"Come on, you son of a …," the dwarf was growling aloud as he worked his shoulder against a large boulder, pushing the heavy mass just few more inches into place. As he felt his muscles tense with effort, it wasn't the first time he missed the presence of his young friend Hyde. Not only did the older fae miss the boy's amazing fae skills but he was always a good man to work with. Yes, the Stoneling was quick with a helpful hand or a comment to take your mind off something that was vexing you. Bryan's work at the entrance to the rock road had been all about finding time to sort out his feelings, sort out his guilt.
The boulder Bryan was working on was the last of the bracing components to a Dwarven arch. A bit of old dwarfish know-how, an ancient form of protection and warning to those who might try to tamper with his rock road. Sliding down to rest his back against the massive stone, he pulled out his water skin and took a long drink. The snuffling of the massive nose that appeared over the dwarf's shoulder spoke to the thirst of his working companion. The great beast was doing his part by pulling the large stones from where Bryan found them to the work site.
"All right," the dwarf said as he reached up and gave the horse a pat. "But this little bit of water is not enough for you." With a grunt he pushed up and started to walk down the narrow strip of land that made up the riding path. The duo was no longer working directly in front of the doorway to the rock road itself but had moved to a secondary position farther down the path. The new location was still a walk from anything the grand beast could easily drink from.
"There you go," said Bryan as he leapt from the path to a large stone just off to the side allowing room for the massive animal to pass. A small fresh water spring flowed down one side of the canyon, it pooled near the end of the land feature where it rushed into a cave like depression in the rock. In layman's terms the phenomena was called a sink. Instead of being blocked for good, the stream only slowed at the pool and then moved beyond the rock wall traveling underground.
Strange thing was no one knew where the rise was, the rise being the location where the water that entered the sink resurfaced. Bryan had no way to know that Hilde had hinted to Lauren that she knew of the sink when the doctor had first purchased the property. The two women had not spent time discussing the little mystery. The acquisition of the additional land too new to explore fully, and both women had been preoccupied with other things.
The spring and its constant flow of water had to be the reason the canyon even existed. Erosion over time moving bits of soil away and more than likely to the flats that formed the land Lauren's farm was built on. The small pool by the base of the rock cliff side was the only natural body of water large enough to quench the big horse's refreshment needs.
Bryan smiled as he made his way across the boulders in his own little race against the horse to reach the water pool first. He never could beat the beast but, what the hell, he could always try. As horse arrived at the water first once again, the dwarf looked to the side preparing to make a particularly long jump between stones. The leap successful, Bryan looked back up and was surprised to find the big animal just standing at the small pool of cool liquid but not yet drinking.
Bryan did not speed up or slow down, the old fae just moved from stone to stone to finish his approach. He had taken in the flat ears of the animal and it's shifting hooves both signs of discomfort or unease in the big animal. Something wasn't right and Bryan was glad he still had his ax hammer hanging on his belt. The tool looked like a modern roofing hammer, half ax half hammer, and all kinds of ugly if you were hit by any part of it. Making it to the ground and walking to the animal, he said with a false cheeriness to his voice, "Well big guy, I guess it's true you can lead a horse to water but…"
"Stop your talking dwarf," Stepping from a heavily covered brush area, a Redcap with an unpleasant glint in his eye began his approach. "What are you doing here?" the large fae's eyes catching the arch in the background and furrowing his brows. "I think my master should talk to you about all this."
"Well now, I am a most important individual. I believe I have an hour or two open next Monday. Tell the little man to give me a ring." Bryan smiled and patted the side of the big animal who was now very unhappy. When Bryan reach to up to grab the side of the bridle the horse pulled away and shook his head in annoyance. The animal was readying itself for battle and would not be tethered with a chance for action so near. The dwarf grumbled under his breath. Warriors of any species exasperated him to no end.
