Blurring Chapter 37:
"One...two...three...clear!" The sound of a sizzling crack and thump brought Tamsin from the depths of darkness as her body began to stir. "Charging..."
"Bo dammit come on!"
"She's not responding!" The valkyrie finally found the strength after hearing a second sizzling crack and thump along with the voice of her shifting partner and her dear sweet momz. Eyes forced open turning head slowly building her focus noticing her surroundings then sliding her gaze to the crowd around the doctor's table.
"Charging..."
"Come on Bo...breathe damn you!" Dyson shouted putting his mouth over the brunette's trying to force air into her backing up trembling.
"Clear!" Lauren set the paddles on the succubus' chest as her body convulsed and dropped back onto the table. "She's...damn you succubus breathe!" The doctor was fighting back tears as Tamsin sat up forcing herself to her feet stumbling forward shoving both the doctor and wolf out of the way stepping beside Kenzi gripping the table. "Tams...in..." The valkyrie felt the fury build slapping Bo hard across the face as her head violently flipped to the side. "TAMSIN!"
"NO! You don't get to escape that easily! You stubborn pain in my valkyrie ass!" Tamsin practically screamed grabbing Bo by her hair yanking her head forward. "You promised...I would be by your side..." The blonde felt her eyes well up with tears. "Prove me right succubabe...prove your deadbeat father wrong...you said I was more alive than anyone you ever met..." Kenzi turned to the valkyrie. fighting back her own tears unable to as they descended down her face. "I'm dead...without you...you gave me back hope...I live...because of you..so YOU...CANT...d...i...e..." Lauren charged the paddles once more stepping forward but the valkyrie shoved her back. "NO!"
"Tamsin dammit!" Lauren shouted angered that this stupid woman would stop her attempt at reviving the brunette. She glanced down at Kenzi who gripped her best friend's hand at Dyson who clenched the table and the valkyrie who held tight to her lover's head. Lauren heard the bag drop as Trick stood close to her with eyes wide and saddened. The doctor painfully lowered her arms holding the paddles counting in her head. Her heart began to shatter realizing how much time had passed.
"Bo...Bo!" Kenzi sobbed dropping her head on the brunette's stomach shaking crying heavily. Tamsin couldn't breathe releasing her grip on her beloved's hair taking a quivering step back breaking through ever fiber of her body staring through the succubus. She didn't understand. How could she? The wound she had worried about before had closed. So why...why was she...
"Bo..." The wolf muttered gripping the table tighter lowering his head letting the pain out through his tears. He couldn't believe this woman...whom had given everything over and over to protect them all, now lay lifeless before the ones whom loved her the most.
"Bo...no..." Kenzi was crumbling clinging to the one whom rescued her from her shattered life who from the get go barely knew her but jumped in front of every danger to protect her. She thought back to every precious moment shutting her eyes dying inside. Had she come back too late? Had she caused this all?
This wasn't what she had prayed for! So why now?! It wasn't fair! 'You can't abandon me Bo! You can't coward out and leave us all!'
Kenzi lifted her head grabbing Tamsin by the wrist turning to meet the distraught eyes of the barkeep. Trick studdied the human's face widening his eyes realizing why she stared so deeply at him.
"I...I can't..." Dyson lifted his own head as everyone including the silent hunter in the back of the room fixed eyes on him. "Kenzi...I can't!"
"Bullshit! This is your granddaughter Trick! Your own flesh...and blood! You would let her just...perish?!" The blood king slammed his fist against the shelf beside him.
"I can't Kenzi!" Tamsin finally caught on taking the human's hand gripping it.
"Your blood...you rewrite history...with your..."
"This is different!" Trick shouted.
"Damn right this is different! This is Bo!" Tamsin snarled.
"My blood...can't..." The barkeep choked on the words he truggled to get out. "My blood...won't...work...HE..." The valkyrie collapsed against Dyson and Kenzi whom held her up barely.
"Hades...his blood..." Tamsin suddenly flashed back to when she had thrust the sword into the dark lord, and into Bo as well. As if she had watched the transfer the vision pipped into her head. The moment the blade bled his life essence it dripped into her chest as the tip penetrated her body joining their family blood. The valkyrie understood then and shut her eyes focussing all the rage and power inside of her on one ominous being. 'Hades...' She didn't care about the repercussions, it didn't matter. 'I know you're there you selfish bastard! Let...her...go!' She shuddered as his laughter echoed in her ears. 'Oh you stupid stupid valkyrie...you think I would surrender my hold on her? No...her spirit will find its way...here...to me...' Tamsin clenched her fist not holding Kenzi's hand but the goth felt the tremble looking at her as the blonde's eyelids shot open focussed with her burning fury that the underworld king stirred inside of her. "Hades is preventing her return."
"What?!" Trick Kenzi Lauren and Dyson all chimed.
