A/N: So, it seems that I made a crucial error when posting this story. I could've sworn that I selected the character pairings. But for some reason they weren't showing. I have fixed that now, so thank you for those that mentioned it otherwise I never would have caught on. Sorry for that. And to the ones that ask, yes this is a Doccubus story, all of my stories are, they may have a few bumps along the way but they definitely are.

Happy reading!

Chapter 3: Catch Me

Unknown Location

Corey was taking his tactics up to the next level. He knew that Lauren and Tamsin wouldn't give up the location of the girl. So he was taking another approach. While the two captives were asleep, which didn't take long considering they were tired, dehydrated and starving.

He injected them with a little something just to keep them out for a little while longer, just enough to let him do his work. Lauren was first, he had his men bring her into another room. Laying her on a table in the centre of it.

Before he could even begin his little procedure, the door to his left swung open. "What did I say about knocking?" He closed his eyes with a sigh, this was why he preferred working alone. It was less hassle.

"I'm sorry. But this couldn't wait…" A young man spoke, walking forward as he saw his leader getting ready to inject something into the slumbering blonde on the table. "… I don't think that you're going to need that anymore" he stopped him.

Corey turned around, he had a plan to inject Lauren and Tamsin with a tracking node. Then he was going to let them go, but not easily. He was going to let them get the upper hand on him, to let them think that they'd escaped within an inch of their lives. He thought that it was rather smart. Clearly, his little brother had other plans. "And why not?"

"Because I've found the girl…" The boy smiled, "… We monitored all transportation from their house in Virginia. We questioned a few train conductors, but the one that gave us the tip was a bus driver. He was on a long haul from Virginia to Toronto"

"Speak plainly Dean! Did she get on this bus or not?" Corey hated it when people dragged out a conversation.

Dean nodded. "Yes she did. After a good beating, the driver sang like a canary. He said that the last place that he saw her, was the house of the Unaligned Succubus"

Corey looked down to Lauren's unconscious form, smirking. He should've known that she would send the girl there. He actually judged himself for not figuring it out sooner. "Then the Doctor was right. The girl is well protected. Not many go up against that Succubus and live to tell about it" he sighed. This was a problem.

"Maybe not alone. But with the right amount of people, I believe that we can overpower her. Then we take the girl, and deliver her as planned. It's just one Succubus, can she really take down the lot of us?" Dean didn't see it.

"We shall see…" Corey put his tools away, he didn't need them now. "… Put her back the way that she was. We don't need her now" he ordered, before leaving the room.

The Dahl (Next Day)

Getting Shay out of the house this morning, was not easy. Bo honestly didn't know how Lauren did it. The girl just didn't want to wake up. But when she did. Bo had her get dressed and then drove her down to the Dahl. Where she had a very special surprise breakfast waiting for her.

Bo thought of throwing a party, but without guests it would just be really sad. So she opted for a large breakfast, with all of the trimmings. Obviously, she didn't know exactly what a Shay liked. But Bo was relying on her maternal instinct, which for some reason was growing stronger by the minute.

They walked up to the front door of the Dahl, and Shay was still moaning. "I don't understand why I couldn't have had some cereal before we left. What's the big deal about this bar anyway?" She was starving, and Bo ushered her out of the house before she could eat anything.

"Trust me kid, after we get inside. Cereal will be a distant memory…" Bo smiled, leading her inside of the building. The Succubus had Dyson pick up Shay's birthday present, she had paid online for a brand new Playstation Four, and asked for the gift wrapping option. All he had to do was go and get it.

At first she didn't know what to get her for a gift, but then Shay was playing on Kenzi's old console last night. So Bo's decision was simple.

When they stepped into the bar, Shay was almost defended by two people yelling 'SURPRISE!'. She jumped back for a second, then realised what was going on. They had thrown her a birthday breakfast. She looked over the table a few feet away from her, there was Pancakes, Waffles, Eggs, Bacon. Her yummiest fantasy was coming to life.

"Wow!" The girl let out, turning to the older brunette behind her. "You did this for me? Why?" She didn't understand. Bo barely knew her, and yet she had gone to all of this trouble.

Bo touched her shoulder. "… Because I promised you that you'd have a fun Birthday while your Mom wasn't here. And I wanted to make good on it. Happy Birthday Shay" she smiled bright.

