed to death and the cops have no leads as to who could do something like that to another human begin.
A month after he begins to prospect for the Sons is when he stops by Coral's apartment to find it empty except for a letter on the counter addressed to him. It's the first and last time he lets himself truly break before he composes himself like a true Son. He buries everything he's feeling and locks it away where is heart should be but is no longer there. He does admitted though that he'll never take an Old Lady because as cheesy as it sounds and it is, he knows that Coral is it for him. He'll never find a woman like her and he's accepted that almost as soon as the thought entered his head.
It's years later that he break's again though. He's down in Charming on a run when he's asked to go with Tig to get Gemma and Jax from the Grave Yard. Their walking along when he glance's and freeze's. Tig doesn't notice until he's walking mother and son back the way he came. When the three come upon the silent killer though, their breath catches and they watch. Happy's on his knees in front of the grave and his hand is stretched in front of him, trembling as he trace's the name on the head stone. Gemma in a moment of understanding sends Tig and Jax away and stay's with the silent man. They don't speak, she simply places a hand on his shoulder and stay's there.
After a while he stands and they head to his bike. The three never ask him what it was that happened in the Grave Yard and he doesn't offer to explain anything. Until a few months later he asks Tig and Gemma to come with him to the Cemetery. He takes them to her, to meet her in a weird way, he thinks. After arriving they stay silent for a while before he explains. He tells them everything. From his cousin's promise, to falling in love, to letting her go and to embracing his beast. It's a while later when Juice begins to prospect that he has the kid find out the details of Coral's death. He only tells Gemma, Tig and be default Clay that for the next few days he'd be unreachable.
It's the last time he kill's for anyone other than the Club. Like the first time he killed for her he doesn't get these marked on his body. They don't weigh on his soul or his consciences but he'll remember all three kills better then he'll remember any other kill. He smiled brightly for the first time in years when he kills her mother. He actually cracks a rare grin he he kills Coral's husband, who had gotten off for killing her because the cops screwed up the evidence.
He doesn't have her tattooed on him and he knows he never will. Its ironic, he thinks, that everyone thinks his first and only kills have been for the club. But no one will ever know that the beast within him the rattles its cage to kill was first brought out by a girl. Not just any girl either. A brunette, with soft brown eyes and a dimple smile. It's why he only goes for blonds. Because they look nothing like his brown eyed angle.
