Chapter 15: A Promise to be Kept

Rena brought the car to a screeching stop. Her contacts told her the girls were on a playground in the park. She just hoped that she wasn't to late. In the distance she saw one of the cops ordered to watch over the girls but she only saw Ivy playing around. Were was Lauren? Rena cursed and made a bee line to the cop who looked surprised at her.

"Sergeant?"

"Cut the crap, where is Lauren?"

"The blonde? Well... she wanted to have some alone time with her girl. At first I didn't agree but I remember how it was to be a teenager. The hormones, first love..." He smiled.

"Incompetent idiot!" She growled and the smile of the cop immediately died down. "Where did they go? I need to know. FAST"

"Erm.. They... they went that way" He pointed at the small forest at the end of the park.

"Don't loose Ivy, too, got that or I'm gonna rip of your balls" The redhead warned and ran.

Please don't let me be to late She stopped in her tracks when a shot rang through her ears. Her heart sank down. "No...please..." drawing her weapon she went double time and eventually reached the line of trees.

"Freeze police, hands where I can see them" She barked and aimed at the back of a blonde holding.. hands with Lauren a spark of golden energy was slowly ebbing down. The blonde stranger didn't seem to care that a pistol was aimed at her instead she was rummaging in the inside pockets of her jacket.

"Geez calm down. I'm police too" She held up her badge. "Now put down the gun you're scaring Laur here" But Rena didn't make a move. "Down before I lose y temper Raerae."

There was only one person that ever called her Raerae... Rena holstered her weapon. "Tammy?"

"I told you not to call me Tammy or I'm gonna kick your ass."

"What the hell are you doing here?!"

"I wouldn't have to be here if you had been quick like I told you"

"You were on the phone?"

"Congratulations we have a winner"

"Why didn't you tell me it was you?"

"Well mysterious secret informants are way cooler.. No really I'm not even supposed to be here or seen. I messed up my cover..."

"I won't let you take or hurt her, gotcha?" Rena growled.

"You really think I would have warned you if I wanted to do that? Let her heal with my energy?"

"Why not? You were always a manipulative bitch and you are dark Fae"

"Admit it you are only mad because I never called back.."

"Hello?" Lauren yelled. "SOMEBODY care to explain? Or... I don't know, HELP HER?!" Lauren tried her best with tears in her eyes to help Bo but the brunette was still out cold. They had to get her to the hospital as fast as possible.

"Heal her and then I'm outta here. I'm not supposed to be here. The Morrigan probably already looses her shit..."

"Oh no... I won't just let you go like this..." Rena tightly held on to Tamsins arm.

"You want another round?" The blonde smirked.

"Fuck you" Rena yelled.

"If you insist" Tamsin was closing the distance.

"Shove it, I have a boyfriend okay? I don't need your bony ass in my bad. Just tell me.. why are you here? To finish the job? Kill her? Bring her in?"

"It's a personal matter. Nothing concerning you. Let's just say I want to keep the girl safe because I made a promise a long time ago..."

Suddenly the air started to flicker. Pulses of energy were filling her. The women turned around and saw in the golden glowing eyes of Lauren. Her breathing was heavy. "ANSWERS...NOW" Lauren demanded.

"I would appreciate you to stop your bantering. I was ATTACKED minutes ago, injured and Bo is lying here in her own blood. I start to glow and heal and nobody seem to CARE to enlighten me or to help her. You are not even TALKING to me"

"Whoa, problem with your anger management? Calm down kiddo. We're coming to that."

"No we won't" Rena said angrily.

"She needs to know, you can't keep her in the dark"

"Knowing about what?"

"Well, your powers, duh"

"Tamsin... stop it. I warn you now. It is forbidden to..."

"To tell her? Oh you have no frigging idea kiddo. You are still such a young Fae. Those lines were written by the blood king out of fear. I can tell her and there will be no harm. That old coward only wanted to have the control over her. Ever thought about that?"

"You are lying... "

"Believe what you want but I will tell her. She deserves that much." The blonde mumbled and kneeled down to Lauren. "You are not human, got that? Whatever they told you, it isn't true. They don't know better because its written down in the laws." Her voice was unusually soft and caring. "But first you should help your girl"

"I'm not human..." Lauren repeated in a low voice. That meant she had to be Fae, didn't it? "How... how can I help her?"

