I have been away forever! So sorry! I have been so busy with school and different ventures that I just haven't had time to write. I've missed all of you so much though. I really hope you enjoy this new story. I can't promise you it will be very long, but I can promise it will be interesting. Thanks for staying faithful!
This story is not really AU, but it sort of ventures away from the actual story-line. It is simply my take on what happens after the season finale, had to write something, couldn't hold back.
Hope you guys like it!
Chapter 1
Dyson was unconscious, he thought he was anyway. He knew he wasn't awake, maybe he was dead. The last thing he remembered was the large black truck flying off the side of the cliff. His head was swimming, he couldn't feel anything, but he knew he was not awake. He needed to wake up, wake up damn it! He shook himself, trying to wake up, trying harder than he'd ever tried for anything in his life. He had to wake up.
Kenzi's hands gripped the wheel of the too fast, too beautiful car. It was just her style, the perfect fit for someone like her. Her fingers ran across the smooth leather seat softly. She'd gotten herself a car like this once before, a nice, sleek, red, convertible, it had been less than a year old when she'd made her way into it, quickly disabled the alarm, and hotwired it. The car had driven like a dream, but at the time she was only 14, she drove way to fast and took a curve to hard, she'd ended up in a ditch with a bleeding forehead. After her arrest she'd done a small stint in juvi and then been released. Of course she'd stolen other cars, just none as fancy and hot as the convertible, to easy to get caught with those flashy cars. But this wasn't stolen, Bruce had the keys to it, and he'd placed them ever so carelessly in her hands. Oh she loved this car. She pressed harder on the gas and the car flew up the hill and around the curve.
"Take this turn." Bruce said pointing, his large muscled arm blocking her view.
"Bruce, steroid arm, in my way." She said slapping at it. He quickly jerked away and frowned at her.
"I don't take steroids Kenzi. I was born this way." He said. Kenzi's eyes widened drastically.
"Your poor mother." She said. Bruce rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Not just like this Kenzi. I mean I was born to be large, my mother and father are ogres." He said.
"Aren't you supposed to be green, with little horn things for ears?" Kenzi asked as she took the turn sharply. The wheels skidded and Bruce braced himself against the door.
"I'm not Shrek." He said. Kenzi smirked and shrugged as they came up on the side of a cliff.
"Are you sure that Druid lives this way?" she asked glancing at Bruce. He nodded and continued to look out the front glass.
"I've been to his house several times with the Morrigan." He said. Kenzi nodded and a sharp pain ran through her side. Her foot lifted and slammed onto the brake, the sleek car slid to a halt, tires screeching, as it spun sideways. Kenzi gasped for air and pressed a hand to her ribcage as it cried out once more and then stopped. Bruce looked at her and frowned.
"What's wrong?" he asked hurriedly. She shook her head, her long hair falling into her eyes.
"I don't know." she said as the pain went away and her breathing returned to normal. She looked at Bruce.
"You didn't feel that?" she asked. He shook his head slowly and looked at her as if she were insane.
Dyson's consciousness slammed back into him with an intense pain. He cried out as he peeled his eyes open. His head was on fire, pain burning through him. His side cried out in extreme pain as he moved slightly. Don't move, he said to himself. He looked around, he was upside down, half his body lying on the roof of the upside down truck, the other half still seated, albeit, turned in the seat. His back ached intensely from where it lay on the ground, he felt pain everywhere, but he knew he needed to move. He moved his head, glancing backward at the busted out window. He turned his head the other way, and had to clench his eyes closed at the pain.
"Damn it." he mumbled as he opened them again. Tamsin was laying much like he was. There was a large gash across her forehead, and her left arm was at an awkward angle.
"Tamsin." He grumbled. She didn't move.
"Tamsin!" he said louder, his body was taken over by a fit of coughs, the dirt and dust from the crash had settled in his lungs. But coughing hurt, it hurt like hell. Tamsin moved, her brow crinkling slightly.
