A/N: Thank you all for adding this story to your favorite list, for continuing to follow all these crazy plots, and for your reviews. I appreciate all of them so keep them keeping. The reasons for Lauren's conflicted feelings are explained in this chapter. Enjoy!
Bo barely heard what Kenzi said to her. She was too busy looking over the new succubus who just showed up. Bo knew what she looked like Tamsin sent her the picture but seeing her in person was different. No longer just the new succubus in a text here she was in front of them gazing at her seethe. She knew she told Lauren she would be okay but she never anticipated how hard it was actually going to be. Just recently Bo started accepting that Shay would be slightly harder to get rid of then she hoped no way was she letting anyone else into the picture. Trying to control her temper was proving to be more difficult as she watched this new girl drink Lauren in.
Lauren smiled at the new succubus, "Hi Selene it's nice to meet you."
The new succubus was having a hard time forming words. The pull the seethe had on succubi was already taking over and it wasn't going unnoticed by Bo. The brunette looked at Lauren to see that she was looking over Selene. Bo couldn't help it she looked at Lauren's aura to make sure hers wasn't burning the way Selene's was. It definitely didn't match the new succubus but it was burning a little warmer then it was before. Jealousy took over as Bo shot Lauren a look through squinted eyes. She looked at Bo innocently.
Before the new succubus could burn any hotter Bo stepped in front of Lauren. "Hey Tamsin we are kind of having a private meeting right now maybe introductions can wait. Trick closed the Dal for this."
Tamsin saw the jealousy in Bo's eyes and couldn't help but taunt her just a little. After all she thought they probably all did need to show Lauren how much they screwed up when she was human. "Yeah well the Ash wanted them to meet before we took Selene to the compound. I went on a hunch that you guys might be here and what do you know I was right." She turned to Lauren, "Let me know when you can handle a Valkyrie because the offer is on the table," she winked at her making sure Bo saw it. Sometimes she thought it was too easy to taunt that succubus. It was all in good fun but Bo deserved to get a feel for what they put Lauren through. She remembered the hurt on her face when she told the blonde about her kiss with Bo. Karma was all Tamsin could think.
Vex guided Selene out of the bar as Tamsin followed. He could sense Bo's anger at springing the new succubus on Lauren in front of her. Tamsin's teasing didn't help any. Besides Selene wasn't even able to form words around the seethe yet, Vex completely understood the pull she had on fae was extreme. It was hard to imagine what a succubus felt near her.
When they left Bo looked at Lauren the jealousy was burning inside her. "Guess you can finish healing with her later."
Lauren was caught completely off guard. She knew Bo was jealous she saw it but she wasn't prepared for the sudden edge to her voice. "Really? You want to be like the Morrigan and the Ash deciding who I heal with?"
"Least you know her name. Did you know the twins names? How about Kaya's? Or Shay's?" the succubus spit out.
"Did you know the names of all the ones you used to heal with? How about the human you used when you called me in to help with the fae who ate skin? Did you know his name or hers?"
A fireball barely squeezed between the two of them. They were facing each other so closely Kenzi wasn't sure she could pull it off but thanks to Lauren's help she mastered her fae powers. She squeaked out a yes before she stopped the one man celebration, "Hey guys chill out. I think we have bigger issues here then Alice."
"Selene," Lauren corrected. She glanced at Bo after she made the correction just in time to see the succubus back as she walked towards the bar.
"I think this is wonderful. We just got awful news moments before. All of us know that Odin is trying to come back to this realm which is frankly pretty scary. Plus none of us know the number of Light and Dark Fae that have decided to team up to kill Lauren. This gives you an advantage and us some hope. With all these succubi you should be able to reach full power which we are going to need." Stella was looking at everyone in the group confused why no one else saw what she saw. This was the best news the group could have received. Lauren's dark fae couldn't keep up, clearly the seethe and the unaligned succubus still had unresolved issues, and this was someone else that could help bring her to full power. With the threat of Odin and Dark/Light fae working together, and who knows what the Morrigan had up her sleeve a full powered seethe was the best case scenario.
