Hi All!
I'm sorry it's taken so long, but at first work was super busy and then it was Christmas (Also, I'm in Australia so keep in mind that it's currently summer here and thus the Christmas period involves many barbeques and copious amounts of alcohol – it's the Australian way I tell you!) and so admittedly I have been intoxicated… rather consistently.
But anywho! I digress… here is the latest instalment.
Usual warnings and disclaimers: Blatant minor spelling/grammar (sorry) Dubious/non consent… if you don't like that kind of thing, don't read it… bla bla bla… where's my beer?
The Morrigan strode into the decadent hall, which was occupied by a crowd of lavishly dressed guests. She had invited some of the most prominent fae elders from both the light and the dark and she smiled graciously at her guests as she made her way to the makeshift podium at the forefront of the dining hall.
The mansion she had come to occupy for her rather extravagant cocktail party belonged to a prominent human Politian who's now lifeless corpse lay in one of the many suites of the elaborate homestead.
She stood in an elegant black dress as she addressed the room of elders before her.
"As most of you now know, the pride and joy of clan Zamora has retired from his duties as acting Ash. I'm sure that his incompetence as a leader came as a great shock to you all; as of course - it did to me. The former Ash and I had expelled a great deal of energy and resources in finding ways for our clans to work together and now more than ever is this legacy of the upmost importance. For centuries we have allowed select humans to exist in our world, but the time has now come for this kindness to end… "
The elders nodded along in agreement and the Morrigan proceeded with her speech as two of her bodyguards emerged in the doorway of the hall.
"Terrorists. That is the title now given to any claimed or unclaimed humans aware of the Fae's existence. The recent actions of the light Fae's human pet; Dr Lauren Lewis should be proof enough that we simply have no room for these…" the Morrigan's attention was then captured by one of the guards as he signaled to her from across the room.
She eyed him curiously for a moment before she turned back to address the crowd "Excuse me, but it appears as if I have rather pressing matter that requires my urgent attention. But please, do make yourselves at home and enjoy the buffet" she clapped her hands twice and another door at the far side of the hall opened and several chained humans were lead into the room one after another. As the elders smiled in delight at the offering, the Morrigan quickly stepped down from the podium and headed towards the bodyguard who had signaled towards her earlier.
"This better be good" The Morrigan snapped as she passed the guard and walked into the spacious hallway. Her eyes landed on the detained Mesmer and Evony's smile widened at the sight of Vex squirming against the grip of two of her bodyguards.
"Vexy…" she purred brightly "Oh I'm so pleased you could make it… I've been looking for you everywhere" she beamed sinisterly.
Vex looked apprehensive as he shifted uncomfortably and gave a nervous laugh in response as the Morrigan smiled back at him superficially.
"So darling… " Vex interjected nervously "About those photo's… you know, I obviously deleted them… But you've got to admit, it was a pretty good practical joke…" He smiled back at her like an anxious schoolboy.
As the Morrigan stepped toward him threateningly the Mesmer practically squealed with fear.
As she drew closer Vex closed his eyes in a terrified anticipation until he was startled by the sound of screams coming from the grand hall. The Morrigan turned towards the sound as the number of screams increased dramatically. She looked to her bodyguards in confusion before she turned back to face Vex.
"I'll deal with you later" she said over her shoulder in a threatening tone and Vex visibly gulped in a mixture of gratitude and fear as he watched the dark leader head back towards the hall.
The Morrigan opened the doors to reveal a sea of bodies littering the floor. Evony looked about the room in outrage before her eyes landed on the podium and met the gaze of Ysabeau who smiled back her wickedly. Black smoke had begun to envelop the succubus but she quickly blew a kiss towards the Morrigan before her figure disappeared altogether.
The dark leader surveyed the room in shock as she was met with nothing more than the lifeless smiles of her former guests.
Lauren stood limp in the middle of the cell, her arms stretched painfully as they struggled to hold the weight of her body. Ysabeau had continued to whip the blonde relentlessly until she had finally begun to pass in and out of consciousness from the pain.
It had been a few hours since Ysabeau had left the Doctor alone in the cell but every time Lauren woke she looked about the cell frantically searching for the dark succubus.
