I owe you guys a huge apology, for the over a years wait for this chapter, but the way lost girl ended, it actually hurt me so much. I think it hurt a lot of us. Tamsin deserved better. Anyway I found it hard to write anything. But I promised my stories wouldn't go unfinished, so here I am, slowly trying to get them all to the complete sign.
Hope you enjoy.
"It's not a big deal, so please don't Kenzify this and make it into something it's not." Tamsin groaned; rubbing her forehead with the palm of her hand. The amount of alcohol she consumed trying to numb the hurt, would have told the tiny human a different story.
"Uh-huh! Is that why you tried to hide your hangover from Bo? Didn't want her to know that you care about this love-triangle 2.0?" Kenzi's dimples started too show, even though she fought her smile becoming too prominent. The brunette always got some type of pleasure, when she knew she was right.
Tamsin remained silent; alcohol was only a temporary fix. Those feelings came back, as soon as she saw the Succubus in the kitchen. It took everything she had to keep her composure around her. The Valkyrie couldn't help but be overwhelmed with a familiar emotion; a feeling she once vowed to never feel again.
"There is no love triangle 2.0." Tamsin's voice was low and impassive. She turned off the TV before standing up and making her way to the stairs. "Maybe you can go find Bo at the Dal. She's more into girly chats." Her voice remained numb.
Kenzi was in awe, she has never seen Tamsin so broken. She started to feel guilty about how smug she just was about the situation. The Valkyries words didn't go unheard, as the brunette exited the clubhouse, in pursuit to find the brunette and get answers.
Kenzi enter the Dal, her eyes immediately falling on the brunette nursing a whiskey in her hand. The younger girl didn't immediately walk over to her she watched her best friend from afar.
Bo slammed her phone against the counter, getting some looks from other patriots.
"What are you staring out!" the brunette barked, causing them to quickly look away. "That's what I thought!"
Kenzi starts to walk over to her distressed friend.
"Bo?" Her voice was soft
The succubus didn't even look up to meet the younger girl's eyes.
"I've made a real pig of things." Bo whispered; her eyes fixed on the whiskey swishing around the glass, as she twirled the glass between her hands.
"Oh Bo, what happened?" Kenzi said; taking a seat next to her.
"Lauren has run off to god knows where, refusing to answer my phone calls, and Tamsin." Bo paused staring into thin air, as she recalled that hurtful look that corrupted the blonde's striking features. "I've hurt her, Kenzi."
"Yeah you have. What were you thinking Bo?"
"That's the thing Kenzi, I wasn't. I can never think straight when I'm with her."
"Yeah I think that's the problem" Kenzi nudged the succulet's arm, trying to lighten her mood.
A sad smile creeps on her face. "Very funny."
"On a serious note, drinking yourself into oblivion before ten in the morning isn't going to help anyone. If anything it's just making yourself feel better".
"I don't know how to fix this." She placed the glass on the bar, pushing it away.
"Well there's only one place to start honey. Lauren has gone AWOL and is not picking up your calls, but Tamsin is still here. You really need to talk to her Bo; I've never seen her like this before."
Brie finally locates the clubhouse; she looks up at the crooked place. Soon doubting she's got the wrong place, she looks down at the investigation leaflet with Bo's name on it.
It was the right address. She made her way into the building.
She knocked on the closed door, but there was no answer. She looked at the handle and turned it.
"A succubus having an open door policy, why am I not surprised." She huffed out a laugh, stepping over the threshold, looking around the shack.
The blonde Valkyrie heard movement upstairs, having no hesitation she followed the noise making her way up the staircase. She looked down the hallway, when she couldn't locate the person causing the commotion.
Brie soon found another set of stairs leading up to the loft, when she finally found the person she was looking for. Tamsin.
She watched from the shadows why the blonde throws hard and repetitive punches at the bag.
"I hope you're not imagining that's me." Brie smirked; finally announcing her presence.
"I wondered how long you were going to stand there in the darkness and watch. Anyone tell you how creepy that is." Tamsin grabbed the punching bag, stopping it from swinging, as she turned her attention onto the blonde.
"Well a) this is a poorly lit room, anywhere is essential darkness and b) you never answered my question." She countered.
Tamsin looked at the punching bag, before looking back at the hazel eyes.
