Chapter 4
To Bo's surprise, the voice came from the other end of the phone was not Hale's.
It was Trick's.
" Thank Gods you are ok, Bo." Trick sounded relieved and happy, " When Hale told me they can't find you anywhere, I was worried. I almost came back for you."
" I'm fine, grandpa. Where are you? I went to the Dal couple times but didn't see you there."
" I am...in Scotland, with Stella."
" Good for you!" Bo said, " Although I wish you would have at least left a message for me on your fridge or something before you go for a honey moon."
" Not exactly what you are thinking, Bo. Hale sent me here, so I don't get involved in all the light dark politics. A hailstorm is forming between the light and the dark."
" Well, good to know you are alive and well, and with Stella." Bo said, " I wish you were here, I really could use some of your expertise on the fae business right now."
" I know. That's why I asked Hale to call you." Trick said, " You can contact me through him from now on." He paused for a little bit, then continued, " I want to know everything that happened to you for the last few days."
" Ok. Let's see, where do I start?" Bo said, " We went to Isaac's compound. Lauren was there. We talked, not very pleasant conversation. Then Tamsin got Dyson, but they both fell off the cliff. They are both fine now. I went to find you and Kenzi in the Dal. There was this wanderer card on the floor, and the weird song on the radio. There was an explosion. Then I think I saw a black smoke surrounding me."
" What happened after the black smoke, Bo? I need you to think very carefully, what happened after that?"
" I don't know, Trick. It's like my memories were wiped out or something. The next thing I know was I woke in my own bed and it was days later. I have no idea what happened during those days."
" This is bad, Bo. We need to figure out what happened."
" Yeah, I know. How? Go to a dream weaver? Or do you have some truth serum hidden somewhere that I can use?"
" No, truth serum or weaver wouldn't work on your case." Trick said, " I'll send someone to you to help you remember later. We'll keep in touch."
" Ok." Bo hung up the phone. Then she turned around trying to continue her conversation with Tamsin. But Tamsin was not at the table anymore. She was lying on the couch with her eyes closed.
Bo ran to the couch and leaned over to check her pulse. She heard the blonde growled.
" Just taking a nap. Still breathing." Tamsin said.
" Ok. But we are going to continue that talk when you wake up." Bo said, " You can't dodge me forever."
Tamsin didn't say anything. She rolled over and curled herself in the couch and closed her eyes again.
Bo sighed and sat beside her on the couch, trying to figure out what she should do next. Now that she knew everyone was ok except Lauren, she thought they should find Lauren first. But there was just no clue about Lauren's whereabouts. And because Bo had lost her phone, she had no idea if Lauren had tried to contact her. Maybe she tried but it didn't get through.
Something occurred to Bo. She called Hale.
" Hey, I need a favor. Can you ask someone to trace my old cell phone?"
" Lucky for you. We've already traced your old cell phone when you were missing. Apparently you left it at the Dal. The phone should be at the police station now. You can go claim it. I'll let them know."
" Ok. Thanks." Bo paused for a while, then she said, " Any progress on finding Lauren?"
" No, not yet." Hale said.
" Shit." Bo closed her eyes and cursed. Then she realized something. " What about the light and dark fae stuff? Is there going to be a war or something?"
" No. There is not going to be a war. Things are very intense among the top families right now." Hale said, " I can't tell you all the details, but the Morrigan will resign soon. Once she is gone, things should be settled."
" Damn! How did you manage to do that!" Bo said.
" Let's just say I have the right person in the right place. Anyway, don't worry about the light and dark stuff Bo. Just find Lauren, and deal with whatever stuff you have. Although, you may want to keep a low profile for now, the Morrigan's minions might be hunting you, or Kenzi right now."
" Ok. Thanks for the heads up." Bo said, " I'll go get my old cell phone now. Just let me know if anything pops about Lauren ok?"
" Will do."
Bo looked at Tamsin. She was still sleeping. Bo decided not to wake her up. So she left for the police station to retrieve her old cell phone.
Bo did have some missed calls, texts and voice mails, from Kenzi, Hale and Dyson. But nothing was from Lauren. There was an unknown number called her couple times. Bo called back, but no one was answering. She decided to tell Hale about it, just in case it was Lauren.
Bo then went to the Dal. She didn't know why, but she thought she might find some clue there, since Hale's people found her phone there. But she found nothing, except all the mess.
She paid Dyson a visit. Kenzi and Bruce were there too. Dyson was surprised that Bo came to see him after she had called him earlier. But they all ended up having a great time in the hospital.
Then Bo ran out of places to go to. She had to go home. She didn't want to admit it, but she was a little bit worried about Tamsin. She knew there were millions of questions that she wanted to ask Tamsin, she didn't even know where to start.
Right now, she just worried about her.
Bo opened the door to her place. She thought Tamsin was still napping. But to her surprise, the valkyrie was in the kitchen, with her I-am-so-gonna-kill-someone face. Seeing her coming in, Tamsin clenched her lips and stared at the couch.
There was a stranger sitting on the couch, a young woman. She dressed like a girl from one of those Japanese animations, with her highlighted hair, her glittering eye shadow, her dress filled with ribbons and laces, her knee high socks and her shoes that didn't match in color. Other than that, she was actually pretty. She heard Bo come in and threw herself to Bo to hug her tight.
" Hey, who the hell are you?" Bo pushed her away and asked. She saw Tamsin smirked, as if she was saying now it's your turn.
" It's so nice to meet you in person! I've heard so much about you! Bo the unaligned succubus! You are so pretty! You look so cool! Can I kiss you?"
" What? No, you can not!" Bo said, " Can I help you?"
" Actually, I was thinking I could help you." The girl pouted when she heard a no from Bo. She went back to sit down on the couch and started to chew her gum.
" What?"
" Trick told me you need to retrieve some memories." The girl pulled the gum out from her mouth with her fingers, then stuffed it back in.
" Oh, so Trick send you to help me with that?"
The girl nodded with a big smile on her face. She stood up and walked to Bo. Bo backed a few steps, just in case that the girl threw herself to her again. But this time the girl just reached her hand out. " Hi, my name is Tia, I'm a muse. I'm here to help you retrieve your memories."
" Muse? Aren't you supposed to be dancing, or playing harp somewhere?" Bo shook her hand lightly.
" We are famous for that. But we do have abilities related to memories. It's from our mother's side. Not a lot of people know about that though." Tia grabbed Bo's hand and jumped up and down like a kid on Halloween. " So, let's start, shall we?"
" Ok... so what do I do now?"
" You just sit down, and relax. I'll do the rest." Tia sat down on the couch while she dragged Bo to sit beside her. " Don't worry, you won't feel a thing. I promise, ok?"
Bo nodded, then she felt Tia's hand on her temple.
She instantly blacked out.
A/N: Muses are believed to be the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, the latter was the Godness of memory. In Greek mythology there were 9 muses, they mostly related to art, music, poetry and stuff. But some people do believe they are also related to memories. - all from Wikipedia.
I couldn't find any other legendary creatures related to memories so I just used muse here to help Bo to retrieve her lost memories.
I don't think there was a muse named Tia though, I made that up.
Also, I just read from Rachel Skarsten's tweeter that she has confirmed that she'll be in S4. Because of this great news, I'm going to update two chapters today!
