Summary: What if Kenzi had to give something up in the end to get Dyson's Love back from The Norn. What if she had given something up that had been the most precious thing about her; that made everyone care for her all the more.
Chapter Two
Kenzi opened her eyes as she felt a cold cloth on her forehead and met the concerned eyes of Trick. She tried to smile but all she did was grimace as agony racked her body.
"Hey Urchin." He smiled for once leaving his tough attitude out the door and took care of her.
"Yo. Trickmister." She spoke hoarsely to him as he wiped her forehead with the wet cloth.
"Don't worry we're going to find out who did this and than you'll be you alright." He nodded his head, "Cause come on you little urchin, I have to have someone around to steal all my alcohol." He smirked as she chuckled weakly.
"You can not stop this. Its because of The Norn." She spoke in a daze as he froze and looked at her in alarm.
"What the hell kind of deal did you make and do not give me that bullshit answer you have given everyone else in this misfit family." Trick ordered with a stern look down to the female.
"It was more of what I willing gave up." She whispered as a tear leaked from her eye and down her face as he looked at her in horror and concern.
"What did you give up exactly?" He spoke with a forced calm tone cause if it was bad than he was going to kick The Norn's ass, Bo's ass and along with Dyson's ass.
Outside
"How's lil mama?" Asked Hale with a worried look as he stood there in the Dal with Dyson as both had literally dropped everything and rushed over after the call from Lauren.
"Tricks with her now." Murmured Bo as she was pacing none stop around the room with a worried look.
"Bo, she said earlier that she wanted to go to Papa's. How come we did not take her to her father's like she wanted?" Lauren asked with a frown towards the female causing the others to look at her.
"That's what Trick is to her and she is the only one allowed to call him that." Dyson spoke with a small glare to the human female as she huffed at him.
Everyone looked up as Trick came walking out with a grave look upon his face as he stared at them all but shot Bo a glare to cease her pacing.
"Trick?" Hale spoke with a concerned look as the male sat down with his grave look
"What do you all know about her talk with The Norn?" He asked with a glare to them all as they all shook their heads saying that knew nothing else, "A deal was made." He stated as horror flashed across their faces
"Trick?" Muttered Bo as she looked directly at the male as he sighed deeply and looked like he wanted to smack one of them, "What deal was made?" she demanded more strongly shifting her gaze onto the door that led to her baby sister.
"It was more of a sacrifice on her part. She had to give something up in return for Dyson's love just so he could go and save you." Trick glowered at the wall not looking at any of them he could not believe on what she had given up for them both.
"What did she give up?" Dyson pushed from the wall and looked directly at the male that has been his friend for a long time. He felt sick to his stomach as Trick looked up at him with a grave look and sighed deeply.
With Kenzi
She shivered and shifted only to moan some in pain but was confused as she felt a dainty soft hand touching her cheek before blinking open her eyes slowly. Only to gasp in shock as she saw the Lightening Bird, Clarice.
"Oh child." She whispered softly with a soft trilling sound in her tone as she stroked her cheek.
"I guess I wont be able to see you after this." She whispered as they both had kept in contact with one another cause the Lightening Bird had grown fond of her.
"Non, don't say such things child. I can make myself visible to you if I so wish and you can bet on it that I will. Now sleep more and rest child." Clarice watched as the selfless female closed her eyes before she stood.
She was going to be having words with those gretins in the room upstairs. They would all learn what happens when you mess with someone that has the favor of a Lightening Bird. She disappeared from the room and reappeared before them all with a crack of lightening making Dyson jump back cause he had been starting to go down there.
"Oh shit." Trick spoke as he spotted the being that let no one but humans see her ever. To see her here an now though meant nothing good.
"Indeed. Why I have come to find the one with my favor deadly ill in your domain, Trickster?" Clarice glowered at the male as lightening frizzled all around her as she placed her hands on her hips.
"She made a trade with The Norn for me. I never wanted for her to do it." Dyson spoke knowing that lying to the female would only cause a chaos in the room.
"You none know what she has done. She is a selfless one that one. Such a youngling but brave and selfless." Sighed Clarice softly with a look of sadness upon her face.
"Who are you exactly?" Demanded Lauren of the female causing her to glare at her with a dark look.
"Enough Lauren. This is High Queen Clarice, Queen of the all the Birds of Fae. Thunder, Sun, Earth, Ect, ect ect." Trick spoke silencing the human with a glare as she took a step back from them some and hide behind Bo a little.
Dyson moved past them all and walked down the stairs. He paused as he saw her on the couch with her slick from sweat and water. Moving silently, he sat down beside her and grabbed her hand gently before he smoothed some of her hair away from her face. He stared down at the female that had given up so much for him and the others. He watched as she shifted and opened her eyes up towards him.
"Hey, D-Man." She smiled but winced as pain hit her dead causing him to frown some before he smoothed her hair back again.
"Hey shorty." He managed out as he felt guilty on what she had given up for him to have his Love back so he could go and save Bo.
"Trickmister told you." She sighed as he squeezed her hand in his own as he looked down listening to her heart beat.
