Kenzi walked in to the club house a few hours later, slightly drunk and very ready for bed. Moving in to the living room, she was surprised to see Bo sitting on the couch, staring off in to space.

"Yo Bo Bo, whatchya doing? I thought you were going to meet us at the Dal?"

"Sorry Kenz, I wasn't really in the mood to go drinking," the succubus replied, her voice small in the dark room.

Kenzi looked down at the 3 beers and half empty bottle of vodka in front of her and nodded her head. "Okaaaay. So really Bo, what is going on?"

Bo looked up at her friend and sighed. "I don't know Kenzi. I finally find out what I am, finally stop killing people; you would think that would make me happy. I just still feel like I don't belong, the fae world is so different, so wrong to me. I feel like I am missing something, that I am still so lost."

Kenzi sat down on the couch next to Bo and wrapped her in a big hug. "I know Bo. This is a crazy world you live in and not being raised in it makes it seem all the worse. Just give it time. You still have a lot to learn. And besides, you have me, the most awesome best friend anyone could ever want. I'm with you through it all Bo."

Bo smiled, though a few tears slid down her cheek. Hugging Kenzi back, she replied "I know Kenzi. I don't know what I would do without you. Thank you."

"You would be a sad little succubus without me! Now let's get some sleep and see if we can't stir up some trouble tomorrow. I have a lead on a new case - that should take your mind off of everything."

Getting up to put her empty bottles in the kitchen, she surprised Kenzi with a hug. "Thanks again Kenzi, you really are the best."

"And don't you forget it! See you in the morning Bo Bo," the little goth sang out as she moved up the stairs to her room. Bo took one deep steadying breath before following after her.

After using the bathroom and stripping out of her leathers, Bo plopped down on the bed and stared at the cracks in the ceiling. What was she doing? Feeding off fae had stopped her from killing, but now she felt trapped since she couldn't leave them. She still had no way of controlling her hunger around humans which meant she was beholden to them as her food source. There was no way she was going to let herself hurt another human again. She just wanted to feel safe and at home again. She wanted a normal life, the one she dreamed about before her life went to hell – the picket fence, the kids, the dog, the loving husband or wife. Maybe she was crazy for wanting that, or thinking she could have that as a succubus, but hell if she wasn't going to fight like hell to get it.

Shockingly to Bo, the image of the Morrigan from earlier that day flashed into her mind. Bo couldn't deny she was attracted to the woman, she was beautiful despite her title, and Bo was still of course a succubus. But the look in her eye when Bo accepted her deal gave her pause. She still couldn't quite put her finger on it what exactly it was. That and her reaction to Dyson led her to think there was more to the Morrigan than she knew. She had only ever met the previous Morrigan, Evony, briefly at her Choosing, and she hated that woman's guts. But Evony was cold in a way this new Morrigan wasn't. Maybe it was her eyes, but Bo sensed she was going to be seeing more of the Dark fae leader. And while she still mad as hell, she couldn't stop her mind from wandering back to her molten chocolate eyes and the thought of losing herself in them for hours.

Shaking her head to clear her mind from thoughts she knew would bring no good, she crawled under the covers to finally get some sleep.

Tomorrow is another day, she thought.

Bo stumbled down the stairs at 11 am the next morning feeling like she went toe to toe with an ogre last night. She knew Kenzi would be up soon, so she set to making them some coffee. She briefly considered making breakfast, but a quick look in the fridge dashed that dream.

Sure enough as soon as the aroma of coffee had permeated the house, a bleary eyed Kenzi stumbled down the stairs and poured herself onto one of the kitchen stools. Grabbing the mug Bo set in front of her, she inhaled deeply and let out a big sigh. "I think I may just marry you."

Bo chuckled. "Marry me or the coffee?"

"The coffee of course, you know I don't swing your way!"

Bo rolled her eyes. "Yes, I know. So tell me about this case you have that is going to take my mind off of my troubles."

"Bo, can we stop for a second. I know you want to find your mom and I know you are pissed about the whole Luanne thing, but you need to be more careful. I hate to say it, but the walking fur ball is right, there are lots of dangerous things out there, and it isn't worth getting yourself killed for. I will be pissed myself if you died and left me here to fend for myself."

Bo frowned. "I know that Kenzi, I do. I just need answers and I don't know where to turn anymore. I have annoyed the Ash and half the Light fae already. The only ones left are the Dark."

"Yeah, well why don't you go ask your new girlfriend the Morrigan?"

Bo's eyes widened. "My girlfriend? What the heck are you talking about Kenzi?"

"Oh puh-lease. Like I didn't see you two having eye-sex in the theatre last night. If D-Man wasn't there I would have told you two to get a room."

"You are crazy Kenzi. There was no eye sex, or sex of any kind, going on."

"Whatever you say BoBo."

Bo looked thoughtful. "Though, being leader of the Dark she probably has access to all kinds of information. I wonder if she could help me find my mom."

Kenzi did a palm plant to her forehead. "Did you not hear anything I just said about dangerous people out there? I think the Morrigan is high on that list."

"I don't know Kenzi….she could have easily killed us all yesterday, but she didn't. There is something different about her I can't quite put my finger on. But I don't think she would hurt me for asking her some questions."

"She could hurt you just for fun!"

"I'll think about it Kenzi. Now do you want to tell me about this new case or not?"

"Fine, but don't think I don't know that you are changing the subject," Kenzi glared at her friend. She knew that once Bo got an idea in her head it she wouldn't let it go. She just prayed this wasn't a deadly one.
