Prophecy of Power

Chapter 11

Lauren had just had the fastest shower in existence, and was just wrapping her hair in a towel, when a knock on the door announced Bo's and Kenzi's arrival. Walking bare foot to the door, she looked through the peep hole first just to be sure, before opening the door to let them in.

"Hi Hot Pants, I brought extra wine," Kenzi says, striding into the living room, two bottles raised high. "Where is your bottle opener?, lets let these babies breathe so that I can drink 'em faster."

Lauren barely heard Kenzi, her eyes were transfixed on Bo, who still stood on the threshold, openly staring back, undressing the blonde with her eyes. Lauren still marvelled at how Bo made her feel completely seen and wanted, her pulse raced from the heat seen in the succubus gaze.

"Never mind, I'll just find it myself shall I, jeez get a room already. Bo get your ass in here so we can shut the door, it's fucking freezing outside."

"Oh right sorry Kenz, I got kind of distracted," Bo says, as she continued her perusal of the doctor, in her tight jeans and three quarter sleeved pink button down. Several buttons were undone to allow the brunette a fine view of the doctors long slender neck. Bo licked her lips unconsciously before stepping into the room, brushing past the doctor causing the blonde to shiver at the contact, her breath hitching in her throat. Lauren closes the door and turns to find Bo standing close enough to reach out and touch, she could feel the pull that seems to always be there now, urging her forward to close that small amount of distance, to get as close as she possibly could to her.

Kenzi, slips into the small gap between them causing them to both break eye contact and look at the exasperated goth girl breaking the connection between them. "Snap out of it! I'm hungry and I'm not in the mood to watch eye sex, between you two ladies all night. Lauren finds her voice first, looking slightly embarrassed about the effect Bo seems to have on her.

"Sorry Kenzi, actually could you order the food? The numbers on the fridge, I need to finish getting dressed. Bo make yourself comfortable, I won't be long." The blonde turns and hurries back up the stairs, feeling Bo's eyes watching her all the way to her room.

"God Bo, keep it in your pants. We only just got here, what's with you?" Kenzi says as she dials the number for the take out joint. She holds up a finger and says, "Hold that thought, let me order the food first, I'm wasting away here." Bo finds three glasses and fills them with the rich burgundy liquid from one of the bottles Kenzi had opened. She drains one completely and refills it, in the time it takes for her friend to order the food.

"So, what's going on Bo? You realise you haven't even spoken to Lauren yet, you just stared and totally gave her one with just your eyes."

"I feel a connection to her, it's like nothing I have ever experienced before. I mean, I felt a connection before but now, since feeding from her and I guess me transferring the chi back into Lauren, it's increased like ten fold." Bo says, a little worry crossing her features. "You don't think she under my thrall, do you ?"

"No, no nothing like that, she would be like a robot right?"

"That's correct Kenzi," Lauren says, hearing the last part of the conversation. She looks at Bo, "I feel it too, but I'm still me. I just feel tethered to you in some way, it must be from you...bringing me back with your essence. Tell me, is there anything different about my aura?"

Bo looks intently at the doctors aura, trying to remember how it used to burn and if there were any differences to how it is now. "Well you have always burned brighter than anyone I have ever seen, but now there is a subtle tinge of pink that sort of swirls around amongst all the brightness. Is that my essence, that I'm seeing?" Feeling the renewed desire from the energy surrounding the doctor, Bo lowers her eyes, grabbing her glass of wine and taking a large mouth full.

"Man Bo, save some for the rest of us, jeez," Kenzi says grabbing her glass and passing Lauren hers. A knock at the door indicates the arrival of the food and Kenzi sqeals with delight as she heads for the door. "You got money Hot Pants?" She says over her shoulder.

