Kenzi's POV

Everyone had just headed back to the Dal to celebrate the victory of defeating the Garuda. Bo had finally become herself again after her inner power rage. I walked out of the bathroom and looked for my sister. I missed her so much these days since she was so busy with preparing for the battle. I finally found her and Doctor Hotpants sitting in the darker corner, on the love seat. I really wonder what Bobo sees in her. I can see the Doc's true self, unlike everyone else, seeing past her façade. I see the hunger for power, the want for freedom, and even the way she thinks she is the best human out there. I know I may not be perfect, but come on I am pretty fan-fucking-tastic. Like please the Kenz is amazing! Now if only all these ignorant faes would stop looking at me like I'm a piece of meat that they want to eat, while still hating my guts. Oh well their lost. All the sudden I'm struck with the burning sensation in my arm. I quickly walk to the hallway that no one can see me in and roll up my sleeve. This stupid rash just keeps getting worse. Worse of all, for all I know this thing could kill me. That Norn never did tell me whom the gift was for. I wish I could tell Bobo or even one of my other friends, but then I would be the bloody human who only gets hurt again. I refuse to be that girl. I covered my arm pack up and walked out before anyone got suspicious.

I walked straight over to the bar ready to get my party on. No unknown rash is keeping me from my much needed alcohol. Like hell, alcohol may just be a new food group for me. I jumped up onto the stool. Just when I sat Trick came over with a beer and two shots. Yes! I lurve this guy sometimes.

"Yes! It must be Christmas! Trickster, your the man!" I replied quickly. I whipped my head back and took both shots as Trick walked away. I'm happy for Bo that she has someone like him in her family. Even though he waited like 30 years. All the sudden I hear Dyson behind me.

"Easy there Kenz, don't be get alcohol poising so early in the night." He said with a laugh. His laughs are so rare, but they are so amazing. Anytime I make him laugh, I get this fuzzy feeling like I did something good.

"Hey Wolfman, puh-lease I can hold my own, probably times two." I said with my signature Kenzi smirk.

He laughed again. "Oh, I don't doubt that at all. Sometimes I wonder how you got such I high tolerance. I mean I know some fae that don't even come close to your standards."

"No one can live up to my standard, D man, you should know that by now." I replied back. I mean if you're not Kenz, you can't beat the Kenz. The only thing wrong right now with the Kenz was the pain starting to emit from the rash. That damn Norn! I needed to leave before it got any worse.

"Sorry Wolfy, I'm really tired from today's battle against evil." I said trying to add some humor trying to cover my abnormal want to leave the Dal early. "I'm gonna have to leave this party early."

"Are you sure Kenzi?" Dyson said. "Your not hurt are you?" He said as his eyes tried to find anything wrong with me.

"Nope, I'm fine D. Nothing wrong with me." I tell you, he has a sixth sense for lying. He looked at me like their was something I'm not telling him. I mean sure there is, but no way in hell am I telling him. If one person knows the whole group knows. So I'm on my own for finding out how to stop this stupid rash. I hopped off the bar stool and took my leave. I hopped in the car Bobo and I share and drove back to the clubhouse.

Once I walked inside, there was a whole new level of pain coursing through my veins. It just kept getting worse as the time went by. I decided tomorrow I start my search on how to stop this monstrosity of a rash.

