You ever have one of those days when you get up, and you really don't want to do anything but lay in bed? Well I won't be getting a day like that today. Super dope has gotten his ass into another problem, and of course, Bo wants to go help. Why can't we go to Lauren's? We are Dark Fae helping the golden boy of the Light Fae again.

It would work for me. The law about Light and Dark getting it on would suit me well. Then I wouldn't have to touch or ride him again when Bo does.

That's the life of this Succubus sharing a body with captain stupid. The man is thousands of years old. So he's old enough to clean up his own shit. Damn I saved him after the Dawning. I didn't want it to become a recurring theme. That's why Bo is on her own with this mission. I will sit back and watch and bear witness to another long ass, and boring case.

How he ever made detective nobody has ever explained. Probably made it as a human cop. They probably never found out that he is Fae, and if they did, he probably ate them.

I get it. She's pissed at Lauren. But what kind of friend leaves a human friend behind with maniacs, or the likes of Evony? She stews every night thinking of what they are doing to each other. I can tell you that they are not doing anything. Lauren's aura is always dark when it comes to the Morrigan. There is nothing but contempt there. But Bo sees more. I laugh at how young she is, considering how old I am. Physically. Emotionally. Lauren loves us and Bo can't see that either. Embarrassing to share a brain with the brainless.

It is those same emotions that saved Lauren from the Lich. In the sex club. I never once laid a hand on her. Well if you count the third time we all made love. That was all me, and damned if she thought I was Bo, I enjoyed myself. Then my dipstick Grandfather called.

What the fuck could he want? He's the Blood King. Older than dirt, why did he too need Bo to fix things? Work on cases, he could solve? I never once heard him say anything bad about Lauren. He couldn't anyways. I'd ram his tongue down his nose.

I have been the one that has been saving Lauren. It was never her injections that sustained me enough to not kill her. It was all her. Her smell. Her taste. Her warmth. Her touch. Her faith. Her acceptance of what I really am. Her love.

Think about it, would human Science be able to fix a Fae's hunger? She's brilliant but no. I did that. The moment I saw her, I knew I had to see more of her. Bo was dumb getting up and leaving her naked in her bed, I wanted her over, and over, and over, and over again. Who gave a fuck about the Ash? The way she kissed and licked our body, there was nothing sinister or devious about it. But again I am older than Bo. So I never get mad over petty shit.

So here we are sitting on Kenzi's bed. Waiting for Lauren. She finally called her and I was excited until she mentioned wanting to help Dyson stave off death again. Again! Who cares if he dies, he's not who we want. What the fuck has he ever done to help us? Yes he was the first Fae that we didn't kill after sleeping with. I did that too. I did that so Lauren wouldn't be afraid of the monster I thought I was. I wanted her to think she was helping me medically, when she was helping me psychologically. Bringing my confidence to an all time high.

I hope she's not planning on sleeping with Lauren on this bed. It doesn't have the same bounce and comfort that our bed does. We'd fall off of this putrid thing. It's rusting. I never want Lauren sleeping on anything like that.

She deserves silky sheets, with the softest of blankets on top. Man what I wouldn't give or kill to be her body blanket right now. But nope. I'm sitting here tapping my feet waiting for her to come. Cassie has been here and mumbling something about wanting to fix my memory issues. What issues? I never forgot anything. Bo is just using it as a crutch to be an ass. And they are all falling for it. Well except for Lauren because would you believe she's our Dr, and if Bo wanted pity, she could tell her. But then again, Lauren might see that lie.

I think Bo lost her balls somewhere inside of Tamsin. Although she has yet to sleep with her, something about her aura around Lauren disturbs me a bit and I can't quite put my finger on it. I should have just drained her in Brazenwood, and none of these thoughts would be necessary. I should have drained everyone but Lauren and mom.

Lauren because she's my love, and mom because she's a don't give a fuck Succubus like me. Oh and my mother. Which means someone that knows who my father is. Whomever he is, as dark as my thoughts get, he's a straight bastard, but a part of me likes that.

This damned rambling Oracle won't shut up for shit. My ears perk up when I hear distinct heels on the stairs. My nostrils flare up at her smell. Her perfume and her shampoo. Damn Evony has been hooking her up alright because she looks delicious enough to eat.

So she gives Bo and Cassie the run down. Apparently Bo is going to recognize people she knows that fit intos Dyson's past. Well shit, lets get the show on the road and hope he has a gf. A blonde, drop dead, gorgeous girlfriend. Ooo finally this dull ass shit is about to get good.

