Kendra was in the back of Lauren's SUV with Bo and didn't say a single word. Recent events within the past couple of hours were just catching up with her in addition to their full implications.

Somehow she just lost her son, and soon her husband, and now she was some flesh eating monster all within the span of several hours. Was this some sort if dream? She wished that were true. Pinching herself didn't seem to work.

In any case, it was early morning still and she needed to get back to Eric though before night fall. He was her husband after all and wanted to spend it as married couple one last time. This sucked Kendra concluded.

Lauren was driving quickly to her clinic when she asked Kendra, "Are you feeling any cravings?"

Kendra snapped out of trance and just replied tersely, "No…. wait.. a little bit. Like I want a steak. Rare." Odd Kendra thought, she liked her meats well done at the very least.

"Let me know if that craving gets really strong ok? We are near my clinic and have some nutritional supplements that will help. Hang in there," Lauren reassured keeping it all business. She was about to ask her girlfriend Bo if she could charm her just in case but thought it best to ask Bo in private. Bo MIGHT be able to use her powers if Tamsin juiced her up enough.

"Yea," Kendra replied somewhat despondently. 'Nutritional supplements': So that is what the Doctor euphemized dead flesh.

Bo reached out and held Kendra's hand. She was still trying to deal with Lauren's Jekyll and Hyde complex and now she was wondering how to deal with Suzie.

This has to wait however, Kendra needed a friend.

Bo smiled warmly and side hugged Kendra and in soothing tone said, "Hey, I'll be ok. We're with you every step of the way. You know I need to feed to?"

Kendra just turned to Bo with a half smiled and replied, "You know, Dyson speaks very highly of you."

"Good things I hope," Bo interjected with a mischievous smirk.

"Yes, he told me that you can feed without killing someone and that during the feed it's pleasurable," Kendra replied. "You're not hurting people Bo. I …. I feel like I want to … to …."

Kendra snapped her attention to Lauren's back a little perturbed and asked, "Tell me about being a ghoul. How come I feel like I want to eat living things?"

Lauren parked in front of her clinic and everyone quickly got out. Bo held Kendra's hand walking inside.

Lauren explained walking down the hall to the elevators, "A ghoul is a flesh eating sentient being. They are stronger, faster than humans and extremely resilient. Their intelligence varies but that is dependent brain matter, time of death and how well fed they are. You should be fine Kendra. Just feed ok?"

Getting into the elevator Kendra's head still felt a little mushy but asked, "Speaking of feeding. Do I eat living or dead? Can I eat like a normal person?"

Lauren hit the down button and explained, "You eat both and can live off of any one source if you desire. I suggest eating the dead."

Suzie opened the door for them since she saw them down the hallway.

Bo almost forgot, Suzie was naked under her lab coat which she had button up all the way. NICE high heels.

Kendra passed the lab tech and she smelled GREAT. Bo and Lauren smelled ok, but SOMETHING about her was really attractive which made her stop.

Suzie was really nervous and backed up. A ghoul could smell fear and THAT sometimes set them off. Not that she was scared of Kendra at first, but she was really scared of Bo.

Bo pulled her along as Lauren explained noting Kendra's attraction of Suzie who looked …. GREAT. She was 'commando' as Bo put it but was she even wearing anything?

Lauren pulled herself back to reality and explained as Bo led her to a room in back with a non-descript box in the center on a table.

"You can smell fear Kendra. That is why some live humans are so attractive to you. You have to control that urge and that is why you need to be fully fed. As for your other question about eating regular food, you can eat it but it will be bland and tasteless to you. Sometime its taste will disgust you and will induce your vomit reflex," Lauren explained pulling the various frozen body parts out of the box for Kendra to eat. She also instructed Suzie to cut them up so that Kendra wouldn't recognize them immediately. It would help with her transition to being a ghoul.

Bo sat Kendra down and reassured her, "I'll be right outside ok?" Bo got the nod from Lauren to leave. NOW it was time to deal with Suzie.

Lauren donned on her lab coat and searched her pocket. She needed to make sure she had a tranquilizer for Kendra just in case she tried to feast on her.

The doctor then instructed, "Kendra, you need to eat a full human carcass every month to prevent yourself from being driven soley by only your instinct to feed. That and you feel pain if you starve yourself."

Kendra was a little disgusted at the meat strewed before her but at the same time, the 'food' set before her smelled good too.

"I … I don't know doctor," Kendra shook her head poking at the meat on the table.

