The Crack Shack

"So do you think Ferro and Tamsin are doing it or what?" Bo was pretty drunk and couldn't get the vampire and the valkyrie out of her mind.

The succubus was happy for the both of them, but a part of her was a little jealous, due to her not having any luck in her love life at the moment.

"Bo, you're drunk...just...shut up" said Kenzi as she was trying to make out with Alexis on the couch.

"No, I will not shut up!" Bo pushed them apart and sat inbetween the two of them. "Ferro hasn't changed one bit, apart from the fact that she looks more..."

"Grown up?" Alex is said sarcastically, which the succubus didn't notice.

"Yeah, she's like super hot now...and oh my gods," Bo brought her voice down to a whisper. "Her sister Felice is so fine" Bo's eyes went from blue to brown and both Kenzi and Alexis rolled their eyes and left the succubus to her thoughts while they went upstairs to Kenzi's room, or should I say their room, now that the younger nymph is back.

Back over in the kitchen both Lauren and Felice were sat on the island and drinking vodka.

Felice couldn't help but over hear the conversation the girls had on the couch.

Bo's whisper wasn't exactly a whisper, they heard everything.

Lauren noticed the hazel-eyed valkyrie was watching Bo. "Do you like Bo?" Lauren smiled at her, although deep down she was a little jealous.

"I don't do sex demons" was all Felice said, before downing the rest of her drink.

"Why not?"

"They'e not my type" the valkyrie confirmed.

"Why not?"

Felice then looked at Lauren and couldn't help but laugh. "What is this, 21 questions? I just have other preferences"

"Like what?" Lauren was really drunk and could not control herself from trying to find out what Felice's type was.

"I prefer intelligent women and Bo is not intelligent"

"I'm intelligent" Lauren said nonchalantly as she looked away from the, downing her drink.

"That you are, Doc" Felice smirked at the dark-haired blonde and knew the nymph was drunk out of her mind right now and she thought it was funny... and cute.

"Where'd everybody go?" Bo asked as she walked over to the two of them.

"Dyson and Hale left about 30 minutes ago and you bored Kenzi and Alexis to death, so they went upstairs" Lauren laughed in the succcubus' face which was not to Bo's amusement.

Looking away from Lauren, as she continued to laugh, she spoke to Felice.

"Felice, you're welcome to stay here if you like. There's plenty of room in my queen sized bed" Bo flirted as she stroked the valkyrie's leg, which to Felice's surprise the succubus didn't use her charm on her.

Thank the gods, she thought.

"Actually, I just agreed to crash at Lauren's tonight and seeing as I'm tired and she's totally wasted, I think it's best we set off now" Felice lied as she smiled towards the succbus.

"Oh, okay. Fine" said Bo as she glared at the nymph.

Lauren laughed even harder when she saw Bo look at her. "Oh Bo, poor Bo! Gods, you're so desperate!" Lauren managed to say through fits of laughter.

"Wow, yeah, we better go now" said Felice finding this moment to be very awkward and slightly amusing.

As Bo stormed off to her room, Felice held Lauren around the waist with one arm and guided the laughing nymph out of the crack shack towards her car.

Back at Lauren & Tamsin's Apartment

"Wait, what fire? I'm confused..." said Ferro.

"Ferro, the first day we met, that same night I had a dream. At the cabin that's near the school, you remember?"

"Yeah, I remember the cabin" Ferro smiled as she remembered their first kiss was also near there.

"That's where you died. I saw you die Ferro and Lilith is the reason. Gods, I can't believe I forgot to mention this to you!" The valkyrie said annoyed at herself.

Ferro took the blonde by the chin and looked into her eyes. "Tamsin, you just told me now so... I'm not gonna die. I'm not going anywhere near the cabin any time soon so relax. Everything will be fine" she leaned forward and kissed Tamsin gently on the lips.

Tamsin looked at her and signed, although she was filled with dread about what might happen to the vampire she didn't let it stop her from enjoying this moment with her.

"You haven't changed much you know," said Ferro. "These past years it's clear you've become more alert and on guard but, there's still that vulnerable teenage you in there. Valkyrie's are supposed to be tough. Hardcore" Ferro teased the blonde.