"Bo...fought him...and he overpowered her...I had to save her from him..." Lauren studied the eyes of anger flicker to an excruciating pain. "...I picked up his cane sword...I attacked him as he forced Bo to feed from him...but the blade...it punctured them both..." Trick swallowed hard and finally understood why he knew his blood would do nothing, why he felt it struggling in his heart. Her father's blood had mixed with Bo's giving him the ultimate hold over his granddaughter. "Hades..." Tamsin growled as the anger took hold of her once more letting go of her mom'z hand flipping around meeting the doctor's eyes. "Give it to me..." Tamsin stated as Lauren looked at her confused.
"Excuse me?"
"Cut the crap doc...I know, you keep a vile of Bo's blood in your stash." Lauren felt her eyes widen trembling.
"You're completely out of your mind! Tamsin..." The valkyrie went the fridge flinging it open. "Tamsin I..." Lauren watched as she picked out the very vile the doctor had hid holding a needle in the other.
"Inject me." Tamsin demanded shoving both into the doctor's hands clenching her hand over and over pumping making a fist slamming down her arm exposing her veins. The human medic was at a loss for words. "Do it Lauren."
"You have no idea..."
"Shut up and inject me!" The valkyrie growled dead set on her plan. Lauren hesitated feeling her own hands for once tremble with the thought of injecting someone with the succubus' blood. But she breathed out slow and the shaking stopped as she ignored every screaming thought that this was a reaaaaally bad idea filling the syringe.
"You're an idiot Tamsin or...this cockomamie plan of yours may just work." With those words spoken the doctor found one of the valkyrie's popping veins and slid the needle in. Tamsin focussed her eyes on the stream of blood being pushed into her slowly shutting them taking a controlled breath until...
"Tamsin?" Kenzi asked stepping forward about to put a hand on the blonde's shoulder until she heard a violent gasp and Tamsin's eyes shot open shifting deathly black without the contortion of her face backing up hitting the table clenching it breathing heavily close to hyperventilation as flashes of Bo's powerful blue eyes played in her head. But that wasn't all the valkyrie felt. It was if all the power her lover had obtained had transfered into Tamsin rushing through her veins coursing through her body causing a loud heavy drumming in her ears as she felt herself so brutally close to a uncontrollable convulsion. The strength the sheer force of it all, it was no wonder Bo had struggled so deeply the urge to surrender to it. The valkyrie felt the powerful high the rush and she knew if she didn't get a hold of herself she would fall to the addiction of it. But then came the calling, so small so quiet at first until the voice grew louder and louder ringing her ears echoing in her skull. "Tamsin!" The blonde could barely make out any other voices between the violent rhythm of her own thundering heartbeat and the soft seductive voice of her lover she couldnt even comprehend her own actions.
"She's far too gone for any of us to reach her. She has to ride this out on her own Kenzi." Trick warned as the human stepped back with concern racked in her eyes. He watched as the valkyrie writhed with several wicked convulsing bucks and trembles yet still standing gripping the metal table clenching with the power of a giant pumped up on steroids crushing the edge of it easily. Then suddenly the trembles her uncontrollable movements ceased. Tamsin's head lowered slowly and she walked toward Bo's body as if in a powerful trance opening her eyes of her own hazel green black and the succubus' glowing blue. "Something's pulling her."
"Bo's father?" Dyson asked terrified if that was the case. Trick shook his head as Tamsin stopped before the brunette's lifeless body placing hands on either side of her head.
"I...don't think so." 'Bo...are you calling her?' Trick and the others watched as a powerful wind rushed around them both and the blood king could practically feel the energy the heat radiating off that gust in waves.
"Bo..." Tamsin muttered as her shoulders flung back and wings pushed out of her body spreading and flapping causing a gasp from her friends her family. She lowered her head down to her love's softly covering her lips with her own half in her valkyrie state. Shutting her eyes of solid black now she lingered her kiss.
"Tamsin?" Lauren called out with a grave concern over what Bo's blood might have done to the valkyrie. Once not so far back her, Dyson and Kenzi been injected with the succubus' life force to aid Bo in a vicious battle against a very ruthless enemy all willing to take a risk that it wouldn't enslave them. Yet the way Tamsin was acting...it was far too close to the way a thrall would. Every scenario played through her head until everyone heard a gasp watching as a hand struck out clasping Tamsin by the neck and the body beneath Tamsin came to life flashing a pair of powerful glowing burning blue eyes. Instantly the kiss was broken as the radiant blue chi started to pull from the valkyrie whose eyes were no longer the succubus' nor pitch black. They were Tamsin's they were wide and they were trembling. One moment the brunette was laying lifeless on the slab and the next, she sat up with a firm grip on the blonde's throat now standing literally holding the valkyrie's body upright with her feet barely on the ground. Lauren stepped back feeling her own body shudder. Kenzi did the same clasping Dyson's wrist. Trick went to move to for some reason break the feed but his body remained frozen.
The brunette was alive, feeding...draining, the life out of the noble valkyrie. No one could stop it no one else tried and the entire room was raked with fear. Bo had indeed returned but something...something, was terribly wrong with their beloved succubus. Ysabeau wasn't stopping and if they let it continue...Tamsin would die by the hands of the one she would willingly give her very life for...
