Chapter 10
The Dal
They had been at it for hours scouring Tricks books for anything that may give them a lead into what was happening to Bo. There was so little to go on however and the one person that may have been able to enlighten them had slipped off to God knows where and was doing God knows what.
"This is hopeless," Lauren sighs in frustration as she rubs her eyes wearily.
"Wouldn't we be better off searching for Bo?"
"She knows how to run, Lauren, she did it for years," Dyson replies, his voice reflecting the same frustration.
"But she didn't have people looking out for her then Dyson. I think her ties to us, especially Kenzi will keep her localised, I Don't think she will leave the city, not unless she's forced too. This is the first home she has had for ten years, I think she will be reluctant to leave so quickly."
"The docs right D-Man," Kenzi says with droopy tired eyes.
Trick noticing the weariness on all of their faces, realises that they all need rest, if they are to have any hope of finding the rogue succubus. "We all need to get some rest, especially you Lauren, you've barely slept in days." Trick gives her an all knowing look that stops the blondes protests from escaping her lips. They all murmur and nod in agreement at Trick's words knowing the old man is right. Dyson and Hale are the first to depart, leaving Lauren and Kenzi shrugging into their jackets bracing themselves to face the cold outside.
"Lauren?"
"Kenzi?" The doctor says raising an eyebrow in the goths direction.
"Umm... did you wanna maybe umm... come back to the crap shack with me? I think we might both sleep a little better if we aren't alone." Lauren smiles at the young woman grateful for the offer.
"That would be nice Kenzi, thank you."
"No worries Hot Pants just keep your hands off this awesome merchandise and we will be just fine." Lauren laughs at the comment before saying, "I will try to restrain myself."
Giving a final wave goodbye to Trick, the two women exit the Dal and head for home.
BO
The club is dark except for the flashing coloured lights that sweep across the packed dance floor. The succubus stands in a corner drinking in the tangible atmosphere of lust and sex as she watches the swaying bodies pressing up tight against each other to the pounding bass that fills the club. Bo is not alone for long, as a young man approaches the succubus with a sure swagger of arrogance. Bo gives the guy a once over not caring much about how attractive he appears, just wanting to know what he tastes like. Taking the full body once over as a green light, he invades the brunettes personal space, leaning in close to her ear.
"Hello gorgeous, want to dance?" Bo can smell the tinge of alcohol on his breath and feels his hands run up the sides of her body, resting at her hips. The succubus plants a sweet smile on her face before whirling around to face him leaving barely a centimetre between them. Placing a hand on the side of his clean shaven face, Bo pushes a little pulse of power into him before making bodily contact and pushing him a little roughly against the wall.
"Wow, you're aggressive, I like that,"the man manages to gasp out. Not wanting to waste any more time Bo crushes her lips against his and begins to feed, greedily sucking down the man's chi. Placing her hands on his arms and a leg between his to keep him from sagging to the floor, the succubus continues to drink heartily until she hears her little conscience telling her to stop. Bo lowers the unconscious but not dead man into the dark corner, checks his pockets for some cash, before leaving him to sleep it off. "Well the least he can do is buy me a few drinks, sleazy bastard," the brunette thinks as she casually makes her way to the bar. Ordering a beer and a couple of shots, Bo swivels on the bar stool surveying the crowd for her next course.
The succubus notices a couple dancing together off to the side of the dance floor clearly oblivious to anyone else around them. The man while extremely attractive is not what has grabbed the brunettes attention, his partner bears a remarkable resemblance to someone near and dear to her heart. Lauren. While Bo knows there is no substitute to the real thing, the startling resemblances are enough to make her desire flare up, burning through her body like wild fire. Moments later the succubus catches a break as the blonde heads towards the ladies room leaving her partner heading towards a booth in a dark corner towards the back of the club. "He will be my main course and I'll take my dessert to bed," Bo thinks with a lick of her full lips.
The brunette approaches the man in the booth with her most sultry smile plastered across her face. "Hi there handsome," she purrs, quickly sliding in next to the uncertain guy and taking his hand in one smooth motion. Igniting his hand with power Bo wastes no time in capturing his parted lips with her own. Finishing her meal in record time the succubus allows the man to slump against the back of the darkened booth a pleasant smile playing across his now kiss swollen lips.
Bo searches the distance between the bathroom and the booth, looking for her delectable dessert and is rewarded with the blonde slowly weaving her way across the club. The succubus rises from her position stalking gracefully towards the woman. As Bo passes next to the blonde, she brushes her hand lightly over the exposed flesh of the beauty's forearm infusing a healthy dose of desire and invoking a visible shiver from her prey.
