Chapter 4: Don't Let Me Go
Lauren's Apartment
After making their way to Lauren's bedroom, they didn't sleep right away. Lauren could see that Bo was still a little shaken up by what happened. They were both laying in bed next to each other, looking at the ceiling.
Lauren had a huge window on the roof of her bedroom. It was nice looking at the stars as they laid there. She turned her head when she heard Bo say something.
"I didn't kill him" Bo kept looking at the night's sky.
"I never asked" Lauren said.
"I know, but I just wanted to tell you anyway" Feeling guilty was a given for Bo right now, even though she didn't have a hand in Bertram's death. She did have a hand in tying up and serving him up to Saskia.
It was clear to Lauren that Bo was beating herself up for this, and now she had learned that it wasn't even her that killed him. "Who did kill him?" She couldn't help but wonder.
Bo sighed, still not taking her eyes off of the starry sky above her. "We were at this club earlier, looking for anyone that could give us information on Alison. And we ran into this woman. Her name was Saskia, she was worried that I was looking for a feed on her territory. She's a Succubus, like me..."
Lauren raised her eyebrows, Succubi were very rare. It would be easier to find a needle in a haystack, rather than to find another Succubus. Bo was the first one to be seen in centuries.
"… Anyway, she knew that it was an Alabaster right away. She told me that I was no match for him but, I didn't listen. I never listen…" Bo blamed herself for this. "… I got home and he was there waiting for me. He said that I should feel shame because of what I am. And that I didn't deserve to live…" She had trouble getting her words out, she couldn't hold back her tears.
Bo sniffled. "… Maybe I don't"
Lauren couldn't believe what she had just heard. She pushed herself up on her elbow, looking down at the teary Succubus. "How can you say that?" she asked.
"Because it's true. Lauren I've done so many terrible things, I've killed dozens of innocent people! People with families. I don't deserve the life that I have, I don't deserve Kenzi or you! I don't deserve to be loved" she stared out into the sky.
Whoever that guy was, he had really gotten to her. Lauren wasn't going to let her think these horrible things about herself. "Yes you do Bo, and you are" She said.
Bo let out a laugh, "Oh yeah, by who?"
Lauren smiled, softly. "By me"
"What?" The Succubus didn't believe what she had just said.
Resting her hand on Bo's cheek, the blonde smiled even wider than before. She didn't think that it was possible to love someone this much, especially since they had only been together for such a short time. "I love you, Bo"
Bo sniffled again. She couldn't understand this. Lauren loved her, she actually loved her back. "I love you too" She replied with a teary chuckle.
Lauren didn't know if Bo felt the same, but to hear her say it was indescribable. She leaned in, brushing her lips over Bo's and capturing them in a loving kiss. There was nothing heated about this kiss, all they could feel was the love that they shared for each other. It was there and it was strong.
No talking needed to be done right now, all that mattered was that they were together. They quickly shed their clothing, they were acting as barriers that they didn't need. Bo currently moved over Lauren, thrusting ever so slowly.
She wanted this to be slow and meaningful, although every time that they had sex it was meaningful. Bo moved her lips from Lauren's to her neck and then to her chest.
Lauren lifted her own thigh, as it merged with Bo's centre. Causing her to gasp as she started to rock against it, going slightly faster than before.
She then pulled Bo closer to her body, skin touched skin as they were now face to face. Both women had their eyes closed as their movements sped up as did their breathing.
"You're amazing" Bo breathed.
Lauren smiled into the kiss. "I know" Her words made Bo laugh.
They made love for hours, just exploring each other's bodies. The air was filled with loud moans, while they both exchanged 'I Love you's'. Bo hoped that she could free Lauren from the Fae, because she could get used to ending every day like this.
After they had both exhausted themselves, both women fell asleep in each other's arms almost instantly. Bo knew that she shouldn't really be staying the night, but she couldn't care less at this moment in time.
Next Morning
Lauren groaned, hearing an annoying ringing sound. Opening her eyes, she saw Bo was fast asleep beside her. She could still hear the ringing. Her eyes followed the sound of the ringing, to see Bo's phone lit up and vibrating on her nightstand.
