Chapter 5 - All Kinds of Déjà Vu
10:00 am - Police Station
" Where is Dyson?" Bo asked Tamsin when she stormed into the police station.
" Morning to you too, sweetheart." Tamsin smirked.
" Where's Dyson?" Bo asked again.
" He's not here."
" I called him but he didn't pick up. I went to his apartment, no one was there either."
" He took a few days off. Probably out of town."
" Where did he go?"
" Well, a wolf got to howl to the moon with his furry buddies once in a while."
" Shit!" Bo put her hands on the desk to support herself. Frustration filled her face.
Tamsin studied the look on Bo's face. " You didn't drunk fuck Dyson and come here to talk to him, did you?"
Bo rolled her eyes. " Wow, your imagination is both appropriate and accurate!" She let out a deep breath and said, " Kenzi is missing."
" Again?" Tamsin frowned.
" Yes! Again!" Bo sighed.
" I'm sure she's probably with some dude she met in the Dal or something."
" I thought of that, two nights ago. She's not picking up her phone either." Bo said, " At least trace her phone for me?"
" Alright, alright." Tamsin sighed.
11:00 am - Police Station
" Well, good news is, I traced her phone. Bad news is, it's in middle of nowhere in the mountain area."
" Give me the address and I'll start from there." Bo said.
" You are going there alone?"
" Do I have a choice?" Bo stared at the blonde.
" Well." Tamsin stood up and put on her jacket. She leaned over and whispered to Bo, " You are looking at her right."
" Ok then." Bo turned her head around and opened her eyes wide.
" Come on, succulet. This is the part where we go out and start looking for Kenzi."
In The Mean Time - Somewhere
Kenzi woke up. She found herself on a bed in some room. Not her own bed, not her bedroom.
" Oh this can't be happening again!" Kenzi banged her head to the wall after she realized where she was, " Did I drunk fuck some dude?"
Then she realized something. Her hands and feet are tied up. She was having a headache, as if it was a hangover.
" What happened?" Kenzi asked herself. For a while she couldn't figure it out, but eventually her memories were coming back to her.
She met a guy in the Dal, and they had a lot of drinks. Then everything just went blank.
Kenzi moved to the side of the bed, trying to find something to cut the rope, but she couldn't keep balance and she fell off the bed.
" Ouch!" Kenzi moaned. Just when she was trying to stand up, the door opened.
A man walked in. Kenzi recognized him. It was the same guy who she had drinks with.
" You!" Kenzi stared at him.
The man didn't say anything. He waved his hand to the hallway. Seconds later, a big guy walked in. He was about seven feet tall, and he was strong too. He looked a little bit clumsy. He was staring at Kenzi.
" All yours." The man walked out and closed the door.
The big guy walked to Kenzi. He picked up Kenzi and put her on the bed. Kenzi struggled but with her hands and feet tied she couldn't do anything but scream.
12:40 pm - Woods in Mountain Area
" This is just all kinds of Déjà vu." Bo said while they were walking in the woods. " Me following you, looking for Kenzi in the woods, the bumpy ground..."
" I'm starting to want a human pet too. At least the work out is fun." Tamsin said.
" Yeah, well, go get yourself one then." Bo stopped behind her, gasping for air with her waist bent and her hands on her knees.
Tamsin turned around and looked at her. She frowned and said," You better not be starving again, bitch!"
" No, I'm alright, let's keep moving." Bo had finally caught her breath. She walked faster so she could keep up with Tamsin.
" Well, the location should be around here somewhere..." Tamsin said.
Bo started to dial Kenzi's phone. The signal was very weak but she could still make the call. Then both of them heard the ring tone coming from somewhere close.
They found Kenzi's phone dumped beside a tree.
" Ah, shit!" Tamsin cursed, " Looks like your pet dropped her phone."
" So what do we do now?"
" I'll see if I can track her, and you are going to follow me."
In The Mean Time - Somewhere
Kenzi lied on the bed for almost an hour now. She was staring at the big guy. The big guy was staring at her too.
" What do you want from me?" Kenzi asked. She didn't know if she should freak out. She thought he was going to attack her or something, but the only thing he did was picking her up and putting her on the bed.
" ...Zick..." The big guy pointed at his chest and said. This was the first time Kenzi heard him talk. It sounded like either he had not been talking very often, or he just couldn't speak fluently.
" Ok, ok, exchanging name, always a good sign." Kenzi murmured to herself. She let out a deep breath. " Let them know your name, so they view you as a real person..."
" Kenzi. My name is Kenzi." Kenzi said to Zick.
" Ken...zi..." Zick repeated after her. He stood up, and almost hit the ceiling fan. Kenzi stiffened and squeezed to the corner of the bed.
But Zick didn't do anything. He stared at Kenzi for a while, with his head titled, as if he was trying to figure out what to do. Then he scratched his head and opened the drawer of the desk beside the bed.
