Saturday
Tamsin, 20:00
Orange shining liquid splashed into the shot glasses as Tamsin Valkirk poured her last shots of being a student. It was the last saturday she would have where she would be a free person, not tied down to a teaching job, not tied to a career, a free woman. It would all change on Monday morning when she walked into Dal high school to meet her new tutor. Music boomed around her in the club, her friends jumping around her, grinding against each other, laughing at their immuturity. Tamsin turned with the tray to face the large crowd in the club, smiling a twisted smile and her friends gathered around.
"Ok, listen up! This shit storm is about to get messy and I want to spend my last independent saturady with my main Faes, whos up for red light liquor and a hard partying?" Tamsin shouted across the music, her friends all cheered in response, taking their shots, lifting their wrists and downing in one. They all cheered again, laughing and dancing themselves into the crowd leaving Tamsin with a tray in one hand and an empty shot glass in the other. Her eyes drifted to the floor, and up to the bar as she placed the tray down and sighed. It would be the last night that she would properly see her friends, tomorrow she moved on with her life, leaving this chapter behind her, starting a fresh. Tamsin was always the strong one, but that was in front of people when she had company, and right now in this room of Fae she was weak.
Bo, 20:00
"Listen here buddy I don't take kindly to advances that I don't consent to, so how about you take your minion over there and leave before I kick your ass!" Bo pulled her daggers from her boots and pointed the blades at the mens throats. They put their hands up by the heads, one a little more enthusiastically than the other. The pale white stick of a man looked to Bo through the still city air, the graffitied walls of the alley way blocking passers by from the scene.
"Sweetness, we are only here to have a little fun." The man waved his large friend to get closer to Bo, who jumped her place to get a shot at both of them, swaying between knees to assess which one to attack first.
"You take another step and that foot will go so far up your arse you wont be able to walk again." The man slowed his advacne, and looked to the leader for advice. The leader smoothed his greasy black and licked his lips sighing in frustration.
"Look here succubus, you cannot just go around killing humans that belong to Fae! Especially not your Dark Fae bosses." The man, looked agonised but suddenly advanced on Bo, she slashed her daggers in the air but imediately her arms froze mid attack, she stared at them willing them to go on and stab the man but they wouldnt budge. Her arms began to come back down, her wrists turning the dagger sto point towards her throat.
"What the hell is this?" Bo screamed exasperated from the invisible force that was now pushing her hand towards her.
"The thing is Bo, you don't mess with a mesmer. Now if my boss wasn't your boss, and she hadn't given me explicit instructions not to harm a hair on your pretty little head I would have you!" Vex, turned his arm and the power made the blade fall to her side and her struggle come to nothing, Bo was breathing really hard, gasping for control over herself.
"Well, I guess some little boy didnt get to play with his toys when he was young, or do you just love stealing them from others?"
"Finally she admits to being the mighty Morrigans bitch!" Vex looked to the large man, and gestured his hand for him to leave. "The morrigan wants to see you, right now."
"Well I guess she'll have to wait, I have a party to attend." Bo pushed her hair behind her head and pulled it up into a pony tail, smoothing it with her fingers, before she got into her Camero, hit the gas and sped form the alley to the main road and into the distance, leaving Vex and the large man frustrated in the alley, kicking themselves.
Tamsin, 20:30
"Hello stranger." A familiar voice beckoned to Tamsin, her face cracked into a smile and she looked up to meet the eyes of one of her friends, her eyes were green and her lips bright red. There was something strong about her friend and she knew that she would always need her in tough times.
"You caught me." Tamsin said, grabbing a drink handed to her by the barmaid, winking and taking a sip. Tamsin's hand shook slightly but her throat ignited at the sweet taste of the liquor and she felt like she was drinkings gods own drink.
"You invite us all out and then you hide by the bar? Tam, I think maybe you arent enjoying yourself?"
"Amelia, this is one shit sandwich that doesnt eat like a meal." Tamsin laughed and took another sip of her drink, feeling the fumes fill her nose and the spirits flow through her veins.
"How about we get out of here, go some place quieter?" Amelia licked her lips slightly, touching Tamsin's drinking hand. Tamsin didnt return the gesture and smiled awkwardly, looking to the floor. Amelia stepped a foot closer and went to kiss Tamsin's neck. Amelia's short black lycra skirt revealing her sheer tight coverd thighs.
