Chapter Three.

Sitting in the Dal, Tamsin finally managed to get the constant sense of fear to subside. Hades was the only person she had met who really terrified her, and now Bo had opened the box and brought him to their little part of the Fae world Tamsin knew she had choices to make. She knew no matter what she decided she would see this through. It was understandable that Bo saw Hades as the lesser of two evils, Tamsin herself wasn't sure.

"I know it's probably a really stupid question," Trick said as he put a bottle of vodka down in front of Tamsin, "but how are you feeling?"

"Stupid question that I don't know the answer to…" Tamsin replied, "I just…"

Shaking her head a little she sighed and poured a drink. The Dal was empty, it was pretty late and the colony was still reeling after the storm. There were so many questions that the city officials were struggling to answer.

"Bo is so sure that the only way to win this is by siding with her father…" Tamsin continued, "There has to be another way…"

"I meant how are you feeling physically." Trick said with a small smile.

"I'll be okay." Tamsin replied with a small smile of her own as she downed the drink before pouring another.

"I have a very uneasy feeling about trusting Hades," the Blood King said, "with everything I know, everything I have heard and read, we should be running for the hills. He isn't someone to be trusted lightly. But you know that."

Tamsin nodded a little, looking down into her shot.

"One of the many jobs I shouldn't have taken," she said, downing the drink, "but I was a different person then…I was selfish, I…"

"Didn't have to think about anyone but yourself." Trick said, finishing the sentence for her, "you spent a very long time out there alone by yourself Tamsin, not having to think about anyone else… you are a different person now, you have changed, grown…"

Tamsin smiled a little, it was an uneasy smile.

"I'm not sure what I can do…" Tamsin said, "I know this is going to end badly, but I don't know what to do…"

"You can trust me." Bo said as she walked into the Dal, "Trust that I know what I'm doing."

"I do trust you Bo…" Tamsin replied, "But you'll understand if I have difficulty trusting him…"

"We need his help," The Succubus said as she sat down at the bar next to the Valkyrie, "you know we can't do this without him."

Tamsin nodded a little.

"Yeah…" she said quietly, "it's the cost that is worrying me…"

"Do you want to know why I would have chosen to go Dark?" Bo asked, as she reached behind the bar and getting herself a glass before pouring herself and Tamsin a drink, "because it's who I am…"

Trick watched on in silence.

"No it isn't." Tamsin replied.

"But it is," Bo said with a little smile, "in the last 5 years everything I have done has been to prove to people that I'm not like my father… I thought, if I was seen to be siding more with the Light, then people would see how different we are. But we're not that different, not really. It isn't what the Light stand for that I don't agree with, it's the rules."

"There are rules on both sides." The Valkyrie said, worrying slightly at what Bo was saying.

"I know," Bo replied, "but with the Dark… it's more relaxed. That darker part of people is celebrated, not feared…"

Tamsin was sitting in her dingy motel room, the sounds of the traffic passing on the road beyond the car park. It was nearly 4am and the Valkyrie hadn't managed to get a wink of sleep. Every time she closed her eyes all she could see was burning blue eyes in the vast darkness. Bo's eyes. But as she looked into those blue eyes she saw no hint of the girl she had fallen in love with. The warm soul that resided alongside the Succubus was nowhere to be seen.

A knock at the door dragged Tamsin from her thoughts. Slowly she made her way to the door, looking through the peephole she saw someone she hadn't wanted to see again. She picked up her gun from the table next to the door, checking it was loaded she unlocked the door.

"What do you want?" Tamsin asked.

"So this is where you're holed up," Zeus said, pushing past the Valkyrie and walking into the room, "I would have pictured something a little more up-market."

"Compared to some of the places I've slept this is up-market," Tamsin said, leaving the door open as she turned and watched the other blonde look around the room, "I'll ask again, what do you want?"

"The same thing you do," Zeus replied, turning to face Tamsin, a smile on her lips, "a Hades free world."

"It's a little late for that…" Tamsin said.

"I realised, in retrospect, that my actions earlier may have been a little… premature." Zeus said, still smiling, "I thought that I would be able to get through to Bo."

"You underestimated her," the Valkyrie said with a laugh, "most people do."

"You, of all people, know how this will end Tamsin," the other blonde said, "the world that I showed Trick and Bo may have been caused by Iris, but if Bo sides with her father the outcome will be the same. You have been to Tartarus, you know what kind of place that is."

"You don't have to convince me that Bo siding with Hades is a bad thing," Tamsin said with a sigh, "I already know that. What you need to do is tell me why your vision for the future is any better."

"The Fae will prosper," Zeus said, her smile faltering slightly, "their value of life will vastly improve… we are the superior race here, Tamsin."