She reached over to see that it was Kenzi who was calling. "Hang on Kenzi, I'll get Bo…" Lauren answered into the phone, before turning to Bo and tapping her on the shoulder. Nothing. "… Bo? Wake up!" She shook her, still nothing. This was getting frustrating now, she was tired and wanted to go back to sleep. The blonde slapped her on the head, making her jump up in a fright.
"WHAT? What happened?!" Bo squinted her eyes around the room, think that there was some kind of danger.
Lauren dropped the phone into her lap, "Take it outside please" she fell back onto her pillow.
Bo blinked a couple of times, adjusting to the morning light. She pulled back the covers, getting up she noticed a robe hanging on the door. She put it on and made her way downstairs, leaving Lauren to sleep. "What's up Kenz?" She had to clear her throat.
"Sorry to interrupt you guys but, we have a job" Kenzi said.
Bo wasn't really up for doing anything today. Lauren had mentioned that it was her day off, the Ash wasn't so evil that he actually did allow her one day off a week. It was disgusting to think that Lauren had to be allowed to have a day off. "Now?" She didn't want to leave.
"I know that you want to spend the day with your lady love, but it's not just any job. The client is an old friend of mine, please Bo I really wanna help him. If you want you can bring the Doc with you, we might need her help" Kenzi hoped saying that would change Bo's mind.
The Succubus thought it over, it would be fun to have Lauren come on a case with her. It would be a new experience for them. "So what's the deal?"
Kenzi smiled on the other end of the phone and bumped her fist in the air. She explained to Bo how her friend Neville works in a posh country club that has been emitting some weird behavior lately. She also explained that a bunch of workers have gone missing, including his cousin.
Bo was intrigued at the fact that the only workers to go missing were illegal immigrants. It made sense, since they weren't in the system. No one would go looking for them. Kenzi suggested that they go undercover in the club, Neville had gotten Kenzi in as a new member of staff.
But Bo would have to find a way in herself. Which got her to thinking, maybe she and Lauren could go undercover together, as a couple. The thought alone gave her butterflies.
She ran upstairs, and into the bedroom. Lauren was laying on her right side, sleeping peacefully. Bo hated to wake her, but they were kind of pressed for time. "Lauren?" She whispered, kneeling on the bed in front of her.
Lauren just mumbled incoherently and kept sleeping. Bo leaned over to kiss her on her forehead. "Babe?" She realized after she said the pet name that it was the first time that she had called her that. But it seemed to do the trick as Lauren opened her eyes.
"What did you do?" Lauren groaned, seeing Bo's look.
"Nothing, but I kind of need your help with something" Bo said.
Lauren yawned, sitting up and bringing the sheet up with her that was covering her naked body. "Of course you do. What is it?" This ought to be good.
"How would you like to go on an undercover mission with me? And before you answer, think of how much fun we had the last time" Bo smiled.
The last time was different, if they hadn't have gone undercover then Kenzi probably would've died from that awful foot soup that she ate. But Lauren had to admit that it was fun to get out of her comfort zone in the lab for a change. "What kind of mission?" she was interested.
Bo perked up, "We would need to go undercover in a swanky country club. As a couple. My cover would look so much better if we both went in married"
Lauren had to laugh, "Bit soon for a marriage proposal isn't it?"
"Ha Ha" Bo joined in on the joke.
"Well, it is my day off. So technically the Ash can't make me do anything today. It was one of the things that he agreed to in my contract…" Lauren said, feeling sad after acknowledging her contract. "… Why do you need me anyway?" She changed the subject.
"Apparently there's some weird stuff going on there, could be Fae related?" Bo raised an eyebrow.
"You can't be sure that it has anything to do with the Fae" Lauren wasn't convinced, things went wrong in the human world everyday. And sometimes the most weirdest things, had nothing to do with the Fae at all.
Bo really wanted her to come, so she needed to be more persuasive. "You can't be sure that it doesn't either. Come on, wouldn't it be nice to get out for once, together? We wouldn't have to hide, no one would even know us"
Lauren contemplated Bo's offer, she couldn't deny that it did sound very appealing and knowing what Bo and Kenzi got up to on their cases, it would most definitely be eventful. Plus if it was Fae related and Lauren helped, that would score her some points with the Ash. That she could then use in her favor later.
