Blood Secrets: Tales of the Children of the Moon

Chapter Eleven: Not the Family Reunion She Dreamed Of

Every member of Black Veil Brides and Motionless In White made their turn at checking on Vixen while she finished Taylor's portrait. Taylor for the most part, was a good sport about the whole thing and remained still as each of the guys came in and examined her work. Vixen smiled as she got raving comments on the portrait and the other drawings she had done that she had in the binders in her bookshelf. Each member was especially impressed by the portraits she had done of them.

When Vixen finished with the Tattoo, Ashley was the one in the room. The look on his face was one of impression as Vixen wiped the tattoo down and did all the normal after tattoo procedures. She caught his look when Taylor hopped out of the chair and saw him jerk his head to the side. "I'll be out in just a sec Tay," Vixen said as Taylor walked out. Vixen closed the door to the tattoo room and crossed her arms over her chest. "Whats up Purdy?" she asked.

Ashley chuckled. "Honey, you don't want me to answer that question," Vixen shook her head and smiled. "Ever the man whore Purdy," she whispered. Ashley laughed.

"True. By the way, your Jason Andrews appointment called and said he'd have to reschedule," Vixen looked at Ashley confused. Ashley shrugged. "You were busy and Ive been in the business before so I took the call for you. Wrote it down on a sticky note. Your three-thirty appointment also canceled for the day. Kitty took that one. You look like you could use some help around here girl."

Vixen stared at Ashley in shock, before nodding. "Uh, yeah...yeah, I'm all by myself here. I just opened up a few months ago so its been kinda hard to find people willing to join a new and up and coming portrait specialist," Vixen said. Ashley nodded. "I know the feeling. Hey if you need some help, the guys and I aren't going anywhere for a couple months seeing as Sandra is planning her wedding out in Riverbank so if you want I can come on as a tattoo artist if you want?"

Vixen looked at Ashley in surprise. Before she could answer though, Andy's voice drifted through their minds. "Is she gone yet? Can I come out of here?" both Ashley and Vixen looked at each other and laughed. "Give me a sec to send Taylor off baby then you can come out," Vixen replied before walking out of the room Ashley on her heels.

They found Taylor in the lobby area passing around a small book in which each one of the guys were signing a page. Vixen watched as Ricky passed the book to the sixteen year old girl with black and purple hair, the girl who could only be her sister. The girl was about to pass it to the man next to her, a guy with half black half white hair, who Vixen could only believe was her brother, when Taylor stopped her. "I wanna get yours too, I mean you've gotta be like Ghost's sister or something, right?" Taylor said. Ghost and the girl shared a look before she nodded and signed the book.

Vixen waited for the others to finish signing the book before she rang up Taylor for her tattoo and sent her on her way. After that she whistled down the hall. "Fangirls gone baby, you can come out now!"

"Oh thank God!" everyone chuckled as they heard Andy say this before the click of the deadbolt was heard and he walked out. He walked up to Vixen and pulled her against him, one hand going to cradle her head behind her neck, the other gripping her waist and his lips crashing against hers. Vixen was taken by surprise by Andy's actions but nonetheless melted into the kiss, her hands gripping at his shirt.

Whistles and cat calls were thrown at them from the guys but the two ignored them, having a private conversation.

"Whats with the kiss?" Vixen asked.

"No fucking clue, I just felt like doing it. I felt like I needed to feel you close to me again," Andy responded. Vixen smiled mentally. "Me too," she whispered, sinking deeper into the kiss.

"Uh, guys, sorry to break up the smooching over there," Ashley said, his voice drifting into their minds again. "But uh, Andy...I think her brother's getting pissed off that your making out with his sister."

Both Andy and Vixen growled but broke the kiss, looking anywhere but at Ghost and Kitty. Finally Vixen cleared her throat and looked at Ashley. "So Ash, you said you did some tattoo work at one point right?" Ashley nodded. "What'd you want me to draw for ya boss?" Andy snickered at that. Vixen rolled her eyes. "What can you draw?"

"Anything and everything," Ashley responded. Vixen nodded and walked over to her computer desk there in the lobby and grabbed a binder. She flipped through the
ages before pulling out four pages, that she kept in plastic sleeves to keep them safe, and laying them out on the counter in front of them all. She'd pulled out four drawings she'd done of two wolves together. One was pure black with ocean blue eyes, the other a fiery red colour with stormy blue eyes. She'd seen the two wolves together in a dream a couple of days before and had finished the drawings the night she met Andy. She knew now that the black wolf was Andy himself seeing as she'd seen his wolf, but she still didnt know who the other one was.