"That's it, wake up, come on Tamsin." He said loudly. She opened her eyes, and blinked several times. A moan escaped her lips as she moved her head slightly.
"Tamsin." Dyson said softer. She looked at him and pursed her lips.
"What happened?" she asked slowly.
"Man in the suit, you ran him over, we ran off the cliff." He said. She nodded along with his words, seeming to realize what had happened.
"Sorry I dragged you down with me." she said.
"Save it for after we get out of this." he said as he began to cough again.
"I'm just going to sleep ok." she said.
"No, no, stay awake Tamsin, come on." He was fighting a losing battle, her eyes were closed already. He had to get out of here. He jerked his lower half down onto the roof.
"Ahhh!" he screamed as he felt something inside him shift. He gasped for breath as pain shot through him. He moved quickly again, trying to get it over with as quickly as possible, he shoved himself out the broken window. A piece of glass cut across his back and pain ran through his side again.
"Damn it!" he cried out and looked down as he freed himself of the truck. A large shard of glass was embedded deep into his side, it had ripped down when he'd moved twice now, and he was bleeding, a lot. His head pounded hard against his skull and his vision spotted, black dots appearing. He knew he was close to passing out, but he fought it, he tried his hardest, his whole body burning with pain, until finally, he couldn't fight anymore, and the darkness washed over him.
Kenzi shook her head and cut off the car, she climbed out of the vehicle to catch her breath. She heard Bruce climb out as she dragged in breath after breath. Finally she was feeling ok.
"Better?" Bruce asked. Kenzi nodded and stood up straight and a sound caught her ears. A sizzling sound, as if water was spraying lightly on the ground, or running through a stream, it kind of sounded like a car or truck winding down. She pursed her lips and out of pure curiosity she peered over the side of the cliff. The sight below her was something out of a horror movie. A large black truck lay on its roof, crumbled, and sizzling, but next to the truck, his feet still inside, was Dyson. Her heart leapt to her throat and she felt like someone had punched her in the stomach. She ran forward as fast as her feet would carry her to a less steep part of the cliff.
"DYSON!" she screamed with everything inside her. Bruce fumbled behind her and rushed around the car. She found a part that was more like a hill and she kicked it into overdrive, her feet racing down the hill, teetering on too high heels.
"DYSON!" she screeched again, her heart pounded in her chest, it felt like it might explode as she reached the bottom and turned toward them. She could hear Bruce behind her as she ran toward the truck. She dropped down next to Dyson and hissed as the glass below cut her knees and legs. She didn't care though.
"Dyson, Dyson." she said his name over and over, her hands ran over him. She spotted the large piece of glass protruding from his side.
"Kenzi? What's going on?" Bruce asked running up behind her.
"It's Dyson, he's hurt. Call someone!" Kenzi said.
"Who?" Bruce asked. Kenzi ran through a list, Lauren was gone, she didn't have a clue where Bo was, or Hale, or even Trick. The Morrigan said he was dead, but she didn't believe it. He couldn't be.
"I…I don't know." Kenzi said shaking her head.
"Dyson, come on, wake up, I need you to wake up." she said softly, she ran her hand across his forehead.
"Kenzi." Her name left his lips, barely a whisper, but she heard it.
"Yeah it's me, wake up Dyson, come on." She said.
"Kenzi, someone else is in the truck." Bruce said. Kenzi panicked. Please don't be Bo, please don't be Bo. She ducked down, peering through the door.
"Tamsin." She said hurriedly, "Help her out Bruce, check her over." she said. She half hoped it would have been Bo, at least then she'd know where she was. Kenzi heard Bruce getting Tamsin out as Dyson's eyes blinked.
"Hey, hey." Kenzi said carefully, putting her hands on his face.
"There you are." He smiled up at her. Kenzi smiled, despite the situation, as he repeated the words he'd said the day they'd found her and rescued her from Inari.
"Yeah, it's me. You're safe, I'm going to help you guys." She said.