"Damn it! How long can this damn thing keep this up!" I shouted at no one. After a couple more minutes it finally became bearable and I went on with my life. If you can't tolerate pain have fun in the real world. The night had me thinking for some odd reason. I thought back on my ex-mother and ex-stepfather and how much of an ass they were. I mean who hurts their ten-year daughter and locks them in closets. Although the years on the streets were neither nice nor enjoyable they still taught me so much about life. You should only rely on yourself. You can never depend on anyone else. Don't trust anyone at any cost and always listen to your gut. As much as I hated the streets, I would have never become stronger or be where I am today. I thought about Bo and how she was practically the sister I never had, Hale, the brother I never had, Trick, who I even looked at sort of in a grandfatherish way. I than thought of Dyson. Oh Dyson. He was the man I could never have. He was perfect in all the right ways and even handsomer then anyone could ever imagine. But even if I told him how I felt, he would never feel the same for me. I am just a bloody human after all. I still fell guilty for all the trouble I cause him, especially Baba Yaga. Man, I really screwed up that time. I needed to get him out of my heed quickly before forbidden things start happened. I thought to Lauren, how she is just so fake. I wish I could tell Bo to just drop her, but I know Bo really likes the Doc. I know in time though she wont be good enough in Bo's standards. I know that, but Bo doesn't. She will realize it though. I looked at the clock and in bright red letters I saw it was 11pm. I shifted into a more comfortable position and closed my eyes before I fell into a deep sleep.

Next morning

I woke with a pain in my arm and voices talking in my head. I quickly realized it was from that stupid rash. I hopped out of bed and headed to the shower. Today I was going on a 'field trip' to figure out this Norn rash. I got ready and walked downstairs. I realized I was right with my assumption that Bo would spend the night with the Doc at her place. That made things easier this morning. I quickly wrote a note to Bo saying I had to visit some friends and I would be back soon, most likely in two or three days. I left the note on her bedroom door, grabbed my bag, and started driving.

I decided to head to Norn to see if she would give me any information. I knocked on her door, waiting patiently not to anger the old fae. Soon it was apparent she was ignoring me. I slammed into the door surprisingly breaking it, and was quickly wishing I had brought some power tools. The Norn looked at me with utter shock. What has she never seen a human angry before?!

"Thanks for opening the damn door." I said to the Norn. She looked at me with confusion on her face.

"How are you not dead yet?" She asked me.

"What the hell! You tried to killed me?" I shouted at her with anger blazing through my veins.

"The blood. It kills any humans… with no fae blood in them." She spoke the last part quietly, but I still heard. Surprised was the understatement of the century.

"What do you mean fae blood? Are you saying I'm part fae?" I asked with interest and worry. What will happen to me now? Surprisingly the Norn gave me a piece of paper with an address on it.

78 Apple Tree Lane, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

It didn't seem like a con, so I decided to go check it out. I left the Norn's house and drove for two hours and soon was walked into a large library. It seemed to be vacant at the moment and I was going to take full advantage of that. I took a look at the books and realized this was a fae library.

"Why the hell is the Norn sending me to a library." I thought at loud. All the sudden someone rammed into me and helpd me against the wall.

"Hold the hell up buddy." I spit out. "First of all, WHAT THE HELL!" I was quickly getting angry. "Second, why don't you get your greasy little fae hands the fuck off me!" As soon as I said that, he looked at me with fear and backed up. That's right get the hell away from me. He walked away quickly, while the girl walked towards me. The man gave her an uneasy look while she just nodded at him. He continued his walk away when the lady stepped right in front of me. She took a look at me and then started talking.

"Who are you? You are human, but with a fae tint. How is that possible?"

"A fae tint really? Well I guess that is none of your business. Now, who are you?"

"How dare you talk to me like that. You are a mere human, and I am fae. I don't know who owns you but go back to them this instant!"

Once she said owned, my anger reared again. She looked at me like she has seen a ghost and had fear on her face.

"What is something on my face!?" I yelled irritated at her.

"No, your eyes…" she said in a voice of surprise, fear, and amazement all in one.

"What is wrong with my eyes." I retorted back, still angered.

" They are red and gold." She said with the same voice. I was surprised by her response and looked into the glass window near me. She was right my eyes were red with gold until they slowly turned back. I was now a little freaked out. Why would both the man and the lady have fear on their face when they saw my eyes?

"Why are my eyes like this?" I asked. Then I remember the rash. I pulled up my sleeve to show her. "What caused this and what will happen to me? What am I?" I quickly thought. She looked at me with the same uneasiness the man did. She did not respond, still to stunned apparently.

"Are you the librarian?" I asked. She could only shake her head yes.