Kenzi saw him taking something out in his palm. Zick turned back to her and opened his palm.
Kenzi closed her eyes and turned her head around. " Please don't be anything freaky, please don't be anything freaky..." She whispered to herself.
Finally she opened her eyes. To her surprise, it was not anything freaky. It was a dried daisy.
3:00 pm - Woods in Mountain Area
" Why the hell did she come to a place like this?" Tamsin asked. She followed the trail she thought it might be left by Kenzi.
" I have no idea."
" This better not be another kitsune bitch."
" I don't think so. Dyson killed Inari, and I'm pretty sure last time I saw her, she was still Kenzi."
" Do you have any idea why she was here, or who she has been seeing lately?"
" I have no idea who she-" Bo tripped before she could finish her sentence. Tamsin turned around and caught her just before she hit the ground.
" Oh look, me saving your cute little ass again." Tamsin said. She had her hands on Bo's waist supporting her.
Bo laid her forehead against Tamsin's chest, gasping for air. She was too exhausted to move.
Tamsin pulled back a little, looking at her. " This may sound very cliché. When was the last time you fed?"
" I don't want to talk about it."
" Seriously, when was the last time you fed?"
" Do you have to ask? It was the night with you, ok!" Bo said, without looking at Tamsin.
" That was over a week ago..." Tamsin said. She sounded a little surprised. " Why didn't you feed?"
" I was busy..." Bo said. Busy flirting with you. She added in her heart.
" Ok, why don't we just get this over with." Tamsin said. She pressed her lips on Bo's lightly without saying another word.
Bo couldn't control herself but sucking Chi out from Tamsin without parting their lips. She enjoyed the kiss as much as she enjoyed the feeding. She had to force herself to pull away, so she wouldn't hurt the Valkyrie by drawing too much Chi out from her.
" Better?" Tamsin smirked, with her hands staying on Bo's waist.
" Let's keep moving." Bo stepped back from the Valkyrie. She didn't want to lose control over herself, but being this close to her one second longer, she knew she would.
In The Mean Time - Somewhere
" And...so...the little girl...wanted a...blue rose...She troveled..."
" You mean traveled..."
" She traveled... in the gust...and landed in front of a...ca- ca-"
" Castle?"
" ...in front of a castle..."
" Look, dude." Kenzi sat up in the bed and said, " I mean, Zick. It's very thoughtful of you to give me a flower, and a pebble, and yewww I really don't want to know what this thing is... and read bedtime story to me...but I'm not seven anymore, and it isn't right to chain a girl before gifts. Not that I think it's right to do that afterwards..."
Kenzi didn't know what she should think right now. She knew she was trapped in this God-knows-where place with this weird big guy named Zick, which is freaky. However, she was less afraid now, more like bored. For hours, Zick was reading her some weird bedtime stories from a children's book, and he could barely read.
" Kenzi don't like blue rose?" Zick asked her, with a confused look on his face.
" Dude! That's totally not the point!" Kenzi growled.
Zick looked at her confused. He turned a few pages and showed it to Kenzi. It was the last page of the story. The girl finally found the blue rose. It was a flower which could bring happiness.
" Blue rose...happiness..." Zick said.
" You know what happiness is?" Kenzi suddenly had an idea. She sat on her knees and said, " It's when you are with friends..."
" F-friends..." Zick repeated after her, with a confused look on his face. Kenzi realized that he didn't know what it meant.
" It means two people are happy together, but don't fuck each other. Wait, I probably shouldn't use the f word in front of you... anyway..."
" Happy..." Zick repeated the word. " Zick...Kenzi...friends..."
Kenzi sighed. " I'll be damned." She whispered to herself.
7:00 pm - Woods in Mountain Area
" Are you sure we are heading to the right direction?" Bo asked.
" Well, there is only one trail started from her last known location, so yeah, I'm pretty sure."
" But we've been walking for hours already."
" Sometimes you track people for days, even months." Tamsin said.
" I think I'm gonna need some rest." Bo sat down on a rock beside a tree.
" Yeah we both do. It's too dark to track anyone already. We need to camp here overnight." Tamsin looked around. She located a place where she could light a fire safely, and started a fire.
Bo sat beside Tamsin, and looking at the flames. She felt exhausted, worried and irritated. The cold late fall night had made it worse.
" Hope Kenzi is ok..." Bo murmured.
" She'll be fine. You'll get her in time." Tamsin said. She took out a flask from her pocket and drank from it. Then she noticed Bo was staring at her.
" Fine. You can have some too." Tamsin rolled her eyes and handed to Bo.
Bo grabbed the flask and took a swig. The alcohol burnt through her like fire. She took another swig.
" Wow, slow down! I don't want to drag your drunk ass around in the woods." Tamsin grabbed the flask from Bo's hand.