He we are. In Dyson's clothes and we have his favorite body par too. I don't know why he's so proud of the thing, my pinky is bigger and longer than this thing is.

We skip forward past the bullshit and holy crap Lauren, I mean Flora can sing! Ok. I need to buy her more of those skimpy little outfits she's wearing. Mmmmmm.

Ok. So every time I look into a mirror I will see Dyson. But who cares. I am finally alone with Lauren. No annoying kiss ass Kenzi. No Trick. No Dyson, not really. No Evony. Just us. She threatens to stab me and that's hot too. We lunge for each other and kiss.

Slap. Ouch. But it's making me aroused at the same time. Down boy! Not you. I say slapping Dyson's penis back down. We talk about her wanting to return to her meadow. No. Lauren. I mean Flora can't leave. We've only kissed so far, and I want more!

She pulls on my pants, I pull her to me and we dance. So close. Kiss her again. Kiss her. I know you don't need my protection, but you will always get it.

We kiss again! Yes! I walked away and she followed me. Now! Now we are in our bed. You can disguise it all that you want, but my ass knows how it feels. We are stripping each other. I can't take it anymore and flip her over. There is a mirror on the far wall. Don't look at it. Don't look at it.

I shake my head and I swear my eyes turned a deeper blue the deeper I pushed into her. I closed my eyes and let Bo do the rest, I don't want to see how bored Flora looks with a penis inside of her. It's heartbreaking because all I see is Lauren. I'm on the bottom again, and we are talking and then there is a hard knock at the door. Sounds like Vex, but who cares or knows. Eventually I knock him out and put the ugliest shoes any woman has ever seen on Flora.

Her eyes and mood changed as she kicked me to the floor. I chase after her and find her kneeling over a dead body and her hands are different. I hear Bo try to talk her out of succumbing to the dark side. I find it hot personally.

She swings, kicks and swings at me again. None of it hurt of course, it tickled mostly. We lunged at each other again, and this time, she looks more like Flora again. She's nearly crying and I'm trying to hold my shit together to keep from crying. She's sorry for what she has become. Sounds like somebody I know. She just wants to be free. Like someone else I know. Bo tried to pull the shoes off but they wouldn't come off. Suddenly she's shot in the back and I can see the bastard. I want to break out into full Succubus mode, but I am supposed to be a wolf, so there is nothing that I can do to save Flora.

There we were. Kneeling down at Flora's grave after Bo had dug the hole and buried her. She had even gone back to Flora's room to grab something clean to dress her in. I licked my lips when I saw her underwear again but was soon disgusted when I realized I was ogling a dead woman's body.

Snapping out of it and refocusing I waited for Bo to pick out the box, and flowers that she was going to place on her grave once it was all done.

I honestly didn't know why she was putting so much effort into all of this. We didn't know that woman. She was another one of the women Dyson used his shitty wolves mate for life line on. But we were so close to going home that I decided I could bide my time and push through it. Just as I had in Dyson's memories but with some minor adjustments.

I didn't care about this case. Nor did I care about any of the bullshit cases Bo worked with Dyson on. If she wanted to see Lauren she could have gone and seen her without needing a bullshit excuse. Like Kenzi once told him, he's his own police dog so why would he need Bo for anything? Oh wait. My mistake. He wanted Bo's help the same way Bo wanted Lauren's medical expertise. As a reason to sleep with her. To see her. To inhale her scent. Pathetic.

Just pathetic. We have been attracted to Lauren since the first time we heard her voice when she said "I'm sorry. The Morrigan insists on seeing her".

We mentally insisted too. We mentally insisted that one of these assholes in front of us staring like we were some kind of infected animal, would give us a reason to see her. Alone. To look at her. Suddenly our chance had finally arrived when the punk said "Lauren needs to examine the girl".

Holy damn if she wasn't the most beautiful woman we had ever seen. We had noticed her out of the corner of our eye but to see her with both eyes...hell there is no other way to say it, we wet our panties with arousal.

My mouth had always watered for her. Sharing a body with Bo, I know hers did too. Even if her anger contradicted what she wanted. She always wanted Lauren. Hell here we are still in Dyson's dream burying a woman, Bo pictured as Lauren. But as you can imagine my part of the show was different.

