Later that night, Dyson, Tamsin and Hale were on the case. The man had been found, dead in the elevator. As Dyson lifted the cover off of the victim, the three of them could immediately recognize it as a Fae feeding. Hale wondered out loud if the killer was a Fae from the Light, both men hoping it wasn't, the blonde woman hoping it was. Although they knew it was a Fae kill, none of the officers knew the feed signature, and also noted that the kill was extremely sloppy.

As the examined the body more closely, they found a brunette hair on the body. "Hair from our killer I'd presume?" Tamsin noted. She really hoped it was one of the Light Fae, as she was Dark. One because she didn't want it to be one of hers, and two because she'd love to get one of the Light Fae in trouble for this obviously horrible kill. Dyson quickly used his heightened senses to further examine the body. He noted that he had been drinking and that there was a female scent on the man.

"The bar? That's where I'd put my money." Tamsin rolled her eyes, of course, just another disgusting human trying to entice women, what a surprise. "I'd almost respect the Fae that did this if they weren't making my job harder." Tamsin thought to herself. Tamsin didn't have much respect for humans, sure their wars gave her power, but in the end, she just used them to "juice up." Other than that, they didn't have much use.

The three cops walked into the bar and started a conversation with the manager. He said that the man sounded like he had been there earlier, but he couldn't be sure. He said that the man had been hitting on the bartender earlier, and that he had been after a blonde. Dyson's interest was piqued, and asked about the bartender. He was told that she was indeed a brunette and her name was Bo. He also was sure to note that she was smoking hot as well. Hale asked about her personal information, last name, and address, anything that could help them track the woman down.

After the manager left, Tamsin said, "Go get the security tapes Hale, I want to see this Bo girl."

Back at the station, Dyson, Hale and Tamsin were pouring over the case files and security. As Hale was reviewing the tapes, he found the footage of Bo hauling Kenzi out of the parking garage.

"Why take the girl? Does she want a snack to go?" Tamsin asked.

"I think she was protecting her." Dyson hated to admit it, but it made sense. The guy she had killed had a few assault charges and he knew the guy liked to slip things into drinks.

"Ugh, just when you think humans couldn't get worse." Tamsin was disgusted, as much as she hated humans, men like that just made her want to rip someone's balls off.

"I think he targeted the blonde, and the bartender stopped him." Hale agreed with Dyson, and he went to go put the brunette under surveillance. He made sure that she would not be approached and they would get to the brunette first.

Meanwhile down at the Dal, Hale was busy talking to the barkeeper Trick. Dyson and Tamsin walked in and over to Hale.

"You know Hale, looks like that waitress over there was seriously checking you out, you should go get your A game on." Dyson nodded towards the waitress bussing tables.

"Yeah Hale, go give her some of your famous Siren charm." Tamsin's voice was dripping with sarcasm, but Hale just ignored it.

"Whatever Tams, I got game when I need it."

"Sure you do, you keep telling yourself that." Hale laughed and got up and started up a conversation with the waitress.

Trick leaned in close to the pair. "The girl from last night, is it her?"

"You tell me, brunette, unannounced, awfully friendly with humans."

"What's the big deal with this woman Trick?"

"Tamsin, trust me it's a big deal. It's starting." Tamsin gave Trick a confused look.

"I can try and stop this." Dyson chimed in.

"How Dyson?"

"I'm not going to kill her, but there are ways to make her disappear."

"No, what's meant to be, will be. I can't fight fate."

"Well you can Trickester." Trick gave Tamsin a skeptical look. "Just watch the girl you two. And wait."

Hale's phone started to ring, Dyson and Tamsin looked over at him. "Good news, we've got the car. Let's get to it." The three of them walked out of the Dal, and went to investigate the brunette further.

You know what; I think I liked you better when you were scared of me." As the pair walked down the street, Dyson passed them, giving Bo a smile that she returned. He used his wolf senses to get her scent, and knew it was the one he was looking for. The two walked down a deserted alleyway, having a conversation that Kenzi should be Bo's so called manager. Bo confronted Kenzi trying to get her to stay away from her. Kenzi on the other hand wasn't having any of it. She knew she wanted to spend more time with the woman. Bo decided to at least give Kenzi the trial run. If it didn't work out she could just disappear, she didn't think Kenzi would rat her out. As the two were about to get in Bo's car, Hale, Tamsin and Dyson walked into the alley after them.

