A Flicker of Redemption

Chapter 22

Angelika was in the kitchen the following morning sipping on her morning cup of coffee when she was approached by an irate Tara. The brunette expressed how much she distrusted and disliked the blond and how she'd never make it as an 'ol lady or with the club. Tara told her that no one would ever like her once they figured out what she knew. Angelika tried to ignore her and leave the kitchen but Tara pushed her back. The blonde's heart rate sped up as her fight-or-flight instincts kicked in. Trouble was brewing and she tried to get out of the kitchen but Tara wouldn't allow it.

The brunette whipped out a knife making Angelika's pulse quicken even more as she tried to keep from getting stabbed. 'The doctor bitch is fucking crazy!' she thought as she tried to duck out of the way and leave the kitchen. Before she knew it, Tara struck out, sticking the blade into her left arm making her yelp out in pain. "Fucking bitch! I'll teach you!" Tara shouted before stabbing Angelika in the upper chest closer to her shoulder. Angelika yelled out in pain as her hand immediately went to the chest wound. The blond took out her knife to defend herself from any more attacks. As Tara went to stab her again, Gemma entered the kitchen after hearing Angelika's scream.

"What the hell is going on in here?" Gemma inquired.

"The crazy doctor bitch stabbed me! For no reason!" Angelika shouted.

"Tara!" Gemma scolded.

"You're all too blinded by her sweet, innocent act to know what she's really like." Tara hissed.

Angelika was beginning to feel faint as she stumbled her way out of the kitchen. Gemma laid into Tara for attacking Angelika and her wild accusations. Angelika didn't get far before she passed out on the floor. Tig was the first to realize something was wrong as he exited the hallway to the dorms. He bent down to check her out and roll her over.He realized she had two stab wounds, one to her chest and one to her left arm.He got up and rushed to get Chibs so he could check her over and doctor her up then he went to get Happy. Jax was leaving his room when Tig was explainingwhat he'd seen. The blond biker leader headed straight into the kitchen to hear his mother laying into his wife about stabbing Angelika and her crazy accusations.

Happy was seething as Chibs leaned down to check her pulse. The medic told Happy to go sit on the couch while he and Tig moved Angelika to lay on the couch with him. They rested her head on his lap so Chibs could doctor her chest since it seemed to be the most severe wound. Chibs didn't think anything vital had been hit only a small vein which was why she was still bleeding so much. He had Tig go wash his hands because he was going to need help in stopping the bleeding before stitching her back up. Happy kept running his hand through her hair in a feeble attempt at making her feel better even though she was still out.

Tig washed his hands quickly, dried them off, then left the heated kitchen. Jax and Tara were in the middle of a loud argument about Angelika while Gemma stood by adding her two cents into the conversation. Chibs had Tig hand him what he needed from his medical bag as he worked on the blond on the couch. As Chibs was fixing the nicked vein in her chest, Angelika came too. She tried sitting up but Chibs told her to lay back down. The young blond heard Tara's voice and was determined to get up and teach her a lesson about messing with her. Happy had to hold her down to keep her from going any where and so Chibs could finish doctoring her up. "Look at me, little girl." Happy commanded making her look up at him.

"The lockdown is being lifted. She'll be going home here soon. You won't have to see her unless another lockdown is called." Happy informed her.

"I'm gonna gut that bitch!" Angelika hissed making Tig look up at Happy with raised eyebrows.

"No. You let me handle it." Happy told her.

"NO! Obviously talking doesn't work with this bitch. I've dealt with women like her before. Action is what makes them back off. Words don't mean shit." She stated before hissing at the pain.
