"Bo!? Bo? Can you hear me?" Tamsin said, frantically. She patted Bo's cheek, trying to get her to come to. After a minute Bo stirred but didn't completely come to. Tamsin heard her mumble something but couldn't make out what she was saying.

Tamsin had no idea what to do now. Bo obviously needed more help that she had realized previously. Should she take her back to her place and try to get her to feed? Or should she take her to the hospital? Fainting was a sign that Bo wasn't taking care of herself, so she probably needed to be looked at immediately.

Lauren, she could take Bo to Lauren. She would know how to help Bo or at least be able to check her over, seeing as how she was a Dr. Tamsin didn't want to be the one to tell anyone else what was going on with Bo as she had said she wouldn't but she felt she didn't have a choice anymore. Bo has chosen to not feed so Tamsin didn't really have a choice in the matter anymore.

Tamsin carefully lifted Bo into her arms, surprised by how light her friend was. She really had lost a lot of weight recently, it appeared. She was about to carry her to Lauren's on foot when she remembered that she could fly, when necessary. She spread her Valkyrie wings and flew off with Bo to Lauren's clinic.

Tamsin landed quickly 10 minutes later and almost stumbled but regained her balance as she remembered she had Bo in her arms. She didn't want to further injure the succubus. She rushed to the doors of Lauren's clinic and quickly pushed the buttons to open the automatic doors.

Lauren looked up from the paper work she was filling out when she heard the doors, surprised to see Tamsin carrying an unconscious Bo.

"Bo! What happened, Tamsin?" Lauren said, running to Tamsin's side, very worried about her girlfriend.

"Long story, but she hasn't been feeding."

"Here, put her on this bed over here," Lauren said, helping Tamsin put Bo down on a nearby bed.

Lauren set to work on Bo. First she shone a light into Bo's eyes and began to call her name.

"Bo? Can you hear me?"

She got a mumble from Bo, as she opened her eyes for a few seconds but then closed them again quickly.

She took Bo's pulse and blood pressure then ran to grab an IV pole and a bag of sugar-water. She started the IV on Bo who didn't fight her as she was still not completely with it yet.

Tamsin stood on the other side of Bo, holding her other hand and stroking it gently. After Lauren got the IV started she set the drip pace then put Bo on some oxygen as well.

"Okay Tamsin, tell me the whole story while I continue to look her over."

Tamsin started with Bo nearly collapsing on the way to get Kenzi and finished with Bo collapsing after refusing to feed again.

"So do you think she has Succubus Anorexia?" Tamsin asked.

"That would definitely explain her symptoms and behavior. I wonder how much weight she's lost and how long she's been doing this," Lauren said.

After about 30 minutes Lauren realized that Bo wasn't responding to the sugar-water as well as she'd hoped she would.

"I think what she really needs right now is to feed, Tamsin, but you said she refused to feed off of you right before she passed out. I wonder if she would feed for me. If not I think I have another way," Lauren said.

Tamsin nodded and decided to go get some fresh air for a few minutes while Lauren talked to Bo.

"Bo? Can you hear me? Its Lauren," Lauren said, trying to encourage her friend to wake up.

Bo finally opened her eyes after hearing Lauren's voice a second time. She realized she was in Lauren's clinic and wondered how she had gotten there.

"Lauren?"

"Yes, love, I'm here." Lauren could tell that Bo was confused and wondered how much she remembered before she came to.

"How did I get here?"

"Tamsin picked you up when you passed out and carried you here. Well, flew here actually. She realized that you were in danger so she got you here as quickly as she could.

"That's not possible. I'm much too heavy for her to have carried me. She weighs less than I do," Bo said, her SuccuAna clouding her mind.

"Bo, you appear to have lost a lot of weight in the past few months. I won't lie when I say i'm worried about you. Tamsin told me how weak you were earlier on the way to get Kenzi and how she had to force you to feed off of her. And then you passed out after Kenzi's rescue because you refused to feed off of her again. You do remember that you are a succubus, right? You can't just stop feeding, sweetie," Lauren said, hoping that Bo would realize how silly this was and feed from her right then so she could get better.

Bo hung her head, not wanting Lauren to know what she was doing. She also hadn't wanted Lauren to find out that she had fed from Tamsin. She had tried so hard to only feed off of Lauren the past few months after Lauren had expressed how upset she was that Bo fed off of other people instead of just her. At the beginning of their relationship, when Bo had realized she could stop feeding in time to not kill Lauren, she had begun to feed off of Lauren quite often and it had finally been too much for Lauren to physically handle. But when Bo had tried to feed off other people instead of just Lauren, Lauren had become upset. It was at that time that Bo had started feeling like she should try to feed as little as possible to please Lauren. It was around that time that she had also started to feel like she wasn't pretty enough, wasn't good enough for Lauren or anyone unless she stopped feeding so much. She had also started to eat less actual food too and had liked the way she had started losing weight. She felt much lighter and the hunger had given her a high that she had started to live for.