Bo didn't say anything else. She moved herself closer to the blonde and the fire. Tamsin noticed that. She looked at Bo and said, " You really should keep yourself fully charged. Why didn't you feed?"
Bo looked at the blonde. She almost told her that she was just too hooked up on her, but she swallowed it back. " It's just..." Bo suddenly didn't know what to say.
Seeing that the valkyrie was waiting on her to finish, she smiled and said, " Nothing. Never mind." She turned her head back to stare at the fire.
Tamsin looked at the succubus. She frowned. The look in Bo's eyes had ached her heart somehow.
Tamsin took a sip from the flask and leaned over to lay her lips on Bo's.
Bo almost instantly kissed her back when their lips met, but she pulled herself back after a few seconds, so she would appear less desperate.
" Tamsin, don't do this to me, not right now..." Bo murmured. She thought it was another teasing moments the valkyrie enjoyed. She thought the blonde would pull away and give her the signature smirk of victory. However, Tamsin didn't. Instead of pulling away, she inched forward and kissed Bo again.
As the night wind got colder, their kiss got hotter. Bo couldn't remembered how she got on Tamsin's lap and had legs around the blonde's waist. She just went along with the kiss and fed off the valkyrie. Strangely, it was not her hunger that pushed her for more. It was something else, something Bo tried hard not to think about.
" Here's the deal..." Tamsin finally had said something, when Bo moved the kisses down to her neck.
" Deal..." Bo said as she licked her collar bone playfully. She didn't even hear what the deal was.
" Just tonight..." Tamsin tried to finish her sentence, but she had a hard time to choose between moaning and speaking.
" Ok..." Bo didn't even know what she was agreeing on. She unbuttoned the blonde's shirt and lowered her head so she could move further down.
" No begging... for more..."
" Ok..." Bo unbuttoned the valkyrie's pants so she could tuck her hand in.
The valkyrie moaned. Bo kissed her. Both of them were just drowned in each other's warmth.
8:40 pm - Woods in Mountain Area
" Damn it Bo! I said no begging for more..." Tamsin raised herself on her elbows to shoot a stare at the brunette, who started kissing her all over again.
" I'm not begging..." Bo chuckled and slowly ran her fingers on the side of the blonde's waist.
The valkyrie shivered and closed her eyes. She lied down on her back again and stopped complaining when the succubus had her hands running up her thigh.
9:55 pm - Woods in Mountain Area
Fuck! I did it again! Tamsin thought. She stared at the velvet sky frustrated. She had her hand covering her face. Then she closed her eyes.
The brunette moved and laid a light kiss on her cheek. " ...Night..." Bo said right before she fell asleep. She buried herself close to the valkyrie, under her jacket.
Tamsin sighed. She was already freaked out by what had just happened, not to mention the semi-cuddling thing they were doing right now. She was sitting on the ground, leaning against a tree. Bo was sitting on her lap. Bo had her arms around her waist and her head rested on her chest.
Fuck me! Tamsin cursed.
8:30 am - Woods in Mountain Area
When Bo woke up, Tamsin had already put her hair back to a messy bun. she was squatting on her heels, trying to put out the fire.
" Emmm...morning..." Bo said. She didn't know if she should make eye contact with the valkyrie. Things happened last felt like a dream, amazing, but almost too good to be true.
" We need to get going." Tamsin stood up and said. She wasn't looking at Bo either.
Great. She's pulling away again. Bo sighed. She knew better than to bring up anything related to last night, so she just stood up and followed the valkyrie.
10:40 am - Woods in Mountain Area
After couple hours of walking, Bo and Tamsin had finally seen something in the woods that was not a tree. They saw a house, in the middle of the woods. It looked small, and old, but well-kept.
" Looks like we are not alone." Tamsin said, " Well, the trails end here."
" Then I guess we'll go knock on the door."
Bo walked to the house and knocked on the door. Tamsin followed her.
A few minutes later, the door opened. A man stood behind the door, with a cautious look on his face.
" Whatever you are selling, we are not buying." He said. Then he tried to close the door.
" Uh uh, not so fast." Tamsin stuck her foot out between the door and the frame.
" Look, we are not selling anything, we are just looking for our friend..." Bo said. Then she heard Tamsin clearing her throat. Bo rolled her eyes at her and said, " Fine, we are looking for my friend..."
" Haven't seen her, bye." The man tried to close the door again.
" How do you even know it's a her?" Tamsin frowned.
The man panicked. He suddenly turned around and started to run. Tamsin tackled him and knocked him unconscious. " They just never learn." She said.
" Kenzi! Kenzi!" Bo yelled while she was walking around in the house. Tamsin dragged the guy into the bathroom and cuffed him to the pipe.
Bo searched for every room, then she walked down to the basement with Tamsin.
