Vishous: *Walking in the Penthouse waiting for the Angel to hold up his end of the deal. If he doesn’t show soon I’m going to wear a hole in this floor. He better show soon or I will send him to the fade with my gloved hand.* @FallenAngelLass

Lassiter: Tonight was the night that I had to bring V to Sloahne, I hadn't told her what was happening. One, since the conversation from the night before V wanted to get to her as soon as possible and two, I hadn't had the time to warn Sloahne what was happening. Even though I had my own problems … seeing V caged up like this was torture, mainly for me. If nothing went his way it was I who got the tongue lashing or a fist to my face. Materializing onto the balcony of V’s Penthouse I wrapped on the glass with my knuckles. @Vishous_SASBDB

Vishous: *Hearing a rap on my glass door sent me reeling I hadn’t noticed how much time had gone by, I was so wrapped into my thoughts of what I would do to this male that had placed hands on this female I didn’t know. And I still don’t understand the visions of her. I look over and I see the Angel has kept his word. I open the door and he walks in like he the place.* How’s It Angel? What do we need to do to get this show on the road. I need to see her and make sure she’s ok. @FallenAngelLass

Lassiter: Walking into the Penthouse seeing V’s toys. Fuck me, I hope he wasn't going to use these on Sloahne. She’d have my nuts as a new pair of earrings. I turn towards V. “I've dropped everything for you now, let's get this over with. When I dematerialize, I'll leave a light trail for you to follow. Don't think you want my blood in you.” Smirking at V like a Cheshire cat. Heading towards the balcony I dematerialize off into the night air, leaving the light trail I promised V all the way to the condo where Sloahne and I have been staying. @Vishous_SASBDB

Vishous: *Looking at the Angel as he steps out leaving a light trail for me she was a floor away all this time, I knew I felt her close. She better be ok or someone else is going to get hurt. I just hope I can control myself when I see her the first time. As I step out and dematerialize I follow his trail keeping myself in control. As I reform on the terrace and look in, I am so anxious to just to see her I walk in and look for the Angel. @FallenAngelLass

Lassiter: Walking into the apartment seeing V's face of surprise that Sloahne wasn't that far from him. “She had me swear I wouldn't tell anyone where she was, but with your threat, I had no choice but to bring you here. Wait here while I go get her, don't want to scare her with your face.” I felt V’s stare bore into the back of my head as I walk towards Sloahne’s room, knocking gently on the door before going in. “Hey, Sloahne. How's it going?” @Sloahne_BDB

Sloahne: <With my back towards the floor length mirror, I was checking on my bandages when I hear a knock on my door. Lassiter. I cover myself again with the sheet so he wouldn’t ask questions. He’s been oblivious the night before … though he did seem off since I’ve been back.

I wondered the last time if something had happened while I was gone. He didn’t seem nearly as easy going as before, he was more somber. But then again … perhaps I was mistaken. I had my own demons to deal with since resurfacing that maybe I was projecting my own feeling onto the Angel.>

Come in. What’s doing Lass? @FallenAngelLass

Lassiter: Entering Sloahne's room, she was covered with a sheet, I knew she was covering her wounds up so I wouldn't scorch that fucker’s ass but V can do that now he's here. “Sloahne don't get mad but someone is here to meet you. I’ll introduce you two then I’ll go. I have some things I need to take care of.” I didn't want to worry Sloahne that my wings have been taken, ripped … not like before, but that's another story. Looking back over my shoulder nodding for V to come into the room. “V this is Sloahne. Sloahne this is V. I’ll leave you both to it.” I left them both, dematerializing out of the apartment to go in search of that missing piece. @Vishous_SASBDB

Vishous: *Walking in I finally see her in full length and live not just my spotty visions.* Sloahne are you alright? *I stood back as not to frighten her.* I am Vishous from the Black Dagger Brotherhood I’ve seen you so many times. *Tapping my temple as if she would understand. Please don’t be frightened. *I see her recoil back away from me.* I’m not here to hurt you or to take you away like you ‘re in trouble. I want to take you to the medical wing to help you heal. I’ve been looking for you. @Sloahne_BDB

Sloahne: <I could just feel my jaw drop as Lassiter steps aside to reveal a Brother … a fucking Brother. That traitor. After all the meals I cooked, after how many damn movies I let him pick to watch … he backstabs me. Fucker.