Bo was pouting her lips, giving her best puppy dog face to try and sway her. Lauren rolled her eyes, "Fine, just let me get dressed…" She kissed her on the lips and pulled back the covers to get up. Before reaching the bathroom door, Lauren looked over her shoulder. "… You do know that you won't be able to wear leather, right?" she pointed out.
Bo was aware, she wasn't happy about it but everyone has to make sacrifices. "I know, but now I have nothing to wear" She admitted sadly.
Lauren chuckled, "You can borrow something from me" She nodded her head to her closet, stepping inside the bathroom and closing the door behind her.
Turning her phone back on, Bo dialed her best friend's number. "Hey it's me. She's in" Her smiled was holding strong.
Clubhouse (1 Hour Later)
After they had showered. Lauren helped Bo pick out something conservative to wear. Bo didn't really want to be in something that would make her uncomfortable, so she opted for a black fitted pantsuit.
Bo didn't know that she was capable of looking so prim and proper in a suit. She was almost looking, dare she say it? Normal? But she has to admit, she liked it. Lauren herself had gone for a grey pencil skirt with a matching blazer.
They both looked good.
Bo drove them back to the Clubhouse where Kenzi had also changed into her new uniform, provided by Neville. She wasn't happy that she had to pose as staff, but as long as she could help her friend then she didn't care.
Kenzi came downstairs all dressed, and eyed Bo and Lauren as they walked in. "Wow Bo-Bo, you clean up nice. You too Doc" she really meant it.
"I know right?" Bo replied, she couldn't get over how good she looked. Lauren just said thank you. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Bo turned to Kenzi, "Expecting someone?"
Kenzi smiled sheepishly. "Yeah, about that…" She stood awkwardly. "… I had to ask for Hale's help, you know for the new identities for us" Her nervousness was showing through, she wasn't very good at this.
"And?" Bo had a feeling that there was more to it than that.
"… And he kinda mentioned it to D-man, so he decided to tag along" Kenzi bowed her head, finally finishing her sentence.
"Great, just great" Bo sighed, running her hands through her hair in frustration.
Lauren didn't know what to say, this could go very badly for her. But she was going to remain calm, she placed her hand on Bo's arm. "It's okay, he doesn't know anything. Right?" She turned to Kenzi.
Who then shook her head. "Nope, old Wolfman isn't the sharpest tool in the box" she tried to lighten the mood.
"Okay, let's do this" Bo clapped her hands together. She could get through this, it was just Dyson. Even though he was the one person who hated Lauren. For what reason, she didn't know.
Kenzi went to open the door, letting the men inside. "Hey dudes" She gave Hale a high five, and watched as Dyson side stepped them without a word.
Once he entered the room, his eyes instantly fell onto Lauren. Kenzi had mentioned to Hale that she was helping with the case, Hale didn't understand exactly why, but he knew that Lauren and Bo were friends so why wouldn't she want to help?
When Dyson had heard that Lauren was involved with the case, his suspicions grew. More to the fact at why Bo wouldn't ask him instead. To Dyson, Lauren didn't bring anything to the table. Not in the way that he could. "Bo, you look…" He took in her new outfit. "… Different" he smiled.
"I kinda like it" Bo knew what he was getting at.
Hale stepped forward, approaching Bo and Lauren. "Looking good Doc, here's your new Identity. To be honest I didn't really have to change much with your info, your credentials are more than impressive" He was such a schmoozer.
Lauren took the papers from Hale and smiled. "Thanks Hale" She always got along with Hale more than Dyson. He was more laid back and friendlier.
"Bo, these are yours. Oh and Doc? Hope you don't mind that you're taking Bo's last name, it was easier since D comes before L" Hale said.
Lauren could only smirk to herself as she read the name, Dr. Lauren Dennis. "Not at all, whatever makes the process smoother" she said.
Bo had to giggle as Kenzi handed her their fake silver wedding rings. She looked at the rings in her hand, wondering what it would be like to be married someday. Not to mention what it would be like being married to Lauren.