Ysabeau stood quietly behind the doctor as she watched the blonde curiously.
"Did you miss me?"
The sickly sweet voice of the Succubus evoked a temporary panic from within the doctor.
Lauren's chest heaved as she struggled to breathe, every movement resulting in pure agony as the excursion and her injuries slowly began to force her back into the darkness once again.
"Oh no, no, no" the Succubus scoffed "It's time to play," she added before she held her palm to the doctors battered and bleeding back.
The sensation of Ysabeau's hand against her broken skin pulled Lauren back from the brink as she cried out in pain.
Ysabeau smiled at the sound as she held her hand firmly against the doctor.
The blonde felt the familiar searing heat begin to radiate from the brunette's hand and she sobbed dejectedly when the succubus proceeded to heal her wounds. Lauren felt fresh tears begin to pool as the pain began to subside, pulling her away from the potential relief of her unconscious.
"That's better… I can't have you disappearing on me now can I?" Ysabeau said almost affectionately as the last of the scarring left Lauren's back and the blonde's legs regained some strength.
"I had quite the night!" Ysabeau beamed as she walked around to face the blonde. "Want to hear about it?" she asked in excited anticipation.
Lauren's expression remained devoid of any emotion. She hated it the most when Ysabeau tried to engage in normal conversation with her.
"Why don't you just spare me and skip to whatever depraved torture you obviously had planned" Lauren replied in a monotone voice.
"Ooohh… Kitty likes to scratch! I like it!" Ysabeau roared with delight as her hand reached up to cup the blonde's face affectionately.
Lauren felt her blood begin to boili as the Succubus's hand dropped down towards one of her breasts and the blonde spat back at Ysabeau in disgust.
Ysabeau was momentarily stunned by the actions of the doctor before her hand lifted to wipe away the remnants of the blonde's saliva, which had landed right on the succubus's cheek.
Lauren glared back at the brunette furiously before an open hand sharply collided with her face. The human's head snapped violently to the right at the force of the Ysabeau's slap.
Lauren winced slightly as the handprint on her left cheek began to burn.
"Now that's not how we play Lauren." Ysabeau lectured the doctor patronizingly.
Although fearful of the response, Lauren challenged anyway "And what if I don't want to play?"
"Well… I make the rules, remember?" the brunette added condescending.
Lauren breathed deeply as she stared back into the dangerous gaze of the Succubus "You will never own me" the blonde stated flatly.
"Take a look around you Doc… I'd say I already do" Ysabeau said simply as Lauren stared back at her in defiance.
"Now, are you going to behave or should I just get the whip again?'' Ysabeau asked threateningly as fear suddenly radiated from Lauren's face.
Ysabeau examined the blonde thoughtfully; her hair had fallen around her face and cascaded down around her bare breasts. Her chest was heaving slightly. The succubus's gaze continued down until her eyes fell upon the doctor's lower half and to the black underwear that the brunette had chosen for her earlier.
"Mmm..." the succubus purred as her lips drew closer to the doctor's "You remember how much I like it when you behave, don't you?" she asked in a low tone as her hands fell upon the doctor's skin.
Lauren shuddered before hatred flickered from behind her eyes.
Ysabeau hands came to rest on either side of the blonde's hips as she winked at the doctor suggestively. Lauren's mouth dropped open in retaliation before she felt a wave of arousal flow from the Succubus's hand and explode throughout her body. Lauren inhaled deeply before Ysabeau pulsed another wave of desire through the doctor.
The succubus's dark eyes shone wildly as she watched Lauren struggle to contain the groan that escaped her lips. Ysabeau's smile broadened as she leant slowly towards the doctor's ear.
"I bet you can still taste my cum in your mouth" she whispered slowly as she sent another pulse through the doctor and Lauren felt a sharp sting of stimulation race between her thighs. The blonde's breathing became more and more laboured as Ysabeau's right hand dragged down the doctor's skin slowly.
Lauren's heart pounded loudly as Ysabeau's left hand rose to pull the doctor's hair to the side, revealing the pale skin of the blonde's neck. Her right hand moved between the doctor's thighs and Lauren moaned deeply as the succubus's lips fell upon her throat while her right hand pulsed a wave of desire straight into the blonde's centre.
