After Acacia left, Bo spent a few long minutes doing nothing but looking at Tamsin lying there on the couch. Her mind was racing. She knew she had to make it up to the Valkyrie when she would wake up. She knew she had to do whatever it would take to be forgiven. To at least be friends again. She couldn't bear the idea of Tamsin leaving or hating her.

She couldn't bear the idea of hurting the other Fae again like she had that night. The hurt in her beautiful green eyes was something she would never be able to forget. Bo had killed, yes, and that was something that would always haunt her for the rest of her life. But never before had she seen someone looking so hurt because of her.

The Succubus's thoughts were interrupted when she heard a groan coming from the blonde Valkyrie lying in front of her. A frown marring her beautiful features, her jaw clenched, it was clear she was in great pain from her injuries.

At first, Bo thought Tamsin was waking up so she rushed by her side and got down on her knees again, gently cupping the Valkyrie's face with her shaky hands.

"Tamsin?" Nothing. "Tamsin, can you hear me?" But no answer came this time either.

Finally, the blonde stopped groaning and slipped back into what seemed to be a more peaceful slumber.

"No wonder you're groaning, it's just impossible to be comfortable on this fucking couch," Bo said, talking more to herself than to Tamsin.

Bo had to make a choice, leaving Tamsin on the sofa and clean her wounds there or carrying her to her bedroom upstairs where she would be more comfortable and getting her cleaned up would be a lot easier. It didn't take her long to decide – she would take her upstairs, and not only for the sake of comfort. In the bedroom, the Valkyrie would be safer, less vulnerable and just easier to protect if Stacy or any uninvited person would decide to show up.

She then carefully picked Tamsin up in her arms and carried her bridal style up to the bedroom.

After setting the blonde gently on her bed, Bo felt light headed all of a sudden and almost lost her balance.

"Damn it," she cursed herself for feeling so weak in such an inappropriate moment.

That is when she realized how exhausted she actually was. With all that had happened over the past few hours, no wonder she was low on chi. Her body and her mind were tired. Carrying Tamsin all the way to her bedroom alone had completely worn her out.

The brunette went to the bathroom next to her bedroom to get all the supplies she needed to clean Tamsin's wounds. She really didn't want the blonde to get some infection or anything because of the cuts.

That is when she saw what a mess she actually was herself. She had circles under her eyes, her make-up had run down her face, Tamsin's blood all over her, and her face was so pale that she thought she was dead for a second. With a deep sigh, she decided to clean herself very quickly before returning to the blonde's side.

Removing her watch she noticed that is was almost 4am. No wonder she was exhausted.

After washing all the blood away, Bo returned to the bedroom, setting all the medical supplies on the huge bed, besides the still asleep Valkyrie.

She was about to begin when a knock on the door startled her. She quickly regained her composure and grabbed her dagger before heading downstairs as quietly as possible. She heard what sounded like someone was picking the lock and prepared herself for a fight, ready to go against anyone who would want to hurt her or Tamsin.

Her whole body tight with anticipation, her heart racing, Bo couldn't stop thinking about what Tamsin had told her earlier, during the brief moment when she was actually conscious: "Bo you have to get out of here... It is too dangerous... She wants to kill you…"

The Succubus knew who the 'she' in Tamsin's warning was. Stacy. If Stacy was coming, Bo knew there was no way she could control herself. She was going to kill the Valkyrie. She wanted to hurt her, at least as much as she had hurt Tamsin. She wanted Stacy to suffer.

But when the door opened, Bo immediately dropped her dagger and ran towards to greet the only person she actually wanted to see at that moment.

"Whoa there Bobo! What's the hug for? You know I actually tried to knock at the door, like a normal person but then I thought it would be way quicker to let myself in."

Bo stopped hugging the Goth girl and took a step back to look at her, while still holding her hands tightly, just to make sure she was real.

"Kenzi, I'm so glad you're here. Wait. How did you get here? I mean, you were just in Spain a few hours ago!" Bo said surprised, still not believing that her best friend was in front of her.

"Well I have my ways, I will explain later, but you sounded so desperate and I was so worried about Tammy! Where is she, by the way? Did she come back here or something? I have to talk to her, I mean, that is what mothers do, right?" the human said almost jokingly but her smile immediately faded when she saw the look on Bo's face.

"What happened to Tamsin?" Kenzi said seriously. "Bo where is she? What happened to her? Talk to me!"

"She is upstairs," the Succubus replied, her voice trembling. "She is in a coma... She was hurt because of me, Kenzi, I am so sorry," she finished as another violent sob racked her body.

The human took a step forward to take her in her arms, doing her best to stay as calm as possible because she was very aware that freaking out would only make things worse.

"Come on, tell me everything," Kenzi whispered in Bo's ear, still holding her best friend who was letting go of all the emotions she had struggled so hard to keep bottled in over the last few hours.

When Bo stopped sobbing and was calm again, she explained everything that happened between her and Tamsin after Kenzi had left. Then they went together upstairs and started cleaning Tamsin's wounds in silence.

Every time they discovered a new bruise or a new cut on the Valkyrie's body, Kenzi could see tears welling up in the Succubus's eyes. She herself was having a very hard time controlling her emotions.

Since her rebirth, the Valkyrie had been a very important part of Kenzi's heart. The human had seen her as a little girl, lost and vulnerable. Tamsin had grown on her. Even if now they were good friends, the human would always see her as her protégée, as someone she should look after no matter what. And she was proud of the blonde. Yes she was, because she had raised the Fae as someone who was badass but also caring, loyal and most of all human. She knew it was difficult for the Valkyrie to express her feelings but when they were just the two of them together, Tamsin opened up and shared her thoughts and almost everything with her. Kenzi admired Tamsin for that and for everything she was.

