Lost Girl: Tamsin & Kenzi
Author's Note: If Bo wasn't taken, Tamsin/Kenzi based story. Based on the episodes after Dyson finds kid Tamsin. :) P.S. Tamsin and Kenzi are already dating and are mates in this story.
Ch 1
Kenzi could barely contain herself, tears streaming down her face as she curled into a small ball in her bed mattress.
It had been months, months without her Valkyrie.
Curling closer into herself, the brunette whimpered.
"Tamsin, please...please come back to me."
...
A deep voice cleared behind her, scratchy. "Uh...Kenz?"
The leggy brunette hastily uncurled from her ball , standing up before crossing her arms over her chest uncomfortably, wiping at her eyes, the brunette looked up.
Her eyes widened.
There was Dyson, standing in her doorway.
"Dyson!" The brunette quickly scurried over to the wolf's side. "You're here, did you find something?"
The wolf gave her a look of penitence. "I'm sorry Kenzi, I-"
"Don't." The brunette wiped furiously at tears that she refused to disclose. "J-just Don't...Dyson...please...D, please tell me we have a lead."
The wolf sighed, pulling the woman into his side, embracing her. "Hey, come on this is not the Kenzi I know, we'll find her. I promise, we will. In fact...why don't you come downstairs?"
"Dyson, I'm not really in the mood to-"
"Hey, just this once...it's a surprise."
The brunette pulled away to look up at the shifter, unsure. "I don't know..."
"You'll love it, I promise."
Kenzi sighed, defeated. "Okay, let me just clean up, I'll meet you down there." The brunette retreated away into the bathroom, leaving the wolf in the door archway.
-(Downstairs, Ten Min. Later)-
Kenzi gaped. "Oh my god it's mini-me. Who is that?"
"I found her at the site."
Kenzi stared wide eyed at the child, sitting on her counter top, eyes tearing up slightly. "Is that..."
"I believe so."
"B-but, how? I'd thought she'd be more like...clone-y."
"Valkyries have many lives, Kenzi."
The brunette couldn't help the tears flowing down her cheeks now. "Oh my god." She started at the Valkyrie but was pulled back by two hands on her shoulders. "Dyson!"
"Easy, we don't want to frighten her, she might lash out and if she is Tamsin, she'll try to kill you."
Kenzi's eyebrows rose, taking a look over her shoulder to watch the Valkyrie playing with the kitchen knife before turning back towards the wolf.
"B-but, I'm her mate, she won't hurt or lash out on me, right?"
Dyson sighed, letting go of the humans shoulders unsurely casting a glance at the Valkyrie from across the room. "Kenzi...you have to understand when Valkyries are reborn, their memories come back slowly and scattered, it might take a while for her to remember you, to get used to you and such." He paused. "Kenzi, I'm not an expert on this but...if it makes you feel any better, I have a theory."
The brunette nodded insistently, cueing the wolf to go on.
"Well, with the little I've read up on Valkyrie's in the past, I have two theories. One being that Valkyrie's as young children...they see so much carnage in one lifetime that sometimes they repress those memories in the next, and obviously those carnage memories have nothing to do with you but they also tend to accidentally bury their happiest memories before they enter their new life cycle so they don't have to suffer through only getting back bits and pieces later, guilt."
Kenzi stared frozen for a few seconds, throwing a quick glance over her shoulder before pushing at the wolf's chest, forcing them farther away from the young child at the counter.
"Why would she feel guilty?"
The wolf sighed, taking the brunette by the shoulders again
Neither of them noticing the intense glare being thrown at him from across the room.
"To Valkyrie's in Valhalla, it is considered condemnation for Valkyrie's with mates to abandon them, even if it's not intentionally or forever...Kenzi, Tamsin loved you, she still loves you somewhere in there, I promise."
"You don't know that..." The brunette crossed her arms over her chest, feeling a bit vulnerable. "B-but her memories, they will come back eventually right?"
The wolf decided to ignore, that question. "My second theorybeing that Valkyrie's are very possessive, especially when their young, when they're reborn they should remember their mates but it is not rare that they don't remember them, even if their bound to remember them later."
Kenzi looked up hopefully, eyes shining. "So, she will eventually remember then?"
"Yes." The wolf grinned.
"Yes!" On impulse the brunette excitedly jumped into the shifters arms, hugging him.
"Woah! No need to get too excited-"
A low growl reached the wolf's ears, just in time as his eyes widened and a loud whizzing sound passed his sensitive ears, hitting behind him.
