Blood Secrets: Tales of the Children of the Moon

Chapter Fifteen: Taken

Vixen grinned at Ashley before head-butting the still confused vampire, knocking him back and releasing Vixen. Lightning quick Ashley tossed a silver dagger she was holding into the vampires chest, piercing its heart and dropping it to the ground. Vixen and Ashley smiled at one another and high fived each other. But the celebration was short lived for Vixen and Ashley both heard the gun go off and Andy's high pitched yelp of pain as the bullet pierced him.

"Andy!" Vixen screamed and both Hunter and vampire went running after the Alpha wolf and the man who shot him.

As it turns out, the man who shot Andy was Vixen's worst nightmare. A whip snapped at Vixen's arm as she raised her gun and it hit her hand, the spikes that covered the leather rope slicing into her hand and making her drop her gun. She shrieked in pain, bringing her now injured and bleeding hand in close to her and cradling it against her chest.

Another spike covered whip suddenly came out of the darkness and hit her. Or maybe it was the same one, Vixen didn't know, all she knew was that, as the whip wrapped around her, pinning her arms against her chest and mobilizing her, the spikes dug into her flesh and pain seared through every nerve in her body. She cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face as memories of her time at the warehouse, and Michael torturing her after every "client" had had their fill of her, rushed through her mind at a million miles a second.

Ashley had gone to check on Andy so she hadn’t seen the scene playing out before Vixen and the man Ashley had saved the girl from two years ago. If she had even caught a glimpse of what was playing out just yards away from her and the Alpha of the Black Veil Brides pack, Ashley would have called Chris and took off for Vixen, mentally calling for one of her band mates via her telepathic abilities- not to mention the link she shared with her miss matched band of supernatural pack/band mates- to aid the Alpha while her and Chris took on Kuza and saved Vixen.

"Your mine girl," Michael growled, pulling her to him with the whip. Vixen screamed in pain as she was pulled into Michael's arms by the whip, and fought him as best she could, but no amount of Faith's training had prepared her for this. No amount of training could ever prepare a person for their worst nightmare; her worst nightmare. The one thing she had prayed would never come true.

But it was, and there was nothing that she seemed to be able to do about it.

Vixen screamed for Andy to save her. She screamed for Ashley to come and take her away from Michael again, like she had all those years ago. She even called for her brother and sister. She called for Andy's beta Ashley. She called for Jinxx, Jake, even CC, men she didn't even know, had only just met today but knew that, because Andy seemed to care for her, that they would come to her aid. She screamed for Chris and Ricky, Ryan, Angelo, and even Balz who, while he may be a sweetheart normally, when someone messed with a person he cared about, like Vixen or his band/pack mates, and he became his supernatural self- a hybrid of vampire and werewolf (a mix of half and half)- he was a powerhouse and a terrifying force to be reckoned with. So she knew they at least would come to her aid if she called, especially after hearing her tale of what Michael had done to her for a year and a half- after she had lost her daughter and their relationship had spiraled out of control- earlier today. Every one of the boys had vowed to her that they would avenge her for what their so called "friend" had done and from that day forward protect her from the bastard if he ever showed his face or came near her again.

So where were they now? Why weren't they rushing to her aid now, like they promised? Where the Hell were any of them? Did they not hear her? "No, that's stupid," she thought frantically, as she continued to scream for someone to help her. She even called for Midnight through their link, but even he did not come running for her. What the Hell was going on?

She quickly figured out the answer when she calmed herself enough to listen. She opened her mouth to speak and said the simplest thing that came to mind. "My name is Vixen Marie Sola. I'm nineteen years old. I'm the apprentice Hunter of the most Notorious and Feared Supernatural Hunter Faith Wilson. And...I'm in love with the lead singer of the band, and Black Veil Brides werewolf pack Alpha, Andy Biersack."

Vixen listened as she spoke, but not a single word she had said had actually been spoken. She was sort of glad for the fact that not a single word she had spoken had actually been heard, seeing as the bit about Andy had not been intentional, or what she had originally planned to say (nor had she even realized the words were really true until she'd said them aloud...sort of). But in the end, she still had her answer. Her voice no longer seemed to work. Which could only mean one thing.

Francesca De Struct was around here somewhere.

Ever since Marilyn had told her about what Franccesca was, she had looked up Siren lore in her free time at the shop (aka earlier today when Ashley had been drawing her new tattoo), and she had found out that Sirens could take away or silence another human or supernatural beings voice if they willed it. And if she knew Francesca- which she did- the Siren may not have willed it herself, but if Michael had ordered it- which, if she knew Michael (and she knew him about as well as she knew Francesca), he would have done just that- then as his submissive, no matter how much of an abusive Dom Michael may be to her, (that was one thing Vixen didn’t know about the two, and hoped she NEVER found out), Francesca would have no choice but to obey the command.

"Grab the others!" Michael yelled to the remaining Vampires who had somehow escaped Vixen and her brother's groups of fighters. Each Vampire had a female, most likely human by their looks, hauled over their shoulders, and they nodded at Michael's command. "We have what we came for. Now it’s time to take our leave." The group of vampires nodded, hefting their captives higher up on their shoulders, before running off into the night, heading for the street at the far end of the graveyard.

