Gimme Shelter
Title: Gimme Shelter
Rating: PG
Fandom: Sons Of Anarchy
Character: None mentioned by name, Clay's first person POV
Warnings: None
Notes: Written for Week One at brigits_flame. SoA fandom, but can be read as original as no specific events or characters are named, just alluded to.
Prompt: Gimme Shelter - Playing For Change
Summary: War is coming, shelter is not for them.
War is coming. There's no looking back now. There's a score to be settled, a debt to be paid. It has to be paid with blood. Tension throbs between everyone. We're all on edge because of the recent attacks. People we were supposed to protect got hurt and were violated on my watch. That doesn't happen to us. It must be answered. Violent and swift must be the answer because no one is allowed to do this to us.
War is just a shot away. There's no time to get shelter, not for us. We're the front lines and we protect them. Blood is what we know, violence our very life. A haze covers our eyes, red and thick. This has to end, but not now. Not when they attack us, hurt us. That doesn't go unanswered. Not for the ones we lost, the ones that lost something in the process.
Shelter is what we provide and now we're bringing war to our doorstep, but I can't see a way out of this. Not without bloodshed, nor do I want it to be without blood, if I'm being honest. They deserve much worse than what we're going to do to them.
It's time to end this.
