A/N: So I know this chapter is just a filler somewhat but I want to concentrate really quick on Tamsin and Athena I mean who wouldn't want to get to know their daughter? And even though Tamsin asked for Bo's attention at this point she hadn't known that Athena was coming so yea sorry about the yet to be Valkubus but it will come :P anyways I hope you guys like this chapter a little more and give me a few ideas and I am still looking for a Betareader so I'm sorry about the grammar and such! D: But don't hate me I'm trying I've been going over this chapter a lot before posting it. So my apologies for any that I didn't find and not fix.
Disclaimer: I don't own LG D;
Tamsin decided she'd hold off on the date with Bo she knew that there would be a chance to be given to the Succubus but she needed time with her daughter and that was her main priority of course. "So there goes the change of plans what are we doing tonight?" At this point her and Athena had left the Dal and spend a little a lone time together evern though they have tomorrow as well since they had to clear out the house Mark left behind for her. "Alone time I knew I have that date but I want to make sure we're both comfortable with this," Athena only nodded "you're very sure you want me to give up that house? I mean it's far and I don't mind moving or anything if it means a lot to you Athena."
Athena only shook her head with a smile "It's fine really," she looked to Tamsin with a grin "I know your new to this 'mother' stuff but you don't have to stress and I know you mention it's a bit dangerous to be here mind filling me in on this?"
Tamsin sighed "I know I can't hide you and your grown up enough Athena but,"
"Don't pull the 'it's my problem' bullshit your my mother and I'm not leaving I barely got here and I'm going to help wether you like it or not."
Tamsin chuckled and knew for sure that Athena's was her, both having the same attitude when it came to situations, she looked to Athena "Okay Sparky," she smirked "I pissed off the wrong people that's the gist of it, anyways the Succubus you met back at the Dal she was my mark and I had didn't turn her in and now Odin is trying to get her."
"You fell for her didn't you?" Athena grinned "Its okay to fall in love you know that right?"
Tamsin smiled and knew she'd gotten that part from Mark he was a great warrior and wasn't cold hearted it amazed her that he even became a well known Valkyrie "I didn't know that till now but he's after her and I made a mess of things I don't want to leave with the mess I help leave." Athena nodded "Though I was thinking to leave a long time ago the Succubus has a Wolf and Doctor dotting after her and I don't want to be doing the same shit."
Athena sighed "I doubt she wants them but she does care for them and I know your great friends with the wolf but you might want to watch for him he still loves that Succubus."
"I know and I'm starting to think he might be better for her than I am," she shrugged "but I didn't wreck a wedding to give up this easily."
"You're a Valkyrie and we don't give up easily even if it's love we're fighting for,"
Tamsin smiled proudly at Athena "I'm glad I left you with Ariana and Mark they did a great job of raising you,"
"You know you had a role in it too." Tamsin rose a brow confusingly at Athena and knew that she had no part in Athena's life she hadn't been there since after the birth of her daughter. "They always told me how great you are, how strong you are, brave, and caring, and just how giving you are." Tamsin scoffed making Athena laughed "Why did you do that?"
"Unlike your parents," Tamsin shoved her hands in her pockets both had decided to walk to the Crack Shack since she didn't have a ride but either way Tamsin would have gone walking wanting to see the night sky and clear her mind. Looking up to the sky and to Athena "I'm cold hearted I never cared I was the one for the bloodshed"
"No you were being a Valkyrie," Athena smiled "and you don't sound like any of those from what I saw at the Dal and from what I see now. I know you've lived longer than Mark and you've done things but thats your past when are you going to get over that and move one? I knew it took Mark a long while and I know it'll take you awhile but starting sooner or later will help because you've got this family that cares unconditionally for you and you have me now."
"Well damn you sound older than me," Athena laughed at Tamsin's remark "well you sound like your father and I'll try but you just have to push every now and then I'm not use to all this family shit."
Athena just smirked "I see that," she looked to the truck as they came in it was customized just for Tamsin, the color of the truck was blood red, rims are a deep dish but made for off rode, and it had extentions making the truck a little high off the ground, and it was a brand new 2014 chevy.
"Holy shit," Tamsin looked at the truck as if it was heaven to her "I think I'm gonna cry this is just fucking amazing."
Athena shrugged slightly she had her first car of course but she was more of muscle care kind of person and she had gotten that from Ariana, but the truck was nice and it fit Tamsin perfectly, it's intimidating, big, strong, tall, and it stands proudly. "Mark thought it fit you well and I think it does,"
"Well let's go I want to take it for a spin and well show you a place," they both got into the truck and not before stopping to get a pack of beers and Tamsin took them to the same open place that she took Kenzi. "this place stays between us okay? The only ones that know about this is Kenzi and Acacia." Athena nodded as Tamsin had parked in the middle of the field and brought the door of the bed down and took out two beers as they sat down. "Tell me about you Athena I know I missed a lot," and for that Tamsin felt guilty but with the troubles she had, she stayed away to keep them safe.
"Well," Athena didn't know where to start but from the beginning from her fourth birthday "when I turned four the greatest present I got was from Mark I wasn't surprised at what he got for me but who's it use to be. It was a sword of course carved of the best steel and unbreakable he told me it was your first sword from your first battle and I was kind of curious how he got it."
Tamsin just chuckled "He must have gotten it from Acacia if she knew about you then I knew she gave it to him for him to give to you. Maybe so you could have some part of me."
