Chapter 15
Kenzi smiled and felt relief wash over her, maybe Tamsin would have an answer for them, and even if she didn't, Kenzi was still relieved to see her.
"Hey guys, Trick, can I get a beer?" she asked. Trick nodded and went to fix her something.
"I see you're up and running." She nodded to Dyson.
"Yep, all healed up." he nodded.
"Speaking of all healed up, what exactly did Duchess mean when she said Kenzi's exhaustion wasn't from what you did to her? What exactly did you do to her?" Hale asked. Dyson pursed his lips and Kenzi turned to face Hale, trying to think of a quick lie.
"I was dying, we didn't know where anyone was, Kenzi did what she had to do and she saved my life. That's the end of it." Dyson said as he took a drink of his beer.
"You mean you two…you and her had…she and you did that?" Hale stumbled.
"If you question is, did we have sex? Then the answer is yes. It was only to heal me though, and thankfully it worked or you both would be dead." Dyson looked at Hale and Trick.
"While it was a risky action, Kenzi I applaud you on what you did. That was very brave." Trick said. Kenzi nodded and looked to Hale who was still trying to wrap his head around the whole thing. They were all silent for a few moments before Tamsin spoke up.
"Ok, putting this awkward moment aside, I went to speak with a friend and she seems to think that this whole thing is part of some bigger plan. Nothing happened in the Fae world except for here. Our team, our group was split up for some reason and we need to know what the reason was. She didn't know, all she knew was that each of us was split up and whomever is behind this sent the goblins after us, and we all know they won't stop until the person who put the hit on us, calls it off." Tamsin said.
"So we find whoever is behind this and goblins are called back, then we kill whoever started this. Simple." Dyson shrugged. Kenzi nodded in agreement.
"Well, let's start with finding our girls. We're missing Bo and Lauren, who was the last to see them?" Trick asked.
"I saw Bo right before I picked you up and we soared off the cliff." Tamsin said.
"I saw Lauren in the Lab a couple hours before the cliff dive." Dyson said.
"And both were ok?" Hale asked.
"Lauren was fine."
"Bo was too.
Kenzi stood silently and listened to their conversation, in all honesty she wasn't feeling to hot right then. It was getting late and she wanted to get in bed, but she also needed to know what was going on. But she couldn't focus, no matter how hard she tried to return her attention to the conversation she couldn't. She knew what was happening, her head started to buzz like before. The bees were back and she couldn't breathe. Her heart started to pound even harder and she closed her eyes. Pictures slammed into her and she reached out, grabbing for something to hold onto as she succumbed to the buzzing and the pictures.
"How do we go about this?" Tamsin asked.
"I'm not really sure. All we can do is start looking, but there's so much going on in this world that Bo and Lauren could be in a different realm and we'd never know." An ice cold hand latched onto Dyson's arm.
"Kenzi!" Tamsin shouted. Dyson spun around, Kenzi's head was tilting backward just as her legs gave out on her and she sank forward. Dyson caught her and held her up as her eyes rolled back and blinked rapidly.
"What the hell is happening to her?" Tamsin asked.
"I think it's a vision." Trick said quickly.
"A vision?" The all seemed to echo the same question.
"Since when does Kenzi have visions?" Hale asked.
"I don't know, but if this is the same thing that happened to her before she found me it might be the key to finding Bo and Lauren. Dyson put her on the table!" Dyson lifted Kenzi and laid her gently onto the table, keeping his hand under her neck and carefully holding her head up so it didn't slam onto the table. Trick hurried around the bar and leaned down in Kenzi's face.
"Kenzi, focus. Remember what we were talking about. You have to focus. It'll stop hurting if you focus. Close your mind off to the buzzing and the pain and look at the pictures!" Trick shouted. Dyson stared down at Kenzi, he was scared for her. The whites of her eyes showed and she gasped for air. This was lasting much longer than the one in the van.
"Kenzi! Come on Kenzi!" Trick shouted.
"B-b-b-b-b" Kenzi's mouth moved trying to get something out.
"Focus." Trick said. Hale and Tamsin were standing close by, looking down with worry. Kenzi arched off the table and a loud scream came from her throat. It was painful for Dyson to hear, and it only cemented his anger at whatever was doing this to Kenzi. Dyson held Kenzi as she fell back onto the table.
"Bo." The name left Kenzi's lips in a rush.
"She said Bo, I heard it." Tamsin said. Trick nodded and Kenzi's eyes fluttered and her breathing slowed.
"She's focusing." Trick said quickly.
"That's it Kenzi, you can do it. Just focus." Dyson whispered gently instead of yelling. Her eyes blinked slowly and her breathing evened out.
"Bo. Metal building. Stinks. Small. Grass. Tall grass. Hot. Really hot. Burning. Awake. Asleep. Awake. Tired. So tired. No food. Hungry. Really hungry." She tossed back and forth.
"She's seeing pictures. She described them like the drawings people do on individual pages and then flip. They flash quickly. She's saying what she sees." Trick said. Kenzi gasped again and her eyes shot open. They focused on a spot on the ceiling and didn't move.
"Kenzi." Dyson said softly.
"Bo…I saw Bo. She's in so much pain…I felt it. She's starving and hurt." Tears ran from her eyes as she stared blankly at the ceiling.
"Kenzi, do you know where she is?"
"No." she sobbed the word and then coughs took over her body. Dyson quickly pulled her up off her back and she jerked to the side, tossing her head over the edge, and throwing up. There was nothing in her stomach from her throwing up earlier so it was just dry retching and Dyson felt his own stomach turn at the pain exhibited on her face. Dyson softly rubbed his hand over her back, trying in any way possible to soothe her.
"What are we going to do?" Hale asked quietly.
"I don't know." Trick answered.
"Whatever is inside of her is killing her Trick." Hale whispered.
"I know." Trick said solemnly.