"Please Kendra. If you don't eat, you will be in pain in addition to the spell being negated," Lauren urged.

"Please doctor….."

"Just call me Lauren. Please," she assured as best she could. She knew Kendra was struggling with this.

"Just… just give me a moment," Kendra stammered.

Kendra sat there for several minutes contemplating if THIS is what she was.

A ghoul.

Was her life worth THAT much where her everyone she loved would be dead to her?

Eric?

His parents that loved her too?

Her entire family?

No.

THIS was WRONG. This was NO FUCKING way to live.

Sure she was picking up a new family, Dyson, Kiko, Bo, and gang but at what cost?

Finally Kendra whipped out her phone and dialed Eric and while it was connected, Kendra told Lauren, "Can I please have a moment alone?"

"I'll be right outside," Lauren said formally. After all she needed to get Bo setup as a lab tech and maybe have two hot lab techs to have romantic relations with, MAYBE at the same time.

Lauren smirked manically. She loved being aligned with Evony and her power. She could have it all and why not. She deserved it and who was she kidding. She was 'Going to screw their brains out and they'd like it.' Just in case, she needed to put on a little bit more of the succubus attractant.

Bo found Suzie sitting on a lab stool peering thought a microscope and approached her enemy cautiously.

WHAT to do about her, THAT was the bigger question.

Tamsin was right. Suzie would be enough of a distraction for Lauren so she could complete her mission to dig up information on Evony. She HATED Lauren but at the same time, she was a good friend too. WAS.

Bo tried to hate Lauren's actions for what she was doing to her and not the person itself. Deep down Lauren was still there. Was she too lost to be saved?

Maybe, but Bo still felt guilty. Lauren never gave up on her even when they were just friends. Nor did Dyson. Tamsin, same thing. They would all die for her but Lauren, her hero for helping her keep her humanity in a Fae world was now her captor or so Lauren thought.

All Bo knew was that before she did anything rash, she'd better talk to Suzie to get her angle. To do that she needed to thrall her a little.

Suzie jumped up nervously and waved to Bo quickly then hugging onto her lab coat like her life depended on it.

The lab tech just blurted out, "It was YOU sending text messages from Lauren's phone. I should have known. Lauren would NEVER ask that of me." The way Lauren glanced at her when she held the door open said it all. Lauren wasn't expecting her to be nude under her lab coat.

Bo put her hands up getting closer to Suzie but she stepped back a little scared. "Yes Suzie, it was me. Lauren was choosing what you should wear and I took over. Can we talk?"

"NO! You get the crap away from me," Suzie grabbed a scalpel for a tray and then another to have one in each hand.

"Whoa," Bo said halting her advance. "I won't get any closer to you. I won't hurt you. Can we talk now?"

"Just LEAVE ME ALONE," Suzie stomped. Bo didn't have her powers so she had the upper hand. No way was the slut going to get the upper hand on her. She was an MMA fighter after all.

"Oooooooo K …." Bo said to get close enough to her to deescalate the situation with her 'human' charms, but her phone rang. She fished it out and it said "Tamsin". Normally she wouldn't answer but did so.

"Hello … it's not good t…" Bo said but was cut off when Tamsin demanded in 5 words, "Put me on speaker Bo."

"Huh" Bo asked with a Lab Tech ready to slice and dice. "Kind of busy now…."

"Do you want me to deal with that slut Suzie or what?"

Bo was unsure how she knew but shrugged setting the phone down and engaging the speaker phone.

Tamsin just growled menacingly to Suzie even over the speaker phone, "Suzie, you know me, Tamsin, the evil Valkyrie of the dark. You just pulled not 1 but 2 knives at my succubus. Well small teeny tiny ones, but I will promise not to go over to you and KILL you after Bo has her way with you IF you drop the knives and COMPLY with her fucking request to TALK. Yes, she loves to talk. Right Bo?"

Bo was amazed at how situationally aware she was and just replied, "Uh-huh. I want to talk. I only want peace." Bo just shrugged and let her lover do it her way. She found it odd that she blindly trusted Tamsin now. She owed her that much.

"Don't make me repeat myself Suzie!" Tamsin demanded upset. "I said DROP the knives and SIT the FUCK down to talk to my succubus. NOW!"

Suzie didn't do it and just jabbed a knife at Bo to get her to back up but she was unfazed and yelled back, "Empty words Tamsin. Bo can't even turn on a TV right now."

