flashback?-

Bo was getting ready to go look for the Dark Fae who had forced LouAnn to murder her own children and human lover. She did not even really know where to start but she could not stand to see an innocent woman be executed, especially one that may hold the key to finding her mother. As she started to think about all her contacts in the dark fae community that might be able to help, a knocking at her door interrupted her. Opening the door to see Lauren standing there, the doctor's aura shining so brightly the succubus was mesmerized by it for a moment. She wanted the doctor in such a bad way and she could tell the doctor shared that desire for her. The fact that she had not even used her powers on the doctor showed her how much that Lauren wanted her it was almost blinding.

"Lauren, what brings you to this neck of the woods?" Inviting the hot blonde in, however before she was able to take one step aside, she found herself being kissed like there was no tomorrow by said blonde. The kiss was passionate and deep causing the succubus to lean against the door or fall over due to her knees going weak. Protesting when the blonde ended the kiss that she had started.

"Sorry, I had to do that. I have been thinking about that all day, I came to see how you were doing with the whole LouAnn thing?" Lauren spoke as she moved inside the door and towards the couch, not noticing that the succubus was still leaning against the door. "Bo, are you ok? I am so sorry if that was inappropriate, I should leave.

"NO, I mean no. Its just been awile since someone took my breath away like that." Bo answered quickly shutting the door and grabbing the blonde's hands seating them both on the couch. "You should get like gold stars and trophies for kissing." As she moved in capturing the blonde's lips with her own. Stopping suddenly when she tasted the first hint of the doctor's chi. Instantly sobering herself to the reality of the situation and not fully comprehending how she had stopped herself from feeding on the doctor.

Seeing the succubus scoot a little bit back regaining her composure, blue eyes fading to back to brown. The doctor grabbed Bo's hand, "I wanted to tell you something, something that I have been wanting to tell you for along time but the right time never came." Lauren started facing the succubus her courage slowly ebbing out. "I hope you can forgive or at least still consider me a friend."

"Lauren, you can tell me anything." the succubus getting a little worried.

"I hope so, I need to explain this, " as she reached for the necklace that she always wore marking her are a ward of the Ash. "This means that I am servant of the Ash...his slave basically."

"I know, I saw one like at Trick's and commented on it he said what it was. But no one owns you Lauren." Bo stating it like it was law or something as close to it.

"Actually that is exactly what it means, I chose this," holding a hand up to forestall the sudden angry look in the succubus. "I made a deal with the Ash when I went to the Congo, I discovered a colony of fae that were experiencing a virus that was killing them. Although I did not know they were Fae at the time. I was able to find a cure for them saving the colony, which the Ash was greatful for. But my girlfriend Nadia had followed me wanting to surprise me, but she came down with the fae virus. The Ash told me that only the fae should have been affected by the virus. I used the cure that I had created for the Fae on Nadia, but it didn't work." As the doctor paused to collect her thoughts before continuing. Not daring to look at the succubus who had changed her world. "But humans are not allowed to know the existence of the Fae, but since I had helped cure the colony he agreed to help me cure Nadia. He placed her in a statis pod, while I researched everything I could to finding the cure in the Fae library. But to do that I had to serve the Ash as his slave, at the time I did not think about it only about saving Nadia."

"So you have a girlfriend?" Bo asked shocked by this story and feeling a little cheated.

"Yes...no." Lauren started, "its been 5 years and still I have found nothing that will help her. But somewhere over the years I realized that I was not in love with her anymore. That I was already falling out of love her when I went to the Congo. I just felt that I was responsible for her getting that virus, and that I needed to make it right somehow.

"And me?" Bo's voice just above a whisper, hoping to hear one thing but knowing it was too good to be true.

"And then you came along, Bo. And you made me feel alive again, I think about you all the time. And whenever I see you I get these butterflies in my stomach, and I feel like I can do anything."

"Thats good, cuz you make me good crazy." the succubus answered shyly for once. Moving forward to capture the doctor's lips with an intensity that almost made her lose control.

"I had to tell you that first, before I told you why I came over here. I want you to know that even though outside of this place I serve the Ash as his servant, but when I am in here I feel like I own myself." Lauren stared into Bo's eyes making it a point to get across. "So I am telling you this first, when the Ash found out I was coming over here he told me to distract you anyway I could. But this is me distracting you and failing, and this is me telling you the dark fae you are looking for is named Vex and he owns a club across town."

