A/N: Thanks a million to those who take time to read this story, follow it, and add it to their favorites. For those of you that time to review you are the best. I love reading the reviews and how you guys perceive the story. Everyone is more protective of Lauren because the gang around her now sees things in a different light. Everything always came so easy to Bo. She had Kenzi helping her every step of the way and Lauren and Dyson were always there waiting hoping to be the one she picked. Now things are different Dyson cares for Bo as a friend but Lauren is a sister. Kenzi sees things from a whole new perspective and that has changed who she backs. Lauren is more confident and confidence can attract people so for once Bo is getting a taste of her own medicine. Flashbacks will continue to explain things further. Enjoy this chapter and review please.


10 MONTHS AGO

Bruce moved towards Kenzi glancing down at the fallen doctor. "I thought Dr. Lewis was a human doctor for the light fae."

Kenzi didn't take her eyes off of Lauren. "She is or was. That might not be Lauren. Who knows, there was this time when we all looked like ourselves but we weren't. Good times." She spun towards Bruce grabbing onto him, "You think they cloned Lauren. Supercharged her with fae powers and her brains, like The Thing, you know the movie," she let go of the giant looking back down at the still passed out blonde.

Bruce just shook his head at the tiny human. "I don't think she is some alien. We got fae we don't need aliens." He shot his head to the left when he heard the rustling of leaves. "We can ask her more when she wakes up for now let's get out of here." He marched over to Lauren despite Kenzi's protests that she could be a variety of things. He easily lifted her up carrying her how a groom carries a bride. "We are going to need another car."

The goth snapped out of her rambling, put her one hand on her hip and the other against her chest. "Now you want me to give up my pride and joy. That is harsh and I thought you were a good guy." She was using her humor as a defense mechanism. Right now she had no clue where Bo was, where Dyson was, where Hale was, or even where the damn Valkyrie was. Evony said Trick was dead something she was still trying desperately to process and now the one thing that made her smile she had to give up to. Not to mention the petite human was on the run to save her own ass.

The giant was walking slightly ahead of her not wanting to slow down his pace. "Kenzi, Evony's car won't fit three people. I saw a few Hummers at Taft Industries we are going to have to take one after I make sure there is no tracking device on it." He just wanted to get the two ladies somewhere safe. That was his priority he knew the Morrigan and she wasn't someone to back down easily. Until he heard from Hale or anyone else letting him know that it was safe he was taking these two into hiding.

The goth just followed. She didn't mind Bruce too much especially after he just saved her helping the tiny human to escape. But still she didn't really know him. Now she had to go into hiding with a huge giant that she was acquaintances with and Lauren out of all people. Kenzi was still wondering if Lauren was even human. The only other time she saw yellow eyes like that were Dyson. He was missing last she heard and Lauren was the number one suspect. Top that off with now her eyes mirrored his. Kenzi narrowed her eyes at the unconscious doctor. "What if she did something to Dyson and stole his faeness. Then we are harboring a fugitive." Kenzi called to Bruce.

It didn't slow him down when he answered. "Kenzi you are a fugitive right now also. We don't know what Lauren did and we can't ask her right now. Let's get somewhere safe and when she wakes up we can question her all you want." He wasn't sure why there was a sudden shift in the goth's mood but he sensed the hostility. Clearly she wasn't a fan of the blonde he was carrying but now wasn't the time to argue. Bruce knew he didn't know Kenzi that long but she seemed to be the kind of person that got along with everyone which made him wonder the type of person he was carrying in his arms. Not wanting to concentrate too much about it he set his mind to the task at hand.

They got back to the building in record time and he gently placed Lauren down instructing Kenzi to stay with her. It was the only way he knew they would both be safe while he had time to inspect the Hummer. He barged into the office throwing around the keys finding some that could be for the SUV. There was a few that said Hummer on them and wasn't positive which key was for that one. From the office he went to the vehicle trying all the keys till he got the right one. Bruce popped the hood and from there he slid under the monster truck once he was one hundred percent positive there was no tracker he started it up. Going back to get the goth and the blonde possibly human, the verdict was still out on that one. Bruce put Lauren in the backseat while Kenzi got in the passenger seat. The giant jumped into the driver side, "I know some fae that will help us. They are wizards."

The goth gazed over at Bruce. The excitement was evident, "You are taking me to Hogwarts. I knew that place was too good to be made up." She was kidding but if there was a chance of a school of witchcraft and wizardry then the fae would be the ones to know about it.

