Lover United - Black Dagger Brotherhood FanFic

The Letter

Kade took a deep breath as Rhay disappeared from the room and returned his attention to loading his weapons from his weapon trunk that was stashed at the foot of the bed.  He paused for a moment at the sight of the tangled sheets that lay twisted there.  Only a couple of hours ago they had pushed this shit from their minds and enjoyed one another. He wished he could bring that moment back and pause it forever.  Pushing the thought away, he strapped two guns to his hips, along with his standard issue Black Dagger sword and began loading up his automatic rifle and strapping additional firepower to his chest.  If any of Suzerhain's goons thought they were going to lay a finger on his mate they had another thing coming to them. 

A pounding came to his door and he instinctively raised the rifle to it, only to have Saxon open it and raise his hands at the sight.  "It's just me."  Kade lowered his gun.  "Rhage just called, he and BJ have Murhder and they are bringing him in.  Suzerhain is still unaccounted for.  They should be back in a few minutes and we can question him about his involvement with the lessers and Lash.  I've called your father and additional support are on their way.  Blaylock, Quinn, Tohrment, and Zsadist are working on dematerializing here now while a small group of soldiers are loading up a convoy to bring Murhder back to Caldwell.  I figured you would want to be there for the questioning."  Kade looked to the spot that Rhay had disappear from and shook his head. 
"When my female gets back, I want to be waiting.  Go ahead with out me and fill me in later.  The rest of the brothers should be here within half and hour I would imagine.  Hold him until then." 
"As you wish," Saxon said and left, closing the door behind him.  Kade paced the room anxiously, wondering what Rhay was seeing, and in what condition she would return in.

Rhay felt her gut drop and heart soar as she saw Vishous before her.  His had was gone but his deadly air still hovered around him.  She raced to him and reached out, to have her hand pass through him.  V looked down at her, and shook his head.  "I'm not alive Rhay, you can't touch me."  The sinking feeling returned as if she found him dead all over again. 
"But then how-"
"He is my son," the Scribe Virgin said.  "I brought him here to offer to heal his body but he has refused me."
"I've lived for centuries in this body I have and I'm not going to stop just because I died in it," V spit back.  "Rhay listen there isn't much time.  I haven't regained enough strength yet to pass through to your world yet, but I will.  I just need more time.  But they can't go through with the Fade ceremony.  If they do, my soul will pass along and I wont be able to travel between worlds.  You have to call Butch and tell them to stop.  Do you understand?"  Rhay nodded and said,
"I'm so sorry Lash and Malina did this to you."  V's eyes darken and he said. 
"You've got it right about Lash, but Malina wasn't the one helping him, nor was Murhder.  We've had it all wrong from the start." 

"You don't have much time child," the Scribe Virgin said.  Reaching into her sleeve she grabbed a scroll, a wax seal with her symbol sealing it.  "Take this and give it to Saxon. It is a proclamation of your innocence, along with the explanation of who was responsible for the murders.  It will free your name and prove your innocence, explaining all you have seen here."  Rhay took the scroll but never took her eyes off V.
"Tell me who did this to you.  Who's working with Lash?"  V leaned down and muttered the name in her ear, sending her head spiraling out of control.

"You're all idiots," Murhder shouted from the chair he was bound to.  "All of you.  I have nothing to do with any of this!"  BJ, Rhage, and Saxon where all standing around him, guns drawn. 
"We will figure it all out Murhder.  Just stay comfy huh?"  Rhage said.  BJ's phone started ringing for the fourth time and Rhage finally rolled his eyes.  "Will you just check it already?  I've got my scope on him, he moves I will pop him."  BJ lowered the gun reluctantly and pulled the device from his pocket.  Three missed called from Soreen and one incoming from her now.  He answered it and her voice was hysterical on the other end.
"BJ where are you? The Charleston police just started assembling, talking about taking everyone in for treason.  BJ, they said they are going to arrest me for affiliating with you and the others.  What is going on?" 
"There's been a misunderstanding, it's going to be alright."
"They took my sister BJ," she cried.  "They said if I don't come in right now they will arrest her too.  BJ please, what is going on, you have to tell me.  Please I don't want them to hurt her."
"Where are you, I will come to get you as soon as I can."
"I'm hiding in the old sugar mill on the west end of the town.  Please BJ, I'm so scared. I don't want any one else to get hurt."
