"Trick! Get the hell out here" Bo yelled dragging Tamsin in the Dal with Aife following close behind.

"Isabeau. Don't you ever speak to me in that tone again especially in front of customers and other Fae", Trick said coming out of his barrel room.

But when he saw the succubus even the Blood King backed up.

"Bars closed. Everybody out! Trick yelled.

"What happened? Dyson asked.

"I don't know I've only seen her like this in super succubus form. The night she brought you back from the dead", Trick said looking Bo up and down. He knew this was not good and considering Lauren wasn't with them, it was all but confirmed. He looked to Aife for help but she was no use as she was currently downing a bottle of his best wine.

"Bo. What happened?

"Lauren happened. She's gone", Aife said downing more wine.

"No she's not gone. You and this bitch are going to help me get her back", Bo snapped at Trick.

"Tamsin? Trick asked

"Duh yeah, Tamsin", Bo snapped again.

"Bo...

"Don't Bo me and stop stalling", Bo said.

Trick said Bo again and Bo dropped Tamsin to the ground. She started walking towards him. Trick was retreating.

"Bo! Calm down! Dyson screamed.

"Oh honey the only one that can tame that succubus is hotpants", Kenzi said walking in.

Trick looked at Bo walking towards him again. She didn't say anything but her eyes were saying plenty. The succubus was nearly in complete control.

"Where is he Trick? Bo slowly asked.

"Trickster you better say something and soon", Kenzi said.

"Bo! I don't know exactly", Trick pleaded.

"Bullshit. You're the Blood King", Bo snapped.

"Aife? Trick called.

"You want my help daddy? Aife laughed. "This is all your doing", she said.

"Bo you wouldn't attack the Blood King", Trick said circling around the pool table as quickly as he could.

"Try my patience any further and I will", Bo bristled.

The Train

The maid had tried to make the train as comfortable for Lauren as she could. She felt sorry for her. She wouldn't wish this suffering on anyone.

Lauren was in her room. "Think Lewis think. How do I get to this bastard? It had been what felt like a week to Lauren since she first set foot on this train. She knew somewhere and somehow Bo was fighting to come and get her. But why should the succubus rescue her all the time? She can take care of herself. Bo's life was far more important anyways, that's why she shoved her out of the way. The maid is nice Lauren thought. She reminded Lauren of herself. A slave. This lady had no way to ever be free again if what she said was true. If she could never leave how did she get here to begin with? Who would have left such a sweet soul here cleaning a train that never seemed dirty because Lauren never saw anyone else on this train.

"What a dirty bastard he must be", Lauren thought.

The Dal

Bo was still stalking Trick. He stalled as much as he could but he knew he was running out of excuses and needed to talk to Bo so the succubus would stand down.

Aife had gone back to their hideout. She looked through the books again and found nothing but prophecies. She needed real facts not faery tales. She wanted another one of those cards. That's how Lauren vanished surely there had to be more somewhere. She found a box with Bo's name on it. She picked it up and hurried back to the Dal.

Bo was still stalking Trick. For all his powers as the Blood King. He seemed cowardly to the succubus. She always knew he knew more than he ever shared with any of them. They were like a game of human chess to him. Puppets at his command. But no more. Bo had enough of this bullshit. If he was powerful than so was she. He didn't seem at all concerned that Lauren was missing. All he looked like was a running troll. A liar licking his lips and searching his brain trying to come up with more lies. She glanced over at Tamsin who was now sitting on a bar stool then she glanced back at Trick. She was done.

"I should have known you wouldn't care to help with Lauren. She's only a human to you but she's everything to me. When I see mom, I don't see you, I see my grandmother. I see strength not cowardice. That bitch there, you taught her well, you are both backstabbing cowards", Bo said pointing to Tamsin.

"Bo! Tamsin said.

"Get out", Bo said.

"What? You can't make me leave", Tamsin said.

"Oh? This is my grandfather, so anything of his goes to me. Well everything but his coward traits", Bo snapped.

"Isabeau! Trick said.

"Don't you ever call me that again", Bo said snapping her head in his direction.

"Bo listen to me, I would help you if I could", Tamsin pleaded.

"I told you to get out and do not come back", Bo said sharply.

"Tamsin, please go", Said Dyson.

"Fine! Tamsin snapped walking out.

"Bobo calm down. I am sure you don't mean anything you are saying. You're just upset about Lauren and I understand, but we need all of them", Kenzi said.

"No we don't Mackenzie", Bo said slowly

"Mackenzie? Wow. Ok Bo", Kenzi said shaking her head.

The Train

The sky had turned dark and the lights on the train were brighter. Lauren was tired and hungry. She knew she should have eaten something when Bo asked her to. She wanted to sleep but didn't trust this man the maid kept referring to, not to attack her, or throw her off. She sat at a table with her head propped on her hand. She would nod off and wake up when she heard the train whistle. She had learned that was when it crossed another stop but wouldn't stop. She did drink some water that had been set out for her but that was it. There were coffee pots and fresh danish set out for her but she declined all of it. Lauren never cared much for anyone's baking but her own and coffee was dark enough for anyone to slip something in it. The maid had retired for the night when she brought the food in. The lady never changed clothes and Lauren wish she could at least wash up but undressing was out of the question.

"Come on Bo", Lauren whispered before she nodded off again.

What seemed like an hour had passed and it was suddenly daylight. The sun peeked through puffs of clouds. It almost looked like they were on a airplane. Lauren was up and walking from car to car. She had nothing else to do. No wifi. No TV. Just cars and cars of the same beds, coffee and foods.

Lauren took off her jacket and carried it over her shoulder. At least the train was warm. But she still felt chills run down her spine from time to time. Nighttime had come again.