The Redcap, who was oozing blood from this head, frowned at the insult to his master. The fae in front of him had no way to know who the master was and to be called a "little man" by a dwarf was an insult on every level. Bryan noticed the large thug for hire looked to be more than a little worse for wear. The blood dripping from his skull was not from a wound but instead something that happened when that fae species was in or just had been in a fight of some sort.
"You're dripping young one. Take a moment and clean yourself up or this horse will take it upon himself to stomp you to death." Bryan said in all seriousness. "This is a war horse from the Grand Lord's stables and blood is a trigger…"
"Shut your trap, Little Man." He stretched out the insult and lumbered forward. "I think my master must have some use for a dead dwarf and a bit of horse flesh. Killing you might turn our luck and make this hunt worth our time after all. Maybe this Grand Lord of yours will pay a price for the return of this flea bag." The long thin dagger of the Redcap was dark as night but the sharp edge flashed not to be missed. "Run if you want," grinned the fae, "I need something to take the edge off."
In a flash Bryan's ax hammer slammed into the big fae's chest. It struck in the man's body, the metal of the ax holding firm, the handle hang down and blade slicing through the thick, worn leather of the large fae's vest. Swallowing hard Bryan winced as he watched his attacker reach up and pull the metal blade from his body and toss the tool to the ground. "Like that hurt." The Redcap rumbled menacingly, "Want to throw anymore toys at me." The blood from his scalp trickled down his cheek and filled the man's thin smile to redden the flash of sharp white teeth. The wound in the massive chest trickling its own crimson stream only adding to the disturbing scene.
"Crap," was all Bryan could think to say as he slapped the horse to make it bolt, "Get out of here." The battle ride ignored the command and just reared up instead. Bringing feet back to the ground with a splash and then lunging forward with huge hooves reaching out and then slamming them to the Earth in defiance of the threat. Bracing for the Redcap's onslaught, Bryan fought to ready his body. His heart almost jumped out of his chest as the snarling gray blur of a gigantic wolf nailed the fae attacker in the side interrupting the assault on his person.
The dwarf did not get a real good look at what happened next as the horse jerked to the side at the appearance of the wolf and knocked him to the ground. Just by luck and years of learning to expect the reactions of such animals, Bryan moved quickly to avoid the crushing hooves and grabbed the reins. Standing quickly he whispered a battle command that stilled the horse in a heartbeat. Turning with his club now in his hand, the dwarf found his services were not needed. The wolf with blood matted fur shook himself over the still body of the Redcap. With a low growl the enormous grey beast walked into the small pool and submerged himself in the water. In seconds, Dyson in human form broke the surface.
"Damn man, you about gave me a heart attack." Breathed Bryan and the horse he held snorted in agreement. As Dyson stood and moved out of the water the dwarf rolled his eyes and opened a saddlebag and tossed the man a set of pants and a tunic-like shirt. "Shifters," the dwarf muttered as Dyson moved to pull on the dwarf's second best pair of pants commando. "Don't be giving those back until you wash them." He made a waving motion with his hand towards the naked man starting to dress at the side of the small pool.
With a tired grin, Dyson said, "No problem," he looked down as the pants hit him just an inch or so below the knee. Shrugging he pulled on the shirt and enjoyed the feel of being covered in human form. The last forty-eight hours had been a constant struggle. Dyson had only been human for about an hour total. He loved the wolf but he needed a break to let his human side free and gather his thoughts.
Having had seen the hints of battle on the Redcap and now on Dyson, Bryan had to ask, "What the hell is going on?" After all he had only been gone at most two days and he was only about seven miles away from the farm house at any given time. With a sudden rush of worry, "Kenzi, she's not… you're here and she's not …"
"Easy man," said Dyson with unconvincing confidence to his tone. "She has the farm house locked down and is protected." It had been two days since he had seen her. The wolf had no way to know if she or Tamsin was alive but he told himself he would feel it in his heart if Kenzi was in immediate danger. The wolf also knew that Kenzi was the most resourceful person in the world and could take care of herself and anyone in her care.