Dyson watched in jealousy as Bo handed the Doctor a ring. Something wasn't right.
Once they had put them on, Bo gave her Girlfriend a wink.
"I now pronounce you fake wives. Yay!" Kenzi joked, clapping her hands.
"Does the Ash know that you're helping out with this?" Dyson looked directly at Lauren, he had to be a dick and bring it up.
Lauren was expecting this though, she just kept her expression plain and gave the shifter the smallest smile that she could muster. "It's my day off, what I do today is my business. Not his, and certainly not yours" she wasn't taking any crap from him.
Bo was so hot for her right now. She loved to see Lauren standing up for herself.
"Not to be rude, but don't you think that it would be better if you and I went undercover" Dyson spoke to Bo. That wasn't rude at all was it?
"And why would it be better?" Bo frowned.
"Hale told me that you think that this might be Fae related, I can help" He was right, he could help.
But Bo didn't want his help. "I appreciate the offer Dyson. But if this does turn out to be Fae related, then Lauren can tell me what kind it is, how they feed and how dangerous they are. All you can tell me is if it is Fae. You can't tell me the rest. Can you?" she challenged him.
Dyson was surprised by Bo's answer. "I suppose not. Well good luck then. I'll catch you later Hale" He tapped his partner on the back and began walking out of the house.
Kenzi couldn't help but think that was kind of brutal, but he had it coming with the Ash comment. Sometimes, Dyson was just a prick for no reason. Maybe he didn't even realise that he was doing it.
"Let's hit the road" Bo took Lauren's hand and led her out to Hale's black SUV. He told Kenzi that it would be okay to use. All for the good of the mission.
Once they were outside, before Lauren could walk to the car, Bo grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a quick kiss. "What was that for?" Lauren pulled away.
The succubus smiled. "Can't I kiss my Wife?" she knew that it wasn't real, but as long as they were undercover then she was going to milk it for all it was worth.
Lauren laughed, "Fake Wife"
Bo shrugged, rolling her eyes. "Technicality" they kissed again, this time for longer. They pulled away, resting their foreheads together. Bo could see herself loving married life, especially if she lived it with Lauren.
"Oh crap, I forgot my purse. I'll be right back" Lauren pecked her on the cheek, letting go of her hand as she walked back into the house.
Bo smiled to herself as she watched her walk away.
"Didn't figure you for the pantsuit type?"
But her smile instantly faded as she heard the familiar voice. Turning around she saw Saskia staring at her. "Whatever you want Saskia, I'm not interested" She wasn't doing this again, this woman was nothing but trouble.
"Aw come on babe, I don't like the way that we fell out. I'm heading to this sick party downtown, it'll be like a Succubus buffet. Come with me!" Saskia grabbed her hands, trying to drag her away.
Bo shook her off. "Sorry, I'm busy"
Saskia scoffed. "With your human Barbie Doll?" she nodded to the house. Saskia had watched their interaction before making her entrance. "She's pretty, I could see myself having some fun with her"
Bo stepped into Saskia's personal space. "Too bad, because that's never going to happen. I mean it Saskia, I don't want you anywhere near her" She stared into her eyes.
"Oh wow! You've fallen for a human? Lamest Succubus ever! See you around" Saskia laughed in her face, then walked off.
Bo didn't know what to make of that encounter. She turned around when she heard Lauren ask who that woman was. "No one, she was just looking for directions" she hid her lie with a smile.
Lauren seemed to buy it. "Shall we Mrs. Dennis?" She extended her hand.
Bo grabbed it and walked to the car. "We shall, Dr. Dennis" Once they were in the car, Bo drove off to the country club.
The Dahl
Trick was just serving a customer when he saw Dyson walk through the door. "What will it be? The usual, or something stronger?" He asked, seeing Dyson's tortured expression. He didn't know what was wrong but he figured that it had something to do with Bo, everything did these days.
"Whiskey, and make it a double" The Wolf took up a seat at the bar.
"Care to explain your sudden mood?" Trick began pouting the whiskey into a small glass.
