Now That You're Gone, I Can Fly Chapter 12: Vengeance Is Mine, a lost girl fanfic

A/N: Anyone NOT loyal to the Valkubus ship may not want to continue. If you sail multiple ships, this chapter will question and test your allegiances.

Arin opened and passed Tamsin another beer as they watched Game of Thrones in a guest room meant for heroes. They worked hard, so they played even harder.

Arin knew to be in good with the contacts that took care of the rooms. As such, she got 'special' perks.

"Wow, and I thought I was evil. Really? Torching his own daughter due to a vision?" Tamsin remarked.

"And apparently," Arin smirked, "Jon Snow knew nothing. He didn't see that coming."

Both erupted in laughter imitating the character Egret in unison, "Euuuuuu know nothing Jon Sno'."

They fell into the bed giggling like little girls.

"Gods Arin," Tamsin said catching her breath with both sitting up facing each other. "Thanks. I'm having the time of my life."

Arin laughed too and finally said, "Hey, ya wanna see if Freya has a mission for 2 tomorrow?"

Tamsin rolled her eyes and did an over exaggerated ditzy girl imitation, "Like… ya!... like OMG. We need to do that like IMHO ASAP before EOD."

Arin snickered, and replied back with the same imitation, "Like TOTALLY! This next mission be Craycray!"

They erupted in laughter once more.

Mid laugh Tamsin grabbed at her chest and Arin looked concerned.

"How much of the elixir have you taken today?" Arin inquired.

"3," Tamsin frowned.

"WAIT, you can only take 2, and that is stretching it," Arin noted with concern. "And, you have Freya's amulet on too."

"Yea," Tamsin furrowed her brows in defeat. "Not only is that succubus been thinking about me all day now, but it's been getting stronger. I mean, it's not nearly as bad as when she left, but still."

Tamsin changed the topic quickly and in a somewhat faux cheer demeanor gleefully stated, "Hey so which mission should we go on next. Something with lots of bloodshed, parties, and sex?"

Arin finally spilled the beans, "She's dying and no amount of Trick's magic and extensive knowledge thereof can save her. She also lost her Fae abilities to heal in addition."

Tamsin just spat out angry, "Total BS! Trick can write her a story that keeps his precious alive."

Arin knew about Trick and just answered with a question, "At what price? You know as well as I do that if Trick does that, it may undo all of Bo's sacrifices and MORE."

"FUCK! I hate that succubus! Ugggggggggggg!" Tamsin yelled jumping out of bed frustrated. "That freaking stupid slut had to take the bullet AGAIN for what! Hera and Zeus? They'll just FIND a way back sooner or later. Not to mention Hades!"

Arin yelled to stop Tamsin from ranting and to get it off her chest in addition, "Kenzi, your mom, has requested you see her and Bo."

Tamsin froze went slack jawed and didn't know what to do but before she could dodge the issue Arin let it be known.

"Bo has less than 4 days left from what I see. I told them to let Bo go and in that way you can be free of her, but Kenzi asked I just tell you and give you that choice," Arin stood up in front of her sister and put her hands on her shoulders. "I'm sorry sis, that is what I was holding back at the portal earlier."

Tamsin sank into the bed and was lost in her thoughts but as an offhanded comment said without much conviction, "You should have never told me. I have been trying to forget her and just delude myself that my pain in my heart was from a war wounds. If she can't heal herself and spells don't work then….. "

"Lauren said something about the bond you two still have which might bring her out of her current comatose state. At least to a point where frail human science can keep her alive," Arin rattled off sitting next to her.

"Oh Lauren!" Tamsin rolled her eyes and relayed sarcastically, "Now THAT'S why she needs me, to save her stupid girlfriend from certain death."

Tamsin immediately flashed back to Lauren making her promise to stay away as a condition of saving Arin. That cut really deep.

Tamsin hated Bo, but Lauren even more. Tamsin at least loved Bo and had to admit that Bo trying to make amends the last time she was here was immensely gutsy.

STUPID and useless, but gutsy.

Lauren? They were just family. They tolerated each other but NOW with Tamsin essentially disowning them what did that make Lauren?

Her enemy.

Arin could literally see the steam coming out of her ears as she stewed.

"That fracking sorry excuses for a back stabbing doctor is so gosh darn lucky to be even breathing right now Arin! Bo pleaded for her on her cowardly and traitorous behalf!" Tamsin flipped out jumping up and pacing."

Tamsin whipped about with a heated stare and vehemently proclaimed, "NO. I am not going to see Bo."

There was silence for a time as Tamsin considered her down comment.

Arin thought about it and queried, "So, to make Lauren suffer, you are willing to let Bo pay the price? I assume that Bo is your enemy still."

Tamsin was taken aback and in a dazed state asked back, "Don't tell me that the succubus grew on you too? You barely know her."

Arin bit her bottom lip and replied carefully, "Not as well as you, BUT I know a good one when I see it. Bo ISN'T a succubus. She's more than her species. She's just…. Bo."

Tamsin just angrily lashed out, "Oh yea! I thought I knew her too and I also thought she was more than her species until SHE DUMPED me. She didn't even give me a chance."

