Hello people. I am really sorry about the long hiatus but I have a writers block concerning this story. I added a little recap of the last few chapters to get back into the story.
Previously on Lost Doc: After discovering Tafts insane plans she manages to free the captured Dyson. Getting critically hurt in the attempt she is turned Fae without consent. She manages to flee after she discovers that Taft tinkered with the water supplies. Time is running against her when she reaches the Dal. But the reunion between Lauren and Bo doesn't end happily. Confronted with the Succubus nature of Bo she panics, remembering the last time a succubus was close to her. Only seeing Miranda in Bo she has a nervous break down and can only calmed down by some concotion of Trick.
Lauren Now being an Akhileus, a powerful ancient Fae that is almost invisible wakes up driven by hunger. Not being able to control the new powers Lauren transforms and attacks the group but was eventually taken down by Anna.
Being fed Lauren awakes in Tricks study without remembering anything that happened after Bo's dawning. The love birds consume their relationship while upstairs Dyson appears in Wolfform bringing some alarming news.
Chapter 21
"Morning guys" Bo appeared from the study. She was beaming with happiness and power, which wasn't that surprising after the wild coupling with a certain blond doctor. But her smiling features turned into an immediate frown at spotting the wolf sitting in front of the bar.
"What is HE doing her?" She spat, still angry that he had almost killed her girlfriend. Her eyes were turning into a glowing blue ready to strike at any moment. It was Kenzi who jumped up and lay a comforting hand on the angry succubus.
"Calm down Bobo, please. You know that he never meant to and hotpants is fine, ok? You made him already pay and this is not the fucking time for this. We're at some kind of war, remember? The mad doctor running around targeting Fae?"
The glowing faded. Bo sighed. "Alright... I will be civilized around him but that doesn't mean that I'll be nice or that I forgive him yet. One wrong look or movement and I'll beat his furry ass in to the next county" The wolf winced but understood.
"So what's going on? Why is he in his wolf form? Shouldn't he have shifted by now? I mean ok he is a bit more cuddly and fury but I think the ability to talk would come in handy now" Bo was still edgy. She just wanted to return in to Laurens arms. To feel her close to forget this stupid Fae world for a short time again. She wanted to celebrate to have her back but instead she had to deal with the entire humanity in danger. Why couldn't anything be easy just for once?
Trick sensed the stress sparkling in the room. "Why don't we all sit down first? I'm going to make some tea to calm your nerves down."
"How about some buckthorne to calm our nerves? Since the time I was in wolf mans body I don't really trust anything that isn't bottled up..." Kenzi said.
"Alcohol isn't the solution to everything, especially not my top shelf bottles. Besides we all need to have a clear head now."
"Got to have a clear head now, yadda yadda stupid" Kenzi scoffed but eventually sank down on one of the chairs arms crossed. Ivy and Anna followed suit just Bo was hesitating.
"I promised to get Lauren some clothes. She can't be walking around naked all the time. Not that I mind, but I don't really like to share with you and I doubt she approves..."
"There are still some old tunics in the study. And please bring her here. We need her expertise on something important. As much as I want her to rest a bit more, things are dire and we need her." Trick explained.
"I don't like it one bit" Bo said.
"Please Bo" Trick begged.
"I'm going down and talk to her, but I won't make her do anything she doesn't want to do and I won't be persuading her to do it, gotcha?"
"Lori?" the panicked shriek of Ivy startled everyone. Without thinking the younger sibling was rushing to her sisters side. Bo turned her head and her heart stopped a second.
"Babe?" the brunette whispered and came closer.
"Don't..." Laurens voice was shaking. Bo stopped immediately. "Lo..?" The brunette was worried. Lauren was standing there pale as a ghost, her slim frame shaking. Blood was coating her hands, arms. The former white tunic she wore was drenched with the red liquid.
"Babe? What.. what happened? Are you hurt?" Bo asked taking another step.
"I said DON'T. DON'T come any closer succubus" Her voice was shaking with anxiety and desperation. Her eyes were glowing again. She was visibly fighting for control that seemed to slip again from her. Her limbs felt so weak, her mind a blur. Fresh memories flashing through her head trying to fit in the bigger picture. Nothing seemed to make sense. It was unclear it was just hurting.
"I need answers and you will give them to me. I dare you.. Anyone keeping secrets will regret it. I'm sick.. So, so sick about this secrecy" said the person who lived a lie almost her entire life.
Minutes earlier:
The blond stretched her lean body gracefully. Her heart was still beating rapidly from the lovemaking session only a short time ago. Endorphins and adrenalin was pumping through her body but something was amiss, didn't feel right.
Deep inside her head something was nagging her but she couldn't grasp it.
Lauren felt different. It was like raw power was pulsing through her veins and that after sleeping with Bo was a strange occurrence. She should be at least a little tired but she felt as energetic like never before. Some kind of energy was engulfing her. Lauren wondered if this was a new side affect of sleeping with Bo after the Dawning. She had to run some test when she was back at the lap.