"Bruce do you remember seeing anything else up there?" Kenzi asked.
"Gas station." He said. A light blinked on in Kenzi's head.
"Stay here, don't move." Kenzi said.
"Bruce, keep an eye on them." she said as she jumped up. She ran back toward the hill and rushed up it as fast as she could, her shoes hit the pavement and her heel broke.
"Damn it!" she yelled as she flung the pair of fabulous shoes into the dirt. The pavement was hot on her feet as she ran toward the old store a few yards away. She was used to being barefoot, she'd been that way before, like when she first left her home. She approached the station and her heart sank as she realized it was closed. But then her heart soared as she spotted the old truck. It had some dust on the windshield, but no growth around it, and it looked to be recently driven. She ran to it and jerked the door handle. It was locked, which meant it was someone's, which meant it might have gas in it. She looked around the store and she smiled when she spotted a tire iron.
"Oh I love you back country roads." She said as she grabbed it up. She reared back and slammed the iron into the window. It shattered to her immense pleasure and she jerked the lock up and ripped the door open. She looked for an extra key, but didn't have time to search. She dropped down and ripped the bottom of the steering column open.
"Ok, time to put your skills to work Kenzi." She said to herself as she pulled the wires down. Her fingers slid over the wires as she pulled down the two she needed.
"I've still got it." she said as she touched them together. The truck sputtered and then roared to life and she sank down into the seat, jerking it into drive. She checked the gas and looked up.
"I know we don't talk much, but right now, I adore you man." She said as the tank showed half full. She pulled up along the hill and hopped out. She ran back down the hill and was at Bruce's side quickly. He'd gotten Tamsin out of the car, she was blinking up at the sky.
"Get her up to the truck." Kenzi said pointing. Bruce nodded and lifted Tamsin into his arms. Kenzi knew there was no way they could squeeze the two injured bodies into the tiny two seated sports car. She would return the truck eventually, but right now she needed it.
"Sorry." Bruce said softly as Tamsin protested the movement. Kenzi hurried back to Dyson.
"Kenzi to the rescue." Dyson grinned at her through bleary eyes.
"As usual, I swear you Fae can't do spit." She said softly. Dyson chuckled but coughed quickly and grimaced in pain.
"Shh, calm down, you're going to be fine. I need to get this out ok?" she said looking down at the piece of glass. It had already ripped up his side, pulling it out wouldn't cause any more damage than had already been done. Kenzi grabbed the buttons on her oh so perfect jacket and ripped it open. She pulled it off her shoulders leaving her in a black, silky, strapless, blouse.
"Ok, bear with me." she said as she wrapped the jacket around the piece of glass. She gritted her teeth and jerked, pulling the glass free of his side.
"AHHHHH!" he screamed and jerked hard as she tossed the bloodied glass to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." She said quickly as she balled up the jacket and pressed it hard to the bleeding wound. He ground his teeth and moaned as she applied pressure.
"Tamsin is in the truck." Bruce said coming back up behind her.
"Ok, let's get him up." Kenzi said.
"Dyson." Kenzi said grabbing one of his hands while her other hand stayed on her balled up jacket.
"Put pressure on this, keep the jacket on it ok?" she said lifting his hand and placing it over hers. She removed her hand and he pressed down.
"Alright, here we go." Kenzi said nodding and moving away. Bruce grunted as he dipped down and lifted the heavy Dyson up. Dyson moaned, his wounds were irritated but Bruce took off, going up the hill at a swift pace considering. Kenzi was right on his heels as the rushed toward the truck. Kenzi climbed behind the wheel as Bruce laid Dyson out in the backseat. Tamsin was in the front, sitting up, her seat reclined slightly. Kenzi didn't see any wounds on the woman, but she wasn't sure what was going on inside.
"Follow me." Kenzi said. Bruce nodded and climbed behind the wheel of the Morrigan's car as Kenzi hit the gas and flew off, racing toward the Clubhouse.
