Chapter 22

Nobody dared to approach the unstable newborn Akhileus to scared about the outburst of power only a short while ago. The blondes body was shaking, eyes turning from gold to brown and back again. It had taken over an hour to bring Lauren up to date to the information that the small group knew.

"Taft you say..." Lauren mumbled. Hands massaging her hurting forehead.

"Yes.. You.. you made a video... telling me..." Bo said.

"Hmm... I think I... I remember... So many images are breaking in to my head.. They seem to get clearer from what you all told me... But still.. so much... so overwhelming... And then there is this beast inside me.. Crawling, screaming to get out... How did I end up like this? Who would have thought that the man was such a barbaric monster.. playing god... Destroying lives, torture and forming creatures the way he wants to..." Lauren gritted her teeth. It was taking a lot to keep in control, to not give in to the anger that was so prominent inside her.

"We will get him Lauren. I promise... I'll make him pay for what he did to you and the others... He won't be hurting anyone again." Bo said while taking a few steps to Lauren. Seeing her lover like this was breaking her heart. She wanted to hold her and whisper comforting words in her ear but before she reached the blonde a hissing voice stopped her in her tracks.

"Stay...Away... from me succubus!" Lauren growled eyes blazing gold.

"Whoa whoa Hotpants. Calm your titties. She is your girl no need to be rude" As much as Kenzi feared the new form of the doctor she still felt protective over Bo. The brunette didn't deserve such a treatment no matter what the doc went through.

"I am sorry..." Lauren sighed, tears falling down her cheeks. "I.. It's so difficult to control and my inner... fae... seems to dislike succubi for obvious reasons. It doesn't help that you used my temporary memory loss to sleep with me..." her tone became sharp.

"You didn't complain you... you initiated..."

"You KNEW that I had lost my memory, but instead of telling me, you fuck me! We aren't even together anymore. How DARE you..."

"How dare I? Really? First of all we are... were... whatever on a break so technically it wasn't even over. Second: it was consensual, I didn't make you do it and third of all... I was happy to feel you again, ok? You left just right after suggesting this stupid break. No chance to explain myself, to fight for you. You have no idea how much I longed for you. It hurt, okay? Not having you at my side... It had felt so good to be back together again. Ever thought about that too? How much it hurt?"

"Oh I am sorry that for once you weren't the center of the pity party. Oh poor Bo didn't get what she wanted. Do you have any idea of what I went through? All to save the people who enslaved me, took my live from me in the first place, who treated me like garbage and nothing more. And still I felt obliged to help... to save the people I love and like even when they don't seem to return those feelings, not even feeling appreciated once or at least accepted... I'm not sure who I can trust anymore.." Trick, Kenzi and wolf Dyson looked down in shame. The doctor was right.

She had risked her life many times to save them while they took it for granted.

"Is that the reason you killed Miranda?" Trick asked. The dead woman was still lying in a puddle of blood in his study which he really didn't like

Laurens anger seemed to die down a bit. She grew pale. "I didn't mean to... I... I lost control... She was attacking me and the memory returned... I saw her... remembered what she did, how disgusted and helpless I felt.."

"That bitch didn't deserve any better. I would have probably done the same... I actually wanted to do the same..." Bo huffed.

"In that case you are wrong Bo. I agree that what Miri did wasn't by any way right, but she was a victim herself. She was turned in to something she had no control over. You of all people should understand her or at least relate. Being only half a succubus she lacked the power to control over herself. Driven by her hunger and inner pain she turned to this... abomination. An abomination Taft created.

Miranda didn't deserve what happened to her... She is just a victim of a mad man, like Anna, like me and dozen of other helpless fae or humans." And there was the Lauren they all knew back again. The strong willed, rational doctor. Lauren turned her eyes on Anna. "You have no idea how relieved I am that I didn't kill you... I'd understand if you want to end my life... I really do."

Anna shrugged it of. "Nah, I like you to much to kill you for something small like that" she winked. "I know that you didn't want to... I saw your struggle, but I would have done the same to save my family. I'd kill anyone to keep them alive" The Akhileus eyes were glowing for a short time.

"Please know that I am sorry with every fiber of my heart"

"It's alright doc... But we have to work on your control over your new powers or I might reconsider the killing point" the redhead joked.

"Touch her and I'll kill you!" Bo growled, eyes blazing blue.

"She was joking Bobo... please stop that freaky eye thing.." Kenzi said while holding back the succubus.

"Your girl has quite the temper" Anna smirked like she wasn't even slightly effected by all of it.

"She is not..." But Lauren stopped and sighed instead. She didn't know how she stood with Bo. It was complicated, so much she could say.

