Isabeau's POV

I sighed deeply in my bed. I know this feeling, and it is something I have felt before. Jumping up and off of my bed, I stretched my arms, and legs. I turned away from the door. She is getting to me. Gently closing my bedroom door, I turned around, and walked over to an empty space on the floor. I knelt down, and started doing push-ups. I am hungry.

But this is not a chi hunger, it is a her hunger. Everything about her is delicious. Her kiss. Her eyes. Her scent. Her voice. All of it weakens me. But that is only between you, me, and her. Hell who am I kidding, everyone knows she's my weakness. How many times have we all made love, and I never once drained her. That third time I pushed chi into her. It was the only way to get her to relax, and that we weren't going to leave her in bed, alone.

And damned if Bo didn't break that promise for Trick. The fucking Blood King needed help? Write in your blood, you little bitch. He had never liked Lauren. I read it in his aura every time Lauren was near, or if anyone had mentioned her. Then Bo left her alone in the clubhouse with Vex. She was right about his balls though. Had he touched Lauren, I would have ripped them off, and shoved them into his eyes.

The thought is making these push-ups so much easier. I have already done two hundred of them since I started. Next I started doing sit-ups. Just because I am powerful, doesn't mean I need to let my body turn to shit. Besides this will come in handy when daddy shows his cowardly ass again.

This trip really isn't about him. It's like a vacation for Lauren. She can do whatever the hell she wants. Go where she wants, as long as I am allowed to go with her. I gave her my chi, and as brilliant as she is, she doesn't know all that I can do. I wouldn't trust Lauren's life and safety to a Fae fly.

Mom had already sent me a text telling me Kenzi left with Hale. Not that I care, she's Bo's friend. She's amusing to me at times. Dyson this. Dyson that. Yuck. Dog boy often forgets his mouthwash, and there is no telling where else his mouth has been. Bo likes him enough to sleep with him. Me? I hate his ass. His aura around Lauren is always on fire. The fires of rage, and jealousy. I should tell him about how my eyes have never gone dark when we slept with Lauren. That she is in fact enough for me. I just get over excited making love to her, so it's never about her stamina, or lack there of.

I stood up and started doing pull-ups on the far door. I will shower soon, but that is when I know Lauren is up, and out of bed.

Lauren's POV.

I read a few books last night, and am already wide awake in my bed. For some reason, I can feel her. Everything she's doing. I woke up doing push-ups. I smiled after the first one hundred, and stopped when I started to sweat.

Now I am laying here in bed, thinking of her. Wondering what else she is going to do. I sighed thinking what I am going to do. I could read another book. I have speed reading abilities, like I have never had before. I actually understood everything I read too.

I sighed and stretched my arms out. The room is massive. Isabeau did not lie about that. Plenty of room to walk around. To study anything that I want. The desk is better than any the Light Fae had ever supplied me with. I ran my fingers over it, and stopped when I looked out of the window. I have a gorgeous view, and it looks like it is going to be a gorgeous day too.

Pulling my robe against me tighter, I walked to my closet to pick out something to wear. Something casual because I don't know what is going to happen today.

When I said I read a few books last night, all of them were on Hades. He is an evil being, but smart. Shaking my head, I grabbed the first thing I saw, and headed to shower.

Hale and Kenzi

"For the last time, no Kenzi". Hale sighed as he took a seat.

"We don't know if she's still Isabeau. The least you could do for Bo is to send some people out to find out". Kenzi pleaded.

"Even if Bo somehow has control again, which I highly doubt, Isabeau would still be in there. Willing and able to come out whenever the hell she pleases to". Hale snapped.

He and Kenzi had been going at this for hours since Kenzi woke up. He was still hearing Aife's words. They sent chills down his spine. He could almost laugh at Dyson. That boy had it bad for Bo, and really didn't have a clue who he was really messing with.

He was glad to be far, far away from Toronto, even though he had heard Isabeau and Lauren had left too. He sighed hoping he had gotten Kenzi far, far away from the Succubus. He knew how Bo felt about Kenzi, but never sat down to see if Isabeau would gush about her too.

"Can you at least call someone? Kenzi asked as she paced back, and forth. She missed her friend. Bo promised that they were going to party after saving Dyson, and Kenzi wanted to hold her to her word.

"No our location could be compromised. You are better off here Kenz, so you might as well get used to it". Hale said quietly as he stood to go to another room.

Kenzi screamed, and the Siren was undeterred.

Aife

Aife sat pouring herself another shot of liquor. She missed her daughter, but this was about her needs, and not her mother's.

Aife was one of the few that knew what freedom, real freedom felt like. So she understood Lauren's need to leave with Isabeau. The one Fae that would protect her with her life. The other Fae would only make her life miserable.

