LPOV:
2 WEEKS LATER.
"Yes Hale, I know, yes I know and I appreciate the offer but this time away is really doing me some good, I'm fine with being on my own." I tell Hale over the phone, him and Kenzi have been ringing at least 3 times a week wanting to know how I am. Pretty much begging me to let them come up and be with me, but they know I need this time.
Of course Bo's also been trying to get in contact non-stop, but there's no way I'm ready to see her yet. But unlike the past 2 weeks since I've been here it's now not because I'm too sad to see her or I think I might break at the sight of her, don't get me wrong I'm still heartbroken over what she did, but now I'm more worried about the damage I'll do with my fists to her forgive me, I'm sorry face and Dyson's smug hairy face. There's only so long I can stay the victim. The first weeks here I spent crying and wishing what happened wasn't true and that maybe I can forgive her for what happened. Maybe it was just a drunken mistake.
"Look Hale I'm just about to make dinner so I'll see to you next week when I get back to work…yes tell Kenzi that I promise to have a night out with her when I get back. I'll see you soon Hale, bye." I hang up my iPhone and head over to the kitchen to get my dinner started. I almost jump out of my skin when there's a loud rumble of thunder followed by a loud clap of lightning, guess I'm in for a stormy night.
My phone starts buzzing again in the living area. I head back over and grab my phone.
Bo Calling
I reject the call and get back to making my meal.
Every week. Nearly every day for the past 2 weeks Bo calls me, texts me and leaves multiple voicemail, making me need to clear my inbox all the time just so I can receive calls from people who may actually need my help. Even though I'm slowly but surely getting over how Bo's betrayed me, I still don't want to speak to her, I won't give her the time of day. I'm still not ready to listen to how everything with Dyson was a mistake or how much she loves me. I'm over the Fae…and all the bullshit that comes with it.
I start chopping up peppers, onions and carrots just deciding on a simple stir fry for tonight's meal. Thankfully it only takes me a few minutes to make, so I'm soon settling down onto the sofa with my meal, a glass of wine and the latest episode of the new amazing show sense8 on Netflix that I've recently become obsessed with.
"Ooooh run Nomi run." I shout at my laptop screen as she climbs down the side of the house with whispers goons following her.
I'm pulled away from the show when I hear banging from outside the cabin, kind of like my bins being knocked over and the sensor lights going off, making the whole of the outside light up. I pause the show and head over to the window and have a look outside, but I can't really see much as the lights go out. I move back to the sofa but the lights turning back on stop me.
"Now either those lights are faulty or there's someone out there." I mumble walking over to the kitchen and grabbing a butcher knife. I head outside onto the porch, I squint my eyes to see past the rain but it's too dark so I head over to the sensor and light the driveway up again. I think I see out the corner of my eye a shadow moving to hide at the corner of the house.
"Hello?" I call out keeping my distance, getting silence in return.
"Hale is that you? I told you I'm fine on my own." I hear nothing in return so I move towards the corner of the house making the light go off, but as I turn the corner to see what's going on there's no one there.
"Okay I'm over this now." It's raining, cold and I'm done playing Sherlock. I move back to the door but just to the right of me on the tree line is something or someone there.
"Hello? Bo is that you." I call out wondering if Bo tracked me down somehow, getting tired of me not answering my phone and came for more grovelling.
"I said Hello." I shout.
The 'thing' makes a movement towards me and due to the feeling of complete dread in my stomach makes me think that it's not Bo stood at the bottom of my drive. It growls lowly and makes its way towards me. My heart jumps in my chest and I start off running towards the cabin, but whatever it is cuts me off by getting in front of me so I change my path and head into the woods. I pretty much spent every summer of childhood and teen years, I know these woods like the back of my hand. I come to a stop behind a large tree about 20 meters from the house. This was always my hiding spot when my cousins and me would play hide and seek. The rain seems to be a help and a hindrance. Whatever that is hopefully won't be able to find me but sadly I can't hear it either.
I look around both sides of the tree, but I can't see anything anywhere and the only light I'm able count on is the moon and lightning. "Come on Lauren, you can do this." I whisper to myself. I've been living with the Fae for the past 5 years, been treated like a dog for most of those 5 years and I've had the love of my life cheat on me with my arch nemesis, so I can definitely outrun whatever is hiding out in these woods.
"What the hell is going on?" I say to myself, my heart pounding in my chest.
I take one last look and see nothing there, just woods. I take a deep breath and take off running back to the cabin and to where my granddad has a shotgun stashed above the cupboards in the kitchen. I hear a noise behind me and I realize I shouldn't but I take a glance behind me and I see a flash of movement so I pick up my speed. As I turn back around I don't notice the large rock on the ground and go sprawling onto the floor getting covered in mud.
