Hey guys thanks to all the people that read the first chapter of this fanfic, hope you like the idea behind it. I didn't expect to already post another chapter. Mostly because I have two exams this week and even if today I got ridd of the first one I'd should be studying right now. Instead as soon as I got home I started writing. Sooo I leave you to the second while I'll go drowning in books! Yay college! Btw I'm dying to know what you think about it, so if you're up to leave a comment, I'll accept the negative ones too, enjoy!
Chapter #2
-Am I hallucinating?-asked Chloe hiding behind the couch.
-Look at what you did! You just traumatized my roommate!-
If only Chloe wouldn't had been there I'd gone full-on-valkyrie on Bo's ass.
-It's ok I'll handle it-replied Bo walking towards her.
-Do not dare to touch her!-I threatened putting myself between the two of them.
-How are you going to explain this whole thing then?-
-With the truth..-
I didn't give her the time to replay and I turned to face Chloe. She was trembling and climbing onto the couch with a scared look.
-So...I lied to you. My real name is Dagny and this creature hovering behind me is Bo Dennis. How's that possible? Those are characters from LG and Dagny didn't look as hot as you do-I imitated what could have possibly been her reaction. Bo sighed in disapproval but didn't say anything.-Yeah I know-I replied to myself with a smirk.
-It's been ten years from the day Tamsin died.-I continued now more serious than ever-..in these years the story of the happy sunshine gang spread around the fae world. And you know Vex, how could he missed an opportunity like that? He decided to make a living out of it and created the TV Show. The story has been told exactly how it happened. Oh well a couple of things have been changed, like those unbearable scenes in which Tamsin appeared as a whining baby and great and bloody battles have been really summoned up to leave space to feelings, love, ships and, of course, sex...oh and that whole welcome to the club thing at the end of tonight ep...yeah so not happened that way...are you following me?-
Chloe had a blank look on her face. She had stopped climbing the couch like it was the Everest and now she was just standing there paralyzed.
-And I'm the one traumatizing people-commented Bo.
-If it wasn't for you we'd just be here watching Netflix and chilling-I said without even turn to look at her.
-Oooh she's that kind of roommate-
-I'm gonna murder you-I stated clenching my jaw.
-Chloe, right? Are you ok?-asked Bo ignoring me.
-I...how many times can you faint before just slip into a coma?-
-No do not faint again. Ok maybe you just need sugar...food always help-
I handed her a chocolate bar. Slowly she took it but instead of eating she just stared at the damn thing.
-Oh c'mon it's not that big of a deal! Think of it as if someone did a show about your life and, you know, told no one it's a real life story...well plus the whole supernatural thing- I said faking a reassuring smile.
-You know I can see when you're fake-smiling me right? Ok, I don't know when I'm going to be ok with this...for now I prefer to think that I'm dreaming so I'm gonna play along with it-she said starting to eat.
-Well it's progress...I think-
-So something among the zillion things in my head is not clear-
-Shoot!-shouted Bo while sitting right next to her on the couch.
-No no no...not ready to talk to you, I'm gonna pretend you do not exist for now, no offense-said Chloe tensed by the succubus presence.
-I'm so okay with that-I replied now smiling for real.
-Offense not taken sweetie-said Bo quietly moving from the couch and sitting on a table far enough not to scare Chloe but close enough to listen to the conversation.
-Ok my first question besides what the actual fuck!? is: do the real Succu-team play itself on the show? Cause the person not-existing-right-now is identical to the Bo Dennis I've always saw on TV-
-Well that's a good question and I'm about to make your mind blow a little more. So Vex choose himself the actors but couldn't stand their differences from the ones in real life...and it was then that he had an awful idea. He found himself a very special cast, made of faes whose ability is to change their appearance in whoever they want, even if for a very short amount of time. Depends on how good they are. They're called Mystics.-
Her eyes were suddenly brighten by a crazy fangirl look.
-Like Myst..-
-Yeah like Mystica from the X-men, I knew you we're gonna say that-
-Ok...then you're not really Tamsin's Dagny right? I mean, that wasn't your face on the TV-she said almost relieved by it. I knew what she was thinking yay my roommate is normal.
Sorry dude I'm not.
-About that...I convinced the girl who was going to play me not to do it with my face-
-I've always wondered...she was really excited about the role, how exactly did you convince her not to appear with your face, Dagny?-intervened Bo with a suspicious look.
-Oh you know...telling her I was gonna cut hers off if she did-I smirked.
Instead of scolding me Bo just stared at me with a strange look. A look I knew very well and that I had almost forgot.
