Authors note: It's unbeta'd. At the moment I
have no beta reader for this genre. So drop me
a line if you're interested.
Second, due to health issues, and taking care
of my disabled mom, I haven't been able to
write much. But over the last several years
I've managed to slowly write on a number
of stories.
What I've decided to do is go ahead and
publish what I've managed to put together.
The stories are unfinished, and sometimes,
the last chapter I worked on is unfinished.
Plus, there maybe multiple chapters, each one
a different version. Just warning everyone.
So I apologize in advance.

Prologue
00000
" Hey! Lauren! " Bo beamed happily at her.
" I'm sorry to drop in suddenly like this, but I really
needed to talk to you. " The doctor caustiously followed
the Succubus into the pitiful house. " Is Dyson here? "
" Only me, and Bo Bo. " Kenzi eyed her over the cup of
coffee she was cradling. " Why? Afraid of catching fleas? "
Lauren cleared her throat awkwardly at the young woman's
words.
" Kenzi. " Bo hit the thief's arm lightly. " If this is about
learning to control my powers you don't have to worry
about Dyson. He'll keep it quiet. "
" No, actually, this is about your declaring yourself
Unaligned. " Lauren blinked.
" Whoa, if this is another recruitment speech, forget it. "
Bo held up her hands. " I've heard it already. "
" From Dyson, Trick, The Ash, The Morrigan... " Kenzi
rocked back and forth in bordom.
" No, No! It's nothing like that. " Lauren waved her hands,
then frowned in concern. " Wait. They've been trying to
recruit you? "
" Yeppers. " Kenzi took a long drink of her coffee.
" After you declared yourself? " She felt the pieces of the
puzzle fall into place.
" Duh, that's what we just said. " Kenzi gave her a look
like she was the dumbest person on earth.
" This is very important. " Lauren glanced over at Bo,
absently taking the cup of coffee she handed her. " Did
any of them mention the Sidhe to you? "
" Never heard of him. " Bo exchanged a confused look
with Kenzi. " Why? "
" Bo, what did The Ash and The Morrigan tell you when
you declared yourself Unaligned? " Lauren sat the cup
aside untouched.
" Nothing. " Bo moved next to her. " Only that we were
free to go. What's with all the questions? "
" And who the hell's this Sidhe? " Kenzi demanded.
" After you declared yourself, I kept an eye on the Fae
registration. " Lauren ignored the questions. " When I
didn't see your name appear, I became concerned. "
" Wait, hold up, registration? " Bo laid her hands on the
kitchen island.
" Once a new side is declared, in this case Unaligned,
until they've registered with The Sidhe they are unrecognized. "
Lauren shrugged off her dark brown leather messanger
bag, and opened it. " Which means you are open season
to both offical sides of the Fae, and so is Kenzi. They can
legally, and magically do anything they want without
consequence. "
" Why weren't we told this? " Kenzi slammed her cup
down in disbelief.
" Well in truth, The Ash and The Morrigan were duty
bound to inform Bo about registering the minute she
made her declaration. " Lauren removed a thick file
of papers and rolled her eyes. " Obviously, they didn't,
but when I heard Bo was feeding off Dyson I figured
he'd tell you two what you needed to know, but again
nothing happened so... "
" Dyson never said a word. " Bo scowled.
" I am so off Team Dyson. " Kenzi glared. " And just
how much paperwork is there? "
" Well, first, Bo is the leader of the Unaligned so paperwork.
Then there's this... property. It needs to be named the
Unaligned Compound so the Sidhe can have it purchased
and have the title, utilites, taxes, etc, put into the name
of the Unaligned. So paperwork. " Lauren set two different
thick piles of paper in front of ever increasing bulging eyes.
" Basic laws need to be decided, more can be added to, or
edited online later. So paperwork. A Coucil, if you want one,
so paperwork. You get a start up library. Paperwork. Monthly
allowance. Paperwork. "
" Whoa! " Kenzi dived forward, grabbing the last stack of
paperwork. " We get an allowance?! "
" Yes, all sides do. " Laurens gave her a croaked smile.
" You are my favorite person ever. " Kenzi cradled the
papers with teary eyes.
" You realize you are sooo helping us with all this, right? "
Bo grimaced at the stack in front of her.
Lauren smirked at the Succubu and simply pulled a pen
out of her messanger bag, handing it over to the woman.
" Start writing. " Lauren chuckled.
" Ugh. " Bo groaned. " I hate you so much right now. "

" Done. " Bo pushed the last of the paperwork away.
" Finally. "
" Never. Again. " Kenzi sobbed dropping her head onto
the kitchen island.
" It wasn't that bad. " Lauren quickly put the papers into
order, and slipped them back into their folder.
" Now what? " Bo rubbed her neck with a wince. " You
just mail it in? "
" The Sidhe would never trust his mail to human mail. "
Lauren removed a small pouch from a zippered compartment
of her messanger bag. Opening it, she dumped the contents
into the palm of her hand.
" A whistle? " Bo stared curiously.
" Watch. " The blonde lifted the delicate, thin, tube like whistle
to her lips and blew.
" I hate to blow your whistle, doc, but it's broken. " Kenzi
sat up when it didn't make a noise.