When it came to sleeping with Flora. I made one adjustment. I ripped his balls off and used my fingers to penetrate her. I wanted Lauren and I would never insult her by using a thousand year old penis to do it. It's probably why she died. If she had been sleeping with Dyson she probably already had some kind of Venereal disease. I will have to ask Lauren to check us once we get out of here.

When Bo looked into the mirror and imagined Dyson was sleeping with Flora. All I saw was Lauren. Forget the seven years of bad luck when you break a mirror voodoo. I shattered the hell out of that glass. Although I am currently struggling to get that image out of my head. It is so time to go home. Ok. Ok. You buried her, now let's go Bo!

"Bo"...

Wait that wasn't my voice. That wasn't even Bo's voice.

That was...No! No! It can't be! Not again! Damn it! Have you ever wanted to kick your own ass? Well I have and do. That moment is right the fuck now! I turned my head slowly into the direction the voice came from.

I fell. I fell in the fresh dirt. It's Lauren! Damn it! She sacrificed herself, again! I've had it! I've had it with Bo! I've had it with her stinky dog! I've had it with this bullshit dream! I stood up and screamed and Lauren retreated. She retreated from me! Me! I'm not the threat! Bo is. Bo has always been the only threat standing between me and the woman we both love and adore.

I was fed up if you couldn't tell by now. But I wasn't Bo. If Lauren is here, then Cassie must have left. Damn Dyson and that damn shoe. I woke up.

Jumping up out of his memories, I yanked the probes off, immediately turning to Lauren. I don't even know how to get her out but I knew me and knew what I was about to try.

"Don't cut the string..or something like that, Lauren mumbled, over and over again.

I bent over and kissed her pushing my Chi into her mouth. C'mon on baby. Wake up.

It worked. She woke up and called me Bo again. Hell if I cared because she was about to kiss me again. It was slow and delicious.

I looked around. I wanted to see if anyone was in the room besides us. I didn't know where that bitch ass Cassie had gone and frankly I didn't care, but I would be paying her a visit very soon. I looked at the mirror and noticed I wasn't supposed to cut Lauren's string. I never needed to. I'm a powerful Succubus. All I ever needed was my mouth to solve most of the Fae bullshit.

"Bo...Bo is it really..you? Lauren asked me softly.

"No". The Succubus gently shook her head.

"Then who are you? Lauren asked.

"You can call me Isabeau. Now are you ready to go? The Succubus asked gently.

"What? Where are we going? Lauren asked.

"I am taking you home Doctor". Isabeau said picking the Doctor up.

"What? What about Dyson? Lauren asked.

I swallowed hard in my anger. That pissed me off too. Dyson didn't even like Lauren and she had helped him so many times.

"Don't you worry about him. I'll fix it". Isabeau said carrying Lauren down the stairs.

The Succubus walked slowly and carefully as not to bump Lauren's legs and feet on anything.

"You didn't bring your medical bag right? Isabeau asked.

"I brought the equipment upstairs, and my medical bag is on the couch". Lauren said trying not to blush from how tenderly she was being carried around.

The Succubus walked over and bent Lauren over the couch. "Grab it". She said softly.

"Bo...". Lauren said with worry. She didn't know what was going on and it bothered her.

"Please call me Isabeau".

"Isabeau. We really need to save Dyson. They will kill him if we don't". Lauren said.

"No". Isabeau said.

"No? Lauren asked. She had never told her no before.

"No we will not be going. You are going home. I will go and talk to the Una Mens once I get you settled at home". Isabeau smiled warmly. Fuck them. They can wait.

Lauren sighed. She was not about to argue with the Succubus. She knew this was the Dark part of Bo. She had seen her more times than anyone in their group had. Whatever was about to go down. Maybe it was better that she went home. She was human and vulnerable to the Una Mens. They were the reason she ran all of those months ago. She wondered why Bo's Succubus didn't surface back then, but she couldn't worry about that now. She seemed to be in a hurry so Lauren grabbed her bag and walked towards her.

Isabeau held her hand out and Lauren took it. She never trusted anyone in the Fae. Or in the bullshit group Lauren was trying to protect.

"How did you get here? Isabeau asked.

"One of Evony's guards drove me". Lauren said digging into her pocket for her phone.

"Don't". Isabeau said walking Lauren over to Bo's Camaro. Opening the passenger side door, she gestured for Lauren to get in. Taking Lauren's bag from her she gently set it down on the backseat floor.