Bo noticed the three and turned towards them.

"Take them." Tamsin told the boys.

"Here we go." Hale used his Siren's wale to knock out the girls. Kenzi fell to the ground, while Bo was only disoriented, but it was enough for Tamsin and Dyson to grab her and drag her towards the van.

"Where are we taking her?" Tamsin asked the guys.

"The Ash." Dyson replied.

"Why the Ash?"

"Because there's two of us and only one of you."

"Don't even play that game with me siren. You know I could kick both your asses back a few centuries." Tamsin smirked, because she had actually done it before, she knew she could take them both.

"Tamsin, just trust me."

"Fine Dyson, but I will get you back for this."

As the van pulled away, Kenzi managed to get up off the ground and snap a photo of the van's plates. It was enough for her to track.

Down at the Ash's compound, Dyson and Hale had Bo by her arms, dragging her for her audience with the Ash. Tamsin was following the two closely, but since she was Dark Fae, she wasn't at all comfortable in the place. In the Ash's chamber, she was handcuffed to a chair before the Ash.

"I don't understand this, you know the rules. Just name your clan." The Ash was starting to get irritated with the woman, he didn't understand her acting job. They knew she was Fae, and she knew they were, so why play games? Over in the corner, Tamsin wasn't so sure. She could feel a lot of doubt and confusion in the woman.

"Buddy for the last time, I don't have a clan." Bo was confused and also starting to get irritated. She had no idea what they were talking about, all this talk of clans. "I'm not freaking Scottish. What kind of cops are you anyways?"

"I don't think she's faking this one guys." Tamsin said, she could feel it. The girl wasn't lying, there was too much doubt.

Bo turned her head in Tamsin's direction. "Faking it? This is just great."

"So, do you truly not know what you are?" The Ash inquired.

"What am I?" The Ash's face was so close to hers that she slammed her face into his. Dyson quickly responded by going wolf in her face. Tamsin stood silently in the corner, internally laughing, giving the woman credit. She had balls.

Dyson released Bo as the Morrigan walked into the compound. "Tamsin, I see you're already here. Good saves me time of having to track you down." Tamsin just rolled her eyes.

The Ash gestured towards her, "You are not invited."

"I know, and I'm hurt. You invited Tamsin, but not her boss?" Tamsin sighed; leave it to Evony to use her as an excuse. "Cut the shit. Word has it that someone's kill was improperly dumped in your territory last night, and not by a local. It would be nice to know if we had a new player in town."

"Could someone just please tell me what's going on?"

"Lauren, take her to the lab." Lauren nodded and started to walk towards the chained up woman.

Evony nodded towards Tamsin, "Grab her." Tamsin nodded and quickly started towards Bo. Dyson ran over to her, grabbing her by the jacket, revealing his fangs and yellow eyes.

"Down boy, you know even wolfing out you're no match for me." Dyson's actions almost made her laugh.

"Enough." The Ash yelled and Dyson let go of his partner. "Lauren needs to examine the girl."

"Please, come with me." Bo nodded and walked out of the room with Lauren. As the two walked out the Ash said, "You and I need to talk." The Morrigan nodded and followed him out, leaving Dyson, Hale and Tamsin to think about the situation.

"No." Bo walked towards the door, with Lauren in tow. When the lab doors opened, Dyson and Tamsin were there waiting for her, with handcuffs.

"You didn't think it was going to be that easy did you?" Tamsin smirked. She gave the woman credit.

"Girl can dream, can't she?"

"Hands please." Bo turned around so Dyson could put the cuffs on her.

"Sorry had to try."

"No good, it was uh, very informative." Lauren was tripping all over her words. "Where are you taking her?"

"The glass factory."

"Why?"

"It's neutral territory, so Dark Fae like myself can come see this." Tamsin winked. "I wouldn't miss this for anything. It's not everyday you get to see the test."

"Without training? That's madness!" Lauren objected.

"It's not our call." Dyson seemed to look sympathetically at Bo as the three of them walked out of the Ash's compound.

Inside Bo was still cuffed, with Tamsin watching her.

