Bo's POV
"Hey BoBo, since we finished today's job off, extremely well might I add. What do you say we go celebrate and drink our way through Tricksters booze?" My best friend ladies and gentlemen!
"Sure thing kenz, lets go get our drink on!"
God I'm so hungry. Being like this for Lauren, living off of just her, It's killing me. But I love her and she asked me to try. So for her I'm trying.
"Hey trickster, 2 beers please!" While kenzi gets the drinks I look around the place. Not as busy as I thought it would be, Dyson and the Valkyrie are playing pool again, we don't see much of Hale now he's the Ash. Although everything for the light is improving so I guess he is hard at work. Lauren should be here later. Lauren, we went through a rough patch, she thought we were drifting apart. Which is why I'm so hungry right now, to prove my love to her. The sexual energy in this place isn't helping though, my senses are in overdrive and I feel kinda ...
Kenzi's POV
I heard a thud and when I turned around I went straight into panic mode
"Oh my god BO!"
"Dyson get her downstairs, everybody else bars closed, get out!" Trick was screaming and scrambling. I knew something was wrong, I know my best friend, but every time I asked her about it she would just brush the question off and tell me she was fine! Obviously she has been lying to me. But come on, I mean i see things people don't realise I actually see. I'm with Bo practically 24/7, I know what Lauren has been asking her to do and I know Bo has been doing if for the last 3 weeks and its killing her!
"Trick is she going to be okay?"
"Not now kenzi!"
"Trick, I need to know she is going to be okay!"
"Yes . . . I think so! I don't know kenzi, but I just called Lauren, she should be here any minute and we will be able to find out what's going on."
I didn't say what I wanted to say. I knew what was going on, I know she is starving and if Lauren even tries to go near Bo, Geraldine will taste some blood. She put my bestie in danger because she is insecure and jealous!
"Trick I'm here, what's going on? Where is she?"
"On the sofa."
"Oh my god, okay I'm going to check her over and see what's wrong."
Is she serious!
"Doc, I'm not being funny or anything, but if you go anywhere near my bestie you will regret it!"
"Kenzi don't be ridiculous, Lauren is here to help now move out of her way."
"No"
"Kenzi!"
"Trick I said no, and I mean NO! Bo wouldn't even need help if it wasn't for the good old Doc here, would she Lauren?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You're human, just like me. You know fae, so you should have known asking Bo to not have sex and feed with anyone but you would cause this to happen Lauren!"
I'm so mad right now, I'd like to see someone stop me.
"That doesn't matter right now kenzi, now of you'll excuse me . . ." BANG! If you didn't see it you definitely heard it because I punched her straight in the face and she fell down to the floor with a bang.
"I said if you ever tried to touch her after what you have done you would regret it, how does the regret feel Doc?"
"Okay short stack, I think you've made your point. Come on."
Ahh. Tamsin, the only person here that's strong enough to actually drag me away considering the horrified looks on both Trick and Dyson!
"Tamsin, take her to the back room to calm down, and Lauren you better leave."
"But."
"NO! Trying to change the nature of any fae, let alone a sex demon for your own stupid, selfish, jealous and insecure reasons is murder and you know it, now leave Lauren!"
And that's the last thing I heard Trick practically shout at the Doc before Tamsin shut the door.
Tamsin's POV
It's been 2 days and Bo still hasn't woken up. Trick gave her a few shots of chi he had left over from when his wife was alive. It's what her body has been feeding on while it fully recovers in the Coma she's in from near starvation. I can't believe the good doctor was such a bitch. Kenzi hasn't left Bo's side and neither had Trick and Dyson until they both went of to do something a little while ago. I can't work without my partner so here I am, sat next to a midget goth and an unconscious succubus. Actually Trick asked me to stay around after the incident yesterday. The morrigan sent one of her steroid using buffoons to kill a succubus in a coma. And people say I'm a heartless cow, I would at least have gave the succubus a fighting chance. Truth be told though, the happy sunshine gang is kind of like my family now, me and Kenzi are tight, her and Hale get tight, if you know what I mean. Dyson is still a love sick puppy but I doubt I could do anything about that. And Trick is just like one big grandfather to all of us even though me and trick are as old as each other and older than any of us can actually remember. We're a kind of dysfunctional family.