The blonde didn't pay attention to Stella she was still looking at Bo her eyebrows almost fused together. It infuriated her when Bo would walk away. Whenever anything got too tough or complicated Bo was gone. The memory of her not even trying to look for her at Taft Industries burned into her head. Same old Bo, when she was upset about the whole sleeping with her on behalf of the Ash she didn't give Lauren the chance to explain she just ran out. She just ran to a fight that could have killed her, ran to Dyson, and didn't give Lauren the smallest chance to explain. Even when Lauren asked for a break she could have stayed. She could have fought for them. Talked to her instead of walking out the door tears in her eyes but walked out anyway. That was why at Taft Industries Lauren knew all she had to do was be cold and Bo would walk away, matter of fact she counted on it and Bo didn't disappoint. Much like now. That's what was keeping her from pulling away from Shay. It was easy to see Shay was more mature. Shay would fight for Lauren she wouldn't just accept something she knew wasn't like the seethe. It was so frustrating to the blonde. Here she was probably the most powerful fae and she was getting all twisted over such a young fae. She knew it was useless she was never going to stop loving this unaligned succubus no matter how infuriating she could be, and right now that was a lot.
Bo was standing by Kenzi at the bar when she felt a strong pull. She knew it was Lauren and didn't try to fight it she was locked into telekinesis there was nothing she could do. One minute she was standing next to Kenzi the next she was by Lauren.
The blonde stood in front of her, "You are not walking away."
Bo crossed her arms obviously she wasn't walking away she was locked in place. She liked to have her rants then take some time to cool off usually with a case but considering the hour that wasn't going to happen. "Fine but not in here, outside."
Lauren looked apologetic at the group, "Sorry we will be right back."
"Be careful," Trick shouted out before they both walked out the door.
Once they were outside Lauren furrowed her brow at Bo. "You want to tell me what the hell that was about?"
"You want me to tell you or you just going to read my thoughts?" Bo couldn't stop herself the words came out.
Lauren stood up straighter you can tell the words wounded her. "Wow, actually no, I was asking you so you can tell me but you know what never mind it doesn't matter." She turned to walk back into the Dal when the brunette was in front of her.
The anger melted when she saw her about to leave. "Lauren I am sorry. I jus.." she stopped to collect herself, "I just didn't like the way she was looking at you. I got jealous okay and I handled it poorly."
"Jealous of what me saying hi?" Lauren stepped closer to Bo running her hands through the brunette's hair. The effect she had on her was fascinating to the seethe. She couldn't understand the hold this woman had on her. How she went from being furious with her sudden attack to finding it adorable. This had to be things from when she was human transferring over and the seethe part of her couldn't wrap around it.
Bo did a half smile, "No." She was quiet, "Okay now I wish you would read my thoughts. It wasn't you saying hi it was the way she was looking at you. Like she was a tiger that was starving and you were a deer. Plus her aura was burning hotter than a fire pit, and I know why she was brought here. She is beautiful so that doesn't help me feel better."
The blonde found this humorous. She couldn't help but laugh a little. "Do you just pick when you want to listen. Bo I said no one is going to pick for me, I am capable of choosing who I am with and who I am not with." She stepped back, "Which reminds me of your comment from earlier, I didn't know the twins names or Kaya's when I first met them. That's not who I am at all and you know that. I was almost completely drained of energy and the seethe was completely in control. The desire to live was instinct it sensed a succubus and reacted. I am in control of who I am now and as long as I never get that low in energy I will always be in control."
