A/N: The song Lauren is listening to is Seven Devils by Florence + The Machine. The scenes between Lauren and Shay are happening simultaneously to the scenes at the Dal. I hope you guys like this chapter and it answers some more questions, not too many. This chapter is M rated. Enjoy! For Chris, Lachlan was just making sure Lauren wasn't running he had no idea what the old ash did, he just wanted to make sure she was there for his venom. She also needed to date Dyson to realize who she loved more being friends with him wouldn't provide closure. Yes, even at 28% she is stronger than the Ash and Morrigan, that's how powerful she is. She would have to be real low on power for them to over throw her, but that isn't what the Morrigan wants. Patience lol, hope that helps.
As soon as Lauren walked out the door Bo felt the euphoric feeling slowly leave her. Tears filled her eyes at Lauren's last words. Her head was swirling from everything that just happened. She turned to the wolf shifter next to her looking up at him she barely got out, "Dyson."
He knew it was coming he saw her face at Lauren's exit words, he had no idea what that meant but he saw the tears filling her eyes and spoke before she continued, "I know Bo. I have always known it was Lauren. I had to try anyway not just for me but for you, now you know what all of us realized long ago." He lifted her face so she would look at him, "Now how do we get back your girl?"
She was grateful on how kind he was being she missed their friendship, and the last thing she wanted to do was hurt him. He was important to her and she did love him just not the way she used to, it was a new love, like her love for Kenzi. She looked back down, "I don't think she is my girl to get back anymore."
Tamsin rolled her eyes; she always thought the succubus could get a little dramatic, "Okay so fuck it let's quit now then why waste time. Evony will be thrilled."
Bo shot her a dirty look through her tear filled eyes, "You weren't exactly innocent in this whole situation. You kissed me, I was shocked, and I didn't tell her because it meant nothing. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt her more."
"That worked well." Tamsin leaned her head back, "Ugh, you really can be frustrating. I didn't say I was innocent, and I don't regret kissing you. I'm compulsive it was in the moment."
"Ladies, ladies, as much as I love to watch a girl fight we do have to try and get Lauren back because in case anyone didn't notice she didn't stay here reminiscing she left, with Shay, a Dark Fae. While we are on that topic let's add in that it is all Dark Fae helping Lauren regain her strength right now, so Bo what can we do to help you get that sexy girl of yours back." Hale said as he was checking over Kenzi.
"Someone say Lauren, I love her."
"I know you do short stuff." Hale walked over to Trick, "Maybe I should put her on your couch till this wears off."
Trick opened the door to his private chambers and looked at Hale, "Put her down there, Stella and I have to look over some things in the books."
Hale brought Kenzi into Trick's chambers and walked back over to the group, "Why don't you think you can get her back?"
Bo looked up the tears were slowly streaming down her cheek, "As she was leaving I was wondering if she still loved me or in love with me, she said yes and I don't know. She loves me but she isn't in love with me."
"Don't get all bent out of shape darling that is a lot for a Seethe, but just in case we should move quickly." Everyone gave Vex dirty looks, "What that was supposed to be motivating."
"Bo, I have known you since you first showed up here, since when do you throw in a towel and give up. I know we all just learned a lot and I know you feel like you don't know Lauren anymore but she is still in there. The Lauren you love, the Lauren we all started to love is in there, and I know it hurts but it will hurt more if she stays with Shay." Dyson grabbed her shoulders and turned him to her, "Let's do what we do best and make a plan."
She knew Dyson was right, she had to pull herself together. She let her go last time, just walked out and didn't put up a fight. When she saw her at Taft Industries so much was going on and she knew Lauren was pushing her away but didn't have time to figure out why. This time she was going to be different this time she was going fight for her, she was going to show her how much she meant to her like she should have many months ago. She looked over at Vex and Tamsin determination burning in her eyes, "What can you tell me about Shay, Kaya, and the twins?"
LAUREN AND SHAY
Lauren got in her white Audi R8 and turned the key, the engine purred to life. She looked over at Shay, she was truly breathtaking, "Where would you like to go?"
Shay leaned over from the passenger seat and licked from Lauren's neck to her ear before whispering into it, "Your place would be a good start." She smiled and pulled out of the Dal parking lot and turned to her new place. One of the good things of getting her memory back was also remembering her bank accounts.
Lauren lived in a Fae owned skyrise that sat on the cusp of the light and dark fae. She pulled into her parking spot next to her red Ducati Superbike 1199 Panigale R. Shay was out of the car and walking towards the building, Lauren purposely walking behind her to enjoy the view. She felt the Seethe watching her and loved the effect she could have on her. Walking into the building there was a Dark Fae sitting at the desk, he smiled at Shay and Lauren as he saw them walk in, "Evening Ladies," he winked. Shay smiled, "Deco, I didn't know it was your shift. Unless Evony happens to come by no one is allowed up tonight no matter what." She walked over to the private penthouse elevator, and waited for Lauren to enter her key card.