"What is it then? Why are you here? Why was he here?" at the last part the dwarf pointed towards the body on the ground.
"Tamsin came with a warning that a small group of druids were after Kenzi." Dyson said as he sat down and brushed a hand through his wet hair and gave himself a shake, the motion had a very canine look to it and the dwarf had to wonder about the man's state of mind.
"Why didn't you come for me?" ask Bryan feeling that he might not have been trusted to be there and could not keep the question from blurting out.
"Honestly," said Dyson, "We thought we could handle it. Tamsin has a way of convincing me that …" Dyson shrugged, "We were wrong and by the time we realized it there was no time to search you out. They weren't just after Kenzi, they came in numbers to hunt the new realm." Bryan thought back on the words of his attacker and felt his anger surge. The wolf continued before Bryan could comment. "Kenzi proved her skill as a master druid by holding off their attack but her protection charm has her trapped in the farm house. Tamsin may or may not be … hurt," the word alive hung in the air. "And I have been on the run for two days trying to get ahead of them."
With a sigh, the wolf continued, "I have been on the run as has every living thing on the property. The pixies, the gnomes, the sprites and the rest, so far there have been no major losses, just a few injuries." Dyson smiled as flashes of memory drifting through his mind. The various species of fae had been so successful at avoiding the Druids and their hunters, over and over again foiling their plans and giving back much worse than they received. The wolf sighed and continued, "The druid group and the mercenaries they brought in are getting angry and frustrated. It is making them more destructive and dangerous."
Whistling low Bryan was deep in thought as he walked to retrieve his ax hammer and rinsed it in the pool of water. "How did you make it out here? This part of the properties is not really realm ready and away from the farmhouse."
"That lump of a fae was gathering up supplies. The pixie rabbit patrols have been following any one leaving the area. They came upon a stock pile of supplies. This one and others have been looking for dry wood to fuel a massive fire; others have been gathering accelerants, gasoline and the like. My guess is they will try to burn us out tonight with one large overwhelming blaze. They will try to kill us off as we run to put out the fire or try to run away from the blaze. It will cut into their profits killing with fire, damaging the goods so badly, but they don't really care anymore." Dyson reported with a cool detachment.
"All their smaller scale attempts at burning out the various fae colonies have been doused by the sprites before they could do too much damage. The gnomes have handled the traps and poison snares so far, keeping everyone clear. Enfield and I have been on clean up so to speak, but they are wearing us down. Taking down one enemy at a time is slow business. Somehow the lead guy, Marcus, can call out for reinforcements but our communications must be cut off. If Kenzi could call out I'm sure Trick or someone would be here by now." Thinking of the little druid, Dyson smiled knowingly, "She is working on it, but keeping up the protection spell has to be Kenzi's first priority."
"They must be hitting the house hard still. Two days…" Dyson muttered. He had been staring at his hands as he spoke and was surprised when the strong nudge of the horse's nose almost knocked him down. The wolf looked at the animal in surprise.
"He is a battle horse, an old one at that. A veteran of many such situations and recognizes your tone. A tiny war or full fae battle charge, there is really not much difference when you are in the thick of it. I believe he wants you back in the fight solider. That and he wants in on it." Bryan smiled. "I'm afraid I am more of a lover than a fighter." That comment brought a smile to Dyson's face. "However for a good cause I might switch sides."
"We need to get to the farm house. Give Kenzi a chance to concentrate on communications and not protection for a while. If things go bad I have instructed Enfield to tell the other fae to run. Kenzi, Tamsin and Bruce cannot escape so easily. I have stayed away too long and need to get back." With a nod towards one another the men stood.
"Full out charge to the house?" asked Bryan.
"Let's make a plan first, you know just in case." Dyson said seriously. The two put their head together and came up with a few ideas before they moved out.

"How about now?" yelled Tamsin.