-Stop-
-Stop what?-
-Doing that thing with your eyes-I said annoyed.
-What thing?-
The you-so-remind-me-of-your-mom thing.
-Oh my God!-shouted Chloe out of the blue giving me the chance not to answer Bo's question.
-What now?-
-If this is all real...Tamsin...she's really dead-
I did not know how to react to the desperation in her face. As if it wasn't my mother who died but hers. That was the reason I hated Vex for what he did. Why did other people get to share my pain? Tamsin was my family. Not theirs. Still, a part of me was grateful to Lost Girl. I'd never admitted to anyone but seeing her live on the screen gave me something. A chance to know her some how, but then every time I realized what that meant I also felt alone. The most alone creature in the planet and that question always insinuated in my thoughts. Why? Why did she want to die? It didn't make sense to me. And the only two logical answers I had found were both horrible. The first was the one that drove me away from Bo and the rest of the gang, even Kenzi. When I looked at them I couldn't help but wonder. What if they lie to me? What if they let her die without even try to save her? Deep down I knew I didn't really believe that but the alternative was too unbearable to even let myself consider it for a second. What if my mother didn't...
-I'll get you a glass of water-I stated forcing me not to think about her anymore. Or not to think at all.
-I'm sorry Dagny-said Chloe with an almost tearful tone.
At those words I stopped just before leaving the room.
-Tequila it is-I mumbled walking away.
And of course there was no Tequila and the best I got was Soda. I hated Soda so I just returned to the original plan and poured some water in two glasses. Bo can get it herself if she's thirsty I thought wishing we'd never answered the doorbell.
-What the fuck? I told you to stay away!-I shouted entering the living room and seeing Chloe collapsed on the couch.
-She's just sleeping-
-Yeah she just fell asleep in the six seconds it took me to come back-I said with sarcasm.
-It was too much for her, better if she sleeps it off a little while...plus I wanna to talk to you, alone-
-Well too bad you were just about to leave and never come back into my life again-
-Dagny, please this is serious-
-Believe me, I'm not joking-I said drinking the glass of water and hoping it was Tequila.
-I have to talk to you about...Hades-
I almost suffocated on the water hearing that name. I knew who he was, I knew what he did.
-Not interested-
Did she find out? About what I was planning? I should have known Mark couldn't be trusted.
-There is a rumor going around, I mean more than a rumor...that Hades is looking for you and has ordered to his minions to find you and bring you to him. I know piratically nobody knows how you look like but that mark on your chest and your powers...you need to hide-
I started the rumor Bo I wanted to say but if I did, it would all have been for nothing.
-That's funny-
-What? How is that funny to you?-
-You came all the way here just to tell me to hide? What do you think I've been doing?-
-Hiding yes but from us! You can't be alone anymore, not with this threat...let us help you-
-Cause you are so great at helping-I spit out putting the glass down before I threw it at the wall.
-Actually yes we are...or at least we are good at trying-
-When you bother trying-
-Why would you say that? What have we done that is so unforgivable to you?-
-You watched my mother died without doing anything to stop it! Does that sound enough unforgivable to you?-I snapped with all the rage that I had.
I was standing on my feet now, I almost didn't realize I got up when I exploded at Bo. She was looking at me with one of the saddest expression I ever saw on her face. I never yelled at her like that, not even the day I left. I just left. With no tearful goodbye. And now seeing her staring at me in that way and replaying the things I'd just said I immediately felt the guilt in my stomach. But I couldn't show it, not to her. So I run out in the freezing night and never looked back.
Nine years ago at the Dahl.
-Beer me up-I shouted out to D-man.
-Not happening, short stuff! You gotta wait a lil while longer for that-said Kenz patting me on the head.
-Fuu..-
-For that too!-she shushed me putting her hand on my mouth.
-You know, if someone didn't say those things in the first place you wouldn't need to shush her-intervened the doctor.
-But I'd still have to shush you, muggle!-replied Kenz giving me the high five.
I laugh even if I didn't completely got it. Mostly because of the face Lauren made after those words.
-Lauren is right, you should watch your language in front of the baby-said uncle D polishing a mug behind the counter.
-I'm not a baby. I'm almost four months old, thank you-I replied with proud.
At those words everybody stared at me and gave me that strange look. Kenzi's eyes turned watery and she suddenly hugged me so tight I was barely able to breath. Only later I knew that was something my mom said on her last life. And it was then that I decided I wouldn't just cry over it as everybody else. I would have done something. I would have saved her.
