Chapter 4

A/N: I've decided to leave out any Wanderer stuff. It just wasn't going to fit into the plot. I also decided to switch to the Lost Girl perspective for a chapter or two. It will probably switch back and forth throughout. Enjoy! xoxo

Lauren

As much as Lauren wanted to run after the raid on Taft's compound, she knew she needed to explain herself to everyone. She knew the Fae were looking for her, she now understood what Dyson meant when he said this is why she could never leave the Fae. Lauren knew too much, and even though she helped Taft against her will, she would have to answer for her disloyalty. She was understandably afraid, the Fae could do so many things to hurt her, or even kill her. Just look what happened to Nadia. It still hurt her to think about Nadia; Lauren spent 5 years trying to find a cure for Nadia's mysterious disease. When it turned out that she was just cursed by the Fae.

The Fae have already done so much to ruin Lauren's life, she deserved a clean break, right? This was her chance to run and regain the life she used to have. She's done it before; she used to be Karen Beatty. All Lauren had to do was change her identity, and run as far away as possible. South America sounded like a good option, maybe Brazil or Peru.

The thought of Bo crept into Lauren's mind. She still loved her; she wanted to tell her why she did what she did. Lauren didn't have the chance at the compound. Maybe she could go see Bo before she ran. If she did, she would have to be sneaky. If she ran into any other Fae along the way, she could be captured and put on trial. She didn't want to call Bo; this is something they needed to talk about in person.

Everything just seemed so complicated in Lauren's life. She didn't want to jump to any decision without thinking it over thoroughly. At least she was safe for the moment, staying in a hotel outside city limits under an assumed name. She only left if she really needed to, and if she did, she wore a disguise. After about a week and a half at the hotel, she started to feel safer about going to see Bo. The Fae haven't found her yet, so maybe they weren't looking as hard as she thought they were. As much as Lauren loved Bo, there was no way she could get back together with her. Bo couldn't survive with just a human partner, and Lauren couldn't handle sharing Bo with anyone else. It was really a lose/lose situation. She really does need to have that talk with Bo.

Bo

Bo arrived at the Dal and called out for her grandfather, "Trick! Hey, are you here?" She yelled out for him a few more times and checked his lair. Trick was nowhere to be found. This made Bo extremely worried. With everything that is going on right now, Trick could be in danger. She started dialing Kenzi's number when Hale walked in. Before Bo could say anything Hale reassured her that Trick was safe.

"It's good that you are here Bo, we all need to talk. I talked to Dyson and Kenzi they are both on their way. I sent Trick away with Stella, that way he will be safe until we get this whole thing sorted out. I'll give you Stella's number that way you can keep in touch with him."

"Thank you so much Hale, I was so worried about him."

Hale smiled, "No problem pretty lady."

After everything that had gone on today Bo needed a drink. She went and grabbed beers for the two of them, while they waited for the rest of the team to get there.

About 5 minutes later Kenzi showed up, followed by a very large man. Bo immediately pulled her dagger out and got ready to attack the man. Bo recognized him as one of the Morrigan's hit men. Before Bo could attack him, Kenzi firmly planted herself between Bo and Bruce.

"Bobo, No! He's okay I swear, he helped me get away from the Morrigan, and he's actually a really sweet guy. His name is Bruce. We can trust him."

Seeing how calm Kenzi was and the fact that he hasn't seemed to harm her best friend in any way, Bo slowly put her dagger away, while watching Bruce out of the corner of her eye. She was wary but she could trust Kenzi, if she says they can trust him then Bo believed her.

Bo walked back around the bar to get Kenzi a beer. "Bruce, do you want a beer?"

"No, thank you, but I don't drink."

"Oh, well how about a soda?"

Bruce politely accepted the drink, just as Dyson and Tamsin walked in.

"Hey Succulet, if you're handing out free drinks, get me a vodka and the wolf man a whiskey."

Bo rolled her eyes and smirked but got her friends their drinks.

Tamsin downed hers in one gulp, and Bo knew she would keep asking for more, so Bo just put the bottle on the bar for her. This made Tamsin smile slightly, but she tried her best to hide it, but the Succubus caught her. Bo smiled back at her, which made everyone else confused but no one said anything. They all thought Bo and Tamsin hated each other. Kenzi made a point to ask Bo about it later.

"Alright, we have a lot of stuff figure out and deal with."