"I think that there's something going on between Bo and Lauren" Dyson took the offers drink, swallowing it down in one gulp. He was going to need a whole lot more than just one glass, he tapped the glass and slid it back over to Trick.
Trick could only lour at his words. If that was true, then it wouldn't end well for either of them. Especially Lauren, she was a ward of the Ash. "What makes you think that?" he wondered.
"Well among other things, they're going undercover as a married couple as we speak" Dyson said.
"It could be completely innocent" That didn't mean anything to Trick. Bo went undercover on cases all of the time, it just so happened that this time Lauren was tagging along.
Dyson shook his head in disbelief. "No, I saw the way that Bo looked at her. It was anything but innocent..." He'd realized that maybe he had blown his chances with Bo. "… And if there is something going on, it's kind of your fault!
"My fault? How did you come up with that?" Trick frowned, he didn't like the tone of Dyson's voice right now.
"You were the one who told me to break things off with her. If I hadn't we'd probably be together now. And Lauren would be in the lab where she belongs" The Wolf took another large gulp of his whiskey.
Yes Trick had told Dyson not to pursue a relationship with Bo. But at the end of the day, Bo was her own person. If she really liked Dyson that much, then she would have held out hope for him to come around. But she didn't, and that didn't mean that it was Trick's fault. It just meant that Lauren was worth more to her. And he wasn't going to let a jealous Wolf blame him for Bo making up her mind.
"I understand that you care for her, but if there is something between Bo and Lauren, maybe you should be the bigger person and let them be" Trick said.
Dyson scoffed. "Bigger person? Lauren is human Trick, they have no future. Not to mention she can't sustain Bo's needs, where as I can" he pointed out.
That was also true, but if Trick had learnt anything in the last few months of knowing Bo, it was that she always dedicated herself to the people she cared about. And once her mind was made up, that was it.
"Maybe I should let the Ash now that his precious human doctor is breaking Fae rules. That would put a kink in their relationship" Dyson spat maliciously.
Trick had listened to enough of his childish attitude. "Know this Dyson, if you do anything to sabotage their relationship. It will not end well for you" He warned him.
"Bo wouldn't hurt me" The Wolf chuckled.
"Maybe not, but if you hurt my Granddaughter. I will. I suggest that you heed this warning. Maybe it's best that you leave and cool off" Trick wasn't having this, Bo didn't know about his true identity or his relation to her. But he was going to defend her no matter what.
Dyson looked at his friend, now realizing that he was acting like a jealous ex-boyfriend. He had no say in Bo's life, what she did with it was her choice. His ego was just hurt that she had chosen a human over him. But there was more to it than that.
He left the bar, walking into the cool refreshing air. Dyson made his way into a nearby empty alley and began to shed his clothes as he started to shift into his animal form. Once he had fully transformed into his wolf self, the shifter sprinted off into the backstreets. Dyson thought that maybe a run would clear his head.
He just hoped that was all he needed.
Queens's Dale Country Club (3 Hours Later)
It wasn't long after they arrived at the club that they had made themselves members. The manager, who went by the name of Mitch, was very impressed with Bo and Lauren's credentials.
Lauren's were all valid, where Bo's were all fiction. Hale had given Bo the cover job of working with the UN. And her College background was Harvard. Which in turn earned a glare from Lauren who still believed that Yale was the best.
Bo and Lauren walked hand in hand as Mitch gave them a tour of the club, it was nice to be together in a public setting without having to hide their relationship. Although Bo was still a bit shaken by Saskia's unexpected visit.
After what happened with the Alabaster, she didn't think that she would see her again. At least not for a while.
Kenzi had taken up her role in the Kitchen, she would constantly complain about how she wasn't cut out for menial labour. She was also proving to be a bad staff member too. In the hours that she had worked here, Kenzi had already smashed some plates and glasses, and spilt a tray of drinks on the Manager's Wife.
Safe to say it wasn't going well. But she had found out that the club actually does employ immigrants and that nearly all of them have disappeared. Kenzi had also informed Mrs & Dr. Dennis that Neville mentioned that there was woman named Blake who liked to gossip a lot.