"If you want and your guard dog allows it, we should start the training soon. We don't want to have more accidents now, do we?"

Lauren shook her head. "Thanks... I hope that you can help me. I never wanted this... never wanted to be fae but I would have probably died if they hadn't turned me..."

It was surprising when Dyson slowly approached the blonde. Head low, tail between his legs. He licked her hand and then laid down his head between his front paws. Lauren smiled a little at that gesture and petted his head appreciatively.

"It's ok Dyson.. You only did what I told you too... maybe you were a bit to... thorough but you got out of there and I am still alive" The wolf barked happily and licked her hand again.

"You know Dyson... You are a shifter, not a dog. You don't have to act like that... Why are you wolf form by the way? Shouldn't you have shifted by now?" The question made the wolf whimper.

"I... I almost forgot.. I am sorry Lauren. He came in with a note. A list of the drugs used and the different treatments are here." He slowly approached Lauren gave her the list. The doctor, curious and worried scanned over the piece of paper. Eyebrows clenched together.

"He can't shift back? That is strange... I don't see anything done wrong on the list... hmmm" Lauren mumbled. The entire room was quiet. Nobody dared to say anything to afraid to tick the doctor of.

Bo felt ashamed but was also angry. She would have never taken advantage... What had Taft done to make her Lauren this... pissed... angry and defensive. How much she wished to break that assholes face.

"Before I can say anything I have to run some tests. It's rare for a lycan to have problems with that... Usually only happens when they are very very weak and only with the young ones..."

"So... can you help him?" Kenzi asked.

"I don't know... I'm not at the peak of my mind. I feel like I was run over by a bus... I need some time. I hope that is ok"

The opening door startled everyone inside. "Sorry Lori,I only found this in the car. I have no idea how it got there but it's the only thing that fits" Ivy said holding up a bundle of clothes.

Laurens eyes widened. "My uniform? Nothing else?"

"Nothing that would fit and be that practical..."

"You gotta be kidding me..." the blonde shook her head and sighed. "How did that even end up in the car?"

"I actually don't know... It was hidden in the trunk..."

"Really Bo?" Lauren looked now at the brunette who was visibly embarrassed.

"What? I just... you... you looked so HOT in it I... kinda... erm.." the succubus stumbled.

"Great... A wolf shifter who can't shift, a horny succubus with a uniform fetish, a dead fake succubus in the cellar and a fae turned doctor all together in one room, while there is madman outside killing fae and oh I almost forgot the Morrigan who is hunting all humans... Sometimes I wish myself back to easier days... You know like that thing with the Garuda..." Kenzi actually wondered how they ended up like this.

"Give it to me... Still better than this bloody cloth..." Lauren grabbed the offered clothes and vanished from the others eyes.

Just minutes later Lauren came back. Blonde hair tied to a pony tail. She wore the beige brown camo pants and the beige tank top. Wearing it again felt strange.

"You can stop drooling succubus" Anna laughed.

But Bo didn't listen. Instead she rushed to the blonde and pulled her into a mind blowing kiss.

"Whoa Bo back down, are you crazy?" Kenzi screamed but the blonde didn't even seem to mind and returned the kiss eagerly. "One frigging uniform and they get it on? The two have a serious problem..."

The two didn't care about their audience until the lack of oxygen made them stop. Lauren pushed Bo of off her.

"What was that?" She asked

"I wanted to ask the same... There was suddenly this weird, irresistible pull and it didn't feel like anything I had experienced before. Nothing succubus specific I guess..."

"I... I felt that too... How... strange... It started the second I... " she fumbled for something in her pocket.

"The... photo..." Bo mumbled at seeing the picture of them two.

"It was... pulsating when I touched it... What is it even doing here? It's supposed to be somewhere safe!"

"And why is that so? Care to tell me what is so special about it except the weird text and it pulsating and things?" Bo asked.

"Actually I don't know" Lauren whispered.

"You don't... Are you shitting me?"

"I am not. I was told to keep it safe. Away from this place but still in reach. I don't know why only that it is important. What it actually is and why it is important I can't say."

"Well maybe I can help with that." A deep voice said. Everyone turned to the door. Shock was written on everyone's face. Only Trick didn't seem surprised to see the supposedly dead man standing in his pub.

"Is it just me or does that dude kinda looks like the Ash without a name. Do Fae do cosplay or is this is evil... erm more evil twin?"

A/N: Here we go ago with another chapter. Hope there are still people out there reading. It's hard to tell if a story is still liked without any response. Do you like were this is going or did I mess up? I'm really unsure about this story and would be happy about your input.
