It had been a week since the trio arrived.
Kenzi was quite pleased that she thought ahead before there arrive since she had more than one guest room installed. Though all three never brought anyone back to feed – which Kenzi was more than grateful for. Though within that week Kenzi had sensed that the Shack was being watched once more thus is why she had gathered everyone in the living room to tell them the attack.
"So the fae that attacked you wanted information on Bo?"
Kenzi's hearted ached as Bel asked because her voice was similar to Bo's and that made her light soul cry out even more for the Succubus. Finding it difficult to voice an answer she merely nods as her response.
Lynn was pacing through the room – Bel was sitting in the recliner watching Lynn with amusement and Kristoff sat next to Kenzi. The silence was broken when a new question was asked by Kristoff.
"Did anything stand out that these fae did?"
Kenzi for her part recalled everything – the only thing that did remotely stand out was the fact that they shimmered into the Shack though she didn't really given them much time to do anything.
"No the only thing they did was shimmer in and I took away their powers," Kenzi shrugged, "and I killed one of them," her eyes widen then, "his blood was black if that helps."
Kristoff's face screwed into a face of disgust and mild confusion.
"That sounds a bit demonic to me."
Lynn for her part quit pacing as she looked at her brother and her friends.
"They could be shadow fae."
All eyes were on her – Kenzi's mouth formed an 'o' shape, Bel furrowed her brows and Kristoff looked puzzled.
"What?"
"There is such a thing as shadow fae?"
Lynn tilts her head trying to find the right words to answer Kenzi and Bel – mainly Bel's question since Kenzi only said what.
"Yeah from what I remember they had black blood and a knack for teleportation but I'm sure there is more to them than that."
Lynn looked thoughtful then as Bel walked over to her.
"I know that look what's on your mind?"
Instead of answering Bel's question Lynn looks at Kenzi – a look of seriousness washed over the blonds face.
"Does the Blood King live around here?"
Kenzi nods her head then as she stands up stretching her body in the process.
"Yeah he runs a neutral bar called the Dal," she furrows her brows then, "do you think he can help?"
Lynn merely shrugs as she looked at the immortal before her smiling slightly as in act of reassurance.
"It's a long shot but I'm sure he can."
Kristoff cracks his back as he looks at Kenzi.
"It'll be one step closer into finding out why Bo left I mean they came here wanting information so it kinda sounds like whoever is calling the shots has some beef with your friend."
Kenzi's heart started to race then with anticipation and hope. If they got a lead on whoever sent those underfae it would be a step closer into finding out why her Succubus left – part of Kenzi thinks that she did so to protect her and that is when her fire started to boil.
'Stupid kind Bo always playing the damn hero.'
The three jumped back as Kenzi's eyes turned red – her fire danced around her body as her heat kept rising. Without realizing it Kenzi burnt her couch causing Kristoff to put the flames out with the fire extinguisher.
Kenzi's inner turmoil was brought to an end when a pair of arms wrapped around her and a yelp of pain filled her ears.
"Kenzi come back," Lynn pleaded hoarsely, "Whatever you are thinking about let it go before you burn down the place!"
Kenzi blinked then her eyes shining in their usual gentle ice. Shifting her gaze down she winced at the arms around her waist. Guilt fills wash over her she turns to look at Lynn only to hold the cry in her throat Lynn's beautiful body was covered in burn marks and her clothes had all but burned off.
Bel acted swiftly moving Kenzi to the side gently as she brought her lips to Lynn's who tried everything in her power to protest but failed miserable. Kristoff grabbed Kenzi by the hand and the two went to Kenzi's room giving the Succubus and the Valkubus space to allow Lynn to heal properly.
"I didn't mean to burn her Kris."
Kenzi's cries as Kristoff strokes her hair soothingly as he looks at the woman before him. Guilt had also wrenched his stomach at the sight of his older sister but he also knew she would heal. He knew that Kenzi knew this also but that wasn't the time to voice it. It was the time to calm her.
"She did what she thought was right to bring you back Kenz," he pauses his movements momentarily as if debating what to say next before continuing his actions, "I mean she is no Elizabeth so she knew the risk," he lifted Kenzi's chin so her icy orbs could met his amber, "Liz would want us to do everything in our powers to protect you," he smiles teary eyed, "Lynn cares for you – hell we all do so if a risk is to be taken we do it."
