"Bo. Bo stop", Lauren called out.
"Bo! Lauren screamed as loudly as she could. The succubus didn't hear her or simply walked out with Tamsin walking beside her.
Lauren was laid out bleeding from the many cuts Taft had inflicted on her when he returned to the operating room. Dyson had come by and noticed that Lauren was injured but he had his orders from Bo to kill Taft. He left Lauren hoping Bo would be by shortly to help her.
A succubus did come. But it wasn't Bo. It was Aife.
"Hey? Hey are you alright?
"Taft stabbed me several times. My injuries don't appear life threatening but I need to be treated", Lauren mumbled.
"You're a doctor right? Aife asked.
"Yes I am. Can you get me to the Dal? Trick has supplies to wrap my injuries" Lauren said.
Aifes eyes widened.
"I can take you to the Dal", she said.
"You're Bo's mother right? Lauren asked.
"Yes and I will take you to Trick right now. Can you walk?
"I'm not sure that I can", Lauren mumbled again.
Aife left her for a few minutes and found a wheelchair.
"What's your name? Aife asked.
"I'm Dr. Lewis".
Aife finally remembered seeing Lauren talk to Dyson but she didn't actually talk to the doctor herself.
"Well Dr. Lewis, let's get you out of here. You look like shit and I need a beer or two.
Bo, Tamsin and Dyson had gone to the Dal for drinks. It had been a long day and they needed to relax a bit.
Trick was busy serving other customers before he came over to them.
"What will it be guys? Shots or should I just bring a bottle and glasses?
"Both", they chanted in unison.
Dyson kept looking at Bo, she seemed so calm for someone who's lover had been left for dead at Taft's.
"Bo?
"Dyson, it's been a long day. I don't want any drama from you tonight", Bo replied.
Tamsin laughed "Shot down by a succubus".
Trick had returned and while he was setting the glasses down he dropped the bottle in horror.
"Aife!
Aife was walking in cradling Lauren in her arms.
"Lauren! Bo shouted.
Lauren was still dazed but managed to lift her head.
"I don't know where they took her".
That sentence rang out in Lauren's mind.
"No Bo. Stay away from me. You left me for dead. Even after I saved your favorite wolf junk and your makeout girlfriend is here with you", Lauren said pointing at Dyson and Tamsin.
"Lauren! Lauren you're hurt let me help", cried Bo.
"No Bo", Lauren said a little bit bolder than the first time.
"Lauren I can help you. Please let me", said Bo
Lauren was injured and highly annoyed. She looked up to Aife.
"Take me downstairs, that's where he keeps his healing supplies", Said Lauren.
Trick was hurrying with drink orders and nodded for Aife to proceed downstairs.
As Aife walked past Bo and the gang, Bo called out to Lauren one last time. "Lauren please".
Aife's eyes turned blue as she turned back towards Bo. "Stay away Isabeau. You left us both back there. The doctor needs to be treated and I need to rest".
Dyson started to growl thinking she had just threatened Bo.
"Oh I am not at all scared of you wolf boy. Don't you dare shift on me", she bristled before proceeding downstairs.
"What the actual Fae was that? Bo asked settling back on the bar stool and pouring another shot.
"Umm that was your mom and your ex..gf..., I can never remember what you two are", laughed Tamsin.
"I thought my mother was dying errr dead", said Bo.
"Well apparently she fed off of someone", said Dyson.
"She better not have fed off of Lauren", Bo snapped.
"Bo please you fed off of Lauren before", Dyson said.
"Yes to save you", she said with a sexy smirk.
"Bo! Said Dyson
"What?
"Stop flirting this is serious! Said Dyson
"This is bullshit. I'm going down there", Said Bo standing up heading for the stairs.
"Not another step Isabeau", said Aife standing on the bottom step.
"Mom I have a right to see Lauren", Said Bo.
"Well she doesn't want to see you".
"Who made you her guardian?
"You did when you left her for dead", snapped Aife.
"I didn't know Mom".
"Did you look?
"Well no Tamsin-
"Just as I thought. Look Bo I understand being a succubus myself but on the way over here the doctor kept calling out your name thinking I was you in the drivers seat. She obviously has you on the brain but she is in pain now and daddy is treating her wounds", Said Aife.
