Chapter Three

Bo hadn't wanted to be alone that night, she didn't want Dyson or Lauren, she wanted Tamsin. She needed Tamsin. As much as Lauren and Dyson had tried to comfort Bo since Kenzi died, they didn't quite get it, Tamsin got it. Tamsin had been the first person that Bo had actually broken down in front of, the others had seen her crying, but not like she had with the Valkyrie. One minute she was holding it together, then next she was in pieces. Instead of Tamsin just sitting there, keeping her distance, she had pulled Bo into a hug. The Succubus had forgotten how safe she felt in Tamsin's arms, it was like nothing in the world could harm her.

That night, as Bo slept next to her, Tamsin dreamt.

At first she didn't know where she was, it took her a while to see the shields and other weaponry that made up the walls of the hall she was in. It had been a while since Tamsin had set foot in the Great Halls of Valhalla. As she stood there looking around her, trying to figure out why she was there now of all times, she heard a voice behind her.

"Hey Lil T…" the voice said.

"Kenzi…" Tamsin said, turning to face the girl she had missed so much.

Kenzi just smiled at her a little.

"How you doing?" she asked.

"Not too good…" Tamsin replied honestly.

"It wasn't your fault Tamsin." Kenzi said.

"Yes it…" Tamsin started to say.

"No it wasn't," Kenzi said, interrupting her, "it was my choice to make. You have all done so much for me, saved my ass more times than I can remember, it was my turn… You guys were my life… it was my choice to give my life to save yours, and everyone else's…"

"Bo has this mad crazy idea of coming here to rescue you…" Tamsin said, looking at the floor.

"You can't let her," Kenzi said, "and you need to get her to stop looking for ways to do it. I don't need rescuing T…"

"Figured," Tamsin said, "there's none-stop alcohol flowing in this place."

Kenzi laughed a little as Tamsin smiled at her.

"There isn't any other way anyway," Tamsin said, "you think I didn't look…"

"Just get her to stop." Kenzi said.

"There isn't another way, is there?" Tamsin asked.

"I don't need rescuing Tamsin…" Kenzi repeated.

"Kenzi, is there another way?" Tamsin asked.

Kenzi just smiled a little.

"Let me go Tamsin." Kenzi said.

Tamsin started to wake up.

"I'll find out what it is…" Tamsin said.

"Let me go," Kenzi repeated, "live your life, that's what I want you to do, please, just live…"

Tamsin sat bolt upright in bed, it took a few seconds to remember where she was, and who's bed she was in.

"You okay?" Bo asked, sitting up next to her.

"Yeah…" Tamsin said, "Weird dream…"

"About Kenzi…?" Bo asked.

"Yeah…" Tamsin replied, lying back down, looking up at the top of Bo's bed, crossing her arms across her stomach.

"I haven't dreamt about her yet…" Bo said.

"That was the first time…" Tamsin said, "But I don't think it was a dream…"

"What do you mean?" Bo asked.

"I was in Valhalla…" Tamsin said, "Valkyrie's can be called there when they are asleep… it's rare but it happens…"

"So you actually saw Kenzi." Bo said.

"She wants you to stop looking for ways to rescue her," Tamsin said, "apparently she doesn't need rescuing… what she said also made me think there is another way to get her back, so I don't have to lose you too… I'm going to talk to Trick about it later…"

"There isn't another way T," Bo said, "you said it yourself, the prophecy must remain fulfilled, which means I'd be the only life to trade…"

"There has to be another way…" Tamsin said, still looking at the top of the bed.

Bo didn't say anything else, she simply lay there watching as the moonlight danced across the features on Tamsin's face as the Valkyrie was in full thought about another way to get Kenzi back from Valhalla. Bo knew she shouldn't keep it from her, knowing that one way or another Tamsin would find out what it was, but she couldn't tell her. She knew the moment she told Tamsin that she could get Kenzi back by giving her own life as a trade, Tamsin would be gone.

Tamsin suddenly got out of bed.

"Where are you going Tamsin?" Bo asked as the Valkyrie threw on her jeans.

"I need to talk to Acacia…" Tamsin said, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it'll work."

"And you think Acacia is going to tell you after what happened the last time you saw her?" Bo asked.

"She calls me out on my shit all the time," Tamsin said, "I was just returning the favour…"

"Its 5am Tamsin," Bo said, "she'll probably be asleep anyway."

"She's on the other side of the country," Tamsin said, "she'll be awake… I'm not going to see her, I'm just going to call her."

"And you needed to get dressed to do that?" Bo asked with a little smile.

