Chapter 25

As we make it to the eating room, food is already laid out on the table. There's potato salad, macaroni salad, steaks, salads, baked potatoes, drinks, plates, silverware, and dessert.

What the hell, are we having a fucking feast?

A feast for what?

I watch as a tattooed hand reaches around me and grabs a plate. It starts to place everything vegetarian on my plate. I don't eat meat until it consists of chicken and turkey. I was blessed with chronic pancreatitis and some other issues when I was born. My lungs are prone to pneumonia and bronchitis. When I was 18 months old, I was hanging on to life. The assailant was bronchopneumonia. So, my lungs took a beating at an young age. I have to keep an inhaler on me at all times.

I glance up and see Damien handing me the plate. I give a shy smile and take the plate from his hands. I walk around the room and spot Kaiser, Everleigh, Blade, Felix, and Tinsley already sitting with their food. I walk over without a second thought and as Blade sees me, he slides down and makes room for me. The spot he vacated was directly beside Kaiser.

"You don't have to move from your uncle for me." I tell him.

"He's your uncle too. So, take the seat. We spend all day with our uncle. Now, it's your turn to take up his time." He says with a warm smile.

"I don't want to intrude though." I whisper out. Feeling horrible if I take their uncle from them. I guess the look on my face tells Everleigh everything she needs to know.

"You won't be intruding. We share and we won't hold a grudge against you. You're like our little sister now. So, enjoy the time with our uncles as you can. One day they won't be here and the little time you had with them will be all you have left. Why not make the most of it and take all the time you can get." Everleigh says with a bright smile. These kids don't care if I take their spot next to any of their uncles.

"Yeah. And if you're lucky. Uncle Kai might give you his bike. Or one of his bikes. Hell he might even go out and fix up the one in the shop for you. If you bat your eyelashes right." Blade says in a joking tone towards the end.

"I only rode one bike before and it wasn't by choice. However, I did love the wind blowing around me. It was fun. But, I don't know how to work one." My voice was loud and friendly at first and ended in an embarrassing whisper.

"That's okay sweetie. We can teach you to ride one. Right?" Grandma Kate says. And through out the whole clubhouse is a chorus of yes. I take a bite of my food when Dawson sees my plate finally.

"Vegetarian?" He asks.

"Well, sort of. It's a long story really." I glance up at him and say. He smiles down at me and ruffles my hair.

"I have all the time in the world to learn about you, my long lost niece." He says. Dylan kisses the side of my cheek as his twin walks to his seat on the other side of the table. Once everyone is seated, I begin to speak.

"My mom when she was pregnant had a rough time. We were born a little early. I had health issues like anyone else. Really. When I was 18 months old, I almost died from bronchopneumonia. I have weaker lungs so I have to keep my inhaler on me all the time. I ended up with chronic pancreatitis so I can't eat meat unless it's chicken, turkey, and seafood. I can't stand lobsters, crabs, or anything slimy. Fish I can do. You put an octopus tentacle in my face, I'll scream like I'm dying." I explain everything to them.

"Your birthday is when?" Draven asks.

"September 19th." I answer.

"Awe man! We just missed your birthday by two weeks. We could have thrown a huge birthday bash." Dawson whines out. I noticed after my explanation on why my plates all vegetables one of my uncles went missing. As soon as the last person had finished their plate; father number two calls out to everyone.

"Gear up. We're riding in thirty minutes."

I move around the crowd and try to find my missing uncle. My anxiety is spiking because I have no idea where he is.

"Princess, what's wrong?" Dawson asks.

"I can't find uncle." I choke out. Dawson glances around and a smile forms on his face. I look in the direction he's looking and spot the moppy haired uncle that went missing. My legs move before my brain could register what to do. I bump people out my way as I whisper sorry to each one. I ram my small body around him and my head rests against his stomach. You can hear the air leave his body from the impact.

"She's been worried about you Kai. You should feel ashamed of yourself." Dylan says in a joking tone.

"I'm sorry princess. I went to Wiz to have him make a few things for you. I have them on the pool table. Come." He explains. I walk to the pool table with him and the others.

"This is a belt, it has hidden compartments. One is for your inhaler. I need you to wear this tonight. It also holds both your guns and knives. It can also hold a few extra weapons. He's made the AR-15 even lighter for your smaller frame. These combat boots, if you tap the button on the heel on either one, a knife will spring out. If you want them back in, click the button and they'll retreat into your shoes. Again, wear these tonight. This we put together, it's a bullet proof outfit. The whole thing is including the assassin like face cover. If you're going into this battle, you're wearing it. Just like Everleigh, Blade, and Felix." He explains everything in detail.

"I also want to add. I have a Ruger with an ankle holster. I also have a knife that goes under your outfit. You tap your wrist, it'll extend out past your index finger. The blade part is past your finger so you can't chop your own limbs off. This piece, if you tap, click, or touch it; it'll shoot out blade fingertips out. Like Freddy Kruger for an example. You wear it under your outfit as well. It goes on your left hand; since your a lefty. Take a look at everything." Wiz says what the odd things in his hands were. He places them on the table. I pick up the outfit that's bulletproof and look at the front of it. I'm not paying attention to the room around me until I hear gasps and cheering. Confused, I look up at everyone.

"Turn it around." Mother number two says with tears in her eyes. I do as she says and my mouth is hung open.

On the back is the Creed MC logo. Where a title should go, it says Princess in big capital letters. Where a name should go says plainly Wild Fire. Tears begin to fall down my face as I hug the life out of my uncle.

A/N:

Last updated for a bit. Going to take a small nap before I get ready for my great uncles viewing. I wasn't close to him and had seen him since I was a child. Out of respect, I'm going to go to the viewing to pay my respects. And be there for my family. ❤️
