A/N: Hello all. Just wanted to say that you are all so amazing. The support and love that you guys have left in your messages honestly moves me. So thank your for that. As for the family member that decided to hurt me, they will no longer be apart of my life. Because I am old enough to know that being around someone like that isn't good for me, and life is too short to spend it hating someone.

So I have dealt with it, shown them the door, and I've moved on. We have a saying in my family, 'Quel che è fatto, è fatto'. Which basically means, 'What's done is done'.

I wish them the best in life and hold no grudges, and believe me that wasn't easy because all Italians do is hold grudges! Lol!

So thank you guys again for the support and lovely messages. You're awesome!

P.S. I have thought about maybe rewriting 'Breathe Again'. Because when I first wrote that, there was another way that it could have gone and I was sad that I didn't get to try it out. But only if you guys want me to, otherwise I won't. Let me know. X

….

Chapter 9: Rattling The Cage

Bianca's Manor

For the last half hour, Lauren and been showing Bianca what she had missed for past two thousand years. She had poured various alcoholic beverages, telling the brunette to try them all.

"Okay, this one next…" she pushed a shot of tequila over to the succubus, along with some salt and a slice of lime.

Bianca looked down at the items, she had seen Bo drink these when she was trapped inside her body. But she could never taste it, the only thing that was connected to Bo was her sight. Other than that she felt nothing.

"… Watch me" Lauren licked some salt off her hand, then took the shot letting the liquid burn her throat. And then she sucked on the lime, the blonde's face scrunched up at the taste of the sourness.

"That didn't look pleasant" the brunette was a little scared now.

Lauren laughed, "It takes a while to get used to, but you'll like it. Trust me" her smile alone was enough for Bianca to jump in.

The succubus repeated her actions, almost spitting her drink out once she knocked it back. It tasted awful. But she was never one to back away from a challenge, so she swallowed it down and then sucked on the lime.

For the first time, Lauren was actually having some fun. She thought that she was going to be treated as Bianca's slave. But in actuality, the brunette wanted to treat her better than that. Way better. She didn't know what she felt at this point, but an all day drinking session was right up her alley.

"That was dreadful" Bianca touched her lips, feeling the sharp sting.

"I thought that you were supposed to be this big bad Queen. And yet you're whining about a little alcohol. Grow a pair" Lauren was channeling her inner Kenzi, she grabbed another glass.

"Grow a pair? A pair of what?" The succubus frowned, that didn't make any sense to her.

The blonde shook her head, this was too much to explain. She just handed the succubus another drink, telling her that it would be nicer. Bianca took a sip, she expected it to be as horrible as the last but to her surprise it was actually delicious.

"I like this one, what is it?" She asked.

"That, is Vodka and Cranberry juice…" Lauren watched as Bianca drank it, she couldn't understand how she looked exactly like Bo. Everything was the same, features, eyes, lips, ears. Everything.

The succubus could feel the eyes on her. "What?" She asked.

"… Nothing, it's just. How can two people look so much alike, and yet be so different?" The human let out. She just didn't understand it.

Bianca smiled, she didn't really want to talk about Bo. She wanted Lauren to try and forget about that selfish child. But to be honest, she couldn't answer her question either. "That I cannot answer. But other than our looks, we have nothing in common" she said.

"Except your choice of women" the blonde chuckled.

"Yes, that is probably the only thing that I will commend her on. Other than that though, I despise her" the brunette drank more of her cocktail.

Lauren took another shot of tequila, she was going to need it for asking her next question. "Why do you hate her so much?"

Bianca sighed, "That is the million dollar question isn't it? Hate, is a strong word. Using the term Despise, fits better. I watched her treat you like trash for years, I'm not saying that she was completely to blame. After all, I did witness the first night that you were together. And her heart did break" she said.