"But she said she truly loves you when she was here," Arin pointed out backing up to give Tamsin a little space.

"It's A PLOY Dammit! No fracking way I'm going anywhere NEAR that slut!" Tamsin crossed her arms over her chest and stomped. "She wants me in her harem THAT'S why. I am NOT going to fall for this crap again!"

Arin knew that talking to Tamsin now would only strengthen her resolve to stay away but had to ask one final thing, "Hey, calm down Tamsin and don't kill the messenger. What about Kenzi's request to see her, Bo aside? She IS your mother you know."

Tamsin froze. Kenzi did nothing wrong. She was always supportive of her. Out of all the people in the gang she could call her mother and best friend, it was Kenzi and she didn't deserve her wrath.

"Fine," Tamsin huffed out. "Her and only her. Anyone else may be greeted by my sword or dagger"

Arin then warned, "It looks like she spends most of the time at Lauren's medical facility. So Bo will be there too."

Tamsin exhaled sharply, "Uggggg Kinda figured.."

"I can come with you sis," Arin offered knowing how hard this was for Tamsin. She may end up having to face Bo anyway.

Tamsin just shook her head. "It's my cross to bear, Arin. I will make do. I'll be back in an hour," Tamsin clicked weakly and left.

Arin wanted to say something over the link, but what? It was now Kenzi's turn and it was out of her hands.

At least Tamsin was facing her demons now, Arin mused. Ever since she stormed out of the crack shack, she's been running away from Bo and peripherally the gang too. Tamsin never ran but oddly learned to run away from love.

Love as a result of betrayal cut the deepest and not even the hardest of hearts could defend against it.

Tamsin was pissed off at what she was forced to do but slammed with down button in the elevator to get to Lauren's clinic several times almost breaking it.

"Freaking succubus!" Tamsin grunted to herself in anger. "I hate her. I hate her! I HATE her!"

Tamsin just kept mumbling it to herself over and over almost as if it was a prayer or was she trying to delude herself?

It didn't take long to reach the double glass doors to Lauren's place and it was locked. Apparently with no receptionist, Tamsin had to use the intercom system to get buzzed in.

Tamsin didn't play that.

Tamsin growled and snapped up a scrap of paper she found on the floor, rolled it up where it was thin enough to go between the cracks in the double doors. Right as she pushed it in, she lit it with a lighter.

The paper went into a large flame right after it hit the floor inside the doors.

"Click," the door sounded.

"Heat activated exit doors. USELESS," Tamsin mentioned to herself scrunching her face opening the door with ease and then stepping on the now smoldering paper to extinguish it.

Once inside she came to a metal door with only small window which required a card swipe and a pin.

From the looks of it, no one was in there with the dim lighting, but she could not see past the curtain.

"Ugggggg!" The exasperated Tamsin just walked over to the receptionist desk, opened couple drawers and grabbed a key card and just huffed over to door, swiped it and entered 12345 into the pad.

No dice.

54321

No dice.

11111

Nope.

Tamsin looked around and remembered that she was in building 92374.

92374

"Click," the door sounded.

Tamsin grinned manically as she pulled the door open stealthily and entered.

Right as she cleared the curtain, her heart twitched in pain.

NOW Tamsin knew why Lauren locked the place down well so that no one could just walk in.

Bo was lying peacefully hooked up to several machines in her the hospital bed, but WITH her in that same bed was Lauren tucked in right next to her hugging Bo fast asleep.

At least they were clothed but a slew of slanderous thoughts came to Tamsin's mind as her death stare fell on Lauren.

Traitor

Back Stabber

Slut

Bitch

Hoe

Leech

Frail

Feeble

Cowardly

Left footed

Twiggy

HUMAN.

Tamsin drew her dagger like a cat on the hunt as she prowled to her target.

She looked about but she didn't see Kenzi although her car was parked outside. That was odd. She wasn't at the crack shack or the Dal. Maybe Kenzi hitched a ride with someone else and stayed at Dyson's.

No matter.

This was all too easy Tamsin thought as she wound up on Lauren's side of the bed.

She stealthy snaked the blade across Lauren's neck and gloated that she had Lauren's life in her hands.

She was going to enjoy slitting her throat and watch her life fade away.

How dare Lauren make demands of her and it was her ENTIRELY her fault for putting Tamsin in a world of pain. Lauren knew Bo was taken since Tamsin checked. She did the same with Dyson to make sure that the coast was clear.

BUT NO.

Lauren moved in anyway. ON HER TURF.

And Lauren never learned the saying to 'never EVER eff with a Valkyrie'.

Tamsin's steady blade hand shook a little in anger but Lauren had no idea how much danger she was in as she mumbled, "BP steady at 110 over 70. Pulse 69."

Tamsin smiled knowing those would be her famous last words as her hatred for the doctor engulfed her.

Screw that succubus.

Screw this life.

Screw the gang.

And most of all, screw you Lauren. You fracking human traitor!

Like a kettle on fast boil, Tamsin's anger spilt over and exploded like a powder keg.