All morning Tamsin had the conversation with Zeus replaying over and over in her head. They had a mutual need for Hades not to succeed, Tamsin wasn't sure who had more to lose. They each had something that the other wanted. Tamsin had the key to keeping Bo grounded and Zeus had what Tamsin needed more than anything else, a way to undo what had been done. If Tamsin stopped Hades, Zeus would return her wings. The deal obviously appealed to the more selfish side of the Valkyrie's nature. But stopping Hades would also save Bo from becoming the thing that she feared.

Making her way towards the bar at the Dal, Tamsin was relieved to see that business was slowly picking up again following the storm. The atmosphere wasn't exactly welcoming, nobody was talking above a whisper, and Tamsin saw the looks she was getting as she walked to the bar.

"I see business is picking up again." She said to Trick as she sat down.

"If you can call it that." Trick replied with a smile.

"Any word from the clinic?" Tamsin asked, part of her was wanting to be there for Dyson, but as she didn't know where Hades was she didn't want a repeat performance of the previous night.

"The heeling is a slow process," Trick said, wiping down the bar top, "even though he is a shifter, Mark's healing is only slightly quicker than a humans, as he has yet to shift. Dyson and Lauren are still with him."

"And Bo?" the Valkyrie asked.

"No word," the Blood King replied, "I would assume that she's with her father, but I haven't heard from her today."

The day passed slowly for the Valkyrie as she watched the comings and goings at the Dal. There were whispers in the air of a new Dark power in town, Tamsin knew that although he was new to town, the Dark power they were talking about certainly wasn't new. Later Dyson and Lauren arrived, the doctor having talked the wolf into leaving the clinic for a few hours. Mark was in good hands, and Dyson needed to clear his head.

As they were playing pool the atmosphere changed again, the air almost becoming statically charged. Tamsin, Lauren and Dyson all looked towards the door as Bo walked in. Tamsin looked at Dyson and then Lauren, her brow furrowed as she noticed both had small smiles on their lips. She can't have been the only one to feel the atmosphere change. Bo was wearing her usual black leather pants, black top, black leather jacket. If the Succubus had a secret superhero suit, that would've been it. There was something different about her though. The Valkyrie noticed that the eye make-up was a little heavier than it usually was, but that wasn't it, there was something else. Tamsin saw an earie smile form on Bo's lips as she looked around the Dal, her eyes settling on Tamsin. Bo tilted her head a little before changing the direction that she was walking and heading to the pool table. As she got closer Tamsin noticed what was different. The blonde's heart dropped as she saw Bo's eyes. The black of her pupils was framed with blue, like Bo's eyes were gradually turning into their Succubus blue.

"You okay?" Tamsin asked as the Succubus neared the table.

Bo nodded, running her fingers along the top of the pool table.

"Yep," she said, stopping and looking at Tamsin, "never better actually."

"Is that right?" The Valkyrie asked, feeling very on edge.

"My father has been helping me learn to rein in my emotions a little better," Bo replied, "more rational in my judgements."

"And how's that working out for you?" The blonde asked, curious about the changes that she had seen so far.

"It's working out pretty well I think," Was the reply, "though I'd quite like a drink…"

"I'll get that for you." Dyson said with a smile, he looked at Tamsin, "same again?"

"Sure…" Tamsin said with a smile, "thanks."

At that moment the door opened.

"Someone call the police." Said the Fae who had just made a quick entrance.

"What's the matter?" Tamsin asked him.

"There's a dead guy outside…" the Fae replied.

Tamsin looked at Dyson and headed to the door, the wolf following closely behind. Both stopped in their tracks as they saw the body next to the trash bin. Tamsin crouched down next to the body, she checked for a pulse, even though she knew from looking at him that he was dead. She looked back at Dyson and caught his eye, shaking her head a little she sighed. Dyson got his phone out and called it in. The more Tamsin looked at the dead guy, the more she recognised the kill signature. Slowly she lifted her head, looking towards the door of the Dal. Bo, Lauren and Trick were all standing by the door. The human doctor and the Blood King looked shocked, if not a little worried. Tamsin couldn't read Bo's face. The Succubus didn't know Tamsin was looking at her, or if she did, she was hiding it well. After a few seconds Bo's eyes met Tamsin's.

"Left over casualty from the storm?" Bo asked.

"Not likely," Tamsin replied, "there were no reported casualties, and as far as I know all missing persons have been located. This is a recent kill anyway, the body is still warm."

"Any idea how he died?" Lauren asked.

"Too early to tell doc," The Valkyrie said, still looking at Bo, "you know that."

"What does it look like, Tamsin." Lauren said, starting to get a little frustrated.

"To me, it looks like…" the blonde started to say.

"A Succubus kill." Dyson said, hanging up the phone and looking towards Bo.

"Well that's crazy," Bo said with an uncomfortable laugh, "I was in there with you three."

Dyson looked at Tamsin who sighed as she looked down at the body.