She looked at Lauren with that passionate look she tends to do whenever her eyes lay upon her. The shoe was on the other foot and Bo realized how mature Lauren really was. It took a big person to be near her and Dyson and not freak out the way she was doing. Bo couldn't help it she knew she wanted everything with this woman in front of her. She wanted to kick her own ass for some of the things she put human Lauren through. Bo always knew that she did love Lauren but she didn't realize how strongly till she thought she lost her for good. Clearly remembering being in her father's realm and hearing Dyson say that Lauren was most likely already dead. It was the most gut wrenching thing she heard. In that moment she knew she needed to get home she had to save Kenzi and find the person who stole her heart long ago. Never did she imagine Lauren would be an all powerful fae with everyone throwing themselves at her. In a strange way Bo was thankful because now she was more than enough for the succubus. All she needed was Lauren to sustain. Being monogamous with the blonde would be simple now. "I know I said I wasn't going to put any pressure on you and I'm not. I know I put you through a lot with Dyson. Took me awhile to figure out that my connection to him; he was the first person I was with that I woke up next to alive."
"This was really not the conversation I was thinking we were going to have," the blonde was teasing her.
"Point is he was the first fae I met that helped me without dying. Took awhile to figure out his place and what that bond meant."
"Bo, you're stalling which is cute, you can just say it."
This was getting her nerves bunched up. "I think we should try it. I think I can be enough for you and I want to give us a chance. I know I made mistakes when we were together, Lauren I was an idiot to let you go. I love you, and we work even when we aren't supposed to we do. No matter what has happened we always come back to each other."
The seethe was processing what Bo was saying and there was a huge part of her that wanted to say okay but there was still that tiny bit that said not to just yet. It wouldn't be fair to say yes to Bo when she still had feelings for Shay. That was what Bo did to her when she was human and she would not do the same thing. Plus there were other concerns, "Bo I want to say yes I do. Let me think about it for a day or two. There is a lot that can be a risk. We don't know if you are enough for me and I know I do love you so putting you into a drug induced coma isn't something I want for you. Would you like me to be with you and then have to leave to go be with someone else?"
"Like I had to do when we thought you were just human?" The pain she must have put this woman through, she shook her head she was a fool not to think of it then.
She lightly kissed the succubus. "Actually I wasn't saying that but it is a good point. Trust me it is painful." Bo broke out of her arms and went to go back into the Dal but she was pulled back to Lauren. "You are also right despite everything no matter who is at fault we always end up together somehow. I believe that might happen again so don't give up on us or me yet. I just want to make sure when I say yes to you that it is only you Bo. You deserve that and I want to give that to you. You got into my inner seethe. You're the only one that when I see you I have the strongest desire to hold you, comfort you, kiss you, protect you, and being a seethe all those things are extremely confusing. I am trying to merge my human memories and feelings with who I really am and it's overwhelming at times. Sometimes riding on my bike is the best way to clear my head and you always pop back into my mind."
Her lips crashed against Lauren's as she gave her an intensified kiss. "Let's get back in there. The best way to make sure we end up together is to make sure you stay alive."
When they walked back into the Dal Kenzi turned to Bo, "Everything okay?"
For the first time in a long time Bo felt like things were actually playing out exactly how they were supposed to. Except for the fact that there was a group of fae trying to kill her soulmate and her insane lunatic psychopathic father was trying to break through the realms. Those were definitely things to be concerned with but there was a part of her that found it all a little less scary if she was with Lauren again. Answering Kenzi she grinned, "Actually Kenz, I think it might be."
When Kenzi gave her the look that said you are holding things back she briefly filled her in on the conversation they had outside. "What about Alice?"
"I think this Ash is like all the other previous ones, an idiot, he wasted his time and resources."
Hale stood up, "Hey, former Ash here."
Bo laughed and pointed to the siren. "See what I mean."
ODIN'S REALM
Cedric walked down the cold hallway. He knew exactly where his king was. He was both terrified and excited, on the one hand he was back extremely late but on the other he knew Odin would be incredibly pleased with the information he had. Turning the corner he walked into the throne room, it was the room that Bo first was in when she was brought into their realm.