"Not exactly," was the only answer he was willing to give. The two had some miscellaneous chit chat. Kenzi told Bruce how she met Bo, Dyson, Hale, Trick and Lauren. Bruce couldn't help but inquire why she seemed hostile towards the doctor. Which made the petite human turn in her seat completely so she was sitting on an angle facing Bruce. Kenzi knew he had to keep his eyes on the road but she still wanted to look at him when she spoke. "First she seems like this super sweet person who was human like me so bonus points there. Bo had these strong, MEGA strong feelings for her but kept the good doc at arm's length. Her being a succubus and Lauren being a human. It was forbidden love from the start. Fae/human totally frowned upon as you may know. Then the whole I need to feed on your sexual chi and could possibly kill you was a problem. You can see how that might be. This is when I still thought of Lauren as Dr. HotPants," she glanced into the backseat remembering how she first felt towards the blonde. At that time she encouraged Bo to not give up on Lauren to fight for who she wanted whoever that may be. "Then the doc put the moves on Bo bo which made her all kinds of happy. But right after and I mean right after Bo learns Lauren did it because the Ash asked her to. Bo was after Vex and the Ash didn't want her going after him so he told Lauren to occupy Bo. Mission accomplished Dr. Heartless which earned her the new name of Dr. Freeze. I expected something like that from a fae, no offense, but not from a human slave. You would think Bo made her feel not all Civil War era but I guess not."

"She might have had her reasons," Bruce cut in. He didn't know the doctor but how could a sweet face like that do something devious.

Kenzi slapped his huge muscular arm shaking and rubbing her hand after. "Rude to cut someone off dude. Then Bo's mom, Mommy Dearest, comes into the pic and the doc helped out with this necklace thingie. So she clears herself with Bo but not with me because I know that Bo just wants to see the best in everybody. Thankfully I don't I like to see the worst. After the doc started living with us hiding from Lochlan I warned her ass that I would kill her. Seriously I told her they would find her body years from now knowing that someone killed her that rhymed with frenzy. More to it than that but back to the point, so she goes and bangs Bo again right after my totally awesome warning. Couple days later we find out she has a girlfriend this whole time in a coma and that was how she became a slave. Good to know how she spent some time while her girl was out cold. She made it up to us again by helping beat the Garuda and possibly helping in saving my life telling Hale to use his siren. Then shortly after the two became a couple and Bo forgot my existence. She never did that when she dated Dyson but with Lauren she was lost in the world of the doc. I got kidnapped and Bo didn't even notice. The Bo I knew would have noticed in a second but she was under Lauren's spell. Not like Charmed kind of spell I mean like Hocus Pocus. After all that she dumps Bo with some lame ass I need a break from us bullshit."

Bruce felt like he just missed half the story, "Why would she ask for a break if she kept going back to Bo. I hear that she had a girlfriend but maybe she gave up hope on the girl in a coma. She might have developed actual feelings for Bo not expecting her girlfriend to wake up. She must have left that girl to be with Bo and again why the break." None of what Kenzi said added up to him and knew it was one sided.

Kenzi ran her tongue over the front of her top teeth. She wasn't liking Bruce so much anymore. In all fairness she would be honest, "Bo had to kill Nadia, the girlfriend, but only because she was possessed by the Garuda and kicking Lauren's ass. Plus the nasty bitch attacked me she was lucky I didn't kick her ass. Bo might have almost killed me and Lauren to save Dyson after his Dawning. That was also where she found out I got his love back for him, oopps. Plus there was a kiss with Tamsin that Bo didn't tell her about so she might not even know about it." Saying that out loud Kenzi knew that there was a chance Lauren wasn't all wrong.

Bruce made a face, "Bo sounds like a great girlfriend. I mean that has to be what everybody wants in a relationship. Lies, being left behind, mistrust, coming second and almost getting killed for an ex. Think she will date me." He didn't know Bo or Lauren but he understood more of Lauren's side from this short summary. He understood it was hard for Kenzi to see it that way because she was Team Bo.

Kenzi rolled her eyes. "She also had to sleep with other people since Lauren was human. That she knew about and agreed to. And that kiss with Tamsin happened when she was supposed to go to some award thingie with Lauren for a trophy she was getting or whatever doctors get. She also drank champagne with Tamsin in Lauren's apartment when she missed it. Again Lauren doesn't know about that."