Kenzi froze eyes also widened. "Dyson..." The brunette slowly let go of the wolf's embrace, still staring in surprise at the knife embedded in the wall behind them, Dyson also shocked, turning around to take a look at it.
The knife was so close, the wolf knew that if the Valkyrie had just thrown it two more inches to the right, it what of sliced his head open.
Both participants turned around, just as the young Tamsin's feet touched the floor.
The Valkyrie's eyes burning intensely into the shifter's, she lowly growled at him. "Back. Off, wolf." The blonde trudged over closer to the two before roughly pushing past the wolf, knocking him back a few inches despite her small image. "Watch it, loser." And with that she strolls away and into the living room, with human and wolf watching.
Kenzi's heart lifts and flutters as a small smile crept onto her face. "You know those two theories you were talking about?"
"Yeah?"
"Dyson, I'm willing to bet on the latter, I think she remembers me, wether if it's of her mate, friend, girlfriend, or all three."
The wolf huffed before chuckling. "Yeah, no kidding. The way she just almost killed me, makes such pretty obvious...though through the way she was acting, you'd think she thought I had a thing for you in her last life cycle...wait, did she?"
Biting her lip, the brunette's eyes trailed over anywhere but the wolf. "If you mean did she threaten to castrate and decapitate you every time you got a little to close for comfort, then yeah she did."
The shifter smirked. "So I guess I didn't have to tell you how possessive Valkyrie's were, then?"
"Not really, no."
-(Ten Minutes Later)-
"So...that's all you remember?"
Nodding, the Valkyrie kicked her feet up on the couch, tucking her hands behind her head. "Yeah, dude. I said that like two seconds ago. I don't remember anything else...now if you'll excuse me." The blonde consciously, pushed at the wolf's legs so he could move from in front of the TV, using the remote to change the channel.
Dyson looked utterly annoyed and staring down at the blonde munchkin, Kenzi smirked. "Maybe she's a little more clone-y then I thought."
"Tamsin come on, we need you to cooperate so I can-"
"I don't know anything! I already said so, all I know is that you're here with my mate and I-"
"Wait, say that again?"
"What, again?"
Dyson gave the adolescent a pointed look. "What you just said, the mate thing."
The Valkyrie's eyebrows furrowed, sitting up Indian style against the couch. "My mate...Kenzi, you know the one standing right next to you?"
Kenzi couldn't stifle her inaudible gasp at this point. "You remember me?"
The Valkyrie's gaze transfixed on the brunette also hovering above her. "Yeah, of course I remember you. I was in love with you...well I am still in love with you, even if I don't understand-wha!"
Kenzi snatched the little blonde off the couch, lifting her in the air to hug her close. "Oh my god, Dyson she remembers me." the leggy brunette held the Valkyrie in front of her grinning. "You remember me." she placed a numerous kisses on the blonde's cheeks, excitedly.
"Woah." The Valkyrie gently pushed back at the human, forcing Kenzi to drop her back on the couch. "Yes, yes. I remember you but please, no more cheek kisses." The blonde countlessly wiped at her cheeks with the long sleeves of her shirt. "Girls have cooties."
Dyson couldn't help but snorting at the comment. "Hate to tell it to ya kid but that's actually your favorite subject...besides Kenzi."
Kenzi could see the Valkyrie's cheeks reddening by the second and smiled softly at the blushing Valkyrie.
The blonde took one look at Kenzi before her gaze landed on the grinning wolf beside her, she scowled. "Shut up, wolf boy."
Dyson let out a laughing howl shamelessly, crossing his arms over his chest. "Make me, Valkyrie girl."
The reborn growled dangerously, standing up on the couch and narrowing her eyes.
"Okay! And that is your cue. Come on, D-man I'll walk you out, something tells me ten year old Valkyrie's don't throw as many trivial temper tantrums as normal adolescents, and I'd like to keep the roof on this place so..." The brunette pointed towards the front door.
"What? You're kicking me out?"
"Sorry, Dyson but I just have this...tingling feeling that you're not the fittest for er...babysitting normal ten year olds, I don't even wanna know how you handle ten year old Valkyrie's."
Dyson's eyebrows furrowed as Kenzi pushed him towards the door and out of the living room.
The wolf paused by the archway of the front door. "What? And you are?" he snorted, looking over the brunette's shoulder to see the Valkyrie jumping wildly up and down on Bo and Kenzi's couch. "Really?" He directed at the adolescent who had seemed to hear him and turned around sticking her tongue out.
