Succubus POV

Brazenwood.

Brazenwood.

Brazenwood.

Bo rolled this word around her mind.

Why did it sound so familiar?


2 years, five months, and 2 days.

2 years, five months, and 2 days after.

2 years, five months, and 2 days before.

She couldn't remember anything.

Anything before.

Anything after.


Blonde hair.

Icy Scandinavian cheeks.

Soft lips.

Warm touch.

Cold eyes.

Tender eyes.

If you looked close enough.


Bo sat, on her side.

Head against the hard flooring.

Drool, spilling slowly from her dry mouth.

Back constricted.

Wrists, and ankles tied together.

So thirsty.

So hungary.

So lost.


Drip.

Drop.

Drip.

Drop.

The trickling was the only thing.

The only thing the brunette would know.

Would know would still be there in the morning.

It was a constant.


Flashes.

Visions.

Dreams.

Hallucinations.

Call them what you want.

Every few months.

For just a minute.

The minute Bo looked forward to.

A needle would press into her arm.

Pierced her vain.

Filled her with pain.

Bliss.

Emotion.

Love.

Was it love?

Was it just drugs?

The Doctor would force it into her.

Blonde.

Woman.

Beautiful.

Cold.

Yet warm.

And tender.

If you looked close enough.


Valkyrie POV

Emptiness.

Pain.

Nothing like she had ever felt before.

Doubt.

She would fill herself with it.

Was it my fault?

Did I send her away?

Bo was gone.

Out of her reach.

No matter what she did.

How hard she tried.

Who she hurt.

Who she killed.

It was still there.

Darkness.

The ounce of light she had left.

Gone.

Long gone.

Along with Bo.


Pages.

Pages.

Flipping.

Turning.

Pages.

Files.

Cases.

Tamsin followed every lead she got.

To the end.

That's all they were.

Dead ends.

She tore herself apart.

Looking.

Seeking.

It was destroying her.


Succubus POV

Where was she?

Her savior?

Her Valkyrie?

The only thing on her mind.


Her love?


Her life?


Valkyrie POV

That was it.

This was it.

Had she found the answer?

Don't look around.

Don't look over.

Don't look under.

Look beneath.


Run.

Run.

Don't stop.

Don't look back.

Just keep going.

To her.

Your destination.

Run.


Wham!

The door flung open.

The rodents scattered.

The dripping stopped.

Doctor?

No.

The footsteps were light.

Boots.

Jeans..

A body dropped to the ground.

A body lay beside her.

A blonde.

A beautiful. beautiful, blonde.

They're gaze met.

Her eyes were tender.

If you looked close enough.

Piercing emeralds.

With shades of blue.

Eyes that filled.

Filled with tears.

Strong arms.

Warm arms.

Comforting arms held her.

Soothed her.

A voice.

A voice of an angel.

So soft.

So smooth.

Icy Scandinavian cheeks.

Bulging muscles.

As she held her.


"It's okay,"

"It's alright,"

"Your safe,"

"I'm here,"

She whispered into her ear.

She held her so close.

So tight.

Her hands slid beneath her shirt.

She warmed Bo's body.

Everything was so perfect.

So innocent.


"Feed,"

The Succubus couldn't even remember.

Remember what it was like.

To feed.

It had been so long.

Too long.

"Feed, Bo,"

"Take my chi,"

"All of it, just drain me,"

The brunette shook her head.

"Please, Bo. You'll die,"

The woman had forgotten how to speak.

Her mouth moved.

But hardly any words came out.

"I-I cantake l-l-less- than-th-than thatandyou'll still live,"

Tamsin nodded.

She lowered her head down.

Brought her lips to Bo's.

She was right there.

She couldn't wait for Bo.

The blonde first outreached her tongue.

And licked the brunette's lips.

Just to make sure,

That the woman she had been seeking for fifty years.

Was here.

Was real.

She bit the bottom one, and sucked the small sore afterwards.

She had to taste her.

Bo lifted her mouth, and tried to kiss Tamsin.

But they're noses bumped each other.

They both giggled, but wasted no time.

Resuming their current positions, the Valkyrie connected lips with the Succubus.

This time, the blonde tilted her head slightly.

It was soft.

It was sweet.

It was caring.

It was compassionate.

It was gentle.

It was kind.

It was whole.

Tamsin caressed Bo's back, and neck.

Making sure the brunette would feel safe,

Comforted.

The Succubus extracted a blue stream from the blonde.

Chi.

So much, the Valkyrie began to fade.

Bo's life was being reinforced.

But the blonde's was being taken away.

Finally ending the process, the brunette had to hold onto the other woman, as she fell.

"Tamsin!"

The blonde wasn't stable.

Bo gave a little bit of chi back.

But the life force wouldn't do it's only job.

Give life.

The blonde put out her hands, trying to stop the relentless Succubus.

"I won't let you die, I've just found you," the brunette pleaded.