"Ahhh." I feel a sharp pain in my knee and I can feel the warm blood running down my leg, but I push it out of my mind carry on running. I look ahead and see the glowing cabin through the bushes.
I'm almost there.
I feel relief wash over me I nearly break through the sea of trees and bushes.
I'm almost there.
I push past the last of the hedges, ignoring the scratches that I'm gathering on my arms. I run up the driveway hill making the sensor light turn on again. I'm near the cabin, but before I reach the steps I hear growl come from the side of me and then something slamming into me and throwing me backwards sending me onto the wet ground. "What the hell was that?" I try to sit up but before I'm able to I see the flash of white leap into the air and on top of me. The movement turn the sensor on again and what I see on top of me makes my heart stop in my chest. It's...
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

BPOV:
1 WEEK LATER.
3 weeks. 3 whole weeks since I've seen or heard anything from Lauren. 3 weeks of pure hell. Thankfully I know she's safe, she's been in some contact with Hale and Kenz who told me because she saw how much I was going out of my mind not knowing anything about what's going on with Lauren. I've been calling her non-stop for the past 3 weeks, but no surprise she hasn't picked up the phone or returned any of my texts but at least she's back this afternoon and I can finally speak to her about the whole Dyson mistake.
Speaking of Dyson, while Lauren's been away I had a hard and long convocation with him. It took me a while to get the point across that I love Lauren and she's the one I want and need in my life and when she gets back I'm going to do everything in my power to get her back. As no surprise he didn't take the news very well and decided to flip out coffee table and then pace back and forth for at least 20 minutes mumbling about how Lauren always gets in the way and how he can't lose me to a 'low life human'. It took about another 20 minutes for me to calm him down and form a normal sentence. It was at least after midnight before he left and seems to understand that as long as Lauren is in my life we'll never be together. I think he understood that he needs to back off because it's been a few days since I've heard from him, but Hale tells me he's okay, off doing work with his new partner that arrived in town, her name's Tamsin and apparently she's a right fire cracker. But I can't focus on anything other than Lauren, according to Hale she'll be back in a few hours so I'm heading to town to get some things for Lauren. Then I'll find out from Kenzi if she's back and I'll do everything in my power to get my girl back...no matter how long it takes.

It takes me a good 3 hours before I finish and get everything I wanted in town, but everything will be worth it when I see Lauren. I grab all the bags out the back of my car and head into the shack. I hear the T.V on so the door's unlocked, I kick the door open and head in. I come to a stop when I see Kenzi, Hale, Dyson and a blonde woman I've never seen before in my kitchen and they all stop talking when I appear in front of them.
"What's going on here?" I ask resting down the bags.
Kenzi walks over to me with an awkward smile. "Hey Bo Bo. Why don't you come and sit down."
"No, I just want to know what's going on." Kenzi look back to Hale who straightens his tie and makes his way over to me.
"Bo, have you heard anything from Lauren recently?" He asks.
"What? Why would she call me, I thought you were in contact with her." I start to get a sick feeling in my stomach based on the looks on their faces. "What's going on Hale?"
"I call Lauren about 3 times a week, but this week I haven't heard anything from her and any time I try to call her it goes straight to voice mail. Last time I spoke to her was last week and everything was fine, but then the contact just stopped. She was supposed to be home by now Bo, no one's seen her." Hale says sadly.
Oh my god. Oh fuck. Lauren's missing. The love of my life is missing.
I move and sit on the sofas arm chair when I feel my legs shake. "So you have no idea where she is?" I ask Hale and he just shakes his head sadly.
"I'm so sorry Bo, but I'm going to do everything in my power to find her."
Oh god. This is all my fault.
"Have you ever thought she doesn't want to be found?" A snarky voice pipes up from the kitchen. My head snaps over and I see a blonde leaning against my kitchen counter with a smirk plastered on her face.
"And who asked you for your opinion." I growl standing up off the couch. Lauren would never just disappear making everyone worry.
"Actually who the hell are you and why are you in my house?"
"You call this a house?" She smirks again.
I make a move towards her but Dyson stands in front of me. "Calm down Bo, this is Tamsin my new partner. She's here to help." He tells me putting a hand on my shoulder but I push it off.
"I don't give a fuck who she is. She better watch her mouth." I hiss feeling myself lose control slightly.
Lauren would never just up and leave. Especially as she's been in contact with Hale and Kenzi, she wouldn't make them worry so much about her like that, she has a pure heart. Not like me.
"Hey calm down Bo Bo, we'll get your girl back." Kenzi says rubbing my back.
"Yeah, we will. Where did she go Hale?" I turn around asking him.
"I told you I don't know where she is." He tells me with wide eyes.