The blonde bowed her head, she would always feel ashamed for that night. Even though, she didn't really feel like she had done anything wrong. The hurt look of Bo's face made her feel like a piece of shit. "We got passed that"

"Yes, and it seemed to make you stronger as a couple. But it didn't last, Bo always tested your relationship with constant feeding. Again, not her fault. But if I was her, I would rather have starved to death than give into the temptation" the brunette had restraint.

Lauren chuckled. She knew what the succubus was doing, and she wanted to say that it wasn't working but there was something inside of her that wanted more. And she hated that more than anything. "So, you're telling me that when you were with Elena that you didn't feed at all?" She asked.

Bianca nodded, "That's exactly what I am telling you"

The blonde shook her head in disbelief. "No, that's not possible. You're a succubus, you need to feed on chi to survive. And being half witch—"

"Warlock" the succubus corrected her.

"Okay, being half Warlock would just magnify your hunger. All of that contained power, must be a burden on your body at times" Lauren knew from experience, that the more powerful the Fae, the more that they needed to feed.

Bianca finished the rest of her drink, shrugging slightly. "Well it hasn't been fun, to be perfectly honest. But i dealt with it, what else was I supposed to do. Whine about it?" She snorted.

"So, basically your motto is to not cry over spilled milk?" The blonde frowned.

The succubus didn't understand that sentence. "What? Why would I shed a tear over a spilt beverage?" She asked.

Lauren burst out laughing, this was very tasking. Bianca was so behind the times, it was unreal. "God, you are old! It's another expression, never mind. Just forget that I said anything…" She took another shot of tequila. The brunette was impossible to talk to.

"I apologise if my vernacular is not up to scratch. It has been two thousand years" the brunette poured herself another drink. She saw a bottle that said Sambuca, she had never heard of that but she was open minded.

Lauren quickly snatched the glass away from her. "I would advise against this one" she placed to the side. She hated Sambuca, it was very sickly.

Bianca held her hands up, "I trust your judgment. So, what next?" She asked.

The blonde was a little tipsy, in fact she was probably two more tequila shots away from being floored. "Well, I don't think that I should have anymore. Just in case I vomit, but you can try whatever you want. Just stay away from the Sambuca, trust me" she said.

As soon as Lauren stood, she almost fell over instantly. Luckily, Bianca flashed righted beside her, catching her before she hurt herself. "Are you alright?" She asked.

The blonde smiled, yep she was definitely drunk. "Tequila always goes straight to my head, I'm not that much of a drinker to be honest" she straightened her posture.

"Then why do all of this?" The succubus looked down to the many drinks and bottles.

"I was just trying to get you to come out of your Dark shell. You know, you're not so bad when you're not talking about ruling and killing people" Lauren smiled tiredly.

Bianca didn't have anything to say to that, she just chuckled. "Let's get you to bed, you need to sleep this off..." she would have flashed them into the blonde's room but she feared that it would make Lauren sick. So she walked her slowly to her room.

Once there, she helped Lauren into the bed. "… If you need anything just call me" she tucked her in.

Lauren had to laugh at that. "Call you? Have you forgotten how massive this house is? I'll lose my voice before you even hear me" she slurred.

"Trust me, just call my name and I'll hear you. I promise" the brunette smiled, within a couple of seconds. The blonde was fast asleep, all of that alcohol had really done the trick. Bianca couldn't help but look at her, reaching out to touch her cheek. She was so still, it was breathtaking.

She couldn't lose her.

Lauren's Condo

Since the heated argument with Dyson and Tamsin, Bo had been driving around the city. Not knowing where she was going, but she couldn't stay in the Clubhouse after what she did. She basically attacked her friends because she was feeling sorry for herself. She was so quick to blame other people, when the majority of the blame was on herself.

The brunette knew that the only place that she could go was back to Lauren's apartment. She knew that coming here was just making her worse, but she also needed to be close to anything of Lauren's. Her apartment still smelt like her.

And strangely enough, that was the only thing that was keeping Bo from tipping of the edge.