Popping the trunk the Succubus pulled some tools out and walked to the front of the car to pop the hood. After ten minutes she shut it and walked to put the tools back. Sixty ticks my ass.

Pulling some hand wipes from the glove compartment she cleaned her hands and turned to the Doctor. "Ready? She asked.

"But Dyson...

"Stop it Lauren. You're going home. I will take care of that". Isabeau said starting the car and slowly pulled away. Once they were on the road she sped up. Once they passed sixty miles per hour she mentally patted herself on the back. Bo had no faith in her own abilities to fix anything she laughed. It was too out of date for the Succubus' taste but would serve her purposes until she found something better. Preferably another muscle car but sleek and sexy.

Thinking of Bo had triggered a mental struggle and no matter how much Bo protested, her answers weren't good enough for the Succubus to relent. She really didn't have an argument. Who had protected Lauren from the Lich? Bo had watched him take Lauren away from her and hold her down on a table before she relented so why would the Succubus relent now?

Human Lauren had come to Bo with the weight of the Ash's orders on her shoulders. She knew about Vex a lot more than Bo did. But all Bo thought about was going after him and nearly got her ass kicked. Leaving a remorseful, deliciously tasty and naked Lauren in her bed. Didn't even give Lauren a chance to explain herself. But yet she gave Trick and Dyson plenty of opportunities to explain about Saskia who was really Aife. Their mother! But most importantly their Succubus mother! What could a blood sage and his trusty dog teach her about being a Succubus? Hell they don't even know who her father i, so why try and protect her when she kicked ass all on her own?

Now when human Lauren had gone to Taft's and Bo left her there. Lauren had stayed with the Dark and Bo had left her there. Didn't even question why. All Bo could think of was getting Lauren into the same stanky ass bathtub she hadn't cleaned since the last time she had taken a bath.

Human Lauren had gone against everything she knew and for just about everyone that she knew. Bo's claimed human, her dog, Hale and their grandfather.

Human Lauren had just gone into Dyson's memory. For a man that hated her. Hated everything about her. Hid her from Bo. She hadn't forgot that argument Bo and Dyson had when he admitted he had been tracking Lauren but lost track of her. Bo just shook her head and told him not to apologize but to just go and find her. Isabeau laughed mentally when Bo found Lauren at Evony's party and Bo didn't even call to tell him that she found Lauren. Good. Let that bastard keep chasing his tail. He had always been an ass to Lauren and deserved to be humiliated. Like he had humiliated her in front of Bo on the couch at the Dal and she still didn't defend her. Didn't offer an apology, just a half assed explanation.

No more Isabeau mentally bristled. Lauren wasn't just in love with Bo. She was in love with her too and she was going to make sure she got all that she deserved. Bo would just have to sit and stir. Just like Isabeau had to sit, lay, stand for all the losers she slept with over the years trying to pretend it was love. Isabeau thought she was a monster. They really aren't, they just didn't like those bastards and thought they deserved to die. Kyle had been cheating on her and she overlooked it. He had to die too. All the rest were either plotting to kill Bo or her adoptive parents.

Isabeau had surfaced every time Bo and Lauren made love. Lauren never kicked her out of her bed or gotten out of bed. That's why Isabeau relented at the sex club. She did remember the first time she touched Bo. She wanted her then, but knew they had other business to tend to first, and Bo hadn't even known what her Succubus could do. She just thought she was a killer. Well her actions nearly led to Lauren's death. Going to sleep and leaving Lauren exposed to the Fae to help Dyson escape death. So what? Let him die. He would let Lauren die. Isn't that the real reason he never told Bo he knew where Lauren was? It wasn't just to have Bo temporarily to himself, he wanted Lauren gone. He hoped the Una Mens would kill her so Bo would fall out of love with Lauren and back in love with him. Stupid dog. Bo always thought of Lauren when she was sleeping with him. Isabeau should know, she was there. Look at who she thought of when she was in his dreams!

That was over. Lauren was Isabeau's priority and everything about Lauren would remain her priority. It was Lauren who told Bo she was a Succubus. It was Lauren who taught her how to control her hunger. It was Lauren who helped her most in her fight against Aife. Aife would have kicked her ass otherwise. Isabeau didn't know of the Koushang and hell if that thing wouldn't be sexy in bed. Sure Isabeau would cough for a few minutes, but she would always get over it. It was Lauren that stopped Taft from killing anymore Fae or humans. Dyson just got the leftovers from it. It was Lauren who had shed blood, sweat and tears over her abuse of and from the Fae for five years. Bowed to them. Just because they cursed Nadia. Those days are over. They would be bowing to her now. Bowing to everything that she would ask for from here on out.