She cared for the Valkyrie more than anything, and it hurt her to see the blonde in this state. She knew she had to be strong. For herself, for Tamsin and also for Bo. She could see how the brunette was affected by this situation. The strong Succubus was suffering a lot and even though she was trying to put on a brave face, it was absolutely impossible for her to hide the way she was feeling.

The human finally broke the silence. "I don't blame you, you know."

"Wh... What?"

"I don't blame you for what happened to her. It is not your fault."

"Look, Kenz, I really appreciate what you're trying to do, I really do but we both know it is," Bo answered sounding utterly defeated.

"I'm serious Bo. You weren't the one who beat the shit out of her, you weren't the one who tried to kill her. It is not your fault," Kenzi replied, trying to convince the stubborn Succubus.

"But she was there because of me… If I hadn't…" she stopped to wipe the tears which were beginning to form in her eyes. "She wouldn't have been there in the first place if I wasn't so selfish and self-centered. It is my fault. I should have paid more attention to her. I should have figured out how she was feeling! Damn it! How can I be such an idiot, Kenzi? I should have known she was in love with me," Bo finished. She was so angry at herself that she began sobbing uncontrollably once again.

"And I should have told you," the human said with a cracking voice. She stood up and moved towards the crying warrior to take her hands in hers. "I should have told you. I knew exactly what she was feeling when it came to you. I've known for a long time already, I knew and I was the one to tell her to just go for it." She stopped to take a long breath. "I was the one who encouraged her to open up to you. I should have known you weren't ready Bo and I am so, so sorry," the human finished, crying softly next to her friend and her still unconscious protégée.

"Oh Kenzi… It is not your fault, please don't blame yourself," the Succubus replied, taking her best friend in her arms as they both let out the tears they had been holding back from the beginning.

As they were comforting each other in a tight hug, they didn't realize that someone had come into the crack shack until hearing a loud "Bo?"

Startled by the sound, they both quickly broke the embrace.

"Lauren?" Bo called back and moved to go downstairs again, followed by Kenzi.

"Yeah that's me, I'm sorry, I know we're in the middle of the night but I couldn't sleep and I thought I would come by so we could talk about... well about us, and about what happened earlier. I tried to call you but you didn't answer, so that's why I'm here. Anyway, I..." Lauren stopped rambling when she looked up and saw the look on Bo's face. It was obvious that she had been crying, she could still see the dried tears on her cheeks.

"What happened?" she asked immediately, worry evident in her voice. "Kenzi? What are you doing here?"

"Hey doc what's up?" the other human replied unenthusiastically. Seeing that neither Lauren nor Bo was going to talk, she excused herself to give them privacy. She didn't need to hear in detail what had happened between them earlier, she already had a pretty good idea what it was. "I'm gonna go check on Tamsin... I'll leave you two alone, so you can... Whatever." Then she went upstairs.

"What is going on?" Lauren asked searching for Bo's eyes. She had the distinct feeling that the brunette was doing her best to avoid looking at her directly.

"It's complicated…" Bo cleared her throat. "Tamsin... She... She's been hurt and…"

"Is she okay? Does she need medical assistance?" the blonde cut her off, going into her doctor mode.

"No, I mean she's hurt pretty bad but apparently she's going to be okay, because Valkyries heal fast when they're in a coma or something."

"Wait. She's in a coma? Wow. I heard rumors about their abilities to heal faster than any other Fae but I didn't know if it was true. No one has ever seen a Valkyrie in a coma, and according to legends, a Valkyrie has to feel 'safe enough' to fall into a coma. And that practically never happens because Valkyries are a proud race, they trust no one and especially on the battlefield, so they prefer to die and be reborn rather than be in a coma and become vulnerable to others," Lauren explained, both surprised and excited.

"I... I didn't know. Look, I'm sorry but you should go, I need to watch over her, make sure she's healing properly and all," Bo explained briefly.

Lauren could sense the tiredness in the Succubus's voice. "Wait Bo. Maybe I could go check on her? You know, just to make sure there aren't any too severe injuries. Plus, I've never seen a Valkyrie in a self-induced coma, and like I said, this is something that I will probably never get the chance to see again so I would be grateful if…"

"Excuse me?" Bo cut her off, instantly feeling an overwhelming anger rising within her. "Are you serious? Is she just an experiment, a test subject to you? Do you think that what is happening right now is just cool and exciting?"

"Bo that's not what I meant, I'm..." Suddenly Lauren felt nervous and scared, she knew that when the brunette was angry she could lose her temper in the blink of an eye and become aggressive, due to her Succubus nature.

"Don't you even dare! That's exactly what you meant!" Bo replied dryly.

"No I... I just… You seem so tired, I just thought I could help you by watching over her. And that's my job, I probably know more things than you about her biology."

"I can take care of her, Lauren!" Bo practically shouted. Silence feel over the crack shack. The blonde knew it was better to not respond or she would just make things even worse between them. "You should go. Now," the Succubus added in a less aggressive tone this time, but still not looking into the other woman's eyes.

Lauren just looked at Bo for a second, just to be sure the brunette would not change her mind. When she realized that the Succubus was not going to reconsider, she turned towards the door of the crack shack and walked out briskly.
