A/N: This fic is going to be the death of me, just so you all know that… anyway; here we go, on with the story. I seem to have hit a bit of a rut, which majorly sucks. Pushing through it though. Thanks for the reviews and everything, you guy's rock. Read, review and enjoy!
Chapter Twenty One
A few days had passed and no one had seen or heard from Bo, Tamsin and Kenzi had been round to the Clubhouse to see if she was there and to pick up some of Kenzi's stuff, there was no sign of Bo. Trick hadn't been seen in a couple of days either, he had left Dyson in charge at the Dal as Bo was obviously too busy.
Tamsin was downstairs in the Dal, looking through Trick's books to see if she could find some of the answers she was looking for. She knew Trick would have already been through the books, but that wasn't going to stop her. Dyson had told her as long as she didn't break anything, and she put everything back where she found it, there shouldn't be a problem. While she was looking through yet another book Lauren walked downstairs.
"Anything?" Lauren asked.
"Not a thing," Tamsin replied, "I have no idea what I'm even looking for… I'm kind of hoping when I see it I'll know…"
"Kenzi mentioned that you haven't slept in three days." Lauren said.
"Yeah, well Kenzi needs to learn when to keep her mouth shut." Tamsin said.
"You're not going to be any use to anyone if you're not sleeping Tamsin." Lauren said, sitting next to the Valkyrie on the sofa.
"I'm fine Doc," Tamsin replied, "a few days sleep is nothing…"
"I keep forgetting, you're a big tough Valkyrie…" Lauren said with a little laugh.
"Something like that." Tamsin said, closing the book in front of her and picking up another one.
"I can give you something to help you sleep…" Lauren said.
"With all due respect Doc, if I was worried about not sleeping I'd have been to see you already," Tamsin said, "I need to find out what's going on with Bo, once she's got her mind back and realises how completely stupid she's being, then I'll sleep…"

Kenzi ran into the Dal, nearly knocking over some guy in the process.
"Where's the fire Kenz?" Dyson asked.
"Bo's… Bo's outside," Kenzi said, trying to catch her breath, "she's hurt pretty bad… I can't carry her in… Dyson…"
Dyson dropped what he was doing and ran outside, picking Bo up, he carried her back inside.
"What have you been up to this time Bo…" he said, "You need to feed."
"Not from you." Bo said, determination written all over her face.
Dyson knew that, despite Bo's injuries, she wouldn't feed from him.
"Tamsin!" he shouted downstairs.
"What?!" Tamsin called back.
"Bo needs you!" he shouted.
Tamsin was up the stairs in a flash.
"Jesus Christ Succubus," she said, seeing the state that Bo was in, "did you have a fight with a bus?"
"I can't… I can't feed off you…" Bo said, looking at Tamsin, "it's not fair."
"I'm a big girl Bo," Tamsin replied, "I'll get over it…"
Dyson carried Bo through to the keg room, Tamsin followed them in. As Dyson left, he took one look back at the girls hoping Tamsin could force Bo to feed, before closing the door. Thankfully it was a pretty quiet night in the Dal.
"I can't feed off you…" Bo said, "If you could just take me home…"
"Not happening Bo," Tamsin said, "either you feed off me or you die. Simple."
"But Rainer…" Bo said.
"Isn't here," Tamsin said, not wanting to get into a discussion about him right now, "I'm your only option Bo, so feed…"
Tamsin kissed Bo softly; the Succubus reciprocated but didn't feed.
"God damn it Bo," Tamsin said, "feed."
Tamsin kissed her again, a little more forcefully this time, which did the trick.

"Sounds like they are going to break something in there…" Lauren said to Kenzi as they both sat at the bar.
"Only each other Doc," Kenzi replied, "only each other…"
Rainer walked into the Dal.
"Bo left me a message," he said, ignoring the looks he was getting from Kenzi and Lauren, "said she was here."
"She's…" Dyson said as a crash came from the keg room, "busy."
"Then I'll wait." Rainer replied, sitting on a stool at the end of the bar, "any chance of getting a beer?"
"Sorry, we're all out." Dyson replied, before going to serve some other people he could actually stand.

Bo was fully healed before the pair started losing clothes, there was just something deep down inside her that wouldn't let her stop. Tamsin had known it wouldn't take a 'full' feed for her to heal Bo, so she was a little surprised when the Succubus had taken it further. Maybe something within Bo remembered. As both girls finished getting dressed their eyes met.
"Thank you…" Bo said.
"Yeah…" Tamsin replied, grabbing her jacket from where it had ended up on the floor.
"Tamsin…" Bo started to say.
"Don't," Tamsin said, looking at her, "just don't…"
Bo nodded as Tamsin left the room. Tamsin clocked Rainer sitting at the far end of the bar.
"You okay T?" Kenzi asked.
"Yeah…" Tamsin replied, she looked at Dyson, "vodka please."
Dyson nodded and put a bottle of vodka down in front of Tamsin. As Bo left the keg room she noticed the drink in front of Tamsin.
"You're drinking again?" Bo asked.
"Never stopped." Tamsin replied.
"But you did cut down…" Bo started to say.
"Look, Bo," Tamsin said, "your concern is cute, but it looks like your destiny is waiting for you…"
Both Kenzi and Lauren winced at the venom in Tamsin's words. Bo nodded a little. She looked at Kenzi.
"You take care of her…" she said.
Kenzi nodded and watched as Bo walked out of the Dal with Rainer.

