Chapter 11
Bo ran back to the building, thinking that she could get in through the window she just got out of. She had to hide on the way a few times, to avoid being seen by the Una Mens. She noticed that some trucks were still being loaded with crates, but a few others were being unloaded as well. Bo watched a small group of people carrying things into the factory, but she couldn't see what they were carrying. She thought about following them, but she knew finding Kenzi is her first priority, so she approached the open window slowly and quietly.
When Bo reached the window, she immediately tucked herself below it because she heard someone talking inside the room.
"The Succubus has escaped."
Bo recognized the voice as belonging to the female Una Mens she had just met.
"She must have gone through the window," a male voice said right above Bo, as if he was checking the open window. Bo held her breath and pressed herself tightly against the wall, so he wouldn't see her.
"We can deal with her later," the woman said.
"What about that human girl?" The man asked. "Shall we bring her back?"
Oh Kenzi, I so shouldn't have brought you here! Bo said to herself as she listened carefully to the conversation inside the room, hoping that they would discuss more about her best friend, so she could have an idea about where they were holding her.
"No need," The woman said apathetically, as if she was just talking about the weather. "Leave her. Let the monks take care of the rest."
Monks? Bo frowned, although knowing that she shouldn't ask too many question right now. She waited for the man to say something like Ok or Yes, but it went deadly quiet inside for a few seconds, until she heard the door open and close.
Bo stood up slowly, peaking through the window. No one was in the room anymore. She sighed with a relief and climbed in.
Oh where are you Nazi robot freaks keeping Kenzi? Bo asked herself as she carefully searched through every room down the hallway. Luckily she didn't encounter anyone, until she arrived at the machine shop.
A group of people were in there, some laying small boxes down along the walls, others setting up some devices with wires carefully. A few were holding torches, lighting up the room for the others.
Bo almost stormed in when she saw that Kenzi was chained to the radiator in the corner, guarded by two men. Judging by the monk robes worn by them, Bo knew they were the monks that the Una Mens had been talking about. Then she recalled some scrolls she had read at Trick's place, which talked about how excellent the monks were at martial arts and close combat, how determined they were on their missions, and how unlikely they would be affected by a sex demons' charms.
Shit. What should I do now? Bo asked herself, with her dagger drawn in her hand. She knew it would be hard enough trying to fight off a single monk, let alone a group of them. She also knew that, although she might be able to suck the Chi out from all of them, it wouldn't give her enough time to get Kenzi to a safe place, and she certainly didn't want to have a group of monks on her ass. Oh, my life just never gets better. Bo thought in frustration.
But Bo knew, that there was no other way. She had to get Kenzi, and get out. After hesitating for a few seconds, she stood up, gripping her dagger tightly. She took a few deep breaths, preparing to run in for a huge fight.
Just when Bo was about to step out, she heard a loud explosion. Bo immediately crouched down with her arms covering herself, before she realized that it was coming from the parking lot outside the building.
Bo gasped, her eyes opening wide. Then she heard one of the monks inside the room say, "We have an intruder." Others agreed, and rushed out.
Oh well, I guess it's my lucky day. Bo raised her eyebrows. She stood up and stepped forward, but before she went in the room, someone grabbed her by her waist from behind and dragged her back to the darkness of the hallway.
"Let go of me, you fucking-" Bo exclaimed as she struggled, but then her mouth was covered by that person's hand.
"Shhh..." Tamsin's voice whispered into her ear, "Try not to alert the whole army, Ok? And I know the next word is gonna be bitch, so, you can just save it, sweetheart."
Bo froze. She had not expected to see the blonde inside the building again at all, because Tamsin had tried so hard to convince her that Una Mens were too dangerous and that she shouldn't have come for Kenzi. Yet somehow, a small part of her felt relieved that the blonde was back with her.
Feeling Tamsin's hot breath on her skin, and her soft breasts pressing on her back, Bo shook her head slightly, trying to put her mind back on saving Kenzi. She took Tamsin's hand away from her mouth, and freed herself from her firm embrace. Just as she was about to go in the room, Tamsin grabbed her and dragged her back again.
"What?" Bo asked, trying to get the blonde's hands off her, because her scent and her warmth were so distracting.
"Can't keep your hands off me or something?" she whispered, trying to sound like she was joking.
"Oh honey, don't get too proud of yourself," Tamsin whispered to her, tightening her grip. "Patrol's coming back in seconds. But you can go ahead, if you want to get your sweet little butt kicked."
