Day At The Mall

Rayne
Well today promises to be something different. Shannon and Irena have decided they need to take me shopping. We are in a mall, going to different stores, and I don't have Hope with me, which is kind of throwing me off.
I keep starting to look for her but she's not here. Night and Hollow are watching her while we're out. Shannon had given me a breast pump and I'd made up a bottle for her, and Night is going to do the feeding today.
I had actually teased him this morning, when I gave him the bottle of breast milk, I asked if he wanted the nursing cover. I just paused for a second not really believing that I was teasing this man, and had a split second of panic that I'd be in trouble. However, he found it amusing and laughed and kissed me on the forehead.
This place is rather chaotic. I haven't been around this many people ever. The noise is kind of constant, and there's strange smells, and so much crap I don't know where to look.
It does get better when we go into a*****e, at least then it's just what's in the store, an the rest becomes background noise. I am not sure what to look at or pick, I have never had the opportunity to do this, so I am lost.
I think they finally clued in, "Honey, you don't have a clue in hell what we're doing, do you?"
I shook my head,"I've never been shopping like this. So, no, this is kind of a lot, and I have no idea what to get or anything."
I think they could tell that I was getting a bit overwhelmed, "Sugar, come with me." Shannon took my hand and led me to a rack of all sorts of clothes hung together.
"What we are going to do it, take just one rack at a time. Don't worry about anything else, just look through the clothes here, and if you see something you like, you let us know, or take it off the rack and hang onto it." Shannon stayed by me and gazed at the clothing as well, right beside me.
I did what she said and i just started going through the clothes. Some were, in my opinion, horrible, but I did find a few that I thought were pretty or cute, and I hung onto those.
"Okay, now you have a few in your hand. What we'll do it walk with you to the dressing rooms, that's where you try things on, and see if you sill like it. If you do,than that's something we'll buy. The more things we find like that, the easier it will be, because you'll start to discover what you like and don't like.' Irena said as they walked me to a door in a line of doors, and opened it to a little room with a lot of mirrors.
I tried on some of the clothes, and I actually found two that I thought looked good. I asked the girls their opinion, and they agreed with me. So those went in what they called the "keep" pile.
I was absolutely ready to be done with this. Obviously they were having much more fun doing this than I was. I thought this was tedious. I just didn't see all the enjoyment they were obviously getting.
We decided to get lunch, and they took me to something called a "food court", and I saw it was a giant space with lots of tables and chairs, and even some booths. Then there were different places selling different kinds of foods all around the space.
They asked me what I wanted to eat, and again I looked at them with wide eyes, completely clueless. They took pity on me and took me to a Chinese place, which they like to eat at. They even ordered me a few things cause I didn't know what I liked or anything.
Then we sat at a table, with these oI overflowing plates of food, and big drinks, and all dug in. I discovered I liked sweet and sour chicken, and I liked something called an egg roll. I didn't like another thing they said was chow main, then I liked the rice with all of the vegetables and meat in it.
We were finishing up when I happened to look up and froze. It took me a moment to believe my eyes were seeing what I thought they were. I just kept staring at him trying to make myself believe he was standing there and say something.
The girls suddenly clued in to my state, and Irena put her hand over mine, "What's wrong Rayne?"
"It's Buzzard, my dad's next in command at the MC, he's standing over there talking to that girl." I couldn't look away, I was terrified he would see me and come after me with all these people around, and Shannon and Irena were with me as well.
"Okay sweetheart, here's what we're going to do. We are going to get up and you will walk in front of us, so we hide you. Then we are going to walk out of the food court, and go to the entrance we came in, do you remember which one?" I shook my head, "Okay, no problem we do, and we'll get in the car and drive back to the clubhouse."
I nodded and pushed back my chair and stood up. Which was exactly the wrong thing to do. I guess my hair is kind of an odd color, being so light, and he must have recognized me.
"Rayne, is that you girl? You better get your ass over here to me right now." I looked at him, and then Shannon and Irena grabbed my hands and we started running.
I heard a mumbled curse word and then I heard his boots pounding as he ran after us. My mind was spinning out about how I could keep these women safe, and make sure they got back to my baby.
I did see Irena with her phone in her hand, but she was hitting buttons without looking, so I wasn't sure what she was trying to do. Then I heard Digger's voice coming out of it.
"We're in trouble, and we need assistance right now at the mall. The second of the Savages is in pursuit, trying to get to Rayne." I heard her breathe into the phone as we kept running, but he was gaining on us, and I knew he was going to catch up in a moment.
Then I saw a chair, it was placed to the side like it was for people who were tired of walking and just needed to sit down for a second. I veered to the side just a bit and grabbed the back of the chair.
It must have been fear and adrenalin, because I don't know how I managed to lift that chair and swing it at his head as he came barreling at us, but I did. He went down in a heep and the three of us started running to the exit again.
I really thought we were going to make it when I was tackled from behind. I hit my head but didn't go out, and I was fighting to get away. He was really heavy though.
He flipped me over and was grinning down at me with that grin he always had before he hurt me, but I wouldn't let him touch me. I punched him in the face and neck, and anywhere I could reach. Shannon and Ireana were both pummeling him from behind.
"You stupid f*****g b***h, we knew it was you who ratted us out. Blood is gonna kill you and he's gonna let me help him. I will tear you apart and love your screams while you die." he grabbed my throat and started banging my head on the floor, but I didn't stop fighting.
He was trying to ward off the attack by the girls and I was determined to keep them safe, so I just kept going, but I could tell my vision was getting wobbly as he hit my head. Then I heard a shout, and Buzzard looked up.
"You're lucky today you cunt, but we'll get you." he spat at me and got up and ran the other way.
Irena and Shannon were both crying and upset as they helped me off the floor. I could feel something running down the back of my head, and I figured I was bleeding.
I saw Digger and two other club members running to us, and I smiled, just as everything went black.