Kenzi buries herself deeper into Kristoff as she sobs louder – shaken to her very core.
Almost two hours later Lynn steps through Kenzi's bedroom door fully healed, cleaned and dressed. She smiles sadly as Kenzi detaches herself from Kristoff to stumble over to Lynn whose arms were open and ready to hug her.
"It's okay," she says softly, "I'm okay."
The two stand like this for several minutes until Kenzi pulls away from Lynn she noticed that Bel was standing in her doorway so she smiles at the taller brunette.
"Thank you for healing her."
Bel smiles genuinely as she looks at Lynn and then Kenzi.
"She's my best friend and I wasn't about to let her be in pain," Bel smirks then much like Bo would when she thought of something sarcastic, "Besides I'd be completely lost without the little Valkubus."
Lynn just rolls her eyes as she walks over to Bel slapping her shoulder playfully.
"Ah yeah we know this Bells," Lynn then glares at Bel playfully, "And just because we bat for the same team does not mean you can jump my bones when the situation calls for it."
Bel threw her hands in the air then.
"You weren't complaining two hours ago."
Kenzi then watched as the two bickered much like she would with Bo – though she was happy for the two friends it made her miss her Succubus even more. Kristoff cleared his throat then bringing Kenzi back from her musing and stopping the two from bickering.
"Right well since we are all dressed," he claps his hands then, "and my darling sister is all healed how about we go see the Blood King?"
All nodded in agreement until Kenzi raised her hand keeping them in place.
"Alright firstly no one should address Trick as the Blood King," she huffed, "at least not in public, " she looks at Lynn and Kristoff then, "Secondly you two stick to the script I don't want anyone knowing how you really know me and my cover being blown in my face," when the siblings nodded she turns her gaze to Bel, "And lastly you Succubus are doing a good job so far just don't mention to anyone that I am fae," Kenzi's eyes flash red for good measure, "Friend or not I will fry your ass."
Bel nods her head as she wraps her arm around Lynn's shoulder.
"Your secret is save with me," she squeezes Lynn's shoulder affectionately," besides Lynn packs a punch so I wouldn't dream of it."
With a nod and making sure everything was secure in the Crack Shack the gang made their way to the Dal – though with some difficulty because fae and human alike stop them as they asked for numbers. Kenzi groaned inwardly each time because the Succubus and Incubus charm just lured people in – hell even Lynn drew people in being part Succubus herself.
Finally making it to the Dal Kenzi noticed that like last time it wasn't quite so packed though Trick did have customers. Like right now as she spots him she can see him talking and tending to a muse – pretty little thing, but as soon as Trick spots her he excuses himself making his way to her.
"Kenzi are you here for a drink?"
Before she could answer it was Lynn who jumped the gun.
"Those would be nice but we have some questions to ask you first if you don't mind?"
Trick shifted his gaze from Kenzi looking at the petite blond who asked the question. He then looked at the young man standing to the left of Kenzi what took him by surprise though was the dark haired brunette who stepped closer to the blond – he paled slightly for a moment as his heart almost stopped as he nodded he thought of only one thing – Afie had lied.
The group of four followed Trick – who kept looking back at them – though Kenzi knew he was really only looking back at Bel as the four followed him.
Once everyone was situated Kenzi told Trick everything – from how she knew the siblings to the attack to Tamsin she should quit the P.I business to her calling Kristoff – she left nothing out.
"So you think whoever sent those fae are after Bo?"
Kenzi shrugged her shoulders as Bel looked at Trick.
"Was or is there such a thing as Shadow fae if so what is there to know about them?"
Trick who was taken back by the tone in the brunettes voice he then without answering her walks to a bookshelf pulling out one of his many ancient books flipping to the desired page he halts as he reads from the text.
"It says here that shadow fae are trained assassins – made of course for dark fae purposes but light fae were known to use them too for their dirty work," his brows furrow, "it says here though that they were wiped out because fae of both light and dark feared that no one – besides the Ask and the Morrigan – should have such power," he looked at Kenzi then, "whoever commanded them were considered very powerful and very dangerous."
"Do the Shadow Fae have any particular powers we should be worried about?"
Trick looked at Lynn then as she tilted her head waiting for an answer.
"The book said teleportation, strength, speed – they can alter their appearance if they so desired."
Lynn just lets out a huff of annoyance.