Lauren shut her eyes tightly as she tried to focus away from Ysabeau's tongue dragging up her neck and the hand pulsing steadily against her underwear.
Ysabeau's finger's pushed firmly against the black fabric as she began to massage the blonde's clit and Lauren's head lulled back as the succubus planted hot, wet kisses around the doctor's neck.
Lauren exhaled raggedly as she felt the brunette's hand slide over the top of her underwear and she clenched her teeth as Ysabeau's fingers came to rest directly on her clit.
"Stop…" Lauren sighed in protest before another pulse flew through her centre.
The brunette dragged her index finger through the blonde's slit and sighed in satisfaction at the pool of wetness that she found there. Lauren gasped at the sudden intrusion as her face reddened with shame.
"I don't think you want me to stop" Ysabeau purred before her head lowered to the blonde's chest and her tongue began circling one of Lauren's nipples.
The doctor's legs threatened to give out once again as the brunette continued to drag her fingers through the blonde's folds teasingly.
On one hand, her body yearned for the Succubus to plunge her fingers deep inside but Lauren's mind was screaming at her to fight.
The Succubus raised her head back up to face the doctor, her eyes penetrating the blonde's forcefully.
"Now…you are going to beg me for release," the brunette commanded firmly.
Lauren's eyes narrowed in objection before her jaw suddenly dropped at the feel of Ysabeau's fingers slowly entering her. The brunette pushed deeper into the blonde and watched in amusement as horror and arousal washed over the doctor's face simultaneously.
"No…" Lauren cried desperately "Please" she begged
Ysabeau cocked her head at this in sheer delight "Please? Well that is a good start!" she said seductively as her fingers delved deeper into the blonde.
Lauren's breath was shaky as the brunette proceeded to pull in and out of her agonizingly slowly and her head began to swim when the succubus started to gently nip at her throat.
Lauren felt added humiliation when her hips involuntarily jerked against the succubus's fingers, pushing the brunette's hand forcefully deeper. Ysabeau laughed from the crook of Lauren's neck, before her tongue swept out to taste the sweat now starting to form on the doctor's skin.
Lauren wanted it to stop but her body was betraying her. Every time Ysabeau pulsed another wave through her, she lost the ability to form thought and could do nothing to stop the loud groans that escaped her mouth.
The brunette's hand began to quicken in pace as the Succubus proceeded to bite the doctor's neck. Lauren felt the tension rising within her as Ysabeau's hand continued to pulse each time her fingers re-entered the doctor.
When the succubus sent a short wave straight to the blonde's g-spot - Lauren felt as if she were about to explode. She moaned uncontrollably as Ysabeau's smile grew wide against the blonde's skin.
"Say it" Ysabeau purred as she sent another pulse through the blonde. "C'mon… I know you want to" she teased seductively.
Lauren felt her body begin to shake as the tension within her continued to build to the point of eruption.
"Say it" Ysabeau repeated firmly as she felt the blonde nearing the edge.
"Please…" Lauren sighed heavily as she struggled against her impending explosion.
"Yes?" Ysabeau cooed in anticipation before she sent another sharp pulse toward Lauren's g-spot.
Lauren hissed as her shoulders began to shake. "Please… " The doctor whimpered
"Hmm?" Ysabeau teased before her eyes rose to meet Lauren's in expectation.
The blonde's breathing had become wretchedly ragged as her eyes struggled to focus on the succubus.
Lauren inhaled deeply, determined to focus all of her energy into the electric eyes of the brunette, her own shining with rebellion.
''Please…Get the fuck off me" Lauren said directly, trying her best to sound as if she were not about to lose all of her willpower.
The succubus's eyebrows furrowed in conjecture as she stared back at the shaking blonde's defiant gaze.
She looked at the doctor for a moment, before she inhaled slightly and pulled back, her hand slowing to a stand still from within the doctor.
Lauren breathed deeply as she fought the urge to grind herself against the powerful brunette's hand.