"So I hear you're a succubus."

"That's what they've told me."

"At least you're not a squonk or something."

"A what?"

"Never mind." Tamsin mentally slapped herself. She'd never been good at small talk, and the hot succubus she was guarding wasn't helping. As Tamsin was internally yelling at herself, the Morrigan entered.

"Ew, pardon the Turkish prison decor. It's a little obvious for my taste." The Morrigan's lackeys set up three chairs. "We can at least manage chairs. We are civilized folk after all. By the way, congrats on your amnesia goal routine. You've got everybody buying it, even little miss Valkyrie here." Tamsin gave the Morrigan a very dirty look. Nobody was supposed to know her species.

"But between you and I, you know more than you're telling, don't you?" Evony smirked.

"Do you?"

"Okay, girl's got to have her mystery. I can respect that."

"I'm sorry, not to interrupt your, uhm, crazy, but who are you?" Tamsin had to laugh. The succubus didn't even know the head of her clan. Pretty sad.

"Local government, consider me the welcome wagon for the Dark Fae. Do you know why you've been brought here to today? You're going to be tested."

"Oh wow, will there be math?" Both Evony and Tamsin chuckled.

"Funny, she's funny." Tamsin nodded. "Listen here norma-Fae. We have a millennia old, two party system and it works just swell because membership is mandatory."

"Well I must have lost my invitation."

"Which is a problem; see you running around, free and nonpartisan, gives all the lemmings ideas."

"I don't want any trouble, okay? Promise. Just let me go."

"Well lucky for you, if you survive your test today, you'll have an opportunity to join a side. Problem solved."

"Join? Why the hell would I want to do that?"

"We take care of our own. Look at Tamsin here. Without us she couldn't survive out in the real world. We place you in a human occupation that is to our advantage, like the police station for Tamsin, help with the disposal of your kill, not that Tamsin has a problem with that, ect. Ect. Oh, and dental." Tamsin just stared at the Morrigan. Leave it to Evony to just use her as an example when she didn't need any more attention brought to herself. She was beginning to realize that this may be the girl.

"Well I'll keep that in mind."

"You should. I hear you've been alone for a long time, no friends or family, afraid you'd kill them I'd imagine. Sounds lonely. You have the chance to be a part of something now, chance to have a new family. Or to have enemies. " Tamsin winced at that. If Bo was who she thought, Bo would have some major enemies that very few knew about. "So, be very careful how you play the next few hours." Then the Morrigan got up and walked out.

Bo turned to Tamsin. "Nice leader you've got there. Real peach."

"Yeah well, you learn to live with her. It's really not so bad, she was right about the dental though." Tamsin smirked a little.

"How do you do it?"

"Do what?" Tamsin internally was slapping herself for interacting at all with Bo. For all she knew, Bo would choose the Light, and then Tamsin's interactions with her would be minimal. But if she could sway Bo to the Dark, it could make her job much easier.

"Deal with all of this; haven't you ever wanted to just be free?" Free? Tamsin laughed, she had never been free, for her entire life. She was always roped into some sort of servitude of one kind or another.

"He's right you know. If you want to have any chance of surviving this, you're going to have to feed." Tamsin said, walking up to the two of them.

"Will I kill you?"

"Just kiss me." Dyson brought Bo's face to his and kissed the succubus. She withdrew some of his chi, and Tamsin turned away. She did not need to see her partner making out with the girl. When Bo finished feeding, she felt a rush of adrenaline running through her body.

"Oh, wow. Did, did you feel that? That was like the Fourth of July in my mouth. "

"Yeah, we all saw it too Bo, little hungry there are you?" Tamsin laughed.

"Wait, you stopped me, how did you stop me?"

"Your powers don't work on all Fae the same way." Dyson replied.

"Then how am I supposed to beat these guys?"

"Be faster, be smarter. They'll underestimate you, use that to you advantage. I've been around a while, battle is kind of my thing. Hopefully you'll come out alive. I'll see you around succubus." Tamsin told Bo, and then walked out. Dyson dragged Bo into the middle of the compound to face her test.

All sorts of Fae were there to watch her, Light and Dark. All standing on the overhanging, clapping and cheering. Bo could see Tamsin patiently watching her, observing her, like she was analyzing her chances of survival.

