So I'm back. Quick right. Also sorry about the bad grammar, I don't have a beta and I'm just trying to get this story out before I forget my ideas. Again thanx for the reviews, I really do appreciate them! Now on with the story…..
Tara awoke felling groggy and numb. She went to rub her face only to realize her hand and other extremities were bond to the four bedposts. At that moment everything that had happened came rushing back to her. She quickly looked around her room to check if those animals were still there. To her horrible surprise Wade was still there. She groaned alerting him that she had come to.
"Ah, princess your awake. I thought you were going to be out for a while longer. You keep surprising me. You are a very strong woman. Now do you think you can answer my questions?" he said as if they were old friends having a chat.
"And you keep showing me how dumb you are Wade. I thought we covered this. You can try to scare me, torture me and you can try and break me but I will not do any of that. I can't wait to see what they will do to you." Tara said in a hoarse voice. She smiled, or at least tried but it was more of a grimace.
Wade thought about what she said. She really was a tuff little doctor. He knew he was not going to get any answers. So he thought of what he should do to her. He could continue and ravish her chard body or kill her. He couldn't kill her because he wanted the Son to see her, then his message will be delivered. So he thought he should rough her up a lot more and leave her here. Someone would find her and if they didn't and she died well then who cares because technically he didn't kill her..
"Ok princess lets not get rude. You don't want to make me mad do you?" he asked in a mock hurt voice.
"I don't think you do. How about we end this then because I'm not going to get my answers and you aren't scared." Wade asked her as friendly as he could.
He walked over to the left side of the bed by her face and took out a little switch blade. Tara looked the other way thinking he was going to do his worst. But to her surprise he cut the rope binding her arm to the bedpost. She quickly turned her head giving him a questioning look.
"Now princess don't make any sudden moves I am going to cut you loose." he said to her.
Tara didn't know what he was up to but she didn't move just in case. He continued to cut all her restraints freeing her. Her limbs were numb from not moving for such a long time. The blood rushed through her limbs making her feel as if needles were stabbing her all over. After a few minutes of just laying still she started to gather her thoughts. She didn't think he would just let her go. She knew he was up to something but she had no clue as to what it was.
"Now how does that feel princess? Does it feel better?" Wade asked. All she could do was roll her eyes.
Where are the other men that came with wade? Tara thought to herself. He couldn't have just let them go and he stood by himself. The door opening and wade's voice brought her out of her train of thought.
"Well it was great spending time with you princess. Be sure to wash up. You're looking a little worn." Wade said cheekily walking out of her bedroom. She looked around the room noticing her gun was still on the table next to the bed. She slowly and painfully rolled on her side and as slowly as possible tried to sit up. She didn't trust that Wade and his cronies left so she reached for the gun. Taking deep shaky breathes she rose to her feet. Her legs felt like jello but she had to make a run for it. She couldn't just wait around while he played games with her.
Her legs trembled every step she took. She made it to the bedroom door and quietly opened it. She poked her head out checking for any signs of the men in her house. Not seeing anyone she walked as fast as she could toward the back door since it was closer. She was just turning the knob when she was thrown to the ground. The fall knocked the wind out of her and caused her to cry out in pain. She tried to get up but the man was stronger than her.
She looked around for the gun she dropped spotting it about a foot away. She struggled to get out of the mans grasp and reached as far as she could to get the gun. The man trying to strangle her was so busy trying to hurt her that he didn't see what she was reaching for. She finally grabbed the gun and turned her body the best she could and shot the man without any hesitation. The bullet went through his forehead and his limp body fell on her. She was trying to get him off of her when the rest of the men, including Wade and Jake came in. they saw what she did and ran at her trying to grab the gun. Before they reached her though she shot Jake twice in the chest and stomach.
"You stupid little bitch! I'm going to enjoy this!" Wade yelled raising his fist and hitting her directly in the face. The three other men followed his lead and began to beat her to a bloody mess.
After about a half hour of beating her, the men gathered their dead friends and equipment they brought and left without a second glance.
Unknown to the men exiting the house, a neighbor was calling the police and getting a good description of the guys.
She heard a gun shot while she was sleeping. She thought it came from Jax and Tara's but she knew Jax was out of the state and thought Tara was at the hospital. She went to her window to look outside and noticed a black pickup parked in front of their house. It didn't have charming plates so she got nervous. She called the police just to make sure everything was ok. After her phone call she spotted the Cutlass parked in front of her house and worry swept through her. She threw her robe on and ran next door to see if Tara was in the house and if she was ok.
The men were gone by the time she made her way next door. She went to the back door and was about to knock on the door only to find it slightly open. She looked around making sure no one else was around before slowly pushing the door open. The house was pitch black except for the little bit of light from the door being opened. She looked around and then she spotted her.
Tara was on the kitchen floor with blood all around her and on her. Her face was battered and she wasn't moving. Maggie, the neighbor, ran to her on the floor and starting checking her.
"Tara? Tara? Please answer me! Tara! Oh my lord what did they do to you." Maggie was hysterical. She wasn't friends with Tara but she never had an issue with her. They would always have polite small talk when they saw each other. Maggie lifted Tara's head and gently rested it on her lap. She caressed her face saying soothing words even if she couldn't hear them. That is how the police found them. Maggie in her nightgown sitting in a puddle of blood holding Tara's head in her lap.