I recoil back and accidentally hit the mirror which hits and rips at my back, I could feel the blood dripping. Rehv had fed me his blood, but as half vampire … I didn’t heal as quickly. I needed to get out of here. I took a deep breath and tried to dematerialize. Only to fail because I was too weak. I start to panic and tried to find another way out.> @Vishous_SASBDB

Vishous: *Watching her back up right into the mirror and hurt herself, I can see blood.* Sloahne!  Stop! *I see her jump as I call her name, I put my hands up and slowly walk to her showing her I’m not going to hurt her. I walk over and open my vein and offer her. With being a half a Deity I know she will heal quickly.* I’m not here to turn you in or hurt you. I’ve seen you in my visions. Please let me help you. @Sloahne_BDB

Sloahne: Forget it. <I said as he approached me.>

You feed me just so you can track me. I’m already dealing with someone who can track me as it is … I don’t need another. <Drake, fuck … he could track me here. I needed to get out of here. Out of Caldwell until I’m back to normal. I shake my head as I tried to get around him to my bathroom to get some clothes. I was standing there in only a sheet. My cuts where everywhere and Rehv hadn’t wanted to have my clothes pull at my semi-healing cuts.>

Leave me alone. I’m fine. Really. F-f-fine. J-j-just f-f-fine. <I started to stutter from the cold and agitation that began to rise. I can’t go from one cage to another. If this … V … discovers I’m a Chosen … if he hasn’t already … would be disastrous. FUBAR.> @Vishous_SASBDB

Vishous: *I need to figure out a way to make her know I’m not here to turn her in or hurt her. Fuck if I’m going to use my blood to track her who the fuck does she think is after her, I would never put her in a cage as her thoughts were broadcasting loud with fear.

This is killing me seeing her back away like I’m going to hurt her. I slow my words and speak softly but move out of the way so she doesn’t hurt herself even more.*

Sloahne, I’m not here to take you away or hurt you, Lass let me know you were her. I’ve seen you. *I point to my temple.* I knew you were hurt. He knows I can help you. Please take my vein so you can heal from what he did, my blood is pure and you will heal quickly.

*I slowly take a few steps lower my head and hold out my wrist.*

Rehv and Lassister wouldn’t have told me about you if they didn’t trust me. I can call and have Rev let you know you can trust me. *Pull my cell and call so he can reassure her.* @Sloahne_BDB

Sloahne: <I backed myself back to my bed as he made the call. I mean Lassiter introduced me before disappearing. Damn Angel. I mean that has to mean something. He looked upset on my behalf … for whatever reason. And Rehv told him? I was so confused.

The call only took a moment before he handed me the phone.>

Rehv, why did you do this to me? <I asked quietly.>

“You can trust the Brother Vishous. If anything happens to you, I’ll kill them all starting with V and Butch. I’ll fuck their prophecy in the ass.” <He sneered.> “You trust me don’t you?” <He asked more gently.>

Yea. <I replied hanging up the phone.> @Vishous_SASBDB

Vishous: *Looking at her face, while she’s on the phone talking and listening to him tell her I’m ok to be trusted. Her face so pale from the lack of blood I look at my wrist and it had already sealed so I slowly walk up and score my wrist and offer her my blood once again.* I would never harm or track you and with my pure blood you will heal much faster and feel better.

*Hoping she takes my blood her face may be pale, but oh scribe she is beautiful.* @Sloahne_BDB

Sloahne: <I hung up with Rehv and looked up at the Brother. The Brother Vishous. I’d seen him at the club several times, he choice of poison was Grey Goose. He always came in with another huge guy with a slightly crooked nose and Boston accent whose choice was Lagavulin.

I always kept far away from the Brothers when they came in. Every since that night a few months ago with the Z and uh … his favor … I had hoped I wouldn’t ever have to deal with them again. But here I am, in my own damn house with very little choice. I knew I needed blood, my wounds were not healing.

