AN: The last few hours of my life were spent writing this, eating cookie dough, and crying. I hope you like it. I might add more later, but for now... here it is. Please review.
Lauren had opened up to Bo, telling her everything that had affected her as a child. She knew the consequence of telling Bo the story... nightmares.
Lauren bolted upwards trying not to wake the sleeping succubus next to her. Breathing heavily, Lauren took in her surroundings, the clubhouse walls, Bo, Bo's bed, Bo's heartbeat. She could feel the blood rushing through her body as she shook slightly.
Lauren's light whimper was enough for Bo to be woken from her slumber and to move upwards and brush her hair out of her face.
"Lauren?" Bo whispered, reaching her hand out to rub the blonde's back.
"I-I'm fine." Lauren's voice broke, and Bo could see her shaking. Bo moved her body and pulled Lauren into her lap and wrapped her arms tightly around her.
"You know you can't lie to me." Bo whispered. Lauren relaxed into Bo's arms still whimpering and shaking slightly.
"I'm scared. Flashbacks... nightmares." Was all Lauren mumbled out.
"Honey, you're fine. You're out of there, and I'm right here." Bo tried to soothe Lauren's fears.
"It felt so really... like I was there again." Lauren looked into Bo's loving eyes.
"It was just a dream, that's over for you now. You are staying here, with me. I won't let you go anywhere.
"Hey, Trick." Bo greeted, walking into the Dal and up to said man.
"Bo. How are you this evening?" Trick asked.
Lauren had a break down less than 24 hours ago and Bo wanted to know everything she could.
"Fine, but I have a question."
"And what might that be?"
"Did you know Lauren was in Afghanistan... in the war?" Bo asked, pleading for answers.
"I did. She told you?"
"Yeah, very tearfully and with a nightmare a few hours after, but she did. Do you know anything else you can tell me?" Bo wished for more answers.
"Lauren wasn't just a doctor to the people over there, she's a hero... warrior. She has skills I didn't think a human could have." Trick said leading Bo toward the bar. "She doesn't know, but I've been performing tests on her... I think she could quite possibly be fae."
Bo looked shocked, but amazed and happy Lauren was a hero. "Wh-What kind of fae?" Bo gulped.
"Argovis, battle ready, book smart, and amazing healers. She is a great warrior. Her powers go farther than she knows." Trick nodded.
"How does Lauren not know?"
"The necklace she wears, keeps her from remembering certain things. She hasn't chosen a side either, but the Ash had her wear that, and it has its effects."
"Does it hurt her? I'll go take it off her right now." Bo's eyes flashed blue, but it faded as fast as it came.
"No, it just wipes her memory to make her think it's only been five years." Trick assured her.
"How many years has it been, and what about Nadia, what did they do to her?" Bo asked, curiously.
"Bo, Lauren is 100 years old, and Nadia was cursed, she didn't age."
To say Bo was speechless was an understatement. "I'm taking that thing off of her."
"Bo! She won't remember how long it has been, the only difference it will make is... after she is without it for 24 hours, she will remember that she is fae."
"Will that change who she is, will it change the Lauren I fell in love with?" Bo pleaded, needing the answer to be 'no'.
"It won't, but she is far more dangerous than you think." Trick warned.
Bo went to the Ash's compound and pushed through everyone in her way to get to Lauren. Upon finding the blonde all she could think to do was pull her in for a kiss. Grabbing the front of Lauren's lab coat, she pulled her in and connected their lips.
"What was that for?" Lauren asked, almost speechless.
"I learned something about you today, and I'm getting you back." Bo pecked Lauren's lips again and reached around Lauren's neck to remove the necklace. "I'm getting you back." Bo breathed out again, quieter this time.
AN: Crying and cookie dough makes for a surprising chapter. Tell me what you think, and if I should continue this further. Here it is, hope you like it.