"Than give me a book on this! Damn it!" I yelled at her. She quickly ran away and came back in no time with two books in no time. I took them and walked away without a word or a glance. I hopped back in the car and drove to a motel to rent a room the rest of the day I started reading the books until I passed out.

Next Morning

I woke up with the two books surrounding me and realized I had fallen asleep last night. Today was the day I headed back home. Home. It was defiantly weird having a place I called home. I packed up all my stuff making sure the books were hidden and started on my way back. By the time I got back it was around 5 o'clock, perfect time to head to the Dal. When I walked in, I saw all my friends by the bar talking. I walked up to the waitress and ordered my usual. After receiving my drink I walked up to the group, and Dyson was the first to notice me. Probably thanks to his superior wolf senses. He looked relieved.

"Ok D man, what's with the face?" I asked the wolf shifter.

"I'm just relieved your ok Kenz."

"Why wouldn't I be ok Wolfy?" He gave me a look that said you left with only a note for Bo in a fae world where you could have been killed and with so many other evils we don't know about yet.

"Ok, moving on… What did I miss?" I said trying to change the topic discreetly. Lets say it wasn't too discreet.

"Apparently there's a new fae that showed up at a library in Ottawa. Only two people saw her but they were too scared to give up any information, so we will have to figure it out the old way." I suddenly knew he was talking about me. There was no way though he could find that out right now, especially before I solve this rash problem.

"Alright well I'm heading back to the clubhouse. Its been a looonnnggg day." I gave them my Kenzi smirk and walked out of the Dal and started heading home.

Dyson's POV

There was something off with Kenzi. My wolf was pacing inside my mind trying to figure out what the problem was. I decided after a half an hour of considering it, I was going to check in on Kenzi. I drove over to the broken down house to hear a sound of pain. My wolf was on high alert and I started sprinting into the building, thinking of the worse. I barged into the living room and climbing the stairs two at a time into Kenzi's room. I found her lying on the mattress with her eyes closed in pain with a whimpering noise escaping her. She seemed oblivious of the world around her. I ran over to her, my heart constricting seeing the strong girl I've come to love breaking before me. I've never seeh her look so small before.

"Kenz. Kenzi!" I tried screaming at her, still oblivious to everything until she shot up, with wide eyes, before running faster than I've ever seen a human run into the bathroom. She lock the door immediately before I even had a chance to go after her. I herd her scared, heavy breaths as I walked over to the door.

"Kenzi? Are you ok? What was that about? Are you hurt?!" My wolf as well as me were past the point of scared and now are flat out petrified.

"Kenzi! Kenzi open the door or I'm breaking in!" I was immensely worried about my little human. She never ran or hid, especially from me.

"Kenzi I'm serious!" I listened for any movement, but there was none. I could tell she was on the other side of the bathroom.

"That's it, I'm coming in!" I warned her. Not a second later, I collided with the door successfully breaking it down. I looked around frantically trying to find Kenzi. What I saw broke my heart into millions of pieces. There was the human girl who saved my life countless times without asking for anything, while other faes did nothing.

"Kenzi? Kenzi look at me." I was almost positive she was trying to shrink her petit body till you couldn't see her anymore. Finally, she looked at me.

"D man. I'm fine. Don't worry." I was ready to yell at her apparently I'm not worrying enough.

"Oh yeah? Then why did you run away?" I asked with my eyebrows rising is suspicion. Kenzi did not run away. She stood her ground.

"You just surprised me D man." I could tell she was lying and by her face it was clear she knew I didn't believe her. I grabbed her arms quickly to get to look at me again and all I saw was pain flashing in her eyes before she shut them tight.

"Kenzi? What's wrong?" She didn't respond, but I knew she was in pain. Before she could refuse I roled up her sleeve quickly. I felt my wolf ready to scream and howl. I almost did until I saw her trying to get away. She had the most painful looking rash I've ever seen.

"Kenzi! What the hell is this?" I pretty much hissed out not to scare her with an angry and loud wolfman.