"Great basically like fae ninja."
Holding back his chuckle Trick looks at Lynn sternly.
"Right well nothing to worry about since they are extinct."
Lynn rolls her eyes as Bel speaks.
"Yeah well history has been wrong on a lot of things."
Kristoff decided to chime in then as he looked at everyone in the room.
"Right well real or not what is the plan?"
Trick looked at the young incubus then his voice carried some authority.
"The plan is to lay low," he looked around then, "Kenzi is trying to hide her identity and whoever is pulling the strings will reveal themselves in due time," he's eyes softened then, "Take cases in the mean time I mean that is what you called them for right?"
Kenzi nods then though she noticed the lingering glance Trick was giving to Bel so she decided to break the ice.
"I know that look Trickster," she narrowed her eyes slightly, "You know something about the Succubus in the room so spill."
Sighing heavily Trick felt all eyes on him – including the one he had been staring at. Looking up to meet Kenzi's gaze a broke man before her.
"Aife lied to me when she was pregnant," Trick recalled feeling more than one life forms in his daughter's stomach, "I knew she was carrying twins – there was a risk to it since Aife herself was a twin though her brother died at birth."
He looked at Bel then.
"Bel I'm your grandfather."
The succubus blew out a breath then as she looked at Trick. Lynn walked over to her best friend lacing their fingers together – she gave her a squeeze giving Bel the courage to talk.
"I know," Bel smiled weakly, "I mean I look an awful lot like Bo – I mean her name is Isabo and my name happens to be Isabel," she inhales quickly exhaling her next sentence, "Also Aife visited me awhile back she said something about me making a valuable asset to her."
Trick eyes widen along with Kenzi as they looked at Bel.
"Lynn had to kick my ass to make me realize that leaving with Aife was a bad idea," Bel chuckled, "I mean she did abandon me – hell she abandon Bo too so I'm glad I didn't take her up on her offer."
Lynn smiled at Bel then before throwing her fist in the air.
"Alright now that we are all caught up and acquainted how about them drinks?"
Everyone – except Trick – laughs. Trick just simply frowns at the blond.
"There is a magic word you know?"
"You mean now."
The Valkubus states with a raise of her brow looking at Trick mischievously. Bel snickered at her best friend taunting her grandfather Kristoff bits back his laughter as Kenzi giggles.
"Oh Trick you amazing Trickster," Kenzi says in a sing song voice, "May you do the honors of getting us some hooch pretty please?"
Trick bites back his laughter as he nods everyone making their way to the main part of the Dal. Once everyone was in their designated areas Trick placed four bottles of Vodka and four shot glasses infront of them.
"Here help yourselves I have other customers to tend too."
As Trick walked off Kenzi looked over her shoulder – low and behold a hoard of light and dark fae alike came in. Kenzi noticed right away three familiar faces walking towards them.
"Kenzi!"
Dyson bellows causing the immortal to flinch she turns her body to face him so that when he hugs her she won't burn him because he startled her – because burnt wolf flesh never smells pleasant.
"Dyson!"
She said in false enthusiasm as he brings her in for a bear hug Kenzi was oblivious to the death glare Tamsin sent Kenzi. Lynn for that matter caught it and smirked knowingly unknown to Tamsin.
Once Dyson pulled away from Kenzi he nodded at Kristoff – his gaze lingered on Bel for a moment making her uncomfortable though she felt Lauren look at her so she decided to walk over to the blond who was standing near Tamsin though she was occupied with gawking at Bel only to cover it up at the brunette made her way over to the doctor.
"What brings you to the Dal?"
Dyson questioned Kenzi as he looked at the other two at the bar. Lynn who was working on her fifth shot takes if quickly looking at the wolf infront of Kenzi.
"Kenzi mention this bar was like neutral grounds," Lynn paused to take her sixth shots, "We decided to come here so we wouldn't get looked at oddly."
Dyson just nods as Kristoff takes the bottle away from Lynn.
"Hey you need to share don't be greedy now."
Lynn merely scowls as the wolf and her brother laugh – her gaze then shifts to Bel who is talking away with the human doctor.
Bel felt someone stare at her she smiled adoringly when she shifted her gaze from the interesting human beside her to look at her best friend. She furrowed her brows slightly as Lynn gave her the thumbs up before turning her attention back to the others.
