"Think Bo think", Bo whispered to herself.
"Dyson let's go, I need to run home for something and I don't want you here alone".
"Ok Bo".
Bo's phone rung.
"Bobo, Evony doesn't have them, although she does have two black eyes thanks to me. I thought she was lying to me but they are not here".
"Yes Kenzi, I know, my dad has them".
"You and Tamsin go to the club house. Me and Dyson are on our way there now".
'Ok, we out. Bye".
Bo looked worried so Dyson tried his best to assure her that everything will be fine.
"Oh Dyson, I'm not worried. I am still a little mad at you guys because had you told me about Aife I wouldn't be in this predicament. Now Lauren is once again in danger too".
"Bo I-".
"Don't Dyson. When this is all over you and I will have to have a serious talk if you're going to be fighting beside me in the years to come. Now hop in, we have to roll".
Meanwhile Hades was taunting both Lauren and Aife.
"Which one of you does Bo love the most? Who will she choose to live?
Lauren closed her eyes while secretly hoping that if it came down to it, Bo would choose her mother to be the one that lives. Since she knows how much she has missed her. She was trying not to cry in front of Hades.
Hades lurked in front of Aife a little more than he did Lauren.
"You gave me a beautiful daughter and now she and I will rule the world. Your sweet Isabeau won't be sweet for much longer".
They were both strung up with their arms over their heads.
"The succubus better hurry, my patience level has never been very good", he said running his hand over Lauren's chin.
Lauren moved her head backwards in disgust.
Hades laughed at her reaction.
Bo and Dyson arrived at the crack shack first. Bo ran upstairs and prepped for her fight with Hades.
Kenzi and Tamsin came running in and once again Tamsin reached for a bottle of wine.
"What's Bo got planned Dyson?
"I don't know. She didn't tell me"
"Bo has to be on all levels kind of mad. Lauren and her mom, this won't be pretty", said Kenzi
"She is still blaming me for lying about Aife", said Dyson
"Well you did lie to her about this twice Dyson", said Kenzi.
Dyson bowed his head.
Bo came running down the stairs. The succubus looked like she had every weapon at her dispoal with her.
"Kenzi you will stay here with Tamsin, I won't argue about this because I am running out of time", said Bo
Kenzi huffed. "Bobo just promise me, you'll come back plus two", said Kenzi
"Kenzi I will come back plus three".
The others looked at her puzzled.
"Dyson you are coming with me, I need you to stalk the outside of the lair, I don't know if Hades has any henchmen so we need to be prepared in case he does".
"I need you guys to stick to this plan. He's expecting me to come alone. I don't know what condition either of them are in and I can't make any mistakes".
"Bo what about Trick? He may be able to help", said Dyson
"Look this is my mother and Lauren. Neither of them has ever been on Trick's priority list. I can't trust him on something this big".
"And Lauren has not felt like she was a priority to me, I have to do this alone", said Bo.
"But Bo...", said Kenzi
"Dyson is the only one allowed to come with me and this time I mean it Dyson, this is my battle to fight. Stay outside".
"I do need some extra strength though", said Bo
Dyson looked like he was willing and ready to sleep with Bo
"No Dyson, I will only feed off of you and Tamsin. There will be no sex".
She fed off of both of them, grabbed the box, then she and Dyson took off for the lair.
"Tamsin I'm worried", said Kenzi
"I know, so am I, but we have to trust Bo. That man is evil and she is the only chance we have at defeating him".
"Let's watch a movie and keep our fingers and toes crossed", said Kenzi.
"Wine?
"Yep and I will order a pizza", said Kenzi
Bo and Dyson arrived. They remained in the car until Bo calmed her nerves.
"Don't worry about the outside Bo, I know this place like the back of my paws".
Bo smirked at his attempt at a joke
"He didn't lie though. I can smell Aife and Lauren near".
"I'm not really worried. I just know I have to be a one woman army against a man I've never met".
"Bo you are powerful in your own right and most of that power comes from him".
Just then 6 cops came running towards the car.
"Dyson!
"I know them Bo, I can handle them, go in and get them out of there".
Bo walked in quietly. The place still reeked of must and was darker than normal. Bo flipped on a light but couldn't see anything.
She finally caught a glimpse of Aife.
"She's beautiful when she sleeps isn't she?
Bo turned around slowly. "Daddy?
"Long time no see baby girl".
"I am far from a baby and more than a girl".
"Snippy just like your dear old mother".
"Where is Lauren?
Just then he switched on the light hanging over Lauren, she was awake but barely.
Bo did try and run to her but Hades told her no.
"Not yet, shall we share a drink first?
"Or a dance perhaps?
"Look Daddy, I know this is our first time meeting, but I don't trust you to serve me anything that's not toxic".
"Isabeau, I would never hurt you".
"No? What do you call this she asked pointing towards Lauren and Aife.
"But they are fine".
"Fine?
"Look at Lauren, that is not fine and who knows what you did to mom".
"I simply strapped them so they couldn't attack me. I just want to spend a little time with my baby. I haven't seen you since then".
"I don't care to be a part of a father/daughter bonding session. Let them go".