Tamsin dragged Bo closer to the corner of the hallway, hiding in the darkness, when they heard distant footsteps coming closer. Neither of them said anything else. Bo could just feel the blonde's breath on her neck, and that had made her very uncomfortable. She wanted to push her away, but she knew she shouldn't draw any attention to them right now. The other reason for feeling uncomfortable, which she was trying hard to ignore, was that she actually enjoyed being held by the blonde from behind like this. Thinking about that, she swallowed hard and moved away from Tamsin a little. Like fully aware of what she was thinking, the other woman let out a light, almost silent chuckle, and grazed her lips on the back of Bo's neck lightly.
Bo had to bite her lip to stop a moan from escaping. She almost elbowed the blonde for teasing her, but before she moved, she saw torch lights coming from the machine shop, and she could hear someone talking in a low voice.
Tamsin tensed up too. She held Bo tighter, and fell back to the corner even more. Two monks walked through the machine room, and passed right by their side.
Bo stood there, her breath held. The two monks were looking at each other and talking, not paying any attention to the corner.
"...someone detonated the explosives on one of the trucks, and they are still searching..." one of the monks said.
"Need to keep our eyes open," the other said briefly.
The first monk nodded, and they just walked away. Bo let out a deep breath, when she saw the torch lights finally disappear in her view. It was then she felt her cold sweat on her back.
"Alright. We have like two minutes before they finish the search outside and come back in. So, just grab your pet and go," Tamsin said to Bo, letting her go.
"You blew up their truck or something?" Bo asked, rushing to Kenzi.
"Well, a girl gotta have some fun at night, right?" Tamsin said with a smirk on her face. She turned away from Bo, to check on the devices and crates in the room.
Bo released Kenzi from the chains, and held her in her arms. She called her name in a low voice, tapping her on her face, trying to wake her up but Kenzi remained unconscious.
"What did they do to her?" Bo asked Tamsin in panic.
Tamsin frowned, when she realized how worried Bo was about Kenzi. "How the hell am I supposed to know? They probably just knocked her out or something."
"Well she's not waking up!" Bo said, shaking the Russian girl in her arms.
"Then slap harder!" Tamsin exclaimed. " 'Cause those motherfuckers are gonna come back any minute now, and..."
"And...?"
"This place is loaded with explosives...they are gonna blow up the whole fucking place," Tamsin said, "So get your pet up and let's go."
"What if they come back and can't find Kenzi?" Bo said, slapping Kenzi on her face. "Are they gonna come after her? Or me?"
"Good question," Tamsin said. "Well we can always detonate their explosives and they will think we are dead," she smirked at Bo.
"Will that work?" Bo asked.
"How about we try?" Tamsin said as she studied the wires and the devices in the room. Then she turn to Bo and rolled her eyes, "Seriously, get her up unless you want to have a deep fried pet."
"Ok, Ok..." Bo said, breathing heavily. Then suddenly something occurred to her and she just wanted to kick herself right in the ass. Oh, of all the things you just forget about giving Chi back, shit, Bo thought to herself. She cupped Kenzi's face and breathed the orange energy out to her best friend. She could feel that pain in her chest, when the Chi flew out from her body. She knew she was already exhausted, and hungry, but she had no other choice. "Oh, girl, you gotta wake up, please..." she murmured, still giving Kenzi her Chi, until she finally saw her icy blue eyes open.
Without a loud, sharp gasp, Kenzi sat up, her eyes wide open. "Oh boy!" she exclaimed, spitting while licking her lips. "What happened? I mean, did we just kiss? Did you kiss me, on my lips? That feels weird, totally weird." Then her eyes turned to Tamsin. "What's she doing here? Is she working with them? She's behind all this, right?"
"No, she's not," Bo said with a smile on her face, her eyes falling on the blonde, who was rolling her eyes at them. Bo pulled Kenzi up and asked, "Can you walk? Do you feel Ok?"
"Yeah, though I would feel much better if I had a tequila in my hand right now," Kenzi said. "And, you promise me you will tell me everything that happened here."
"Yeah, I promise," Bo said. "But, we have to go now."
"Glad you didn't forget about that," Tamsin said as she set up the devices and pushed some buttons. "Quick, we have about thirty seconds before this place goes BOOM!"
Running out from the building as fast she could, Bo tried to make sure that Kenzi kept up with her. When they were half way to her car, she turned back to see if the monks were after them, and it was then she saw the place light up from the inside to be followed by a deafening explosion.