Lauren noticed the look on Bel's face – it was much like Bo's face when she pondered or looked lost when thinking about something. It made the blond want to kiss the expression off the Succubus's face though she knew it could only over step her bounds and she still wasn't one hundred percent over Bo. So she simply looked at the brunette.
"Are you alright you looked confused?"
Bel just nods her head as her ocean hued eyes look into Lauren's chocolate orbs.
"Yeah I sometimes get lost in thought is all."
Lauren taking that answer nods and the two make way over to the others – Tamsin on the other hand stayed rooted in place. Her gaze never leaving Kenzi as the human laughed and joked with the people around her. Jealousy flared a few times when the half breed touched the little Goth.
She wasn't sure why she just simply was when anyone touched Kenzi for that matter – it scared and angered Tamsin to no end. She noticed the feeling a week ago before the trio arrived. Once they showed up she took it as an excuse to avoid the human knowing she was protected and hoping to the fae gods that the feeling would leave her. It never did though only amplified.
She couldn't like Kenzi – not at all.
Her love was a death sentence and falling for a human would only end tragically.
Kenzi sensed something and turned to see Tamsin just standing there feeling rather mischievous she hops off the stool making her way to the blond.
"Hey Valkubabe long time no see."
Tamsin cursed inwardly as her heart picked up the pace – ignoring the feeling she was getting from the human's voice she crosses her arms.
"What," she raises her brow, "and you've seen me last week like I've mentioned before I do work you know."
Instead of flinching at the harshness in the Valkyrie's voice Kenzi simply shrugs with a smile.
"Well you are a Valkrie and a total babe, " she wiggles her brow suggestively which makes the Valkyrie before her breath catch in her throat – Kenzi was unaware of this as she looks more causal, "and I know this D man mentioned you guys just cracked a tough case with the help of the good doctor."
Tamsin uncrosses her arms and nods jerking her chin towards the bar.
"Mind if I get a drink before continuing this conversation?"
Kenzi nods as they make their way to the bar once seated Lynn slides a shot glass to Tamsin along with a bottle of absolute Vodka.
"It's on the house."
Tamsin just nods as she takes a few shots then looks at Kenzi who also downed some.
"So have you four taken any cases?"
Kenzi who just downed another gulp looks over at Tamsin.
"Mmm nope not really," she shrugs, "we haven't really went looking though the three of them having me training like crazy!"
Kenzi flung her arms around in emphasis causing Tamsin to raise her brow.
"You training," Tamsin chuckles as she looks at the human, "that seems hard to believe."
Kenzi gasps slightly in a dramatic way as she glared at the Valkyrie.
"I have you know I do one on one training with all of them and can hold my own."
Tamsin just smirks as she gives Kenzi a 'really' look.
"Yeah I doubt that half pint I mean look at you," Tamsin gestures to all of Kenzi, "I bet they go easy on you."
Kenzi just rolls her eyes as she looks at the blond a smirk graced her face as she takes another shot – she then pretends to be drunk as she leans into the Valkyrie's personal space causing the blond to blush faintly.
"Maybe you should train me then?"
Tamsin couldn't think of a response as Kenzi leaned forward kissing Tamsin on the cheek a lot longer than last time and closer to her lips. Kenzi then hops off of the stool wobbling over to Lynn who pulls Bel on the arm and Kristoff for his part gets up standing next to the other three.
"Well it's been fun but we should get going it was nice spending time with you guys we should totally do this again."
Kenzi waited for the others to nod and was quite happy when all of them did. Her gaze lingered on Tamsin as Lynn helped her pretend to walk better. All the while she smiled at the jealous glint in the full Valkyrie's eyes.
Tamsin takes another shot of the alcohol then – her thoughts go back to that kiss on her cheek and how she couldn't quite respond like she wanted to.
Instead of wanting to think about it she begins to down the other bottle hoping to drown the feeling for a little while.
In an old abandon warehouse a man was being tortured. Not just any man though – a fae – the very same fae who was branded by Kenzi.
WHACK
"Tell me why the Succubus is back when you told me the human knew nothing!"
The man said nothing – being branded swore him to a secrecy he couldn't over power. The fae interrogating him loses patience quickly after a week of beating and torturing the underling so in one swift motion he kills him in one swift motion.
"That bitch will get what's coming to her," the man spat as he looked at the dead fae he just killed, "She and her human pet too."
