Socket still bares the guilt from his sister being hurt years ago, he just doesn't seem to be able to get passed it. He wouldn't have joined the Broken Demons if it weren't for what happened, and while Evie now lives a normal life, Socket has yet to...

Natalie didn't sleep much last night, but I just held her through the night. We didn't talk much either, we tried to watch a movie in bed, but neither of us could focus. Cordelia brought us food, but neither of us ate much. I wish I knew what to do or say to take it away. To bring back the funny upbeat Natalie, the Natalie I love.
We finally both said it yesterday, I should be happy, but did she say it because she meant it? Or in the heat of the moment? Does she regret saying it? She's in the shower right now, the number of times we've showered together, part of me wants to go in there and replace the memories of him with me, but the rest of me doesn't want to scare or, or make her have to push me away. There's a knock at the door an I answer it to see Imelda
"How's she doing?" She whispers as I step out into the hall.
"Not good, She didn't sleep much last night and she's barely talked to me." I reply.
"That monster, thank god you saved her." She says placing her hand on my shoulder
"Give her time and we'll all help her through it." She sighs "Ice told me you had something to take care of today so I'll take care of her while you're busy."
"Thanks, maybe some space from me today will be good for her." I sigh
"It's not you, it's what happened. She told me she finally said 'I love you' she wants to be with you Socket, just give her time to come to terms with yesterday." Imelda replies.
"Thank you for saving our girl." She says before pulling me into a hug.
"And welcome to the family, finally Nat and I can double date, it's going to be so much fun!" Imelda smiles as she opens the door and walks into the bedroom
"Go handle your business, I'll have her laughing by the time you get back." Imelda says as she walks across the room
"Cover your bits, bestie coming in!" She calls as I watch her disappear into the bathroom. I grab my cut, cell and cigarettes before leaving the bedroom and heading for the kitchen.
"How's she holding up?" Evie asks as I sit down beside her
"Not great, but Imelda is with her." I reply as Izzy serves me breakfast.
"We're going to have a salon day to cheer her up, we haven't had one for a while. So we'll all be out of your hair and you boys can handle your business." She says
"You know?" I ask
"Reaper told me, don't get mad. When I heard she was taken I got upset but Reaper told me you'll make him pay for it, he deserves it." She says placing her hand on my shoulder
"You should be proud you saved her. You would've done the same for me if you had the chance. You're a good man Elijah." She adds. I finish breakfast and take my plate to the sink
"Where's Killer?" I ask Ice as he bounces Isla on his knee
"He's in the armoury." Ice explains and I nod. We have a hidden room in the back of the armoury for shit like this. I leave the kitchen and make my way to Killer. As I enter the armoury I can hear Cordelia laughing
"Oops, Sorry, hopefully I'll get it this time." I push open the door to see Jack and Killer holding Vince down while Cordelia leans over him.
"Hold still!" Cordelia scolds before slapping his face
"What's going on?" I ask as I step inside
"Just having trouble finding a vein." Cordelia says innocently. Why is she taking his blood?
"There we go, eighth times the charm." Cordelia smiles as the vial begins to fill with blood. After she's done Killer and Jack release him, but he's still tied to the chair
"All yours baby, thank you." Cordelia smiles looking up at her husband before he leans down to kiss her.
"Have fun with your toy boys, remember my favourite was to slit their throats, fun to watch 'em bleed out." Cordelia smirks at Vince as he turns pale. I follow her into the armoury
"Why were you taking his blood?" I ask
"To test it for Nat." Cordelia replies like I should understand
"Why? What's going on?" I ask confused
"Oh shit, she didn't tell you? Ok don't freak out on me I'm sure she's fine, but Natalie swallowed some of Vince's blood. As it takes time for it to show up in testing Nat I've taken his and if he doesn't have anything she's clear." Cordelia explains
"What if he does?" I ask
"Well, it's a really low chance, but not impossible, so if he tests positive then Natalie will need to get tested, but I'm sure it won't come to that. As soon as I have the results you'll know." Cordelia says before walking off. Well that's just added fuel to the fire, this mother fucker is going to pay for everything. He'll regret the day he laid eyes on my woman.
"The boyfriend returns, you interrupted my fun yesterday, your girl is an energetic lover, don't you agree?" My fist plows into his jaw with a fantastic crunch and I smile when I see him spit out a couple of teeth
"Hang on a sec." Killer says as he pulls out his cell, seconds later the whole club piles in to the small room.
"Just get it over with and kill me you pathetic fuck. You'll never forget that I had my hands all over your girl, she'll never forget me." Vince smirks
"Trust me, I'm going to remember today more than yesterday, I have quite the plan for you." I smirk
"Can I get a shot?" Ice asks from behind me
"Go ahead." I nod, I know Ice cares a lot about Natalie because she's best friends with Imelda and their daughter Isla loves Nat.
"While he gets his turn, let me lay out how this is gonna go." I move over to the wall of weapons and tools. Various knives hang alongside hammers and screwdrivers as well as bolt cutters.
"First, your fingers touched my woman, I'll cut them off." I say as I show him the bolt cutters in my hands
"Second, your tongue touched my woman, I'll cut it out." I smile as Ice slams his fists into Vinces body and face
"Then, your dick didn't touch my woman, but I'm going to cut it off anyway," I shrug.
"Hopefully, if you haven't bled out by then, well then the fun will really begin." I smirk as I slip off my cut, handing it to Knuckles, before slipping on one of the plastic aprons
"This is gonna be messy, I fucking love it." Reaper growls. Ice finishes pounding Vince with his fists and I grip his jaw roughly, pulling his tongue
"See this." I say as I look at his fucked up tongue
