AN: Thanks for the reviews, I love reading them! Keep them coming!

She watched them leave Redwoody before she went back to her own warehouse to clean it out. She opened her safe, taking all the money. She opened the file cabinet and took out several newer unused IDs. She'd left enough of a paper trail to keep Happy and Chibs busy, looking for her until she could come up with a plan. She had to get out of here before someone spotted the car, she grabbed a few more things and drove to Lodi.

She could hide in plain sight, and not be found. The first order of business, change her appearance. She got her haircut, when she was out, she wore non-descriptive clothes, she pulled at hat down over her eyes, and she wore glasses. She assumed the name Jonya Young, she was renting an apartment over a hair salon.

She was walking back from the corner store when she heard motorcycles, she stiffened, and looked down, she hadn't worn a baseball cap out. She did have big sunglasses on, she glanced up, looking at the Kuttes. It was a mixture of Grimm Bastards and Sons.

Fuck me running! She quickly walked into her apartment, hoping nobody noticed her. She slammed her door, locking it, she put her groceries away, and sat down in a chair. There was a knock on the door, she looked out the peep hole, Chibs was standing on the other side, she slowly backed away from the door.

Fuck me running! How did he find me so fast? There's no way he'd gone looking for her in Settle! Damn it! She was going to have to run again, so much for hiding in plain sight, it got her plain found, pretty plain fast.

She looked out the peep hole, he was sitting on the floor, which meant, he knew she lived there. Damn! Damn! Damn! She bumped into the table next to the door, knocking a vase into the floor. She heard him, get up from the floor, he started beating on the door.

"Avery, I know your'e in there! I'm not leaving you either open the door or I'm kicking it in!"

She unlocked the door and opening it, letting him in, he stormed into her tiny apartment. "Can i help you?"

"Did you really think you could hide from me? She just looked at him not answering him. "Get your things, I'm taking you back to Charming!"

Again she just stood there looking at him, her arms crossed over her chest, throwing him a challenge. She turned around, walking away from him, sitting down on the couch. She heard him swear, he walked over, slamming the door shut, he locked it, he jerked her off the couch, carrying her to the bedroom.

"Why did you leave?"

"Because you hurt me in ways I didn't think possible! I had to leave before you did it again!" She pulled out her pack and started shoving her clothes in it. "I'll be damned if I go back with you, and give you another chance to hurt me!"

He reached out to stop her, his hand on her arm. He took the bag from her throwing it on the floor, he picked her up in his arms, she fought him. He cupped her face seeing her tears, he wiped them away. "Stop fighting me." He said quietly.

"I have to, I can't give you another piece of my heart, I'm still trying to recover from the last piece you took and broke." She picked her bag up and left him standing in stunned silence.

She grabbed her before she could get out the door, he turned her around, pushing her up against the door. "Please, Avery...come back with me. Give me a chance to make it up to you!"

He slowly started to kiss her, she couldn't resist him, she found herself kissing him back. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she was being lifted off her feet and carried back into her bedroom.

"Let me love you Avery!"

"Please..." She closed her eyes as he started to make love to her.

"Did you really think I wouldn't know your body, when I saw it?"

She raised her head up to look at him. "What are you talking about?"

"When you were walking down the street, and we passed you. I would know you're body anywhere, I've held you, and touched every inch of you inside and out."

She laid her head back down on his chest, his hands were making circles on her back, her hands were resting on his shoulders. She felt him lean down, kissing the top of her head. She listened to his heartbeat, she closed her eyes. She let out a nice slow breathe, trying to shake the feeling of dread coming over her. She should be feeling happy right now, but she had this overwhelming feeling of something horrible was coming. She pushed the thoughts from her head, she raised back up, looking at Filip, and smiled at him.

She had been back in Charming for two weeks, she still couldn't shake her bad feeling. She was getting ready for a party at the club, she heard Filip pull into the drive. Pulling on a pair of boots, she walked into the living room as he was walking into the house. He picked her up, holding her against him, kissing her.

She followed him out, climbing on the back of his bike behind him., she wrapped her arms around his waist. He pulled into the lot, he climbed off the bike helping her off. He pulled her into his arms kissing her, she smiled up at him. He took her hand leading her into the clubhouse, she walked up to the bar and ordered a beer. Happy walked up beside her kissing her check.

"How are you little cuz?"

"I'm fine Hap! How are you?"

"Been good!"

She continued to drink her beer, Chibs was still outside talking to Tig and jax. She went outside to join him, the one person she didn't want to see was out there. Althea Jarry, was talking to Filip, standing too close for comfort. She clinched her jaw, she watched her lean in kissing him, her hands going all over his body. He tried to pull away from her, but she pushed him against the wall. She stood in the shadows, hiding.

"Christ, Althea! I told you it's over, I'm with someone."

"Avery?"

"Aye...I care about her."

"That didn't stop you before!"

"I made a mistake being with you!"

"It would be too bad, if something happened to her!"

Chibs pushed her against the wall. "Don't go near her. If you touch her, it will be the last thing you'll ever do!"

She leaned against the wall, staying in the shadows watching Althea leave, and Chibs walk back into the club. she slid down the wall, sitting on the ground, hugging her knees to her chest. She heard the door swing open, Chibs coming out, cursing and calling her name. She stepped out of the shadows calling his name. He slowly turned towards her, pulling her into his arms.

"Avery, I only want to be with you!"

"Filip...You're the only one I want!"

He pushed her back into the shadows of the club, pushing her against the wall, he undid her jeans pulling them down, he unbuckled his own pants. He held her up against the wall, pushing inside her. She could feel the rough bricks against her back, she wrapped her arms and legs around him. She kissed him, as he pushed deeper inside her. She moaned his name, he ran his hands under her shirt. She held on to his shoulders as she climaxed, he thrust into her one last time as he found his release. He kissed her, long and deep.

"You're mine, never forget that!" She smiled at him, not sure how to even answer that. He carefully, released his hold, helping her get redressed, taking her hand, leading her back inside the clubhouse.

They left several hours later, they got home, she was stripping in the bedroom, he saw the bruises on her back, from being held against the brick wall.

"Christ, love! Did I do that to you?"

"It's fine!"

He turned her around, looking at her back gently touching the bruises.

"Why didn't you tell me I was hurting you?"

"Because at the time, it defiantly wasn't hurting."

He gently started kissing her bruised back, trailing kisses down. She closed her eyes, he wrapped his arm around her waist, picking her up.

"Lets's see, what else needs kissed." He laid her on the bed and went in search of bruises that needed kissed.