"I guess when I'm with you I feel safe, I feel like I can be myself fully around you," Tamsin smiled. "I don't like feeling vulnerable or getting attached but it's hard when you're basically bonded with someone"

Ferro took a few moments to think about what they had just spoken about.

"I was thinking that maybe we should...complete the bond" Ferro was hesitant but even though she wanted Tamsin to have the full experience of fulfilling her duties as a Valkyrie, spending those four years away from her was unbearable.

"What? " Was all Tamsin could say, she couldn't believe after all this time the vampire decided she wanted to bond now and Tamsin was speechless.

This was exactly what she wanted, but now she had doubts.

"Tamsin, even though we're not fully bonded, the years we spent apart was hard. It was like a part of me was...gone. I felt empty. I needed you. I can't bear to feel that way again. At least once it's completed we can both feel whole, we can sense each other even with the distance. We don't even have to tell anyone, I'm sure there's a way to keep it a secret for as long as we can, that way you can still work for Odin"

"Are you sure you want to go through with this?"

"Tamsin, I love you. Of course I'm sure" said Ferro.

Tamsin got out of her bed and paced back and forth in her underwear.

The valkyrie loved Ferro and she wanted to be bonded, she wanted to be with her, but she thought about what Felix told her earlier that night, about them having all the time in the world.

She knew he was right and she was ready for it, but deep down, even though Ferro loved her she knew the vampire wasn't ready and she didn't want to take advantage of this moment.

Ferro watched as the valkyrie paced around, thinking hard about what she said.

The vampire was nervous, not knowing what the best thing to do was, but she wanted to bond as soon as possible.

Ferro wasn't ready, but she loved her and knew that Tamsin wanted this.

Ferro just didn't want to lose her again.

Stopping to look at the vampire she spoke. "I believe you, but I know you aren't ready, I can sense it somehow and I don't want this to be rushed. I want this to happen because we're both ready and certain this is what we want. We have plenty of time," Tamsin smiled. "Plus, when we bond I don't want it to be a secret, I want the world to know"

Ferro stood up and walked towards the blonde. "As long as I don't lose you then that's fine by me"

"You won't lose me Ferro, I love you too much. Probably more than you love me" Tamsin chuckled.

"That's impossible" Ferro smiled at her girl.

They both leaned in towards each other and kissed.

Tamsin was so happy and she loved Ferro and she couldn't believe the vampire loved her back, she couldn't believe she found her soul mate.

*CRASH*

"What the hell was that?" Tamsin whispered, as they both jumped at the sound of something smashing on the ground.

Ferro just shrugged and went to go check it out.

As she opened the door, her and Tamsin's jaw dropped.

Looking from then broken lamp on the floor, to the coach, they saw both Lauren and Felice ripping each other's clothes off and making out with such force, fighting for dominance.

Felice could sense eyes watching her and stopped suddenly, to Lauren's annoyance.

"Felice, what the... Oh!" Lauren followed Felice's gaze, realised that she had no shirt on and quickly grabbed a cushion off the coach.

"Hey sis," Felice greeted awkwardly. "I thought you guys would be asleep..." she said more to herself.

"Hence why you decided to smash that lamp over there..." Ferro said sarcastically.

"Uh..." Lauren was so embarrassed and couldn't say a word so she quickly rushed towards her room and left Felice in the living room, stood in nothing but her underwear.

The older valkyrie took her belongings off the floor and cleared her throat. "So I'm just gonna...leave you to it. "

Leaving it at that, she left the girls in the living room and went into Lauren's room, not wanting to let that ruin her night with the shorter blonde and closed the door gently behind her.

"Wow" was all Tamsin could say.

Ferro and Tamsin looked at each other and laughed as they made their way back into the bedroom.

Opening her eyes slowly, the Tamsin looked at the time across from her, it was 10am.

As she looked to her left, dreadlocks were in her face and she smiled to herself. It was their first night sleeping in the same bed, being close, being together.

They hadn't been intimate that night, which neither of them minded anyway, Ferro would wait for as long as the valkyrie wanted.

Tamsin, was 22 and still a virgin and she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Ferro, thinking about it was quite nerve wrecking for her and she wanted her first time with the vampire to be perfect and special, just like their first kiss.

Across the room the brightness of the sun had peeked through the corner of the open window, landing on Ferro's face causing her to groan in annoyance as she slowly opened her eyes.