"Which way? Isabeau asked after they had pulled into the parking lot of the Dark Fae compound.

When Lauren pointed, the Succubus turned slowly and drove to the nearest entrance. Bo had gone to the compound many times but even the Succubus didn't notice where the Doctor had been directing her to.

They finally parked and the Succubus went to open the car door for Lauren. Extending her hand she waited for the Doctor to take it.

"It's ok Lauren. I'm Dark remember? Isabeau smiled. She wasn't afraid at all but it irked her that Lauren looked at her in such a distrusting manner. All Bo's fault. For letting Lauren think and feel that way. For allowing Lauren to stay with the Dark when all she needed to do was kick ass and Lauren would have been free. It was Bo's fault for not noticing Lauren felt like she was still a prisoner. A slave. A commodity. Sure there was no chain around her neck anymore, but Bo left her there to be dragged around by an invisible one by Evony. That was over too.

Lauren gently lead the Succubus to her private quarters. She cringed knowing how she would react once they reached it. Having been in Afghanistan Lauren had seen worse sleeping quarters.

She heard Isabeau take a deep breath. They both knew not to expect first class anything from Evony. Look at her Dark Fae party. She had killed the bride, groom and wedding party after she crashed their wedding. Closing her eyes and taking her own deep breath Lauren finally opened the door.

Isabeau walked in first. She never trusted Evony and never would. Lauren had already been protected but she didn't know it yet.

The Succubus walked around and looked at everything. Above everything. Under everything. Inside of everything, even Lauren's closet. When her small tour was done, she turned back to the Doctor.

"Lauren...

"Let me explain". Lauren said.

"I know what you are doing Lauren. Just answer me one question". Isabeau said softly.

"Ok? Lauren said and braced for the question.

"Are you happy living here? Isabeau asked.

Lauren laughed. She was expecting her to ask something else. The truth was she wasn't happy living there, but it would do for what she was plotting to do.

"Lauren". Isabeau said softly pulling Lauren from her thoughts.

"No Bo...Isabeau. I am not happy living here. The only thing I do like is the labs. Everything else is horrible, out of date or stolen". Lauren said.

"Ok. Are you ready for my next question? Isabeau asked. She had mentally logged Lauren's other answers.

"Yes". Lauren said softly looking around the room. This one was going to be harder to answer. She knew the Succubus would be furious either way.

"Are you here to protect Bo and earn your freedom from the Morrigan? Isabeau asked.

"Yes but I...". Lauren started.

"No buts. That's all I needed to know. Please come with me". Isabeau asked extending her hand to Lauren again.

Lauren took her hand, albeit reluctantly, but she did. She knew where they were going now and things were about to get nasty. Perhaps even violent. She knew Bo had been as equally jealous as she was angry when Lauren had decided to stand back with the Dark. She didn't know how her Succubus felt about it, but was sure she was about to find out.

They walked slowly but swiftly. Lauren took it as the Succubus way of trying to stay calm but knowing she was furious at the same time to get there. To get to the Morrigan. To Evony.

Bursting into Evony's office, they found her looking over some papers.

The Morrigan sighed. "What the hell is she doing here?

"Who Lauren? She's Dark remember? Isabeau bristled.

"Not Dr. Lewis. You! What are you doing here? The Morrigan asked standing up.

"That's right you always dealt with Bo, but you have never dealt with me". Isabeau said slowly.

"Do not threaten me Bo. I'm your boss. I own your ass". The Morrigan laughed.

"As I said. You have always dealt with Bo. You've never dealt with me. I'm Isabeau. You don't own my ass, but you may kiss it whenever you like". Isabeau laughed at the last part.

"Bo. Isabeau. Succubitch. Succuslut. What do you want? I'm busy and I'm sure Lauren has a lot of work to do too". The Morrigan spat.

"Dr. Lewis doesn't much like violence, but that doesn't mean I won't kick your ass right in front of her, if you don't do as I ask". Isabeau said.

"You haven't asked me anything! The Morrigan groaned.

"Lauren likes it here. So you will leave. Right now and be assured once you are out of this building and off the grounds. You are never to return. Whatever you have hanging over her head is no longer of use to you. Lauren will be free and she will be highly protected. By me". Isabeau said.