Odin was sitting in the throne and he had a straight face on. There was no expression on his face at all. No movement of his lips or eyes, he just sat there like a stone statue. Hearing Cedric coming in he still sat perfectly still.
Cedric bowed his head, "Forgive me sir. It is harder to watch your daughter with the seethe around. I am using the techniques you taught me to keep my head clear but it is not always that simple. They seem to be getting closer. However, it also would appear that your daughter is making her stronger."
The corners of his mouth twisted up in a sadistic smile. He leaned towards Cedric, "She has been spending time with my daughter? What about Shay when was her last meeting with her?"
He thought about it and remembered seeing Shay walk into the building earlier that day. "You gave me strict orders to follow the Seethe and that is what I did I do believe she was with Shay earlier today."
Odin brought his one hand up to his chin as he rubbed it he leaned back into his throne.
Cedric knew it wasn't wise to break him out of his thoughts but he had to. "Sir that's not all, it seems like there are Light and Dark fae working together to kill the seethe. She was attacked and wounded. The shifter you saved with your daughter found the seethe after the attack and brought her to your daughter."
This got the sorcerer's attention back. "The shifter did that? Interesting turn of events, he finally understands his place in her life. Did my daughter heal her?"
"Yes."
Before Cedric got to say anything else Odin stopped him. "How long?"
"Excuse me sir?"
Annoyance was clearly written on his face. The wanderer was not known for patience and he hated to repeat things. "How long did my daughter take to heal the seethe? How severe were her injuries?"
He thought about everything making sure to answer all the questions and even things he didn't ask. The last thing he wanted was to get Odin upset. The last time it took Cedric almost a month to heal, when Bo went through the portal. Odin was outraged he killed many of his own servants that day. He killed all of Bo's trainers and her servants as well. Cedric wasn't sure why Odin allowed him to live but he wasn't going to put himself in that position again. "She was injured but for a seethe they weren't as bad as they appeared. They might have been worse since she is not at full power and had to take on three fae attacks almost simultaneously. Her arm was bleeding; she was stabbed in the side and had an injury to her upper thigh. She used the wolf to slow down the bleeding in her side but only for a second. In that brief second it already had an effect on the wolf. He was able to snap out of it quickly and she was brought to your daughter. Isabeau met them outside she seemed extremely concerned about the seethe's health even though she was able to walk. It took your daughter around 3 hours to heal the seethe and then they left to go see the Blood King. I noticed how long I was gone and came back to report."
"I will have to visit the seethe again. I might not be able to manipulate her with words but I can push her in the direction I want. Find out more about her attackers, I only want her to die at my hands I have waited many lifetimes for this. Who is this group of fae and how many are there? They are foolish, it is not easy to win against a seethe, I should know."
"I promise you sir I will find out everything you want to know and report back to you. What about Isabeau, will you visit her?"
"No I won't have to Cedric, she will come to me. Everything is going just how I planned." Odin dismissed Cedric and ordered him to continue watching Isabeau and Lauren. The connection was there and the seethe was fighting it. He knew she would but it was irrelevant. His plan was forming and it was working perfectly. Soon he would be home. Soon he would be able to face the person who banished him to this prison. He would no longer be just a mist but full form and they would be able to finish what was started years ago. Only this time he would have something the seethe wanted he would have her heart, his daughter, he knew exactly what he wanted to happen and it warmed his cold heart to know that everything was falling into place.
Cedric walked down the chambers of the castle. He retreated to his room that was just shy of being near the dungeon. The dark fae didn't mind it he actually picked this room. It was appealing to him to be further away from Odin. Part of him wanted to step in and attack the seethe with the other fae. There was a lot of resentment he felt towards her for banishing this psychotic fae in this realm. He did serve him not that he had a choice, but he also did it because he knew how powerful Odin was. Cedric knew that his loyalties would get him far with Odin as long as he kept him happy. He would stay as long as he stayed on his good side but there was no good side to Odin. Even the way he appeared to care for Isabeau was a lie.