She arrived at one door that she couldn't open. She tried many times and failed. Finally giving up she turned to walk off. Just as she was about to open the door at the other end of the car, the previous door swung open.

"What? The guy screamed.

Lauren walked back towards him and her eyes were red hot.

"How dare you try to come for Bo", She bristled.

When she got close to him, he wiped his eyes.

"Sleepy? Lauren mocked

"No. I can't see you, you're shining too bright. You're obviously not Bo", He said.

"No. You failed at getting to Bo", Lauren laughed.

"No matter. She will come and we will fulfill our destiny".

Time to taunt the bastard Lauren thought. "Oh yes. She will come. For me", Lauren fired back.

"You seem like a nice human. But you have no idea who you're messing with. My name is Rainer. Bo and I go way back", He said.

"You have no idea who you're messing with. My name is Lauren and I don't give a damn how old you are. Bo is mine".

Rainer laughed. This human had nerve. She made a huge mistake coming here. His smoke was only meant for Bo and humans never leave this train.

The Dal.

"Isabeau", Aife called walking in.

Bo snapped her head in her mother's direction.

"Sweetie this box has your name on it. I think you should open it", Aife said.

"No Bo don't open it", Trick said.

"No? Blood King? If you say no then that means yes to me", Bo said.

"Bo maybe you should listen to Trick", Dyson said.

"Listen to him? Like you do as his good little puppy? Bo laughed.

"Bo what the hell is wrong with you? Dyson.

"Um hello Scooby Doo? Lauren's missing duh", Kenzi said.

Aife walked over and gently set the box on the bar top as Bo joined her.

"It has a very old lock", Bo said.

"No probs BoBo. Gimme a sec", Kenzi said bouncing over.

Bo managed a smile. She had almost forgotten Kenzi's skills.

"Bo I'm begging you not to open that", Trick yelled

"Well you won't help. So apparently I'm helping myself", Bo said.

"Bo you have no idea what's in it or what will happen", Dyson said.

"If you have another idea, share it or shut the hell up", Bo said angrily.

"Bo! Dyson said.

"I get your bullshit Dyson. It's the same as Trick's. You are both waiting for Lauren to die because you think that will automatically point me back in your direction. But you're both wrong. I will never love you like that again. Lauren is my choice for as long as she lives, not yours. Now help or back the hell up". Bo said.

"I tried Trick", Dyson said heading to grab a beer.

"Got it Bo", Kenzi said.

"Thanks Kenzi", Bo smiled at her friend. The only friend besides Aife that she had left in the room.

The Train

Lauren hadn't seen Rainer in a while. She found it funny, that he couldn't see her very well. A human. He couldn't see a human. It made her wonder though since the maid said she never if rarely saw him either. She heard a door opening.

"I'm back", Rainer said.

"What's with the shades? It's dark out", Lauren laughed.

"I told you. I can't see you, you're too bright. But I can make out your image now. Ahhh you are the human doctor indeed", He said.

"What do you want with Bo? Lauren asked directly.

"That is none of your concern. Since you can't stop me", He laughed.

"I can and I will", Lauren said.

"You are not capable", He said.

Lauren laughed. "You can't even look at me without sunglasses so how will you stop me?

"I have the ability to see into the future. Whatever you try. I will see it", He said.

"Unless you're wearing sunglasses you won't see me coming", Lauren laughed again.

"You're cocky for a human", He said.

"Not cocky. Just sure of myself", Lauren said.

Lauren remembered some of the passages she did manage to find in the archives books. She knew a little about him. But nothing about what he needed Bo for.

"Coffee? He offered.

"Hell no. You might be trying to poison me", Lauren said.

"No this is not Hell", He said.

"I am sure it has been for the maid I met", Lauren said.

"She has never seen me so how would I know her sorrows", He said.

"She cleans for you. Although I'm not sure what she cleans since you two are the only one's I've seen so far", Lauren said.

"It's her job, whether it's clean or not". He said.

"Let her go", Lauren said.

"She will be set free once Bo comes for me and...

"And what? Lauren asked.

"It won't matter to you much", He said.

"Bo matters to me", Lauren snapped.

"You should try to forget about her. She's mine", He said.

"Is that right? Lauren said walking towards him.

Rainer started screaming.

The Dal

Bo had opened the box only to discover there was a glass with black smoke inside.

"What the hell is this? Bo asked Aife.

"Smoke it seems", Aife answered.

"Well the last time we saw black smoke...", Bo said trailing off.

"If you don't try I will", Aife said softly.

"No. No. I will do it", Bo said.

"Stand back everyone", Bo said.

"Bo you can't", Tamsin screamed.

Bo looked at Tamsin in a mocking but threatening way.

Bo took the lid off and stood back herself to allow time for the smoke to be released.

A blonde woman appeared. She was so identical to Lauren, Kenzi almost thought she was Lauren.

"Who the hell are you?

"I'm Hugin's wife", the lady said.

Aife attacked her immediately. "Ohhh you're his bitch", She laughed.

"Where is Rainer? Aife asked.

"I don't...

"Don't even go there with me", Aife said.

"Well I can lead you to him...but first where is Hugin?

"Well shit", Aife laughed.

"Well where is he?

"He's dead", Bo said

"What? And his brother?

"Maggot food", Kenzi said.

"Thank you! The lady screamed.

"Huh? Bo asked.

"I am finally free of both of those bastards", the lady said.

The gang laughed in unison.

"So you will help me then? Bo asked.

"Of course. I can take you but you only. Btw my name is Abbigail", she said smiling at Bo.

"Nice to meet you Abbigail and I'm ready whenever you are", Bo said.