"Well that bitch is nice for once," the both laughed "well my fifth birthday I started training in Valhalla with Acacia and stayed till my sixteen birthday and that's when Mark decided to come get me and trained me on earth." Tamsin nodded "He told me everything about Valkyries and what I needed to know and more about each species basically just schooled me on everything. Then on my seventeen birthday I spent it hunting with him and Ariana it was a blast living with them I wasn't spoiled and Acacia always came to visit to make sure I wasn't straying from training. On my eighteen birthday well you know most of it I finally took a vacation away from everyone and went surfing in Hawaii and I came home to find out my parents we're murdered."
It stung Tamsin a bit to hear it but it was there though she was happy the way Mark and Ariana raised her with Tamsin she would have been on the run all the time. "I'm sorry,"
"It's fine but when I find the bastard that killed them," Athena strayed and took a big gulp of the beer "you'll help me won't you?"
"I'll help you find him but you know killing him won't bring them back," Tamsin stated and looked to Athena "I know it hurts to have someone taken from you and killing them may make you feel like you've done good for them. In the end though it doesn't do you much good to kill him giving him to the light fae and letting them decided his fate is justice."
Athena clenched her jaw knowing it was true "What if they don't give him what they deserve?"
"Killing light fae? They'll definetly kill him but you killing him will get you into trouble Athena and I gave you away to Ariana and Mark because I know you'd be safe and happy, but I get this chance to make something out of it and I'm not going to loose you so easily and I know Mark wouldn't want you to go off looking for trouble."
Athena nodded "Fine your the detective you'll be on the case right?" Tamsin nodded "You'll find him right?"
"I will and I'll make sure he gets what he deserves after all Ariana and Mark do mean something to me as well," she looked to the sky "we should get going I have the case to work on and you have to get your things tomorrow."
"Okay," they both jumped down and closed the back of the bed "that girl, Kenzi, not that I care why was she in the Dal?"
"She's claimed by the Succubus but she's not her pet they're basically sisters," Tamsin stated firing up the truck and riding off onto the rode "why?"
Athena shook her head "No I just have this feeling about her,"
Tamsin smirked and knew the feeling Athena was talking about "Don't worry you'll figure it out sooner or later," she took the route heading back to the Dal and figured Bo and Kenzi might need a ride home "maybe you can ask her to help you pack up what you need from the house tomorrow and take my truck."
"Sounds like a plan there's going to be a lot anyways,"
"Well you might want to go house hunting first,"
"Aren't you the adult?"
"The adult that has to work and it's not complicated,"
Athena scrunched up her nose cutely just how Tamsin did at times "Fine I think I know a good place and one a few blocks down from the Dal,"
The older Valkyrie just smirked "Good then you might want to take the Succubus with you as well,"
"You owe me for this," Athena huffed having already done so much in one day she didn't want to do much the next day "seriously I just wanted to lay back tomorrow."
Tamsin just laughed "There's none of that in this town, this place will always have you on your toes," she sighed and a thought came to her ehad "have you been training for your Dawning?"
"Yes Mark likes to make sure I'm ready and so does Acacia,"
"I think I have someone who could I just have to speak with Trick tomorrow," Tamsin parked the rather large truck at the end of the street "let's go see what happened while we we're gone." They walked into the Dal and it was like usal though Dyson and Bo we're at a pool table laughing it up and it made her a little jealous then she turned to find the Goth at the bar talking to Trick. Both Valkyries went to go sit down "Hey Trick I need a favor,"
"What do you need?"
Athena yawned and was sitting on the right side of Kenzi "So what do you do around here for fun?"
Kenzi shrug "After a long days of work everyone just comes to play pool and drink at the Dal," they're wasn't much to it but it was always fun getting drunk off her ass "well drinking all of Trickster's stuff here and it's pretty fun."
Athena shook her head and took a drink from Kenzi's cup "You drink like your fae,"
Kenzi smirked havign heard that a couple of times "You could say I'm considered one,"
Tamsin looked at Kenzi and Athena hitting it off easily and shook her head with a smile "Anyways Mark had Athena training for her Dawning and I want to keep that going I know Acacia and I can deal with the Valkyrie stuff I just want her to be trained in the basics."
Trick looked to Athena "Well I'll tell you one thing she looks pretty trained though I will give Stella a call that way Athena won't get rusty on her training."
Tamsin smiled "Thanks where's Acacia at?"
"In my den said she had to look up a few things conserning this problem we are having with Bo's father," Tamsin nodded "you're going to be sticking around Valkyrie?"
Tamsin chuckled "Don't worry Bloodking I made a mess and I'm not leaving till it's clean up and I really don't want to uproot Athena either she might be old enough but she needs to be settled and why not here? I've been here awhile now."
Trick nodded and looked to Bo "She's different like her grandmother,"
Tamsin turned around her back to the bar and elbows propped up "Just like her grandmother do yout hink she can handle the shit storm that's going to come?" she wasn't doubting Bo only scared that whatever Dark power her father was going to bring with him could take the Bo everyone knew with him.
"I know she will be able to but like every situation it's different," Trick stated and looked to the Valkyrie "what about you are you going to finally let yourself Tamsin?"
Tamsin shook her head "Your in on this to Bloodking?" he only nods "I don't know but I know I want to be by her side and I know if she dies I couldn't bear to be without her right now though could I really make that bond? I finally have my daughter back."
Trick sighed only if they knew what he kenw "You'll both live we've always gotten through times like this Tamsin,"
"Out of luck but will it happen again?" Tamsin sighed as her eys fell upon the people she claimed her family Kenzi, her momz, Athena, her daughter, Dyson, her wolf best friend, Bo, her love, and Lauren, well a very complicated relationship. "We'll find out soon though," Trick just nodded "soon..." she murmured and sighed.