Bo loved Lauren and didn't want to hurt her but she couldn't stop what she was doing. She wanted to be perfect so that Lauren would love her even more. She didn't feel like she was even close to being perfect yet.

"Bo, I need you to feed for me, okay? You can feed off of me, Tamsin, Dyson, whoever you want but you have to feed and you have to feed soon...or your going to get worse. Your already very weak and vulnerable from not feeding."

Bo was shocked that Lauren wasn't mad at her for feeding off of Tamsin. Hadn't she told her months ago that she really wanted her to only feed off of her? Perhaps this was some kind of trick then. Maybe Lauren thought that if she said Bo could feed off of anyone that she actually would. Bo wasn't going to fall for it. She would not feed anymore. She couldn't.

"No, I can't. I'm sorry, Lauren," Bo said. She didn't care what anyone said, she just couldn't feed anymore. She'd gone this long without feeding, she must not need it anymore.

"Bo, you do realize you could die if you don't feed?" Lauren asked, hoping she could scare her girlfriend into cooperating.

"I don't care, Lauren. I"m not going to feed. I don't even need to be here right now, there's nothing wrong with me," Bo said, reaching down to her hand with the IV. Her intention was to rip it out of her hand but Lauren stopped her by placing a hand on top of hers, firmly but gently.

"I understand that you have no desire to feed right now but that's not going to stop me from trying to keep you alive in any way that I can. The IV is staying in and your staying here until I decide you are well enough to leave."

Bo felt that same flutter in her stomach that she had felt with Tamsin. Bo looked up at her lover, realizing that Lauren really did care about Bo, or at the very least that she wasn't going to let her go without feeding. She both loved and hated Lauren at that moment. Loved her for making her feel wanted but hated her for forcing her to do something she was trying to keep from doing in an attempt to better herself. Or at least that's what she thought she was doing.

Lauren, I..."

"What's it going to be, Bo? Are you going to feed or am I going to have to force feed you?" Lauren asked, interrupting Bo in a no-nonsense voice. She didn't want to force Bo to do something she didn't want to do but she wouldn't sit there and watch her girlfriend die.

Force feed her? How was she going to do that? She couldn't force Bo to feed off of her or anyone else. Bo had to want to. Did she have another way to force feed her? She decided that she wasn't going to feed willingly. She gritted her teeth and looked away from Lauren, despite the fact that she was very concerned about what Lauren was going to do next.

"Okay then, force feeding it is I guess," Lauren said, walking to another room to grab something.

Bo was terrified now as she realized Lauren must have somehow come up with another way to "feed" Bo. One in which Bo had little say in. She realized that she was going to have to put up a fight or face getting force fed. She had to act quickly if she was going to get out of this.

She threw off the blanket that was covering her and swung her legs over the side of the bed. Unfortunately Tamsin had walked back into the room a few moments earlier and as soon as she realized what Bo was about to do, she was at Bo's side again.

"Bo, no, you can't run now. Lauren is trying to help you get better," Tamsin said, standing so that Bo couldn't get out of the bed without Tamsin grabbing her.

"Tamsin, don't try to stop me. I told you before that I can't stop and I won't," Bo said, attempting to stand up even though Tamsin was directly in front of her. Bo had hoped she would be strong enough to push Tamsin out of the way but as soon as she was standing she felt her legs start to give out again. She was lucky that Tamsin was right in front of her because as soon as she saw Bo's legs start to give out she reached out and caught Bo under the arms. She wrapped her arms around Bo's waist supporting her weight.

That's not what Bo had wanted Tamsin to do. She had hoped that she would help her stand up and then let her go, but she should have known better.

"Tamsin, please, let me go. I don't need your help. I just want to get out of here," Bo said, despite how weak she was and the fact that she could barely stand without Tamsin holding onto her.

"Bo, I doubt you can even walk at this point. If I let go of you, your going to fall."

The Valkyrie had to fight back tears as she saw how frail Bo had become, yet how she still kept fighting to get away.

A part of Bo wanted to let Tamsin help her back into that bed and feed off of her until she felt strong and could actually walk again, but there was a voice deep inside of her that was rising to the surface of her mind. It kept telling her that she had to fight her friends or anyone else who was trying to "help" her or she would never be good enough for them. This voice told her that she had to do anything in her power to keep from feeding because feeding meant she was weak, stupid, and that she would never truly be beautiful if she didn't listen to it.

Feeling strengthened at least in her mind, Bo began to try and wiggle her way out of Tamsin's arms, hoping she could get Tamsin to let go of her. She didn't care if she could walk or not. If she couldn't walk she would crawl and if she couldn't crawl she would use her arms to slide herself across the floor until she made it to the door.