Shay couldn't help it, she just jumped into the woman's arms. Hugging her tight. So tight, that Bo had no choice but to hold on. This was so strange, and yet. Felt so right. "I love it, thank you" the girl whispered.

That was enough to almost make Bo break, her tears were so close to falling. But now wasn't the time. This was Shay's day. "You're very welcome. Come on, let's eat!" She clapped her hands, walking over to the table.

Trick was looking at Shay totally different now, especially now that he knew that she was his Great Granddaughter. Bo had called him last night to tell him, he didn't believe it at first. But then Dyson also confirmed it. He was shocked, but he knew that from the moment that he met the young girl. That she was familiar. This was why.

"Happy Birthday, I hope that you are a fan of everything here" he chuckled, looking over the spread of food.

Shay nodded with a wide smile. "Oh yeah, I'm a big fan on everything here! Thanks for doing this! I know that you don't know me that well—" she was cut off when Trick placed a hand on her arm.

"You're family now Shay, and there's nothing that we wouldn't do for you" he gave her a wink. That wasn't completely revealing. After all, Lauren was family before she left. And Shay was her daughter.

"Wow. You guys are like super cool! Why the heck did my Mom wanna leave this place?" Shay honestly couldn't fathom why her Mother would leave these people, they were literally bending over backwards to make her happy. Seemed like a sweet deal.

No one answered her after that question. So Shay just looked over the table again, but then something else caught her eye. In the shape of a huge gift wrapped box with a bow on top. "Is that for me?" She pointed at it.

"Sure is kiddo. Go ahead" Bo knew that she was just looking for the signal to tear it open.

Shay ran over to the end of the table, ripping off the ribbon and bow, throwing it to the floor and then going for the wrapping paper. She was like a rabid animal, trying to get to the gift inside.

Then she saw the picture on the box, "Holy Shit!" She paused when Bo cleared her throat, giving her a look, clearly she needed to use more appropriate language. "Sorry. But this is totally sick!" She jumped up and down on the spot.

"Does that mean that she doesn't like it?" Dyson whispered standing next to Bo, since when did Sick mean something good?

Shay gave him a scowl. "Dude, how old are you? Sick means awesome! I love it, thank you…" She ran over to Bo and gave her another hug. She could get used to this.

"Okay, enough with the hype. Let's get some food, I dunno about you but I'm starving" the Succubus took a seat at the table. She was loving this, spending time with her daughter. It still freaked her out to actually say that. But it was getting easier.

Of course, she knew that Shay wanted Lauren here. And Bo was going to do everything in her power to bring Lauren back to Shay. Before they started eating, she told Dyson to grab the cake from the kitchen and light the candles.

Shay's jaw dropped. The cake was massive. This was by far the best birthday ever. But she still wanted her Mom and Aunt here too. She didn't even have any words at this point. Bo sat beside her with a smile, and when Shay looked at her. There was something telling her that this woman would die for her. And she didn't know why.

Dyson placed the cake in front of her, "Make a wish" he smiled.

Shay didn't know him, or his name. But he seemed friendly, and he was cute. For an old guy. She closed her eyes, wishing for her Mother's safety and her Aunt Tamsin. She also wished for them to be found soon. She blew the flames out, sitting back in her chair as everyone clapped.

She dipped her finger into the frosting, tasting it. It was cream cheese, which strangely enough was her absolute favourite. How did they know that? More importantly, how did Bo know that? She really hoped that it was chocolate cake underneath, that was her favourite too.

"Okay…" Dyson clapped his hands. "… Let's not let this food go cold" he had skipped breakfast this morning due to the fact that he had been running around the city for his Partner. Which he was happy to do.

They all ate, laughing about various things. Dyson would tell Shay some stories about Tamsin, and Bo would tell a few about Lauren. Shay liked hearing about them, she had no idea what they were like before she was born.

Bo then cut the cake. Revealing that it was double chocolate fudge cake, which a Shay then told her was what she was hoping it to be. She had polished off three slices before she complained of being full. Bo thought it best to take her back to the Clubhouse.

Dyson offered to take the Playstation Four out to Bo's car. Since it was pretty heavy. But Shay didn't trust that he would drop it, so she followed him out to keep an eye on him.

