Tamsin's POV
"How are you here? Humans can't exactly come back from the dead so explain."
"You really need to loosen up.. I was never dead, you silly goose. Gone but not dead.." She replies, passing me a glass of whiskey.
"So you mean to tell me that you put me through hell over nothing?" I ask, chugging the drink.
Adrian runs her hand through her long red hair and leans in closer to me.
"It's not for nothing if I'm right here. You can have me, right now, if you want." She says seductively, placing her hand on my thigh.
My vision starts to become hazy as soon as she touches me.
"Did you fucking spike my drink, Adrian?" I sneer, slapping her hand away. She looks shocked that I would accuse her of that.
"Oh, don't be like that. It's just a little.. trick I picked up." She says, pouring more whiskey into my glass.
"What happened to you? This isn't the Adrian I remember.." I ask, looking into her emerald-green eyes.
"Time changes people, Tamsin. That man, the one you caught me with? He was really powerful. He promised me immortality and power. I felt inferior next to you. His price was just one I had to pay.." She says, looking down at her drink.
It was hard to not feel bad for her but I knew I couldn't let myself slip. I didn't even know why she was here, yet alone how she found me..
"I'm here to see you, Tamsin. I have connects overseas that found you for me. If that's not enough to show you how badly I want you then I don't know what is." She said, as if she'd read my mind, putting her hand even higher up on my thigh.
"Adrian, I-"
"Um, excuse me, you best remove your ginger mitts from Tam-Tams leg before you get a succubus whoopin', lady. " Kenzi interrupts, Bo and Dyson trailing behind her.
"Honey, whose your friend?" Bo asks making sure to emphasize the honey.
"Bo, this is Adrian. You know the one, human, first love, all that good stuff. Adrian, unaligned succubus. You two have met, we can go now, right?" I ramble.
"I've always wondered what it would be like to have an encounter with a succubus.. I can imagine it would be overwhelming. All that pleasure coursing through the body.." Adrian says, locking eyes with Bo who didn't look in the least bit happy or phased.
Dyson had been standing next to her, seemingly sniffing her scent. I eye him suspiciously, he returns my look with one of confusion, like something he faintly knew but didn't think could be possible.
"Well, since I won't be going home with Tamsin tonight, I'll make my leave. Hopefully, I'll see you again?" Adrian says, rising from her seat.
I can feel the pressure of everyone's gaze on me, not sure of what to say.
"I'll take that as a yes. See you soon, love." She says, kissing my cheek a little longer than necessary and walking out of the Dal.
"See you soon, love." Bo mocks, annoyance clear on her face.
"Bo.. Come on. Don't be that way." I reassure, grabbing her hand.
"She was practically peeling your clothes off, Tamsin. And you didn't really stop her. I guess you failed to mention the part where you had a girlfriend." She snaps, pulling her hand away.
"Girlfriend? We had sex once and now you're my girlfriend? Wow, strong words from a succubus, huh." I reply.
"Sorry to interrupt your little argument, but I think we need to talk to Trick.. Now." Dyson says.
Bo's POV
Tamsin's words had hurt but I was far to angry with her to admit it. Trick had taken us back to his office so we could talk. Tamsin had chosen the farthest seat away from me, using Kenzi as a barrier.
"Now, what seems to be the problem?" Trick asks.
"Well, that redhead, Adrian? She didn't exactly smell very good.." Dyson admits.
"Look, wolf boy, spit it out. We don't need to know about your fantasies." Tamsin scoffs.
"Oh, calm down. It's not like you didn't want to jump her bones 5 minutes ago."
"Y'know, I actually didn't. More than you can say, succubus. Guess my chi isn't enough." Tamsin replies.
"If you two don't let Dyson talk, I'll gladly have you both thrown out. There will be no arguing here.. Finish, Dyson." Trick commands.
"She didn't smell of anything but dirt.. And death. The only time I'd ever smelled such a scent was when I was in Scotland, over a century ago. " He replies.
"Oh dear.. It's a Baobhan Sith. This is not good." Trick says with a look of worry on his face.
"A Baobha-what?" Kenzi and I both ask in unison.
"Baobhan Sith. A Scottish vampire, who appears in the form of a woman in green, also having the ability to shape shift." Trick explains.
"So you're telling me that's not Adrian, old man?" Tamsin asks.
"I'm afraid so. It may be Adrian's body but she is a different person entirely. Did she say why she was here?" Trick asks, looking concerned.
"She said she was here for me.. It was also like she had read my mind and when she touched me, I felt like I'd be roofied." Tamsin explains.
"You must go then, Tamsin. She won't stop until she has you."
"I'm a Valkyrie. I don't run." Tamsin says, standing up.
"Besides, we have you. I'm sure you know how to defeat it. And dog breath here, can help us find it. Now, I plan on enjoying my Friday, which I will gladly end drunk." She says, bowing then walking out of Trick's office.
"That woman is crazy. But there's alcohol involved so I'll have to leave you, Bo-Bo. I'll save you a drink." Kenzi smiles, following Tamsin.
"Dyson, Bo.. Tamsin doesn't know what she's getting into. The Baobhan Sith is very much like you, Bo. She uses seduction to catch her prey, and when she does she then drains them of their blood." Trick says.
"Great so we're all bloodbags for a vampire. How do we kill it? Traditional stake and garlic?" I ask.
"Any iron weapon will do. Once you've killed it, you must bury it under a stone cairn or it will rise again, more vengeful than before." He explains.
"Thank you, Trick. Looks like we've got a vampire to kill." I smile at Dyson.
We both walk out together. What Tamsin had said still angered me so I left the Dal, knowing Dyson would take Kenzi home.
A/N: Baobhan sith (pronounced baa'-van shee). Hope you enjoyed the chapter, I modified the myth a little so it would fit more easily into the story. Leave a review telling me what you think. P.S. Adrian wont be going down without a fight, she'll be around for at least two chapters.
