Keeper Of The Flame
Chapter 2: Panther Claims Jeannie (Angel)

Panther was worried about Jeannie his Angel. She just lay staring at the wall. She didn’t move she didn’t even acknowledge that he was there unless he gently turned her face to look at him.

It was as if she was a dam doll. The doc came in to change her bandages and check on her stitches. He looked at Jeannie and said to Panther.

"It is going to take a very long time for her to heal."

"Whoever did this to her was trying to program her to depend upon only them."

As the doctor started to walk away they heard her crying. They heard her mumbling. Panther and the doc slowly walked towards the bed.

"They heard her whimpering and saying names. Saying I do have brothers, I do have brothers and they will replace me."

"Say their names. Don’t forget their names. William, Michael, David, Timmy, Daniel, Johnny."

" I think I had an older sister."

" Remember Jeannie. I remember a girl was she, my sister. What was her name? Think, Think, more tears. What was her name?"

Crying "I can’t remember her name. My brothers will never forget me they will replace me."

"I want my brothers where are they."

" Even though they keep telling me my brothers sold me to them I know they are lying. They love me. They wouldn’t do that."

Then it got quiet and Panther knew she had fallen asleep.

Doc and Panther left the room and walked to the bar. They grabbed beers and sat with Their president and his brothers. Ace looked up and asked?

"How is she?"

Panther and Doc told them what they heard her repeating over and over.

"Doc said whoever did this to her was trying to brainwash her for some reason."

"They were trying to turn her against you."

Daniel slammed his fist on the table and said.

"I want them found and I want them found now."

" Watch their club where you found my sister and the other girl. Maybe this other girl Beth has family in an MC."

" Doc what condition is she in mentally."

"She is better than Jeannie."

" Let’s go talk to her."

They walked to Falcon’s room where they found the girl. Falcon invited them into his room. He introduced Ace and his brothers, and Panther to her.

She shyly said "my name is Beth."

"She said I had only been there for a few months I think. I remember more than your sister."

" I know she would repeat your names over and over and over reminding herself not to forget."

" Ace asked Beth do you have a family?"

" Yes, she said I do and you may not like who my family is."

Ace sighed and said.

"At this time it won’t matter. After all, we have their sister if you have brothers."

" My brother is the VP for the Wild Riders MC."

Ace grinned.

"He said. We are friends with them."

She let out a slow breath looking at Falcon and said.

"I’m glad."

Ace pulled out his phone and called the Wild Riders MC and Nathan picked up.

"Hey, Ace is everything ok?"

" We haven’t heard from you for a while."

" Nathan, we went to the Snake MC to collect but they had skipped out."

" They left two very precious things behind. Two women."

" My sister."

" You found Jeannie" he asked?

"After two years."

"Yes but we also found a girl who said her name is Beth and her brother is Blaize."

" Are you shitting me?"

" No."

" Just a minute."

I heard him yell Blaize come here. Then I heard "yes Nathan."

" He said to put her on and he must have given the phone to Blaize."

I handed the phone to Beth and said.

"Talk to your brother."

" She said Blaize is that you."

I heard crying on the phone and "Beth is it really you?"

" Yes," she said.

"He said you have been missing for 9 months."

" The Rage Riders found us. Me and their president’s sister."

"Jeannie. They found Jeannie too."

" Yes," Beth said.

"Are you ok he asked?"

" I am fine I found a man of my own here in the club."

" Who he demanded."

" Falcon."

" He said he is a good man. He will treat you right."

" I am coming up there tomorrow. You are only one hour away from us."

"Ok, Blaize. "

Then I heard him say "I got married and have several step son's, three stepdaughters and my own son."

" I will bring my Valkyrie with me."

" I love you, Beth."

" I love you to Blaize. See you tomorrow."

She gave the phone back to Ace.

Ace said, "Blaize, she has been hurt" he said walking away.

"He said sit down Blaize."

" She has a broken arm, leg, and she was physically abused. She has been raped both ways and she is 3 months pregnant."

Ace heard screaming and then Nathan took the phone and I heard what must have been chair’s being thrown.

"I told Nathan about Beth so he would understand."

" We will be there tomorrow."

" Ace I am bringing along a prospect I think was involved but could never prove it. When we get there I want you to make sure the doors are guarded and no one gets out."

" Will do" Ace said.

"We will do as you ask. See you."

He walked back in and said.

"We will celebrate you being returned to your brother."

" Falcon" yelled.

"She is not leaving me."

Beth reached up and grabbed his hand. She said.

"I am not leaving you. I am staying with you."

" Beth will you be my old lady, my Valkyrie" he asked.

"Yes, I will" she said.

Ace sent hunter to bring the box that arrived for Falcon.

When he came back he handed the box to Falcon. He opened it and said.

"I got you a cut. We all gave you the road name of the little fighter."

She grinned. "He said it is because you survived a rough patch in your life."

She grinned and put it on and said. Looking up at Falcon she said "I love it."

She pulled Falcon down to her and kissed. him. He was shocked. The bikers all clapped and congratulated them. Panther walked in and hugged Falcon and congratulated him and kissed Beth on her forehead. Just as he was standing up they heard a scream that made the hair on their arms raise.

"Everyone took off running towards Panther’s room."

When they got there they saw that Jeannie had fallen out of bed and was in a corner begging for someone not to hurt her. She was screaming when my brothers replace me they will come after your club.

She was covering her head and screaming stop. Stop I won’t tell. I won’t tell. Panther looked at her as she saw a prospect.

The prospect walked over and bent down.

"Please don’t rape me again. I promise I won’t tell anyone about you."

He lifted her chin and said calmly.

"You won’t tell them what?"

She said "that you are from the Wild Rider’s MC."

Everyone stiffened. He said.

"I know you won’t. It’s ok."

He stood up walked away clenching his hands into fists. Fuck he said. "They have to have a mole. The mole has to be a prospect. That is the only reason she would answer me like that."

"That fucker is giving every prospect a bad name. We need to call Nathan and let him know."

Ace said. "He has a suspicion."

" When they get here he asked that we guard the door and not let anyone leave. I told him we would."

"Good because whoever it is, if he tries to leave I will gut him."

Ace said. "No, we want him alive."

Panther walked over and picked Angel up and carried her back to bed. He told her he would be right back he was going to get her something to eat and her coffee.

He found out she loved coffee. They all walked out and he went to the kitchen and made his Angel a sandwich and chips and got her fresh coffee. He walked back to the bedroom when a club whore stopped him.

She said. "Panther you look like you need a release I can help you."

He looked at her with icy eyes and asked.

"Since when have I ever touched any of you whores. Why would I start now he said and walked around her to his room."

He walked in shutting and locking the door. He walked over to the bed and helped his Angel set up. As she ate he asked.

"Angel,"

she looked at him and said what. Panther asked, "do you like me?"

" Yes, I feel safe with you."

"No one can hurt me when you are here."

" That’s right" Panther said.

"I will never let anyone hurt you."

She looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

"What if they come here and demand you give me back?"

He said "I will kill anyone who tries to take you from me."

"Angel, would you like to live with me forever?"

" Can I?"

" Yes but you have to become my old lady or Valkyrie."

" What’s that" she asked.

"In the biker world that would be my wife."

She smiled and said "You would be my husband."

Panther grinned and with a red face said.

"Yes."

" Ok," she said.

"You will?"

" Yes, I will."

He said "you will have to tell the club members you agree to become my Valkyrie. Can you do that?"

" Yes, I can."

He said "we will do it after you eat."

" Ok," she said.