"Are you going to tell her?" Trick blurted out, he couldn't help it. He wanted to know where Bo's head was at. "She deserves to know" he added.

"You mean like I did? That didn't change Lauren's mind, did it?" Bo didn't know what to do. She wanted to tell Shay, but then there was the fact that Shay probably wouldn't believe her.

Trick sighed, he understood her reasoning. "I know that what she did has hurt you. But for all you know, she might have a had a reason for doing it" he wanted to give Lauren the benefit of the doubt.

"Maybe, all I know is. She better have a damn good one, for why she kept my daughter away from me for all of these years" Bo didn't know that Lauren was capable of something this cold.

"What did you just say?"

Bo and Trick both turned around seeing a shocked Shay standing by the door with Dyson at her side. This was why she didn't want to talk about it here. "Shay, let me explain…" She began to approach her.

"Explain what?! I can't be your daughter, I already have a Mom! Last I checked, you were only allowed one!" The girl didn't understand what was going on, why were they saying these things.

"… You're right, you would only have one. If you were human, but you're not. And that's because of me" Bo had to explain this right, and she had to do it now.

Shay frowned. "I don't understand"

"… Remember when you told me that you're supposed to become a Succubus?" Bo watched her daughter nod. "… You get that from me. I'm a Succubus too. I know that it's hard to understand, and it doesn't make sense. But it's true, I'm your Mom too" it felt so good to get that out.

"I think I need to sit down…" Shay held her stomach, she felt like she was going to throw up. That could be from how much she ate, added with the fact that she now had another Parent. "… Where the hell have you been all of this time?!" She had to ask that.

Bo sighed, taking a seat next to her. "I never knew about you Shay, your Mom never told me. I guess, that I must have hurt her more than I thought. The point is, I would've been there if I'd known. I swear" she needed her to believe that.

But Shay didn't know what to believe. It seemed that her whole life had been a lie. Or at least, half of it. She always wondered where the other part of herself came from. And now she knew. "That's not fair…" She couldn't believe that her Mother had done this. "… On either of us" she looked at Bo.

"Life is never fair kid. But you're here now, and I promise that I will be the best Mom that I can be. And that starts with finding your Mom and Tamsin" the older Succubus nodded.

Shay couldn't even register what Bo had just told her. But more than anything, she was really mad at her Mother for keeping this from her. What could Bo have done that was so bad? "Any other extended family that I should know about? Do I have any siblings that are gonna jump out of the backroom?" She didn't know what to expect now.

Bo laughed. "Sorry, no siblings. But, you do have a Great Grandfather. Right Trick?" She smiled at her Grandfather.

The young girl looked to the smiling man. Did she mean that? Was that why she felt comfortable around him? "Really?"

Trick nodded, coming to stand beside them both. "Really, Really. Welcome to our crazy family" he chuckled.

"Whoa! This birthday has been really heavy! I got a Playstation, a Mom and a Grandpa" Shay had to let out a breath. This was all so much. Yesterday she had one Mother, now she had two and a Grandfather.

"So. How about we head back to the clubhouse? We can talk some more if you want" Bo offered, she didn't want to pressure Shay into anything. But she still wanted to know about the last fifteen years of her life that she'd missed.

Shay nodded. "I'd like that"

With that, the two brunette's left the bar.

Unknown Location

Lauren was so tired, and thirsty. She could literally drink a whole lake of water right now. She didn't know how she was even awake. Given the state that she was in, she could easily see herself staying asleep for the remainder of her time in captivity. But she couldn't sleep, because the ground was moving beneath her.

She opened her eyes, seeing that she wasn't in the same room as before. No, in fact she wasn't even chained to her chair anymore. She was sitting on the floor, with her hands and feet shackled. She blinked a couple of times, trying to wake up. She wasn't in a room at all, she was in the back of a truck.

Suddenly, she heard a noise coming from her side. She thought that it was a low growling, but she then saw that it was Tamsin. Snoring away in her ear. "Tamsin!" She nudged her.

"WHAT?!" The Valkyrie jumped up, startled by whoever yelled at her. She turned her head and squinted her eyes. "Lauren? What the hell is going on?" She looked around. "Are we in a truck?"

"Looks like it…" Lauren sighed, trying to tug at her shackles. "… Can you get free?" She asked.