"Gosh, why must the sun be so bright?" Ferro murmured.

Tamsin chuckled at the vampire. "It's only a bit of sunshine. Don't be such a vamp"

"I hate the sun" said Ferro.

"Then why wear that ring so you can go out during the day?"

"Because it's a privilege to be blessed with such a gift from our grandmother, so my father says"

"You have a grandmother?" Tamsin asked.

Ferro looked over at the blonde like she was crazy and couldn't help but smile at her. "Of course I have a grandmother. Tamsin, I think you need more sleep, your mind clearly isn't functioning properly" Ferro chuckled lightly.

Tamsin rolled her eyes at the vampire. "My mind is fine, I just never pictured a vampire with a grandmother for some reason, I don't know..."

"Well, how do you think your Father was even born? He's a vampire..."

"I never met my grandma though. I just assumed she didn't exist" said Tamsin.

"You're really weird, but I still love you" Ferro sat up in the bed and leaned over to kiss the blonde's forehead.

The valkyrie smiled and moved forward to jump on top of Ferro, attacking her with kisses all over her face, but then she stopped abruptly. "Wait a minute," she paused for a moment.

"I can smell bacon!" Quickly getting out of bed, they both rushed out of the bedroom towards the kitchen.

Standing there in front of the cooker was Lauren and Felice, fully dressed this time.

Lauren was wearing a yellow sun-dress and Felice was wearing the clothes she wore last night.

The nymph was cooking the bacon while Felice had her arms wrapped around her waist whispering in Lauren's ear, which kept making her giggle.

Tamsin cleared her throat to get their attention while her and Ferro watched the two of them.

Lauren, startled by the noise, turned to look at them. "Uh, hey guys" said Lauren, sheepishly.

"Morning" said Felice as she went over to sit at the island.

"You two look cosy" Ferro smirked.

"And you two look a mess" Felice smirked back as she looked at the other valkyrie and her sister, both with messy hair, looking tired as hell.

"So, how was the after party at the crack shack" Tamsin asked, as they made their way to sit at the island.

"Well, the nymph over here," Felice nodded towards Lauren. "Was absolutely wasted, called Bo desperate and laughed right in her face before we left" Felice couldn't stop herself from laughing.

"Why?" Tamsin asked, amused at Lauren's now embarrassed and annoyed look on her face.

"She was hitting on Felice," Lauren said accusingly as the older valkyrie smiled at her. "I'm sick of Bo thinking she can get anyone she wants" Lauren exclaimed.

"Wow," said Ferro. "Poor Bo"

Tamsin smacked Ferro's arm and gave her a look. "Not poor Bo, poor Lauren"

Tamsin got up and made her way over to her best friend and hugged her while Ferro made her way over to her big sister, rubbing her arm as she furrowed her brow at the blonde.

"You deserved that" said Felice while she laughed at her younger sister.

"Whatever" Ferro muttered.

"Here, I made us all breakfast" Lauren said as she placed bacon sandwiches on the island for everyone.

"So what do you two have planned for the day?" Tamsin asked the older valkyrie and Lauren, as her and Ferro sat back down to eat.

"I need to drop by to the compound for a sec and then Felice and I are going out for the day" Lauren smiled to herself.

"Like a date?" Ferro asked.

"Just a day out" said Lauren she didn't want to rush anything, not really knowing what it was between her and the older valkyrie, just ye, but she loved her company.

"It's a date" Ferro confirmed, earning herself a smack on the back of her head this time, by the older valkyrie, causing Tamsin to chuckle.

"So, that's how it goes now? Sex before the date? Classy" Ferro smirked at the nymph who then started to blush.

This time both valkyries smacked the vampire across the head causing Ferro to scowl at them.

"What are you two doing today?" Felice asked, as she watched her little sister rub her head.

"Uh... I don't know actually. We haven't planned anything" Tamsin said, not really bothered as long as she spent the day with Ferro.

"Why not?" Lauren asked.

"Because we've been busy" said Ferro.

"Doing what?" Felice smiled.

"Hanging out" Ferro said annoyed.

"Just hanging out?" Felice asked, unconvinced.

"Yes. Just hanging out, unlike you two last night wrecking the place" Ferro said as she smirked at Lauren who started to blush, again.

