Chapter Twenty One
Trick had been surprised at how easy it was to get Freya to agree to a meeting, he had passed on all the information that he could, told her exactly what the meeting was about. Tamsin really wasn't looking forward to it, as she had told everyone she wasn't exactly Freya's favourite person, one thing Gods did really well was hold a grudge. Tamsin had been young during the Trojan War, she and a couple of her fellow Valkyrie's thought it would be amusing for her to seduce Freya's youngest daughter, and Tamsin was never one to pass up a challenge. Even if she knew that eventually it would come back to bite her in the ass.
The meeting was taking place in the Dal; it seemed like the best place to hold the meeting, and the fewer people who knew about it the better. Tamsin, Bo, Kenzi, Dyson and Trick were all waiting for Freya to arrive; she was running late, which according to Tamsin was quite usual.
"You look like you're about to throw up." Kenzi said to Tamsin.
"This isn't going to end well," Tamsin said, "I can tell you that before she even gets here."
"Oh come on," Kenzi said, "what's the worst that can happen, she says no and you're no worse off than you were before."
"Kenzi's right," Dyson said, "either she'll help, or she won't. If she doesn't, we'll find another way."
"Unless you're going to find a way to get into Valhalla and manage to convince Odin that he should restore my Valkyrie, there is no other way." Tamsin said.
"Can we do that?" Bo asked.
"It's about as likely as hell freezing over and the devil learning to ice skate." Tamsin said.
The room started to fill with an unseen energy; it made Tamsin's skin crawl.
"What's the matter?" Bo asked.
"She's on her way…" Tamsin replied.
A bright light filled the room and when it faded Freya was there, with two of her guard.
"Bitch always knew how to make an entrance…" Tamsin said quietly.
"Thank you for agreeing to meet with us." Trick said.
"It's not every day I get a request for a meeting from the Blood King," Freya said, "and I have given some consideration to your reason for this meeting."
"I bet you have." Tamsin said.
"Not helping." Bo said, looking at Tamsin.
"Sorry…" Tamsin said.
"A quick temper and a smart mouth," Freya said looking at Tamsin, "something's never change. You really did it this time Tamsin; just what did you do to force Odin to make his favourite Valkyrie human?"
"She fell in love." Kenzi said.
"Love?" Freya asked with a laugh, "Tamsin? Oh that's classic."
"Told you this was a waste of time." Tamsin said standing up.
"Sit down child," Freya said, "I haven't finished."
Tamsin rolled her eyes but did as she was told.
"I can do what you're asking," Freya said, "I can restore her Valkyrie…"
"But." Tamsin said.
"It comes at a price." Freya replied.
"I have nothing left to give." Tamsin said.
"Not from you," Freya said, "from the Succubus."
"What could you possibly want from me?" Bo asked.
"The human was right, you two are in love, that much is painfully obvious," Freya said, "in return for me granting your request and restoring Tamsin's Valkyrie, you will lose your feelings for her."
"What?" Bo asked.
"You will no longer love her," Freya said, "yet she will still love you."
"That's low even for you." Tamsin said, "The Trojan War was lifetimes ago, you still can't let it go?"
"I can let go of a lot of things Tamsin," Freya said, "someone hurting my family, that I cannot let go."
"I didn't hurt anyone," Tamsin said with a smirk, "from what I remember she enjoyed it."
One of the Valkyrie's standing behind Freya tried to hold in her laugh, she failed. Freya shot her a look, one that Tamsin knew well, she was going to pay for her insolence later.
"That is my offer, my only offer," Freya said, turning her attention back to Tamsin, "I don't think you have many other options Tamsin. Either accept my offer or live out the rest of your days as a human."
"It's not up to me to accept it." Tamsin said, looking at Bo.
"So I won't remember that I love her?" Bo asked.
Tamsin could see the internal battle written all over her face.
"No," Freya said, "but if it is true love, if it is meant to be, then in time you may remember."
"So you're not saying that she'll never love her again," Kenzi said, "just that she won't remember for the foreseeable future?"
Freya nodded.
"Can I take a couple of minutes to decide?" Bo asked.
"Of course." Freya replied with a smile.
Bo stood up.
"Tamsin can I talk to you…" she said.
Tamsin nodded and stood up, she and Bo walked away from the table.
"What do I do?" Bo asked.
"I can't answer that Succubus," Tamsin replied, "it's your choice."
"I will remember…" Bo said.
Tamsin felt her heart break as the tears started to fall from Bo's eyes. She smiled a little and brought her hand up, softly wiping the tears away.
"No you won't…" Tamsin replied, "But know this, no matter what happens, I'm always yours."
"Is there any other way to do this?" Bo asked.
Tamsin shook her head a little.
"I love you…" Bo said.
She softly kissed Tamsin. Tamsin knew Freya would be watching this little exchange, knowing how much it was going to hurt Tamsin.
Tamsin and Bo walked back to the table.
"Okay," Bo said, "we'll do this your way."
Freya smiled a little.
"Do I need to be here for this?" Tamsin asked.
"No." Freya replied.
"In that case, I'm out of here," Tamsin said, she looked at Bo, "thank you…"
"For what?" Bo asked.
"Making me believe…" Tamsin said.

Tamsin was standing in the kitchen of the loft when the pain coursed through her veins. She gritted her teeth and gripped onto the kitchen side. Lauren could see the pain she was in and rushed over to her.
"Tamsin." She said.
"I'm okay…" Tamsin replied.
"No you're not." Lauren said.
"I'm fine." Tamsin said, looking at Lauren, letting her know not to press the issue.
The pain subsided and Tamsin felt like she could finally breathe again.
"What the hell was that Tamsin?" Lauren asked.
"I'm a Valkyrie again…" Tamsin replied.
"You don't sound too happy about that." Lauren said.
"I've lost the only person I have ever loved," Tamsin said, "what is there to be happy about… I need to get out of here… can you watch Melody?"
"Of course." Lauren said.
Tamsin grabbed her jacket and keys before leaving. She needed to clear her head or get very drunk, she couldn't decide which.

Bo was curled up on her bed when Kenzi walked into her room.
"Come on BoBo let's got to the Dal." Kenzi said, "Something tells me you could do with a drink."
"I feel empty Kenz…" Bo said, "And the worst part is I don't know why."
"Because you really did love her Bo." Kenzi said with a little smile.
"I guess…" Bo replied.
"And I am going to make you remember why, well, with the help of a bottle of tequila." Kenzi said.