Cedric felt bad for Bo, that Odin was her father, that her mother was tortured by this man, and what Odin did to Bo mentally. He remembered the day Odin was able to reach Bo and bring her there. She felt broken and weak. Like she had nothing left. Her fear, anger, and despair made it possible for Odin to bring her to this realm. Plus the obvious fact that she already tapped into the powers that she possessed because of the wanderer. When he first heard her she sounded strong but you could tell she was scared. Scared of the man in front of her and scared not knowing where she was. It was easy for Odin to break her because she was already broken. She thought she lost everything and Odin fed into that fear. He was good at feeling fae's fears and preying on them. He saw a strong woman broken turn into something she didn't even recognize. The succubus that first appeared in the realm was gone replaced by a robotic replica of her father. He pitied her. Pitied the love she lost, the human she thought she loved and broke was actually one of the strongest fae he knew other than Odin. He wanted Bo to have a happy ending but that would mean the seethe would live and if she lived Odin would be there. Cedric tried to figure out why the seethe left him alive why she didn't just kill him. He drifted into sleep with those thoughts in his mind.
DAL
Dyson was sitting at the bar talking to Hale. The siren has spent so much time with Kenzi lately that Dyson was taking advantage of having some time with them both. He felt a light tap on his shoulder he turned and saw Bo standing there. He pulled out a stool for her. "Hi, what are you having?"
Bo was sitting with her grandfather and Stella since Lauren left about fifteen minutes ago. She went to go talk to Evony about the attack. One to see if she knew anything about it and two if she didn't then as much as Bo hated to admit it Evony could be of value. She looked over at Dyson and watched him talking to Hale and Kenzi. The brunette excused herself so she could walk over to her ex. She tapped him on the shoulder and he pulled out the stool for her. "Dyson, I just wanted to thank you for bringing Lauren to me. I know it couldn't have been easy for you. Believe me I know now more than I ever did; how hard it really is."
He smiled at his ex. "Bo all I ever wanted was for you to be happy. I knew long ago who you chose and I know I pushed you into giving me another chance only so you would know for yourself. You can be stubborn."
She raised an eyebrow, "Lauren pretty much said the same thing before well without saying it."
Dyson was happy for Bo. "Lauren is pretty important to me as well Bo. She saved my life. How do you repay your life? I don't know what it's like being a seethe but I know what I have read. Developing deep feelings is extremely rare but Lauren spent time as a human. When she thought she was human it was easy to feel all things remembering who she truly is and those memories are probably confusing. Her inner seethe needs to make sense of them because feelings don't make sense at all. Those human memories were so strong that it impacted her true self. I see the way she looks at you Bo it's in her eyes she truly loves you."
Bo was touched by her ex. It was slightly frustrating that everyone seemed to be ten times more mature then she was at times. She was a little embarrassed by her reaction to Selene. Bo knew she should have given Lauren the benefit of being in control. She overreacted and felt a little bad about it. She looked at the hybrid, "Kenz, I am going to head on home so I will see you later. By the way that fireball before almost singed my hair. Never go for a girl's hair."
MORRIGAN'S COMPOUND
Lauren walked into Evony's office and winced at the sight of the cracks in the dry wall. Even looking at it now it was hard to believe she was capable of doing something like that. The seethe in her reacted to the thought of choices being made for her again. Her eyes rested on Evony who was in her black nightgown that was extremely short. Of course her eye mask was on the top of her head. Pointing to the crack in the drywall, "I am sorry about that Evony. I lost control of myself and it's not who I am. Thank you for meeting me this late."
The Morrigan looked behind her at the crack in the drywall and grinned. "Honey that reminds me of some of the tiffs I've had with Vex through the centuries. You obviously never spent too much time with the dark we just chalk that up to having a bad day and get on with it. Why do you look like you raided Bo's closet?"
