I Need My Doctor Stat!

Chapter 1

I slowly shuffled towards the lit doorway of Dr. Lauren Lewis's modern stylish abode feeling the blood continue to run down my leg and soak through my black halter top. The two large gashes I received from an underfae were thanks to the hugest bloody claws I have ever seen. I only survived by squeezing myself through a small hole in the sewer grate. How I get myself into these situations I have no idea but trouble seems to find me wherever I go, so having my own personal doctor comes in very handy. My vision is beginning to blur as I reach for the buzzer. Stop! my brain tells me just as I am about to ring it. Lauren isn't in there alone anymore, I am reminded as a picture of Lauren and Nadia kissing fills my mind.

I stumble around the corner of the loft and sink down against the wall reaching for my phone. Better make an appointment first, I think bitterly. I hold my breath as I wait for Lauren to answer the phone.

"Bo, what's wrong. Are you okay? Do you know what time it is? "

"I'm sorry Lauren. Your place was the closest and I'm losing quite a lot of blood and it really hurts." I let out a hiss as another sharp burning sensation comes over me.

"Where are you?"

"Just outside next to the rose bushes. I was about to buzz the bell but remembered that you aren't living by yourself anymore," I reply trying for neutral and failing miserably.

I hear Nadia's voice through the phone. "Who is it babe? It's late come to bed." I try not to imagine Nadia's hands all over the beautiful blonde woman who has captured my heart and soul. Lauren puts on her professional doctor voice and tells her there is a medical emergency and she has to go. Into the phone she says, "I'll be there as soon as I can."

I lay slumped against the wall taking deep breaths as I try to control the pain and my overwhelming emotions. At this point I don't know which hurts more the large gashes on my body or the pain of not being with Lauren.

I hear the front door open and close and hold my breath, preparing for the sight of the woman I long to hold in my arms again. When she turns the corner I can't help but smile even as Lauren's face crumbles at the sight of my obvious injuries.

"Oh Bo," is all she can say as she rushes towards me, medical bag in hand.

"It's bad isn't it?" I say trying to get a read on her face, but she is in doctor mode now so it's impossible to tell.

"Bo, this is going to require your special brand of healing and there is no way that I am strong enough to heal you," she says with such frustration at her own shortcomings for being human that I find myself needing to comfort her instead of the other way round.

"'Hey, hey, look at me, it's okay."

"How is it okay, Bo? It's the one thing you need and I can't be that for you. I can't give you what you need."

"Lauren that is not what I need from you, we... us... it's different... more. You do know that right?" I can't continue as another huge burst of pain spreads throughout my chest, it feels as if something is trying to claw its way out . My vision starts to fog until there is nothing but black.

"Bo? Shit! Think, Lauren, think. "

The frantic blonde pulls out her phone and dials a number and waits for the other end to pick up.

"Hello?"

"Emily, this is Dr. Lewis. You told me if I ever needed some help I could call you. Does that offer still stand?"

"Of course, Lauren, I would not have said it if I didn't mean it, you know that."

"Okay, are you at home? I'll be there in ten minutes," the doctor replied hurriedly.

"Of course. You remember where it is?" the woman on the other end enquires.

"Yes I do, I will be there shortly." Lauren hangs up the phone and gets to work rousing Bo enough to get her to the car. The doctor finally manages to bring Bo back to consciousness so she could bundle her into the back seat. Lauren talks to Bo as she speeds to Emily's estate as fast as humanly possible.

"Bo, try to stay awake for me, please. It won't be long now. "

"I miss you, Lauren, so much, I—"

"Bo, open your eyes. Please keep talking to me."

Bo is mumbling incoherently, something about pulling the nail out, stupid Lachlan for telling her how to... Nadia took my... mumble, mumble.

Lauren almost crashes into a parked car as her mind starts putting together those little pieces of information. Oh my God, how could I not have seen it before? I had read so many books about shaman curses needing to be broken by someone acting selflessly. Of course it would have been Bo. She has the biggest heart and would do anything for me no matter the cost to herself. How could she have just believed the new Ash so readily? Lachlan has probably never done anything by selfless means in his entire life. Lauren pictures the look on Bo's face when she tells her that she has recommitted to the Ash. He must have told her that she could never reveal that she had done it.

"Hang in there Bo, please." Lauren is pretty much yelling as tears stream freely down her face, pulling into the driveway of her only hope.