To Bruce that only proved his point more that Lauren was definitely the bigger person in this. "So Lauren agreed to Bo having sex with other people understanding her succubus nature trying to make the relationship work. While Bo couldn't even make an award ceremony where her girlfriend who helped save the fae species from the Garuda was being honored. Again still not seeing where Bo is the better one in the relationship."

"I am seriously not liking you right now," she turned back to sit in the seat normally. She saw they were driving into the woods, "Why are we visiting Jason Voorhees? Is he fae too?"

The Hummer came to a stop. At this point they had been driving for almost two hours. "From here we need to walk." He got out of the car opening up the backdoor he got Lauren. Bruce didn't know this possible human but right now he sympathized with her.

Kenzi was still sitting in the car staring off at Bruce. Realizing he was serious she got out running the best she could in her boots to catch up. "More walking? Hi, have we met?" She stuck her hand out to which Bruce only smiled at. They walked for a few miles and at that point Kenzi was on Bruce's back while he carried Lauren. Finally stopping by what seemed like nothing but bushes and trees. The giant move away some of it to reveal a hidden door that went underground.

The goth stepped back putting her hand over her heart, "You know hobbits. This is so Lord of the Rings."

Bruce opened the wooden door with one hand allowing Kenzi to go in first. They walked down the many steps and stopped in front of another door. A window opened and when the person saw Bruce the door swung open to reveal people around Kenzi's height walking around in what Kenzi thought were Jedi robes. "So is this Star Wars or Spaceballs because this feels like we are in Yogurt's layer."

"These are the wizards who I hope will help us," Bruce explained as Kenzi was scanning over the whole area.

One of them came over to the giant, "Bruce, my friend it has been a long time."

Bruce again used one hand to shake his friend's hand. "Tiberius this is Kenzi and Lauren. They are humans and Evony started a war against them. All humans that are slaves or know about the fae or wanted for treason and punished by death. They are innocent this is one of Evony's scams. Can you help hide us till we sort this out? We have friends working on the outside that will solve this problem for us." Bruce was hoping the wizard would be willing to help. They didn't like trouble but didn't tolerate unnecessary evils.

Tiberius shook Kenzi's hand and approached the unconscious doctor. He glanced up at his giant friend, "We will help you but this one is not human." He answered as he pointed to the doctor.

"I KNEW IT," the petite human was thrilled she was right.

PRESENT TIME – MONTREAL

Bo heard Tamsin but didn't acknowledge what the Valkyrie just whispered to her. Right now her eyes were fixed on the perfect Ash. Bo wanted to get up and knock her flat on her ass and she hated the way Lauren acted around her. The way the blonde acted all flabbergasted made Bo want to chi suck the Ash dry. "Tamsin this is the Ash of Montreal, Ava," Bo did the introduction keeping a blithe facial expression.

Ava stretched out her hand, "Nice to meet you Tamsin and welcome to Montreal. I am glad to see Dark Fae continuing to get along with the Light." The ash glanced up at the blonde shifter, "Something I have to thank Lauren for."

The succubus couldn't help herself. "Are you referring to Vex, I brought him into the mix years ago." She beamed with some pride. Finally she knew something the Ash didn't.

Ava didn't seem phased at all, "But you are unaligned so if he spoke with you it isn't really the same as Light and Dark. Here he visits regularly as well as Bruce. Damon and I are in agreement we hope this new formed alliance will be ongoing." Ava smiled knowing the succubus was trying to get to her but she wasn't going to allow it. She certainly wouldn't stoop to Bo's level in front of the doctor. If Bo wanted to play she would beat her with her wits and words.

The cockiness fell from Bo's face. The brunette was currently fighting the overwhelming desire to kick her in the chest. Hitting her hard enough to send her into the tree in front of Lauren's place. She promised herself to keep these emotions hidden from Ava and Lauren. She kept recalling Evony's words in her head. She will control her temper, hide her anger, and be completely mature. In other words she will make you look like an immature stubborn little brat in seconds. Keeping that in mind Bo changed the subject knowing there had to be a way to get under Ava's skin she just had to find it. Bo's face was inscrutable, "Speaking of Light Fae, I just met one of your guards, Nikki I believe." Her voice was nonchalant no one would know she was trying to provoke the Ash. Letting her know that the guard that sleeps with Lauren was just there.