Ashley picked up the four drawings and looked at each one in turn before looking at Vixen. "I want you to draw these two together, back to back. Portrait style," Vixen said. Ashley nodded before taking the notebook Vixen produced for him as well as the drawing supplies and reference photos and going over to the couch and beginning his work.



Two hours later, Ashley signed the drawing and set down his pencil, before getting up and handing the notebook to Vixen, who was currently sitting in Andy's lap on the other couch, much to the annoyance of Ghost it seemed by the look on his face.

Vixen took the book and smiled, impressed. Ashley had done the drawing exactly as she would have and in just as much detail. "Nice job Purdy. Now, I want you to tattoo it."

"On who?" Ashley asked, already knowning the answer. "Me," Andy said, staring at the drawing. Ashley's eyes widened. Oookay, maybe he HADN'T known the answer. "I would've thought you would have wanted the tattoo Vixen?" Ashley asked looking at her quizzically. Vixen nodded. "I do and honestly I was going to say myself but Biersack said he'd take the heat if you make any mistakes or anything like that-"

"Not that I think you will bro," Andy added, lifting his hands in a form of surrender. Ashley raised a brow at him, before chuckling. "I get it. Test run. If you want, when I'm done with Andy and if you like it I can give you one?"

Vixen nodded before sliding off Andy's lap and heading for the back room, Andy and Ashley on her heels.



A short time later Ashley put down Vixen's spare tattoo machine and smiled, wiping away the ink on Andy's ribs. They'd chosen a rib tattoo cause it was easier to hide with his clothes and the war paint on stage so people wouldnt ask too many questions. Vixen came up behind Ashley and looked at the tattoo impressed once more. "Very nice Purdy," she said, impressed. Andy got up off the chair and looked in the mirror there in the room and smiled. "Damn Ash. That's awesome!"

"How's it look?" the young girl named Kitty asked, coming into the room. Vixen smiled at the shy look she gave Ashley before she turned to Andy who showed her. Her eyes widened. "Wow! Thats beautiful!" she whispered coming up to Andy.

Andy looked at Vixen and raised a brow. "I think my baby sister has a thing for your beta Biersack," she said mentally as she took off her t-shirt, laying down in the chair on her side. She planned to get her tattoo in the same place. She had a high tolerance for pain thanks to Michael so she could easily take a rib tattoo.

Andy came up behind her and noticed a shimmer happen on her back. Curious, he reached his fingers out towards it, only for Kitty to grab his hand in a tight grip. "Dont. You'll hurt her," Kitty said, her low voice drifting through Andy's mind. He looked at the young teen quizically. "Scars from a whip. She hides them with magic." Andy's eyes widened at first before recognition hit and he nodded, removing his hand.

"How did you know?" Vixen asked, making the two of them jump. "The blood magic you used to conceal the wounds," Kitty whispered, fidgetting. "Only those of your blood could see what is hidden beneath the bloods concealment charm." Vixen just nodded, staying silent as Ashley came back in with a fresh stencil and began her tattoo.



Half way through the tattoo Vixen spoke again. "So Kitty, do you have anything to do besides following our brother around?" Kitty looked up from where she sat in a chair in the corner of the room and shook her head at Vixen. "I'm the guy's merch girl during tours but otherwise no. Why do you ask?" Vixen gave a slight nod, making sure not to move so she didn’t screw Ashley up. "Want a job? I could use the help. And it would keep you closer to me."

Kitty looked at Vixen in surprise. Vixen smiled. "Hey its something to do while our brother's enjoying his day job and besides you can meet Faith tonight- Ashley that needle better not go anywhere near me when you have fear running through you like that!" Vixen yelled as Ashley, who had been dipping his outline needle in black ink, froze at Faith's name. Ashley gulped and shut off his machine.

"You know Faith Wilson?" Ashley asked, placing the machine on the table. Andy, who was sitting in a chair beside Vixen's, holding her hand, snorted in laughter. "She lives with her," he mumbled, not looking at his beta.

"WHAT?!" Ashley yelled. Vixen and Andy flinched. "Are you INSANE Andy? You slept under the same roof as the Hunter that has hunted our species for her entire LIFE! She could have KILLED you!"

"She would have," Vixen said, placing a black towel that Andy handed her, in front of her black lace bra she wore, as she sat up and faced Ashley. "But she didnt. And the reason she didnt was because of me. Faith and I have an agreement between one another that we dont kill one anothers informants or alliances. And Andy just happens to be both when it comes to me."

