"Bo don't!" Lauren shouted moving to stop her from attacking the unconscious fae.
"Holy shit Bo you can't just take off on a sister like that!" Kenzi panted bursting through the doors and pausing at what she saw. Bo covered in blood with Lauren standing between Bo and her ex's body was not the image Kenzi was expecting.
"She took you away from us for that she will die"
"No Bo I don't know what's happened to you but you can't do this" Bo merely stared at Lauren curiously not following her logic. To the succubus it was very simply she was protecting what was hers.
"Do this and I will never forgive you" The succubus stopped walking forwards as Laurens words sank in.
"She is unconscious. She's not going anywhere and I'm right here okay no one's taking me anywhere"
"She might try again" The succubus growled but was stopped by Lauren tentatively laying a hand on her arm.
"Look at me Bo please. See I'm right in front of you it's okay" Lauren said soothingly to the clearly unstable succubus. Lauren could feel Bo through their bond, it was still there but there was a degree of separation that never existed before.
"Ours" Lauren heard growled out before the succubus had buried her head in Lauren's neck, delightfully inhaling her scent. Lauren sighed in relief, glancing worriedly at Skye's body. She didn't appear to be severely injured but there could always be internal damage.
"This is weird" Kenzi muttered as Lauren gestured over Bo's shoulders to call someone. The first person Kenzi could think of to call was Hale, and that was exactly whose number she dialed
Lauren pulled back from Bo's tight embrace so she could stare into her eyes. Lauren tentatively caressed the succubus's face. It was Bo and yet her energy was different: darker.
"Lauren?" Bo questioned
"Bo?" Lauren gasped, as the beautiful brown eyes, quickly morphed back into blazing blue. "No Bo come back to me" The succubus simply stared at Lauren impassively.
"I know you're still in there Bo and I'm going to help you okay sweetie? It's going to be alright" Other Bo merely stared at its mate. There was no present danger so they were happy to sit back and observe the object of their obsession.
Lauren! Bo shouted unable to regain control of herself. Enough. The voices replied you needed us and now we are her. Fear not we shall keep her safe. Give me back my body! Oh no, it is our body now. The voices replied before blocking her out. Leaving Bo an observer in her own body. Desperate Bo tugged on the bond, only receiving a faint response. In her panic to find Lauren Bo had been so caught up that she hadn't realized how much control she had given over to her voices. The only comfort she took was from the apparent fascination they had with Lauren. The voices seemed as interested in her protection as Bo herself was.
"Hey doc, Hale says a team of medics are on their way, he umm also mentioned that Bo needs to not be here when they arrive to help her" Kenzi gestured to Skye. Lauren ran a hand through her hair stress written all over her face
"I thought as much. Okay Kenzi we can't just leave her here unsupervised. Did Hale say how long there would be"
"About five minutes"
"Right okay…." Lauren was very hesitant to separate herself from Bo or other Bo or Bo's body until she figured out what was going on. She got the feeling that it would not go over well if she suggested staying with Skye.
"Leave her" Bo's voice echoed around the room; cold and unforgiving. Lauren and Kenzi wracked their brains for any ideas, ignoring the succubus who was wrapped around Lauren's body stopping her from checking on Skye.
"Kenzi is Hale coming with them?"
"Yeah why"
"He can protect you, you're the only one who can stay with her. I need to get Bo out of here"
"I understand Lauren but Bo's not really…. Herself right now"
"I know." Lauren turned her attention back to the succubus who was still holding onto her tightly.
"Bo"
"Yes" Lauren readied herself for any response, she was about to test out her hypothesis
"I want to go to the Dahl. Alone"
"NO! It is not safe! We will go with you to ensure your safety" Lauren smiled with relief, maybe getting Bo to sanctuary wouldn't be as hard as she thought.
"Way to put up a fight blue eyed Bo" Kenzi commented.
"Kenzi meet us at the Dahl as soon as you can. Call if anything goes wrong, and please let me know how she is. Her injuries don't appear life threatening but there could be complications"
"I'll let ya know doc"
"Good" Lauren pried herself away from Bo's body walking purposefully towards the door only to be stopped suddenly by someone grabbing onto her hand. She watched curious as the succubus interlaced their fingers before pulling them both forwards. The warmth of Bo's hand against her comforted Lauren more than she had thought possibly. She could still feel Bo, she knew that she was in there and she would make sure she got back to where she belonged: with Lauren.