Tamsin looked at her, "Seriously? Did you not learn from the chains in the chair? Of course I can't. The only way to get out of hand shackles is to break your thumbs and slide your hands out. I'm desperate, but I ain't that desperate!" She huffed.

That gave Lauren an idea. The reason that Tamsin didn't want to do that, was because she wouldn't heal fast enough. But Lauren would, thanks to her newfound Faeness. "Break my thumbs" she said.

"What?! No way! We'll find another way" Tamsin shook her head, she wasn't doing that.

Lauren turned to face her. Sticking out her shackled hands. "We don't have time to find another way Tamsin. I'll heal quickly, you know that. Come on, we have to get out of here and get to Shay!" She pleaded with her.

The Valkyrie groaned, "Fine, but you can't get mad at me for this…" She took her friend's hands, pulling on her thumbs and then twisting them. Hearing the sharp snapping noise of her bones. "… I totally felt that" she gritted her teeth.

Screaming in pain, Lauren tried to slide her hands through the shackles. It was working, but she had to pull harder. Which just made her pain worse. After a few more minutes, she got them through. Then watched her thumbs snap back into place, the pain subsided as her bones began to mend.

Lauren got to her feet, jumping to different parts of the truck. Which was difficult because they were still on the move. She almost fell over a few times. She went to the far right, seeing a tool box. Opening it, she found a few things but they wouldn't have gotten through these shackles.

Then she found a small axe. That had to work. Lauren sat back down on the floor, spreading her legs as far as the chain would allow. With all of her strength she brought the axe down, cutting the chain in half so hard that it caused a spark. "Got it!" She ran back over to Tamsin and set her free.

Tamsin got up, still feeling weak from being held imprisoned for so long. "Okay, how are we doing this?" She asked.

Lauren walked over to the back of the truck. Looking out of the door window. They were back in the city. "Do you think that we'd survive a tuck and roll?" She wondered looking at her friend.

"I don't think that we have a choice at this point, or we could just wait for them to stop at a red light" Tamsin didn't much feel like getting bruised and battered trying to jump out of a moving truck. She bruised like a peach.

As if by magic, the truck came to a stop. Was there someone looking out for them? "Now's our chance, let's go!" Lauren opened the door, jumping down onto the street. Then waited for Tamsin, the two blondes ran as fast as they could. They were free now, and they had to get to Shay.

Clubhouse (40 Minutes Later)

"So, I basically take after you then huh?" Shay said. Since they got back from the Dahl. Bo had been telling Shag every little thing about herself. It gave Shay a sense of what she might turn out like when she grows up. It was as if Shay could've lived Bo's life, they were so similar.

Bo shrugged with a chuckle. "Maybe, but I'm betting that you've got some good genes from Lauren too" she didn't doubt that.

"Let's hope that I don't take after her in the lying department" Shay turned her head away. She still didn't think that her Mother could be so heartless. But maybe she did have a reason. It better be a good one.

"Don't be too hard on her. Even though she didn't tell you the truth, I know that she loves you. How could she not?" The Succubus smiled. Lauren loved deeply, that's the way that she had always been. Bo knew in her heart that that's something that hadn't changed.

Shay frowned. "How can you be okay with what she did? Aren't you mad?" She didn't get it.

"I was…" Bo sighed. "… But, there's no point in arguing about it when she's not here to speak her own piece. When we find her, we'll talk it out. Trust me. And I will be having words with Tamsin too, and you're not to be in the room when I do" she gave a tight lipped smile.

The girl understood what she meant by that. "You're going to hurt her, aren't you?" She couldn't help her laugh.

"Oh yeah. Big time!" The Succubus nodded.

Before either brunette could say another word, they heard the closing of a car door come from outside. Actually, a bunch of them. Bo jumped up, going to one of the windows and looking outside. She saw a big black van parked outside. There was about six men surrounding the house.

"Shay, I want you to go down to the basement. And stay there until I tell you that's it's safe okay?" Bo moved to the kitchen, grabbing her gun. She also went to her weapons chest. Since becoming a detective, Bo had been storing a few firearms with her swords. Just in case.

"Why? What's happening?" The girl asked, worriedly.

Bo stood next to her. "The men that took your Mom and Tamsin, are outside right now. In about four minutes, they're going to break down that door to try and get you. But I'm not going to let them, okay?" She held her face gently.

