Tossing every few seconds had render and robbed Kenzi of her sleep. Shifting ever so slightly in bed she peered at the angry numbers that shone through the darkness of the room.
'2:14 A.M Ah man.'
She groaned softly as she threw the covers aside maneuvering her body effortlessly off her bed. She made her way to the bathroom quickly turning the cold water on in the sink and splashing it a few times in her face.
'You need to get a grip.'
She sighs as she peers at her reflection her once pale orbs shifted to a harsher bloodier hue. Instead of freaking out she blinked inhaling as much air as possible before closing her eyes to release the air within her lungs. Slowly she opened her eyes back up and smiled. Her eyes sparkled in their usual pale icy. Satisfied she smiles and decided to wander to the kitchen for a late night drink.
The crack shack was just as dark as Kenzi's room, but luckily she knew where everything was so she made it to the kitchen with ease. Rummaging through the cabinet she pulled out a bottle of Vodka. A silence filled the room for that matter the whole crack shack since Bo's disappearance. Feeling a slight ping in her chest she unscrewed the cap and proceeded to drink the entire bottle in one hearty gulp.
'I really should get a grip she left me.'
Kenzi shook her head as she went for another bottle knowing she had lost the ability to sleep.
Ten hours later Kenzi was showered and dressed in her usual Gothic appeal for the day. Humming a tone she once heard when she was a child she made her way to the Dal in hopes to drink and bury her feelings. Being alive for as long as she had drinking was her only comfort when brought into emotional messes. She chuckled to herself as the cold air circled her skin she has found it quite odd.
'I've been alive for nearly four thousand years and alcholalism has never been my problem.'
What a surprise to Kenzi when Bo's Houdini act awaked old memories in Kenzi that at first surprised her. When she first met Bo Kenzi had thought that she herself was human. For the remainder of their friendship that was all that Kenzi was – a weak fragile human. Kenzi shook her head – she was never one to pity or think less of humans, and never was angry about being human. Though she wasn't born a human so it did bug her slightly that no one took into count about what she looked like or what she was.
In essence Kenzi is an immortal with a Phoenix mother – half Phoenix to be exact though her mother's powers were a force to be recon with when she was angry. The immortal part of Kenzi had two souls indicating that she could have two soul mates more over that she needed two soul mates to balance out her powers.
Long ago she had just that. Two women she was more in love with each day she spent with them. Of course it took getting use to for the both of them but neither wanted Kenzi's powers to get out of hand thus accepting that they would have to share her.
Kenzi blinked a few times refocusing on where she was – when she was for that matter and remembered she was heading for the Dal. She smiled at her musing as she made it to the entrance and step through the threshold.
The Dal wasn't particularly busy at this time of day and that was how Kenzi preferred it as she made her way to the bar. Trick had been washing a few glasses as he looked up and spotted Kenzi a small smile formed on his lips.
"Hey Kenzi I was starting to think you ran off too."
Catching his words his face paled quickly to open his mouth to apologize, but Kenzi waved him off.
"Yeah well the liquor here is always good and mama was needing her fix."
The normal chirp in her voice was off, but Trick chalked it off as to her still getting over his granddaughter's disappearance. He sighed but smiled nonetheless as he pulled out a clean cup for her.
"Well the usual then?"
Silence.
"Kenzi?"
More silence.
"Kenzi."
Trick snapped his fingers thus bringing the brunette out of her thoughts.
"Ah yeah but no glass I would like the whole bottle if you please?"
His eyes softened with a curt nod as he brought her a bottle of vodka. Though was quite surprised when she made a slight face.
"Is there something wrong with the one I've chosen Kenzi?"
She nods once and then locks eyes with Trick – the color shifted causing him to take a step back. Kenzi sighed softly.
"How about we talk about this in the back and then I drink a bottle from the top shelf?"
He nods not knowing what to say but motions him to follow as the step out of view without realizing a certain Valkyrie had watch the entire transaction – apart from when Kenzi's eyes shifting color – and was quite intrigued with what was going on.
