AU: I don't own Lost Girl. Updates will come as my muse dictates. 2/10/14 a few reviewers mentioned they had a difficult time with reading the dialogue due to the spacing. Let me know if this is better.

Chapter 1: Little Miss Sunshine

When Bo stumbled into the Dal with Kenzi in the middle of Tamsin and Dyson's tryst her concern for her best friend helped her compartmentalize the betrayal and hurt she felt towards the wolf and the valkyrie. Only Kenzi mattered and it was her distress coming off in waves that put her situation with the Una Mens, Rainer, Dyson, Lauren, and Tamsin in the back burner. As Dyson and Tamsin put their clothes on with eyes averted Bo helped Kenzi downstairs to Trick's study and gently lays her on the couch. She was still hiccupping and breathing in slights gasps as if she were drowning. By the time Dyson and Tamsin made it down the stairs Trick was already there speaking to Bo. A few minutes later and Bo was tilting Kenzi's head back and coaxing the human to drink a concoction that Trick put together that quickly put the human to sleep.

As Bo weaved the story of what had happened Tamsin's face turned white and her expression looked pinched. She quietly excused herself and went to look for her mentor Acacia.

Dyson howled forlornly and tried to rush out of the Dal to hunt the druid when Bo grabbed him by the collar and said, "He is mine." Dyson slowly nodded his head.

"Will you stay with her Trick?" Bo asked.

"Of course Bo." Trick said as he covered Kenzi with a blanket. He had grown to love the human and all her quirks.

"I'll keep her safe until you return." He said.

The hunt was short; the druid hadn't bothered to cover up his tracks and was being held in a make shift cell in the Dal. The first thing Bo did was to take the twig and return it to Kenzi. Bo silently placed the sword Massimo had used to slay Hale into Kenzi's hand.

"If I do this I'll be no better than him." Kenzi said as she stared at the sword in her hands.

"I can't Bo." Kenzi whispered dropping the sword and hugging her best friend tightly.

"I understand." Bo said as she stroked Kenzi's hair. She looked over at Dyson who nodded to her and drove Kenzi and the Valykrie back to the shack.

"She may not be able to, but I can." Bo said as she opened Massimo's cell.

"You can't." Massimo cried out desperately.

"You're light fae everybody knows that." He said as he slowly backed away from the succubus whose eyes had turned blue.

"Oh honey, you've been gone awhile. I'm dark now." Bo smiled as she shut the cell behind her.

Trick turned around and left leaving his granddaughter and the druid alone.

The Dal was closed for a week. Although inhuman screams could be heard from the basement no cops ever showed up to investigate. She would torture him to within an inch of his life and then revive him with chi only to do it again. It was endless. Something in Bo had shattered when she saw her best friend clinging to Hale's lifeless body. Her accusations had cut her to the bone and although they never spoke about it outwardly every time she looked at her best friend she could hear them echoing in her ears. When Tamsin had mentioned to Kenzi what Bo had been doing she confronted her.

"Please tell me it's not true Bo Bo?" Kenzi asked her one night when her best friend came home late once again. Bo schooled her features before she answered Kenzi but she could always see into her heart.

"I want you to stop. This isn't you. You don't hurt people on purpose." Kenzi begged her.

Ever since that night Bo had embraced her darkness. It scared her at first, but it was a part of her nature a nature she still struggled with on a daily basis. She had run away from that part of her life for 10 years before she found Kenzi. Kenzi who had accepted her warts and all.

"For you I will." Bo said she hugged her.

As for Massimo, Trick contacted a necromancer to return him to the grave. Rainer was nowhere to be found.

Everyone continued to walk eggshells around each other; it was painful to watch. Kenzi was no longer care free; her eyes were shadowed and her laugh a little less loud these days. Dyson and Tamsin continued to be partners but they never spoke about what happened that night in the Dal. And Bo, she kept her distance from them. When they did run into each other it was with an unnatural politeness and stilted inane conversations about the weather. Bo and Kenzi decided to leave the crack shake and moved into an abandoned warehouse on the other side of town. Life was moving on but the people affected by Hale's death seemed to be just existing and it was putting a strain on every relationship.

"Bo can we get out of here?" Kenzi asked one day as she lay on the couch resting her head on Bo's lap as she absentmindedly played with her hair.

"Just for a little while. I feel like I can't breathe. Everything reminds me of him." Kenzi said.

She had not been sleeping well often prone to waking up in the middle of the night screaming. It had happened so many times that she ended up sleeping in the succubus' bed while she held her until the nightmares had passed.

"Sure Kenzi." Bo said.

As they said their goodbyes to Trick at the Dal they ran into Dyson and Tamsin.

"Going somewhere short stuff?" Tamsin said to Kenzi a she eyed the duffel bag draped over her shoulder.

"Just for a little siesta." Kenzi said.

"Do you want to come?" she said, little did she know of what had gone down between her best friend, her Valkyrie daughter, and the wolf. Bo's expression never wavered.

It was Dyson who blinked a little too quickly that signaled that something was off with those three.

"Am I missing something?" Kenzi asked looking over at Dyson who looked poleaxed.

Trick looked over at Bo with a look of understanding, but he didn't interfere when Bo silently shook her head.

"So what do you say Tam Tam? You're unaligned, right. You haven't pledged yourself to Evony or to Trickster?" Kenzi said with a hopeful look in her eye, a look Bo hadn't seen in weeks.

"Yeah, why don't you come with us?" Bo said.

"Go ahead partner I'll hold down the fort." Dyson said.

"So it's decided then. Sugar tits and Valkubitch let's Thelma and Louise this shit." Kenzi said enthusiastically.