Pushed by the shockwave, Bo grabbed Kenzi and covered her with her body. Then she dropped to the ground. She could hear nothing, because her ear were ringing badly. She raised her head a little, to see what exactly was going on, and all she could see was debris flying in the air, blocks of concrete hitting trees and light poles, and ash falling from the sky.
Eventually everything stopped, and Bo finally got up. The first thing she did was to check on Kenzi, and she was relieved that the Russian girl was alright. Then she turned her head to look for Tamsin. The blonde was a few steps away from them. She could see her yelling something, but she couldn't hear it. From reading her lips, she figured that Tamsin was asking if they were Ok, and all she could do was nod and smile. Then Bo turned back to Kenzi and hugged her, huffing out a series of relieved laughter, and the petite girl hugged her back, yelling something in excitement.
Tamsin made sure that no monks were after them, then her eyes uncontrollably fell on Bo. She was surprised, yet not surprised, to see the brunette this happy that Kenzi was alive and Ok. That look on Bo's face, made her realize how much the Succubus actually cared for the Goth girl, and it warmed her. For a moment that feeling was so strong that it almost made her heart ache. Then she saw the brunette turn to her and smile at her. Bedazzled by that warm smile, she couldn't do anything but smile back. Then, Tamsin realized what she was doing. She had to close her eyes and take a deep breath, before she approached them with an indifferent look on her face.
"Hate to break this little heart warming reunion, but we need to get going," she said to Bo, trying hard not to make eye contact. "Just in case any back ups show up soon."
Bo nodded. "Come on," she said as she put her arm around Kenzi's waist. "Let's get you home...what the fuck!" Bo exclaimed when she saw her car's front hood crushed by a huge piece of concrete block, as a result of the explosion.
"Oh, great," Tamsin rolled her eyes. She knew she had no choice but to give them a ride, considering that the Una Mens or the monks might appear any minute now. "Follow me."
On the way back to the Dal, it was all Kenzi and Bo talking. Kenzi was hyper for a while, from the Chi, and getting her adrenaline kick. She desperately wanted to know every detail of what happened in the factory during her black out, and Bo explained things to her patiently.
Glancing through the rearview mirror at the brunette, Tamsin couldn't help but notice how exhausted and pale Bo was. She had to turn away to focus on the road, because their eyes met and she didn't know what else to do.
Shit. Tamsin cursed in her heart, not sure why she was paying so much attention to Bo suddenly. She could hear her soft voice talking to the Russian girl, and her low laughter. She could see the way Bo smiled at Kenzi whenever the petite girl said something funny, or something stupid. She could even smell her perfume, just like before when she teased her by holding her from behind. And beyond all that, every time she peaked at the mirror, she could see Kenzi snuggled to Bo, and Bo either hugging her, or kissing her, or stroking her hair, with a warm smile on her face. Eventually both of them fell asleep, and that was when a relieved Tamsin looked at them through the mirror again. She had no idea why that look on Bo's face, that relaxed yet worn out look, hurt her chest a little. Or rather, she had an idea, but she was too afraid of it to admit.
Pulling into the parking lot in front of the Dal, Tamsin let out a deep breath. She called Bo and Kenzi's name a couple of times, but neither of them were waking up.
"Oh, fucking sex demon and her damn pet..." Tamsin murmured. She got out of the truck and opened the rear door. She pinched Kenzi's face, and the Russian girl immediately sat up.
Kenzi frowned at Tamsin, confused. Then she turned to Bo. She wasn't sure what was going on between Bo and Tamsin, but she could sense something was there. She wanted to ask, but she wasn't sure if she should right now. Standing there awkwardly for a second or two, Kenzi said "Hey thanks for the...ride...I guess" before she headed to the bar.
"One gone, one to go," Tamsin rolled her eyes, talking to herself. She tapped Bo's face, trying to wake her up, but the brunette just moaned and rubbed her face lightly against her palm.
Fuck. Tamsin cursed. Like touching the burning flames she immediately withdrew her hand. "Hey, Succubus, hey!" she said to Bo, "Hey, wake up!"
After a while, Bo finally opened her eyes. She stared at Tamsin with her sleepy, foggy eyes, then her eyes moved down to Tamsin's lips.
"Look, this is the part where you go poof and I go get a drink, Ok?" Tamsin said, "So, get your ass up and get going."
Bo didn't say anything. She didn't even fully comprehend Tamsin's speech. Her mind was only half awake, and her hunger clouded it even more. She just stared at Tamsin's lips and licked her own.
"Hey!" Tamsin said, clicking her fingers in front of Bo's face, "Trip's over and you need to get out. I'm dying for a drink."