"Look, I am just not in the mood ok, I have a lot on my mind." Tamsin snapped. Quickly Tamsin's solid facial expression returned and she let her emotions be silenced. But her body couldnt resist the invitation in front of her, the alcohol letting her mind slip onto the possibilities of seeing Amelia naked underneath her...It would be the last chance to let herself go before all her responsibilities caugh up with her... Tamsin grabbed Amelia's face and their lips connected, roughly searching each other, her tongue outlining Amelia's lips. Tamsin could feel Amelia's hands on her bare sides, and it felt good. But the alcohol was making its way back up.
She let go, pausing for a moment, a look of horror stuck her and she stared at Amelia. Amelia totally oblivious to the mountain that was trying to crawl its way up Tamsin's throat. She threw herself past Amelia, cascading violently through the crowd searching for the ladies toilets. The music was making her head dizy; she bounced off of fae dancing, pixies with angled ears gave her dirty looks, but it didnt matter, illness struck her forehead and she was burning up. A ladies toilet sign hit her, as she pushed through the door and dropped herself by a toilet basin just in time for the puke to come up. Once it was all out, Tamsin wipped her ill mouth and sat there for a bit leaning against the cubical wall.
"What have I come to?" Tamsin sarcastically asked herself, her hand half heartedly trying for the rope flusher, catching it and pulling.
Bo, 20:30
The Camero roared itself stopped, she took the keys out of ignition, smiled slightly at the ground and walked on the damp path towards the Dark Fae club. 'Carpe Noctem' the name of the club was illuminated on a black sign above the doors in a silver light. The doors were made of cherry oak and when she pushed them open the smell of alcohol and sex drove her mad. Immediatly she pulled her leather jacket loose to reveal her low cut black lycra top, her white gold necklace complimenting her glowing blue eyes. She breathed in the air and licked her lips, walking towards the bar, stroking differnet peoples arms as she went. The Bass dropped and the people jumped and began dancing wildly, their arms in the air. Usual scents filled her nose and the aura's of sexual tension made her whole body excite and her core wet.
But there was a new scent she hadnt tasted before, her eyes widened and she saw the blonde girl running towards the ladies toilets, she pursed her target, watching the slender body pulsing, the aura flowing off her, tantalising Bo's hunger. The blonde was wearing a loose fitting very low cut silk blouse and tight black skinnies, her black shiny heels barely supporting the stumbling mess. Something must be wrong with the girl, Bo thought in her run for her. Her hunger burned as she got closer, the girl stumbled into the toilets and before the door closed Bo could see her dash for the toilet and collapse. Bo pushed herself through the door and caught her prey.
"I think you are a hot mess." This time an unfamilliar voice came from behind Tamsin, tiredness and alcohol clouded her thoughts and vision, but she made out a warm face staring back at her, her hair was long as brown put up in a pony tail, at least Tamsin thought it was. The leather jacket she wore rubbed against her back as the new woman soothed her.
"Well arent you the prettiest Fae in town." Tamsin slurred, awkwardly smiling as her eyes rolled back and she puked again. Tamsin's voice was sarcastic, but serious a humor she had developed from years of never trusting anyone.
"Why thank you, but I dont really think you are in any state to be flirting." Bo rubbed Tamsin's back. "I'm Bo, and you can thank me later." Bo's arms lifted Tamsin off the floor and clung to her for support. Tamsin's legs found their footing and she attempted to walk to the bathroom door before falling on her own feet, she thought she saw Bo's eyes glowing blue.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" Tamsin asked innoccently, she saw what looked like Bo questioning herself, before Bo replied.
"I knew a girl that was in your situation once, and I don't want what almost happened to her to happen to you ok. Think of it as a Faevor." Bo laughed, pulling Tamisn back up in her drunked state, she admired Tamsin's beautiful toned torso underneath her white almost sheer silk shirt, before snapping out of it and carrying her new fae out of the bathroom.
"What are you the Fae cops? Come to arrest little old Tamsin" Tamsin slurred, tiredness overcoming her. "It is entirely possible that I dont feel so good." Tamsin said before it all blacked out.
Bo grabbed her dagged from her bag and put it in her boot for protection, an unknown fae was now in her care, totally drugged up and vulnerable, she should at least protect herself. As she walked her through the crowd, girls suddenly gathered around the two of them, they seemed to all recognise the girl, Tamsin, and so Bo let them talk.
"Woah, what are you doing with our friend!" The girls were a little too preppy, and seemed to not fit with Tamsin's drunken straight faced tough look. Bo was uneasy and so held on tight to Tamsin.