"He's big, but he's slow. These are your weapons." Dyson gestured to a rack. "Choose wisely. Good luck"

Bo picked up a pair of daggers, and Tamsin smiled. She had chosen well, Bo was up against a bigger opponent, stealth and agility were needed to fight him, not brute strength. Bo stepped into the arena with the large Underfae. He slammed his dual hammers on the ground as an intimidation technique.

"Enough." The Ash called out. "To the death." And the cheers started again.

Bo circled her opponent, waiting for him to make the first move. He ran and charged at Bo, swinging his hammers for her face. She ducked back, avoiding the swing, as he swung to her right. She dodged and ducked another incoming attack. As he stepped forward, she ducked a rolled to the other side of the arena. The underfae swung his hammers again at her, and as she dodged, he hit one of the brick walls, stopping his momentum enough so Bo could nick his arm. He roared and dropped his hammer.

With his free hand be punched at Bo's face, knocking her back a little. He then swung his hammer at her, leaving an opening for her to kick him in the chest, knocking him farther backwards. Again he charged and as he raised his hammer, Bo slid between his legs and sliced the back of the legs, causing him to fall to his knees. She kicked him in the chest, and then slit his throat. Tamsin allowed herself to smile, the succubus did it, but that was only the first test.

Outside of her vision, the underfae had begun to feed on Bo. Tamsin looked down, she'd hoped the succubus could have been stronger than this, obviously she wasn't.

Bo dropped her daggers, and Tamsin lost all hope that Bo would come out of it. The pain the succubus must have felt to want to rid herself of it was great. Tamsin could relate to that, however if she was killed today, Tamsin's job would become a whole lot simpler, although her employer would not be happy with her, it wasn't her fault the girl died.

Tamsin nodded her head in approval. She was surprised, Bo didn't take the easy way out, looked to her that the succubus was a fighter. This was going to be interesting.

"This one has passed the test." The Ash declared, gesturing to Bo. "It has been witnessed. Child, you may name your side." Secretly, Tamsin wished that Bo would choose the Dark, there was something about the succubus that was different from anyone else she had ever met, and yet she hoped she wouldn't because she was thawing out for Bo much too fast to be okay.

"Neither." Bo yelled. Everyone gasped, except Tamsin. She just chuckled to herself and shook her head. Leave it to the succubus to break all of the rules. "I choose humans." Bo dropped to one knee out of weakness and Kenzi ran over to her and Bo nodded to her.

Dyson and Tamsin drove the van back to the alley where they had found Bo and Kenzi, releasing them both. As they jumped out of the van Bo said, "Feel like we've been paroled."

"You sort of have been." Dyson said the pair.

"Any conditions on our release?"

"No more evidence for humans to find. No messing in Fae business, and no more leaving town. The Elders want you where they can watch you."

"Well they don't own me. And I'm not very good at being obedient."

Tamsin smirked. "I think that is quite apparent, succubus."

Dyson gave his partner a look. "Learn, when you need help." Dyson handed Bo a card that Kenzi quicky snatched.

"If I need help.." Bo quickly said.

"When you need help, you can find me at the 39th division. And Bo, you did well." Dyson went to get in the van. "You coming partner?"

"Give me a sec Dyson. I have a few things I want to clear up with the succubus."

"What Tamsin?"

"Just because you're not Light, doesn't mean we are on friendly terms." Tamsin pointed between herself and Bo. "I gave you advice during your test, and that is as far as our interaction goes. You didn't pick a side, which I can respect, not that I approve. But don't go messing it up, because if you do, I will not hesitate to take you down myself." Bo just stared at Tamsin as she turned around and got in the van.

A/N: I've gotten a bunch of reviews and PM's that asked me to write in less unaltered scenes since most of you probably have already seen them. However, I, as a writer, want to write everything in so the story isn't all choppy and I lose my place, so this is the next best thing I can come up with.

Every update I'll write the entire chapter, separate the scenes that I've altered and update a different story with just Tamsin scenes. Hopefully that'll make everyone happy.

I know I'm probably wasting a lot of time writing in the unaltered scenes, but oh well. No biggie, I find it entertaining and a way to pass the time until Season 4.
