Keeper Of The Flame

Olive and Rain came to talk to me.

"Olive stated that she is going to be claimed by Rages VP and Rain his enforcer. They will be going to the Rage Rider MC with them when they leave."

I watched as they cleaned out their bedrooms.

"I told them I wished them well and hoped that they had a happy life."

" When are you getting claimed at asked them?"

" Tonight. Please come."

" I will come to the club and see it."

" What time?"

" In two hours."

" Alright," I said watching the walk out of the door.

I closed and locked the door. I wiped my cheek. All my sisters seem to be getting claimed. All of them but me. I packed a few things in a backpack. I put it in the saddlebags and then added my wallet and locked them.

I turned the gas off in my RV and unplugged everything but the TV and computer. I had also put a small laptop in the backpack. I walked out and locked my RV.

I walked over to Ace's club and pulled Ace aside.

"I want to tell you that after Rain and Olive are claimed I am leaving for a while."

" Where are you going?"

" My cabin."

" When are you going to tell us where your cabin is?"

" Sorry, no can do. You will show up or send a prospect to check on me."

"When will you be back?"

" A month."

" Why Jessie?"

" Why not stay here and get to know Rage?"

" I can't. Not after what he did."

" Just be careful."

" I will, I promise. I just need to be alone for a while."

" Fine but you better call."

" I will, I say before walking over and sitting down."

" I talked to my sisters and told Roxie I was going to my cabin after the claiming."

She looked at me with sad eyes.

She said "I'm sorry Jessie."

" About what?"

" That you will now be the only sister not claimed."

" It is what it is" I said.

I then watched the claiming of Olive and Rain. I stood up and walked to them and congratulated them both. I also handed them each an envelope and then walked out of the door.

"What is in the envelope their men asked?"

We opened the envelope and looked.

"A letter and Oh, no she didn't."

" What?"

" She gave us $50,000."

We opened our letter and skipped over till we reached, "this is to help you with a down payment on a house of your own. I wish you both the best and hope that have many kids. at the end of the letter, we read "I want you all to be happy and have a wonderful life together."

"I hope you understand why I can't watch it and have to leave. Just remember that I will watch you from afar and the little ones you will have in the future."

" I also know that you understand the pain I carry knowing that I will never have what you two have and that I will love your children as if they were my own. As you know I will never have another child or be a mother again. We should read this letter when we are alone."

I looked for Jessie but did not see her. Then I heard the motorcycle start and drive out of the compound. Jessie had left.

We do understand the pain she carries with her. The man she thought would love her forever turned on her and their child. He had her child killed and she was left for dead.

I wiped a tear from my face as I drove toward West Virginia and my cabin. I will stay there and fight my growing depression. I have been more and more depressed since I chased Rage out of my RV. I want to be loved just like my sisters but I know that is not going to happen.

I drove for 4 hours before turning into a small restaurant and getting off my bike. I put my helmet on the bike and walked in and looked around.

Sit anywhere you want I heard. I walked over to a corner table where I could look out the window. I ordered coffee and country fried steak, mashed potatoes, and corn. I was almost finished when I heard the door open. I saw five bikers from the Viking MC walk in.

I finished my coffee and left a tip and paid the bill. I felt them watch me as I walked out and got on my bike. I started it and rode to the cabin. I arrived 15 minutes later. I pulled into the garage next to the Trailblazer I keep here. My neighbor comes over and takes it out for a ride to keep it from locking up.

I pushed the button on my bike and closed the garage door before unlocking the door and walking into the cabin. I had called my neighbor earlier and she came over and took the sheets off the furniture and stocked the kitchen for me. I always leave money in the small coffee can for her to pay for the food.

I opened the curtains and windows letting fresh air in. I made a pot of coffee and opened the front door. I walked back and filled a cup with coffee and cream before walking out and sitting on the porch.

I come here at least 2 to 3x's a year when I can. But today I am here because I need to remember why I don't want a man. And that is because they cannot be trusted. They will hurt you in the end. And they will cheat on you.