"Tamsin..." Rena tried but the blondes were ignoring her.

"I'm... I'm not really sure. All I know is that your touch can heal. Focus on her injuries and the rest should be working on its own...Well at least I guess" Tamsin chuckled.

Lauren nodded. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her mind tried to compartmentalized the information. So many questions were whirling around in her brain so much chaos. Who was that woman that saved her? Why did she save her? How did she know her name and why the FUCK did she look familiar?

"Erm... Just.. what's with the.. the dead guy? I'm not that sure if I want Bo to wake up to.. well.. that" Lauren mumbled.

"Hmm yeah... Isn't that nice to look at. Let's move her first" Before Tamsin could pick up Bo Rena was already there heaving the brunette gently in her arms.

"Oh I don't trust you Blondie" Rena snapped and laid Bo down further away. "Before I forget we should give her a little bit of Amnesia."

"Wait, stop, you want to give her amnesia? Wipe her memory? How?" Lauren seemed afraid.

"No kiddo. That stuff is a Fae specialty. An essence Fae cops carry around wiping the memory of the last hour out. Used for humans who saw things they shouldn't and before you panic. It doesn't hurt or will have any side effects. She will just don't remember being attacked or seeing a Fae." Tamsin explained.

"Since when did you become the understanding teacher? I mean really?"

"Fuck you sarge."

"Are you done now?" Lauren hissed. "Is that stuff really OK?" She looked at Rena not being sure if she should trust the other blonde.

"Yeah it is. It's standard procedure. Here, quick she needs to heal" The redhead said and gave Lauren a tiny flask. "The dose should be enough. Make sure to give it to her before you.. you heal her"

Lauren nodded. "And after that I need answers. From you and Dyson" Her voice was cold and demanding. Saving Bo was what counted now. She had enough time for answers later no matter how nagging they were.

Lauren opened the lid of the flask and poured the content in to Bo's mouth. She hoped the brunette wouldn't choke but the liquid vanished as soon as it touched Bo's lips.

That was the easy part but how was she supposed to heal? She wasn't even sure she could do that. One hour ago she wasn't aware of any "powers" and now Bo's life depended on it?

"Here goes nothing" the blonde mumbled and put her hands on Bo's chest. She concentrated. Hands alternating between hovering and actually touching but nothing happened.

"Try it with skin contact... Most powers only work at direct skin to skin contact" Rena tried to help. She still couldn't believe that Tamsin just told the girl about her powers but as far as the redhead could see they were still alive. Maybe because not everything was revealed?

She would keep her eyes on Tamsin.

Lauren blushed a little at the suggestion. "Could you... well give me some space? It makes me nervous when you stare at me like that.

"Alright. Pumpkin and I will get right over there." and

"Pumpkin? What the... don't act like we know each other."

"Oh I think I know quite a lot about you" Tamsin smirked.

"One fucking night... The worst mistake in my life. There is a reason I don't drink at La Shoshain anymore..." Rena growled.

Lauren just shook her head at those two and carefully pulled up Bo's shirt. She couldn't keep the blush from her cheeks also she knew that it was completely inappropriate at that time. Seeing the dark bruises forming on the delicate flesh made her stomach queasy. She was the reason that Bo was hurt and she wasn't sure if she could forgive herself for pulling the brunette in to this mess.

She put her bare hands gently on the bare flesh and concentrated on the injuries, her own energy and her feelings. She wasn't sure how to do it but hoped it would work now. At first nothing happened and Lauren was about to cry when she felt a pull inside her. A tingling feeling was wandering along her arm. Her hands got warm and started to glow gold.

The bruises were slowly vanishing, bones put back in to place.

Lauren felt weaker with every second. It was taking a lot out of her, but saving Bo was the only thing that mattered now. "Come back to me Bo" she breathed.

A/N: I know most of you didn't want Tamsin to be the one saving Lauren but I had to. Hope you can forgive me but Tammy Tam Tam... well lets just say she has a connection that will be revealed... I know you peeps want to see Kenzi but you have to wait for a bit. This chapter is a little... silly and not as dark as I planned. But this is what happens when you write a little drunk *blush.