No one was in the basement, but clearly there was someone living in there. There was bed, chairs, table and other furniture. The bed was still messy. There were some ropes scattered on the bed.
" Bed time stories?" Bo picked up a book next to the pillow and turned a few pages. It was about a girl looking for a blue rose.
" Then where is the kid? " Tamsin frowned. Then she noticed the window to the outside was not locked, but just closed. She opened it. " Someone crawled out from there..."
" Hey, look at this." Bo picked something up under the pillow, " It's Kenzi's earring."
" Then she has definitely been here. Maybe she escaped."
11:00 am - Back Side of the House
Bo and Tamsin came to the back side of the house and followed the trail from the basement window.
" This is weird. There are two set of foot prints. Both of them are too large to be children's." Tamsin said, " If there was a kid in the basement, where did the kid go?"
" Maybe one of them is carrying the kid on his back or something. Let's just keep moving." Bo said.
1:20 pm - The Other Side of the Mountain Area
" Now it's even weirder." Tamsin said, " One set of foot prints disappeared. The smaller set."
" Well what does that mean?" Bo asked.
" Unless your goth friend suddenly grow to seven feet tall, I'd say the remaining set belongs to someone else." Tamsin said, " The smaller set didn't go anywhere, it just disappeared... Hmmm...interesting...the remaining foot prints were deeper than the previous ones..."
" Meaning...?"
" My best guess? This person is carrying the other person, either in a bag, or on his back."
2:15 pm - The Other Side of the Mountain Area
Running after the foot prints trails, Bo and Tamsin had finally seen someone walking in front of them. It looked like a big guy. He's carrying someone on his back.
" Shit! That's Kenzi!" Bo speeded up and drew her dagger out in her hand.
" Wait...fuck!" Tamsin had to run after her. She pulled her gun out. " Freeze! Put that girl down!"
Kenzi heard them. She turned around and looked at Bo and Tamsin. " Don't shoot! Don't shoot him!" She yelled.
Bo and Tamsin looked at each other confused.
Kenzi said something to the big guy. He stopped and put Kenzi down. He stood beside Kenzi, like a bear protecting his toy.
" Kenzi!" Bo ran to the Russian girl and hugged her, " Thank God you are ok! What happened?"
" Emmm...long story..." Kenzi said.
6:30 pm - Outside the Woods
Kenzi was telling Bo and Tamsin what happened while they were sitting on the police car back to the precinct.
" Wait a minute, this Zick guy wants you to be his wife?" Bo asked.
" Well, technically, no. It was his father who kidnapped me, and forced me to be his wife. Zick... I'm not sure if he knows what wife means."
" How's the big wedding night then?" Tamsin asked.
" I was tied up. Heard a earful of story about a blue rose. There's even wedding gifts from him..."
" Oh, sweet." Tamsin smirked.
" How did you get out?" Bo asked.
" I persuaded Zick that we were friends, and we should go out and play. He opened the window and took me out. Although, I'm not sure where he was going to take me..."
" Well, I'm glad you are ok." Bo hugged Kenzi.
8:00 pm - Police Station
" Well, we arrested the creepy dad for kidnapping and bunch of other stuff." Tamsin said.
" Then what about Zick?" Bo looked at the big guy sitting inside one of the empty interrogation room. It seemed that he didn't really know what was going on. He was just drawing something by himself.
" Him? People from a facility specifically dealing with this type of situation will come over later and pick him up." Tamsin said. She noticed the worrisome look on Bo's face, and added, " He'll be in good hands."
" What exactly is this kidnapping wife thing?"
" He is a Zmeu. They always make wives by kidnapping some young, hot girls. Sort of family tradition I guess."
They stood there for a while, watching Zick. Then Kenzi came out from another room. Zick saw her. He hesitated but he stood up after a few minutes. He scratched his head. Then he walked to Kenzi and gave her the drawing he just drew.
Kenzi took it, and then she came to Bo. Zick followed her.
Bo looked at the drawing. She realized that it was Zick and Kenzi, and they were surrounded by blue roses.
" Friends..." Zick pointed at the drawing. He then pointed at himself, with his other hand pointing at Kenzi.
" Wow, I'm about to cry." Tamsin smirked. She turned to Bo and said, " I got tons of paperwork to fill out, so, why don't you see yourself out."
" Yeah." Bo nodded. She didn't know what else to say. She watched the blonde walk back to her desk. The blonde didn't look at her again.
A while later, people from the facility which Tamsin mentioned before came and took Zick away. Zick waved to Kenzi when he walked out with them. Kenzi waved back to him. She had tears in her eyes.
" Can I keep this drawing?" Kenzi asked.
" Of course you can." Bo smiled to her.
Bo looked at the blonde. The blonde was looking at her too. Bo wanted to smiled to her, but she ended up nodding. Then she left.
