A Leap of Fae

Chapter 4

Sorry it took me so long to update. I got sick over the holidays. So here it is… thanks to everyone who took the time to read. Glad you like!

Bo stumbled in to her bed. She lies there finally, her thoughts coming back to Lauren. Her golden hair and deep blue eyes. Bo feels a tug at her heart of pain. Knowing the event s that happened 2 weeks prior….

"Feed off of me Bo….I want to be part of this…. Be part of you..." She remembers Lauren whispering in her ear. Wanting Lauren to be that for her. Wanting her to be everything. Her lips tasted sweet but her Chi was addictive. Bo could taste the want and need Lauren had for her. The unconditional love that Lauren harbored for the Succubus flowed through her veins like a warm blanket encasing her. SCREAMS of ecstasy, Screams. Is what Bo hears and snaps her out of her Feed. Breathing quickly. Body limp. All Bo can remember is how Lauren wilted like a used rag doll. But Lauren is much more than that! She is not something to be fed on. Bo panics and preforms basic CPR that saves Lauren. Overwhelmed, she leaves. Walking out on Lauren, Leaving her Confused and alone. Calling... and pleading for Bo to return. Bo closes her eyes and tears start to flow down her cheeks. Knowing the danger she put Lauren through. She cannot. She will not! Have any more dead lovers. Bo Swears at that moment that she will not let herself be near Lauren for her own safety.

****2 days before*****

"Bo Bo, do I have a case for you! Kenzi struts in the club house with a Middle aged woman trailing behind her.

Bo stands up from the bench in the kitchen to meet the woman. "Bo, I would like you to meet Jennifer Cook. Mrs. Cooks, this is Bo the Private Investigator. " Bo and Jennifer shake hands.

"Now, Mrs. Cook what can I do for you?" Bo asked sympathetically seeing the pure sadness in her eyes.

Jennifer nods quickly, "my boy…my son Harvey was taken at a Birthday party 2 months ago. The police can no longer help me. I know he is alive!" Jennifer says passionately.

Bo Frowns and looks at Kenzi. "Ummm, Mrs. Cook, how am I going to help, if your son has been gone for 2 months?"

Jennifer's bottom lip starts to quiver. "Miss Kenzi said that you can help. See, I know where my son is…I just cannot get him given that I am a Light Fae…"

"Ah. I see… was your son taken by a Dark Fae? For ransom or revenge? "

"Seriously, I cannot give you a reason as to why my son was taken but we were at a birthday party in the Forest. My Son and I are Gymps ( Tree dwellers) Normally we do not allow outsiders to our part of the woods but the mother gave in to her son's request for a clown. The Clown that came, his name was Cosmo. I did not like him. And I warned Harvey to stay clear. The party was ending and I went to bid Farwell to the other parents. I called for Harvey. No answer. I panicked and the other Parents helped me look for him. But he was nowhere to be found. The Clown Cosmo was also missing. We called in the Light Fae to investigate but nothing showed up. No reports from the Dark or light. But I Knew that that clown was responsible for taking my Harvey. He is just 4."

Bo grabs Jennifer's hands to comfort her as she recounts the events of that day. "Ok. Ok. I will find him. Do you know where I can start the search?"

Jennifer nods. "The woods."

Bo looks at Kenzi… "I guess we are going camping"

Kenzi gasps "Bo Bo, I need to buy new boots!"

*******Somewhere in the Woods******

It's dark and cold. Little Harvey is sitting on the ground. His leg chained to a stone. Surrounded by three more children, 2 other boys his same age and a girl a little older than them.

"I'm scared…"

"Me too…"

"shhh, you need to keep your voices low. Cosmo will hear you" the young girl said in a whisper.

"Who is he? What does he want? "

"He needs kids to survive. He likes to eat our fears" The younger girl warned. She's been here for 3years seen little kids come and pass. She's seen the horrors of what this Clown can do.. "we need to stay scared!"

Bo asked around, trying to gather as much information on this Clown creep. She got a physical description of the guy. Trying to research a little more, Bo and Kenzi go to the Dal. Being the Neutral Zone it was also the research lab and Trick the bar keep was the eyes and ears on all things Fae.

"Trickster! I've had a long day in these boots; Give me some of your Good Shit!" Kenzi yells as she bangs on the bar counter.

"Kenzi! This is a bar not the Jungle. Stop acting like a Monkey!"

"Speaking of woods my Oh so knee tall bar keep, we just came from there." Kenzi says as she knocks a shot back. "Wooo. Now that is serious SHIT!"

Bo walks in not too far behind. "Hey trick. I need to ask you some questions on a case I am working on" Bo says getting right down to business.

"Sure. What can I do to help?"

Bo recounts the story about the clown and location where Harvey was taken. Hoping Trick might have an answer and sure enough he did.

"It sounds to me what this Cosmo the Clown fellow is a Hagondes. You know, Lauren called me a week ago asking the same questions. "

"A Hag-a-Fae what?" Kenzi stutters.

"A Hagondes. Its Dark- Underfae. Its part human and part Clown. They are Cannibals that like to feed off the fears of children or… feed off of the children." Trick said Grimly.

"Lauren?" surprised to hear her name "Ok wow. How does she know about this? Well how do I go about finding this Hago the clown and how do I scare it to death?"

"They are really hard to find to its Fae kind but a Human can see them."

Kenzi chokes on her drink and coughs severely. "Nah ah. I'm sorry. I'm scared of clowns. One time I went to the circus and I was trying to borrow a clown's water gun… anyway he caught me and took my shoes! That face painted, baggy pant, big shoed Bastard!" Kenzi shook her fists.

"oh come on kenz, we really need your help." Bo says hugging her little thief.

"Ugh. Fine! But if this clown tries to pie me in the face..." She pauses as she sees an unexpected patron walk through the door.

Bo turns to see what got her mouthy friend so silent and falls in to the same stunned look.

Lauren walks in. Smiling happily with another woman in her arms;

A woman that looks exactly like Bo.