She decided that she wanted to take a shower, maybe it would help her feel a little better. The succubus locked the door behind her, placing the latch on just in case anyone felt like stopping by. She wanted to be alone right now.

Clubhouse

Kenzi was starting to panic now. Bo had been gone for over an hour, and she hadn't called or texted. Trick had turned up in the meantime, when Kenzi had called him she ranted on about what happened. He still had yet to know the whole story.

"So, she just stormed off? Without saying where she was going?" The barkeep asked.

"Pretty much. And I don't know why you're getting your thong in a bunch, we all know where she's gone…" Tamsin thought that it was obvious. Clearly not to Dyson and Trick. "… Duh! She's gone to Lauren's place" she said.

Men were clueless.

"Oh, I suppose that does make sense" Trick nodded.

"I should go and apologise for what I said to her…" Dyson made a move to walk to the door, but was held back by Kenzi's hands on his chest. "… What are you doing?" He asked.

"Don't you get it? If she didn't want us to find her, then she would have gone somewhere that we didn't know about. She's gone to Lauren's, because she wants to be alone. I think that she just needs some time to herself" Kenzi had to make him see that, knowing that Dyson would scamper off to her friend's side.

"She's right. Plus, we don't have anything to apologise for. You think that I'm going to stand there and let her attack me like that?! Hell to the No! If anything, I will be waiting here for her apology to me" Tamsin jumped over the couch, turning the TV on and putting her feet up.

She had done nothing wrong, Bo was just looking for someone to put the blame on. And the blonde wasn't going to be that person.

"Still, I feel bad. I saw the hurt in her eyes after what I said, I was out of line" the wolf felt really guilty for what he had said.

"I know you feel shitty D-man, but to be honest. I think that she needed to hear it" Kenzi sighed, the more that she thought it over the more she knew that all of this was for Bo's own good. She needed to admit her mistakes so that she could move passed them.

"Meaning?" Trick stepped forward.

"Meaning that we can't keep coming to her rescue anymore, she needs to work this thing out for herself. Trust me, I know that this sounds terrible. But she'll thank us for it later. Bo needs to be at her best if she's gonna beat that witch bitch, and she can't do that if she's feeling sorry for herself" Kenzi said.

"So we just leave her to stew? Isn't that a little mean of us?" Dyson asked.

Trick shook his head. He understood what Kenzi was trying to say and he agreed completely. "No, quite the opposite actually. By leaving her alone and giving her the space that she wants, she will have to force herself to get better. To sort through what's really bothering her" he hoped that he was right.

"Which is?" The wolf asked.

"Lauren's absence" Trick said.

Lauren's Condo

Once Bo came out of the shower, she didn't feel better at all. She felt the same as she did from when she went in. Like a sack of shit. For screwing up with Lauren, and for screwing up with her friends.

Who of which were doing everything that they could to help her. They were pulling every connection that they had to help her find Lauren. And what was she doing, trying to pin the blame on them.

Bo sighed, she had found a fresh pile of clothes in Lauren's laundry room. She must have forgotten to take them when she left. The succubus slipped on a pair of the blonde's sweatpants and one of her favourite v-neck t-shirts. Wearing her clothes made Bo feel a little better, not much but it was something.

She needed something more, she needed to hear her voice.

Then she thought about calling her cell phone. Bianca probably made her get rid of it, which meant that it would go straight to voicemail. And that meant that she would hear the blonde's voice. It wasn't the best idea, but again. It was something.

Bo dialled her number, bringing the handset to her ear. It must have rang for about two minutes, and it was a long two minutes. The brunette expected to hear the blonde's voice in the next second but what she heard instead cut through her heart like a knife.

"Lauren's phone. Bianca speaking"

Bo closed her eyes with a sigh, clutching her phone with her hand. If she had tightened her grip anymore then it would have broken in half. "Put Lauren on the phone, now" she didn't raise her voice, but she made sure to state her demand clear.