….
Trick wasn't sure what he was expecting when the door to his bar was flung open but Bo and Lauren walking into it hand in hand was not it.
"Lauren! Bo!" Bo completely ignored the man he was not a threat so he required little of her attention.
"Hello Trick"
"Lauren are you alright?" Trick moved forwards as if to embrace Lauren but he was stopped by an angry looking succubus who blocked Lauren completely from his view.
"Bo he's your grandfather!" Lauren said exasperated. This Bo was being a little to protective.
"He let you be taken away he is not to be trusted"
"Its alight Bo, see I'm stepping back. I don't want to take her away from you" Trick was unnerved as blue eyes tracked his every move. He couldn't recognize the granddaughter he had come to love and care for in those calculating eyes.
"What happened Lauren" Lauren was swaying on her feet. It had been an extremely long day. Being kidnapped, dealing with Bo but not Bo. Lauren could feel the headache that was quickly approaching. Lauren went to tiredly answer the blood king but was cut off
"Lauren is tired she will be answering no more of your questions" Other Bo interrupted. Practically carrying Lauren from the room, to their temporary bedroom.
Lauren normally would have found being interrupted annoying but the day had finally caught up with her. She leaned heavily against the body that was supporting her. She needed a good eight hour sleep, she was after all only human.
"Hey?" Lauren questioned sleepily
"Yes"
"Promise to wake me up when Kenzi gets here"
"Why" Other Bo looked at the doctor intensely, easing her onto the bed before laying down beside her molding their two bodies together.
"Please it would make me very unhappy if you didn't"
"We shall wake you" The succubus gently sucked on Lauren's neck enjoying the feel of her beneath their lips. God the doctor was better than anything they had ever experienced. Lauren satisfied with Bo's response let herself succumb to the dream world tricking herself into believing just for a moment, it was her Bo holding onto her.
….
"Well see the thing is Trickster apparently super succubus Bo and normal Bo have one thing in common"
"And what is that Kenzi" Trick questioned, tried already. Kenzi couldn't help but chuckle as she thought of her best friend
"Both of them are seriously whipped. I mean all the doc over here had to say was I want to go to the Dahl. And blue eyed Bo all but offered to drive her here. Although between you and me" Kenzi whispered conspiratorially, leaning closer to the Blood King,
"I would not suggest taking Lauren anywhere without Bo. That does not go over well, trust me" Kenzi finished her story by throwing back a shot and slamming it down on the counter.
"Mama needs sustenance Trick" Kenzi moaned eyeing him pitifully "Do you know how much running I did today. I'll tell you, I ran! Far distances, in heels. Have you tried to run in heels? It is not fun. No wonder the girl always fall when she's being chased in the movies" Kenzi mused getting sidetracked
"Kenzi!"
"Yeah Trickster"
"I believe you started this conversation with Trick Trick Bo's gone crazy and is going to kill us all. Please explain that" Trick sighed, sometimes it was like pulling teeth
"Oh I may have slightly exaggerated. I have reassessed and I think imminent death is still a few days away so phew right" Kenzi whipped pretend sweat off of her forehead smiling at Tricks pained expression.
"Alright alright. Something appears to have taken over Bo's body. She's there but not in control and still totally in love and crazy protective of Lauren"
"Oh is that all you forgot to mention" Trick asked sarcasm dripping from every word
"I also broke a nail" Kenzi held up her wounded hand for inspection. "It's going to take days to heal" Trick started to walk away "Hey I don't have super sexual healing powers! For us mere humans this is a big deal" Kenzi's voice shouted after him. Trick just kept walking he needed to talk with his granddaughter or whoever was in control. Talking to Kenzi first was not the best idea he had had in his many years on the earth.
….
"EVONY" Dyson howled stalking into her office, ignoring her receptionist and slamming the door behind him.
"You swore to me this would work! You gave your word that she would be mine"
"Hello wolf" Evony greeted Dyson lazily not understanding what he was all worked up about
"What exactly is your problem? Let me guess a certain succubus keeping you up at night?"