With a groan Kenzi returned the yell, "No, Crapballs!" the frustration in her voice evident. The smell of menthol wafted into the room before the beautiful blonde made her appearance. The valkyrie appeared in the front room just in time to see the next round of hexes being flung at the house. Both women held their breath as the violent skittering of energy exploded in every direction including to Kenzi's delight right back at the attackers. There were some yelps of pain and one serious cry for help then all went quiet.
"Serves the bastards right." growled Tamsin. Placing a hand on Kenzi's shoulder she nodded to the little druid. "Well done."
"For now," Kenzi hated the whine that touched her voice, "Tamsin, I am running out of options and we are running Hilde's supply room dry." They both looked over at the large hole in the living room. Kenzi had almost been caught outside the protection spell as she ran for the outside entrance to the cellar. Jumping from the shadows literally, one of Marcus's druid buddies had made a grab for Kenzi. The cloth of her shirt had ripped causing the pursuer to lose his grip and he tumbled to the ground as she dove for the protection of the porch. It had been a close call.
Out of worry and fright, Tamsin and Kenzi had been a little aggressive and made a new entrance, one straight through the floor. It was a short time after that the duo had found the hidden door in the kitchen. They looked at each other and in the stress started to laugh. "It will be sad to live through all of this and then have Lauren and Hilde kill us anyway." Kenzi had said and the two continued to laugh until they cried.
"Look kid, if you can make me smell this bad, you can think of something to hold this place together. I have faith in you." Tamsin gave her a smack on the arm that made Kenzi flinched. "Dyson will be back soon."
"Try the phones again." Kenzi suggested. For the thousandth time Tamsin tried every communication device in the place. She shook her head at the druid. "Nothing."
"Let me try again, maybe if I…" Kenzi was rubbing her temples as she paced
"This is not magic, Kenzi. Marcus has killed the phones with technology somehow. Don't waste your time working it. Keep your mind on the protection spell okay." Tamsin said trying not to make it sound like an order. The ground rules for their survival had been set quickly. Doing things that pissed each other off was good for no one. Giving each other orders had not worked and lead to time wasting arguments. They set out some ground rules. So far they had worked and the duo been a more than successful team, but Kenzi was right time was running out."
The kitchen timer went off. The timer was something they used to keep them from ordering each other around. If they held to an agreed on checklist at the bell all was good. At the chime they would move to the kitchen, drink some water and get a bite to eat. Kenzi would then run up to check on Bruce and Tamsin would do a check of the defenses and the outside situation.
Kenzi finished her few slices of apple swallowing hard. Neither woman felt like eating but it was the agreement. Loosing focus because of hunger would be stupid. With a nod to the valkyrie, she moved quickly up the stairs and towards the room where Bruce was resting. Tamsin moved outside and took in the situation.
Within seconds of Tamsin's appearance outside all hell seemed to break loose. There was a thundering pounding and a powerful yodeling sound. The three druids who had placed themselves in shadows jumped from the darkness and began hurtling hexes at the approaching commotion and the house with renewed intensity. There was a howl and Tamsin did not have to guess that it was Dyson's call. The howl and yodel, the hoof beats and now the detectable drum of hundreds of small feet hitting the ground filled the normally quiet dusk sky. Spinning Tamsin was at a loss of which way to look first.
Marcus yelled into his unblocked satellite phone. "Start the fire now. They are making a run on us. Burn this place down. Be ready for them to come to the fire. Kill everything; we can process whatever is left of the beasties. Call in all the reinforcements, move now. We end this." He pulled his crossbow and fired randomly at the approaching sound. The master druid was at his wits end. For two days he had attacked and hunted the land and had exactly zero for all his expense and efforts.
His people and many of the hired guns had been found dead, one by one taken out. The hundreds of traps he set were silently dismantled and destroyed. Their remnants left in piles circled with rocks. Poisoned food snares where buried deep in the earth and warning sign were left that could not be removed. Fires were put out as soon as they were lit. God the frustration of it all was killing him.