She glanced down at her outfit. "I don't favor sides. I am wearing Bo's clothes because I was attacked. Which is why I am here, three fae attacked me outside the Dal. Two light fae and one dark fae working together, their last thoughts were they should have stuck with the group."
Worried that she might be blamed for this Evony took a step back. "Lauren I didn't know anything about this but I will go through every frigging dark fae till I get an answer. You know I wouldn't plan an attack on you."
Lauren rubbed her forehead. "I honestly didn't think you did but I wanted you to be aware of it and see what you can find out from your dark fae. That means without killing them. I have no idea how many are in this group and when they are going to make their next move. For that matter I don't even know how many will be in the next attack but I am sure there will be another one."
Evony sat on the edge of her desk. The thought of dark fae betraying her was making her blood boil, and worse the seethe said she can't kill any of them. That just didn't suite her. "I will look into it and tell you what I find out. I will move quickly on this. Does Shay know about this?"
"No I saw her earlier she is home resting. I don't want to tell her yet let her recuperate. There is something else I need to ask you that I am sure you aren't going to be happy with. It will make me very happy so take that into consideration."
"Well spill it."
"I will need your help Evony. You are strong. I will need you and some of your strongest dark fae to help me when this attack happens if we can find out any information beforehand. The more help I have the better it will be. That means you will have to work with Vex and Tamsin again as well as Dyson, Hale, Kenzi and Bo."
Evony put on her sarcastic smile. "This news gets better and better."
The blonde stopped her, "There is more, Odin is trying to get back into this realm. He is dark fae but he will take your position. He will kill who he wants even you. If he decides he likes you then you have the potential to be a prisoner."
"Shit! Okay seethe I will work with that chirpy annoying group of fae for you. Realize Lauren I am doing this for you."
The seethe was appreciative she knew how Evony felt about the light fae especially Vex and Tamsin. "I understand, and as I promised before as long as you don't try anything foolish my protection stands."
LAUREN'S PENTHOUSE
Lauren was glad to be home. It was one hell of a day. She walked into her kitchen thinking over the day's events. It started pretty good. She was happy she got to talk to Trick, Shay's little strip tease didn't hurt, and then she was attacked. Finding out there is a group of an unknown number of fae that wants to kill her at any time. Then there was Bo. It was a little surprising how much Bo changed and at the same time how much she was still that same stubborn succubus. Maybe her Dawning did change her she said she felt new. It could also have been the time she spent with her father. The things he did to her maybe it made her stronger. She couldn't think of what that man might have done to Bo the anger was starting to build up inside her again.
Her thoughts were cut short as she heard her intercom buzz. She walked over and hit the button, "Yes?"
Deco talked into the intercom, "Lauren there is a person slash fae here to see you she said her name is Kenzi, should I send her up?"
Lauren glanced at the clock it was 1 in the morning. "Yeah send her up." She was hoping that everyone was okay. A sickening feeling took over her that maybe something happened to Bo after she left.
The elevator doors opened and Kenzi's eyes got as wide as golf balls. The hybrid stepped into the hallway looking all around as fast as her head could turn. They finally rested on Lauren, "Lauren, baby cakes, I love you and I am home."
All she could do was chuckle, Kenzi certainly didn't change. Not her mannerisms or sense of humor. Changing to half fae had no effect on the petite girl except she had powers now. "You came here at one in the morning for the grand tour?"
Kenzi started to approach Lauren but stopped as she got closer already fanning herself. "Sometimes it sucks being near you. The human you would have been looking for a way to control it."
Lauren started to laugh at what Kenzi just said as she opened a draw and pulled out a little case. Opening the case there was four syringes. "Yeah I guess the doctor part of me is here for good. I tried making a serum that would control the pheromones that I send out. Unfortunately the fae that I am just burns right through these injections no matter how much I tweak them. Funny I was human a little over 7 years but I was a seethe much longer and somehow this human part of me attached to the seethe."
