It was the most incidental of encounters between two young women, two women in polar positions; Bo, who is established, a renowned Fae, a succubus, with no allegiance to either side, Light or Dark; and Lauren who is a human, good and pure, but a slave to the Ash. Their meeting will be a strong and decisive influence on everyone around them. And it is their destiny to meet, for their paths to cross, as sure as day turns to night, their worlds will collide.
It has been another long day at the lab for Lauren, but it is something she is used to. She has no family and only a couple of friends she rarely sees. Her work takes up most of her time, but, as far as Lauren is concerned, her work is her life.
Lauren is lost in thought, fumbling with the keys to her apartment, when suddenly she is jerked out of her own mind by the feel of someone grabbing her. On reflex she turns, quickly striking her attacker in the chest with a fist. She hears her name being whispered. The voice is familiar. She turns just in time to catch the brunette as she stumbles forward. Lauren frantically fights to hold the woman up until she is finally able to open her front door. She recognizes the woman whose bloodied body goes limp in her arms. She thinks for a moment.
"B-Bo? Bo what happened? Who did this to you?" Bo is nearly unconscious and bleeding badly. It takes all of Lauren's strength but she is able to get her inside before anyone sees. Once inside she drags the woman to her couch. She looks but is unable to see where the bleeding is coming from. She stands, readjusting the brunette's position before she runs to wash her hands. In the minute it takes she tries to remember where she has met Bo before. She is back in a flash peeling Bo out of her blood soaked clothing, once done, she is better able to treat her new patient.