Bo thought it best to start with her. If Blake really was the gossip Queen that Neville said she was, then surely she would have some juicy dirt on some of the members.
Once Bo and Lauren had introduced themselves, Blake took a liking to them and accepted their offer to give them the run down on the place. Bo had quickly learned that the club members had a secret for making each other rich and successful.
That statement itself posed more questions than it answered.
Lauren also thought that it was a bit weird herself. Blake also mentioned that the more elite members, that were spear headed by Mitch and his wife Chloe, had a little party every other night that was invite only. Bo bet Lauren that she could get them in without one.
Which led them to now, Bo and Lauren where both sitting in a hot tub. It turned out the party was a party party. Both women had to change into bikinis, otherwise they would look silly getting into a hot tub in their dresses.
Lauren didn't get a good vibe from Mitch, especially the way that he was always eyeing up Bo. She floated over to Bo in the hot tub and leaned into her ear. "Hey babe, I would say that Mitch is trying to cover up something" she whispered.
Bo looked at Mitch who had jumped into the tub, looking her up and down like she was a piece of meat. And he was also modelling a very unflattering speedo. "Baby, he isn't covering up enough" She kissed her on the cheek. She also noticed that Chloe was always staring at Lauren, it was taking every ounce of self-control not to knock her teeth out.
After some trays of food were served, everyone vacated the tub. "You two are very ballsy, if I may say so. You did show up uninvited after all, but don't worry. We really admire that about you. We can tell that you're our type of people" Chloe was still gazing over to Lauren.
"And what kind of people would that be?" Bo asked. She suddenly felt hot and flustered as everyone surrounded them. The sexual energy around them was getting to her. Since being with Lauren, Bo hadn't fed at all. Her last full feed was with Dyson and that wasn't going to happen again.
"Free spirits, up for anything" Chloe reached for Bo's hands.
"And to us, discretion is key" Mitch winked at Lauren who just kept her smile.
Looking at Bo, Lauren could see that she was struggling to hold her resolve. She needed to act fast, "As much as we would love to stay, I have an early surgery in the morning" She placed a calming hand on Bo's arm.
"Yes, sorry. Next time maybe" Bo held her Girlfriend's hand and led her back into the building to retrieve their clothes. The drive back to the Clubhouse was silent. Bo just gripped the steering wheel as she drove down the narrow road.
Clubhouse
Bo felt so ashamed, she didn't want to feel this way but it was who she was. Once they reached her room, she took her shoes off and threw them across the room in frustration. Why couldn't she just be normal? Why did she had to fight this inner struggle, when she didn't ask for it?
"Bo, it's okay" Lauren placed her purse on the nightstand, then slipped off her own shoes.
Sitting down on the bed, Bo looked at her incredulously. She could read Lauren's body language. "How can you be so understanding?" She asked.
Lauren dropped down onto the bed next to her, sighing loudly. "Because I should've seen this coming"
"What do you mean?" Bo didn't understand.
She really didn't want to talk about this now, Lauren just shook her head. "It doesn't matter"
Bo wasn't having that. She cupped the blonde's cheek with her left hand, turning her back around. "Of course it matters, please. Talk to me" she spoke quietly.
"I'm not enough for you Bo. And I never will be. I can't sustain you like other Fae can, like Dyson can" Lauren bowed her head, her eyes suddenly welling up.
"I don't want Dyson, or anyone else. I only want you. End of story…" Bo captured her lips softly, how could she want someone else after being this happy? "… Lauren, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. I'm not letting you go anytime soon" She kissed her again.
"I love you" Lauren said.
"I love you too" Bo brought her in for a loving hug. She loved to hear her heartbeat, that and she relished in her scent.
Lauren smiled, pulling back. "I should get to that lab and finish analyzing that stuff that we found" When they were walking around the grounds of the club earlier, Bo and Lauren came across a vat of an awful smelling sludge, Lauren thought that it was strange that it was in the middle of nowhere.
But Bo found it even stranger that it had bits of discarded clothing swimming around in it. "Do you want me to come with you?" Any excuse not to be without her.