"Not this time." The blonde answered. She let go of the punching bag, walking over to the towel on her bed, wiping her face with it. She glanced at her ex. "Brie I know that look on your face, today is really not a good day, okay. So please don't. I just want to be alone." She said tiredly.
"Tamsin, I know you're not ready to deal with me. Heck you probably won't ever be. You don't deal well with your emotions. I can't blame you; our training taught us to feel nothing, so when we do open up we don't know how to deal with them." She was speaking from experience.
Tamsin looked up at Brie; her expression was soft, a small smile followed.
"I thought I was one of the best Valkyries, now look at me." The green eyed beauty laughed at herself. She felt so defeated.
"You are!" Brie quickly responded; making her way over to the blonde, lifting her face up with her hand. She lowered her head to look into the Valkyrie's Green eyes. "Just because you feel emotion doesn't mean you're weak; quite the opposite actually." She added knowing her love for Tamsin; gave her incredible strength to get through the toughest times.
Tamsin laughed not believing the words her ex was saying; causing her to move away from her comforting hand.
"Remember that time the sisterhood was ambushed by the Saxons." Her voice was low.
"Brie don't!" Tamsin said sternly; followed by her signature scowl. Knowing full well where she was going with this story.
"You took three arrows, that amount of poison should have killed you instantly. But it didn't, you found the strength to fight it. You also fought against the Valkyries way of living, to serve and die, you wanted more. You had something else worth living for." Brie said with tears brewing in her eyes.
"I was naive to think I could be different, that we could be different from the Valkyrie ways. But truth is when you stray away from your duties; you just end up broken and lost." Tamsin said numbly
"You can hate me Tamsin. Hell you can hate Bo too, but that won't change how you felt or feel about us." The blonde said hoarsely; fighting back the sadness that was bursting to come out. "If I only you would give me the time of day to explain. You will see it's not so black and white. That the reason you been hurting for so long was because I was protecting you"
"Protecting me!" Tamsin spat. "Marrying another guy was for my protection."
"Yes! It was the hardest thing that I have ever had to do. You think i could ever fall in love with someone else after being with you. My god Tamsin, I would do anything for you because I love you!" Brie finally gave into the emotions that have been bubbling inside of her for very long time.
Tamsin inhaled loudly, goose-bumps formed all over her body.
"I never stopped loving you, but i had no choice but to leave you behind. You have to hear my side of the story." Brie muffled out.
Seeing her ex in so much distress, hurt Tamsin more than she thought it would. All of them years feeling so much anger towards the blonde, was temporarily washed away in that moment. She had never seen Brie quite like this before.
The green-eyed Valkyrie was never comfortable around crying, but she pulled Brie closer to her. Her ex quickly buried her face into the crop of Tamsin's shoulder and wrapped her arms tightly around her.
"Sshhh." Tamsin oozed out, trying to calm her down; she awkwardly but slowly started to rub the blonde's back.
Brie's breathing started to return back to normal, but her heart was beating hard against her chest. Being this close proximity to Tamsin was all she yearned for, for nearly 1000 years.
The hazel eyed Valkyrie pulled out of the hug and rested her forehead against her ex.
"I love you, Tamsin." Brie whispered against her lips.
Tamsin swallowed the lump in her throat. She started to wonder what actually happened when Brie left her. Maybe it really wasn't as black as white what she originally thought.
Even though she still had deep feelings for the blonde; those three words where not easy to reciprocate, after feeling so betrayed by her for such a long time.
However Tamsin feeling herself falling back to old routines, she couldn't fight the inevitable any longer, she started to unconsciously lean in pushing her smooth lips against Brie's for a singular, tender kiss.
Brie remained in awe, speechless by the kiss.
"Maybe you should tell me the story" Tamsin said; needing to know what happened. She pulled away from the blonde.
Brie sniffles. "Okay."
"But we are going to need drinks." Tamsin weakly smiled.
"Good thing I know this great little place that gives it away for free." Brie smirked
"But I need a shower first." Tamsin said; grabbing a clean towel out of the wardrobe.
"I'll wait for you downstairs." She started to walk towards the stairs. The hazel-eyed beauty looked back at the Valkyrie with a grateful expression. Feeling like the weight on her chest was starting to lift, now that she can finally tell the truth.
So the Yule chapter i talked about a year ago, will be coming up in the next few chapters, causing a stir in the group. but for now the next chapter will involve flashbacks, and a big bad poses a threat.