Kenzi scoffed at Dyson's childlike attitude when it came to the little blonde. "Oh, believe me. This." She'd gestured to her body. "Does not do babysitting...but watch this." The brunette turned around, snapping her fingers, getting the attention of the jumping ten year old. "Tamsin, sit."
Dyson gaped as the Valkyrie frowned but almost immediately sat back down, with no restraint.
Kenzi smirked smugly, turning back to the gaping wolf.
"How'd you...?"
The brunette only shrugged, opening up the door for the shifter. "Goodbye, Dyson." She sing-songed.
The shifter shook his head as stepped outside of the door, the door closing behind him.
"Kenzi has power over a Valkyrie, and Tamsin nonetheless...God help us all."
-/-/-(Two Hours Later)-/-/-
"Come on, Bo. This is the last time I let that Succubus use my hairbrush." Kenzi grumbled frustratedly, searching the brunette's room, distraughtly for her 'necessity' item.
The Valkyrie sitting on the huge bed couldn't help herself. "So...do you have a boyfriend?"
Kenzi's movements paused and hesitated for half a second before going back to looking for her hairbrush. "Nyet, kid. I'm claimed. The fae way and the relationship way, for that matter."
The young Valkyrie nodded thoughtfully, hopping off the bed and taking in her surroundings.
"Right, I claimed her after that Succubus...Bo! Unclaimed her, she gave me the right to claim her because we were mates." The blonde thought happily that she'd remember'd, her and Kenzi had just spent the last hour trying to retrace her memories.
"Why do you ask kid?"
Kenzi's voice cuts through the Valkyrie's thoughts.
The blonde considered changing the subject. "No reason." She walked up to the Succubus's stand, looking into it when a thought came to mind.
"Who's...Hale? Do you think he's cute?" The Valkyrie asked honestly innocent.
This time, Kenzi fully turned around to lean against her best friend's dresser, furrowing her eyebrows. "Kid, exactly how much do you...remember about me?"
Little Tamsin went over every memory in her head. "Well, my memories are only of you but I remember...you're my mate, I claimed you, from what you told me Bo's your best friend and...the rest are just scattered memories of us."
Kenzi frowned. "So you don't remember that were-"
"She's just a kid, Kenzi. She doesn't understand yet."
The reborn's eyebrows rose. "We're...what?"
"Nothing." The leggy brunette turned back around to busy herself and clearing her throat nervously, she started. "Nothing...we were um...close friends."
The brunette felt saddened enter her heart as she remembered what Tamsin had told her when they'd first started dating.
"Kenzi...I know what I just said is a lot, so I'll leave it you. I just want you to know that us being mates has nothing to do with my feelings for you, I love you Kenzi, mates or no mates, I would still always love you, but choosing me is your choice...being mates doesn't automatically make you bound to me forever, if you choose not to choose me, I'll still be bound to you, but you won't be bound to me, I swear."
Kenzi sighed. "She'll remember eventually, I just have to be patient-"
"What's a condom?"
The leggy brunette's eyes widened turning around to see the young Valkyrie holding up a whole strip of condoms.
Kenzi inwardly groaned. "Bo-Bo..."
"Okay, no, no, no, no, no." The human rushed over to the reborn, taking the offending item.
"You gotta..." The brunette trailed off as the blonde ran across the room from her sight. "Hey!"
The blonde across the room started opening up Bo's draw of weapons.
[Creaking]
"Hey hey hey, sharp objects! Not for you." Kenzi shut the draw, pulling the Valkyrie away from it. The brunette sighed, leveling with the small child. "Look, this is Bo's room. Bo only."
The Valkyrie started to shake unnaturally and Kenzi leaned back up, crossing her arms over her chest worriedly.
"What is going on? Why are you vibrating? Is it a Valkyrie thing?"
The blonde's head shook. "I have to pee."
"Oh!" Kenzi's eyes widened. "I don't need to, like, be there for that, do I?"
"Full grown Tamsin won't ever let me live it down."
"No!" Little Tamsin looked utterly offended.
Kenzi gaped, narrowing her eyes. "Well okay, go on then!"
"Thank you!" The blonde treaded noisily to the bathroom.
Kenzi shook her head, letting out a frustrated overzealous loud groan getting it echoed back to her from the adolescent child out of the room.
The brunette shook her head, going back to looking for her hairbrush in the Succubus's room.
"I cannot believe, that was our first fight as a couple." Muttered the Russian-speaking woman, unnervingly before grinning from ear to ear.
"Я определенно не давая ей жить этот вниз, маленького Tamsin, таких дива, кто бы мог догадаться."
"God, I love that Valkyrie..."