Bianca's Manor

The Queen chuckled quietly on her end of the phone, she knew that she shouldn't have answered the phone. But she couldn't help it, once she saw Bo's name flash on the screen she had to pick it up.

"Ooh. Such anger in your voice Bo, is this how you treat family?" She asked with a smirk.

"You're not my family! Just put her on the phone" Bo answered.

The older succubus signed, "You know I would, but the thing is she's fast asleep right next to me. Which is why I'm keeping this call quiet" she could imagine the look on Bo's face right now. And she loved it.

Lauren's Condo

Bo shook her head in disbelief, there was no way that Lauren would have slept with her. Not after everything that she told her before she left. "You're lying" she was certain.

"Am I? You know what I love about her when she's like this? The way that her nose scrunches up a little when she's sleeping. It's adorable, wouldn't you agree?" She heard Bianca laugh on the other end. And she wanted to rip her head off.

The brunette had to take a calming breath, she knew what Bianca was doing. And she couldn't let the bitch get to her. "I will find you, and you can bet your ass that I'm going to wipe that evil smile right off of your face!" She threatened.

Bo heard her cackle into the phone. "Do you really think that I would make it easy for you find me? Come on Bo, you're smarter than that aren't you? I am like nothing that you have ever faced, you cannot win"

"I always win" she said.

"Not this time. You had your chance and you ruined it, why not let someone else have a try? Someone who is devoted to Lauren entirely. Like me" Bianca sounded very happy.

"She'll never love you" Bo wasn't going to it break her.

"Maybe not yet. But I like a challenge, so only time will tell. And we have a lot of that. I think that it's time for you to move on Bo, and you can do it knowing that Lauren is in very good hands. Oh and don't bother tracing this call, or whatever it is that you kids do these days. Our location is cloaked, goodbye Bo. I won't tell Lauren that you called" the Dark Queen chuckled as she hung up the phone.

Bo couldn't contain it any longer, she threw her phone across the room. Watching as it hit the wall and shattered into a dozen pieces. She was having images of them in her mind now. No doubt that was Bianca's intention, to make Bo crack. Which just made her realise that she had to have been lying.

If Bianca thought that this little attempt was going to make her back off, then she was more stupid than she looked. Lauren was the only thing that would keep her sane, and she needed her back. She wasn't giving up.

She couldn't.

Bianca's Manor

The brunette moved into her throne room, she was proud of what she did to Bo. She wanted to crush any hope that the young succubus had of getting Lauren back, because it wasn't going to happen.

Bianca was now looking down at her Family's finances, in the last two thousand years it seemed that her family's wealth had grown exponentially. It looked like her Father took Hades' money and put it into a business. They owned a chain of breweries, restaurants and a ton of nightclubs.

She was impressed, her Father wasn't that smart when she was alive. To know that he had done this was a little odd. The succubus sensed her Brother flash into the room. "I was wondering where you disappeared to…" She didn't look up from her papers.

Leon smiled walking forward. "Well, as much as you would like it to. Business doesn't stop just because you show up. I had things to oversee…" He saw that she was doing some of her own overseeing. "… And so are you by the looks of it, what are you doing with all of this?" He asked.

"I'm back now, and I'm in charge. So I thought that I would brush up on our family's assets. And I have to say, that I am very impressed with what Father has built. I didn't know that he was this smart" she said.

Leon scoffed. "He wasn't. Everything that you see before you, was Dorian's doing. Over the centuries, Father had given away most of our assets. It was Dorian's idea to invest what was left into a business and it paid off" he explained.

Bianca knew where this was going, If this was Dorian's idea. Then he would be unwilling to let it go without a fight, "Which business does he own?" She asked.

"All of the restaurants and two of the breweries. You may not know this yet, but in the last century our Brother has become quite the five star chef. May I speak freely?" He asked.