Like Hades did to Aife for years. The Succubus clinched her teeth, and closed her eyes. She could still hear every calculated step he made towards her cage. She had gotten to the point that she could count them, and know when he was about to open the door, and rape her again.

He raped her so often that he kept her naked just for the fun of it. He knew it humiliated her, and gave no fucks about it. Out of the hundreds of Fae in the Dark Fae dungeons, he picked her.

She remembered his cold, and calculating voice when he told her why. Because he wanted Queen Isabeau, but she was already dead, and out of his reach, so he came for her daughter instead. Trick practically gift wrapped his own daughter for Hades.

Her teeth nearly shattered in anger. For the first time in her life, she was glad her mother is dead. The thought of Hades raping her over, and over, like he did Aife, angered the Succubus. His powers combined with that of a Succubus would make their child invincible.

Isabeau, Aife sighed. She wanted to be out there with her and Lauren, but this was their fight too. Besides, he could always come for Aife, but only if he knew where she was. And at the moment, nobody knew. But that didn't mean she had lost track of her daughter. She knew where they were, and anyone else that knew was currently mute. She laughed at the thought. A little deal she made with Papa Santiago. If Hale was to keep his own whereabouts a secret, Val had to take every voice that Aife ordered her to.

She pulled her burner phone out, to make a few calls.

Dyson

Dyson growled as his latest lead came up empty. Even contacts he had used in tracking Lauren after Taft's had disappeared. He was stunned at that news.

"She's gone wolf. Grow up and get over it". Val laughed as she pulled up. Dyson had spent most of the night where he currently sat, he had convinced one of the Santiago butlers to drive him there.

Now there he sat in the dirt. Trying to pick up a scent. Anything that would lead him to the Succubus.

"Get out of here Val! Dyson growled.

"Gladly. I just wanted to see a dog chasing his tail". Val laughed as she sped off, literally blowing dirt and rocks in Dyson's direction.

"Sir if you are done now, I do need to get back to the Santiago compound". The butler said.

"You can go. I will be fine". Dyson said rubbing dirt out of his his eyes, and beard.

"Very well". The butler said as he pulled off too.

Dyson was glad, he was gentle when he did. His wounds still hadn't healed yet, but his nose was still working. So that could always come in handy.

Isabeau and Lauren.

"I'm awake". Lauren said softly.

Isabeau laughed. "Ok!

The Doctor slowly walked out of her room. She smiled when she heard the shower turning on. This would give her time to whip them up something for breakfast. She was well aware that the Succubus was trying not to make a sound, that would disturb the Doctor's sleep.

Lauren did sleep wonderfully too. That mattress should be in every, deserving home. Half an hour later, they were ready to eat.

"Did you sleep well? Isabeau asked. She already knew the answer, but had grown to love Lauren's morning voice over the years. It is calming, sexy, and tasty.

"I did thank you, and you? Lauren asked. She lifted her head waiting for an answer.

"I did". Isabeau smiled into her first bite.

"I didn't know what to wear, not knowing what you had planned for the day, so I wore this". Lauren gestured towards her outfit.

"My plans depend on what you want to do. If you want to go out, we can go out. If you want to stay in, we can stay in. You look beautiful by the way". Isabeau said softly.

Lauren blushed, nodded, and took a few more bites before she spoke again. "Thank you". She smiled biting her lower lip.

Isabeau sat as quietly as Lauren. She could've said a lot more. But she could be patient for Lauren.

Lauren cleared her throat. "You look beautiful too, and I have no plans for the day. I can find something to read, or study, or on TV".

Isabeau smiled at Lauren's rambling. It was adorable.

"We can go out Lauren. I refuse to make you stay inside, like it was Lachlan's dungeon". Isabeau said with a tinge of anger. But that offending bastard got what he deserved.

Lauren wiped her mouth with a napkin, and looked around. "Do you want to talk?

Isabeau smiled. "We can do that".

Lauren nodded as they both stood to clear the small table, and clean the kitchen. Well the Succubus cleaned the kitchen since Lauren cooked their meal.

The women settled down on a lush couch.

"Ask away". Isabeau smiled. Lauren looked full of questions. It was the same look she had when Bo stripped in the lab that first day.

"So your father is Hades, and your mother is Aife? Lauren asked. More like stated for her own mind to wrap around the fact that Isabeau is an heir of a God coupled with the blood of the Blood King.

Isabeau fidgeted for a second. "I can tell you how that came to be. But I must warn you, it is not pretty".

Lauren frowned, and nodded. "You can tell me".

"Long story short, I am what humans call a rape baby. Hell the Fae probably call it that too". Isabeau said staring directly at Lauren. She expected the doctor to flinch, or run, but she didn't.

"Is this part of the reason that Bo thinks you're a monster? Lauren asked.