"That and Marilyn seemed to have a tight leash on her," Andy added looking at Vixen quesyioningly. Vixen shrugged. "Hey dont look at me I dont ask about her sex life. Dont want to know," Vixen shivered at the thought. Andy stuck out his tongue in disgust and shuddered.. "Alright, I need to bleach my brain now," he grumbled. Vixen nodded in agreement her face scrunched up. "Oh yeah, me too. God thats disgusting."

Ashley cleared his throat and glared at the two of them. "You," he pointed at Vixen. "Lay back down. I work, you two explain. Start with last night." Andy and Vixen looked at one another before shrugging. Vixen did as Ashley told her to do and the two began their explainations. In detail.



By the time the two were done everyone had crowded into the room to listen and Ashley had a look of mock disgust on his own face. "Okay I think I'm the one who needs brain bleach now," he grumbled. Kitty, who'd come to stand beside him at some point during her sister and Andy's explaination, nodded in agreement. "Yeah that was way more info than I needed to hear."

"Oh please," Vixen and Andy said in unison, rolling their eyes. "Its not like we fucked or anything!"

"No but thanks for the mental images you two," Ashley said shaking his head as he worked on shading in the fur of the red wolf. Ghost cleared his throat from across the room and Vixen rolled her eyes again. She was already beginning to get annoyed with having an over protective older brother.

"So, you were pregnant at sixteen?" Ghost asked, his arms crossed over his chest. Andy rolled his eyes this time. Out of ALL the things the two of them had just explained, THAT was the one he got stuck on? Not the torture his little sister went through? Not being caged up and fed on by ruthless vampires who raped her mentally and physically on a daily basis? Seriously?

"Devin!" Kitty scolded and Andy turned to look at the girl. Her soft brown eyes had begun to darken and Andy knew from his experience with Vixen, however short it was, that that couldnt be good. "Its not," Vixen whispered in his mind. "She has powers, but their uncontrolled. Devin's full wolf. Kitty and I aren't. He didn't know what to do when she came into her powers so he just let her be...Igget."

"What's an 'Igget'?" Andy asked. "Supernatural. It’s a term used from the tv show as another form of 'idiot'," Ashley explained, his voice drifting in. Vixen looked over at him. He sgrugged. "What? Its a good show!" Ashley looked at Kitty and an idea popped into his head. "Your sister's a telepath as well right Vixen?"

"As far as I know yes. Why?" Vixen replied. Ashley nodded. "Have an idea hang on." He had no clue where this hair brained idea had come from, but he felt the sudden need to calm the young girl down. And protect her from the potential wrath that could come from her brother.

"Do you have any idea how insensitive you sound Devin?" Kitty continued. She'd heard the whole conversation between her sister, the Black Veil Brides Alpha, and Ashley and had almost laughed when Vixen called their brother an Igget. But she was still angry and still planned to rip her brother a new one.

"What do you mean 'insensitive' Kitty? She got pregnant at SIXTEEN! Your age!" Devin yelled back. Kitty gritted her teeth, her fists clenching. "So that was all you got out of that? Not her being tortured? Beaten? Raped? Having her blood drank from her veins forcfully everyday? Seriously?"

Kitty felt a hand being placed on her's and she glanced down to see that Ashley had placed his hand over one of hers. Shortly after she felt herself begin to relax and Ashley's voice filled her mind. "Kitty, sweetheart, you need to calm down. Your powers are uncontrolled and unpredictable. That mixed with your emotions makes for one very volatile cocktail." Kitty nodded and took a deep breath, beginning to calm but Devin's words made her anger spike again.

"I do care about that Kit, but god damnit my little sister had a kid at sixteen!"

"Did you listen to a word she said Devin?!" Andy growled, his gaze burning holes into Ghost. "She lost her daughter you moron. And her son when she was seventeen. Both are pretty sore subjects. You would know if you took a moment to just read your sister's body language instead of running your mouth!"

Ghost growled before his gaze turned to Vixen, who refused to look at anyone but Andy. The hand she had entwined with his was clenched tight together, her knuckles turning white. Andy was right. Vixen's body language was telling him right now that she was ready for a full blown panic attack.

And Ghost was the cause.

Ghost's eyes softened as he looked at his sister before he abruptly turned, shifted and took off out the back door of the shop. He couldn’t be around his sisters right now.

Not when he was that angry.

So instead he was going hunting.

For Kuza.
