Tamsin woke up feeling her entire body stiffened. Everything was hurting and she could barely open her eyes. 'Crap! Where the hell am I?' she though to herself trying to stand. Finally opening her eyes she realized that there was not much light to see anything for that matter. 'Oh great! What mess did you got yourself into this time Valkyrie?' she rumbled.
She took a few steps before noticing that she was trapped inside of some kind of dungeon, old dark and dusted. Pacing back and forth and trying to regain memories of the last night flooded her head. Bo. Lauren. Zee. 'Bo' it was enough to think of the Succubus and feel even more pain spreading across her body. As a reflex her wings open freely inside of the dark room. How she went to be insanely happy to this fallen shadow of a once outstanding Valkyrie? How did she allowed this creature to mess up her head, her heart, her life? Tears streamed down her face.
"And here I was thinking Valkyries didn't had hearts! You are quite a legend Tamsin, never thought you would fall for the Succubus infatuating powers"
Tamsin froze. She thought to be alone, but she knew that voice all too well.
"You finally did" – she said as she turned around to face the man. "You finally got your darling daughter to freed you from hell. Congratulations!" As soon as she set her eyes into the man's she felt the fear, the same fear and desperation as the day so many years ago when she accepted the mission to track Bo.
"Thank you, Valkyrie. Not that you were of great help for me of course. You were a very bad bird, weren't you? Denying your mission, standing between me and Bo, between my daughter and her destiny. But again, you were never one to like orders, were you? Bad life choices proceed your fame." Hades eyed her piercingly.
"What trick did you used this time, oh mighty God? Lemme guess: you got your family to pretend to harm the world so Bo would think you were the only one who could help? Am I right?" Tamsin grinned.
"Perceptive as usual, my dear. I am glad Bo didn't spent that much of time with you otherwise I wouldn't be here. She chose the human, did she not?" Hades said calmly as he sat beside the door.
"Why is this any of your business?" Tamsin shouted irritated. It was enough the lightning Zee threw at her, and know to have to listen to this was driving the Valkyrie mad.
"It is Tamsin. It has always been. Or do you think she made that choice all by herself? Did you honestly believe that the human – a convicted murderer – ended up between the fae world all by accident? I foresaw everything Valkyrie, I used every piece of this chess game and I won."
"You telling me that you put the doc there as bait for Bo?" Tamsin said on the verge of losing her control altogether shouted at him one more time.
"Of course I did. She was already out of the picture and you were in, and we both know that you were no good influence on my 'daughter' so I used what I had. It all worked out pretty good, don't you think" He said as he got up "And now enough with the chat, we have somewhere to be".
"I am not going anywhere with you" She reply coldly.
"It's not a request Valkyrie, it's an order and if you don't comply the human you call mother will pay the price"
"Don't you dare be anywhere near Kenzi you bastard!" Tamsin yelled as she spread her wings one more time and her eyes got dark as night.
"Don't be a fool Valkyrie, you know very well casting fear on me will only making me stronger. I rise on fear!" He said opening the door.
Tamsin felt defeated. She could not allow any harm come to Kenzi or the Sunshine Gang. It did not matter her heart breaking inside her chest, she would do anything to protect her family.
She followed him cross this corridor lighted by old candles and smelling like a coffin. 'Where the hell am I. I need to find a way to get out ASAP'. Reaching a different room with full sizes windows behind him she finally took a breath to realize were she was.
"You brought me to the gates of hell. How flattering" She said smirking. She knew this place like the palm of her hand. As part of the Valkyrie training, they had to spent weeks "lost" into the maze of this dark castle for several different mind breaking tests. She was successful in every single time.
Not realizing she knew this place so well, Hades answered "As if you could set the difference between hell of heaven in such a lousy state".
She took a breath as in setting her mind to what was about to come. She knew now his plan and precisely why he needed her. This would be hard but she was willing to pay the price.