"That sounds…" Bo murmured, "...delicious..." The moment that last word came out from her mouth, she suddenly blushed, as if she finally realized what she was doing. She sat up straight from the seat abruptly, and cleared her throat. "I...I mean...yeah, of course. You...emmm...you should go get some drinks, and I should go get some sex...I mean, food..." Bo mumbled, her eyes turning away from the blonde. Oh real smooth. She said to herself.
Tamsin couldn't help but chuckle. "Hungry?" She asked, smirking at Bo.
"Yeah...I could really..." Bo said, her eyes moving back to those pink, soft lips again. They looked so tempting to her, yet so evil, that she just couldn't help but think how good they would taste, and how good her Chi would taste as well. Those thoughts made her body burn for a feed. Eventually her hungry outweighed her conscious mind, and she leaned forward hesitantly, closer, and closer. Pressing her lips on the blonde's, she didn't even realize that she had cupped the other woman's face. Her tongue forced its way into Tamsin's mouth as her lips opened, Chi flew to her, and she trembled from the sensation. God this tastes like the heaven mixed with the hell. She thought, between the feeding, the burning sensation, and the lack of air.
"Hold on honey..." Tamsin grabbed Bo's hands and stopped her from feeding more. "I thought you were swearing that you would rather die than feed off me like...two hours ago, or was that three?"
"Shit..." Bo cursed, pulling back immediately. She so felt embarrassed when she saw the blonde's snarky smile, which was only inches away from her own.
"I...I meant..." she desperately wanted to find an excuse, but she could come up with one. Blushing like a little girl, she prayed that the blonde would just let it slide and walk away.
But Tamsin didn't. She pressed her thumb on Bo's lips, rubbing them lightly. Bo moaned, almost immediately taking it between her teeth, her tongue circling on the tip, her lips sucking lightly.
"Ready to beg for your snack?" Tamsin whispered to Bo, breathing into Bo's ear.
"God, Tamsin..." Bo murmured. She was about to let that beg escape from her throat, but before she did, she heard Kenzi's voice yelling at her.
"Bobo, are you alright?" Kenzi yelled at the entrance of the Dal, "I thought we were gonna drink and dish. Did you get your ass trapped in that...truck or something?"
"I'm fine! I'm fine," Bo replied, moving to the opened door on the other side of the truck. She pushed her way past the blonde, slapping away the taller woman's hand, which was caressing the back of her waist while she moved.
"Just...getting some fresh air," she said and added, "I'll be in there in a minute, Ok?"
"Sure," Kenzi said, "But if you don't get in before my fifth tequila shot, you may not get a sober Kenzi at all..."
"Well, you better drink slow girl." Bo said as she watched the petite girl going back into the pressed her back on the truck, and took a few deep breaths. The cool air sobered her a little, but she was still hungry as hell. Just get in and grab someone random in there, then the back alley, bathroom, or wherever. She thought, forcing herself not to look at the blonde.
"Tisk tisk, one little sex demon needs food..." Tamsin said, her nose scrunched. She approached Bo with her evil smile, pressing her lips on Bo's, just to embarrass the brunette more.
"It's really not a good time, Tamsin..." Bo said, pulling away after the first few seconds. Tamsin had her pinned to the door, so she didn't have much room to maneuver. She pressed her hands on the blonde's chest, preventing her from coming closer. Torn between her lust and her conscious mind, she had no idea what to do next. She just stood there, biting her lips, panting. "It's really not..." she repeated, irritated by the blonde's move, and her own longing for her Chi. She knew that beg could come out from her mouth any time now, but she just didn't want to give up, not to her hunger, not to the blonde's smirk, not to anything.
Tamsin frowned, when she saw that vulnerable look on Bo's face. She knew if she kept pushing, the brunette would just yield to her in seconds, but somehow, she suddenly felt bad about it, because she could see how unwilling the brunette was, and how she suffered from her struggle.
Oh fuck me. Tamsin thought, sighing impatiently. All of a sudden, she had no idea what she should do. She sighed again, and asked," There's a wine cellar under the bar, isn't there?"
"Huh?" Bo raised her head to look at her, confused.
"Wine cellar, under the Dal?"
"Yeah, there is one, tiny. Why?"
"Well..." Tamsin whispered right beside Bo's ear, "If you don't scream too loud, I bet no one will hear you."
Bo watched the blonde winking at her before walking towards the entrance of the Dal, her eyes wide open. "Oh game on," she said, with a mischievous smile on her face, and her eyes flashing blue.
A/N: Happy New Year everyone!