The brunette smiled at him. "Leon, just because I am in charge doesn't mean that I want you to obey me. You're my brother and I'm not our Father. What is it?" She didn't want him to feel indebted to her.

"Alright. Well, I was going to say that to avoid another confrontation with him maybe you should leave Dorian and his businesses alone. Don't take them away from him, otherwise we'll never hear the end of it" he couldn't be bothered to listen to his brother's rants anymore and something like that would tip him over the edge.

Bianca would be lying if she said that thought didn't cross her mind at first. But Leon was right, robbing him of his achievements would just result in more chaos. And in order to take revenge on her he might go after Lauren, it wasn't worth it.

"Perhaps you are right, I'll leave him be. So what is your role in this empire little brother?" She asked.

"I own and run my own Nightclub. It's called Lazarus, I know it's not exactly original given that it's our last name but I liked it" Leon chuckled.

"So do I, I will have to stop by sometime. You will have to give me a tour" Bianca was glad that her brother was doing good for himself. She couldn't care less about Dorian.

Leon looked down to the desk again, seeing a cell phone. "You've been back for a couple of days, and you already had time to pick out a cell phone? Do you even know how to use it?" He asked with a laugh. That seemed strange to him.

"Not really, and it's not mine. It's Lauren's" she answered.

"If it's hers then why do you have it?" He asked.

"Because, she had a call from Bo and I answered for her. Lauren is sleeping soundly and I couldn't bare to disturb her. I was being thoughtful" she shrugged with a smirk.

"You don't know the meaning of the word thoughtful sister, I'm guessing that you spoke to this Bo and probably said something that angered her. Am I close?" He knew his sister all to well, and doing something like this was right in her wheel house.

"I may have upset her, just a tad" she pinched her fingers together.

Leon had to laugh, "Forgive me for speaking so boldly. But what do you think that Lauren will think when she hears of this? You could wave your chances of her loving you goodbye. And even if she didn't know, even if she stays here for eternity, spending time with you, getting to know you… She may never love you" he said.

"So, what are you saying?" Bianca knew that he was getting to a point, but he was dragging it out.

Leon sighed, sitting on the edge of the desk. "I'm saying, that she may never see past your Darkness. Because as much as you have wanted to deny it, it's who you are. Being Dark is all that we know, and deep down you love it. Of course, there is another way" he smirked.

"What's that?" She asked.

"Bring her into the fold. Make her turn Dark" he said.

Bianca thought it over, was Leon right? Even if Lauren could see past the fact that she was a killer, would the blonde love her regardless of that? One thing that he was right about though, was that she did love being Dark. It was in her nature, and it was how she was raised to be.

Bo had a Darkness to her too, she had to have had one being the daughter of Hades. And yet Lauren loved her regardless, but Bo fought her darkness. Whereas Bianca didn't, she liked being strong, she loved the taste of someone's chi as she took it from them. Could Lauren love her like that?

Doubtful.

Maybe was Leon was proposing was the better option, if she was turned to the Dark then she would never go back to Bo. She would want to stay with Bianca, with Darkness.

Bianca shook her head. She had made her decision. "No, I will not strip her of her free will. She has to want to be with me, by her own accord" she couldn't do that.

"And she will. Once you bring out the darkness buried within her. She may think that she is without it, but everyone has a sliver of evil in their soul. Without it, there would be no balance. Of course, she has chosen to walk a more sensible path. But I'm sure that with the right motivation she would easily take a turn down the next Dark road" he had an idea.

The brunette couldn't help but wonder what her brother had in mind, "Alright Leon, if I was willing to consider this. What do you propose?" She asked.

Leon folded his arms, turning his head away as he thought it over. "Perhaps a simple spell would be enough" he suggested.

"I told you, I won't take away her free will!" The succubus brought her hand down onto the desk hard. Was he not hearing her?

"And I am not saying that you have to. Listen to me…" He turned to her. "… With your power, you could easily summon the Darkness within her Soul. You won't be taking her free will, you'll be helping her embrace something amazing" he explained.