The blonde turns towards Bo with startling azure blue eyes, while slightly disappointed that she doesn't have brown eyes like her blonde goddess Lauren, they are striking nonetheless and the succubus recovers quickly from her disappointment.
Bo approaches the now enamoured beauty relishing the way she looks the succubus up and down clearly appreciating the sight before her.
"Hi, I'm Bo and you are?" The brunette rests a hand on the exposed bicep of the attractive woman tracing small circles with her thumb, pulsing little bursts of desire sporadically to keep the attraction strong.
With a delectable sigh the woman answers in a rich smoky voice that actually makes Bo shiver as it caresses her.
"I'm Shani, it's a pleasure to meet you Bo. I have heard a lot of things about you. I can say that some of them are definitely true." The stunning blonde chuckles softly at the shock and then realisation that crosses the succubus' features.
"You're Fae! Wow, I really need to work on my fae-dar don't I."
Shani gives Bo a gentle smile. "You are so very young by Fae standards, recognising others of our kind will come with time and practice." Looking behind her in the direction of the booth the blonde asks, "Did you leave my friend alive, little succubus?"
"Yeah, he's sleeping quite contently," Bo responds with a bashful smile and a slight blush colouring her cheeks.
"So what are your intentions towards me, Bo?" Shani rasps with another small chuckle.
"Well... I was hoping you would be my dessert," the succubus replies, flashing the blonde a winning smile. "Interested?"
A hearty delighted laugh explodes forth from Shani. "Your honesty is refreshing, young one, truly a delight. Would you like to sit for a while and have a drink with me?" Bo thoroughly intrigued by the fae in front of her nods in compliance, before heading off to a empty booth. The women sit in comfortable silence as the waitress delivers their drinks, watching each other with open curiosity.
"So... do my powers even work on you?," Bo questions, "And if it's not too rude to ask, what type of Fae are you?"
"Yes, your powers do work on me, I felt a delicious rush of desire for you when you deliberately brushed past me. However, I still have my free will and could refuse you if I wanted. As for your other question, yes it is rude to ask, but you are young and curious and also very charming, so I will answer your question. I am a fairy, a Sprite to be precise." The blonde laughs as she realises that Bo has never heard of a sprite before and therefore has gained no knowledge from her "rude" question. "Would you like me to elaborate on that Bo?"
Feeling completely stupid at her lack of knowledge of all things Fae, Bo looks down at the table unsure whether to be hurt or angry, that the woman across from her is laughing at her ineptitude. Shani noticing the succubus' change in demeanour, reaches out taking Bo's hand in her own.
"I'm sorry gorgeous, I'm not laughing at you, truly I'm not. Sprites tend to find most things funny, we giggle a lot. You have only been a part of this world, what, a few months. You couldn't possibly know everything about the Fae in that amount of time. Don't be so hard on yourself, I'm almost 3000 years old and there is still plenty out there that I don't know." Bo looks up searching the sprites eyes for truth and finds it, she visibly relaxes, taking a sip of her drink.
"I'm sorry, I usually just ask Lauren if there is a Fae question I need to know, she's like wikipedia for all things Fae. A Faepedia if you will," Bo says without thinking a smile crossing her features.
"Lauren? As in Dr. Lauren Lewis, the Ash's ward? Shani says with surprise and a raised eyebrow.
Bo's eyes flash neon blue for a moment, causing the sprite to flinch before returning to their usual chocolate brown. Not liking the path the conversation is going, Bo tries to redirect the chat back to the sprite.
"So are you going to give me some background into what it is to be a sprite or not? Teach me."
Shani while clearly curious at the strong reaction Bo has at the mention of Dr. Lewis, she let's it slide hoping to placate the newly agitated succubus. "Okay. Sprites 101 is now in session,"the blonde says with a playful twinkle in her eye.
"We are nature spirits with a playful, mischievous nature. We are creative and love painting and writing. We can harness magic to protect and harm using elements taken from the earth. Sprites change the colour of the leaves in autumn and then shake the tree's to make them fall. We have an excess of energy and use it to play and tease a wide variety of creatures, but we particularly like to play and frolic with nymph's. That's the gist of it, though I think I may personally also like playing, frolicking and teasing a certain sexy and tantalising succubus."Shani say concluding her last sentence with a sly wink in Bo's direction, causing the brunette to smile warmly.
"So Bo … Are you still hungry for dessert?" The alluring sprite asks suggestively.
"I would love to take you back to my suite, for dessert,"Bo growls hungrily before leaning over for a kiss.
"Lead the way,"Shani says, slightly breathless and craving more.
