Lauren bit her lip and looked around. She didn't know what to do next. She could order a drink or just go home. The last thing she wanted to do was to come to the Light Fae wolf and tell him she screwed up. It would only give him more reasons to ridicule her.
"You've done enough. Go home." Kenzi said coldly from behind the blonde. Why is this idiot still here? Nobody wants her around. Other than the Light Fae dicks.
"You don't understand, Kenzi." Lauren rolled her eyes. Here comes the know-it-all with her vast knowledge of the Fae world and politics.
"Given Dyson's face and how quickly he ran out of here, I'd say you hurt Bo. Like we all expected your cold ass heart to do." Kenzi was closer, the doctor could tell.
Lauren turned around. "You don't want to try and fight me. Then again, why am I even talking to you?." The blonde left the woman speechless in her stance and walked out of the bar.
"Stay gone!." Kenzi screamed behind her.
"Kenzi, you can't ban people from my bar, especially our top Medical Examiner". Trick shook his head and wiped up spilled beer.
"She hurt Bo, you shouldn't want that in here. Bo and I will be bringing you a lot of business. Remember that old man." Kenzi eyed him. Lauren did have the right idea, they didn't need to be there. Kenzi needs to go and find Dyson or Bo. Or both. Preferably in bed making new holes in their walls. She finished her drink and set the glass on the counter. She gave Trick a peace sign and left. He shook his head that she didn't pay for her drinks and then he threw a towel he was holding.
Bo
The Succubus was primed and ready for her next kill. Then she was yanked away and her prey was no longer in her reach. "Let me go!."
"Bo. You've been played. He lied and you can't kill him. He's Dark Fae and the Dark will kill you." Dyson had a tight grip on her arms. She scratched, she kicked and she bit him. Nothing was making him loosen his grip.
Suddenly, she turned and stuck the point of her weapon against his neck. "Let me go". Brown eyes flashed blue. But it didn't work. He held on and carried her out of there.
Vex smiled from the corner. The woman is feisty. Kind of like another Succubus well known in those parts of the world. Everyone, Light and Dark, is happy that woman left long ago.
The Dal
Trick was just about to close up for the night when he heard hard boot heels coming. He turned and sighed. "What are you two doing here?."
"Bo's in trouble, Trick. She tried to kill Vex. You know he won't let this go. He will alert the Dark Elders." He still had a tight grip on Bo. His hand was warm as if it was glued to her.
"Was Vex alone when this happened?." Trick asked.
"I didn't smell anyone but him and Bo." Dyson made the woman sit on the barstool. She stared at Trick, hard. "He knew about my mother!."
"See, Trick. Still disobedient." Dyson stared at the man, awaiting instructions.
"Take her downstairs. I need time to think. The Morrigan could come storming in here at any time. I need to prepare for that." Trick walked from behind the bar and peeked out and around the doors. He didn't see anyone coming. If what Dyson said is true about Bo trying to kill Vex. The Light and Dark could start a war right now. Bloodshed. Deaths. Maimed bodies in the streets.
"Come on. You will be safe down there." Dyson yanked Bo from the barstool and nearly threw her down the steps.
"Don't do this Dyson. I have to find out what Vex knows. What Lou Ann knows before they kill her." Bo watched him chain her to a table. She wasn't used to Trick's lair. It looked dark and dusty. It didn't smell great either. She thought she was going to have to blow her nose to get rid of the smell. She inhaled again and the scent was stronger. It couldn't have been Dyson because he had already gone upstairs.
"My girlfriend, Nadia, is in a coma. I've been trying to find a cure for her for over the last five years. The Ash and every Light Fae Elder have control of me. If I so much as disobey them or try to run, they will kill her. Nothing I have done in the last few years has ever been about me, until tonight". A soft voice came from the darkened space.
"You slept with me, and you have a girlfriend!." Bo yanked at her chains. She wanted to get her hands around Lauren's neck. She felt violated.
"It was more than that. You're a Succubus. You've had a ton of lovers over the years. Not once have I thought of touching anyone like that. Not until tonight. Not until you." Lauren finally stepped out of the dark.
Bo's eyes were flashing brown and blue. But the blonde kept walking towards her. "Why are you here!?."
"You shouldn't scream. Dyson will come back or Trick." Lauren shook her head.
Bo bowed her head and took some deep breaths. Her Succubus was seconds away from taking control. After their night in bed. After Vex. After being chained like an animal. She almost wants to let her loose. She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes. "You've told me what I am, tell me what they are."
"Who?." Lauren looked around.
"Trick and Dyson, what are they to each other?." Bo asked. Lauren backed up a bit. She thinks it's still Bo. But her voice is not Bo.
"Why should I? You're a loose canon. You proved that tonight." Lauren walked to a cooler and pulled a bottle of water out. She rolled one in Bo's direction. She's not going to go near the woman in this state.
