The Dark Fae compound.
"Is everything ready? Evony asked one of her maids.
"Yes Morrigan, everything is set up just as you requested.
"Yuck. I hope the good doctor and her flunkies get here soon", Evony said.
Evony heard footsteps as if people were running. Massimo had arrived pulling Kenzi behind him. Evony swallowed hard. She had hoped he would have left the human in the archives.
"Mommy? You called? Massimo said with his eyes wide with anticipation. She was going to finally accept him. Accept what he can do. Accept that he wasn't a failure. Accept that he wasn't a mistake from a misguided night with a human years ago.
"Yes handsome. Come and give mommy a hug", Evony said holding back her disgust.
"Really? You want to hug me? I won't have to beg? Massimo asked.
"Yes. Yes come to mommy and give me a hug", Evony said.
Massimo started walking towards her but he was still holding on to Kenzi.
"Son if you're going to hug me, you will need to let the lowly human go", Evony said.
Kenzi wanted to tell Evony to Fae off, but she held her tongue.
Massimo let go of Kenzi and ran to Evony. She closed her eyes in disgust.
"Lauren you owe me big for this", Evony whispered internally.
Clearing her throat "Here sweetie let me take your jacket while you take a seat", Evony said.
Massimo allowed her to take his jacket. She walked over to Kenzi.
"Hang this up human", Evony winked at Kenzi.
Kenzi took his jacket and hung it up like requested.
"Massimo dear. Would you like a salad? Evony asked.
Lauren and Dyson.
"He must be there by now", Dyson said.
Lauren tried Bo again.
"Lauren? No", Bo said answering her phone.
"Bo you will feel like shit if you continue to ignore me", Lauren said.
"Kenzi? Bo asked.
"Yes Bo. You need to listen", Lauren said.
"She doesn't want my help Lauren and neither do you", Bo said.
"Isabeau Dennis listen to me", Lauren said.
"That don't work with Trick, it won't work with you either Lauren, bye", Bo said.
"Why do I love that woman? Lauren asked angrily.
"You just do Lauren. You always have and you always will", Dyson answered.
"So do you", Lauren smiled in his direction.
Lauren slowly pulled up to the compound.
"You ready? Lauren asked.
"Yes we have to be quick about this", Dyson said.
"Yes we do. Let's go", Lauren said.
Bo and Rainer.
"So we are here to get info about a pony tail? Bo asked.
"No we are here so they can tell us where to find the hair", Rosette asked.
"It's the woman that attacked me on my way here", Rosette said grabbing her sword.
"Easy. I got this", Said Bo.
"It's the succubus", The mainden said.
"Lady look just give me the horse hair and I won't kick your ass", Bo said.
"Baby Fae listen. You bind with him and it will be the end of the world as we know it".
"Baby Fae? Oh honey insults will really get your ass kicked.
The lady rushed to Bo but Rosette stepped in front of Bo.
"Rosette? Stand down, I got this", Bo said.
The Dark Fae compound
"Run human", Evony screamed while she hugged Massimo
Massimo became upset sensing his mother's betrayal.
"No. She will return to me", Massimo said.
"What? Evony said.
"Come back to me human", Massimo said using telekinetic powers to pull Kenzi back.
Kenzi couldn't do anything but what he asked.
"Did your pathetic ass think you would get away with my Twig of Zamora? He snapped in her face.
"Twig?
"You mean this? Lauren asked walking in.
"Give it to me", Massimo demanded.
"Way to go Kenzi. Sorry asshole not happening", Lauren said crushing the twig into nothing under her boot.
"You will pay for that doctor", Massimo snapped.
"Oooo I'm shaking", Lauren said.
Massimo started walking towards Lauren.
"Massimo. Let go of Kenzi. Take me instead", Said Tamsin rounding the corner.
"Pfft you're on your last life Tam Tam, what use are you to me? He mocked.
"Tsk tsk. Everyone is here but the succubus. Her lovers, her wanna be lover and her human pet", Massimo mocked.
"Surely she would want one of you back", Massimo said.
The Clubhouse
Bo was getting tired of all the runaround. They were no close to finding this hair everyone was speaking of. She stormed into the clubhouse with Rainer and Rosette close behind. She was glad Kenzi hadn't returned she was in no mood to fight. She just wanted to save Rainer's life and get it on with her father. If he dared to show himself.
Rainer took a seat on the couch and Bo knelt down next to him. Rosette continued to go over the prophecies and Bo was half listening while checking her phone. She noticed she had many calls and texts from Dyson and neglected them all.
"Trouble? Rainer asked.
"It's nothing", Bo said waving off his question.
"My queen I must warn you, binding with Rainer will release your father from...", Rosette
"I'm tired of hearing about my father. If he's too much of a coward to show himself, there is nothing he can do to me", Bo said.
Bo's phone beeped and once again she ignored it.
Bo was tired. She was tired of Pyrripus talk. She was tired of prophecies. She was tired of people trying to control her life. She put full faith in Rainer and the destiny she had denied for so long. She just wanted to save him and be done with the bullshit surrounding her life. Kenzi was ignoring her. Lauren and Dyson kept calling and or texting and she didn't want to deal with their drama either. The only one that wasn't pestering her was Trick and she knew he was finally standing down and allowing her to make her own decisions even if he didn't agree.