"He did. Why?" He asked with a rough tone as he fought with everything in him. His wolf was snarling and pissed beyond belief. Cause he was the Alpha and it was his job to protect everyone in their misfit family no matter what. But here Kenzi was protecting them all and saving them again.
"Cause you were there when I needed someone to be there for me. You were there by my side when I was dying cause of the Foot Soup an were there when I was locked in the trunk." She spoke softly to him as he looked at her with a deep sadness washing across his face.
"No, Kenz, I am not worth it. Especially with what you gave up for me." He spoke with sorrow looking down to the female that was becoming to mean everything to him. He was shocked though as she reached up and smacked him upside the head weakly with a glare.
"Shut up, Dyson. Just shut up. You are worth it. You were there for me, when I was dying like I said. You have tried to protect me by saying that I was just a human and yet you still stood up for me even though you did not have too. You have saved me more times than I can count! You. Are. Worth. It. No matter what anyone damn well says about it!" She snapped softly at him before her face softened as she laid back down coughing.
"You might be just the strongest person I know." He gave her a sad smile as she beamed up at with a tired look as he gently stroked her cheek again now that she was calmed down. If she was a wolf; she would have made a perfect Alpha female. Always looking out for others and helping them all even if it meant her life.
"Thanks. Now go and see the others. Tell them I am fine with my choice. I gave up what I did for someone that means allot to me. No matter what they think." She whispered as she closed her eyes feeling tired and was burning up even more.
"I will. You will not die." He muttered as he brushed a kiss over her sweaty forehead in a reassuring way. He stood up looking at the female and wondered what The Norn had planned for her before he turned and walked back up the stairs.
"How is she doing?" Asked Bo with a concerned look for her human friend down stairs.
"Burning up but still having a spit-fire give em' all hell attitude." He chuckled weakly as the others gave weak smiles at this.
"Something is wrong." Clarice stood to her full height before disappearing as the others heard a blood curling scream of agony.
They all booked it down the stairs and stopped as they saw Kenzi was on her knees griping her sides as a blinding light filled the room causing them all to look away from her knelt form. She released one last scream of agony. They heard something was tearing and Kenzi's gasp of pain before the room exploded in brilliant rays of light and a wave of power washed over them all. As they slowly opened their eyes; gasps were heard as they saw Kenzi kneeling form on the ground.
But what had them gasping was the pearl gray with emerald green feathers here and there were seven feet in length and four feet in height pair of wings. Her hair now went down to her waist with a natural wave and had added in natural peal gray and emerald green highlights. They watched as she stood up and looked at them with her now pearl gray eyes with added flecks of emerald green. She stood now about five foot and seven inches.
"By the Elders." whispered Clarice in shock at what The Norn had done to the once human female. She given up her humanity to become an Angelic Fae of the Earth. She was going to be worshiped by all even by the The Ash and The Morrigan.
"What the hell." Kenzi's voice was now a smoothed honeyed husky tone as she looked into the mirror and saw her appearance.
"What did they do to her?" Bo asked with fear as she saw the way her once human friend looked now.
"They took her humanity and turned her into an Angelic Fae of the Earth. What the hell is The Norn playing at. Cause there has not been one like her in nearly a thousand years." Hale spoke with a shocked tone as he stared at his baby adopted sister.
Dyson looked at Kenzi as she touched one of her wings with awe upon her face. He hadn't expected this, he had expected The Norn to turn her into something else or even kill her but turn her into something that even The Ash and The Morrigan would become afraid of. Walking over he gently ran his fingers over one of the wings causing her to yelp and jump away shocking the others.
"Dude not cool. Fucking wings are sensitive here, Wolf-Man." She muttered as the others chuckled but were shocked a she lunged forward and hugged him, "See, I told you everything would turn out okay. I now have have awesome looking wings and my hair is not too shabby either." She grinned cheekily at him causing Hale to laugh an the others to sigh in relief at her words.
"Good. Cause if not than The Norn was going to get a visit from the Big Bad wolf." He muttered as he patted her head causing her to laugh at their personal joke as she had worn red once around him and joked about Little Red Ridding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.
"See child. Everything is just fine now." Clarice walked forward and pulled the female into her arms kissing her forehead before she disappeared from the room with a strike of lightening.
"So, Kenzi not soo human anymore but still my best friend?" Bo walked forward with a concerned look but was happy as the female jumped into her arms and hugged her.
"Of course you are my bestest-bestie in the whole world! Who else am I going to get into trouble with or have life or death suitations along with getting scolded by D-Man and Trickmister. Who else is going to be my partner in crime?" Kenzi spoke in duh tone as she pulled back from hugging her causing the others to laugh before she swayed some.
"I think you need to sleep. Whatever they did too you has made you tired." Bo spoke steadying in her friend as Hale took her from her and laid her down on the couch gently.
"Sleep sounds good to me." She murmured as her eyes drooped but she looked over to Dyson as he sat beside her and she smiled as figured he was going to stay beside her like he did when she had been sick with the Foot Soup.
