Chapter 14 - Yes or No? Part II
7:30 am - In the House
Tamsin opened her eyes. She immediately thought about what happened last night. At first she thought it was a dream, but then she met the warm, brown eyes of the brunette. Bo was staring at her, smiling. Seeing Tamsin wake up, Bo leaned over and kissed the Valkyrie on her lips.
A warm feeling filled Tamsin's heart, although she didn't want to admit it, it felt good to have Bo waking up beside her and giving her a morning kiss.
Knowing that she shouldn't dwell in this soft moment because she had a case to solve, Tamsin got off the bed and went to take a shower. Bo followed her and ended up taking a shower with her.
" Hey, we are taking shower right now. We are not-" Tamsin didn't get to finish her sentence because Bo slid her hand in between her legs. She had to bite her lips and press her back against the wall.
" Well, we have some time, detective..." Bo kneeled down.
" Shit!" Was the last thing Tamsin could say.
8:10 am - In the House
" Stop staring at me like that." Tamsin said as she looked at the succubus sitting next to her. Bo had this gin on her face ever since they got up in the morning, with a hint of smile on her face.
" Ok." Bo moved closer to Tamsin. She grabbed a case file folder and started to read, as Tamsin was doing right now. She held Tamsin's left hand in hers, caressing her fingers while reading.
" You don't have to hold my hand every time you sit next to me, succubus." Tamsin was a little bit scared by the intimacy they were having right now.
" But I want to." Bo raised her hand to her lips, and laid a kiss on it.
" We do have a case here. So, focus." Tamsin shot a stare at Bo.
" Breakfast first?" Bo asked.
Tamsin rolled her eyes. She leaned over and lightly pressed her lips on Bo's. " There, you happy?" She pulled away after a few seconds.
Bo knew if she continued to tease the blonde, eventually she was going to get scared away, so she decided to stop, but she didn't let go of Tamsin's hand.
" So, if it's not vampires, what could it be?" Bo asked.
" No idea. There are a ton of different blood suckers. We need to figure out the feeding signature to identify the killer." Tamsin said. She picked up her phone and checked her messages. " Just got a text from the station. They've confirmed the saliva they found on the bite marks does not match vampire DNA."
" They didn't check for that first?"
" I'd say probably the fang marks were so obvious, and the fact that the victims all died from massive blood loss, they made assumptions." Tamsin sighed, " And now we are back to square one."
12:10 pm - In the House
Bo and Tamsin spent the whole morning reading through the files again. Tamsin decided to lie down on Bo's lap.
" Ok, I have to get you permission to have a snack, but you just get to lie down whenever you want to?" Bo stared at the blonde.
" Well, you never told me no." Tamsin smirked.
Bo sighed. She pulled herself back to the files, with the blonde's hand in hers. Bo enjoyed the moment when they were this close, and the blonde was not pulling away.
Bo turned a few pages. It was the second time she was reading through the witness's statements. Suddenly she noticed something.
" I remembered that you told me the second and third victims had a dog, but the dog ran away months ago?"
" Yeah. Why?"
" Here ...one of the eye witness said on the night the victims were killed, he saw their dog wandering at the door."
" It can't be." Tamsin said. She raised herself up and read it herself. " This isn't right. Their dog was a big one, but according to the eye witness's description, it was no bigger than two feet."
" Maybe it wasn't their dog...maybe whatever that thing is, it's related to the killer?"
" You know what, that actually reminds me of something..." Tamsin sat up, taking the file pages out and showing them to Bo, " All three houses have pet doors installed, maybe that's how the killer got in."
" How could someone get in through the pet door? You are not seriously thinking about Chucky, are you?"
Tamsin didn't say anything. She just sat there, going through the files, frowning. " According to the witness, he also saw a dog with red eyes. He thought it was a reflection... Wait a minute... red eyes...blood sucker...could go through the pet door... I think I know what it is now."
" Ok...?"
" It's got to be a Chupacabra."
" What the hell is...that thing?"
" A blood sucking creature, the size of a small dog, fast and vicious. That's probably what the eye witness saw. It was dark and he was looking through his window, he probably thought it was a dog. It totally fits the profile, although... I don't know about the fang marks. Chupacabras normally don't leave two significant fang marks on their victims like this. Their teeth are different from vampires'."
" Maybe the killer deliberately did that, just to mislead us or something." Bo said.
" We'll find out tonight." Tamsin said.
" How are we going to find out?"
" I'll call in, arrange something so all the residents here seal their pet doors for tonight, only leave one of them open. And we'll be in that house. Chupacabras are creatures of habit, once they find a feeding ground, they stay there till every prey is dead. Either tonight or tomorrow night, it will show up."
" I guess I can be the bait." Bo said, " You will protect me, right?"