Now that she wasn't engaged in hot steamy sex anymore the fact that she was stark naked came to her notice. At first she wanted to wait for Bo to come back, when she spotted a set of clothes in the open drawer on the other end of the room. Without thinking twice Lauren threw on the plain white cotton tunic. It was way to long and looked more like a dress at least it was better than nothing but she had to get some real clothes soon. This outfit was less than practical.
She was about to leave the study when a whimper caught her attention. At first Lauren thought she had imagined the sound but when the whimpering and moaning grew louder her curiosity won and she decided to take a look where the sound came from.
Lauren rarely entered the rooms down here only together with Trick out of respect but something was drawing her in.
Her breath stuck in her throat when she opened the door to the next room.
"Mi...Miri?" Lauren breathed. In the middle of the room sat one of her former friends. She looked beaten up, her nose broken like her jaw. Blood was sticking to her dirty clothes. What had they done to her? What was she doing her?
"Holllp me..." Miranda moaned the best she could with her broken jaw.
Lauren was skeptical. There should be a reason why the other woman was tied to the chair but she couldn't imagine what that reason could be. Miranda had always been a shy but completely loyal and good person. Did she come to close to find out about the fae? Would Trick really do such horrible thing? He always seemed like such a kind old man but whenever the safety of the fae was concerned...
A tear was slipping out of the swollen eyes of Miranda. "P...pl...lease"
Laurens heart clenched. Once she cared so much for that woman. She hadn't seen her for years. She didn't deserve to be treated like this. "I'll... I'll get you out of there" Lauren was a healer, a doctor. She just had to help somebody that was hurt. She swore an oath.
While Lauren was working the tight ropes to get loose she didn't saw the eyes of Miranda glancing. The moment the brunette was free Lauren was pressed to the next wall without being able to move. Pulses were tingling her body, familiar pulses.
"I just can't believe that you are that stupid. That you actually fell for that" Miranda laughed after she took a nip of Laurens chi. Finally her jaw was healed again.
The blondes eyes widened. "What the hell Miri? Are you... Are you a succubus?"
"Did I fuck you brains out Karen?" Miranda chuckled. "hmm you taste a little different than the last time..."
"Let go of me Miri or you'll regret it, when Bo comes..."
"I will be long gone and you sucked dry. Too bad because you are a real good fuck, but everybody has to make sacrifices some time." Another strong pulse hit Lauren. Miranda started to take more chi and than everything hit Lauren.
Underground facility... experiments... Miranda forcing her... Being hurt by Dyson... fleeing. It was all crushing into her. To much to understand it was just a flesh of incoherent pictures she just knew that Miranda did things... Horrible things and pure hatred was coming up in her.
Her blood started to boil and an unknown power was flooding her. Her body reacted before she even registered what was happening.
Without problem she escaped Mirandas control. Nails turned into claws. Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Sharp as razor blades the blondes nails dug in the brunettes chest. Warm blood was coating her fingers, trickling down her arms. Red liquid spoiled the innocent white gown and dyed it in fiery crimson.
Wide eyes stared at Lauren and with a gurgling sound Miranda slumped to the floor a pool of blood forming under her.
It took a few moments for everything to sink in. Shakily Lauren raised her bloody hand. Nails looking normal again. She felt nausea. Her stomach felt like somebody kicked her. Her eyes were alternating between her tainted hands and the unmoving body on the floor. The body of person she once cared for so deeply, which she appreciated. Years of shared life gone.
She was trying to make sense of the images flooding her mind to no avail. It was a mess of so much. Answers. She needed answers. She had to get up.
Her bare feet felt sticky. Looking down she saw the blood sticking to them and she felt like she had to throw up. She had seen so much blood in her life as a doctor but never was it blood she drew.
Dead eyes was staring at her accusingly like they were screaming at her telling her that it was all her fault, that she could have stopped all this before it even happened. She failed. She had failed.
"Fuck..." Lauren cursed and sank down feeling for a pulse. No matter what Miranda had done to her... Nobody deserved to die.. Not by her hand.
Deep inside she knew it would be fruitless but she started CPR. "Come on... Fuck, don't you die on me!" But the body on the ground was already dead.
She felt numb when she got to her feet... Upstairs... needed to go upstairs, needed answers. Her head was exploding with the information storm.
Cold, dead eyes followed her when Lauren slowly got upstairs.
"Lori" the voice of her sister was distant. She didn't even wonder what she was doing here.
"Babe" the succubus was talking... It was closing in on her. No she couldn't risk it to be near such a creature. Her blood was still boiling and some unknown power was trying to take control again. "Don't" she just said. She couldn't even stand talking to her or she felt like losing control.
"Lo"
"Babe? What.. what happened? Are you hurt?" The brunette tried again.
Bo please don't come any closer. Please
"I said DON'T. DON'T come any closer succubus" She felt like she was losing it any moment. Her head was throbbing making it difficult to differentiate between reality, memory and imagination. Why hadn't anyone told her? Why didn't Bo? Why was her head such a mess?
"I need answers and you will give them to me. I dare you.. Anyone keeping secrets will regret it. I'm sick.. So, so sick about this secrecy"