I closed my eyes and hoped I wouldn’t regret this decision and my fangs descended as I struck his vein and with the first pull of blood … the taste of thick wine coating my throat coating my insides … I could feel my skin start to knit together. His blood was very pure.> @Vishous_SASBDB

Vishous: *Looking at her fight with the decision to use me and take my blood. I’ve never shared my blood with anyone. I never felt the need to share my blood and soul with anyone else. Only Sloahne, she is the only female I can see. Scribe, she’s beautiful I cannot take my eyes off her.

Watching her fangs descend and going into my vein was the most erotic thing I have ever seen and the first pull made me rock hard.* That’s good, take all you need I am here to help you heal. *As her hair fell over and covered her face, I could not fight the urge to move it aside so I could see her face. As I used my gloves hand, I gathered her hair and put it back over her shoulder. My arm brushed her shoulder and there was such electricity a shock that I felt between us. I was sure she felt it too.* @Sloahne_BDB

Sloahne: <I felt shivers run through me as his leather hand touched me but I was fully engrossed in my first real feeding to take much notice. The blood was so rich, I was almost getting drunk and I could feel his blood in my veins making me stronger.

I opened my eyes, and they were clear and focused and not blurred with exhaustion. My limbs felt stronger as the weariness subsided I looked down at my own hands gripping his arm and could see my coloring returning. But as all my faculties were returning to normal strength, a small beating within my core made itself known. Drake.

He had come for me.>  @Vishous_SASBDB

Vishous: *I sensed her getting stronger, feeling her hands getting tighter on my arm. I could smell her scent now ... it’s more potent than when I first got here. She’s swaying like she’s getting a high from my blood.* I can feel your strength coming back. You’ve taken almost enough to fully heal sweetheart. *Still holding her hair that way I can see the features of her face change from content to drunk, then I see a shocked look of fear come over her face. Then I smell the scent of another male.

I stop her from feeding seal my wrist and put her behind me. A male dematerialize through the open balcony doors. The look of hatred on his face and the scent he's putting off … was like he’d bonded with Sloahne and that had me seeing red.*

She’s not yours and if you don’t fuck off right now. It’ll be the worst decision you ever made. *I stepped up before he could respond and all it took was one blow to his head and he’s out for the count. I knew I couldn’t put him out of his misery … this one belongs to Rehv. I turn and look and she was shaking like a leaf, I place my hands on her shoulders and calmed her.*

You don’t have to be afraid anymore I will protect you with everything I am. I am going to take you to the safest place you’ll ever be. *I placed her in my arms and carry her out down to the E and placed her in the passenger seat and as I buckled her seatbelt my skin brushes across her and the electricity between our skin is so noticeable. Having her in my arms, felt so right and fit perfectly against me. I get myself settled in the driver seat with her next to me where I know she belongs and I head straight to the compound.* Get ready your going to the safest place Leelan. @Sloahne_BDB

Sloahne: <Fucking hell … all hell has broken loose and Drake found me. I could never go back to my condo now. He followed the echo of my blood just how all vampires can track whom they allow to feed. The echo would diminish over time … time I didn’t have. I needed to get out here.

Vishous had no idea who I was and I wanted to keep it that way. As part of the Brotherhood, he would have no choice but to inform the King and the Primale. And then I would be shipped off to the legendary Sanctuary. I took slow breaths to calm my nerves from seeing Drake and concentrated. I needed to dematerialize out of this vehicle.

I focused on the dashboard in front of me … barely hearing his deep resonating voice that was calming me and I pictured Rehv’s office and finally gained enough strength from Vishous’s blood and escaped from the SUV into the night towards #ZeroSum.>  @Vishous_SASBDB

Vishous: *As we make our way through the darkness on the old highway, I look over as I watch her dematerialize out the E. I slowed and pulled over to the side of the highway and dropped my head. I couldn’t stop her and I couldn’t follow her ... I promised I wouldn’t. I pull out my cell and texted the Cop, I need a drink … hell I needed several. [Meet me at the table. I need to blow off some steam and crack a few balls around.]