"Now I can't do that, that was not why you came here but if you're telling me you're ready to choose then let's get back to that".
"I told you, I won't choose".
"Isabeau, you will choose or I will choose for you".
"Haven't you damaged mom enough in her life?
"Are you saying you choose Lauren because your mother will die right now".
"Don't you dare go near her", said Bo pushing Hades back.
"Fine", Lauren it is then.
"Dad stop".
Hades didn't stop, so Bo swung at him and missed.
Hades shot a bolt from his hand at Bo that looked like it could be lightning but Bo dodged it.
"Now Isabeau that wasn't nice to swing at your dear old dad".
"Stay away from Lauren then", said Bo a little rattled by the bolt.
"You really are a lost girl, you can't choose between two women. But again I am not surprised, you could never really chose between Lauren and Dyson either".
"Wrong, I chose Lauren".
"That sounds like a choice again , say goodbye to your mother".
"No I said I chose Lauren over Dyson. Even Dyson knows that".
Lauren heard all of this and managed a tear but blinked it away so Hades wouldn't see.
"You...chose Dyson. But he follows you around like a puppy. Oh wait I'm sorry a wolf".
"Look dad I am not here to discuss my love life with a man who thought it was ok to cage the mother of his child".
Bo looked a little startled.
"You're going to kill them both aren't you dad?
"I could and I will if you don't make a choice".
"I told you, I won't choose. Let them go and take me instead".
"Oh, you are coming with me when this is all over".
Aife started to stir. Her muscles looked like she was tense or received a huge dose of energy. She managed to turn her head. Bo saw her and kept talking to Hades so he wouldn't turn around and notice.
"Ok Isabeau if you won't choose then there is something you will do or Lauren will instantly die".
"Bullshit".
"Tsk tsk Isabeau we talked about the cursing".
"I can see you came heavy with weapons, drop them. All of them or she dies right now", said Hades
Bo dropped her weapons
Hades bent down and picked up her sheath and walked towards Lauren.
"What do you want now?
"I want you to feed off of Lauren".
"What?
"You heard me Isabeau, you will feed off of Lauren".
"I will not do that. Step away from her and put my sheath down".
"I hold all the power here. You will feed off of Lauren".
"I don't know how old you are dad but in case you're hard of hearing, I will not feed off of Lauren".
"Bo".
"No Dad".
"Ok I will up my threat. For every minute you refuse to feed off of her, I will stab her".
Bo stood horrified. Was this man really that evil?
"Dad tell me you are not that evil".
"The clock is ticking Bo. You have about 30 seconds to do it or she will get stabbed".
"Dad!
"Twenty seconds".
Bo was losing her composure. She never wanted to feed off of Lauren under any circumstances.
"Ten seconds Bo".
"Wait I will do it, I'll feed off of Lauren".
Aife was awake now and staring at Hades
Bo had tears in her eyes as she walked up to Lauren.
"Dad can you give us a few minutes and space? I want to say goodbye after I've fed off of her".
When Hades walked to stand in front of AIfe, she bowed her head like she was still sleeping.
"Of course sweetheart, that's our girl, he said tapping Aife on her chest. He turned his back to them to give Bo the time and space she requested.
Bo grabbed Lauren and fed off of her.
"Ok Dad, I'm ready".
"Excellent", said Hades now facing them and once again standing in front of Aife.
"I'm so sorry Lauren", she said with tears streaming down her face.
Bo pulled back, dropped to the floor, and Lauren bowed her head down".
Hades looked stunned
"Mom now! Bo screamed
Aife broke her chains, grabbed Hades by his head and fed from him. He knew what was going on but was still strong enough to try and send a bolt towards Lauren.
Bo jumped in front of Lauren and deflected the bolt back to Hades with her hands. Aife was finished and dropped Hades to the ground.
Just then Dyson came in.
"Dyson I told you to stay outside but since you're here, I need to feed. Just feed Dyson", said Bo staring him in his eyes.
Bo fed from Dyson, freed Lauren from her chains and checked on her.
Dyson and Aife kept watch over Hades.
Bo carried Lauren to lay down on a sheet she found. Lauren was passed out. Bo bent over to kiss her.
"Lauren are you ok?
"Wake up sweetie".
"Bo, what happened asked Lauren as she slowly pushed her body up to sit
"Well Dr. Lewis, check your shirt".
"The amulet I gave you?
"Yep I knew it would come in handy one day if I ever faced a succubus again. But this time you were the one facing a succubus".
"What? asked Aife
"Is that how you resisted me Isabeau?
"Yes mom"
"Smart doctor you have there", smiled Aife.
"Now as for dad".
Bo stood up walked over to Hades body. She picked up the box that allowed him to escape.
"If this is how he got here then this is how he'll go back".
She turned the crank and Hades was gone in a matter of minutes. She gave the box to Aife to hold long enough for her to help Lauren stand up. She took the box back.
"I'm taking Lauren to the hospital so she can be checked out. Mom you're coming with us, I'm not letting you out of my sight".
"Dyson I will drop you off at the Dal so you can fill Trick in and I will call you guys tomorrow".
Aife wanted to see Trick but wanted to spend time with her daughter more so she happily complied.