The Morrigan scoffed. She thought Bo was slow and didn't remember anything about having a sponsor. Forgetting that Bo had an inner Succubus. Damn she mumbled.

"Isabeau we've never...". Lauren said.

"I get it. I'm not Bo. You wouldn't just sleep with anyone. Especially not with someone as horrible as this bitch is". Isabeau said turning to leave for the Morrigan's bedroom. She was stirring on the inside. She was ready to tear the place apart but Lauren liked it so she kept her cool.

"Now wait a minute! The Morrigan screamed running after them.

The Succubus and Doctor were already in her room by the time she caught up with them.

Isabeau had already torn into her desk. The lock was so cheap it only took her seconds to open it. She found the contract and pulled it out to read. She knew she needed to find the fine print for any of this to be binding in the Fae world.

"The above listed shall remain sole property of the Dark Fae until said sponsor dies or this contract is destroyed".

"Wait Lauren? You've never signed this yet? The Succubus asked.

"That's what I have been trying to tell you. I'm not officially Dark". Lauren said softly, and stood at a distance.

"You're here because of us right? Because we are Dark? Isabeau asked.

Lauren didn't say or do anything, but look towards the ground.

"I understand. But you are still staying here since you like it, and Evony is leaving". The Succubus said.

"You can't make me leave, if you can't catch me". The Morrigan said running away.

"Ah ahh ahhh. No running in the house". Vex chuckled using his Mesmer to hold The Morrigan in place.

"Vex. You saved me a trip". Isabeau said.

"Well if it isn't Bo the Energizer Succubunny". Vex laughed.

"Let the Morrigan go. I will only ask you once". Isabeau said.

"You can't tell me you give a damn about her". Vex said trying not to laugh.

"Oh I don't but she will suffer under my doing, not yours". Isabeau said.

"Fine. Fine". Vex said lowering his hand.

"Now. Lauren will be free should you die, or I burn this contract. Which one shall it be Lauren? Isabeau asked.

"I don't want to see you kill her". Lauren said.

"Always the Doctor. The contract it is then". Isabeau said as she threw it into the air. Vex and Lauren both jumped back as she set it on fire with her mouth.

"When...when did you learn how to do that? Vex asked stuck in place.

"I have always known". Isabeau said watching the paper fall to the ground.

"What do you think of this room Lauren? Do you like it? Isabeau asked.

"No". Lauren said.

"It is settled then. The whole place will be redone to your specifications. Write them down for me and it will all be remodeled". Isabeau said.

"Isabeau...". Lauren said.

"Wait do you want to live here? You don't have to. I can arrange to have a brand new house built! Isabeau said softly.

"I do like the lab though". Lauren said.

"Everything will be taken care of Lauren. Brand new everything". Isabeau said.

"But this is my compound. My building! The Morrigan snapped.

"Not anymore. This is Lauren's building and she will stay here as long as it takes to get her house with a lab included built". Isabeau said.

"And where am I supposed to sleep? The Morrigan asked.

"Six feet underground if you keep trying my patience. Do not make up another contract like the one I just burned either". Isabeau snapped.

"The Elders won't allow a human to live on Dark Fae territory". The Morrigan snapped.

"I don't give a damn besides once you leave, you will never set foot into this building again". Isabeau said touching the wall as it lit up. The light went around the room in a line and stopped back at her hand.

"You are making a big mistake". The Morrigan said.

"Get out. Now. If I tell you again, Vex here will be carrying you out". Isabeau said.

"I don't think she's playing love". Vex said.

"Idiots. I'm not a buffoon. I won't be giving up my building. I stole it fair and square". The Morrigan said.

"It's already done. Bye". Isabeau said pushing the Morrigan out of the window.

"Isabeau! I asked you not to kill her! Lauren screamed.

"She's not dead my sweet. Are you Evony? The Succubus laughed looking out the window.

"You will pay for this bitch! The Morrigan said holding her bleeding jaw.

"Vex". Isabeau said.

"I'm going. I'm going". Vex said turning to run.

"Come here". Isabeau said.

"What? What do you want from me? I never harmed the Doctor, although I did insult her about not being able to keep up with you like Dyson does". Vex rambled off. He was trying to think of anything else he could confess to.

"Come here Vex. I won't ask you again". Isabeau said waving him over to the window.