Sounds of the human's laboured breathing filled the room as Ysabeau assessed the trembling blonde in astonishment.
"Well…" the succubus remarked, as if impressed "I always did like a challenge" she added coolly.
The brunette smiled wickedly as her fingers quickly pulled out of the doctor and Lauren gasped at the violent retreat of Ysabeau's hand.
The brunette wiped her fingers on her pants uncaringly before she moved to pick up the whip from behind the doctor once more.
Lauren continued to shake as she fought against her body's violent need for release.
Ysabeau looked from the whip back to the quivering blonde's now unscathed back and a smile crept across her face as she relished the sight before her.
"Oh well..." Ysabeau sighed in mock disappointment "It looks like we're back to this again," she added with a smile before her arm raised the whip to strike.
Hale walked into the dishevelled Dal to be greeted by Dyson.
"Hale…" Dyson smiled as he stepped toward the siren with open arms.
"My man!" Hale replied warmly as the two exchanged an awkward man hug, followed by firm back patting from both parties.
"Wow" Hale sighed as he looked at the remnants of a bar stool "Is it just me or does this place look worse than normal?" he added
"It was like this when we got here," Dyson replied as looked about the bar
"Trick is going to be one angry…" Hale trailed off at the sound of boots clicking against the wooden floorboards. He watched as Kenzi immerged from trick's den, her eyes firmly focused on the cell-phone in the palm of her hand.
"Dyson, should we…" she started, still distracted with the phone before her eye's drifted upwards in search of the wolf...Instead they landed straight on Hale.
A mixture of surprise and relief flooded the Russian's face momentarily before she remembered that she was severely pissed with the siren and her eyes hardened into a glare.
Dyson looked between the angry human and the startled siren before deciding to try and diffuse the situation "K-Star? Did you find something?" The wolf offered helpfully as Hale continued to stare at the small girl in disbelief.
Reluctantly, Kenzi broke her eye contact with Hale and turned to face Dyson. "No… I just" she sighed dejectedly "…Is there somebody we should call? For Bruce, I mean?"
Hale noticed the tear stains lining Kenzi's cheeks as Dyson reached out for cell-phone. "Ill make some calls," the wolf offered as the girl handed him the phone with a forced but albeit appreciative smile.
"What happened?" Hale questioned as he looked to Dyson in confusion.
Dyson looked to Kenzi before he decided to step in "We had a run in with Ysabeau…" the wolf began "Bruce didn't make it," he added gravely as he watched Kenzi's eyes threaten to well with tears once again.
"How?" the siren asked despairingly.
Kenzi's brows furrowed in anger before she turned to face the former Ash "Gee, I wonder! She sucked him dry like a juice pop - obviously!" she snapped heatedly "and since when do you care anyway?" Her words cut through the siren like a knife.
"What? Of course I care" Hale replied defensively and Kenzi let out a condescending sigh as she shook her head at the siren in scepticism.
"I can't believe this is happening" Hale uttered in frustration as his hands reached up to cover his mouth while he sighed.
"Really? You can't believe that bad things happen to your so-called 'friends' when you abandon them?" Kenzi said contemptuously
"Kenzi…" Dyson interjected quickly before he was cut off by Hale
"What?" The siren exclaimed incredulously as Kenzi avoided his gaze. "Abandon? Kenzi –" Hale stopped short, unable to find the rights words.
He took a breath before he moved toward the girl and stopped short a few steps in front of her.
"I would NEVER let anything happen to you". Hale searched the girl's eyes desperately, fighting the urge to sweep her up into a hug.
She stared back at him for a moment before her expression hardened. "I guess you're too late for that" she replied coldly before she took a step back.
"Dyson" she turned to address the wolf once more "let me know when you have something on Bruce" she added before she turned and headed back towards Tricks den.
Hale stood there heartbroken as he watched the girl retreat from the bar. He breathed deeply as he replayed Kenzi's words over in his head.
Dyson placed a reassuring hand on the siren's shoulder "Maybe just give her a chance to cool down" He offered compassionately and after a moment Hale sighed and slowly nodded in agreement.
The former Ash looked around the bar, searching for a distraction until he turned to face the wolf "Where's Bo?"