"Your Light Fae friends seemed charming. Light Fae make all these cracks at Dark Fae but seems to me each one treated you like shit. And Bo, she seemed like a great girlfriend from what I heard you saying to her, hard to imagine why you two didn't work out. Least the Dark Fae has been good to you." She leaned into Lauren into the elevator and kissed her neck, "Real good to you."
Lauren softly growled and pulled back a little as hard as it was to do, it was going against everything her body was telling her to do. "They weren't perfect, but no one is. Let's not forget I was brought to the Morrigan because she thought I was human and wanted to kill me, she changed her tune when she realized what I truly was."

"Shay is incredible hot and most Fae both Light and Dark fancy her, ask the shifter." Vex pointed at Dyson who just looked down.
Bo punched Vex in the arm, "Something I didn't know."
Tamsin leaned over, grabbed a bottle of whiskey, opened the top and took a big swig. "From what I have heard she was a huge favorite of your Father's during the Fae wars. Which is why she said she could have been your mother, he really liked her, for many reasons of course. Shay was merciless. She was a warrior with fighting skills like an assassin. She sucked the chi out of every fae that she beat leaving their dead body behind. She took their chi even though she didn't need it which just made her stronger and more deadly."
"Great! Honestly that's great, super. So she is old, strong, and now even stronger because my ex-girlfriend is super charging her. Can't wait to fight her," Bo took the bottle from Tamsin and took a swig herself. "Did you ever sleep with her?"
Tamsin sighed, "I wish," She saw the look Bo gave her, "What you want me to lie because that's not really one of my strengths."
Bo shot back, "Neither is filtering."
"She only sleeps with women of equal strength or stronger, she's kinky like that, of course I tried but I am the wrong sex. I heard she likes it to be rough, little vixen." Vex added. "Kaya is different, she appears sweet and nice but she is naughty. She is Dyson's age so she has that on you crumpet."
Hale licked his lips, "Oh man she is easy on the eyes as well. I have had to deal with Kaya before. I haven't seen her in a long time maybe a year before you showed up. Kaya has long straight brown hair, light green doe eyes, a little taller than my little hybrid, and not as curvy as Shay." Bo put on a sarcastic smile, "Bo you are hot yourself and remember she loves you."
LAUREN AND SHAY
The elevator doors opened and Lauren stepped to the side to watch Shay walk in, she was never going to get tired of watching her. Shay turned to face her as she walked backwards into the hallway. She grabbed the bottom of her tank top and lifted up and over her heard showing her white lace see through bra and bit on her bottom lip knowing what she was doing to the Seethe.
Lauren stood still enjoying the little show Shay was putting on for her and knowing in seconds she would overpower and dominate her, moving at the pace she wanted. "Thought you were supposed to be resting tonight?"
Shay started unzipping her jeans and looked innocently at Lauren, "I could stop," As she started to zip up her jeans and felt her hands being held in place on the zipper, she knew Lauren stopped her. She moved predatorily out of the elevator, slowly, keeping her eyes locked onto Shay's. As she walked closer she let her eyes very slowly move down drinking in every ounce of her, every curve.
Shay felt her arms get pinned above her head as her back slammed into the wall. Lauren was directly in front of her and had her one hand pinning Shay's arms over her head wrist crossed over wrist. Shay let out a moan as she stared into those Emerald Green eyes, she knew Lauren was in full Seethe mode now. She leaned in and licked Shay's bottom lip as she used her free hand to slide up Shay's back and unhooked her bra. She used her one leg to push in between Shay's legs forcing her to open them further apart. Shay's eyes turned light blue as she felt Lauren release her arms and go around her waist pulling her closer to her as she was kissing licking her neck and making her way down to her breasts. Shay put her hands on Lauren's back and dug her nails deep into them as she dragged them up from her mid back to her shoulders. Lauren let at a growl as she felt the blood drip down her back, she kissed her way back up and held Shay's face back against the wall as the green chi flowed from her and her back healed. She unbuttoned Shay's jeans and started too slide back down her body, peeling them down she saw the white lace boy shorts, she knew they weren't going to make it to the bedroom. Lauren bit onto the top of her boy shorts and dragged them down with her teeth as her hands slid very slowly up her inner thigh. Shay tilted her head back as she felt Lauren's tongue in just the right place, at the same time her fingers entered her. Shay let out a labored moan.