Vex walked over slowly to the Succubus. He knew everything she was doing was for the Doctor and he wanted no part of it. They were Fae but didn't have self healing powers. Lauren was the only good Doctor that they knew. The only good Doctor that worked on humans and Fae. After what she did to Taft. They all but tiptoed around her. Especially when she was in her lab.

"Fix this window". Isabeau said.

"What? Sorry love, I don't do windows". Vex said.

"You will, or I will do so much worse to you, than I did to the Morrigan". Isabeau said and pointed to Evony who was finally back on her feet.

"I don't do windows! Vex said again.

"You're the help. You will fix this window or fly out another window and I will throw you out, by your balls". Isabeau said.

Vex groaned and lifted his arms. He watched as the pieces were lifted off of the ground and placed the window back together.

"That will do for the night. Now get out". Isabeau said. They all jumped when they heard the Morrigan scream from the doorway.

"What the hell is going on? Vex asked.

"That would be the Morrigan. I warded the building. If anyone besides Lauren or myself touch it without our permission, it will melt their hands. Evony must have one hell of a scar from the scream". Isabeau laughed.

"Shit". Vex said.

Lauren and Vex looked on in amazement as Isabeau walked over and sealed the window that still had cracks in it.

"But...but I live here too. I do business here". Vex said.

"Not anymore. Bo may have trusted you in her house with Lauren, but I don't. Now get out and do your business elsewhere. But tell your friends, if you have any, that Lauren is highly off limits. Any Fae besides yours truly that tries to harm her will die instantly. If you so much as touch her, you're dead". Isabeau said.

"Wait. What? When? Lauren asked. She did feel their kiss was a bit different, but she didn't expect a spell.

"My Chi my love. It will always protect you from harm from now on. You needn't fear the Fae or even humans anymore". Isabeau smiled warmly.

"Isabeau that was unnecessary". Lauren said softly.

"You going into Dyson's memories was unnecessary! Isabeau snapped. She wasn't angry at Lauren. She was angry at Bo. Bo just allowed too much bullshit. Then tried to spin it around as all Lauren's fault.

"But what about Kenzi and Dyson? Lauren asked.

"I will go and take care of them. Do you have food, wine and beer here? Or do we need to go shopping? Isabeau asked.

"No the fridge is fully stocked and so is the wine". Lauren said pointing towards the wine racks. That's one thing Evony was good at. Keeping the liquor stocked. One Dark Belch was like drinking a six pack.

"You will be fine here Lauren. I promise. Anything you need. You just ask". Isabeau smiled.

"I'm fine. I'm fine for now". Lauren said.

Isabeau had walked over to Evony's closet and found some brand new sheets. She had Vex walk them to a bedroom that had never been used.

"Fix this bed up". Isabeau told him.

"Hey now I fixed the window. I really don't make beds. Not even me own". Vex said.

"Fix this bed". Isabeau said again.

Vex was insulted now. He walked by Lauren and had barely grazed her before he screamed in horror.

"Mother. Father. It burns". He screamed as his shirt sleeve caught on fire.

"I told you she is protected". Isabeau said.

"Screw this. I'm outta here". Vex said after he made the bed in rapid speed.

"Tell anyone of anything that I have told you besides Lauren being off limits, and I will drain you from wherever you are! Isabeau screamed after the Mesmer.

"I want no part of you people! Vex screamed back.

"Isabeau". Lauren said taking a seat in the nearest chair.

"Sorry Lauren. I had to do it. Once I got Evony to free you, you would be a target. Especially in the Fae world". Isabeau said.

"What am I? Some kind of freak now? Lauren asked.

"Not at all love. I only warded you in case someone tries to harm you. The Fae can always thrall a human to hurt you. I had to protect you from them too". Isabeau said.

"But Kenzi...

"I know I'm going to deal with that right now". Isabeau said softly.

"Nobody will come here Lauren. You're safe. You are however free to go wherever you wish and you will still be protected. If you need to treat someone it will be fine because you can touch them. They can't touch you without your permission of course Doctor. Here are keys to every car outside. Use them at your leisure". Isabeau said opening a nearby cabinet.

"What about you? Lauren asked.

"I will never touch you Lauren. Not unless I am helping you get up, lay down or sit down. Not unless you ask me to touch you". Isabeau explained.

"Ok". Lauren said softly. This was a lot to take in. Had Bo known that she could ward Lauren? She couldn't debate it much, because Bo had never given her chi before, she had only taken it to save Dyson. Isabeau however was quite aware of her powers and if Bo didn't know, she knew.