Back in the back Trick was pacing back and forth. The information Kenzi had relayed to him had got him in a stir.
"Four thousand years?
"Yes."
Her voice was its usual tone minus the false chirp she used when she was human. She was sitting formally in a chair watching Trick pace with amusement.
"You seem very surprised Blood King."
He snaps his head to face her. His brows furrow knitting together to form his confusion. So many questions coursed through his brain as he tried to rack them together.
"If what all you've been saying is true that makes you.."
Trick trailed off leaving the sentence to die down in his throat as Kenzi held up her palm causally making fire dance around it.
"That would make me a Queen of sorts."
Trick noted the amusement in Kenzi's voice as she made the fire disappear. She stood up stretching the kicks in her body before sighing again.
"Trickster no one should know I'm alive what I told you stays between us," she pauses slightly before locking eyes with him, "All of it."
"That won't be easy since you need two soul mates to balance your very dangerous powers."
Kenzi merely hummed ignoring the harshness of his tone – of course she knew that, but she also knew how to control herself until both were there to balance her.
"Well I had one of them, but she left."
Trick sat down upon hearing her words – yes he knew her soul mates were female every fae who knew Kenzi's history know she would fall for two powerful women who kept the balance of light and dark inside her. But he had not guessed that in a million years the one of his blood.
"You mean Bo?"
She sighed again looking at him with a small smile.
"Yes but she didn't know."
Kenzi threw her arms in the air feelings the awkwardness of the whole situations.
"Hell I didn't know for quite some time," she turned to look at Trick," I thought I was human – something must have happened to me but I can't remember."
She paced then much like Trick had done earlier. Fire wrapping around her palms.
"Kenzi," Trick began , "Kenzi!"
Upon raising his voice he snapped her out of her trance. Her fire disappeared once more as she looked at him teary eyed.
"Oh Trick I just can't remember what happened I mean I remember up until my birth the rise and fall of a few hundred empires," she chuckles darkly, "falling in love with the two meant to be with me being happy having them and then remembering them taken from me," she catches her breathe shakily, "I remember traveling around a lot sleeping around and then nothing."
Her chest panged again as her hand clutched her shirts Trick hopped up and touched her arm reluctantly.
"Shh it's alright your majesty I'm just surprised that my granddaughter is one of the two," he smiled warily as he peered at her, "Though it is quite fitting seeming as one of your old mates was a Succubus."
She nods slightly then and smiles besides herself.
"A succubus yes but nothing like Bobo."
Feeling as though the conversation had met a stalemate Trick patted her arm.
"I'm sure there is more to discuss and I promise to keep your true identity a secret as best as I can, but just know I'm glad you are alive and well and," he chuckles softly, "I owe you a drink from the top shelf nothing but the best I promise."
Kenzi nodded wiping her eyes and fixed her appearance. As the two made in back into the other room the both noticed that the place had more people all thirsty and waiting for their orders.
Instead of leaving Trick to suffer Kenzi helped him knocking out each order will skilled ease. After everything was settled Kenzi walked around the bar and took refuge on a stool. Trick noticed this and with some difficulty managed to grab the desired bottle for Kenzi and placed it in front of her only to gain a quick snide remark from a certain blonde dark fae.
"You think that's wise Trick she is only human of course."
Tamsin was leaning on the counter next to Kenzi a smug smirk plastered on her face as she peered at the bartender. Clearing her throat promptly Kenzi smiled widely.
'Oh this will be good.' Trick thought as he along with Tamsin looked at Kenzi.
"I think I can handle it just find Detective Snarkypants."
Tamsin growled slightly at the nickname the human called her but said nothing of it as she lidded her eyes as she stared at Kenzi. The human did not even flinch. Feeling somewhat perplex Tamsin kept her gaze as she leaned into Kenzi's personal space.
"You sure about that half pint?"
Kenzi merely batted her eyelashes as she grinned cheekily at the Valkyrie.
"I'm more than sure Slamsin."
Trick had set glasses in front of the two woman knowing both of them could drink and not be affected in the slightest from the alcohol so he smiled taking his leave to tend to other customers.
