Chapter Twenty-One: Love Struck
"Vex.. Hale.. Let them go…" Bo stammered as she watched Alex's eyes glowing.
"NO! This is ridiculous! I have spent so long dying to be with Kenzi and I'm not going to lose her to some slutty pyro!" Hale screamed as he struggled to hold Kenzi.
"Don't you dare call the woman I love a slut you pathetic Siren! My heart belongs to her!" Kenzi screamed fighting Hale with every bit of her might. "Baby help!"
"Alex love, calm down alright… We just want to help you two.." Vex calmly said to his girlfriend.
"If you want to help me mesmer.. Get your fucking hands off me…" Alex said as she heated up her flesh enough to burn Vex's hands causing him to let out a quick yelp and pull away.
Alex walked towards Hale with a fiery rage burning in her eyes.
"Hale mate.. I'd listen to her if I was you.." Vex said shaking his hands that were still in pain from the burn.
"NO! Alex that is enough! NOW BACK OFF!" Hale said with a determined look in his eyes, "Kenzi is MINE!"
"Oh really Siren.. why don't you ask her yourself who she wants.." Alex said with a smirk.
"Hale you have to let Kenzi go and just let them be together until Trick can finish the potion! If not Alex WILL kill you and she can't control her abilities right now!" Bo yelled attempting to spare the Siren his inevitable pain.
"No! I won't watch the woman I love all over some new bitch!" Hale said.
"HEY! You call her a slut and now a bitch.. That's ENOUGH Hale! She's my sister for Christ's sake! Ease up! It's a damn spell! It's not like she's trying to really steal your damn girlfriend!" Tamsin said as she felt her temper starting to rise from her sister being insulted. Bo grabbed her hand and just shook her head no trying to calm the Valkyrie down.
"I really didn't want it to come to this Alex…" Hale said as he puckered his lips and whistled towards the Ember. She looked at him, closed her eyes and winced from the pain. She cracked her neck and took several steps closer to him. Hale whistled harder clearly trying to hurt the Ember. Alex's ears started to bleed but she continued to step forward as her body busted into blue flame's. Hale stopped completely out of breath and fell to the floor releasing his grip on Kenzi.
"Not so easy to break me huh Siren" they heard Alex say to him.
"Baby you saved me!" Kenzi said as she lunged forward.
"KENZI No!" Bo screamed seeing the girl tackle the burning blonde.
Kenzi jumped into Alex's arms without the slightest hint of pain. Kenzi started to kiss the blue flame and Alex slowly turned back to her normal self.
"Uhm okay how the hell did Kenzi not just go up in flames or get some major third degree burns…" Tamsin said starring at the two women who were now making out on the floor in full force.
Hale staggered to his feet and headed towards Bo and Tamsin where Vex met him.
"What the bloody hell just happened…" Vex asked looking at the two on the floor kissing.
"How did she.. How did I.. Tamsin I am so sorry.. I didn't… I lost control and just got jealous and…" Hale stuttered as he looked at Tamsin.
"Hale. Don't. You put enough force into that to fucking kill her.. Her damn ears started to bleed.. Don't you dare sit there and apologize" Tamsin said as she glared at him "Leave. Now. Both of you. You don't need to see your girlfriend's under a spell and cause more problems than you already have. Alex's emotions are what fuel her power. The negative effects of the arrow on couples it hits who ARE NOT meant to be together creates an obsessive love. Alex and Kenzi are like Romeo and Juliet right now so if you piss off Alex OR Kenzi Alex will burn this entire damn place to the ground. So THANKS for the mini shit show but both of you just get the hell out. We will deal with this and return your fucking girlfriends to you but for now.. Hale if you don't get out of my fucking sights I'll make you doubt you even HAVE a penis…" Tamsin said gripping her fists so tight she could feel her fingernails breaking the skin.
Both men lowered their heads and nodded and walked out of the Dal.
"Tamsin.. Hey.." Bo said cupping the blonde's cheeks in her hands "you alright…"
"Yeah.. I just don't do well with people who talk shit about my sister and blatantly ignore what I'm saying for their own selfish reasons and try to blow up the only good bar in town…" she said with a slight smirk at the end. "I'm shocked Alex didn't do more to Hale.. I'm shocked she didn't pass out with his whistle.. I can only imagine the frequencies he hit trying to make her back off… It's scary not knowing what she's capable of.."
"I know but she didn't kill him, or burn the place down.. hell Kenzi jumped on her when she was a blue flame and she must have done something to prevent Kenzi from becoming burned.. She's good Tamsin.. You raised her well.." Bo said as she smiled at the blonde.