" Relax. You are not gonna die." Tamsin said.
" So...since we have the whole afternoon... maybe we should..." Bo topped Tamsin on the couch, tucking her hands under Tamsin's shirt.
" Hey..." Tamsin stared at her, but she didn't stop the succubus from kissing her.
1:00 pm - In the House
" What are you doing?" Tamsin raised herself up to stare into Bo's eyes.
" Well, you said you wanted more... so..." Bo's voice became muffled as she lay kisses on Tamsin's breasts. Then she moved her kisses lower.
" I didn't...Shit!" Tamsin threw her head back frustrated.
2:00 pm - In the House
" I thought you said it was too much..." Bo was surprised to see the blonde topping her.
" Well, my turn..." Tamsin lowered her head and kissed the brunette.
5:00 pm - In the House
" We really need to get up..." Tamsin said as she put her arm around the brunette in bed.
" Five more minutes..." Bo buried herself closer to the blonde, pretending that she was asleep. She enjoyed being close to the blonde so much that she didn't want to get up.
" You said that like an hour ago!" Tamsin said.
6:00 pm - In the House
" Alright, either you get up, or I kick you off the bed." Tamsin said as she stared at Bo.
" Ok. I guess it's time for me to play the bait." Bo got up and got dressed. She watched Tamsin getting dressed, with a smile on her face.
" Stop staring." Tamsin frowned.
" Couldn't if I tried." Bo said.
8:30 pm - Bait House
" Ok. All set. This is the only house which has the pet door access right now." Tamsin said, " Hopefully the creature will come over tonight. If not, we'll have to stay here tomorrow."
" Well, I hope it never comes." Bo said.
Tamsin frowned, staring at Bo. Bo smiled and said, " That way we can stay here together every night, right?"
Tamsin turned her head away, because she didn't want the succubus to see her blush. The thought of being with the brunette every night warmed her.
10:30 pm - Bait House
" Maybe that thing won't come over tonight." Bo said. She was lying on the bed beside Tamsin. They were both fully dressed, just in case the monster showed up.
" Shhhh... I think I heard something." Tamsin said. She cocked her gun slowly. Both Bo and she raised themselves up from the bed, looking at the living room through the bedroom door.
They saw a shadowy, small animal like thing, with glittering red eyes. Its eyes were like tiny lamps in the darkness. Suddenly it moved, so fast that its eyes looked like two rays of light in the air.
Tamsin fired at the monster, but she missed. The Chupacabra jumped up and landed on top of the dresser. They finally got a good look at it. Its limbs were fury and thin, with long claws. Its teeth were as sharp as needles. It moved like an animal, but when it landed on something, it raised itself up as if it was a humanoid. Tamsin fired another shot, but right before the bullet hit it, the monster dashed to Bo like a flying bullet.
Bo didn't even have the time to react, before the Chupacabra landed on her shoulder. She felt a sharp pain on her neck. She grabbed the thing, trying to pull it off but she couldn't. Then she heard Tamsin fire a third shot.
The Chupacabra paused. Then it screamed and shivered. Bo had finally pulled it off. Green liquid came out from the bullet wound, and it was not moving anymore. Bo let out a deep breath and looked at Tamsin, who was still holding her gun up with her eyes wide open.
" Shit! I never knew a Chupacabras could move that fast!" Tamsin said. She sighed with relief and put her gun back into its holster. She walked to Bo, checking the bite wound. Then she checked the Chupacabra's body. " No wonder we mistook it for a vampire feeding. This damn thing must have grown a set of weird teeth for a Chupacabra. There are two fangs that are unusually long..." She said.
" Well, glad it's not breathing anymore." Bo said.
Tamsin grabbed Bo's waist and pulled her close. She pressed her lips on Bo's. Bo paused for a second or two, before she kissed the blonde back.
" Damn it. I meant for you to feed off me so you could stop bleeding." Tamsin said. She pushed the brunette back and stared at her, after she realized that Bo didn't draw Chi from her at all.
" Well. Consider it as the foreplay to feeding." Bo said. She kissed the blonde again.
6:00 am - Bo's Place
" Ok. You can go now." Tamsin said to Bo as she pulled over in front of Bo's place.
" What if I want to stay with you?"
" You can't. I have to go to work in two hours." Tamsin frowned.
" Well, we still have two hours...We can go upstairs..." Bo pressed her lips on the blonde's, ignoring her meaningless struggle.
" You want to tell your human pet that she didn't have nightmare that day?" Tamsin raised her eyebrows, looking at Bo.
" Good point. How about your place?"
Tamsin cursed. Then she started her truck.
A/N: I'd like to thank Javlalebb for the Chupacabra idea! I made some changes to the monster so it suits the story better.