"I do need to go. But I will check on you later. Ok? Isabeau asked hopefully.

"Ok. I will walk through the building and see what I need if anything.

"You won't have to be here for long Lauren. I am sure there are some brand new houses that haven't been completed yet or we can shop on the internet for one. That's if you don't want one built from the ground up. Or I can set you up in a hotel. I just thought you wanted to stay here for the moment because of your love of the labs". Isabeau said.

"Here is fine. I just...I never thought...

"You never thought you would be free. I get it. But you are Lauren. I know the warding was out of line. I can always remove it if you want. I just did it because there is a lot I need to do and I want you protected while I do so. I wouldn't trust your safety to anyone else. They really can't come in here. I didn't claim you, I just put 24 hour protection around you". Isabeau explained. She knew from Lauren's talk with Bo that she never wanted to be owned.

"I get it". Lauren said.

"Ok. I just wanted to make sure that you understood". Isabeau smiled.

"I do. You can go. I will be ok". Lauren said softly. She could always tell when the Succubus was ready to go and kick ass.

Lauren watched as the Succubus smiled softly and walked out the door. She knew it worked and that the place was now empty because they had seen the guards running after Vex who was waving them behind him.

She could now work on whatever she wanted to work on without having to worry about Fae rules and laws. She knew the Elders and Evony would still be pissed but for the moment. She didn't care. She was finally free. Literally free to go and come as she pleased.

Una Mens lair.

"Where is Bo? Kenzi whispered to Dyson.

"I don't know. I thought she would be here by now. Maybe they are having a hard time getting her to wake up". Dyson said looking down at the Red String of Fate.

"Bo is with Lauren. They are bound to figure it out. They saved you before, they will save you again". Kenzi whispered.

The Una Mens had been checking the time and waiting for the Succubus to show up for hours. Kenzi didn't like the Keeper at all. That bitch was cruel and ugly as hell.

"Time has run out. Remove the human first. The wolf can watch as we execute her". The Keeper said.

Dyson and Kenzi gasped when they saw Bo come out of nowhere , with her back to them, and immediately started draining the Una Mens.

"Bo? Where the hell have you been? Kenzi asked. She gasped as the Keeper was the last to fall dead to the ground.

The Succubus laughed and slowly turned around. "I only killed them for Lauren. I have no interests in saving either of you two jackasses".

"Oh balls. It is her Succubus". Kenzi said.

"Don't sweat it Kenzi. She saved us before remember? Dyson said as he stepped towards the exit.

"My my what do we have here!? The goth and the wolf. Silly Bo. Girl has a Succubus like me inside of her and didn't see the auras of attraction swirling around the two of you. Although the human did confess, Dyson hid it like the bitch he's always been". Isabeau laughed.

"You told Bo about that? Dyson whispered.

"Ahh I can hear you and yes she did. The same day you called when we were at Lauren's and the Valkyrie had gone missing. I didn't understand the emergency about that, but whatever". Isabeau explained.

"Kenzi". Dyson groaned.

"It is ok. Bo forgave me". Kenzi sighed.

"True but you wolf. Well you are just a walking penis ride to Bo". Isabeau laughed.

"Are you going to get us out of here? Kenzi asked.

"I wish I could kill you. Like the way you left Lauren out there in peril. But since she believes in saving lives, I won't kill you". Isabeau answered.

"But you killed the Una Mens". Dyson snapped.

"They threatened Lauren. Bo may have been content to live with that threat, but I never forgot". Isabeau said.

"But she couldn't stop them before. She tried. She even had to heal from it". Kenzi explained.

"Bo's afraid of me. She's afraid of using my full power. I have no reservations about anything that I can do. Which is why I'm out of here. I have other matters to attend to". Isabeau said turning to leave.

"Can you at least unlock the door. Then Dyson can push the door open the rest of the way". Kenzi pleaded.

"Girl you could have been out of there hours ago. All the wolf had to do was shift and break the cage. Maybe it's your constant arousal for him that made him stay put". Isabeau laughed.

"You...you could have gotten us out of here? Kenzi gasped.

"Kenzi let me explain". Dyson said.

"Shit. Now I know I have to get out of here. I hear a tired ass lie coming". Isabeau laughed as she walked out.

She laughed again hearing them argue back and forth. Climbing into her car, she smiled. "And now for the Blood King".
