Chapter 10

Tamsin walked to the bathroom with Bo. Her mind was on the skin to skin contact she had with Bo and she was trying to hold onto every moment.

"I'm going to run you a bath. If nothing else it will make you feel better. You look like you might be sick." Bo said looking at Tamsin's pale face.

"Okay, thanks."

"You go lay down on my bed for a minute and I will fix things in here for you."

Tamsin walked into Bo's bedroom and sat down on the bed. She took deep breathes to try to calm her nerves. She was a mess and she could feel her hands shaking slightly. She had not fully taken time to think of the consequences of what she had just done. It had potential for major problems.

Bo walked back into the bedroom and sat on the bed beside Tamsin.

"Okay I sat you out a towel and some clothes in the bathroom. The warm water will be good for you."

Tamsin slowly got up and walked into the bathroom. It was already warm in the room from where Bo had run the bath. The steam felt nice. She took off her clothes and sank up to her neck in the warm water. She was beginning to feel some of the tension leave her body and melt into the water. She allowed herself to close her eyes and she tried to clear her mind. She was here now with Bo and that was the only thing that was important at the moment. Her mind was still trying to wrap around the way Bo forgave her so easily. It only made her love her more. She really was prefect. She let out a deep breath with this thought and sank deeper in the water. She put her head under the water and just listened to her own heartbeat as the resounded in the water. She came up out from under the water and lay her head back on the tub.

She sat like that with her eyes closed for a long while. She almost fell asleep when she saw the lights flicker from behind her eyelids. She didn't think much of it and she didn't bother opening her eyes. She saw the lights flicker again and feel a cold breeze blow over her.

Her eyes shot open and the room lights still flickered on and off until finally staying off. She tried to call for Bo but it came out in a whisper. She felt cold hands close around her throat but they were like smoke. She couldn't pull them off of her because her hands went right through them. She couldn't move and she felt the hands pushing her under the water. She tried to brace herself against the tub but he was too strong and she went under. She did the only thing she could think of and started to kick as hard as she could. She felt the water splash out of the tub. The hands were not letting up and she was beginning to feel her consciousness slipping away. Bo face entered her mind one last time.

She thought she was dead when she felt warm arms pull her out of the water. Bo was pulling the hair away from her face and yelling at her. She could not really make out the words but her hearing began to come back. Bo saw that she had her eyes open and that she was breathing. Bo pulled her into a tight embrace. Tamsin fell weakly against her body. She felt the warmth that was coming off of Bo's body and didn't want to pull away.

"Oh my God, Tamsin. What happened? I heard you splashing and I ran in to see something dark holding you under water. I thought you were dead." Bo said holding Bo tighter still.

"It was him." Tamsin chocked out.

"How?"

"He came to take me out of the picture so he could get to you. I failed him. I'm not of any more use so he tried to have me killed. If you hadn't have come in when you did, he would have succeeded." Tamsin was aware that Bo was holding her naked form but she didn't care.

"How did he get in here?"

"He doesn't have to take a solid form and neither do his minions. They must have come in through the air vent or the window."

"What can we do?"

"Nothing tonight. We need to stay together and try to seal the windows and doors as best as we can. What about Kenzi?"

"She is out for the night with Dyson. I know she is okay."

Bo let go of Tamsin and she stood up to get out of the tub. Bo couldn't help but stare as droplets of water beaded down her body. Bo watched as a drop fell from her hair and traveled down her chest and to her stomach. Tamsin smirked as she saw Bo watching her and she noticed that Bo's eyes had changed from brown to blue.

"Hey, wanna hand me my towel?"

"Oh yeah, sorry." Said Bo snapping to attention.

"You know you might want to try to control that ladyboner thing you get going on. It's hot and all but that's got to be embarrassing ." Tamsin looked at Bo and grinned.

"What are you talking about?"

"Look in the mirror."

Bo turned and looked in the mirror and saw bright blue eyes staring back at her. She blushed a little because she knew Tamsin could see her attraction to her. She didn't seem to mind Bo looking at her, however.

"When you pick your jaw up off the floor, you might want to go seal the house. It won't be possible to cover everything but we need to do as much as we can. I'll get dressed and meet you in a minute."

Bo walked out of the room and set to work on doing what Tamsin had said. She took out duct tape and covered the cracks around windows and doors. Bo wondered how much good it would really do because no one could hide from Death forever. He always finds a way in. She thought about all Tamsin had said and the risks she was taking. Tamsin didn't she herself as a "good guy" but Bo knew that what she did for her took strength and courage. Those were traits that were hard to come by. She was braver than she thought. Bo heart jumped at the thought. She just wanted to protect Tamsin for everyone and from herself.

Tamsin walked out of the bathroom and up to where Bo was taping up the windows.

"The tape will help but things are going to get worse before they get better. I'm not letting him take you without a fight." Tamsin said putting a hand on Bo shoulder.

"You don't have to put yourself in harm's way for me? I could be dangerous."

"'To be wise and love, exceeds man's might."'

"Was that Shakespeare? I didn't know you could quote Shakespeare from memory."

"You don't live as long as I have and not pick up a few things. Great literature is a hobby of mine. Of course, I did know Shakespeare. He was a friend. Who do you think the inspiration for Taming of the Shrew was?" She Tamsin smiling up at her.

"I thought love would get you killed?"

"We all have to die someday and there are worse ways to go."

Bo moved closer to Tamsin and put her lips to hers. Tamsin didn't let herself think as she kissed Bo back. She felt Bo's tongue against her bottom lip and against her own.

"'Your lips are like witchcraft.'" Tamsin said pulling back.

"I'm all yours. You don't have to keep trying to seduce me. Although I want you to keep using that sexy voice of yours when we get upstairs."

Author's note- Thanks for all the sweet reviews! They were awesome! I wrote most of this chapter during my college graduation. I hope you like it. I know a lot of people have the theory that Bo's dad is Odin, so I wanted to do something different. I hope it works.