"Ferro, shut up" Felice warned.

"Then stop with the 21 questions" Ferro accused.

"You two are like children" Tamsin laughed as she shook her head.

"I'm nothing like child" Felice said as she went to place her plate in the sink.

Ferro scoffed at her big sister. "Enough chatter, I'm going back to bed" said Ferro as she left the kitchen going back to Tamsin's room, suddenly feeling a little drained.

Tamsin saw the mood change in her girlfriend. "What's with her?" Tamsin asked the older valkyrie.

"I annoy her easily, it's fun" Felice replied back with a satisfied smile.

"And yet she looks up to you?" Lauren asked as she chuckled.

"Of course. I'm the best" Felice smirked.

"That, I can't disagree with" Lauren walked over to the older valkyrie and leaned in for a kiss, which then became passionate and a little over the top.

"Right, I'm just gonna..." Tamsin trailed off as she walked back to her bedroom.

As she entered her room she saw Ferro just sitting on the bed, she looked like she had something on her mind.

Tamsin moved towards her and a sudden feeling hit her, a sudden urge to eat like she was really hungry, yet she had just eaten breakfast.

"Ferro, are you okay?" Tamsin asked.

It was weird that she was feeling this, she had no reason to feel this way, but it was annoying and the feeling wouldn't go away.

"I just feel a little...irritated. I haven't fed in a while"

"I can feel your irritation..." Tamsin said as she stood there, brows furrowed in thought like she was waiting for something to happen.

"Huh?" Ferro was confused.

"I just had this urge, like a craving to feed and yet here you are...irritated and you haven't fed"

"You think it's the bond?" Ferro asked.

"Maybe, but it wouldn't make sense...it's not completed fully. "

"Yeah..." Ferro didn't know what else to say, they made a decision together to wait until they were ready to complete the bond and yet here they are feeling what the other feels.

It was messing with her head and it didn't help that she was hungry...she needed to feed badly.

The valkyrie could see that Ferro was struggling with herself, not knowing what to do.

It was ridiculous, they were together now, if she needs to feed then she can feed of her, right?

"Ferro, if you need to feed..." Tamsin started to say.

"No. I'm not feeding off of you" Ferro's eyes looked dull, no longer a vibrant golden color but now grey making their way to black.

The vampire didn't realize how much she needed to feed until now.

"You don't look so good babe, if you need to feed then feed off me. It makes sense, we're together and already bonded...partly" said Tamsin, hoping she would say yes.

The vampire hesitated. "I don't know Tamsin...when I feed it's not just a feed y'know, there's the whole sexual side of it and you're not ready and I don't wanna rush you" Ferro rambled on, not just because of that, but because she was kind of scared that if she fed off her it would complete the second stage of the bond, from what she remembered her mom telling her.

"Babe, just fucking feed, I don't care" Tamsin said sternly towards the vampire which made her chuckle.

"Fine," Ferro looked at her. "Come here" the vampired whispered as she stood up and guided Tamsin towards her.

The valkyrie had no idea what to expect, never having spent the time with her girlfriend for her to feed off her... ever.

Tamsin's heart began to race, she wasn't scared, but she was nervous.

Ferro could hear her heart beating at a faster pace while she moved the blonde's hair away from her neck and moved her head forward as Tamsin leaned her head back.

Ferro placed a gentle kiss on her skin as she closed her eyes.

The vampire then sunk her teeth into her, it was a quick sharp pain which caused Tamsin to let out a small gasp, but that soon led to little moan of pleasure as Ferro began to drink.

The vampire remembered that moment at the lake when they first kissed, and the sudden smell of the valkyrie's blood.

It smelt good back then, but the taste of it was even better.

Tamsin's blood had a sweet exotic taste, making her feel high like she was on ecstasy.

Tamsin felt the same, only it was different, she felt like her heart was about to burst.

The feeling of pleasure, love and passion consumed her body and as she pulled the vampire close, she wrapped her arms around her.

The amount of love she felt for the vampire was beyond anything she could imagine in that moment, she was ready for it.

She was ready to have sex... but as Tamsin began preparing herself to make passionate love with the vampire, Ferro stopped.

"Why did you stop?" Tamsin asked out of breath and a little flustered.