"Oh really? You know she's a FULL power and then some. Demonstration Bo?"

Bo didn't know what she was getting at but tried to use her powers. She didn't know if she had them or not but Tamsin seemed to think so. After a second Bo found that she was able to make her hand glow brightly ready to thrall, but she needed to get in close to the knife wielding tech.

'Oh SHIT,' Suzie thought but if she didn't get close her it didn't matter so she did a spinning kick to which Bo leant back a little and let it sail through but touched her bare leg to which it jolted her with pleasure. It was enough to throw her off her game.

"Did I mention that she has telekinetic powers as well, compliments of me?" the phone blared.

Bo had no idea how she was going to demonstrate that but out of nowhere over the curtain empty plastic test tubes pelted Suzie to which she just squawked and stumbled back for cover.

"She can strip you silly where you stand," Tamsin continued.

Bo just stepped forward confidently knowing that SOMEHOW Tamsin was working this and to her delight, Suzie's lab coat billowed up revealing her ripped tummy but more so her kitty in full bloom amongst the well-trimmed grass. She did love the ring which pierced her hooded pearl.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeep!" Suzie slapped her hands down on the skirt of her lab coat which just billowed up all of a sudden. Bo DID have her fucking powers and more. Lauren was somehow wrong oddly enough about Bo not having any powers.

Bo loved Tamsin. She was really enjoying this power rush and just jeered, "Here kitty, kitty kitty."

In a last ditch effort to run she threw her blades at Bo. Granted Lauren taught her a little, but in this case, she just needed enough time to get away.

Bo was ready to catch them but to her surprise the curved sharply away deflecting into the next room.

"BAD human! You doubted her powers?! NOW Bo? Make her sit down," Tamsin ordered.

Bo was about to walk over to her and force her into the seat but Suzie looked like she was being pulled by an invisible leash of sorts. Bo just worked with it and just smiled jeering more, "Aren't you good a kitty? Come here."

"PLEASE….. I … I give up!" Suzie had no idea Bo was THIS powerful, she was bring pulled by the ring on her top of her arch. She let Bo lead her to the stool but although the pull stopped, her ring vibrated turning her on.

She clapped her legs tightly to stop it but to no avail.

Bo took a seat next to her and just mentioned, "A deal was a deal. I said all would be fine if….."

Suzie felt totally humiliated when Bo sat next to her then put a hand on her bare knee. She could be thrall at ANY moment.

Suzie nodded saying shakily and scared, "P….p…please Ms. Dennis, don't thrall me. I'll tell you everything you ask and more. May… may I take of my lab coat off for you?"

Bo just replied, "THAT is the first right thing you said to me and YES, I want your ass on the seat naked."

Suzie nodded and slowly in total defeat unbuttoned her lab coat and then after taking a deep breath let it slide off her shoulders and off her person.

Bo then rubbed her leg to reassure her but was not one to beat around the bush and charmed her anyway slowly.

Suzie didn't know why all of a sudden she had this longing for the succubus but she leaned forward hesitantly inch by inch. She HAD to kiss Bo since she was so beautiful.

Bo smirked, by Tamsin juicing her, somehow she got her powers back but as much as she wanted to revel in delight, she asked sticking to business and cooed, "Why don't you want me to thrall you?"

The now dreamy eyed Suzie wanted to please her and just leant in further but pouted when her gorgeous succubus backed up. She finally replied in a daydream like smirk, "Be… because, you'd find out that although I think Lauren is hot…emmm but not hotter then you. I must have you…."

Bo just demanded nicely, "Thanks, so Lauren is hot. Fiiiine. What are you hiding from me?"

Suzie stammered, "I…. I need Lauren to concentrate on me so that she can guide me on my graduate thesis. Also…. Also I need her to sponsor me for a senior position at FaeLabCore."

Bo lifted a brow not quite getting it and goaded, "What does this have to do with me?"

"You are soooo beautiful. Let me kiss you," Suzie puckered up but Bo stopped her again by holding her bare shoulder.

"You can as soon as you tell me WHY you are banging Lauren and WHY did it coincide with me going horizontal with her?!" Bo put forth more bluntly.

"I…I knew Lauren was Gaga over you … as time went on she was more obsessed with you … and stopped concentrating on me. I need her…. For now. You are a threat to me. I mean… was…. You are sooooooo pretty."

'Whoa so she IS spy banging Lauren,' Bo mused to herself. It goes to show you reap what you sow and what you sow you keep.