The hunting spells he sent into the woods hit nothing. The attacks of his brother druids on the house fizzled out like impotent firecrackers. He looked like a fool and felt a level of anger he thought impossible for a man in his position. This frontal attack was the answer to his run-away emotions. He continued firing his powerful weapon at the approaching threat, the quiver of arrows seeming to endlessly fill as he shot into the near darkness. "Come to me wolf. Let's end this, now."
Letting out a yell, Tamsin saw the glow of the fire so far away. It spoke to the size of the blaze that she could see it from the house. The bastards were going to burn down the whole place. "Kenzi, we have problems." The valkyrie was not even trying to hide her alarm now.
"More than you know," said Kenzi as she burst onto the porch next to the blonde. "Bruce is gone."
"What?" the shock in Tamsin's voice lost as a huge black horse with bright red eyes burst through the edge of the woods with Bryan on it's back yelling his battle cry and waving a huge club.
"Holy smokes he is heading this way and the protection spell doesn't know him." Kenzi was in a panic. Bryan was going to hit the protection spell in a few moments and he would be hurt badly, maybe killed, by the level of power she had poured into it. "Damn it, Tamsin. I will have to drop the spell. It is the only way to save him." The valkyrie nodded and then pulled her sword. She would be the only protection Kenzi had and as good as she was, Tamsin felt she would not be enough.
"Do it!" Tamsin yelled. Kenzi mumbled a few words and the dry crackle of the spell fell away. The druids who had been firing at Bryan and the horse turned at the change in the energy of the area. The arrows that had been directed at the newcomer began to fly at the house. Tamsin blocked the first volley but just barely.
"Kill them all!" screeched Marcus. The cross hairs of the bows leveled in the direction of the approaching enemy. In a burst of motion, rabbits with small riders shot out of the underbrush in all directions in front of the horse. The master druid faltered unsure where to aim his attack in the mass of movement. Then the roaring anger a wolf was shaking the Earth as Dyson charged into the three druids with a blur of speed knocking them all flat. Holding one of the attackers in his jaws and it was only seconds before the crunch of the man's neck breaking crackled through the air.
Bryan had pulled up the horse and then jumped not to the porch as expected but he jumped to attack a second druid. Lost in the mass of living things that bolted into nearby cover after their sudden appearance, the nearest druid had lost focus for a moment. Not nearly as efficient as the wolf, Bryan took advantage of the situation and attacked. He was relentless with his club and never allowed his target to have time to form a hex or get a shot off. He worked the man backwards then with a fast sweep of his leg took the man to the ground. The huge hoof of the battle horse landed on his mark and the second druid was finished off with a sound that would haunt Bryan the rest of his days.
"You're too late to save her wolf. Good bye and good riddance." Marcus snarked turning his weapon from the wolf, he fired the bolt at Kenzi. He watched as the small dart raced towards his target. Starting to turn away and level his weapon at the wolf and dwarf who watched helplessly Marcus mused, "A couple of fast shots and I'm back in business." A strange voice caught his attention, it made him look back towards the farmhouse.
"Excuse me, Kenzi." Bruce reached out with amazing speed and batted away the small arrow. The ogre was then off the porch and had Marcus by the throat. "Are you the one responsible for taking my wife and child?" Marcus made a squeaky kind of sound in lieu of real words as his oxygen supple dwindled. With swift motion the master druid went from dangling in the air to being implanted into the ground with such force his spine snapped. "Or are you just some idiot trying to kill my best friend?" As the life drifted from the druid master his last thought were on how in the hell his plans had gone so wrong. "I guess it really doesn't matter either way," the ogre's deep rumble filling the surrounding silence as the eyes of his enemy lost their focus in death.
"Bruce!" everyone yelled at once. The big man stood, smiled and then staggered.
"Grab him." yelled Kenzi. Bryan and Dyson had him and they immediately started carrying him to the house. Tamsin ran to the dead man and patted his form down. She pulled out the satellite phone happy to see it was not as broken as it's owner.