"I've had enough, why?" Ferro smirked at the blonde, she knew what Tamsin was thinking but she also knew the valkyrie wasn't ready.

"You just looked like you needed a really good feed... you looked pretty drained earlier. You sure you had enough?" Tamsin wasn't expecting her to stop so suddenly, she also didn't expect herself to want the vampire to bite her again so desperately.

Ferro just smiled at her. "We need to get ready, we're gonna crash Lauren and Felice's date today, make it a double" Ferro winked at her.

"We can't just crash their date. Lauren hasn't had a girlfriend since Bo, which is a big deal. Her and Felice make a cute couple actually, we should just have our own date instead, leave those two lovebirds to it" said Tamsin as she made her way back to bed pulling Ferro along with her.

"Well... what shall we do?"

"I don't mind staying in all day, in bed, with you..." Tamsin put her arms around the vampire's neck, kissing her gently on the lips.

"I guess we could have a lazy day, no harm in that" Ferro smiled as she kissed the valkyrie again this time with more passion in a silent agreement to making out under the covers.

"We're back!" Felice called out.

Lauren and Felice had gone for a picnic earlier that day at the local park. While the nymph had popped into the Dark compound for a quick last minute meeting, the older valkyrie had quickly flown to the other side of town and bought everything she could think of that was suitable for a picnic, placing them in the trunk before Lauren had come back.

It was a peaceful and relaxing date.

Lauren hadn't been with anyone other than Bo since back in school, never really feeling ready to be with anyone else.

They had hit off when they met last night and she could see herself together with valkyrie.

"Where are they?" Lauren asked.

"Well, the doors shut," Felice said as she looked towards Tamsin's room. "They've probably been sleeping all day"

"Just sleeping?" Lauren asked, with an eyebrow raised.

"I guarantee it" Felice chuckled.

"They really are perfect for each other" Lauren said, happy for her best friend that her and the vampire had reunited.

The nymph made a mental note to arrange a double date for the four of them.

"Maybe we should head back to bed" said Felice as she walked over to the nymph and picking her up and putting her over her shoulder causing Lauren to giggle.

"Maybe we should" the nymph agreed, as the older woman rushed into her bedroom, causing Lauren to giggle more.

The Dal

"Mom, everything is fine here. Ferro's great, she's been with Tamsin ever since she got back" Felix told his mother over the phone, trying to assure her that Ferro was okay and not in any trouble.

"Well who is this redhead Felice was talking about then? This girl sounds like trouble"

"She's just a girl who was hanging around our college, she's nothing to worry about, okay? Listen mom, I have to go I'm meeting a friend now. We'll talk soon, okay? Love you" Felix hung up the phone before his mother could say anything.

Walking into the Dal he saw Kenzi and Bo sat at the bar and made his way over to them.

"Hey guys"

"Hey Fe, you okay?" Bo asked noticing he looked a little annoyed.

"Yeah, just mom being her typical nagging self. I need a drink" said Felix as he signalled Trick over and asked for 6 shots and 2 beers for him and Bo, and a tequila for Kenzi.

"Where's Lauren and everyone? Thought they'd be out tonight" Bo asked.

"I spoke to Felice earlier, her and Lauren went on a date so I guess they're still together...somewhere" said Felix as he watched Trick give them their beers and poor out the shots.

"Lauren went on a date with Felice?" Bo asked annoyed and a little surprised.

"Yeah, Lauren is totally her type, she has a thing for intelligence" said Felix before he down his 2 shots.

"Well, Bo has no chance" Kenzi teased after she took her two shots and downed her tequila, not wasting any time.

The girl can drink.

"Kenzi, shut up" said Bo annoyed as she smacked the brunette on her arm making Kenzi and Felix chuckle.

"I'm not having this," said Kenzi. "Order some more shots, I'm gonna text Tammy and tell her to get her and leech's ass over here!"

"Tell them to stop being so unsociable, even though it's only been a full day but still... we miss them!" Felix downed the three shots that appeared in front of him.

"Felix calm down" Bo giggled before downing the rest of her beer.

"Says you!" Felix exclaimed before they both burst into laughter.

"They better get their asses down here 'cause I'll be damned if I'm gonna be stuck here with you two" Kenzi shook her head as she watched the two of them getting really drunk from a few beers and shots.
