A bit short for this chapter but just wanted to get another one up to see how many more reviews I can get. I'm addicted to them! LOL enjoy. Not beta'd so be gentle. Once chapters are beta'd I will update all chapters with new versions.
Dyson and Trick were speechless. Lauren had just revealed to them that Kenzi's blood sample had markers that were found in Fae blood.
"How is this possible?" Dyson questioned. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Kenzi was Fae, but how? He had lived for centuries and had never heard of a human turning into a Fae.
"She's not entirely Fae yet its seems that her body is going through some form of transition. When I was going over the results of her blood, the blood cells and some enzymes actually resembled those in your system, Dyson." Dyson gave a quick turn of his head to look at the doctor. The look of utter shock on his face sent Lauren into another explanation.
"After further research I discovered that the fox Fae left lingering cells in Kenzi's DNA. What I believe happened is that after you and Bo saved her she had extended dermal contact with you and because of that contact she absorbed enough of your cells to begin a transition into a Fae." Dyson and Trick continued to look at Lauren as she explained everything.
"So you're saying because I carried her out of the cave, that somehow has turned her into a Fae." Dyson exclaimed. Internally he was battling against his wolf that was elated by the news that another wolf was emerging and could become part of his pack.
"What I'm saying Dyson, is that out of all the theories I could come up with that is the only one that is not completely insane." Lauren stated as calmly as she could.
Dyson just sat there thinking to himself about what he was going to do next. He hadn't imagined any of it, he should have trusted his wolf's instincts they had never lead him astray. He only had a few options now, if she truly was turning into a wolf Fae like himself, she would need a pack to help her with the transition. After all he was born into a pack he had never heard of anyone becoming a wolf Fae so this was all new territory to him.
"Trick what will it take to perform the ritual to bring Kenzi into my pack?" Dyson enquired.
"Well I have all I need her in my study but you will need her to willingly accept the induction. Why do you want her to … ah your worried about what will happen to her after the transition happens and that her wolf will act out without proper training from a pack mentality." Trick said.
"Yes, I was born into my pack and was able to understand my wolf side. Kenzi is going to start thinking she's going insane with the wolf presence in her head. I need to have her become part of my pack in order to train her and teach her about her wolf side." Dyson said determinedly.
"I need to speak to Kenzi." Dyson stood to leave when Kenzi and Bo came through the bar doors.
"What does a Kenz have to do to get a drink up in here?" Kenzi said grinning from ear to ear. She looked over at the bar and was caught off guard as she caught sight of the intense look in Dyson's eyes. A shiver ran up her spine as her mind started pacing back and forth anxious to get near Dyson.
Dyson could tell precisely when Kenzi entered the room. The temperature seemed to raise to uncomfortable levels, making him wonder why he was wearing his vest tonight. The moment their eyes connected his wolf let out a low growl as it recognized that this was the one that needed to be in it's pack. Dyson gave a small sniff but it was enough for him to inhale her scent. Her scent was familiar with the usual lavender and leather but there was another smell that was slowly becoming stronger, a more natural smell like being in the woods.
Trick was the first to speak, which brought Kenzi and Dyson out of their stare down. "Kenzi we need to talk. It seems that your encounter with the fox Fae has done something to you."
Kenzi tore her eyes off Dyson and look at Trick, "What do you mean Trickster? Am I alright?" She turned towards Lauren with questioning eyes.
"After your lab work came back I discovered something odd about your blood samples. The experience has changed your molecular structure in to that of a Fae, a wolf Fae to be more specific." Lauran explained as if reading from a textbook.
Kenzi's mind was racing with thoughts. She was becoming Fae? How is that even possible? Wolf Fae? Like Dyson? She instantly looked up into his eyes once more.
"A Fae? Like you wolf man?" Kenzi voiced barely above a whisper. Dyson merely nodded.
"Well hot damn that's great news!" Kenzi exclaimed.
"Now wait a minute Kenzi. Trick, Lauren, is this even possible and are we sure it's a good thing?" Bo asked with concern lacing her words.
"I should do more tests but yes it is possible however improbably as it may seem her cells are stable and seem to be changing at a pace her human body can transition without any pain it would seem." Lauren explained.