That night Bo lay awake in bed, not able to sleep, every time she closed her eyes all she could see was Tamsin. It was 3am when she decided to get up and go for a drive. She had no idea where she was going to drive to, but she ended up parked outside Tamsin's condo. She saw the lights were on, so she knew Tamsin was still awake. Bo sat outside the condo until the sun started to come up then she headed back to the Clubhouse.

Kenzi woke up that morning expecting to find Tamsin in the kitchen drinking coffee, but the Valkyrie was asleep on the sofa. Smiling a little Kenzi grabbed a blanket and put it over Tamsin. She had no idea why she was asleep on the sofa and not in her bed, but she wasn't about to question it, at least she was asleep.
There was a knock on the door, which made Kenzi jump. Answering the door she found Lauren and Dyson standing there.
"Bit early for a visit isn't it." Kenzi said, letting them in.
"We wanted to check on Tamsin." Dyson said, "After last night…"
"She's asleep." Kenzi said.
"She's actually sleeping?" Lauren asked, "Well that's a good thing."
"Not really Doc," Kenzi said, pouring them both coffee, "just means that she exhausted herself."
"I'm getting really worried about her." Dyson said.
"You and me both wolf-man." Kenzi said, "Do you have any more information on whoever it was that attacked her?"
"The blood results showed that the dead guy had Fae DNA." Lauren said.
"So it wasn't humans." Kenzi replied.
"I didn't say that." Lauren said, "I just said he had Fae DNA… he also had human DNA."
"How is that possible?" Kenzi asked.
"I have no idea," Lauren said, "I'm still running tests, trying to figure it out, as soon as I know something, I'll let you know."
Kenzi nodded.

A few hours later Kenzi was chatting to her cousin online when Tamsin made her way out of the living room and into the kitchen.
"Hey T." Kenzi said, "How did you sleep?"
"Badly…" Tamsin replied, pouring herself a cup of coffee.
"You may have slept better in your bed, rather than on the sofa." Kenzi said with a smile.
"I can't sleep in there…" Tamsin replied, "I've changed the sheets, I've bought brand-new bedding and it still smells like…"
"Bo…" Kenzi said.
Tamsin nodded.
"Maybe you helping her heal last night wasn't a great idea." Kenzi said.
"It was a terrible idea," Tamsin replied, "but what other option was there? The weird thing is she didn't need a full feed, she never does when it comes to me, but that didn't stop her…"
"So the Valkubanging didn't need to happen?" Kenzi asked.
Tamsin shook her head, and then looked at Kenzi, her brow furrowed.
"Valkubanging?" Tamsin asked.
"You're a Valkyrie, she's a Succubus, add that together you get Valkubus, add in the banging part…" Kenzi said, noticing the look on Tamsin's face she stopped, "I need a new hobby."
Tamsin just nodded in reply.

Tamsin had been a little wary of taking the job that Evony wanted her to do; she was still freaked out about getting attacked, because she still didn't know exactly what happened. She walked into Evony's office to find Bo there.
"They didn't say you were in a meeting," Tamsin said, about to turn around and leave, "I'll wait outside."
"This isn't a meeting," Evony said, "I need you two to work together on this."
"Right…" Tamsin said, sitting in the chair next to where Bo was sitting, "of course you do…"
"Is that going to be a problem?" Evony asked.
"No." Tamsin said, still not looking at the Succubus, "what is it you need us to do anyway?"
"I've had a bit of information about a weapon that is currently in the city," Evony said, "I need you two to go and… retrieve it for me."
"What kind of weapon?" Tamsin asked.
"A sword," Evony said, "It can cut through any shield, any surface… if someone is wounded by it, no man can ever recover."
"You mean Fragarach?" Tamsin asked.
"So you have heard about it." Evony said with a smile.
"I thought it was just a myth…" Tamsin replied.
Bo looked confused.
"Irish mythology," Tamsin said, "it's said whoever wields the sword controls the winds… In the right hands it would make someone pretty much unstoppable…"
"In the wrong hands…?" Bo asked.
"It's dangerous." Tamsin replied, she looked back at Evony, "why do you want it?"
"That's my business," Evony replied, "I just need you two to get it for me."
"Surely you could do that on your own," Bo said, "why us?"
"Well, I've offered a lot of money for it, my offer was turned down," Evony said, "I figured I'd send you two, if you can't… persuade them to hand it over, Tamsin can make them."

The drive over to the arms dealer was a quiet one, Bo looking out of the window and Tamsin concentrating on the roads.
"About last night…" Bo said, finally breaking the silence.
"Like I said last night, don't…" Tamsin said, "I think we've pretty much established if you need me I'll be there…"
"I don't even remember getting to the Dal…" Bo said, "All I remember is needing to be somewhere safe… I needed someone safe…"
Tamsin didn't say anything, she couldn't.
"I…" Bo said, "I needed you."