Lauren shook her head. "No, hopefully my lab techs have finished testing it by now. So I'll call you later with the results" She kissed her on the lips gently.
"Okay, love you" Bo couldn't stop herself from saying it.
After another small peck, Lauren stood from the bed. "Love you too, bye" With that, she left the room and then the house.
Bo was glad that they could talk openly about serious things. Succubi had to feed on chi to survive, but Lauren was human, which meant that if Bo fed off of her then she would get very weak, very fast.
Now that they were together, Bo couldn't imagine ever being with anyone else. Although she didn't necessarily need to sleep with someone to feed, she could just take their chi from them. And she wouldn't even have to kiss them completely, she was willing to do whatever it took to make their relationship work.
She wasn't giving up.
Light Fae Compound (2 Hours Later)
When Lauren arrived at the lab, one of her nurses had handed her the results from the substance that she and Bo had found at the club. The substance contained different strands of Human DNA, plus a huge amount of Fae cells too. It didn't take Lauren long to figure out that this substance was actually the waste of whatever creature it was.
The blonde did some testing of her own on the goo, which then led her to find out what type of Fae it was, a Land White. Although they were not normally violent in nature, they do whatever they have to, to protect the land that they own.
But Lauren did notice that this Land White wasn't light Fae, there was no record of it in her database, which meant that it was Dark.
Lauren called Bo straight away, who had gone back to the club to do a little recon. Bo understood and thought it was best to confront Mitch and see what he had to say. It turned out that he knew all about it, and that the Land White was feeding on humans.
Furthermore, that he and the other members actually served those humans up as offerings to the creature. So that the Land White would grant them prosperity and luck. Bo was disgusted. It amazed her what some people would do for a few extra dollars and to get ahead.
The succubus felt bad for the people who had lost their lives because of this monster, she needed to take it down and fast. Kenzi had already received two strikes on her employee file, which made her panic, since all of the workers with three strikes or less were the ones being sacrificed.
Bo asked her Girlfriend if she had any idea who the Land White could be, since they could shift into human form, it could be anyone. Lauren suggested anyone who had the most interest in the club's garden and everything it contains.
Kenzi thought that it might be the creepy groundskeeper that had been staring at her all day, but after Bo confronted him, he was oblivious to what she was talking about. Which led Bo to believe that it was Amy, the head chef.
The Succubus rushed to the kitchen where she had just sent Kenzi to warn everyone. Upon arrival she saw that Amy was about to devour Kenzi just like she did to the others. Amy never made it out of the kitchen alive, but it wasn't at Bo's hands for a change, it was by the humans that the Land White prayed on.
Bo took Kenzi and vacated the kitchen, leaving the humans to give Amy a taste of her own medicine.
Neville had a hard time wrapping his head around what he saw. But he didn't think anyone would believe him if he said anything. At least there was that. Lauren was now on the phone to Bo, she was glad to hear that everything worked out okay. "Are you staying at the lab a bit longer?" Bo asked.
"Actually I was just heading home, why?" Lauren walked down the street from the compound. Since her apartment was on Light Fae territory, she only had to walk down the street to get home.
"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to get some dinner. I can pick some up and be at your place in fifteen?" Bo wanted to spend the night with her.
Dinner sounded great to Lauren right now. "That sounds amazing!"
Bo laughed into the phone. "Pick your poison, Chinese, Pizza, Thai?" she wondered what her Girlfriend would like more.
"Surprise me" Lauren couldn't decide.
"Okay, I'll see you soon. Love you" Bo wasn't going stop saying it.
Lauren smiled into her phone. "I love you too, see you in a bit" She hung up, reaching her front door. Stepping inside she set her keys and purse down on the end table next to the front door. She was happy to be home after such a long day.
She was about to walk over to the kitchen when there was a knock at the door. 'That was fast' She thought, thinking that it was Bo with their dinner. Opening the door, Lauren came face to face with a beautiful brunette. "Hi, can I help you?" She smiled.
The brunette smirked, licking her lips as her eyes turned a seductive Blue. "You must be Lauren. I'm Saskia" She stepped inside the apartment, pushing Lauren further in and closed the door behind her.
