Thread: The Law of Love (Casket & Porcelain Bones)

Growing up the daughter of an abusive father, and a junkie drunk for a mother Dakota Lane developed thick skin. In elementary school and middle school she never fit in with the other kids. While all the other kids had nice clothes and parents with reputable jobs, Dakota only dreamed of having such a life. None of the other kids ever payed her any mind, unless is was to laugh at her due to her appearance or stories they had made up about her home life. Teachers didn't want to put the time and effort into lending a helping hand with the bullying or bruises her father left behind. It wasn't until high school came around that Koda finally found a group of kids she fit in with, the misfits. The misfits consisted of exactly the type of kids most would think, the weirdos, outcasts, addicts, and loners. It didn't take long for Dakota to start experimenting with drugs and alcohol with this new group of friends she had made. First it started out with smoking different strains of cannabis and drinking beer every now and again, but once the cycle started a monster slowly began to grow. As things at home became worse and Dakota's grade's started to drop she found herself turning to drugs and alcohol to help her cope. Pain pills, acid, cocaine, and amphetamines became her vice. Remarkably, she ended up passing all her classes and quickly Dakota approached her senior year. Only a few weeks into the new school year Dakota got called into the principals office to be greeted by two police officers, the principle, and her guidance counselor. Just as she could feel the anxiety growing inside of her, thinking she finally got caught under the influence, one of the officers spoke up. The next statement that softly came out of the officer's mouth his Kodi like a brick. Her mom had died due to an OD shortly after she had left for school that morning. Everything the young girl had been keeping inside all these years came out as tears began to pour down her cheeks. Not knowing what to do, she sat their shaking with sadness as she starred down at her hands in her lap. She despised her mother for what she had put her through but she still loved her beyond words. Knowing that if she going down the road she was headed she would soon end up like her mother, and that thought scared her more than anything else ever had. From that moment forward, Dakota had vowed to get clean and get her life back on track. Shortly after her mother's passing, her father disappeared without saying a word and never came back. Being eighteen at this point, Koda had no choice but to fend for herself. She had no prior experience or skill in life that she could use to get a job so she turned to the easiest thing she could find, stripping. Being young and attractive it wasn't had for the girl to make money and in no time she doing well on her own. Once she graduated high school, she was faced with the task of college and what she wanted to do with her life. After deciding that she wanted to be able to help people without having to deal with bodily fluids of any sort, Koda settled on becoming a therapist. She continued dancing to put herself through school, and after four years she had her degree. After a few months of working the quiet, almost boring life of a therapist Dakota started to miss the thrill and fun that came along with dancing, and was back to it within six months. Shortly after returning back to the club she started to notice a frequent visitor, and it didn't take long for him to notice her either. It wasn't until Hector requested a private dance from her that Dakota noticed his cut. At first knowing that he was part of the DDMC made her nervous, not wanting to say or do anything to set him off but after a few visits she started to warm up to him. EVentually one thing lead to another and whenever him and his wife got into a fight he would come see her at work, or give her a call. Hector never talked about the MC and even told Dakota not to bring it up whenever she mentioned it and after awhile she gave up on the subject. It wasn't until the two got to talking one night after a fight with his ole' lady that Dakota had brought up that she helped the owner of the club with his books that Heck, mentioned the club. He told her that one of the guys had been taking care of the clubs books but he wasn't one hundred percent confident with the job he was doing and asked Koda is she wouldn't mind double checking all his work. She had been to the club house a few times, to double check the books and keep Heck company but it was usually only when nobody else was around. Today however he called her up to ask her to listen in on a conversation he would be having with someone, because few people would think anything of a chick listening in. Pulling up to the club house in her blacked out Challenger, she stepped out of her car before shutting the door and looking over at the two prospects standing guard at the door. Laughing softly to herself, the petite young girl walked up to the front of the clubhouse and patted one of the guys on the shoulder as she passed. Her black stiletto boots clicked on the hard wood floor as she made her way inside. Lifting her black sunglasses from her face, she pushed them up on top of her head, pushing her long icy blonde waves from her face. Dakota's grey blue eyes wondered the room until she felt a hand grab her ass through the daisy dukes had on. Turning she saw a smirk upon Heck's face that made her smile, softly. Without saying a word she followed him to the booth seats in the back, and stood next to him for a moment before walking over to the bar to get him a beer. When she returned she saw another man sitting across from him as well as another guy she had seen around the club house before. Quietly, and with a smile she sat the beer down in from of Heck before leaning up against the side of the seats. Twirling her hair around her finger she acted as though she was paying no attention and was completely oblivious as to what was going on behind her but she was listening carefully to every word. After about fifteen minutes the group was finished talking and the one guy got up and walked out of the club house. She glanced down at Heck but due to his sunglasses and a blank face she couldn't read him very well. It wasn't until she head a new voice the she looked over at saw another guy had walked over. Koda's eyes looked him up and down as he was talking to Heck and she unintentionally blocked their words out. All she could think about was how sexy this guy standing next to her was. It wasn't until he mentioned her that Kodi, tuned back in to the conversation. A small smile spread on her lips at his compliment before she bit her inner lip to hide it. When Heck instructed her to introduce herself she stretched out one of her heavily tattoo arms and offered her hand for a handshake, I'm Dakota, but you can call me Koda, Kodi, or whatever tickles your fancy. It's nice to meet you. She said softly, as she looked over at the Lieutenant.