Pouring the first round Tamsin slid the cup in front of Kenzi.
"Well let's get our drink on than human."
Kenzi's jaw clenched as she took the glass and brought it to her mouth swiftly taking a gulp and slamming the glass down hard enough to get the message across to the woman next to her.
"Bring it then Valkubitch."
Fifteen shots later both woman were laughing like old friends leaning into each other for support as they snickered away at the other fae in the Dal. Trick smiled besides himself as he watched them surprised that the hostile feelings disappeared around the two. Though what he gave Kenzi was strong stuff that was meant for both woman to drink – any other fae or human for that matter would have serious alcohol poisoning.
After the laughter had died down Kenzi pushed herself from the stool and caught Tamsin before she fell.
"Woah there Detective you're falling all over yourself."
Kenzi chuckled slightly as Tamsin looked puzzled and for once saw the vulnerability in the blond woman's fierce green orbs.
"But-but –" Tamsin was at a loss for words for once in her life. Kenzi pulled Tamsin into the standing position helping the blond steady herself to her proper height which towered slightly over Kenzi who had to lift her head up slightly to meet Tamsin's questioning gaze.
Once icy blue clashed with vibrate green Kenzi smiled her face slightly flushed from still holding Tamsin who chalked up that Kenzi was drink – even though Kenzi wasn't. Stepping out of Kenzi's hold Tamsin shakes her head schooling her features.
"Thanks," she remarked cockily, "You aren't so bad for a human."
Kenzi's jaw clenched again but before Tamsin could notice Kenzi too school her features. Smiling brightly Kenzi leaned forward slightly brushing her lips to the Detectives cheek. Pulling back quickly she had side steps Tamsin who turned following Kenzi movement as she looked at her with that smiled still in place.
"You weren't so bad yourself T-sin," Kenzi cooed slightly without causing any of the customers to hear her, "Maybe we should do this again sometime."
Though to anyone else that would have been just a question from Kenzi's lips though it was a mere statement – they would indeed be drinking like that again.
Tamsin shifted her weight as if she hadn't caught on to the meaning behind Kenzi's words though she nodded slightly stepping closer to Kenzi with a smug smirk upon her face. Crossing her arms slightly Tamsin tilted her head.
"How about I drive you home?"
Kenzi blinked slightly knowing that Tamsin was never one to just offer rides to fae who she wouldn't be sleeping with or anyone for that matter, but smiled besides herself as she decided to step the bait.
"Oh Detective are you trying to proposition me?"
The mock old English accent caught Tamsin by surprise as heat rushed to her cheeks – cursing herself slightly blaming the alcohol Trick had given them.
"Oh please as if I would want to proposition myself to a human."
Kenzi turned her head quickly hiding the red tint in her eyes – she reminded herself she was dealing with a dark fae who reminded her so much of her dead Succubus lover. Sighing yet again for that uptenth time that day she looked back at the Valkyrie with another fake smile.
"Geez TamTam I was only kidding around you don't have to hit below the belt."
Tamsin noted the chirpiness in Kenzi voice had wavered slightly and that the smile did not meet her eyes. Tamsin shrugged slightly not wanting to acknowledge that she hurt the human's feelings but she did feel bad at the same time.
"Look you're a human who is without her Succubus friend's protection," Tamsin drew a breath," I'm sure Wolf man and the Siren Ashole wouldn't let anything happen to you, but that doesn't mean any of the fae won't try to harm you."
Kenzi laughed causing those around her to look at her as she shakes her head. Without answering Kenzi turns on her heel and walks out. Tamsin pinches the bridge of her nose and follows suit glaring heavily at anyone who dare say anything as she went after the human.
A good distance outside the Dal Tamsin had caught Kenzi by the arm.
"Hey what the hell was that?"
Kenzi merely shrugs as she looks anywhere else but Tamsin.
"Hey I'm talking to you!" Tamsin quipped as she glares at Kenzi applying pressure to the human's arm for good measure.
