I do not own Lost Girl, or anything about it. Yep, and you know it. Hope this first chapter goes well, let me know what you think. I will be moving based on reviews quite a bit. Love forever to all! =]

Chapter 1

It was a seemingly normal day as the succubus stirred from her slumber and groaned. Her mind slowly took hold of everything that had happened in recent days and she let herself lie there for a second before processing the fact that Kenzi was actually gone. Not gone forever, though. That was the one thought that kept her steady in her fight.

It was not a secret that Kenzi was the one that held Bo together and kept her down to earth with everything she faced. Now that Kenzi had been taken to Valhalla, it felt more like life was a dream. She had given up the constant sobbing, but that didn't seem to lessen the ache she felt for her best friend's passing. Not gone forever.

She finally decided to get up and put on some appropriate attire before heading to the Dal to see what new challenges awaited her and the rest of the gang. As she strolled out the door, there was a pinch in her nerves as she tried to subside the anger in her system that had swelled in the moments after seeing Kenzi's face right as she went up in gold lighting. Not gone forever. The constant reminder to herself to not let the anger overtake her and to keep a level head in figuring out just how to get her best friend back to her was the only real peace she had left.

As Bo walked into the Dal, her attention was immediately focused to the bar, where Trick was polishing glasses. She strolled over and sat across from him on a stool as she asked, "Hey Trick, how are you?"

He smiled lightly and responded in kind, "I'm doing well, how is my darling granddaughter?"

Bo smiled in return, "I am doing alright, just continuing to try and think of ways to get Kenzi back. Have you seen anyone else lately?"

"Dyson was in here this morning before he went to work, just to check in and let me know there had been no progress on his end. He also mentioned that he hasn't seen or heard from Tamsin since he brought her back from the gateway."

"I'm sure she is recuperating to full bitch level before she decides to come out of hiding." She paused for a moment, coming to the realization that might have been a little harsh on the valkyrie. "I mean, I'm sure she is okay and just trying to process everything that happened. I wish I knew more about why she told Dyson not to look for the Hel shoe, though."

"Well, I expect that she will come around and inform us of the details when she is ready. There isn't much else we can do on that front right now."

"I just want to start working on getting Kenzi back home." Not gone forever.

"We are doing everything we can at this point, have you been able to follow any leads to uncover any new clues as to how we can even begin to formulate an idea of how to do so?"

"Nothing concrete so far, but I will never give up. Not on Kenzi." Bo stated with a renewed vigor.

Right about that moment, the door to the Dal swung open and in walked a very familiar blonde. Bo and Trick were busy in conversation and didn't think much of it until she plopped down on a stool at the other end of the bar and slammed her hands down. Trick looked up first, and his only reaction was wide eyes. Bo, on the other hand, spun around in her stool and stared intently at the valkyrie that had been missing for weeks. She finally decided it best to say something so proceeded to cautiously speak to the blonde, "Hey Tamsin, where have you been? Are you-"

Tamsin cut Bo off by lifting her head and sticking her hand up to effectively shush her. She then raised an eyebrow, "Well, well, if it isn't everyone's favorite succubus checking in on me. How adorable. I almost feel like giving you a hug and telling you how perfect I am. Or maybe I don't." With that, she turned on her stool to face the back wall and, in doing so, motioned for Trick to get her a drink.

Trick gave Bo a confused look and went to wait on Tamsin. Bo was now feeling a little pissed at the valkyrie's rudeness and decided to confront her with a little less politeness. She got up and proceeded her way down to where the blonde was sitting and sat down on the stool beside her. With a little less than pleasant look, she continued, "Well, glad to see your time away from us different affect your lovely attitude. What's got you being more intolerable than normal?"

Tamsin looked at Bo out of the corner of her eye, slowly turning her stool to face her. "Just leave it and me alone. Get everyone together. We need to talk about some things."

Bo raised her eyebrows with a confused tilt of her head at the blonde's sudden change in demeanor. She responded after a few moments, "Get everyone together? Do you realize how long you have been gone? It's been weeks, Tamsin. Can you at least tell me where you have been?"

Tamsin turned and gulped down a large swig of the whiskey in front of her. She sat looking at the glass for a minute or two before she finally spoke back, "Bo, just get everyone together and I will explain some things. I just needed time to sort it all out, can we leave it at that for now? I'm already tired of talking and you haven't even fulfilled my first request of just getting everyone here. Ugh…. I need more liquor already." She turned to Trick and he obliged by refilling her glass.

Bo called the gang and about 30 minutes later, everyone had shown up and were gathered in Trick's den. Trick had closed the bar after Bo excused herself for the calls, and Tamsin gave herself privilege to the rest of the bottle of whiskey Trick had been filling her glass from. Everyone was sitting quietly, waiting for the valkyrie to give her explanation. After in the neighborhood of six good gulps, Tamsin finally looked up and began to speak.

"SO, I have spent the time since 'the event' to put together the pieces of what happened while I was in Valhalla. There is much we need to discuss… it all begins and ends, with Bo."