"Franccesca my dear?" Michael called into the night as he threw Vixen herself over his own shoulder, fireman style, just like his vampire henchmen had done with their captives. Vixen froze at Franccesca's name. She didn't want to see the woman- creature- who made her lose her daughter all those years ago. But she wasn't given that choice.

A woman with platinum blonde hair and a full on leather outfit walked out from the shadows of the trees and headstones then, her silver blue eyes gleaming in triumph.

Vixen recognized her as the Siren Francesca De Struct immediately. The woman that, at one time, Vixen had considered a friend. No, more than a friend. Vixen had gone so far as to consider Franccesca a sister when she was sixteen. Now she knew better. Franccesca was no more than a manipulative monster who took advantage of Vixen's vulnerability and wish for a family and siblings. She was a Siren who had wanted Vixen out of the way because she had wanted Michael's affection all to herself. And she had known she wouldn't get it until Vixen had been out of the picture. So she had done just that. Or tried to at least. Michael had seemed to help her a long with it after a while there, but Vixen wasn't keeping score anymore.

"Yes Master?" Franccesca said seductively and if Vixen still had her voice she would have scoffed in disgust at the tone. Michael pulled Francesca against him, his black painted lips crashing against the similarly black painted lips of the pale skinned Francesca's.

Again, if Vixen still had her voice she would have been making gagging noises at the moment. What she ever saw in Michael Kuza she would never know. He was a sick, sadistic bastard and she couldn't wait to tear him apart.

"You did well tonight my dear," Michael whispered against his Siren lover's lips. Francesca smiled at these words. "Anything to please you Master," she whispered back.

Michael nodded. "Good. Let’s go. And make sure you cover our tracks. We wouldn’t want those mutts following us to our new hideout now would we?" Francesca shook her head and closed her eyes, chanting under her breath.

Vixen felt magic wash over her and she knew Francesca had done a non-tracking spell just then. "Fuck! I'm so screwed," she thought to herself, as Michael hefted her higher on his shoulder once more, took Franccesca's hand in his took off toward the street, taking the same path the vampires had earlier and heading for a set of cars that Vixen hadn’t seen earlier that were now waiting for them the two on the street.

"Andy, please...help me..."

Notes

Authors Note:

Oh Shit! Looks like Vixen's in a shit load of trouble here guys!
Okay, Honesty time. Originally, I hadn't planned for Chapter Fifteen to play out this way, but the idea came to me earlier tonight and I thought, "Holu Shit! Draaaaammmmaaaaa!!!" Lmao XD So yeah, this is how it ended up. My original plan was for there to be more fighting and for Taylor to be one of the High School kids that was doing the whole "stay a whole night in the cemetery without being run off by the ghosts or the cops" thing, cause I remember saying Taylor was supposed to be in this chapter, but yeah...that didn't end up happening as you saw.
Well, I do appologise for not putting her in here but I have a feeling she may end up in the next one...well, maybe. I cant figure out if I want her to be one of the girls Kuza took or not just yet but there is one new character that my friend Kat (Blackrosekitten) came up with in Blood Secrets that WILL be making an appearance in the next few chapters.
As for the next chapter itself, I have a feeling its going to move to Andy's view, or Hell probably everyone who fought in the graveyard. We may not see Vixen for a couple chapters as I want to get a bit of depth and background in with Ashley Costello and her group as well as all the others.
Many of you are probably also thinking, "okay, Andy, Chris, Ashley, as well as the rest of BVB, MIW, and NYD are all BANDS. Which, of course, means they have records to produce, and tours to go on, and all that awesomesauce shit"-(that I've totally always wanted to do myself- as well as many other people here and around the world I'm sure lol- but you get my point)-"so wouldn't all this interfere with that?"
I DID think of these things. If you remember, in one of the chapters Ashley (Purdy) mentioned they were in Modesto cause Sandra was getting married in Riverbank (which is a real town and is just a couple miles away from Modesto), and they're here for the wedding. As for MIW, they're of course here for Vixen.
As for NYD, you'll find out they're story and why THEY'RE here in the next chapter. I started to put it in this one but decided to wait on it and put it in the next one instead this way I could give you a bit of background on Ashley Costello and her band as well as what they are.
As for touring and records and stuff like that, here's what I'm thinking of doing: I'm thinking of having BVB and MIW cancel their tours and telling their managers- and producer's- its because of "family emergencies" at first but in the end, seeing as their managers (and again, producer's), of course would know what they are, would tell said managers and producer's exactly whats going on and (again) said managers and producer's would understand and do some press release making up some story about a family emergency or something happening to one of the band members.
Its just an idea I'm playing with right now, I havent roughed out the full details but when I do I'll let me know. Go ahead and pitch me any ideas you may have when it comes to this (I'll make sure to give ya credit for it lol) if ya want. I'm always open to ideas from my readers!

Thanks again for reading my story guys. Its really awesome that anyone is even reading this thing (even if it is just you at times Kat haha).

Anyways, I gotta go for now, I gotta do dishes and call my boyfriend (haven't talked to him all day and I miss him like freaking CRAZY...literally, I feel like I'm going insane over here at my place cause we havent been able to hang out in like 2+ weeks and its like, killing us both x.x).

Until next time guys! See you on the other side and Blessed Be!