After pressing some buttons, the Valkyrie waited and then heard the snapping voice on the other end.
"Who the hell is this?" Vex snapped.
"Hi ya, Lover." cooed a relieved Tamsin.
"Just where the hell have you been and what the hell is going on? Daddy is very worried Pumpkin." Vex was beside himself but the relief in his voice was evident.
With a sigh Tamsin said, "Long story Sweet cakes. Give Trick a call to join you and send some help our way. The druid threat is dead, but if you could get away I really need to touch you and could use your help finishing off any hired help in the area."
"I am already packed, Pumpkin. Count to three." He snarled and hung up. She did and then turned with a smile. The Morgan of the Dark, the Ash of the Light and the barkeep of the Dahl stood about three feet away from her. Tamsin had never been so glad to see them all.
Not looking at anyone else but Vex, Tamsin said to the group, "Kenzi and Dyson are inside. Bruce needs help and there is a fire we have to get a handle on." Trick and Hale nodded and ran. Vex stepped forward and took the lovely blonde in his arms and kissed her deeply. Pulling back he gave her an odd look and then sniffed.
"What's that smell? You wearing a new perfume?" Vex asked taking another sniff. Tamsin went red and moved to pull away embarrassed but her breath caught as Vex pulled her in tighter, "I think I like it." He murmured and Tamsin fell in love with him all over again.

Checking over her patient the doctor was satisfied she would sleep for some time. Placing a gentle kiss on Bo's soft mouth Lauren draped a protective arm across the succubus and drifted off too as she made plans for their future.
The dreamy grass and flower filled hillside was familiar to Lauren. Ever since her first fae change this had been permanent location in her subconscious, a dream oasis if you will. Lauren was at peace whenever she found herself here reclining on the soft slope contemplating her waking life. As thick clouds drifted low, impossibly white against the blue sky of her imagination the doctor felt the void next to her.
Realizing that this was the first time she had found this place in her sleep since the attack at the farmhouse. Blocked from the little retreat by the loss of her fae, with her powers returned this was her first time back. What was missing was the presence of her little mother. Well that wasn't totally true; the hag's power was with Lauren if not in a visual form. The essence of her dear friend was with her in spirit. Still the affectionate conversation was missing and Lauren's soul hurt at the loss.
At the thought of Hilde's abduction and the harm that could come to hag and her child, Lauren's whole being surged. Still in her dream, Lauren felt her body shift and she stretched out strong fur covered limbs. Snarling with vicious intent she rolled over and moved to her knees feeling her strength. Leaning forward she pushed claws through the grass, the power of Earth filled her with hope and she grinned as ripples in the landscape of her dream shifted and grew, soft pedaled flowers and gently swaying grasses gave way to strong trees and plants with dangerous defenses.
Energy played through her body; at once she could call for chi and then push the power at will, the blue eyes of the succubus flashing brightly. As the powers of her body joined to work in tandem, Lauren human voice sounded in her ears and she shouted threats and warning to the Grand Lord. She was coming for her mother and would not stop until she was free.
There was a disturbance of a sort and Lauren conscious shifted to see Bo walking towards her. Her lover was a constant in her dreams and it made perfect sense for the succubus to make an appearance. Even in a dream Bo took Lauren's breath away. With a smile the doctor heard her champion say, "Hey, that's my line." as if the succubus had read her thoughts. As always in this place Bo was decked out in her leather armor and had her chi weapons at the ready. The very essence of sex, power, beauty and love, Lauren's feline shifter let out a contented purr.
As her lady's champion, power flowed and snapped from the succubus's being. "I felt you calling out." Pulling back a chi sword back, Bo raised a tender hand to caress the side of Lauren's face. "If there is a battle you go with me or you don't go at all." The two-toned sound stroked the doctor's ear and tightened things deep inside her. Her lover's words a gentle warning not to be ignored.
