What's lurking down in the Basement P1

AU—Characters are not mines…this is my first attempt so be nice.

Bo and Lauren all the way

Rated M for language and sexual content, if you don't like reading about genitals swap then this is not a fanfic for you. Be warned Lauren will be different in this fic.

Enjoy

"Stop pushing me!" Bo yells in a whisper trying to get Kenzi off her back.

"Well walk a little faster than" Kenzi says grabbing the back of Bo's red kimono as they descended down the steps of their basement. Tightening the hold on her knife; Bo rolls her eyes at her scared best friend.

So much for kickass Kenzi

It was around two thirty in the morning when Kenzi came bursting into her room waking her up screaming about a monster in the basement. So here she was holding her knife in the air trying to figure out what the hell was in her basement.

"I swear Kenzi if you don't let me go, I will feed you to whatever the hell it is down here" Bo threatened as Kenzi quickly let go of the red silk robe. Once they hit the bottom of the stairs, Bo went to search for the switch to turn the lights on as Kenzi held the little flashlight in her hands shakily.

"What if it's that freaky ass spider thing again?"

"No I don't think so, what did you hear?" Kenzi rubbed her forehead in a dramatic way.

"I was in the kitchen getting something to drink, when I heard a loud crash in the basement. I thought about going down there to see what it was but thought hell no! Succubitch is here she can kill the fucker who was trying to break in. So I came and got you"

"Thanks" Bo says flicking the switch as the dim light lit up the dark gloomy basement, just as the light came on; a black ball of fur stumbled into the boxes by the corner scrambling to hide behind the boxes. Kenzi screamed bloody murder dropping the flashlight and flying up the stairs—leaving Bo to fend for herself.

"Great…" Bo mumbled trying to calm her heart down, looking over at the boxes and trying to find where the thing went, all she knew…it could have been a damn possum or raccoon. She will never let Kenzi live this down ever.

"Whatever you are, you picked the wrong house to crash in" She spoke kicking the boxes and moving them to try to get a glimpse of the thing. She could feel cool air coming from somewhere, walking over to the boxes she could easily see a small hole in her wall leading to outside.

"Shit…that's going to cost" searching for a towel or sheet to stuff the hole, pulling at the dirty dusty sheet on the floor by her feet, she suddenly was hit in the chest making her fall on her ass. She screamed as the ball of fur jumped right into her arms, she heard Kenzi yell her name in worry but she didn't hear footsteps coming to her rescue.

"BO!" Kenzi yells frantically but her scary ass stayed up stairs, Bo was too busy looking into bright green eyes of a small baby panther pup.

"Are you the reason for all this ruckus?" She asked the small fragile looking thing, the little pup licked at her nose blinking his big eyes at her. "You really had us going there, thinking you were a monster down here" She says holding the scrawny little pup to her chest. Even though he was dirty and scrawny she could see how beautiful the pup actually was.

"Why don't we go upstairs and find something for you to eat?" He gave her another lick to the nose as a response; Bo never had pets growing up so having this little pup in her arms was nice. When she finally made her way back upstairs, she was met with a wide eyed Kenzi with a bat in her hand.

"Bo so glad you're okay, I heard you scream I was looking for a weapon to save you" Kenzi said dropping the bat and sitting down on one of the stool in the kitchen.

"I screamed a whole three minutes ago"

"Yeah…well I was looking for the bat" Kenzi threw back suddenly seeing the black ball in her best friend's arm.

"What. The. Hell. Is. That's?" Kenzi asked

"A baby Panther I think. Isn't it so adorable?" Bo gushed pulling the baby panther closer to her chest…which earn her a purr.

"Yeah a little bit. I don't appreciate the little fur ball making me shit my pants thinking someone was trying to break in" Kenzi says flopping on the couch. Bo walked over to the refrigerator to find some type of meat to feed the little pup.

"Do we have any lunchmeat Kenzi?"

"Check the bottom draw had to hide it from wolf boy last week. If he is going to be sleeping over so much tell him he could at least buy some food in this joint"

"I'll make sure to tell him Kenzi" Bo says laughing pulling a meat package from the draw, walking over to the couch she pulls the wrapper open and the little panther didn't waste no time digging into the mouth watering ham lunchmeat.

"Wow you were hungry" Bo whispers rubbing the ear of the eating panther, she was wondering if this pup was fae or not. If he was, then somebody was looking for him for sure. A defenseless child was roaming the streets without his mother was dangerous—even for fae.

"Do you think it's fae?"

"I do, Panther really don't live around these neck of woods. Might be a shape shifter like Dyson, think we should call him over?" Kenzi says looking at the now pass out panther in her friend's arms. She could see him shaking so she grabs the throw cover from behind the couch and wrapped it around the shivering pup.

"No…I don't want him getting out of bed to come all the way over here in the middle of the night" Bo stated as Kenzi snorted loudly

"But you would if it was a booty call though?"

"That's different" Bo laughs standing up and walking over to the stairs

"Go back to sleep Kenzi we'll figure something out in the morning" Bo told her as Kenzi nods and disappeared into her room. Closing her own door, she laid the little fur ball down on the floor by her bed wrapped tightly in the throw cover.

"Sleep well…I'll be right here when you get up, tomorrow we can search for your Mother, I know she is going crazy looking for you" Bo softly says rubbing behind the little pup's ear, stripping her robe off, she fell back into her bed and back into a deep sleep.

"WHERE THE FUCK IS HE!" Lauren yells as her chest rumbles with rage, blood dripping from her mouth trying to fight off her change and willing her tears not to fall. Lauren Lewis was heartbroken, she felt like her lungs were closing in on her and she couldn't breathe.