Bo looked a mixture of angry and shocked at the blonde doctor. "So why are you not distracting me? If the Ash ordered you to?" Anger suddenly flaring at the light fae leader.

"Because you have to make your own choices, Bo. That is what makes you...well you. That is what makes you different from other Fae. Sure I would love to keep you here and use my own form of distraction on you, but then it would feel like the Ash ordered me to your bed and I am better than that."

"Yes you are and thank you for telling me all that." Bo stated, feeling a desire to really just take the doctor to bed anyway. Leave the fae to their own twisted lives, but LouAnn deserved to be free. And hopefully she could get answers about her mom. "As much as I would like to be distracted with you, I really need to finish this."

"I know, and that is why I am coming with you." Seeing the succubus about to protest. "Perhaps seeing a ward of the Ash will stop Vex from doing anything that would hurt you. Just make sure if anyone asks, you tell them you accidently thralled me to tell you everything. The fae would easily believe that, after all I am only human."

Seeing the determined look on the doctor's face wanting to help her, Bo lead the way out of the clubhouse. "Just stay behind me, okay."

As they entered the club that Vex owned, both women wished they had decided to stay home.

"Well this night just gets better and better. The unaligned succubus come to grace my presence. And look you brought a pet...although does the Ash know you have his pet out?" Vex taunted.

"You made LouAnn kill her husband and children, you need to fix this. She did not do anything wrong except fall in love." As Bo placed her hand on the knife she was carrying. "Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way." As she placed herself in front of Lauren, who had suddenly decided this might not have been such a great plan now.

"Oh pet, there is always the fun way." As he made Bo, draw the knife out and place the blade on her stomach gently pushing it in just enough to break the skin. "See now this is fun. But we don't want to forget about the silly little Ash pet would we." As he made Lauren's leg move placing her next to the succbus. Not noticing that Lauren had her cell phone in her hands. "Now see we have a problem here, you are going to be trouble I see that. And well your friend here, is under the protection of the Ash so I can't kill her."

"Just let her go," Bo asked the worry evident in her voice.

"Now where would the fun be in that. But again I really don't have time for this. It would seem that I am having to leave the the city for awhile thanks to the Ash. So I am going to leave instead, but just to make sure you have things that will keep you occupy I leave you with this." Vex laughed as he looked at Bo then to Lauren and back to Bo. Bo could feel her arm holding the knife trace a small cut across her stomach muscles, the sharp edge leaving a trail of blood in its wake. The doctor looked with concern at the wound that Bo was giving herself seeing the pain that it was causing Bo.

"Stop you will kill her, and you know the Ash and the Morrigan are both interested in her. What would the Morrigan do if you killed someone she was interested in? Lauren bluffed, hoping the sudden arrival of a succubus who had yet to pick a side in the ongoing struggle between Light and Dark would stop his assault on the woman she was falling in love with.

"Your right pet, that would be bad." Vex answered clearly not wanting to get on the Morrigan's bad side. As he moved his hands forcing Bo to move the knife away from her body. And just as swiftly plunge the knife deep into Lauren's chest. The succubus helplessly watched as the woman she had fallen for bled out. The life draining from her eyes, Vex would not let her open her mouth to scream as she was forced to see the doctor's aura blaze suddenly then dim as the doctor's life bled out.

"Its not your fault...my fault for not distracting you better." as the doctor looked at the horrified look on the succubus. "I love you, Bo never forget that." As the last bit of life flowed out of Lauren, and Bo was suddenly able to move. She quickly looked in the mesmer's direction but could not see him and rather than give chase she held the doctor that she had killed.

"Lauren, please stay with me. I am so sorry, I shouldn't have brought you. I love you, Lauren." Hearing someone come in she looked up, not really caring who it was after all she had just killed someone that meant more to her than she had realized. Someone she had fallen in love with no matter the odds, as she saw Dyson and Hale come in followed closely behind by Kenzi. Not even sparing them a moments notice she looked down at the blonde doctor's lifeless eyes. "I am so sorry, baby. Her eyes closing not being able to see the body of the one that she loved most, the one that she had killed.