Bo's Camero came to a halt outside the abandoned warehouse. The brunette turned the ignition of the car off while Tamsin surveyed the building from the passenger's seat. They slowly disembarked the car to examine the rusted iron doorway guarding the entrance.
Bo strode toward it with purpose and as her hand landed on the doorknob, the Valkryie reached out to stop her.
The brunette turned to face the blonde with a questioning expression.
"Just let me do the talking ok?" Tamsin ordered quickly as she pushed past Bo to open the door.
Bo gave the blonde a 'WTF does that mean?' look before she sighed in defeat.
"Fine" the brunette added coolly before she followed the blonde into the warehouse.
As Bo stepped inside, she inspected the space before her. Containers lined the walls as the room opened up to show a mass of concrete space. Massimo stood idly on the far side of the warehouse, casually leaning against an old container. His eyes lifted as he heard the two women enter.
"And to what do I owe this pleasure ladies?" he smiled sweetly.
"We need a favor" The Valkryie replied as she moved toward him quickly and Bo followed behind her.
"Well I'd say you're fresh out of those by now wouldn't you?" he remarked casually.
Tamsin sighed with frustration "Fine dude... What do you want?" she looked the Druid up and down impatiently.
"From a dying Valkryie?" He said sarcastically, "It doesn't sound as if you have much to offer..." he stated simply before he turned to look at Bo "But she on the other hand... has something to trade"
"Ok... let's cut the bullshit and you just skip to part where you tell us what it is that you want" Tamsin replied irritably
Massimo chuckled in amusement as he smiled back at the blonde "Now who said anything about what I want?"
Suddenly the warehouse doors opened up and a swarm of both light and dark Fae flooded through them.
Bo watched as the crowd began to form a circle around her and the Valkryie. The brunette's expression turned to one of concern as she remembered her newfound humanity and she stepped closer towards the blonde. Tamsin took a protective stance in front of the former succubus as the fae surrounding them glared at Bo menacingly.
"So you want to trade?" Bo questioned Massimo from behind the Valkryie "…Well unfortunately I left my rock collection at home today..." she remarked sarcastically.
"Really?" Tamsin muttered to the brunette in disbelief.
"There is but one thing you have that we want" Massimo confirmed
"Ok…" Bo replied, "…I'm are all ears"
The mob before them began to open up slightly as the sound of stilettos clicked against concrete and echoed loudly throughout the warehouse.
As the crowd began to part like the red sea, the Morrigan came into view as she sauntered towards Bo with intent.
The brunette's eyes widened as she stared back at the leader of the dark fae.
Evony glared back at the brunette "Well…why don't we just start with your heart?"
Bo gulped inwardly before she looked to Tamsin and muttered under her breath "Let you do the talking huh?"
Hale sat at the bar of the Dal alone, drowning his sorrows in a bottle of whiskey.
A few hours prior Hale had received a call from a friend advising that the Una-mens were in town and that they were looking for Bo. Dyson had essentially taken off immediately in search of the brunette.
The former Ash sighed into his glass before he heard the footsteps of the human exit Trick's den.
"Oh… it's you" Kenzi stated, trying her best to sound disappointed.
Hale ignored the comment and instead turned his attentions to the half-drained glass of booze in his hand.
With hale not omitting the angst-filled reaction she was going for, Kenzi decided to test the water again.
"So where is D-man?" the Russian asked trying to seem impatient.
"He went to find his girl" The siren replied before he reconsidered his own words "I mean, Lauren's girl…" he corrected himself before he thought about the statement again… "Whatever, he went to find Bo." He added finally before he took another sip of his drink in defeat.
Kenzi looked at the siren with an almost sense adoration before she decided to throw him a bone.
"I have trouble keeping up these days too…" she offered quietly.
The siren looked at her almost thankfully in that moment. " Want a drink?" He asked "It's on the house" he added enticingly
"Well, when you put it like that…" Kenzi replied as she pulled up a stool next to Hale.
He reached over the bar for another glass. He set the empty tumbler down upon on the bar top and grabbed the bottle of whiskey.
"Woah, woah, woah!" Kenzi exclaimed as she motioned for the siren not to pour the whiskey.