Tamsin was opening her second bottle, "The twins are half breeds, Jade and Aurora. Jade has blonde short hair, maybe to her chin with hazel eyes and is my height and body type. Her twin has dark auburn hair, brown eyes, slightly taller and a more athletic build to her. They are around 500 and are complete idiots, I don't think you have anything to worry about with them other then they are fucking Lauren and you're not." Dyson gave her a look, and Tamsin rolled her eyes again.
"They are half succubus and half pixies. They sound all cutsie but pixies are nasty little buggers. They blow this smoke at you that leave you in a trance and then they cut your throat. Charming little trick." Vex added as he took a bottle of Vodka.
"Pleasant," Bo sighed. Kenzi opened the door and walked out, "Hey Bo-bo, okay I know Lauren slapped some juju on me but please tell me everyone else felt some attraction to her as well."
They all nodded, "From what the myths say they ooze sexual desire making it easier for them even though they don't need the help. Your sexual libido goes into overdrive, which man Bo I can't imagine what you had to fight."
Bo nodded towards Hale, "I couldn't describe it if I tried, even when her words where stabbing me like a knife the desire to rip off her clothes never waned, not even a little."
LAUREN AND SHAY
Lauren put Shay into her bed and got up, her eyes still glowing emerald green, she knew they would stay that way for at least another 20 minutes. Normally she would be on round 2 but she knew Shay pushed it tonight it was supposed to be her night to rest. Shay was out for now. Lauren got up from her King sized bed and walked across her soft black carpets as she went into the master bathroom to put on a short silk red robe. She left the bedroom and went down the stairs and walked into her kitchen.
There was an island in the middle that was marble, the counter tops were marble and all the appliances were chrome. She opened up a bottle of red wine and poured herself a glass. She grabbed the remote and put the radio on. Least she was back at 30% and got the energy back she used on Kenzi.
The song played on the radio:
Holy water cannot help you now
A thousand armies couldn't keep me out
Seven Devils all around you
Seven Devils in your house
She sipped her wine, thinking of Kenzi made her think of the whole group, and Bo. Her face as she answered her inner thoughts.
The song continued:
Before the day is done
And now all you love will be exorcised
And we will find you saying it's to be harmonized
And it's an even sum
It's a melody
It's a battle cry
She was honest she didn't know how she felt. When Bo touched her that energy was a surprise, and couldn't shake it. She remembered her feelings for Bo when she thought she was human but she also remembered the hurt.
The song finished up:
Seven Devils all around you
Seven Devils in your house
And what have we done?
Can it be undone?
In the Evil's heart
In the Evil's soul
She shut the radio, finished her wine, as she heard Shay moving upstairs, dropping her robe to the floor and walked back to the bedroom, determined to see if Shay might want a little more.
DAL
Trick and Stella came back up and Trick asked all the other patrons to leave the bar as he had to close for emergency purposes. As soon as everyone left the Dal he turned to his granddaughter, "Bo we have to get Lauren away from all those Dark Fae. It's true no one can force a Seethe to pick a side no one is powerful enough but she can favor a side and right now there is no reason she shouldn't favor the Dark…"
"No duh gramps, thanks for that update." Bo interrupted.
"Bo can you be serious for a moment, there is more." Once he saw he had everyone's attention he continued, "I was wrong about the prophecy Bo, I thought it was about you, the unaligned with extraordinary powers, set to rule the Fae and end the feud between Light and Dark once and for all causing peace between both under one ruler."
"Shit balls, is it Lauren, the whole Seethe thing right? I'm right aren't I?" Kenzi added.
Stella looked at the two of them, "You both can't help yourselves can you, let him finish, the prophecy isn't referring to Lauren neither. If it was meant for her she could have been the ruler ages ago. Seethe's don't pick a side even to rule."
Trick continued, "Lauren is different from what mythology describes a Seethe to be. It is hard for them to develop feelings but not impossible, and she did. She developed them at one point for Nadia and stayed with just a human that is what got her so weak and allowed the Old Ash to take advantage. Bo you know how weak you can get from being with a human. This shows you and Lauren are truly different then what everything says about your Fae types." Bo shrugged her shoulders, Trick shook his head sometimes his granddaughter could be so ignorant. "Bo don't you see, you're my granddaughter, the Blood King's granddaughter, and The Wanderer's daughter, you are stronger than any of your kind…"
Bo couldn't help it, "Tell Shay that."
"Bo, it's your child with Lauren! The prophecy is talking about your child with Lauren. That is who is meant to stop this once and for all. Both super powerful, both unaligned, your children will be unaligned and more powerful than any Fae; a Seethe daughter might even exceed Lauren's powers."
