Blood Secrets: Tales of the Children of the Moon

Chapter Forty-One: Visions and a Plan

"I see that you have decided to join me, young Ravyn of the Garrison Pack," Raymond Vegas said as he walked up to a very weaponless Ravyn. Vegas smiled as he bowed to her. "It is very lovely to see you once more," he said chuckling. Ravyn glared at him as she shrugged off the men, Vegas's pack mates, who had been holding her by her arms. "I can't say that the feeling is mutual Vegas. The last time we met you threw me and my sister to your mutts and later killed my father," Ravyn sneered to the wolf in front of her. Vegas just smiled. "Ah, as fiery as ever young Alpha," he whispered, then straightened and waved his hand in front of him, signaling for Ravyn to follow him. "Please, follow me," he said, and Ravyn reluctantly nodded. The wolves who were at Ravyn's side went to grab her arms once more, but Ravyn growled at them. She glared at Vegas. "I don't think I need your mutts to escort me," she sneered again. Vegas stood there for a moment and then nodded. "You are right young alpha," he said again after a moment. He snapped his fingers and the two wolves at Ravyn's side suddenly stood at attention. Vegas smiled. "You may leave us, Lucas, Anthony," he said. The wolves bowed to him. "Yes sir," they said together and then headed for the door, closing it behind them. Ravyn turned back to Vegas, who waved his arm in front of him again. "Please," he said, before turning and heading down a long hallway, Ravyn following behind.

Once they reached an ornate looking walnut door, Vegas opened it and went inside, Ravyn stopping at the entrance and looking around for any sign of a threat. She found- smelled more like- that there were two wolves, hiding in the shadows, but they seemed to be posted there more for protection than being a true threat. Ravyn entered the room after a moment and sat down in the black leather chair that Vegas signaled for her to sit in. Vegas sat in the chair across from her and reached across to the small coffee table in front of them, opening a crystal bottle full of brandy. He poured it into the two tumbler glasses next to it and moved one to Ravyn's side of the table. "Please," he said again, but Ravyn shook her head. "I must unfortunately decline," she told him as she pushed the glass back. "I don't like brandy. And besides, I do not know if it is drugged." Vegas smiled but set the glass back next to the crystal bottle. "Very good young Alpha," he said as he took a sip of his own drink. Ravyn nodded at him. "So what do you want from me so bad that you had to kill my father-in-law and his fiancee as well as kidnap my sisters Vegas?" She asked, getting to the point. Vegas grinned once more.

"All I wish for you to do Ravyn," he said, saying her name as if it was a loving caress. Ravyn shivered in disgust. "Is to join the council and make sure they take the bounty off of me and my men." Ravyn raised a brow at him. "And how do you expect me to do that?" She asked. "I don't think they would ever agree to that. Even if I made a point to it. You have murdered quiet a few of them already, so I don't believe they will agree to it." Vegas grinned wider. "They will once I find out that I am now in possession of the Ring that they so diligently tried to hide from me," he replied. Ravyn's eyes widened. "You have Morgana's Ring?" She asked in shock. Vegas nodded. "Have for quiet some time now I'm afraid," he said, taking another sip of his drink. Ravyn shook with fear and trepidation. "And what do you plan to do with it, might I ask?"

"Simple, I plan to use it to turn every Supernatural in the world against one another and make Werewolves like myself, and you, the superior race."

Kitty bolted up right in bed as the vision she had just had ran through her mind. "Ravyn!" She yelled as she quickly got out of bed and went to her closet to pull out a pair of pants and pull them on. Ashley, who had been dead asleep next to her in his wolf form, lifted his head and looked at his mate. "What's wrong sweetheart?" He asked in her mind. Kitty looked over at Ashley as she quickly put her shoes on. "It's Ravyn. I think she's in trouble," she said quickly as she ran for the door. Ashley jumped off the bed and followed her out of the door, where she went straight to the door of Ravyn and Angel's room and banged on it. She looked at Ashley as the door opened, a sleepy Angel standing in front of her. "What's up Kit?" He asked, confused. "It's Ravyn. Where is she?" Kitty asked him. Angel looked back inside the room and shrugged. "Probably in the bathroom. The twins like to-"

"She's not in the bathroom Angel," she said, coming into the room. She turned to Ashley again. "Sound the alarm. Ravyn's missing," she told him. Ashley's eyes widened before he left the room. A long, sorrowful howl filled the night as Ashley sounded the warning. It didn't take long for everyone to come out of their rooms and run into Angel's. "What's happened?" Andy asked as he shifted from his own wolf form back into a human's. He watched as Kitty tore the room apart, looking for the pregnant female. She gasped as she opened the closet. "Oh my God..." she turned to her sister, who was holding their father's long barrel colt in her hand, Andy's in it's holster on her hip. "What?" Vixen asked, as she joined her sister. She gasped as she looked in the closet.

Her bow and arrows were missing.

"Where's Ravyn?" Jarreth asked, coming into the room with Sandra. Vixen turned to him. "She's gone, and she took my bow with her," Vixen answered him as she too, began to search the room. She stopped dead when she saw the note on the night stand. "Angel," she whispered as she picked up the note. Angel came over to her and opened the note, reading it quickly. "No..." He whispered, dropping the note. Jarreth picked it up as Angel sat on the bed, his hands threading through his shoulder length black hair. Jarreth read the note aloud to the others, his hands shaking.

"My dearest Angel," it read.

"I cannot put anyone else in danger for me. I could not live with myself if you, Dragon, FoeNyx and the others were killed because of me. So I am leaving to find Vegas on my own. Please don't follow after me. Instead, go after the ring. Find it before Vegas does. Keep it safe and kill anyone who tries to take it. It is too powerful an object for it to fall into the hands of evil. I promise I will return to you alive when I am finished killing Vegas. I promise the twins will be safe and all three of us will return to you healthy and alive. Please do what I have asked of you. I love you dearly, but this is a fight I have to complete on my own. I have to get my sisters back, I have to keep you safe. I am sorry for what I know I am putting you through as I leave to finish this task. But as I said, it is something I have to do on my own. If I do not end up returning to you, in the event that I am killed by Vegas. Please, do not wait for me. Live on with your life and find someone who will make you as happy as we once were. I am sorry I never got to be the chance to be the wife I always wanted to be for you. But I have to finish this. Always know that I love you, and will till my dying breath. Please find the ring and if you need to, destroy it before Vegas and his mutts get a hold of it. Please don't follow me. I love you very much and vow that I will try my hardest to return to you. I love you, Always.

- Ravyn Marie Kerr"

Everyone sat there in shock as they listened to Ravyn's letter. "So what do we do now?" CC asked as he held Taylor against him comfortingly, who had began crying next to him. Angel looked up at Vixen. Her blue eyes had hardened with Rage. "It's simple," She said, coming to stand next to Angel and Jarreth. "Half of us will go after the ring. The other half will follow Ravyn and save her and the others before Vegas can do anything to her or her sisters or the twins."

Everyone nodded in acceptance to Vixen's plan. "Then we split up now," Manson said, coming up to stand beside Vixen, Faith following him. The Hunter nodded. "We leave tonight. Split into teams now, for tonight we fight for our lives. Tonight, we end this, once and for all."

Notes

Author's Note:

Short chapter I know and I'm sorry for that but I had to get this out there. Before anyone asks, I don't know yet how the teams will go, but I do know that Angel, his friends, and Vixen, Andy and the rest of BVB will be the one's to fight. I don't know yet who else will be going along but I'll figure it out soon.

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