Her son was missing

Someone took her son right from under her pack's nose. Something in the back of her mind told her to not leave him, her spider sense were crawling up her spin hours before she left him. Now he was gone! His scent disappearing into the river a couple miles away. She didn't want to think of the possibilities of him drowning…no she couldn't think that. He was alive, that she knew. She could feel there bond was still intact. Glaring down at the dead Panther at her feet.

Her sister

She killed her sister in her fit of rage, she couldn't feel any remorse because, she was his protector when she was not present. She was his second mother when she was not present but yet she let him get taken…she let their prince get taken all because she was too busy sniffing the ass of Robert—a jaguar shape shifter.

"FIND HIM! FIND HIM NOW!" Her Alpha voice rang loudly through the air bringing them all to their knees as the weight of her command slams them to the earth, scrambling to their paws and scattering away…Lauren felt the weight of her son's kidnap sit heavily on her heart.

"Lyric!" Lauren calls as a muscular white Leopard throttled over to her nuzzling its nose into her stomach.

"Kill whoever you need to, find him" Lauren says letting her fingers run through the silk fur of the leopard.

"As your command Lauren" The leopard says pushing through the mind link and disappearing through the trees. Once the leopard was gone, Lauren finally let her tears roll down her face as she succumbed to the angst in her heart.

"Bo you can't wash him with perfume soap!" Kenzi yells snatching the strawberry scented liquid soap from her hands.

"What why? It's soap"

"You suppose to use the damn dishwashing liquid if you don't have animal bathing soap"

"And how they hell do you know this?"

"Bitch I told you I had a cat name pussy"

"Wait! You name your cat pussy!" Bo bit her lip trying not to laugh out loud as Kenzi rolls her eyes

"Pussycat you perv" Kenzi poured the dark blue liquid on top of the pup's hair and started to massage the suds into the thick matted bloody hair. Once they washed everything from his coat, they dried him off and let him roam the house shaking his coat dry. Bo had ran to the store and brought some breakfast for the trio. She brought him some bacon and sausages back that he devoured in seconds. It was rolling around into the afternoon when Dyson and Tamsin came by to check on them. Dyson immediately smelt something different inside the house, damn near tearing the door down, he stumbles upon Kenzi and Bo arguing over a small black fur ball in Bo's arms.

"Come on Bo you held him all day and last night…it's my turn" Kenzi whined but quickly screamed when she heard Dyson burst through their door.

"What the fuck!" Bo yells angry pulling the pup closer to her chest. She saw Dyson eyes turn gold when he looked at the panther in her arms. A surge of protectiveness washed over her as she felt her eyes turned blue in response.

"Bo what the hell is that in your arms?" Dyson asked walking closer to her but Bo took a step back glaring at him.

"Nothing that concerns you"

"Its fae so yes it does concern me, where the hell did you get a fae shape shifter?" He asked in shock, he had come across those type of breed long time ago. They were irrational and couldn't be trusted. They killed so many of his pack brothers…they were dangerous.

"I found him last night in my basement" Bo said giving in, Dyson took a step closer but Bo blue eyes kept him at bay. He never was on the receiving end of her angry blue eyes, so he kept his distance. He could see that Kenzi and Bo already formed a attachment to the pup, but he knew they couldn't keep the pup…he was too dangerous.

"I will need to report this to the Ash Bo; he doesn't look like a regular shape shifter"

"Fuck the Ashole, this has nothing to do with him. Look at him—he's not even a danger. He could have bitten the hell out of us long time ago but he didn't" Kenzi stated but Dyson was not listening.

"The creature was found on Light fae property Bo I will have to bring him in and see why a rare species of fae shape shifter was in this area. Plus it don't look no more than a couple of years old, the Mother is defiantly looking for him…and if she finds him here she will not hesitate to kill us all"

"Turn down the dramatics a little wolf man damn! It's only a cub" Kenzi says pointing to the scared pup hiding his face in Bo's neck. Bo wasn't really listening to the argument; she was too busy trying not to attack Dyson. She never felt this way before, she never wanted to attack Dyson in anger before? Was this pup doing this to her?

"Bo Please list-

"Enough Dyson, it was a reason why the pup was in my basement. I am not going to just hand him over to you and let the Ash kill him"

"Bo you don't know the half of it! Their species are dangerous. They will turn on you the second you turn your back, I lost too many of brothers because one decided to fall in love of them. He looks just like her. She got him slaughtered by her pack" Dyson tried to explain but Bo chest was getting tighter and tighter with the urge to protect.

Protect the pup.

Even her Succubus was telling her to protect the pup, shaking her head and stepping away from Dyson.

"I think you should leave, we will figure out what to do without your help Dyson" Bo says looking down at the green eyes she was quickly falling in love with.

"Bo you can-

"Leave Dyson please…I will call you later with my decision"

"Okay" He gritted his teeth glaring at the cub in her arms, if only he could get his hands on the filthy thing, he could save his girlfriend a lot of pain and suffering.

"Call me" He says looking at Tamsin as they walked out the door leaving Kenzi and Bo standing in their kitchen.

"Well that just happened. But I am curious as to why your eyes blue, I know you wasn't feeling freaky while arguing with him?"

"No…I was fighting down my Succubus who was seconds away from tearing into Dyson's neck, she is very protective of the panther for some reason" Bo explained looking into green eyes as she smiled down at him pulling him closer.

"She might be trying to tell you something"

"Yeah she might"