"Okay" Shay just nodded.

The Succubus had to go for it. She kissed the top of her daughter's head, "No one is hurting you on my watch okay. Now go, like I told you. Lock the door behind you and barricade it. Go" she pointed to the basement door.

Shay did as she was told, and ran down to the basement. Locking the door behind her, and then pushing a few boxes in front of it. She was scared, but the way that Bo spoke made her feel a little better.

Like Bo predicted. The front door was kicked down with force. Four men walked in, and then another two behind them. "Ever heard of this little thing called, knocking?" She asked.

"Oh, I do apologise. But I've never really cared for pleasantries…" Corey walked in, with his posse behind him. "… I want the girl, give her to me now. Or you die" he said.

Bo held his gaze, letting out a laugh. "Wow! You got right down to the threatening! I'd love to help you out buddy, but there's no girl here. And even if there was, do you really think that I would just hand her over to you? You're smarter than that, right?" She smirked.

"Do the math Succubus. There is six of us, and one of you. How do you really think that this is going to go?" He asked.

The brunette nodded, pretending to contemplate his question. "Well, I'm not sure if this makes a difference…" She pulled out two handguns from behind her back. Aiming at them. "… I think that the amount of ammo that I have, will level the playing field"

Corey smiled. "You won't use those, you're all about preserving life"

Bo pulled the triggers, shooting two of the goons in the head. "You were saying?" Her expression turned very dark.

"Why do you even care about this girl? It's not like she's your child!" He didn't understand this, why was she protecting her?

"She is now…" Bo shot the leader in the shoulder. She saw that the three men beside him were ready to pounce. "… I wouldn't if I were you boys. Because I have plenty of my little friends to go around. Next one goes in your head, leave here now!" She ordered.

Corey groaned, holding his hand to his bleeding shoulder. He stepped forward, jerking slightly at the feeling of the bullet stuck inside of his body. "You can't protect her forever" he said.

Bo stuck the tip of her gun into his wounded shoulder, causing him to cry out. "Watch me!" She couldn't take the risk of letting them go. She needed to end this now. She pulled the trigger again. Shooting him in the same place.

Corey fell to the floor. He was in too much pain to move. His men lunged at Bo, going for any body part that they could grab. But she was too quick.

The Succubus struck one in the face with the bottom of her gun, knocking him out cold. She saw that one of the, was about to try and grab her. So she jumped back, letting her foot stay out so that he would trip over it. Which he did, falling flat on his face.

Bo dropped her guns, she missed fighting with her bare hands. Grabbing his head, she twisted it forcefully. Hearing the snap before dropping him to the floor. She moved over to the rest of them, putting a bullet through each of their heads. Then made her way over to the leader.

"Hey buddy, you're not looking so hot" she faked concern.

Corey held his shoulder. He was bleeding out, if he didn't get help soon. Then he would definitely be dead. "There are more of us! And we will hunt that thing, until the elders have her head on a platter!" He laughed in her face.

"How about I just give them yours?" She unloaded another round into his skull. No one was taking her daughter from her. Then she realised, she had killed six men. There was blood everywhere. What kind of a Mother does this? She pulled out her phone, calling Dyson. "Hey, it's me! I need you to get the cleaners down to my place now!"

"Why? Bo what's wrong?" He didn't understand why she was so frantic.

Bo rubbed her forehead. "The guys that took Lauren and Tamsin, they came to take Shay. I couldn't let them Dyson, they're dead. It looks like a blood bath in here" she sighed.

"Okay, I'll call the cleaners on the way. Don't worry Bo, everything will be fine" he hung up the phone.

The brunette got some sheets from upstairs, then covered the bodies. She had to let Shay out of the basement, but she still couldn't let her see any of this. Once she had covered every inch, she stood by the basement door. "Shay? It's okay kiddo, you can come out now" she called to her.

The door unlocked, and opened. Shay poked her head through, she couldn't help it. She fell into Bo's arms. Holding on tight. She was really scared. "Are they gone?" She rested her head on Bo's chest.

Bo wrapped her arms around her daughter. Kissing her head again. "Yeah, they're gone. You're safe now…" She whispered. "… I got you" she stroked her brown hair. That's when Bo realised, she would die before she ever let anything happen to this girl. She would protect her until the end.