"We didn't know until recently. Aife had mentioned that he'd done terrible things but nothing to that extent. But to answer your question, I've had to kill a lot of people, some were not all about sex or feeding. Most of it was for personal survival". Isabeau replied.

"I am so, so sorry. I won't even pretend to know how you feel". Lauren said as she gently squeezed Isabeau's leg.

"Thank you". Isabeau whispered.

"Are you okay? You can tell me, if you don't want to talk anymore". Lauren said pushing back against the cushion.

"I'm fine. I'm more worried about you. I just basically pulled up, and took you away from the only life you've known for years". Isabeau said as she pulled back too.

"I'm good. I just have so many questions that I could spend the rest of my life asking". Lauren said.

"You can ask whatever you wish. I'm not going to get angry, or offended". Isabeau smiled.

Lauren smiled. It never seemed Bo's nature to just want to sit and talk. They'd hardly had moments like this. So it's stunning that Isabeau is so patient. Almost quiet, and shy.

"It's the company". Isabeau smiled.

"Stop that". Lauren laughed.

"I'm sorry. I don't always do that. It's actually new". Isabeau smiled again.

"Your chi? Lauren asked.

"I think so. I've given people my chi before. Just not as much as I've given you. It scared the shit out of me. You should've never gone in there Lauren. You could've died, and Bo wasn't in a hurry to get you out! Isabeau snapped.

Lauren moved further away from the Succubus. "It's my nature to want to help people. I tried to wake Bo up, but it wasn't working. So when Cassie left, I saw my chance".

"I'm sorry Lauren. I'm so, so sorry. I'm not angry at you. It's not directed at you at all. Part of the attraction is your courage, and natural instincts to help others. I didn't mean to make you feel bad. You shouldn't be feeling anything but happiness, safe, content and lov...life". Isabeau said moving closer. But not enough to invade Lauren's personal space.

"It's fine. I was just explaining why I do, what I do. I do feel that. All of that, right now". Lauren said changing her position on the couch too.

"Lets go out of here, and get some air? Isabeau asked.

Lauren nodded. The women grabbed some small jackets, and headed out.

The women chatted while taking in the sites that they passed. Both learning a little more about each other. Isabeau never knew Lauren used to hunt with her father, and Isabeau, as Bo, was once in the school band.

They found a small patio bar, and decided to have lunch. Just because Lauren had the succubus chi in her veins, it didn't stop Isabeau from worrying about Lauren's health.

The Succubus took in the patrons. Reading their auras. When one woman looked at Lauren like her next meal, the succubus growled, and the woman backed off.

"I wasn't into her". Lauren laughed.

"I don't know that woman, and I didn't like her aura". Isabeau said as they took their seats.

Lauren laughed again. The powerful succubus was jealous. It was adorable, and flattering.

"Order whatever you want. I'm just having a double cheeseburger, fries, and a beer". Isabeau said.

Lauren nodded, and looked over the menu until she decided on something.

The Succubus surveyed the crowd again. Most seemed harmless, and into each other. Worked for her.

Minutes later Lauren was in hysterics trying to eat, because Isabeau was eating very quickly.

Lauren finished her lunch, as Isabeau patiently waited. The waitress brought the ticket, and the Succubus paid their tab. This time she actually paid the full amount. Using her powers at a time like this, would cheapen their afternoon.

The weather was warm, with a nice breeze. It was so nice, they left their jackets in the car. Isabeau was happy that Lauren was enjoying herself, even if she never said the words. They returned to the house they were renting, and Lauren curled up on the couch. The Succubus found a movie on TV. She took a seat on the loveseat across from the couch. Lauren smiled as she stretched out.

"Popcorn? Isabeau suggested.

"No thanks. I'm stuffed". Lauren smiled rubbing her stomach.

Isabeau's eyes flashed blue at the sight, and shook her head.

"I'm sorry". Lauren blushed as she pushed up to a sitting position.

"Don't be". Isabeau said trying to calm herself down.

"I uh... I think I'll make that popcorn". Lauren said as she stood up, and left the room.

Lauren bounced into the kitchen, and something in her started to stir. She felt a cold chill run down her spine.

"As long as you have her chi, I will always find you..." A cold voice whispered, and laughed.

Lauren froze in place.

"I'm here Lauren, he won't get you". Isabeau said calmly. She stood in the kitchen, and used her senses to find Hades.

When her eyes flashed blue and stayed that way, she opened the back door, and looked outside.

Hades laughed louder. He had the women right where he wanted them. Unknowing, and vulnerable.

"I'll get him Lauren. Before this day is up, we'll never see, or hear from him again". Isabeau said slowly.

"He didn't come for you. He came for me". Lauren replied quietly.

"Don't you understand Lauren? You are me, the best parts". Isabeau said as they stood facing each other.

"You will die Dr. Lewis, and my Succubus will move on to her next love". Hades snickered.