Pulling Lauren to her feet, Bo said, "You look recovered." The doctor in Lauren had to wonder if this was her subconscious' way of recognizing the return of her fae. The eyes of the champion moved slowly up and down the melded form of Lauren. The doctor then didn't care what it was her lover saw, she was lost to the image of Bo expression. The succubus flashed her deadly blue eyes and said, "Show me how powerful you are. I need to feel your strength." With an explosive roar Lauren was on the attack.
The women battled, Lauren in all her forms had the dream form of Bo on the run. The power and strength of the shifter making impossibly fast strikes that Bo only just blocked. The nature fae pulling on the energy of the Earth and adjusting the plant life to her advantage, the succubus pulling and pushing chi as needed. With a defiant grin Lauren said through heavy breaths, "Had enough succubus?" She had done well and Bo looked very pleased. This was only a dream but still Lauren was delighted at her champion's response to her actions. The meadow started to go out of focus then and the doctor became aware that she was waking up.
With a sensuous smile Bo answered as she walked away into the haze, "Have I had enough Lauren? I will never have enough of you, doctor. Wake up and feel just how much I mean that." The champion's voice was drifting away and replaced by the sounds of doctor's moans of pleasure.
As Lauren broke the surface of sleep, she gasped immediately awash in sensation. Breathy whispered I love yous murmured again and again her ears. Strong hands seemed to be touching her everywhere. Light caresses meant to tantalize and tease, it was obvious that Bo wanted the doctor awake and needed Lauren to feel her touch. It wasn't the first time Lauren had felt Bo's hands on her as she woke up. It was a wonderful way to start the day.
There was no way for the doctor to know that Bo had woken with a start only a few minutes before her. There was a weight pressing down on her and for a moment Bo panicked. Broken memories of falling from her horse after the attack, the pain of the battering she had taken as she tumbled down the slope. The awful pressure as two large stones had ended up landing on her. Fighting to free herself Bo had only managed to get herself pinned between them and then with the shifting stones one had finally ended up partially on top of her. Waking up Bo had placed her hands on the mass on top of her to push it off and instantly she knew that the pressure was definitely not caused by a stone.
Not a stone by a long shot, Bo's heart soared as she recognized the feel of Lauren. With a sigh of relief the succubus remembered the rest. The woman she loved had her fae back. Yes, the doctor had her fae back and must have used her power to rescue her. Bo concentrated she didn't have the whole story but why? Lauren had been talking to her. Like now she was in her human form and what had happened? Then the Bo remembered, the doctor had used her succubus powers to knock her cold. With a relieved but wicked grin Bo turned her attention to the body pressing so deliciously close. "Well my love," whispered the succubus to the beautiful blonde, "You want to play with succubus powers. Let's play." The low chuckle was backed by a deep, deep desire to touch, taste and celebrate Lauren's recovery. Bo's blue eyes crackled and she set about waking her lover as only a succubus could.
At the sound and feel of the doctor's waking, Bo smiled and said, "Good Morning." Unable to speak in response, Lauren let out a soft laugh and then tried to get a handle on her run away feelings. Bo let out a deep two toned growl, as she slid her body down the length of the doctor's sleek form. Short bursts of blue chi wisping out here and there, evidence of Bo pushing the sensations just a little more than normal. Lauren could not help but arch her body into the pleasure of the chi laced touch.
Pausing to lick a wet hot line along the edge of a hip bone, Bo pushed up on her elbows and said, "Seems that I fell asleep before you could tell me what happened and before," In a swift move she slid lower on Lauren's body, "I could thank you properly for the rescue." A smile crossed the full lips that had earlier been uttering endearments and now softly began to brush across the doctor's lower abdomen and then swiftly lower to drift along shapely inner thighs.