"Just let me see her. I can explain all of it".
"She has said no more than once Bo. Now please go back upstairs", Said Aife.
"Fine", said Bo as her eyes started to water.
"Damn! Said Bo slamming her hands on the bar top.
"Didn't see her huh? Asked Dyson.
"Down there? No".
"I meant at Tafts", Said Dyson.
"What? You saw her?
"Yes I saw her crawling on the floor. Taft had just run out of the door and you ordered me to kill him so I did. I figured you would be by to help Lauren but it appears you didn't even care to look for her", Said Dyson.
"Well we ran into the operating room and didn't see anyone. Then Tamsin snapped and I had to fight her off", said Bo.
"I don't know where they took her:
"Shit! Had Lauren heard her say that? Bo asked herself.
"Hold up", said Bo looking at Tamsin.
"What did Lauren mean by makeout girlfriend?
"Bo I-
"You didn't!
"I told her about the kiss and that you didn't feed off of me", Tamsin said shyly.
"Fuck. Fuck Fuck. Damn it Tamsin", Bo snapped.
"What? It's not my fault you lie to your gf...ex..", Tamsin said.
"But you had no right to tell her about that. No wonder she broke up with me. And by the way you kissed me! snapped Bo.
"Bo..."said Dyson.
"Dyson don't".
"Bo you put all of us and the Dawning before Lauren. One little kiss wouldn't doom you guys", Said Dyson.
"It wasn't my fault all of those damn pre-tests", snapped Bo.
"And your escapades coming here for drinks", said Kenzi walking in.
"Aww Kenzi, don't you start too", Bo laughed.
"What? It's true. You were here the night the Doc was getting her ass kicked. Had I not said anything you would've been throwing back many shots. Speaking of which. Where is the Trickster? Kenzi asked.
"Lauren was stabbed so he's downstairs with Mom tending to Lauren's wounds", Said Bo.
"Holy shitballs. Did you say mom Bo?
"Yep here in the flesh".
Aife had walked up to get a drink. "Damn she has some gruesome injuries. I should know being hundreds of years old", She said as she rounded the bar.
"Is she calling for me? Bo asked.
"No. Daddy's almost done wrapping her injuries. He said he will be up as soon as he's finished and she's stable", Said Aife.
Aife headed back towards the stairs. She heard footprints behind her and said "No Isabeau", over her shoulder.
"I am not buying this shit. Lauren has never not wanted to see me, whether she was injured or not", Said Bo.
"Aife?
"Daddy?
"You know you're like Bo. You can heal Lauren, if you want", Said Trick.
"What? Heal her?
"Yes. You can blow chi into her and the wounds will heal", he said.
"Ummm I think I need to feed first. Will you stay with her a few minutes? She asked me more than once to keep Bo and the rest of the scooby gang away from her", said Aife.
"I will but be quick about it. I don't want to risk her wounds getting infected", said Trick.
Aife took a side exit out of the Dal so she wouldn't have to deal with Bo again. She found a few people in the alley and got her super succubus fix on.
"How long have they been down there? Bo asked.
"A couple of hours", Dyson replied.
"Lauren has to be awake and better by now. I'm going down there", said Bo.
Just as Bo was about to take the first step. Trick appeared.
"She ok?
"She's resting Bo. Let her sleep for a bit", he said.
"Lauren I'm so sorry and I love you", Bo shouted down the stairs.
She went back to her barstool.
Aife was standing outside the Dal.
"Ready Doctor?
"Yep. Let's go".
Bo couldn't take the not knowing anymore. She stormed downstairs.
"Lauren! I know you don't want to see me-
"Lauren? Lauren?
The medical equipment and bandages were scattered on the floor. The sheets on the couch looked like something happened that Bo didn't expect Lauren to do in Trick's lair.
She ran back upstairs.
"They're gone!
"What? asked a stunned Trick.
"Mom and Lauren are both gone".
"How is that possible?
"They must have used my trap door exit", Trick said
Bo was devastated. "Lauren is so mad at me, that she left with my mother?
What are you going to do Bo? Kenzi asked.
"Get her back", bristled the succubus in full throat.