"But she would never turn dark willingly, which means that in a way. I am taking her free will by turning her without her permission" she said.

Leon shook his head, she just wasn't getting it. "No, the spell will bring out her inner Darkness but it will only take hold if she lets it. If she tries to fight it then she will return back to her light and fluffy human self in twelve hours" he had seen this spell performed before, but it took someone of great power to execute it.

"We don't know if she will choose to embrace her Darkness" the succubus sighed.

"And we don't know that she won't either, what do you have to lose? If she chooses to embrace it then she would remain by your side forever. Isn't that what you want?" He asked.

"Yes…" She sighed. That was all that she had wanted since the day that she had laid eyes on her. It wasn't such a terrible plan. She wasn't forcing her into anything, Lauren would have the ultimate choice to make by herself. Which meant that Bianca wasn't really doing anything wrong. "… How does it work?"

Leon smiled, he knew that she would want it. "A simple tonic, you say a few ancient words to bless it and presto. One sip is all that it takes"

"Will it harm her?" She asked, that was important to know.

He shook his head, "Other than a little wooziness she should be fine. So what do you say? Are you ready for her to love you?" He smiled.

"Prepare the tonic, there is no harm in conducting a little experiment. And if it happens to result in my victory then that's even better" the brunette laughed, it wasn't harmful and it was just like a small test. It wasn't a big deal.

"As you wish. Shan't be long…" The young warlock smiled on his way out of the room.

Bianca didn't know how this was going to turn out, but she had to have faith. Because if she couldn't get Lauren's trust then what was the point in all of this? Who knew, Lauren may even prefer to be Dark.

Evony's House

Bo was on a mission right now. After her conversation with Bianca, she couldn't stop. Even though that she didn't believe anything out of the bitch's mouth, she still needed to get Lauren back.

The succubus marched up to Evony's front door, bringing her foot up and kicking the large wooden door down. Her strength was at its highest in this moment, the anger and the rage of Bianca'a words fuelled her. As Evony's door man tried to restrain her, the brunette pushed him away with her hand.

She didn't have time for pleasantries, something that Evony would soon find out.

And speaking of the devil, the Morrigan rounded the corner coming face to face with an angry Bo. "I thought that I told you to get lost!" She didn't want to look at her face.

Bo didn't stop walking, she quickly grabbed the human by the collar of her shirt. Lifting her up as high as her strength would allow her. "You feel like telling me where they are now?!" She asked.

Evony held Bo's hands, trying to pry them off of her shirt. "I told you, I'm not dying just to save your human meat bag! You'll never make me talk!" She groaned trying to get free.

The brunette pulled her down to eye level. "You want to know the best thing about being human Evony? It means that I can make you do anything that I want!" She cupped her cheek forcefully. Releasing some of her succubus energy. "Now tell me, where did Bianca take Lauren?" She asked.

"I don't know" the human answered.

Bo sighed, she was telling the truth. Which meant that she didn't know where they were, but if she really had no clue then why did she make all of this fuss? There was something else. "Did Bianca mention anything to you about what her plans were?" She asked.

"She asked me if her Father was still alive, and I told her yes. Then she asked me where he was" the human was in a trance, she was feeling new realms of pleasure.

The succubus could see that she was starting to pass out, that happened a lot. Especially if she was releasing too much energy. She tried pulling back, but she was so amped up right now that she couldn't stop it. "Focus! Where is he? What did you tell her?" She asked.

"That he lives in the next region…" Evony moaned as her eyes started to droop.

Bo shook the human's head in her hands, "No, Evony! Stay with me! Where in the next region? Where is she?!" She yelled. Evony was out for the count, she fell to her side in a slump. The succubus looked down at Evony with a sigh. "Damn it!"

There was no way that she was getting anymore information, but it was okay. Because now she had a lead. They just have to find out where Bianca's Father lived. Then she could get Lauren back and everything could go back to normal.