Kenzi snapped her gaze to Tamsin startling the blond with her dagger like gaze.
"Remove your hand Tamsin and I'll talk to you."
Tamsin clenched her jaw slightly as she removed her hold of the smaller woman.
"Alright so what the hell was that?"
SMACK.
Tamsin hand flew to her cheek as Kenzi glared at her.
"Quit pretending that you give a shit Tamsin," the hint of anger in Kenzi's voice was apparent, "You didn't give two fucks about me when she left," Kenzi's eyes had started to slightly shift by then as the fire inside her started to build up, "It's been almost three months okay?" Tears started to well up as she looked away from Tamsin hiding her eyes and pushing the flames down, "Three fucking months and no one has checked on me – not Dyson," she laughed, "Not Hale because he's been busy much like Trick," she drew in a breath as tears poured down her cheeks, "Hell Lauran hasn't even come around to see if I'm alive."
Kenzi began to laugh then startling Tamsin as she looked at the human before her. Kenzi shook her head again as she with puffy eyes looked at Tamsin knowing her eyes wouldn't betray her.
"I have no one to protect me and that's fine, but I would appreciate it if you did drive me home."
Tamsin merely nodded leading Kenzi to her truck. No words were exchanged as they drove in a calm peaceful silence. Tamsin's cheek still stung, but she was not about to bring it up to the human next to her. Outside of her peripheral vision she watched as Kenzi leaned her head against the window staring out of it – she looked lost in thought. Something inside Tamsin wanted to pull Kenzi into a strong embrace and just hold her. Shaking her head at that thought Tamsin pulled over indicating that they had arrived at the Crack Shack.
They both got out of the truck then as Tamsin walked Kenzi to the door. Kenzi was the first to break the silence.
"Thank you Tamsin," Kenzi said as she peered at the taller woman beside her with a small smile that reached her eyes," for drinking with me, letting me smack you, then rant to you oh and driving me home."
Tamsin chuckles as she waves her hand dismissively.
"Anytime short stack, but let's not make a habit out of hitting me I could kill you."
Kenzi laughs heartily at Tamsin's statement leaning forward to kiss the Valkyrie on her cheek a bit longer than last time. Pulling away slightly Kenzi meets Tamsin's gaze with a smirk.
"Well I wouldn't expect less than that from you Officer."
Tamsin rolls her eyes as her heart skips a beat. Sensing that as a bad sign she steps back though frowns as Kenzi opens her door.
"Really?" Tamsin looked slightly worried," You just leave the door unlocked?"
Kenzi looks over her shoulder and shrugs.
"I have for the past three months hoping she would come back I won't start locking the door now."
Tamsin frowns heavily shaking her head as she pushes Kenzi aside. Stepping into the Crack Shack with a look of determination on her face.
"Tamsin what are you doing?"
Ignoring the brunette behind her Tamsin does a clean sweep of the place followed by Kenzi walking behind her watching the whole thing. With a sigh of relief Tamsin looks at Kenzi.
"Looks like nobody has been here so you'll be alright and lock the door when I leave?"
Kenzi rolls her eyes and salutes the Valkyrie.
"Yes mom."
Tamsin was about to make a remark when the front door opened revealing a sad looking Lauren.
Authors Notes: Well that was fun to type. This is my very new fanfiction I've decided to make and stick with. I decided to try my hand at Lost Girl because Kenzi is my spirit animal and I love her.
This story is a Kenzi/Tamsin and Kenzi/Bo, as in Kenzi will be with both woman. I'm sorry if you won't like that, but this is my fanfiction and I'll type what I like. Furthermore there will be some Doccubus, but Lauren will be with my OC Succubus that should be coming around and making her appearance in later chapters. Other ships will be made as well in a later date. I hope you like this and will continue to read it as I make Kenzi's journey further into the Fae world. Bo will come back not sure when so for now it is a Tamsin/Kenzi centric.
Oh and I do not own Lost Girl if I did well lord help us all.
Love Lynn.
P.s Also the mistakes are all my own. :D