"I'll never have another love Lauren. Don't listen to him". Isabeau said gently stepping towards the Doctor.

"Come to me Dr., and right now". Hades commanded.

Lauren screamed when she was no longer controlling her own movements.

Isabeau snapped, and into action. She stormed over to Lauren, and held her in place. "You'll never get Lauren. But you will get me! The Succubus snapped.

She turned her head away from Lauren, and took in some deep breaths. Finally releasing them, she blew fire out the back door, and smiled when a man surfaced.

"Stay here my sweet". Isabeau whispered as she ran out the door. Once it was closed behind her, she focused on her father.

"Very good Isabeau. You learned a new trick". Hades laughed.

"When I sent you away, you should've went home like a good boy. But since you didn't, I've got your one way ticket right here". Isabeau said as she slowly walked towards him.

Hades tried to move but couldn't. Isabeau laughed at him.

"That sucks doesn't it? You came for Lauren because she's everything that you're not. Good, and pure. She's not a coward creeping around in the shadows of the world...". Isabeau started.

"You are evil too Isabeau. Someday the Doctor will come to know that! Hades laughed.

"Silence! I didn't give you permission to talk! Isabeau screamed.

"You can't kill me, ever. I'll always be a part of you! Hades screamed back.

"And Lauren will always be a part of me. You should've learned with the Lich. Lauren in any danger spikes my anger. When she's content, it sparks my joy. This is for Lauren. My grandmother. My mother. For everyone! You will never return because thanks to you, I know how to drain someone down to particles of dust. So say goodbye to the upper world because you'll never see it again! Isabeau snapped as she grabbed the man's neck.

Her eyes turned red, black and blue as she took Hades chi and fire from him. She pulled from all four of his limbs. Stomping her foot one time, the ground opened beneath them.

Dropping his dead corpse into the ground, she lifted her head. With Lauren watching from the back window, the succubus blew red, and blue into the eye. It looked like an ocean, and fire fight.

Raising her hand, she waited. Within seconds a metal bar appeared in her hand. Taking a deep breath, she dispersed of the bar, shooting the melted metal into the mass above her.

Backing up, Isabeau waited. Once the mass had dispersed, she rubbed her hands, and stomped her foot so the ground would close up.

Taking one last look to the sky, she was satisfied that her father was truly gone now. Turning quickly, she walked back inside.

Lauren stunned at what she had just witnessed, slowly moved away from the window. She didn't know where to go, the living room seemed like the wisest choice.

She sat on the couch, and listened to Isabeau kicking her shoes off. The Succubus popped into the room, dirty and angry.

"Sick bastard". The Succubus said.

Still at a loss for words, Lauren opened her mouth, and closed it. "Are you okay?

"I'm fine, and I should be asking you that...so how are you? Isabeau asked gently moving towards the doctor.

"I'm fine but I do have a question, two actually? Lauren said. She sat almost stiff, never taking her eyes off of the brunette approaching her.

"Ask away". Isabeau said seriously. She wanted to smile. A common habit whenever she looked at the doctor.

"What happens if you remove your chi from me? Lauren stuttered over the question.

Isabeau sighed, and frowned. "Two things could happen. You won't like either one. The first is you'll likely die since humans weren't supposed to be in Dyson's memories. The second is, you'll return to his memories. And Bo kneeling at Flora's grave. If you die, I can always bring you back".

Lauren sighed gently. She expected that answer, but wanted clarification from the Succubus. The succubus chi is literally Lauren's life support. When she went into Dyson's memories she only expected to tell Bo that she'd been in there too long. She'd forgotten Bo's Succubus would be there too. It was comforting in a way, but scary at the same time. She took some deep breaths and spoke again.

"Is he really gone this time? Lauren asked.

"He's gone for good". Isabeau nodded.

Lauren nodded in response, but hesitated with her next question.

"You can ask". Isabeau said. She took a seat far from Lauren. She sensed the Doctor's distress, and wanted her comfortable enough to be able to talk to her.

"I don't doubt what you've just told me, but as a doctor...". Lauren started.

"You need to see it for yourself, I get it". Isabeau finally smiled. That was better than what she thought Lauren was about to ask.

"We need to find him then...or where he'd go after death". Lauren said.

"I'm not sure who would know. Tamsin probably, but that bitch must stay dead. Aww shit! Isabeau cringed.

"Aife! Lauren said suddenly.

"I'll call her. If anyone would know, she would". Isabeau said pulling out her phone.


"Stacey you're up. She must never come here". A woman said quietly.

"I am no match for that one". Stacey sighed.

"That is not my concern. You will stop her, now go! The woman screamed.

"Yes Freyja". Stacey sighed.

"Can't I go? Tamsin asked.

Freyja laughed. "You have failed me too many times, so the answer's no!

Tamsin stood in shock. She had never been in this position before, and she didn't like it.