Ava glanced over at Lauren as her smile widened, "Good, I take it you three got your run in already. Now we can take a little longer at lunch. I have a meeting with Dyson and Hale afterwards but I can push it back I am sure your brother will not mind." The Ash was amused by the succubus's attempts to make her uncomfortable. Bo was throwing things at her as if it would get the light fae Mesmer flustered. Ava couldn't help but think the brunette had a lot to learn and she would certainly win over the new fae if the succubus kept up this childish behavior.

This time it was Lauren that Bo spoke to, "Lunch huh, funny you never mentioned that all of last night or this morning. Although we didn't do much talking." She wanted a reason to let Ava know that she spent the whole night with her ex-lover. Bo just wasn't expecting to get that window from the Ash herself. It didn't matter she grabbed the opportunity and just slightly glanced towards the Ash with only her eyes.

Lauren's face flushed when Bo said that out loud. "I didn't think to." She studied the Ash's facial expression knowing that Ava had to know what Bo was referring to. It didn't take a brain surgeon to put those pieces together. The new shifter with her off the charts hormones with her very attractive ex succubus who has the same hormones. Actually Bo's might now be slightly lower than Lauren's. "Bo has nowhere to live so for now she is staying with us."

The Ash put her hand up signaling Lauren to stop talking. "Lauren I have no claim to you and as far as I know no one else does neither. You do not have to explain your actions to me or anyone else." She knew why the succubus did that. Ava gave her some credit she was crafty and was making it known she wanted the blonde shifter back. Thankfully Ava didn't give up just like that and after what she heard about Bo she wasn't so sure she deserved Lauren's heart. With that in mind she wasn't going to give up her pursuit. "Bo you are always welcome to stay at my palace as well. It would give us a chance to get to know each other better," Ava flashed her radiant smile at the succubus. She meant that too she would love to get to know Bo. She remembered how Colin said he was losing Lauren because of an unaligned succubrat. That she broke the doctor's heart and Lauren couldn't stay in the city. Ava recalled how broken the blonde shifter was when she first arrived. Kenzi and Dyson were the ones to fill her in on some of the things about Bo. Just the other day Lauren herself explained in her own words how she felt towards the succubus. Ava liked to see things from her own point of view.

"I will keep that in mind," Bo answered through her straight-faced appearance. She was taking in what the Ash was wearing. She had on black dress pants, with a white halter top that had such a deep v in the front it stopped right above her belly button. There was no back to the shirt and her black heels had to add another three inches to her height. Bo was trying to figure out how the shirt was staying in place because there was no sides to it since there wasn't a back. And somehow the material managed to cover Ava's very large chest. Breaking Bo out of her haze when Lauren stepped past her. Not wanting to show the jealous rage she was feeling she called out to the two, "Have fun."

Tamsin studied the succubus, "Have fun that was the best you could think of. The two look like they are off to do a modeling shoot together and you said have fun. Who are you and where is Bo?" She watched as Lauren and Ava drove off, "Do you know who she looks like?"

Bo put her hand up before whipping her head towards the Valkyrie, "Finish that sentence and I will tear out your jugular." If she had to hear it from one more person she was going to be sick. Bo didn't like that out of all the singers it had to be the sexy busty one that the Ash resembled. "She couldn't have resembled Alice Cooper," it was a statement that she was saying more to herself.

Tamsin glanced down at Bo's cleavage. "Shit I thought you had the world's best cleavage. You just got hit down to number two. Or double slammed if you count those."

The succubus gave the dark fae an evil glare. "Didn't you hear if you don't have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all?" She couldn't provoke the Ash, she was undoubtedly gorgeous, sexy, big chested, but she also was mature just like Evony said.

The Valkyrie rolled her eyes, "Then I would never talk. The doc gets around now huh. Here I thought she was such a nerd. Now she is an animal in every sense of the word. She has another wolf to play with, an Ash and a succubus. Think she would take a Valkyrie too?"

"Tamsin right now you are the only person I have on my side so don't make me kill you," Bo was still gazing over to where the two disappeared. The way she was looking was if she stared hard enough they would appear again then she could somehow stop the two from going to lunch. If she wasn't so busy last night trying to physically connect with her ex again she might have been smart enough to ask why Miss Perfect called.

"Bo I am not your gang of sunshine friends. I may somewhat be a part of it but I will never blow so much smoke up your ass that you become a hot air balloon. Lauren is appealing now I was asking about sex not her heart but fine I will do the friend thing. I never had any so it was never an issue but apparently it's making you hostile. Last time we fought I kicked your ass," the Valkyrie reminded her.