"No. Where did she go during these 3 weeks?" I'll start there and figure out what the hell happened to my girl.
"She didn't really tell me Bo. All she said was going to stay at an old family cabin, but I've really got no idea where it is, she didn't tell me where it was located."
The cabin.
I remember Lauren telling me about the amazing family cabin that she used to spend time at as a kid. We would talk about going there all the time. Lauren would tell me about the beautiful lake not too far from the cabin where we could go skinny dipping, the wrap around porch with a rocking chair where we can cosy up and watch the sun rise or sun set.
"I know where she went." I say running towards my weapon stash in the kitchen. I grab out two small blades and put them in each shoe. I also grab a large knife and place it in my thigh knife holster.
"You coming Kenz?" As soon as those words leave my mouth she springs into action pulling on her knee high boots and grabbing her samurai sword from where she leaves it on the mantel piece in the living room.
"We're all coming Bo." Dyson says. "Who knows what's gone on up there."
"Okay, well if you insist on coming you and Barbie can take your truck and follow me and I'll take Kenzi and Hale." I tell him getting a scoff from Tamsin.
We all head out. I hop in my car with Hale in the back and Kenzi in the passenger seat while Dyson and the new bitch get into his truck. I start the engine and think back to when Lauren told me about the cabin. From here it should only be a couple hours away as it's not rush hour and it's mainly back roads after the highway.
I'm coming Lauren.

We've been driving for what seems like hours when just ahead of me I see two large boulders shaped like large breasts with nipples. I know it sounds stupid but Lauren would always talk and joke about them and how seeing those at such a young age must have made her a lesbian and boob lover. By seeing them I know that we're here. I turn down the long drive way and past the boob boulders. Soon a beautiful two story cabin comes into view and Lauren's black Audi, maybe she is still here. I don't even bother shutting the engine off I just jump out the car and sprinting into the cabin, ignoring Kenzi and Hales shouts for me to wait.
"LAUREN. LAUREN YOU IN HERE?" I shout storming into the cabin, but I get no reply, I look around the room and see her laptop on a coffee table with a glass of wine and dirty plate, I spot her phone on the arm of the sofa but it's dead so I pocket it. I head up the stairs to see if she could be up there, I notice a door open so I head inside. There's a double bed with crumpled sheets and a suitcase at the bottom of the bed. I see on the bed side table Laurens black and red hairbrush and her phone charger in the wall. She was definitely here.
"Where are you Lo?" I whisper to myself sitting down on the bed and pulling her pillow into my lap and holding it up against my face, I take a deep breath and smell her strawberry shampoo. I remember the night we would just lay in bed together, holding each other close, I would always burying my face into her head and neck and just breathing her in.
"Bo. We found something, you should come down." Kenzi tells me appearing at the door. She gives me a sad smile and turns back downstairs.
I put the pillow back and head downstairs after Kenzi. I join everyone outside and see them all stood in a huddle whispering and when I arrive they stop, just like back at the clubhouse.
"What's going on?" I ask looking at Kenzi and Hales solemn faces.
Kenzi grabs my hand and takes a deep breath. "When you went searching the house Dyson said he could smell something odd. We went searching out here and there was blood Bo, over by the corner of the cabin. Dyson said there were two scents, Laurens and something else...something not human, but he didn't recognize it. The smells went into the forest but it just disappeared. The trail just vanished into thin air or something." She tells me with tears in her eyes and I just stand in shock listening.
"You sure it was Lauren?" I ask Dyson and he looks away from me.
"I SAID ARE YOU SURE IT WAS HER?" I shout pushing him in the chest making him stumble back. Kenzi and Hale pull me back as Dyson just nods his head. "It was her scent Bo and there's no one else here but us. I'm sorry."
"Show me the blood." I tell them.
"Bo what will that do?" Kenz asks gently.
"Show me."
Kenzi grabs my hand and takes me to the far end of the cabin. We come to a stop in front of the woods, I look down and see the gravel on the floor scattered with holes as if there was a struggle and dried red stains on the floor.
"No, no, no, no, no." I drop to the ground, my knees buckling under me and the tears running freely.
"I'm so sorry baby." I sob as Kenzi gets on the ground next to me, holding me close but I don't want her, I just want Lauren.
"I'm so sorry."
It's my fault. I killed her. I killed Lauren.
A/N: Dun, dun, dun ;) Hope you liked it, the next chapter should be up in a few days :D
Know its a bit jumpy and there isn't a lot of detail with Laurens 'Death' scene but I didn't really want to drag it out and make you all wait any longer because the good stuff is to come ;)
ALSO if you haven't seen Sense8 (the show Lauren was watching) I would definitely suggest it...so good :)