Lauren pulls several bills from her jeans pocket and walks over to the door and the young Asian man holding out his hand to be paid, as Kenzi grabs the food and races to the kitchen to start dishing it out. The blonde thanks the man, before closing and locking the door and heads towards the fabulous smells wafting towards her from the kitchen. Lauren lets out a groan at the first mouthful of the sweet and sour pork, she hadn't eaten since the bowl of fruit she ate this morning. The three woman just eat for a few minutes in comfortable silence, each enjoying the food and wine.

"So, how did the last session go with Dr. Patterson? How many sessions did you have? Are you sure you don't need to continue seeing her?" Bo asks, concern for the blondes well being evident.

"I had four sessions with her and I think I will be okay. It's quite fascinating actually, I can recall the memories over the last few weeks but I don't feel anything, when I do. It's like watching a silent movie, I see the images but they provoke no feelings at all," Lauren says eyes sparkling. "I would really love to study her and her abilities, to add to my database."

"Okay down girl, you are getting dangerously geeky again," Kenzi says, smiling at the doctors excitement.

"I love it when she gets geeky," Bo protests, with her own smile.

"Exactly my point. I'm trying to avoid more eye sex between you two, for my sanity if nothing else," Kenzi replies glaring between the two women. Both laugh at Kenzi's comment, before Lauren turns serious.

"The Ash was here waiting for me, when I got home, from my therapists appointment."

"Oh and what did the Ashhole want," the goth girl says, as Bo nods her head, concern on both of their faces.

"Bo, I need to tell you something, I don't want anything to come between us, so that means telling you things that I'm not sure you are ready to hear," Lauren says uncertainly, glancing towards Kenzi for support.

"Yeah I think she is strong enough to hear it now. Bo Bo saw your Dr. Patterson too, I think she's good to go, lay it on her," Kenzi looks at Bo, ready to run interference for the doctor if she needs to.

"You are keeping things from me again, Lauren?" The doctor flinches at the pain crossing across the succubus' features.

"Bo Bo, she told me everything. It was both our decision to wait until you were strong enough to hear it." Kenzi wills Bo to understand that they were doing it for her.

The brunette closes her eyes for a moment, before retuning her gaze to the fidgeting blonde. "Okay, I'm listening."

Lauren tells Bo everything that was said by The Ash, when she had entered the lab and found him waiting for her. The brunette allowed her to talk, without interrupting, eyes going wide every now and again, otherwise giving away nothing on what she was feeling. After the doctor had finished, she waited for Bo to process everything as she sipped at her wine.

"So there is an ancient prophecy, presumably depicting me as a champion?" The succubus laughs at the absurdity of what the blonde has just told her. Both of the women are shocked by the reaction and just watch as the brunette laughs and shakes her head in disbelief. "Oh please, give me a break, it's probably just a ploy to encourage me to pick a side or something," Bo says, unable to think of herself in such a commanding and important light in the fae world.

"Bo there is a reason they didn't just kill you after the trials. No one has ever not chosen a side. I believe there is something to this and am going to research it, whether you believe it or not," Lauren says resolutely, feeling a little annoyed at Bo's flip reaction to the revelation she had just announced.

Bo feels the annoyance behind the doctors words, and ceases her amusement at the whole thing. "Sorry Lauren, it's just so out there. There is nothing special about me."

"That is where our views differ Bo, I think you are remarkable and infinitely special. I think you have barely touched the surface of what you are capable of," Lauren says seriously.

"Sorry Succuface but I think I am siding with the Doc on this one." Bo gives the Russian girl a reproachful look. "What? You are special to me too, you continually amaze me with what you are capable of." Bo sighs in resignation.

"Fine, I know when I'm outnumbered. Let's drink that other bottle of wine and dwell on more pleasant things. Can we do that, I just want to enjoy being in the company of my two favourite girls."

"Sure Bo Bo, I'm always up for more drinking. Hot Pants?"

"Yeah, there's another bottle chilling in the fridge as well."

"Alright lets get this party started," Kenzi squeals in delight grabbing the other two bottles of wine.
