A/N; Sorry guys for the long delay, but well... summer sun and fun. Was camping and at a festival. And lost my interest in lost girl for a while. But here we go with a brand new chapter starting with a flashback.

Chapter 16: Mother and Daughter

Flashback:

The stoic blondes eyes were fixed on the tiny bundle in her arms. Only three weeks old but already glowing with suppressed power. From the first time she spotted the tiny girl, the Valkyrie was sure that she was the one, that this one would be special and finally bring peace between the fractions. Clumsily she held the tiny ancient in her arms. She had never been a very social person and definitely wasn't a child person. She felt awkward to hold the girl but she was in awe at the same time. So fragile but powerful at the same time.

"Beautiful, isn't she?" a soft voice said. A breathtakingly beautiful woman came into the room. Long, wavy, blonde hair flowing behind her. Only clad in a white tunic she looked angelic, like a goddess. A goddess she actually was.

"Yeah precious...but.. but she is so.. so tiny and... are you really sure she is the one?" the Valkyrie tickled the babies belly causing it to giggle lightly. She couldn't help but smile at the adorable bundle of life. It was actually tearing at her strong emotional walls.

"She is my daughter. Of course I am sure. Me Laurentia, the victorious. The one who brings peace" The Valkyrie flinched a little at proclamation.

"Peace...Yeah I guess..."

"It is so good to see you again Aurelia. It's been so long. I missed you dearly"

"It's been centuries somebody called me Aurelia... Nobody actually does except you..."

"I won't accept the name Odin gave you. I think Aurelia fits so much better."

"Well I kinda got used to Tamsin. I think it's a pretty ok name. But yeah.. Aurelia sounds nice to."

"Of course it does. I was the one who came up with it after all" She smiled a soft smile.

"That's more than a millenia ago.. almost two... things were so different then. We were different.. Sometimes I wonder how things had turned out if I had been the one... If I had been special, had been what you wished for..." The Valkyries voice became full of sadness. The usually very confident Fae, felt lesser whenever she was in the present of the ancient. She had disappointed her, wasn't what she wanted her to be. Born at the wrong time from the wrong father.

"Is that why you are always so bitter? Because you think you were a disappointment for me?" The ancient was shocked.

The Valkyrie looked down without saying anything. The baby happily squealing, reaching for something. The blonde smiled sadly, offering a single finger the little girl grabbed giggling. That girl was everything she never were without even trying it. She was sure that the girl would grow up in a loving family. Would be taught their ways by them. Be trained for a century and prepared for things to come instead of being ripped away from the only family she'd known. Being turned into something she never wanted to.

"Maybe.." the Valkyrie finally said.

"Oh dear. Please never be. I never loved you any less. Believe me when I say that it ripped my heart into shreds when he took you. I never meant for it to turn out like that. I never wanted for you to become one of his. There are things destined to happen in life. Things we can't control, but they will never make you any less precious than somebody else... Is that one of the reasons why I only see you once in a century?"

"No... No I would really like to come more often but I... I just can't... rules.. you know?"

The ancient sighed. "Right... Right... So I guess I won't be seeing you anytime soon? Convince you to visit the little girl?"

"I.. I wish I could. I really do, but I don't have a lot to say in that matter. HE is the one who decides. No matter what I want..."

"I still Hope to see you again some time. That it won't be as long as the other times..."

"I'll try mother.. I'll try..."

"Just promise me one thing. On your blood honor Aurelia"

"Of course."

"If something happens to me.. Take care of her. I beg you. Protect her."

"With my life mother."

"I will protect you with my life sister. I won't let anyone harm you" Tamsin whispered. "No one"

"Another one Steve" the blonde grumbled.

"My name is Pete" the barkeeper huffed.

"Do I look like I fucking care about your stupid name?" Tamsin growled. "I could arrest just like that so shove it, kay? And pour me another" Things had gone great so far... not. She never intended to intervene directly but what else could she do if the people "protecting" the next keepers were incompetent morons? Good in bed but unqualified caring for Lauren.

The Valkyrie in her felt drawn to the strong personality, the soul of a warrior inside the blonde but she had felt something else. A raw power that was about to break loose. The surprising thing was that Laurens companion, the brunette seemed to be the one emitting those vibes. Tamsin wondered. Could it be true or was she just blinded by a brave warriors soul? A soul of a human willing to fight? It was ridiculous to think that the brunette could be the other part of the prophecy. Never. That would be pathetic.

Gulping down another glass she wondered when she would meet Lauren again. She was sure it had to be soon. The girl needed some answers. Some honest answers that weren't tainted by some old, scared fools laws. She never really liked the blood king. She knew how manipulative he really was. The caring, grandfather like exterior was just a facade for his sinister plans hiding in his mind.