Lauren tries to come and see Bo everyday and every time she does she barely gets in the bar before Kenzi sees her and givers her this ice cold stare. I know that stare, I'm pretty sure I invented and taught her that stare.
"Tams?"
"Kenz."
"3 weeks Bo has been pretty much starving herself other than Lauren's pathetic excuse for chi, so when she wakes up she will drain anyone in her path until she's not hungry anymore. I over heard Trick and Dyson talking when you all thought I was sleeping. They think she's going to end up killing somebody unless they find somebody with enough power to withstand a starved succubus."
"Kenz, I know where you're going with this, stop."
"Tamsin, Trick won't suggest it because in some ways he is scared of you just as much as you and everybody who knows what he is, is scared if him. You are a Valkyrie, all of the left over energy from all of the souls you have taken to Valhalla, that's what Bo needs, you're what Bo needs. And your the only one I can trust! I don't want her to have more death on her conscious and neither do you considering you know how it feels."
"If I do this Kenz, I'm doing it for you and Bo. Other than that we are not to talk about it or act like I'm some mother fucking hero. I'm the bad guy Kenz, so if I do this don't pretend it makes me good!"
"Officer Slamsin, you have my word."
"Lauren should be arriving anytime soon to receive that ice cold stare you have mastered so well, so I say we go and take our seats at the bar and get a drink."
As if right in Que. Lauren walked through those doors. But today Kenzi didn't look up and stare at her, she didn't move. They both just kept still in their positions.
"Kenzi I, I came to, to make sure she's okay?"
"NO! No Lauren you came to make sure you didn't kill her."
Lauren didn't respond and I'm still trying to figure out how Kenzi is going to react and play this. My reactions are fast but Kenzi's anger is something that terrified Trick and Dyson the other day so I have to be careful. Lauren's face is black and blue from Kenzi's fist to her face but Kenzi barely has a scratch on her.
"Kenzi, I, I."
"Why Lauren?"
"I didn't, . . . I should have."
"Oh you see, I know why, maybe you should think real careful about how you tell these guys though."
"Kenzi?" Lauren is practically pleading with Kenzi right now.
"Don't Lauren. She loved you, heck if she survives this she probably still will, although I hope not. She loved you! You weren't drifting apart, you were, you were doing what every couple does. You were going through a rough patch. If anyone of the two of you were to doubt the love in your relationship if should have been Bo. You used her when the Ash told you to, you left her after she helped free your ex from the Ash' spell! I could go on. But despite all of that Bo loved you. How could you be so stupid? To make her starve herself for your benefit!"
"I, I! Kenzi please I."
"Leave Lauren, GET OUT!"
That was intense.
"You okay shortstack?"
"Peachy."
"Want to go and check in you bestie while Trick and Dyson aren't down there?"
"Ha, yeah. Since its the only time I will have alone with her." "I will be down in ten."
I need to shake off what just happened. Being a Valkyrie, I'm surrounded by death. So intense and cold I can deal with. But when it comes from a bubbly midget I call a sister we are starting to have some serious problems. It's not right, it should be an option for Kenzi to feel and act that way, and yet here she is being so UnKenzi like it scares me a little.
"How is she doing Tamsin."
"She's Kenzi without Bo, I don't think she is ever going to be fully okay without her Bestie. But I've got my eye in her. In the mean time, what are you two up to?"
"There is talk of an underfae attacking and killing high schoolers going around. Dyson wanted my help in an identification of some sort."
"Well if you need my help, you let me know wolf boy, you know where to find me. I'm going to check on our little thief to make sure she's okay."
With a nod to the blood king and my partner I went down to the Lair to check on Kenzi.