"KENZI JUMPED ON ALEX WHEN SHE WAS ENGLUFED IN HER FLAMES AND SHE DIDN'T GET BURNED?!" Trick said as he heard the end of the girls conversation.
"Yeah. Hale and Vex showed up trying to bring their love crazy girlfriend's back to reality and instead pissed off Alex. Kenzi looked at her and screamed for help and that was all it took. Hale even did a high enough frequency whistle to kill Alex but she just went into flame mode and walked to him until he ran out of breath.. Kenzi tackled her with a hug and well…" she pointed to the two girls who were ferociously kissing on the floor
"That.. That's remarkable… I've never heard of an Ember who can control who she burns.. I don't think it's ever been done.. When we get them back to their less…" Trick started.
"Horney?" Bo added with a grin.
"Yes that.. when we get them back to their less.. aroused.. state, we'll have to talk to her about this.. They'll remember everything."
"Oh that's going to be hilarious!" Tamsin laughed as Bo started to giggle. Trick rolled his eyes and handed them two cups, "get them to drink this and then tell them they can go downstairs and do.. well whatever… the tea will knock them out in a minute or two and when they wake up they'll be back to normal"
Bo walked over to the kissing girls, "Trick said if you guys take this he'll let you go use his bed downstairs for some.. privacy…" she said with a grin.
Alex and Kenzi each took their cups, chugged the liquied and raced downstairs.
"So now all we do is wait for them to wake up right?" Tamsin asked as she looked at Trick.
"Yes that's my hope" he said with a grin.
Suddenly two men kicked the door to the Dal wide open and walked in. The men were of Asian decent and were wearing what looked to be ancient samurai outfits.
"We have come to take the Succubus…" One of the men said. The man's eyes were ghost white and his hands were covered in blood.
Trick grabbed his gun from behind the counter and Tamsin stood in front of Bo.
"You won't be taking my granddaughter anywhere!" Trick yelled
"Oh but we will Blood King.. We will.. Whether it's now or later she will come with us.. We can even take your weakened Valkyrie. There is a price for her head" the other man said with a grin. His white teeth were stained with blood.
"Touch her and die…" Bo growled as her eyes beamed royal blue. It was the same new shade of blue that Tamsin saw outside the house the night that the titanium man was dragging her away. Trick looked and saw the blue radiating a new color and his jaw dropped.
"Fine.. we shall do this your way.." the men looked at each other and smiled as they each took out long swords. They rushed towards the Valkyrie and succubus but the women were stunned when the men seemed to vanish and appear behind them. The rapid speed was unreal. It was like a form of rapid teleportation.
"Oh great.. this will be interesting" Bo said as she pulled her dagger trying to find one of the men to fixate her stare on.
"They're vapors Bo.. they'll move fast and disappear before your eyes.. Don't turn your back on them! Anticipate their next move!" Tamsin screamed as she put her back against the brunette's.
"Sure.. piece of cake.." Bo said with confusion on her face.
One of the men zapped in front of Bo who took a swipe with her blade but he disappeared before she could catch him. The other man flashed in front of Tamsin who tried to kick him but he was gone before she could make contact.
Suddenly one of the men teleported above the two women and fell down making both women collapse on the Dal's floor.
"Tamsin look out!" Trick yelled as one of the men charged her. She ducked the attack and was able to spin around in time to kick the man in the lower back causing him to stumble and roll. Bo was fighting her attacker by deflecting his slashes with her dagger, but only barely. She caught the man's cheek with her knife leaving a faint cut.
"Not bad Succubus.. I clearly underestimated you.." the man said with a chuckle.
"Yeah I get that a lot.." Bo said lunging forward trying to catch the figure.
Trick tossed Tamsin a sword that he had in a case behind the counter.
The moment the sword was in her hands she felt alive.
The samurai lunged at her and she brought the sword behind her head blocking his strike. Bo looked over to see the metal blades clashing together. She turned and quickly tried to find her attacker. She could hear Tamsin fighting with the man and the sound of blades slashing together gave her an odd sense of comfort. Well at least if I can hear that I know she's alive. Bo thought as she ducked a swipe from her assassin.
Tamsin swung her sword around and clipped her attacker's leg causing him to lean over and howl. She quickly spun back and kicked him sending him flying towards the Dal's entrance. She turned to find Bo and her heart stopped.
Bo was being held tightly by the second samurai and he had his knife to her throat.
"Don't even move Valkyrie or I'll spill the Succubus's blood all over the floor without hesitation" Tamsin nodded. "Drop your sword NOW" Tamsin did as she was told and kept her stare on Bo. "You know Valkyrie… it's funny… I've heard so many stories that speak testament to your greatness, you're supposed to be the strongest, most fierce, historic if you will but this.. The Valkyrie I see before me is nothing but weak and a disappointment"
"What makes you think I'm weak?" Tamsin spat as she kept her eyes looking into Bo's. She could see the fear in Bo's eyes. The blade was being held so tightly against her neck if she moved she knew it would cut her.