"Who are you?" Bo asked directly to the most energetic of the bunch, a dark haried woman with brilliant geen eyes and bright red lipstick.
"Who are you more like and what are you doing with our friend?" Bo was skeptical, and shifted her position, Tamsin began to come around slightly a glass in her hand from somewhere, she swayed and stared at her friends who were all just as drunk.
"This is Bo, isn't she just the sweetest thing." Then Tamsin dropped the glass, Bo took this as an opportunity to leave, the green eyed girl holding Bo's sight as they left.
"I'm taking her home, she has had enough to drink." Bo left out the fact she thought Tamsin had been drugged. Bo's hunger grew to its maximum and she stumbled slightly, but managed to get Tamsin in the front seat and drive home.
The doors to Bo's ramshackle house pushed open as she dragged a dilirious Tamsin through the door, she pulled her to the coach, dropped her and shut the door. Light from the ceiling shone on the sofa, illuminating Tamsin's perfect skin and deep icy, if not a little glazed over, blue eyes. What am I going to do with you? Bo thought, and went upstairs to find a spare blanket. Tamsin stared at the roof; made of wooden planks placed in random directions, which physically should even exist at the angles they did and impossibley stayed up there. In her dellirium her eyes began to close, her hands went to her silk blouse and began to unbutton it, her fingers fumbeling, eventually she just ripped it from her and sat in her tight jeans and black bra. Her mouth was numb and she felt totally relaxed, her extra shots before and secret ones in the club were a bad idea. Beeping made her look around her the room she was in, it has a make shift kitchen space with a table crammed full of stuff; empty wine bottles, large glass jars of cereals and cheese puffs, flowers and make shift thrift decorations. Whatever this place is, it had some sort of style, Tamsin thought.
Bo grabbed a blanket from her drawes, and breifly looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes were now brown, but this new girls scent aroused her to new levels she hadnt felt before. Before she could get herself to the staircase Kenzi jumped out from behind a wall.
"Why is there a drugged up fae on our couch?" Kenzi held a baseball bat in both of her hands, prepared to fight the new fae. Bo smiled and gave Kenzi a reassured look.
"Kenzi, nice to see you too, the mission went great thanks for asking." They laughd, Kenzi relaxed her hold on the bat, still a little unsure.
"Do you remember when we first met?"
"Yes, how could I forget getting drugged and almost having a gross encounter with some sweaty dude!"
"Well, this girl Tamsin, I think she was drugged. I dont know why but there is something different about her, she is nothing like I have enountered before and I think she is new to the area...I just wanted to make sure she was ok."
"So you just brought some randomo, hot ass fae, who you have never met into our house...great Bo, totes amazeballs." Kenzi put the bat down by the wall and walked with Bo to meet the girl.
Tamsin watched as Bo and some other girl walked towards her, both were blurred in her haze and she smiled widely at them.
"Hey sorry dudes, guess I got drugged?" Tamsin said and then her smiled faded and she fell asleep. Bo placed the blanket over her. Kenzi grabbed Tamsin's belongings before Bo could stop her and ran to the computer.
"Kenzi what are you doing?" Bo asked and followed her.
"I am doing a search, finding out who and what we are dealing with."
"Whatever she is, is passed out on our sofa, she isnt going to do much harm."
The screen shone on Kenzi's light eyes, she typed fast, and read through what she found.
"So her name is Tamsin Valkirk...Recently moved here...She's Dark apparently...oh look hey!" Bo leaned over her to see the screen. "She works at your school!" Bo scowled and read the name again.
"I've never heard that name before." Bo questioned, looking at the girl snoring on the sofa. Kenzi scrolled through the information and smiled and turned to Bo.
"Thats because she is brand new, starts in two days, well-" Kenzi looked to the clock now showing midnight. "-Actually, she starts tomorrow...It's her first Fae job." Kenzi grinned at her snooping skills and too looked at the girl who was turning over, her arms above her head and hanging off the edge.
"What do we do?" Bo asked, moving to get a glasses of wine from the cooler.
"I guess we can make sure she is ok and then send her home?" Kenzi tapped her painted fingers on the table and pushed back from the desk on the chair. She took the glass of white wine Bo offered around the front of the desk, side by side with her bestie.
"Good luck on monday, its a fae fae world out there." Bo and Kenzi clinked their glasses and looked to Tamsin, taking a sip and sighing.