Hale looked at the human in confusion before her hand disappeared behind the bar.
After a moment of body contortion, she pulled back from the bar holding an unopened bottle of scotch which she then set upon the bar top before proceeding to open it. Hale pushed the empty tumbler closer towards her and watched in amusement as the Russian's right hand disappeared behind the bar once more and reappeared clutching a straw.
She turned to face the siren and gave him a "What?" look. "I know the owner" she replied casually before she dumped the straw into the bottle and took a sip.
A large man pushed Tamsin away from Bo as he gripped the brunette firmly. Tamsin reacted immediately and tried to pull the man off Bo before she found herself in the strong grip of two other large fae men.
"I'd say we're moving a little fast here wouldn't you buddy?" Bo started "The least you could do is buy a girl a drink first" she remarked before the man pulled a knife and held it to her throat. Bo hesitated at the feel of the sharp blade before she drew a deep breath.
"What can I say? I guess he's not the wine and dine type" Evony replied coolly as she looked the brunette up and down… "But neither were you when you murdered our elders last night"
"Wait… what?" Bo replied in confusion before she felt the blade pinch her skin.
"Oh come on! That little innocent act you've got going on isn't fooling anyone anymore." the Morrigan rebutted
"Lady, I didn't killed anyone last night" Bo insisted.
"Nice try" The Morrigan replied cynically.
"She's telling the truth!" Tamsin interrupted as she struggled against her own captors.
"Oh ok, so if the pussy-whipped Valkryie says it so - it must be true" Evony replied mockingly as the crowd snickered in response.
Tamsin's face started to turn red and Bo ignored the comment.
"Seriously, I have no idea what are you talking about" Bo exclaimed
"Oh please momento! Just how stupid do you think I am? You murdered 20 fae elders last night and now what? You develop a sudden case of amnesia? How convenient" The Morrigan snapped.
The Mesmer suddenly appeared by Evony's side, looking genuinely scared of Bo.
"Vex!" Bo's eyes shone with anger "I should have known you would have something to do with this" she added.
"I'm sorry love but this was all you" he replied sheepishly
"What are you talking about?" Bo spat back at him
"Last night, you… helping yourself to a buffet of elders…" he continued
"As if the event wasn't catered to begin with!" The Morrigan interjected on a side-note.
"Ysabeau!" Tamsin said in recognition as she turned to look at Bo.
"Look, I know this sounds crazy, but that wasn't me" the former succubus exclaimed
"That's a nice story… maybe you can tell it to the Una-men's while they rip your heart out…" Evony added
"The Una-What?" Bo questioned.
The leader of the dark fae sighed impatiently. "Enough!" Evony bellowed. "You broke fae law… and now you will pay for it with your life"
"Well I would… If your fae law actually applied to me anymore" Bo stated matter of factly.
"Bo…don't" Tamsin warned but the former Succubus ignored the blonde.
"Unaligned or not… we are all governed by the laws of the blood king Succu-bitch" Evony lectured.
"Oh yeah?" Bo challenged, "Do these laws also apply to a human?" she stared back at the Morrigan confidently.
Evony laughed, "Oh, this is priceless…A human huh? You really are scraping the bottom of the barrel this time"
"Yeah, it's a regular laugh riot." Bo interjected sarcastically "You don't believe me?" she challenged, "Come and see for yourself then"
The Morrigan looked at Bo quizzing before she slowly moved towards the brunette.
"You try anything and I'll slit your throat," the man holding Bo warned as he pushed the blade harder into the skin of the brunette's throat.
Evony leant in hesitantly and slowly brought her face closer to Bo's. Their lips finally met and Bo gave her best attempt at a passionate kiss.
After a moment, Evony slowly withdrew from the brunette.
"It's true" The Morrigan exclaimed in astonishment before her face contorted in disgust at the realization of kissing a human – former fae or not. "Oh god…" she added in revulsion as she feverishly began to wipe her own mouth with her hand.
"Yeah well, it didn't do much for me either sweetie…" Bo spat back at the leader of the dark fae.
"Bloody hell!" Vex exclaimed as he looked at Bo in bewilderment.