The man grinned and lightly pressed the blade on Bo's neck causing a small cut and a little blood to seep out. Tamsin immediately flinched and looked terrified and moved forward.
"No no no Valkyrie. Stay there. See Tamsin, THIS.. This is what makes you weak. You care for her, and in doing so you make yourself vulnerable. Imagine that. The cold, heartless, and powerful Valkyrie has one weakness.. Her heart" The man said with a smile as he pushed the blade a little harder into Bo's neck causing the succubus to whimper.
Hearing the small painful cry from Bo immediately ignited a spark in Tamsin's soul. She looked in Bo's eyes and all of a sudden felt a surge of power she never thought imaginable. Tamsin's eyes turned completely black and her face darkened unlike never before. She leaned back and cracked her necks and growled. Wings gracefully spread from her arched back and she moved her gaze to the two men… Bo felt the sword fall from her neck and heard it hit the ground, she fell to the floor but was quickly up and rushing to Trick who held her.
"Trick what's happening…" Bo asked as they both watched Tamsin's wings flutter and her piercing black eyes approaching their attackers. The closer she got, her body began to glow a faint golden color.. The Valkyrie looked like an angel.. minus the hellish dark eyes.
"I.. I don't know…" he stammered in amazement.
Tamsin walked to the two men and lifted them up by the neck, each held tightly in each of her arms.
"Who sent you…" she asked in a serious tone that sent chill down Bo's spine.
"W-we will n-never tell Valkyrie…" one of the men said as his voice was shaky form pain.
"Pity. And to think I was going to spare you…" She said looking into their eyes.
"W-we were hired by someone who works for the Wanderer… W-we were raised from the grave to come bring him the succubus and deliver you as well but we were told to kill you both if n-needed…" The man quickly stammered "N-now let us go… You said you would spare us if you knew…"
"I lied" Tamsin said in a dark voice "I know he can hear me talking right now. He knows what I am saying. Wanderer… this is my message for you.. Come near Bo again and I will kill you. You underestimate the strength having heart can give you. Bo is my heart. So help me if you keep coming for us I will find you and kill you. This is my final warning. I defied you once to protect Bo and I will do it repeatedly until your soul is in the underworld…" with that said her eyes flashed white and the men dropped lifeless to the ground.
Tamsin turned around, her skin still glowing gold and wings outstretched. She looked at Trick and Bo who had their eyes wide open and jaws dropped.
Bo walked to Tamsin and looked at her with amazement.
"Bo I…" Tamsin couldn't even finish her sentence before the succubus crashed their lips together. This kiss was so full of passion, desire, love. Bo pulled the glowing winged Valkyrie in tight, savoring each movement of the blonde's soft lips against hers. Tamsin slowly slipped her tongue into Bo's mouth deepening the kiss. "You're hurt Bo.. feed.." Tamsin whispered as Bo looked into the blonde's eyes and simply nodded. Bo leaned in and pressed her lips on the blonde's as she moaned from the taste of the Valkyrie, Bo kissed her for a minute, sliding her hands to the blonde's hips before leaning back and drawing gold chi.
The chi tasted like heaven. Bo took what she needed and her wounds were instantly healed. Bo leaned back in and placed a single soft kiss on the Valkyrie's lips. Bo pulled back and looked at her girlfriend. The glowing skin slowly faded and Tamsin let Bo's hands slip through her fingers as the brunette took a step back. The blonde closed her eyes and rolled her neck as she arched her back. Tamsin winced slightly from the pain and slowly closed her wings.
Tamsin walked to Bo never breaking eye contact until the brunette fell into her arms for a tight embrace.
"Tamsin what happened.." Bo asked as she cuddled into Tamsin's neck.
"I-I don't know… I think…" Tamsin said before looking at Trick who was in awe of what he had just seen.
"Tamsin.." Trick said as he smiled "that was.. remarkable.. you just.." Tamsin looked at him with wide eyes and slowly shook her head no.
Tamsin knew what just happened but she wasn't ready to tell Bo. There needed to be a mutual connection and when a bond forms it's said there is an obvious sign for both the warrior and the Valkyrie. For Tamsin, she knew that her heart just attached itself to Bo.. But she needed to wait for Bo's heart to bond with hers.
Tamsin closed her eyes as she looked at Trick with a smile.. Trick smiled back and nodded. She had tears coming from her eyes as she gripped Bo tighter.
Tamsin knew she had just initiated the destined bond for her warrior.