Chief Unser got out of his cruiser and knew this would be bad. He didn't know what to expect seeing how it was Jax Teller's house. He made his way into the house following the other officers to the back of the house towards the kitchen. On his way back he looked in the open door along the wall and noticed it was the bedroom. Just looking at the bed and seeing all that blood his heart dropped. He rushed to the kitchen to see the medics loading Tara's body onto a stretcher.
This was not good. Not good at all. What would he tell Jax and how could he. He had now idea what happened here and who did it. It was a gruesome scene to take in. It made him think about Gemma's attack and what followed after. Now there was going to be another war. The only difference was that Tara was with Jax, the wild card. Jax has a bad temper with a short fuse. Once Jax found out there would be blood to pay.
"Is she alive?" Unser asked the paramedic closest to him.
"Yes, but barely. She has lost a lot of blood. She was raped and beaten badly. Chief she also has third degree burns on her stomach and upper thighs. I don't know how she is still breathing but by some miracle she is." the paramedic said sadly. He knew Tara from the hospital.
"Ok. Thank you. I'm going to ride in back of you guys if you don't mind?" chief Unser asked. Before leaving he spoke with the officer in charge. They went over the possible idea's of what happened for a few minutes.
He felt responsible in a way because he was in charge and he was supposed to watch out for the Sons families.
After arriving at the hospital the chief went to inform Gemma of the news. On his way to her room he thought of how to say what happened but nothing seemed like the right thing. He just had to tell the truth.
He nodded at the agents by Gemma's door and asked if he could see her. The guards told him no. He explained that it was a family emergency but they still wouldn't budge. He was arguing with them when agent Stahl walked up to them asking what the issue was.
"I have to tell her something personal. Its family related. You'll probably hear about it tomorrow but I need to tell her before anyone else does." Unser said and he looked truly sincere. Stahl didn't know what he was talking about but let him go in anyway.
"If this is not about what you said and is some type of scheme I will personally have your badge. Do you understand Unser?" Stahl said looking him straight in the eyes. He just rolled his and entered Gemma's room.
Gemma was asleep when he entered. He walked to the side of her bed and sat in the chair next to her. Sensing someone around her Gemma awoke to see Unser looking worn out and tired. She immediately thought of the boys. Knowing what she was thinking Unser spoke up.
"Gem it's not the boys." he said. She let out the breathe she was holding relieved.
"So what's wrong? You look like something is extremely wrong." Gemma said.
"Well darling, something is beyond wrong. It's the Doc." He said.
"What's wrong with her? What happened did she loose the baby?" Gemma asked getting worried about Tara.
"What? She's pregnant." Unser whispered. He rubbed his face thinking of having to tell Gemma about how Tara is lucky to even be alive let alone a baby.
"What happened Unser? Why are you not answering me? Did she leave again?" Gemma asked musing out loud. She started cursing about how Tara could do this to Jax again and how she always leaves.
"Gemma stop! She didn't leave. She's in the hospital in surgery right now fighting for her life." Unser yelled at her.
Gemma stopped rambling and just stared at Unser. Did she hear him right? Did he say Tara was fighting for her life?
"What happened? Why is she in surgery? Tell me dammit. TELL ME!" Gemma screamed.
"Please tell me what happened to her." Gemma pleaded.
"Well we got a call about an hour ago reporting gun shots. When I found out where the location was I jumped in the cruiser and headed straight over. Gemma it was Jax' house." He took a break to take in a deep breathe before he continued. Gemma waited and pleaded with her eyes for him to tell her.
"By the time I got there, there were already officers and paramedics all over the place. I walked toward where the scene was at but on my way to the kitchen I passed the bedroom. The door was open and I could see blood all over the bed and a trail leading toward the kitchen. When I got to the kitchen it was a mess. Everything was destroyed. On the floor in front of the door laid Tara's battered body." at that Gemma sucked in a harsh breathe. What did they do to her.
"There was blood everywhere. She obviously put up a fight." Unser said.
"Chief what exactly did they do to her? What was it about? She's not a bad girl to have enemies." Gemma said sadly.
"Well….. She was raped." at this Gemma let out a cry. She knew what that felt like. The only difference was that she wasn't pregnant. She must have lost the baby, Gemma thought.
"That's not it." Unser said. "What do you mean that was not it? What else could they have done?" Gemma asked. Then she thought about it. They could do a lot of things.
"They took what the officers, who found her assumed was a torch to her. They burned her up real good." He continued. Gemma was listening and could only imagine what that felt like. Tears were rolling down her face thinking of what the woman she once thought of as a daughter went through.
"They also beat her to a bloody mess. She was barely breathing when I got there. As soon as we got here they took her into surgery. I'm so sorry Gemma, I don't know what to do" Unser said weakly.
"I don't know what to tell Jax. He already has so much on his plate I don't think he will make it out of all this sane." Gemma said.
Her and Unser spent the next few hours talking about what was to come. Gemma did send Unser out though to inform the doctors of Tara's pregnancy. He also asked one of the nurses who knew Tara to keep Gemma and him informed on her status.
Two hours later the same nurse Unser spoke to came in to Gemma's room with the news.
" Mrs. Teller Tara is out of surgery. She is stable and will be in recovery for a while but then she will be moved to a private room." The nurse said meekly.
