Tamsin:

I don't know what it is going through my head. My thoughts are scattered, my mind trying to find an ounce of peace. I just can't focus.

She is laying there. RIGHT THERE. Within an arm length. And I can't touch her. I am too afraid. Every time we got close, I would pull further and further away. It breaks my heart, and I didn't know why. It's not like I'm in love with her, right?

Maybe I am. In love with her that is. Maybe that's why every time we get close warning bells go off in my head, forcing me to step back. I can't let it happen again. I can't fall in love again. I've spent the past 300 years mourning the death of my former. Trying, with every bit of my being, to shut off my emotions. Emotions made you weak. I don't want to be weak, I need to be strong. Strong for her.

She has no idea that is coming for her. What danger she is in around me. It's my duty as a Valkyrie to bring her in. He wants her, and it's clear as to why. She is strong. Stronger than anyone I've ever met in any of my many lifetimes. And by the Gods, if she isn't perfect, I don't know what is.

Just being this close to her now is killing me. I want her so bad, but I can't risk it. I don't want to be a bitch, but she HAS to hate me.

If she hated me, she wouldn't have asked me to stay tonight…

If I wasn't so weak I would have told her no and walked away…

If, if, if. Loads of "ifs". One simple answer.

I was in love with her. Damn her succubus charm.

"Tamsin?" she mumbled my name, my head snaps towards her lips. Those lips. I'm not going to reply, besides I can't seem to find my voice. I can feel her sliding closer to me.

"Don't touch me. Don't touch me. Don't touch me." I'm silently begging her to leave room. I would melt in an instant the moment her skin touches mine. Why am I even here?

8 hours earlier

"Bo!" I screamed frantically, running towards her. "Bo run!" I knew she wouldn't run, she was too brave for that, stupid, but brave.

She had 4 guys on her. Red Caps at that, and once they have a target they don't stop till their caps are soaked in their victim's blood.

She was fighting valiantly, and I was still too far away to offer any assistance. As I approached the quarrel two Red Caps suddenly dropped to the ground. "Damn babe." I muttered jumping into the brawl. 2 on 2. It seems fair now. Bo's back pressed against mine and I was suddenly aware of how close we were. My breath caught in my throat. My heart started to pound, all I could think about was our close contact. I almost forgot we were under attack until a fist loomed towards my head.

I ducked just before Bo's fist came swinging over colliding with the dudes jaw. "Nice hit." I

Exhaled as I turned to face the last Red Cap standing. He looked terrified and I noticed him stealing glances at his fallen comrades, never fully taking his eyes away from Bo and I. Just as Bo took a step towards him he turned and hi-tailed it out of there, off to find back up I assumed.

"Bo." Worried I turned towards her. She had a bloody gash on her forehead and a split lip. Gently I wiped the dirt from her cheek with my thumb, too afraid to touch around her "Bo-Bo's"

"Babe, you need to feed."

"I'm fine Tamsin." She gave me that "Don't fuck with me" signature Bo look and took a step backwards stumbling.

Unaware of my body movements, I stepped with her and pulled her against me tightly. She sank heavily in my arms which worried me.

"Come on babe, we need to get you back." I threw her arm around my shoulder before she could say anything about the hug and helped her hobble a ways to my truck. I opened the door and slid her inside.

"Tamsin you don't have to take me home, I can get there myself." She chided as soon as I closed my door and started the engine.

"Yeah right." I scoffed throwing the gear in drive and speeding off towards her run down shack she calls home.

"Listen, I'll get you inside, but after that call Lauren or Dyson in. You really need to feed." I wanted to be the one she called. I wanted to stay and help her, get her cleaned up. But being this close was already too much for me to handle. I needed to get away, drown my uprising emotions in a good old glass of Vodka.

"Tamsin…"she whispered my name. I couldn't help myself, I stole a glance her way.

"Tamsin, please stay with me tonight." Fuck. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck. How could I say non to that? She looked pitiful and she was asking ME to stay.

"Sorry babe," I heard myself replying. "I've got a hot date with a bottle of Vodka back at mine." Thank All-father I didn't need to think to say those words. If I had, had it my way, I wouldn't have been able to resist.

"Please Tamsin, I won't feed off of you, I just… Kenzi is away and I don't feel safe being home alone after what just happened." I could hear tears in her voice, shit must be serious because Bo never cries.

I sigh defeated. "Fine. Tonight only, but first thing in the morning call someone. You need to heal."

I pulled up in front of her house and cut the engine. I sat there staring ahead for a few moments before getting out and striding over to her door. I pulled her out and balanced her against me gently before practically dragging her into the shack.

I sat her down on the couch and ran ahead to her bathroom to draw her a hot bath.

"I must be getting soft in my old age." I muttered after realizing what I was doing. I added the bubbles and turned off the water and made my way back downstairs to Bo. "Come on Succulet, let's get you all cleaned up."

I sat on the toilet as she laid in the tub. She didn't have the energy to really wash herself, she was fighting to stay awake. I crawled over to the tub and grabbed a rag and began to wash her face, as carefully as I could.

"Come on let's get you to bed." I heaved her up, it felt like I was picking up a dead body, even though she was white, and I wrapped a towel around her leading her into the bedroom. I remember her saying she didn't wear underwear so I didn't bother checking for some as I picked up some jammie looking clothes off the floor and dressed her. She crawled into bed and I wrapped the covers around her and made my way to the bedroom door.

"Tamsin…" she said my name again. Silently I cursed myself as I turned to look at her.

"What?" a shrugged. "I'm not leaving, I said I would stay, so I'll be on the touch." I turned and grabbed the doorknob.

"Please stay here, in here, with me." She mumbled, mustering up the strength to sit up and draw back the covers.

I groaned inwardly and sulked over to the bed, I knew it was a bad idea, but the way she looked, all vulnerable, I didn't have the heart to say no.

She didn't try anything once I laid down, she kept to one side of the bed, and I to the other. I liked it that way, I could keep my distance for a night. But at first light I was booking it.

I'm trying my hand at writing a Lost Girl story. I've really only done PJO, and even then it was very good. I think I'm going to end this chapter now, I know where I want to take it, it's just a matter of, should I continue? Let me know what you guys think! Review, PM me, give me ideas, ask me questions, criticize me, whatever. Don't be strangers! Thanks for reading this chapter!