The succubus went slack-jawed, "Um, excuse me I must have hit you so hard you seem to forget that I got the upper hand and decided not to chi suck the life out of you. Only then did you get the upper hand and not cut my head of, should I thank you for that."

"Whatever dude."

Bo decided to finally tell someone about Evony. "There is a chance I might have done something stupid. I need you to be a friend and also you can't say a word to anyone because I haven't."

Tamsin dug into her jacket taking out a flask, "I knew I would need this when it came to you." Unscrewing the top she took a sip, "Okay I'm ready."

The brunette had no reaction to the Valkyrie. Instead she couldn't help but think if Kenzi went for woman these two would be the perfect fit. "What did Evony tell you about leaving Toronto?" Bo figured that was a safe place to start.

"Her exact words were Bo is going after that new make shift wolf since you are so blinded by the sunshine gang why don't you do me a favor and leave with her. And I believe she said don't come back or I will be forced to kill you," she impassively answered drinking from her flask.

"I might have made a deal with Evony," Bo basically whispered out the sentence. It was her confession that she was hoping wasn't heard. Unfortunately the Valkyrie did hear it as she screwed the cap onto the flask placing it down so she could turn towards Bo.

"After all this time you are still really that dumb. You made a deal with the devil so you know. Well you want the silver lining. Here it is, when your friends find this out you will not have to worry about getting Lauren back because they will kill you. Their problem solved I should become a shrink," she patted Bo's knee as she went back to her flask.

"Yeah I think your license would be revoked from the amount of your patients that commit suicide," sometimes talking to Tamsin wasn't the best thing. It was honest but not good for the ego.

Tamsin disregarded what the succubus said, "If people can't handle the truth then they shouldn't look for answers. Simple as that. Shit or get off the bowl."

Bo's lip curled with the look of disgust. "Wow that was vivid. You paint quite the mental picture Michelangelo. Can we get back to the disaster that is my life?"

The Valkyrie couldn't fight the smile, "You mean the disaster you once again created out of your own free will. Yeah let's get back to that. But before we do we are going for lunch ourselves." Tamsin peeled herself off the stairs pulling out the keys to her truck.

"The last time you took me to lunch we went to a bar and you got a Bloody Mary," Bo was dragging her feet as she followed anyway.

AVA & LAUREN – WHEN THEY FIRST LEFT LAUREN'S PLACE

As the two got in the car Lauren started to explain, "I am sorry about that." She paused when she felt the Ash's hand over hers. It made her stop mid thought as she glanced over to the beauty in the driver seat.

"You have nothing to apologize about. Why do you always feel like you did something that requires an apology? No one owns you, you are not a slave and as I have stated before shouldn't have been for quite some time." Her demeanor was calm and collected. "Your ex is beautiful but I didn't ask you to lunch yesterday to speak about her. In my personal opinion you have spent too many tears on that succubus. There is a saying I strictly believe in and make a personal mission to follow." Putting the car in drive she told Lauren the quote, "The one who makes you cry isn't worth your tears. The one who is worth your tears would never make you cry. And that is all the time I am going to spend on Bo."

Lauren knew that it wasn't Ava who made up the saying but she was the one who memorized it. And it was a lovely quote. It was moving to the blonde shifter because it held so many truths to it. How many times did she cry over Bo? When they were together? When she had to leave her because Bo failed to see how far she allowed them to drift apart? Or when she returned with her new dark fae girlfriend? There was an endless amount of tears that she shed over the succubus. Ava was right no more. "What did you want to talk about?"

It was the first time the Ash had a seductive smile of her own, "That kiss from the other night would be a good start?" She never took her eyes off the road when she asked.

BRUCE'S PLACE (ACROSS THE STREET FROM KENZI & LAUREN'S) – PRESENT TIME

Dyson returned there after their run. He put the clothes on that was left outside for him and joined the two guys inside. Currently he was standing to the side of the window. He watched his sister walk out with Nikki giving a half grin at the relationship the two lady wolves had. She wouldn't be his first choice for Lauren but not his last either. He smiled when he saw Ava appear and chuckled when the two went off together. He sipped his coffee as he watched Bo get into Tamsin's truck shaking his head in disappointment. This is why he still couldn't trust Bo with his sister. He would be keeping an eye on Bo like this till she proved him wrong, if she could.