Dyson continued to watch her as she spoke back and forth with Bo and Lauren about going down to the lab and getting a few more tests done. He needed to talk to her and see if she has been feeling some of the same things he has since her change started.
"I'll take her down there Bo, I think you and Trick need to speak about the dawning. I can get her down there and back home tonight." Dyson interjected while they were speaking to each other.
Kenzi looked at Dyson and realized that he was going to grill her about what had been happening to her. She really didn't want to sit in a car all alone with Dyson with the dream from last night still fresh in her mind.
"That's alright D-man, I can just catch a ride with Lauren. Right Doc?" Kenzi asked and throw a friendly elbow into the doctor's side.
"Um yea that's not a problem. I can drop you off after we are done." Lauren said.
"None sense Lauren, you are doing all your lab work from home currently right?" Dyson asked. Lauren gave a reluctant nod. Whatever was happening to Kenzi she obviously didn't want Dyson asking her questions about it or else she wouldn't have been so keen on just going with the doctor alone. Lauren felt she had to try and help Kenzi out in this situation.
"Yes that is correct Dyson, but I will more than likely want to observe Kenzi while she sleeps in order to see how this change effects her sleep habits, so I will just stay at their place tonight so it's no bother." Lauren explained as self confident as she could since the sleep tests were unnessacry at this point in her examinations of Kenzi. Kenzi looked at the doctor with a smirk implying that she felt the doctor covered that lie well.
"Well there you have it. Bo go talk with your grand dad over their about your coming of age. Oh how they grow up so fast." Kenzi grinned while pinching Bo's cheek. "And the doctor will get me all tested up again and come back to the crib and watch me sleep later tonight all creepy stalker like." She threw her arm around the doctor and was moving out the door before Dyson could even reply.
Dyson stood quickly with a low growl in his throat but didn't want to act out especially since he still didn't understand what was happening. All he knew was that the more time Kenzi and he didn't talk about this change the more his wolf would fight for control in more than one way it would seem.
"Thanks for getting me out of there Doc." Kenzi said as she pressed her forehead against the cool window as Lauren drove them to her place.
"May I ask what that was all about?" Lauren enquired.
Kenzi looked out the window and wondered how it would feel to place her head just a little bit out the window and catch all the smells as they drove. The thought distracted her from the conversation and brought up a small whine in her voice.
"Um Kenzi? Are you feeling all right? What are you feeling right now?" Lauren questioned ever the doctor.
"I currently want to lower this stupid window and feel the wind from outside and smell what is out there and … wait a minute did I really just say that? What am I a dog?" Kenzi said while backing away from the window as if it had lepersy.
"Well Kenzi wolves are the closest species link to the common canine. So I wouldn't say it's out of the realm of possibility that you have some of the same instinct. Listen I am not a wolf expect but I'm sure you can ask Dyson, that is if everything is alright between you two." Lauren tried to probe Kenzi for any answers she was willing to give up.
"Yea … yea of course everything is great between us. Five by five." Kenzi said a little over enthusiastic. She sat in silence for a moment.
"Ok doc, can I be real with you for a mo'?" Kenzi asked.
"Of course you can tell me anything the more I understand the better I and everyone else can help you with this transition you are going through." Lauren said.
"Ok so I thought I was crazy and I mean I still do but there seems to be like another person or something in my head. At first I thought it had something to do with the whole sitch I went through. I mean it has only been a day now but it didn't start until after the got me out of that dump." Kenzi explained.
"Well with what I understand about your change right now, you are turning into a wolf type Fae. So the feeling you have, is it more like a presence? Like a conscience?" Lauren questioned.
"Well now that you explain it that way, yes that's exactly what it feels like but it's not really into telling me anything specific. Just kind of a tingle of emotion or a thought that isn't really there but is. It's kind of jacked." Kenzi explained.
"That sounds like your wolf is aligning itself with your mind and slowly causing you to have more instincts than you previous had as a human. Think of it as a second set of eyes and eyes and in some causes even nose that is involuntarily picking up on emotions and reactions of your surroundings in order to make you more observant without your entire concentration." Lauren said.