Since the end of the wars he held no official power anymore but the strings he could pull without anyone knowing were endless.

Minerva and the blood king had never been close. While the ancient always fought for equality and unison, the old fool clawed at his millenia old traditions. Separation was his agenda. Covered in the lie of peace he bred discord between the factions.

After the war the blonde had become dark fae. Why? Probably because the dark weren't pretending they were different like the light did. None of them were any better, at least you knew what you were dealing with when you had joined the dark.

She just hated politics. If she hadn't promised.. if that girl wasn't her sister things would be so much easier. She could have turned around and walked away but no somehow the destiny of the entire Fae world was in danger and she was in the middle of it. Fucking politics, fucking prophecies. Fucking PEOPLE. Hmm.. fucking people... yeah why not.

Emptying another glass, that seemed to have magically refilled, Tamsin turned around, eyes wandering. It was still early but the bar was a little bit too empty for her taste. And the worst of all there were no women. None only some fat bellied, base cap waring, bearded idiots sipping that stuff they call beer. How much she missed the European beer. It's been to long that a chilled Belgian, German or any "real" drought beer had wetted her throat. Not that ratpiss they serve here. Light beer? Who the fuck invented that shit? Is there something like light whiskey or vodka too? She needed to get back to Europe and take Lauren with her. She felt way to foreign over sea. Maybe it was because she lived almost her entire life all around Europe that she didn't feel like she fit in.

"Niiice rack" she whistled when she eventually spotted a very appealing ass wiggling her way. Maybe she would get lucky this night. Hopefully. Licking her lips lustfully she followed the behind of said woman. The light was pretty low, nothing special for a bar like this. The butt was still looking at her, she could swear it was winking at her.

The blonde beauty made another turn, destroyed another glass full of alcohol and turned back but to her dismay the beautiful piece of ass muscle was gone. "Fuck" she cursed frantically looking for the woman when she felt a presence beside her. A well known presence.

"I knew you still have the hots for me" Rena smirked.

"I have no fucking idea what you're talkin' about..." the blonde grumbled.

"Oh don't act like I didn't see you drooling and staring at my ass like some piece of meat Tammy"

"Fuck you"

"Already did. Was good but I have no desire for a repetition."

It took all of the blondes willpower to not rip the redhead into shreds. "What. Do. You. Want.?" she asked through clenched teeth.

Renas smirk turned into a serious look. "Answers. What's your deal in this? Why did you help? Why did you tell her? The full package. You are definitely not the person who helps out of generosity or chivalry. You are calculating. Never doing anything without something in return. I won't let you hurt her, got that? SO you better talk"

"Are you kidding me? I already told you I made a promise. What makes you think I'm gonna spill the beans only because you throw empty threats at me?" The Valkyrie was losing her patients. She wasn't a person to talk to people, to trust. And she would definitely not confine in some baby fae pretending to be a cop. Nope, not her style.

"Listen Tammy" Rena spat. Her face only inches from the blondes. "I promise you my threats are not empty. I can make you suffer. I have my ways. Believe it or not but the girl has grown on me over this short time. She is special and I will get rid of every threat to her personal safety" Renas eyes were glowing red.

"You have any idea who you are talking to? You really want to anger Odin favorite Valkyrie?"

"If I have to... Do I have to?" the redheads voice was vibrating. Something was creeping up in the blondes chest. Clawing at her insides, pulling, tearing. She wasn't easily intimidated. She had seen a lot, met a lot of Fae but the powers working on her were unknown to her. Her brain felt mushy like it was pulled, something drawn out and something else placed inside.

"Just trust me Tammy..." the glowing and the painful clawing stopped. Instead a warmth spread through her body. Engulfed her, held her safe. Happiness, calmness flowing her senses. Her control slipped without her being able to do anything against it. She felt helpless like never before but she didn't care. It felt way too good, to appealing. She felt like she hadn't felt for a really long time.

"Now tell me Tam..."

"I..." The Valkyrie was still fighting but the unknown power was breaking through her walls. "I'm...I'm her sister"

The influence immediately stopped and the redhead sank down shocked. "Holy shit"

A/N: Whatcha thinking? I know a bit Tamsin heavy but the next chappy will have more BoLo in it. Thanks again for all your favorites, follows and reviews. I love it and happily squeal whenever I see another email coming in informing me that people actually like what I'm writing down. I hope this revelation is not too disappointing. I originally planned for it to happen later in the story but then I thought... naaah.. Now's better.