Tamsin was pretty sure that Bo was trying to get out of her grasp so that she could attempt to get away, despite being too weak to walk. She wasn't letting go of Bo no matter how hard she struggled to get away. Bo was still connected to the IV as well and if it got ripped out of her hand it could further injure the weak succubus.

"I'm not letting you go, Bo. You can fight as much as you want but I care too much about you to let you go," Tamsin told Bo, holding her tightly around the waist and pulling her closer to her body.

Bo fought for a few more minutes before she was overcome with weakness. Her knees went weak and she laid her head back against Tamsin's chest, feeling exhaustion hit her body hard. Tamsin supported Bo's weight so that she wouldn't fall to the floor but decided that it might be easier if she picked Bo up so she grabbed Bo's legs and gently lifted her up until she was cradling Bo in her arms. She looked down at Bo's face. Bo was much calmer and was staring back up at Tamsin, looking defeated.

Tamsin had the sudden urge to kiss the weak frail succubus. She was about to decide if she was going to kiss her friend when Lauren walked back into the room with the syringe full of liquid.

Lauren was a little surprised to see Tamsin cradling Bo in her arms but decided that something must have happened while she was in the other room.

"Everything okay?" Lauren asked.

"It is now. Bo tried to stand up because she was feeling a bit panicky but she was too weak to stand up yet so I caught her before she fell," Tamsin said, hoping it didn't look like more than what it was. She didn't want to take Bo away from Lauren. She realized that she had feelings for Bo that had only increased in the past few weeks but she also knew that Lauren was Bo's girlfriend and she didn't want to betray her.

Tamsin gently placed Bo back on the bed, stroking her hair before looking back over at Lauren again, waiting for what was to come next.

"When I first met Bo I decided to try and duplicate the "Feed" that she gets from other people. It took me a while to get it ready but I think I have it right. I'm not sure how much it will help her if any but if she won't feed then this is the only option we have right now," Lauren said, before moving to the side of Bo's bed where the IV was in her arm.

As soon as Bo saw Lauren coming towards her with the syringe she began to panic. She was not about to let Lauren give her something that was close to a "feed". She had gotten this far without feeding, she wasn't going to just give in that easily.

"I'm not letting you give that to me," Bo said defiantly, panic in her voice as she began to try and sit up. Unfortunately for Bo, she had Tamsin and Lauren on either side of her bed so she wasn't going to be able to get out of bed very easily.

"It's going to be okay, Bo. As soon as we get this in your IV line your going to start to feel much better. Your very weak right now and i'm sure you are feeling quite anxious. That's all a side effect of not feeding. If you let me give this to you, you will feel more like your old self again," Lauren said.

"I don't want to be my old self again! Fat, disgusting Bo, who always needed to feed off of other people!"

"Bo, do you think your fat?" Lauren asked, stopped just as she was about to push the syringe into the IV line.

"You wouldn't understand," Bo said, turning away from Lauren. She didn't want to tell anyone what was inside her head.

Lauren decided not to press Bo and that getting the "feed" into Bo was more important at the moment.

Bo didn't realize that Lauren had started to push the plunger into the IV line until she felt the syringe being withdrawn from the IV.

She looked at it in panic as she saw the empty syringe.

"What did you do? I told you that I can't feed! Your ruining everything!" Bo said, now furious with her girlfriend.

She did began to feel her body strengthening quite a bit but she also felt as if her body was turning ugly and fat as well. She had to get away so she could burn off the feed that Lauren had given her.

Bo began to plot how she was going to get out of Lauren's clinic. She decided to calm down and act as if everything was okay and the minute there was no one by her side she was going to yank out her IV and run.

Lauren noticed that Bo seemed calmer but wondered if it was just an act she was putting on. She left Bo with Tamsin next to her while she went to dispose of the syringe.

"Are you feeling better, Bo?" Tamsin asked, taking a seat next to her friend, feeling a tad worn out herself from the exhausting day.

"Yeah, I am. But I'm incredibly thirsty all of a sudden. Like crazy thirsty. Do you think you could get me some water?" Bo asked, realizing she didn't have much time before Lauren would be back. If she could get Tamsin to leave her side as well, she could make a run for it.

"Sure thing Bo," Tamsin said, smiling at her friend before getting up to grab her some water. She realized later that she probably should have seen what was coming. Bo had been way to calm after receiving her feed.

As soon as Tamsin turned to go get some water, Bo placed her hand under the blanket and ripped out the IV. She barely felt it come out. She watched as her body responded to the "feed" and healed the prick in her hand before it had a chance to bleed. Then she threw the blanket off and made a quiet run for the doors of the clinic. She was out the sliding glass doors in seconds and began to run as fast as she could, away from the clinic.