"Enough" Dyson growled
"Fine fine ruin all my fun" Evony waved her hand in the air "What's the problem with Bo?"
"She has run off after the human doctor and I can no longer contact the fae who was holding her"
"How is this my problem?"
"Because" Dyson snarled leaning over the desk to get right in Evony's personal space.
"Once the doctor figures out what happened to Bo how long do you think it will take her to link you to all of this? Hmm. The human is smart. It is only a matter of time before she discovers the reason behind Bo's… problems"
"Are you threatening me wolf?" Evony stood up fast, sending her chair flying backwards as she stalked around the desk to confront Dyson head on.
"No I'm warning you to prepare yourself"
"For what"
"For Lauren" At that Evony had to laugh, what was a human doctor of the light going to do against the leader of the dark fae
"And what exactly is the human going to do to me? Give me a shot?"
"She's going to tell Bo" At Evony's blank expression Dyson realized she hadn't been informed yet
"Haven't you heard? Apparently this new version of Bo is even more concerned with Lauren's safety than the other one. Have you seen what she did to Laurens ex-girlfriend? She's in intensive care at the hospital, she was lucky apparently she'll survive" Evony was leader of the dark, she feared very little but this new information was causing the hairs on the back of her head to stand up.
"Your point wolf"
"She will see you as a threat and this Bo deals with threats with a lot more violence than the other one did"
"And just exactly what do you think she's going to do with you?"
"I DON'T KNOW! I never saw this coming. You swore to me that infecting her would make her stronger, protect her, and increase our bond to one another, not throw her into the arms of a human!" Dyson exploded
"And you swore to me that she was your mate" Evony hissed her voice as cold as ice. "Seems like we were both wrong" Dyson growled anger warming his insides
"She is my mate. I have chosen her"
"She hasn't chosen you pup" Evony bit back fear creeping its way into her mind. An out of control succubus was dangerous, an out of control infected succubus who listened to the directions of the human doctor was catastrophic.
Dyson ignored Evony's comment,
"We need a plan"
"What you want me to do? Help get you your girlfriend back? I am the leader of the dark fae!"
"No I want help in ensuring that we both live through this so I have time to get my mate back" Evony paused considering her options. Dyson was a powerful ally to have and with the cards the way they were she needed him on her side, at least for now
"What did you have in mind?"
….
Trick rubbed his forehead warily. First the prophecy and now this. How was he supposed to protect his granddaughter from herself? Trick picked up another old text from the shelf. From what Lauren and Kenzi had told him, and Bo's actions herself, it appeared something was infecting his granddaughter
It was fascinating Trick thought how dependent possessed Bo remained on Lauren, almost as if all parts of Bo were bonded to the doctor. Trick paused, the bond, he may not know what was wrong with Bo but he could use the information he had found to help them.
"Lauren! Kenzi!" Trick shouted rushing into the main part of the Dahl arms full of books.
"I have an idea"
"Do you know what's wrong with crazy blue eyes?" Kenzi asked
"I have a theory. Where is Bo?"
"She's resting" Lauren stated "but it will only be a matter of minutes before she realises I'm not there"
"Can you spell codependent?"
"Kenzi!"
"Right sorry, not the time. So what's the plan Trickster?"
"Lauren, you said that for a second she was herself again?"
"Yes why?"
"I've been researching the connection between you two. There are ancient stories and tales of the power of the bonded couple. If Bo is possessed as you think we can perform a blocking ceremony"
"A what-now Trick?" Kenzi was very confused.
"A blocking ceremony it is a ritual to separate parts of the mind. But its last recording was from over a century ago. It only works with a bonded pair. Lauren you would have to anchor Bo's mind so that she remained herself and the other was blocked. It wouldn't destroy it, but it would bring Bo back and give us more time"
"Whoa there, I know the docs a genius but how's she supposed be an anchor exactly?"
"I don't know. The text simply says 'your love will guide the souls'" Trick looked imploringly at Lauren,
"How do we do it?" Lauren asked
"It could be dangerous Lauren. I'm not even sure if it will work"
"If it's the only way to save Bo I'll do anything" Lauren stated firmly. She needed her Bo back.