She hoped.

Bianca's Manor (1 Hour Later)

The succubus sat her desk, wondering if this whole Darkness tonic was a good idea after all. What if Lauren chose Darkness but then found out what she did and then hated her anyway? Then it would have been for nothing.

But who said that she had to know?

She looked up when she heard footsteps come from the hallway, it was Leon and he was carrying a small vile. "As you requested, one tonic of darkness" he smiled handing it to her.

The brunette shook it in her hands, it was clear, she expected a darkness tonic to be well… Dark. "What must I do?" She asked.

"Just a simple chant, in Father's ancient language. Can I assume that you remember it?" The young warlock wondered if his sister still practiced that particular kind of magic.

Bianca locked eyes with her brother, she should have known that this kind of spell would require a price. "You want me to use the Malevolent Language? Is this what you're into now? You know that this kind of magic is dangerous" she said.

Leon chuckled, "Dangerous? Come now Sister, this is a simple spell. It's not like we're killing anyone. What is the big deal?" He frowned.

"The big deal, is that this is the kind of magic that caused our Father to become corrupt! I will not lose myself to this kind of sorcery" she shook her head.

He sighed, touching her arm gently. "Bianca, this spell is harmless. I promise you that it will not effect you in the way that it did him. You are ten times more powerful than he was, I know that you can handle it. Besides, our Father was corrupted long before he dabbled in this magic" that was the truth.

Bianca looked at the bottle again, she didn't like going outside of her comfort zone. But she also wanted to see what would happen if the tonic worked. Leon was right, she was more powerful. And she was probably more durable than most Warlocks at her level.

"Alright…" She agreed.

As the minutes passed, Leon instructed his sister on the chant that she had to say. When Bianca finished saying the words, the little vial in her hand started to glow. "… Does that mean that it's done?" She asked.

Leon just nodded. "Remember, one drop is all that it takes. There is no harm in doing this Bianca, if it works and she embraces her inner darkness then maybe she is destined for you" he smiled. He wanted her to be happy, especially after everything that had been taken from her.

"And if she doesn't?" She was dreading the outcome of this.

He gave a small shrug. "Then maybe you can move on. I have to leave, there is an emergency at the club. But, the landline is right there…" He pointed to her large mahogany desk. "… I'll call in a little while, just to check in" he kissed his sister on the cheek before leaving the room.

Bianca took a calming breath, it was now or never. She just had to remember that it was just a harmless experiment. And whatever happened after it, happened.

The succubus made her way into the kitchen, pouring a glass of orange juice. Lauren would probably need it after the drinking that they did earlier. She took the tonic vile, and dropped three drops into the juice.

Once that was done, she made her way to Lauren's bedroom. The blonde was still asleep, but she was tossing and turning. Bianca quickly put her phone back where she found it. The blonde didn't need to know about that. Moving over to the bed, the brunette sat down beside her quietly.

As she watched her sleep, she immediately knew that this was the right thing to do. If Lauren decided to turn Dark then she would never have to lose her. She didn't really want to think of what would happen if the blonde didn't.

Bianca touched her face ever so gently. "Lauren?" She whispered.

The blonde opened her eyes slowly, as soon as the light hit her retinas she was in agony. Her head was pounding. Sitting up, she let out a low moan. "Urghh! My head. I feel like I've guzzled down an entire distillery" the taste was awful.

"Here…" The brunette held out the glass of orange juice. "… This should help" she smiled.

Lauren took the glass and drank it sparingly. This did help, "Thank you…"

Bianca just kept smiling as the blonde continued to drink the juice. This was it, it was done. There was no going back now. The next twelve hours were going to be make or break.

Would Lauren fight the Darkness, or would she embrace it?

….

A/N: Oohh! Snap! Just when you think that Bianca is nice, she pulls something like this! What do you think will happen? Will Lauren fight, or will she embrace? Leave me a review. Much love xoxo