Bo smirked and finally let Suzie kiss her on the lips and offered in between the spate of pecks, "Suzie….. we can HELP each other. LISTEN." Bo pushed her off and finally reversed the thrall effect and it was instantaneous where Suzie backed up and covered up in horror.

Suzie KNEW she was in deep shit now. Bo thralled her and she spilled the beans. Bo was a self-righteous hero of the gang. Now Bo was gonna go medieval on her ass.

Bo finally put on a tight smirk to deescalate the situation and then solemnly, "I'm sorry for thralling you but we need to talk. You may put your lab coat on if you wish."

Suzie nodded a little unsure how to proceed and why Bo was being so nice. She felt a little better after she buttoned up.

Bo finally smirked and in calm tones said, "As I was saying, we can help each other out."

"Oooookkkkk? How?" Suzie shifted in her seat still scared and unsure what Bo could possibly want from her.

"First, you can bang Lauren all you want. I don't fucking what that psycho bitch," Bo stated getting to business still a little mad.

"You… you don't want to be with her… but.. but she talks about you all the time and … and you are with her."

"ONLY because I need something for her lab computers OTHERWISE I still want to …. Do bad things to her," Bo snarled.

The cell phone then interjected, "OK Succubus. Breathe and TELL her what you need."

Bo took several deep breaths and was kind of glad Tammy was with her in a way.

Suzie heard about the attractant that Lauren was using and finally added it up, "So… you've been immune to Lauren's succubus attractant all this time….."

"Not before she raped ….. sorry. She used me Suzie. Now I need your help and in turn I can help you."

Bo composed what to say and asked. "I need to get all the information on Evony's condition and medications or spells the doctor used to get her this powerful."

Suzie nodded and asked, "I can check Lauren's patient notes and database, but what is in it for me?"

Bo smirked, "Since I am her 'DEVOTED' girlfriend, I will make sure she pays attention to you FIRST before she can get together with me. Besides, I think you need to know that Lauren is going to make me a lab assistant too. We'll probably be paired together. That takes care of your thesis. As for your job as FaeLabCore, I know the Ash, Trick, and I will make sure he places you wherever you want. Who knows, maybe Lauren will endorse you too if I push her."

Suzie finally smiled. This was a good deal. A little but of computer time and all the benefit.

Bo added as a warning shot, "Of course, this is ONLY good if you can help me get the info I need on Evony."

"OK. DEAL," Suzie brought her hand forward to shake Bo's.

Bo wanted to make sure she was good for her word and shook her hand with her right and with her left, quickly and adroitly slid it up Suzie's leg since they were sitting next to one another.

Suzie squeaked not at Bo's firm hand shake, but Bo's left hand was playing with her folds too. SHE was good and in no time, without the ability to separate, was wetting herself. GOD her charm powers were BEYOND good. Both her human and succubus ones. Right now she didn't know which the beautiful succubus was using.

Bo eased her fingers inside Suzie's sex and began to charm her to warn her. "HOW can I trust you? You could double cross me. You are her GF after all"

Suzie was losing her mind. Bo work working her too well and before she knew it blurted out, "I won't do that. I don't want Lauren. I'm with Todd Hanberg … he's my now fiancé …. I'm … I'm Bi. I…. I keep it a secret from Doctor Lewis."

The phone on the table just whispered, "niiiiiiice." It then went more formal with Tamsin clearing her throat and saying, "I mean it's good to sample what life has to offer. Hey like I always say, 'Doesn't matter if you're Bi, just please them between the thighs.'

"No ring?" Bo questioned with a slight smirk at Tamsin's comment. She liked her sense of humor.

"I….. I don't wear it here and also with all the equipment, it's not allowed," Suzie was about to release but Bo was holding her at peak on purpose.

"What will you do if all goes as planned, what will you do with Lauren?" Bo asked trying to see Suzie's end game.

"Break up with her… OH yessss! … I mean, you can have her. She's a hottie and all ….. but no. I can only take so much of her nerdiness."

Bo quickly deduced that it was time to seal the deal. She could do it nicely by pulling out, or make Suzie crest as a double warning to NOT be double crossed. There was no honor among thieves or spy bangers or that matter. The bigger question was how Tamsin would react. That question all of a sudden was answered when the phone just said, "Go ahead Bo. Show her your 'SECRET succubus' hand shake."