"Now if you're satisfied can you call your goons off of me already?" Bo snapped contemptuously.
The Morrigan stepped into the disheveled Dal and smiled inwardly at the havoc that had been reaped upon the way station.
"I like what Trick's done with the place… very shabby chic" she said in a patronizing tone.
Kenzi immediately froze at the sound of the dark leader's voice and turned to see the Morrigan standing at the entrance of the Dal.
"What the fae is she doing here?" Kenzi glared at the Morrigan and then at Hale.
The siren threw his hands up defensively "Hey, I didn't invite her!" he exclaimed as Kenzi continued to death glare him.
"I did" Bo interrupted as she walked into the Dal followed by the crowd of fae from the warehouse.
She ushered them into the space, which also earned her another dirty look from the Russian.
"Kenze, we need all the help we can get right now" she explained to her bestie before she turned to survey the crowd that was slowly gathering inside the bar.
Dyson walked through the front door following behind a few straggling latecomers. He spotted Bo from across the room and rushed to her side.
"Bo! Are you alright?" the Wolf questioned
"I'm fine" she assured him
"We've got more problems" he started
"The Una-mens by any chance?" Bo replied in a knowing tone.
"How did you?" Dyson started.
"It's a long story" Bo interjected "One I wish I had time to tell…" her words drifted off as she surveyed the large group of fae before her.
"Ok, everybody listen up!" she addressed the crowd. "We are facing something that is bigger than just the light and dark... And we are all on the line here. So we need to work together if we stand any chance of fighting this".
"Fighting you - you mean?" Vex interjected accusingly.
Bo sighed as the truth of his words hit home "Yes" she replied quietly.
"Bo's right" Dyson said supportively "We need to be united on this...and we all need to pull every resource available in order to figure out how to defeat the wanderer".
"Speaking of resources..." Vex began as he looked about the bar curiously "I don't see Doctor Love prancing about... fawning over the fallen hero." he bellowed loudly to all in the bar before he turned to address Bo again "Has your girlfriend got stage fright?" he mocked as Bo's expression became hate-filled.
"Yes… where is the human terrorist?" The Morrigan added.
"Lauren is not a terrorist" Bo said between clenched teeth.
"You could have fooled me" the Morrigan interrupted casually "I do recall your traitor of a girlfriend's name labeled very clearly on the poison injected into teen wolf over there" she motioned toward Dyson.
"It wasn't her" Dyson replied quickly as he watched Bo eyes well with emotion.
"In the Doc's defense….It was that crazy-ass Taft guy" Kenzi offered
"I'm sorry..." Evony began sarcastically as she refused to look at Kenzi "Is that the soon to be corpse of your pet human actually speaking to me?" she mocked.
Kenzi's eyes shone fiercely as she stepped toward the Morrigan.
"Bitch - it is so on" she muttered before Hale grabbed the Russian and pulled her back. Kenzi retaliated in outrage as the siren held her firmly in place.
"Stop it!" Bo yelled angrily. "All of you - need to stop! This isn't helping"
Kenzi elbowed the siren off her aggressively before she turned her attention toward the brunette.
"Lauren is no terrorist and Kenzi is not my pet." Bo faced the Morrigan directly "You need to call off your lynch mob" the brunette said threatening before she raised her voice to the other occupants of the bar "...otherwise, we may as well all go home and wait for the wanderer to come and find us" She added simply and the room fell silent.
"Humans are not the enemy" she continued "...But I can tell you right now that my father is." she added in a matter of fact tone.
"So you can all either put your differences aside and join us... Or you can continue being petty while you stand here with one foot in the grave." She challenged.
"The choice is yours... But I, for one... am not just going to sit here bickering and pointing fingers" she added with frustration before she turned towards the exit.
She started walking as Dyson, Hale, and Kenzi slowly made a move to follow behind her.
A voice rose up from the crowd and it stopped Bo dead in her tracks. "What do you need?"
She turned back to face the crowd in bewilderment as an older dark fae elder shuffled to the front of the crowd, expectantly awaiting a reply.
As usual all reviews (good and bad) are greatly appreciated.