"Oh God, Bo. What are…" Lauren had regained enough of herself to form words but was interrupted as she felt hands drifted up and take hold of the boy shorts that stood as the only barrier between the women. At the doctor's words Bo looked up and smiled. The blue eyes of the succubus flashed and Bo gently pressed her fingernails into the smooth muscled stomach just above the waistband of Lauren's panties. Pulsing a bit of chi into her fingertips, Bo let the energy flow and feathery pleasure shot out in all directions. "That feels so good," growled Lauren and once again was lost to Bo's touch.
"I am so glad you are feeling," fingers wrapped around the silky garment and pulled, "better." Lauren arched up and bit her bottom lip as the cloth moved down her skin. "You are so beautiful," groaned Bo and Lauren lost it as she felt the succubus taking her in her mouth for just an instant. With desperate moan, Lauren felt Bo pulling back as if she meant to slow down.
"Don't stop Bo, I need you." Lauren ground out between her teeth and that drove Bo to swift action. A groaned, "Yes," escaped the succubus's lips and then she returned to Lauren core. Taking the women she loved with so much passion Bo became lost in her need for this woman feel her love. Strong hands wrapped in the brunette's hair brought Bo back. Lauren having nothing else to hold on to as her lover brought her quickly to climax. Left defenseless Bo let her body go with the feeling and followed the doctor over the edge.
As the women came back to themselves, Bo moved up to hold Lauren tightly. She was rewarded with the doctor's return embrace. The seduction was meant to be fast and both women enjoyed the charge of the encounter. "Bo," Lauren said softly between gentle kisses as they faced each other. "Please feed." Without argument Bo did a soft pull on the doctor's chi. Lauren's response was to push energy into her lover. Starting to pull away, Lauren pressed closer, "No Bo, I want to give you this. Please take it. It's okay."
Not waiting she touched Bo's soft lips and was relieved when the chi started flowing from her body. The doctor touched the ground and was instantly greeted with a powerful blast of energy from the Earth. Bo groaned at the surge in power and the increased pleasure they were hit with. After a generous amount of chi, Bo pulled back rather dazed at the sensation, "Doctor, we have got to talk chi sharing etiquette." At the statement Lauren just laughed and rolled Bo over and took total advantage of her lover's distracted condition.
After the aftershocks settled Lauren said with a tired laugh, "So do you feel better now?" Bo turned and placed a kiss on the doctor's chest, then on her neck, and then returned to the lips that were set in a small smile. The succubus took inventory. The ribs were good and any bruising from the fall was gone. First aid with sex was a wonderful thing.
"Yes, matter of fact I do feel better." Bo said with a smile. "How about you? Fae back but different somehow?"
Nodding with a reflective expression, "I feel great." The doctor brushed a hand down Bo's cheek. Sitting up she looked Bo in the eye. "My fae is back but you're right, something has changed about my abilities. I don't know why but it seems more real this time. Does that make sense?" Lauren paused. "I have the same fae forms but from what I can tell they are working in tandem this time and not as individual parts." Bo watched as Lauren held her hand out and then with little effort morphed it into a powerful paw. With the other hand she traced a small circle on a patch of ground and shoots of grass appeared within the tiny shape. In an instant the paw as replaced by her human hand and Lauren's focus was back on Bo. "I don't know how or why the change has happened."
"Well," Bo said as she stood and then held out a hand to the doctor. "Hilde would know, so I say we make our way to the castle, rescue your little mother and get some answers." Lauren smiled up at Bo but was at a loss at what the two of them would do against the power they had encountered. She was about to give voice to her concerns when Bo's muffled cell phone ring broke the quiet.
"What the hell?" Bo said as she found a bag that held a few personal incidentals and her phone. In the deep woods it had been easy to forget they were still in modern times and had modern conveniences. Pulling the phone out she answered the call identified as unknown number.
"Bo Bo, I have never used a satellite phone before and this thing rocks." Kenzi's smile could almost be seen through the phone. Not waiting for a response, the druid continued, "Hey look, you guys are probably kicking ass and all that but it sucks being left behind. How do you feel about a little company storming the castle?"
