Spoiler alert, if you haven't seen 5.07, this story will spoil you.
Story followed the same structure as my old EVex fan fiction Behind Closed Door (if you wish, check that out), but Vex's obsession for Mark and Evony's old flame/invisible lover had pretty much sinked my ship. (BTW, I am going to add "that little asshole" overtime after I said the name Mark.) So, a little Eros/Evony flashback and some modern day Evony/daughter fiction? Please review if you like it.
Knock knock. Lauren heard a knock on the door. "Hi?" A brunette woman in her late 50s peeked her head into Lauren's office, "Dr. Lauren Lewis?"
"Yes?" Lauren replied.
"Hi, I am Heather," She put her hand out, "Heather Marquise."
"Marquise? I assumed you are related to Evony?" Lauren shook her hand, but at the same time was ready to defend herself.
"You are most certainly correct, Dr. Lewis," Heather smiled, "She is the reason I came."
"Like I said before, you can't rush science," Lauren said.
Heather shook her head, "I am the acting Morrigan."
"You are here to kill me?" Lauren reached under her table for the anesthesia needle.
Heather finished Lauren's statement. "Yada yada yada, If Evony stays human forever, then I can be the leader of the dark forever, yada yada yada. If I get a nickel every time someone says this to me, I will be funding the clinic myself." She rolled her shoulders.
"So, you are not here to melt me?" Lauren relaxed for a second.
"Don't worry. I am not going to melt you. I have never given birth." She saw confusion on Lauren's face and continued to explain, "A Leanan Sidhe only gains melting power when she is pregnant with her first fae child."
"Then, why are you here?" Lauren asked.
Another brunette walked into the Dal. All the dark fae bowed. "Jimmy Choo shoes, Louis Vuitton dress and Hermes handbag? What did I do to have the honour to meet the beautiful Tlahuicole?" Trick took her hand and kissed it like a gentleman.
"Not much. We heard the news. The ancients are back. The dark elders believe it's time to make it official," She turned around to the crowd, "Attention!"
"Isn't this Evony's big sister?" Vex would never shut his loud mouth, "Miracle."
"Oh, my dear Vex. I prefer Lisa now, just like Evony no longer going with Dawn. Miracle just sounds too much like a stripper name," She smiled, but Vex could feel she secretly gave him a death stare.
Bo entered the Dal with Dyson. They felt the tension and stood in the back of the bar.
"Tomorrow, a Thunder Duel will be held and new successor to the Morrigan will be named. Let the entertainment begin," Lisa laughed and left.
"Thunder duel?" Bo walked toward the bar table.
"It's the dark fae death match tradition. A new Morrigan is nominated by the elders and he or she would be challenged. Duels to the death," Dyson explained, "The winner becomes the next duelling nominee and the Morrigan when no one wants to challenge."
"Fun," Bo said it sarcastically.
"What did I miss?" Mark the little asshole walked out from the back room.
"So, here's how dark fae pick their leader. The elders have already named me to be the next Morrigan, but I am not ready. I haven't fed for twenty-eight years and I haven't battled since my old-school-style gathering. I know I will definitely die in the duel. This is the only time Evony needs me and I can't leave her. I can't die." Heather tried to not cry. "If you can turn Evony into fae by tomorrow, then it will be win-win for both Evony and me. A, Evony will be happy to get her power back. B, the Thunder Duel would be cancelled and I won't get brutally ripped into four pieces by a werewolf. C, when Evony is the Morrigan again, I don't have to stay here to deal with boring paperwork. D, I promise you that I will protect you and Evony won't kill you. E…"
Lauren stopped Heather before she could continue, "Sorry, I don't have the serum."
"Evony is living today because I have owned her since the day she turned human. Please don't let people kill her if I die tomorrow," Heather turned around, "Hope I didn't take up too much of your time."