"Dude, it's 5am, it's cold, and D-man is asleep on the sofa," Tamsin said with a smile of her own, "he's good but I don't want to give him the wrong idea, if you know what I mean."

Bo laughed a little.

"Good point." Bo replied.

"Plus, who could resist this, right?" Tamsin asked with a smirk.

"I thought you were going to get your phone." Bo replied, still smiling.

Tamsin laughed as she walked down the stairs to get her phone.

Tamsin paced back and forth in the kitchen area of the Clubhouse as she waited for Acacia to answer the phone.

"Come on you old bitch," Tamsin said quietly, "answer the phone…"

"What do you want Tamsin?" Acacia asked as she answered the phone.

"Am I right in thinking that a Valkyrie can give her life to retrieve a soul from Valhalla?" Tamsin asked, getting straight to the point.

"You call me up to ask me if you kill yourself will it bring Kenzi back." Acacia asked, "Don't be a fucking idiot Tamsin."

"When I was young, I remember you telling me about a Valkyrie who was made human in exchange for getting her lovers soul back after she took him to Valhalla," Tamsin said, "and the other story about a Valkyrie on her last life who gave her life to retrieve the soul of her lover… it's possible, right?"

"Tamsin," Acacia said, "those Valkyrie's had bonded with their lovers, I know you and the human were close, but you weren't that close… just let her go kid."

"Why does everyone keep telling me to let her go," Tamsin said, "she told me, now you're telling me…"

"She told you?" Acacia asked.

"In my dream," Tamsin said, "she called me to Valhalla… or someone did… she told me to get Bo to stop trying to find a way to rescue her and she also told me to let her go…"

"So do what she wants," Acacia said, "and stop this suicidal quest to make yourself feel better. You're going soft Tamsin, love will get you killed."

"Yeah…" Tamsin replied.

"Is that it?" Acacia asked.

"Yeah." Tamsin said, "That's it…"

Tamsin hung up the phone, she made her way back upstairs without realising that Dyson was lying awake on the sofa, having heard the whole conversation Tamsin had just had with Acacia. He needed to get the idea out of Tamsin's head, he wasn't going to let her kill herself. Kenzi wouldn't want that, she'd want Tamsin to move on and find happiness.

When Bo woke the following morning the sun was streaming through the windows, she realised pretty quickly that she was alone in the bed, she looked over at the side that Tamsin had slept on and she saw a note on the table.

Gone to see Trick, I have a few questions that he'll have the answers to, be back later Succubus. T

Bo quickly got out of bed, got dressed then went downstairs to see if Dyson was still there. He was.

"Where's Tamsin?" Bo asked.

"I thought she was upstairs with you." Dyson said.

"No," Bo said, "she left a note saying she was going to see Trick…"

"She knows…" Dyson said, "I heard her on the phone to Acacia last night, asking her about a Valkyrie giving up her life to retrieve a soul."

"We need to get to the Dal." Bo said.

The pair headed for the door, Dyson grabbing his jacket on the way out, when they got outside they saw that the tires had been slashed on Dyson's car. If they were going to get to the Dal they were going to have to walk.

"Does Bo know you're here?" Trick asked as he poured Tamsin a drink.

"Nope," Tamsin replied, "well she will do if she's awake…"

"And Dyson?" Trick asked.

"If Bo knows, he'll know," Tamsin said, "he crashed at the Clubhouse last night."

"So we're probably going to be interrupted." Trick said.

"Not any time soon," Tamsin said, "they have no transport."

"What is it that you want to know Tamsin?" Trick asked.

"When I was younger I heard stories about Valkyrie's retrieving souls from Valhalla," Tamsin said, "taking them back… it's happened twice that I know of… one Valkyrie choosing to become human, the other giving her life… is it possible?"

"I don't know," Trick said, "I'm not an expert on Valkyrie's, have you asked…"

"Acacia?" Tamsin asked, interrupting him, "yeah, she thinks I'm being an idiot."

Trick just smiled a little.

"And you agree with her…" Tamsin said.

"Kenzi made her choice Tamsin," Trick said, "she gave her life so we could all live, it was her choice to make."

"Trick, I've lived a heck of a lot longer than I ever should have," Tamsin said, "you know that better than anyone… she was just really starting her life…"

"Tamsin, you're still pretty early on in this life," Trick said, "you have a long way to go, and a lot more to do before the gates of Valhalla open for you."

"I've had my life Trick," Tamsin said, "I've been everywhere, seen everything…When I agreed that you could take Rainer's soul, it was so I could, selfishly, try to make things right… maybe this is how I can finally redeem myself…"

"I can look into it for you." Trick said.

"Thank you." Tamsin replied, "And this stays between us?"

"You have my word." Trick said.