Bo wondered HOW Tamsin knew her this well but steamed forward. She used her Fae strength to grab Suzie's lab coat with her right hand and pulled her to standing along with her. Bo's 2 fingers on her left hand still hooked deep inside the lust filled tech. It also helped lift her up slightly as well.

"It a DEAL Suzie and REMEMBER, don't fuck with me."

Suzie was in horror and at peak. Its combination was intoxicating as she nodded but was going to release.

Bo lifted her into the air so her feet left the ground at the same time the succubus worked her fingers hitting her spot over and over. Bo smirked manically when used her charms saying, "You'd better cover your mouth or Lauren might know you just got OWNED by me."

Suzie didn't know WHAT happened but she clapped both her hands over her mouth and fell into the abyss of wanton pleasure. Bo was STRONG and could break her in half but at the same time she was cresting HARD. Too hard. This was better than ANYTHING she experienced.

Bo knew Tamsin was somehow watching when during the sound of droplets of water impacting the hard tiles just sang out, "Pop goes the weasel!"

In the next room, Kendra could be heard arguing loudly with Lauren.

Suzie struggled to get free to compose herself but Bo was still holding her in the air.

"Oh NO YOU DON'T. FINISH what you started," Bo growled and kept working her to a second high.

During the second crest, Suzie passed out and the next thing she knew was slumped in chair in the corner with a note in her hand the read, "Get to work. I'm off with Lauren and Kendra to help her feed. Double cross me and the entire internet will see this video and you can kiss you medical career goodbye and say hello to one in the adult industry. - (Heart) Bo." Bo knew that Tamsin probably tapped into the camera system and was recording it anyway.

Bo made Suzie look presentable in the high backed chair in the corner and rushed into see what the commotion with Kendra and Lauren was about.

She bust in right at Kendra declared in a snarl, "No! With all due respect doctor, I WILL NOT eat cadavers."

Lauren blocked her from leaving and put her hand out to show she didn't have anything in her hands and calmly said, "You need to eat within the next hour or you'll die."

"I'm fucking dead already!" Kendra barked back. "I… I can't LIVE without my husband Eric. I just can't."

"I… I know you …."

Kendra just yelled vivid since she was WAY past talking, "Take me to my husband NOW! I will die in his arms as KENDRA MARTA SHAW."

Bo just strolled over didn't know if this helped but stoked her arm to reassure her and charmed her to calm her down. "Hey Kendra. We can do that, but can you tell me what changed your mind?"

Kendra became less agitated and finally after taking a breath to talk, "I just got off the phone with him and although he is fine with this arrangement where is loses me in the home invasion and then remembering another version of me, I can't bear to lose him. Not after all we've been through."

"OK," Bo said sitting her down and nodding to Lauren to back off which she did. "I think it's more than that. Can to talk it through?"

Kendra found that Bo slid next to her and even though she had a hunger for flesh, even Bo, stammered, "I don't want to be a ghoul. Eric…. Well he can't wrap his head around it."

"OK so his opinion on what you are about to become matters?"

"YES. That's all that matters."

Bo turned to Lauren and asked, "How much time does she have if she doesn't feed?"

"1.234 hours. At best. Worst case, .843 hours," Lauren succinctly responded.

"And how far is it to Eric?"

Lauren briefly calculated looking up, "35 minutes."

Bo proposed holding Kendra's hand, "OK. I know Eric's opinion means everything to you, but neither of you can make that assessment if you haven't fed."

"But if I feed I will be a ghoul permanently," Kendra replied.

"Feed in front of him. They are holding that last Orc correct?"

Kendra nodded.

"Feed from that Orc with Eric present," Bo offered simply.

"I won't let Eric see the monster I have become," Kendra stated adamantly.

"You can't have it BOTH ways. You don't want Eric to see you feed AND at the same time you want his real opinion about what you are about to become," Bo stated analytically.

Kendra nodded, "OK. Let me see this Orc and get him to talk. And after I'm done feeding, if Eric and I choose to end my life, so be it. Agreed?"

Bo nodded but it was Lauren who spoke up.

"I can't euthanize you Kendra," Lauren spoke with concern. "It is against my oath."

Kendra just got up and smiled for once and replied, "I don't expect you to. Kiko promised to kill me if I request her to do so." All Kendra needed to do after all was to act rabid for more flesh toward her new friends.

It was now off to see Dyson, Eric and Kiko now but Bo let Suzie know that they left.

A/N: Lauren's list of 'friends' is getting quite long. LOL

Command, fav and follow!