"Tell me." Bo's eyes flashed blue and her hands flashed orange. She was imagining pulsing Lauren to get the truth out of her. She almost cried at the thought. She doesn't want to do that to this woman. Oddly enough, she'd royally betrayed her and yet, she wants to protect her too. She can't understand why. Probably because her shit night has left her angry. But not just with the blonde but the others too.
"We're not going to have much time before Trick comes down here. I came to help you. I snuck in when I saw Dyson dragging you through the doors". Lauren dangled a set of keys in her hands.
Bo looked at them and at her locks. "If you don't tell me who they are, I won't need those." She raged.
Lauren half smiled and walked over to the woman. She unlocked the chains and stood back as Bo removed her handcuffs.
"Dyson is a long time friend of Trick's. Trick is more than just a bartender. There's a lot more to him. As ward of the Ash, I shouldn't even be here or telling you any of this." Lauren stared into deep blue eyes. "The Ash thinks I'm home. That's why I left my phone there. So, if he tracks it, he'll think I'm there. I can't go out the way you came in, so I have to use other means." She pointed towards the fireplace.
"You're not going to kill yourself are you Lauren? The Succubus asked. She still can't grasp why she cares so much. Why this woman's safety matters to her.
Lauren could have sworn she saw love and concern there but shook it off. "No. That's more than a fireplace. It's a secret exit. Not many know about it. So, that's something else, I shouldn't have told you".
"Why did you take these risks? The Succubus asked.
"I think you know why. Or Bo knows why". The Doctor shook her head. As brilliant as she is, this woman stumps her.
The Succubus stared at Lauren. Her aura is a box of crayon colors in confusion. This woman has just freed her from Trick's bondage. When she was chained, she wanted to kill her. Now she wasn't sure if she wants to kill her or take her in every spot of this smelly dungeon. She suddenly realized why it stinks, Lauren had changed her scent. Probably to throw the wolf off of her scent. To keep the Ash from knowing she was breaking curfew for the unaligned Succubus. She's putting her life and her girlfriend's life on the line for Bo.
"You can't go back the way you came without arousing suspicion of how you got free. So, I am really beyond my curfew and I need to get out of here. Come with me, and I will take you up and out of here." Lauren didn't wait for a response. She heard boot heels following her. They sat on the floor and Lauren pulled a latch. The next thing Bo knew, they were out. Lauren disappeared when Bo stopped to look around. She didn't need to look long and far to realize she was still near the Dal.
Now that she is out. Now that she knows the truth about Lauren. Now that she knows the woman slept with her because she wanted to and not because of the Ash. She wasn't sure about her next move. She can't go back into the Dal. She can't go back home because Kenzi would ask a thousand questions and Bo only has about four answers. She finally thought of something. She ran into the dark. Dashing in and out of back alleys. She finally arrived and knocked on the door.
"What the bloody hell are you doing here?." Vex asked. He looked at a rain soaked Bo and she didn't say anything. She lifted her hand to his chin and he found himself smiling afterwards. "I'm leaving". She spoke softly.
Bo smiled as she turned away from him and ran back to the Dal. Once again, she dashed in and out of back alleys. She shook the rain off and walked into the Dal.
Trick and Dyson gasped. "How did you get out?! They asked in unison.
Bo didn't answer she walked over and downed a few bottles of liquor before she turned back to them. She walked over and raised her hands to their chins. "I'm leaving."
She walked out to her car. Now that she doesn't need to run. She drove home pulling her hair over her shoulder. The rain had already poured down inside her car so what use would it be to raise the top now? She turned on the radio and let the song serenade her drive. She pulled up to the clubhouse and ran inside. She found Kenzi passed out and brushed a finger over her chin. She smiled and threw a blanket over the woman. Nobody she's had contact with tonight will remember her attack on Vex or her troubles with Lauren. She knew he hadn't left his hideout yet. Because her touch told her so.
Kicking her boots off, she showered and dressed again. Once she looked better than she did before she grabbed her jacket, and keys and walked outside. The rain had thankfully stopped so she threw a dry blanket in the front seat and climbed in. She turned the radio back on and raced down the street like she was racing someone.
She parked and put the hood up in case it rained again during the night. After a few tricks she was inside a nice, warm and dry building. She climbed the stairs and stopped. She smiled and pulled her jacket off. She climbed into the bed and pulled soft locks behind the woman's ear.
Lauren turned in her sleep. She smelled fresh shampoo and it wasn't hers.
"Hi". A soft voice came from her left side.
"Bo?." Lauren turned.
"I told you to go back to sleep in my bed. But this bed will do". Bo bent over and kissed the woman. Once Lauren was fully awake, Bo's clothes came off and so did every worry she had about the woman. If Lauren really has a girlfriend, her actions and tongue tell the Succubus that relationship is over. She will wake this woman and free her from her coma. But tonight she will sleep with Lauren and the Doctor is not free. She's not single either. She's taken and so is the Succubus.
Finished
