Revelation

The two women are in bed later eating ice cream, commiserating over their respectively disastrous love lives. "But he really liked you, I could tell." Bo offered about Teddy.

"Yeah and he was a great guy, really great, and really human." Kenzi said a little sadly before taking a swig of vodka to wash down the Ben & Jerry's.

"What's wrong with him being human? I mean I can understand if he was just really boring or something, that's one thing." Bo said a little more clearly than Kenzi, "The way your talking now its more because he was human, you don't have a fae fetish do you Kenzi?"

"Hah, fae fetish, yeah, bet you can't say that three times fast." Kenzi challenged a little less drunkenly as she realized that they were straying into dangerous territory.

Bo quickly accepts the challenge and says, "Fae fetish, fae faddish, fade…" and the pair both burst out laughing hysterically for several minutes with tears leaking from their eyes.

After a few more spoonfuls of ice cream and shots of vodka, Kenzi asked, "What about you, I know you and the doc are on a break but I have to say you look a little healthier now." Kenzi continued trying to keep her bestie off her trail for a little longer. "I know its probably really crass to ask but spill. Been snacking on anyone I know?"

"I have been taking Tricks advice and taking little sips here and there and influencing them to forget it. Dyson was the one who kicked me out of my funk though." Bo said with a smile, completely missing the wash of tears that were quickly blinked away by the gray eyed human sitting beside her.

Kenzi took a quick swig of alcohol from the vodka bottle, to cover the husk in her voice as she said, "So you and D-man are back to being the friends with benefits huh? Good for you."

Perhaps Kenzi wasn't as good at hiding her emotions as she hoped she was or perhaps Bo was a little more sober than Kenzi thought she was. Bo looked at her friend sharply and said, "What about Teddy why did you two really break up. He was pretty into you Kenzi, all gooey eyed and cute as a puppy."

"Like I said he was great….he just…isn't what I want or need right now." Kenzi said with a helpless sort of shrug.

"Hey you don't want him I'll take him off your hands," Bo said with a laugh.

Kenzi answered without thinking, "Yeah you take Teddy and I'll take Dyson."

Kenzi realized she had spoken out loud when her last statement was met with dead silence.

Kenzi could literally feel all the color drain out of her face as she realized what she had just confessed to her best friend. Turning her head slowly her gaze met Bo's open mouthed look of astonishment, and their came all that blood rushing back to her cheeks.

"I'm sorry…I didn't say that…I didn't mean.." she tossed the ice cream into Bo's lap and the vodka on the side table as she lunged out of Bo's bed and ran out of her friends room and down the stairs. Luckily her boots and rain coat were there. The boots by their ramshackle couch where she had left them after kicking them off. She pulled them on while running for the shacks front door, crying, "Shit, shit, shit," as she stumbled the whole way.

She had just grabbed her raincoat and was slinging it on when she heard Bo come charging down the stairs.

She ran out the door into the downpour with her rain coat only half on. Hearing Bo calling her name, telling her to wait, only made the sprite of a woman run faster into the darkness and rain. The succubus got to the still open door with the rain being blown into the entry hall of the shack. She screamed for Kenzi but by the time she got to the door the young woman had already disappeared from sight.

As her pajamas and silk kimono soaked through from the rain, Bo cursed. Shutting the door quickly, she ran back upstairs stripping out of her soaked clothes as she went. Already desperately considering a plan of action, where would her friend go, her first thought would be the Dahl. The usually pulled together succubus basically threw on a pair of jeans and a sweater and a long raincoat with boots.

She ran back down the stairs and was running for the door when she cursed again and ran back to the living room side table and grabbed her cell phone and then let loose a round of curses as she realized that Kenzi's phone was sitting there right beside her own.

Tears filled her eyes, as she realized that her best friend didn't know that she had made her peace with the wolf that they apparently both loved. The thought inspired Bo and she pressed the speed dial number for Dyson.

Several minutes later:

The fae pair met at the Dahl Riata only to be informed by Trick that their little thief had not been at the bar that day. Bo her face blotchy from tears turned to the wolf and said, "You have to go find her, track her, now Dyson!"

The Blood King added in a slightly less than kind tone, "Considering the level of trouble the little human can get into, I'd have to agree with Bo, Dyson.

The detective headed back out the front door of the bar, and centered himself. The rain was easing but it was still raining and the torrent had rinsed away any hint of Kenzi's scent from the area. Dyson was considering tracking back to the shack in the hopes of finding the fresher scent where Kenzi had fled into the night.

The fae spared a thought for what the two women might have been discussing to have the human fleeing into the night. Then he felt a tug as if someone had tugged his heartstring, only slightly lower and literally tugging him hard away from the pub into the darkness. He was first and foremost a wolf, and wolves followed their instincts. Dyson followed his.

A/N~ Seriously try saying fae fetish three times fast. My sister fiery menace was sober and she couldn't do it either. Least not the first time, or the third. Laughing. Love you all. ~A
