Chapter 7
It was Saturday afternoon, a rainy Saturday afternoon, Lauren was walking Rex in the park, it was getting dark but Rex wasn't willing to go inside yet, two months passed since he got injured and he practically stayed in until he was healed. Laurens thoughts travelled to what happened these two months, Bo met with the Elders counsil and her grandfather and denounced her title, a new Queen was elected, a wise woman from the Elders, Bo broke up with Tamsin, and went back to living in the crack shack alone, Kenzi was making sure to give Lauren all the details. She was back working as an investigator and was sorting some stuff out Kenzi said, without giving her any more details. They never met again since that night. The rain got stronger and Lauren decided to call it a night, Rex had enough leading her to mud and dirty waters. Walking back to her house her phone rings "Hi Kenzi, how is my future godson doing?" "Doc I told you, it's a daughter, I don't care what the other doctor said, I tell you it's a daughter, we are fine" Lauren felt Kenzi was hesitating, " Somethings wrong Kenzi" " Well where exactly are you Doc?" "Iam walking Rex around the park, poor dog was inside all this time" "You know, we have a problem Doc" "Whats wrong? Something is wrong with the baby? Tell Dan to take you straight to the hospital" "No, its not about the baby, Lauren, dark Bo is back". Lauren stopped walking for a second. "What? How do you know? What happened?" " Bo is missing again for over a week, I didn't want to tell you so you wont worry, she talked to me about having nightmares and how she couldn't sleep but I didn't think it was connected to Dark Bo" How is dark Bo back? She was killed during the war, we all saw her die." " I don't know Doc, all I know is that she was having nightmares, and now she is missing for a week and apparently there were some incidents and Dyson and the police are after her, Dyson was at my house earlier, he was sure Bo was hiding here with me. I told him nothing. They traced her last night and went after her when she attacked a young man, Bo was hurt but she managed to escape. According to Dyson, dark Bo isn't that strong yet but he is sure she is back. That's why I called, be careful Doc." Lauren reached her house and was about to open her door when Dyson appeared. "Goodbye Dr Taft, yes of course I would come 30 minutes early at Mondays meeting, give my greetings to you wife, have a nice Sunday" Lauren shut the phone before Kenzi managed to say anything else. "Dyson you scared me" "Hello Lauren" "Sorry to disturb you" "Dyson I have numerous times made clear to you that I don't want to see you or anyone else from the old days, so I don't know why you are here and I have nothing to say to you" "Calm down Lauren, its not about the old times. Iam looking for Bo" "The succubus? You are looking for the succubus here? You are mistaken, you need to find Tamsin, not me, is this a sick joke?" "Please Lauren hear me out, Bo is missing and we" "You thought she would come here? Why? I have nothing to do with her" " Ok, don't get upset, just let me check your house and ill leave" Lauren opened her door and let Dyson inside, he checked the house two times " I guess she isn't here" " Surprise,surprise" " If she does come here" " She isn't" "Lauren please, if she does, tell her to give herself up, there is no dark anymore, she cant survive, I have people running the streets, and its better I find her first before others do" Lauren opened the door without answering. Dyson left. Dark Bo is back? Lauren rushed to her computer, she needed to check the results of the tests she carried out when Bo won over the war, Bos powers were without limits but she was sure Dark Bo was dead. Bo had won over her. This is going to be a long night, she said to herself.
The rain was getting stronger and stronger, it was about ten when Lauren remembered she had to eat something. Rex was walking up and down, he never liked rains. Suddenly she heard a knock, it wasn't on her door. The knock got stronger and then glass breaking. Her bedroom window. Rex rushed to her bedroom, "Rex no, don't go" Rex was barking and then silence. Lauren was left standing there, not knowing what to do. You do know what to do, she said to herself. Bo would never hurt her physically, she was sure about that. And dark Bo never hurt her Physically either. She was aggressive and scary but never hurt her. Lauren got to the stairs slowly, someone got inside from her bedroom window, the rain was getting in, the window remained open. And in the corner of her bedroom floor Rex was licking Bos face while she was laying there unconscious. Lauren approached the woman who was the most important creature in her adult life and checked her pulse, steady but weak. There was stained blood on her shirt, Lauren turned her a bit and opened her shirt, the blood had stopped. She had to get Bo up to her bed. She got up, closed the window and sealed the small hole with a blanket. She dragged Bo from her shoulders and up to the bed. She turned her, and took of her shirt. The site of Bos body, how she missed that site, there was a time when she would kiss and lay on that belly, she used to dream that it was only hers, that she was the only one touching that body. Lauren run her hands between Bos breasts. She opened her bra. She was wounded, that looked like a knife wound, it wasn't pretty deep but not life threatening, Bos clothes were wet and Bo would probably get fever in a few hours. She had to get her clean and naked, warm her and care her wound. Lauren the doctor was taking over from Lauren the woman. She didn't want to think about whats next, first she had to get Bo better and then call the police.