The petite goth held her stomach as she laughed. This was Lauren no matter what powers she possessed. "I am actually happy as hell to see that. That is not why I came here. I am so not good at the mushy stuff so work with me on this. I wanted to thank you for helping me with my fae abilities since you put the whammy on me I have had complete control."
"Yes I saw that as the fireball flew past my face," the blonde smiled.
"Yeah, shit dude sorry about that but you two can drive a bitch crazy. I also owe you an apology Lauren. I was hard on you. I didn't trust you I thought you would hurt Bo you did it so easily with the Ash and Nadia I guess I was just waiting for the next Dr. Freeze shocker. I was wrong and I know that. I am sorry and it was way overdue. Also thanks for saving Dyson's ass you had every reason not to but you did it anyway. Even when you were human you were bigger than any of us."
She couldn't help but grin at the hybrid. Kenzi looked so uncomfortable with the mushy stuff but she knew she was sincere. "Thank you Kenzi it means a lot to me but you didn't have to come here at 1am to tell me this. I would have been here tomorrow."
"Shit doc the way it was looking we can't be too sure of that. Those weren't the reasons I came here but since I was here I figured get the barf in my mouth cute shit out there."
"Kenzi I am so glad you didn't change."
"Oh well don't every worry about that. Even you couldn't change me, unless you made me completely human again, which would just be mean and make you a mega bitch. I had to come here to slap some sense in you and not physically."
Lauren sat on her stool by her kitchen counter bar. "I'm listening."
"Bo loves you. She wants to fight for you but holds herself back because she thinks she doesn't deserve you. She didn't think she deserved the human you that's why she accepted the break so now that you're all fae goddess she really feels like she fucked up. Bo told me how you said to her that if she didn't fuck things up to begin with there would be nothing to fix. That's where you are wrong. This had to happen. Bo needed to be the stubborn immature ass that she is because it showed her that you had her heart not Dyson. She had to fuck up because it made you leave. Probably because you thought she'd run back to Dyson and you didn't want to see it in your face. Which you were wrong about by the way but that is a whole other topic. Anyway if she didn't turn everything to shit you wouldn't have left and then you wouldn't be your true self. The seethe goddess that you are. One thing that the prophecy shows is you both belong together. Bo set you free, don't you see that? If it wasn't for Bo coming here Aifie wouldn't have shown up. Aifie killed the old Ash and his death was a huge part in freeing you. When Lachlan died Hale became the Ash and you used your friendship as a chance to run. All this from Bo showing up here in your world like the fae universe hand delivered her to you. Plus it's you and Bo you have history, you don't with Shay, she's your Dyson."
The blonde was processing everything the hybrid was saying. She knew she was right. There wasn't much to say except, "Kenzi what if she isn't enough to bring me to full power am I supposed to ask her if I can go be with someone else for the night?"
Kenzi slapped her forehead. "Guess what maybe she is enough but you won't find out by not getting together. Shit I thought you were the big powerful fae and yet the simple hybrid once again figures everything out. I am tired of doing both your work. Now get me a glass of some kind of liquor and show me this crazy ass place that I might have to move into. Also not asking," she laughed.
"Kenzi I always knew you saw more than anyone gave you credit for. You are a pleasant addition to the fae family. You're right about everything you said. I wasn't trying to be mean or heartless despite the fact that you call me Dr. Freeze. I was trying to make sense of it. Again as I said before I was always a seethe way longer then I thought I was human. Since those feelings and memories didn't go away they transferred over to who I truly am. Being a seethe I have never felt any of those things before. The strongest I ever felt was towards Nadia and it was nothing compared to the feelings the human version of me had for Bo. We all know how it turned out with Nadia. I blame myself for that. I cost Nadia her life. I don't want to do the same to Bo. Bringing me back to 100% can be her death, but you are right maybe it wouldn't. There is truly only one way to find out." She walked over to get a bottle of red wine lifting it to show the hybrid. Kenzi got the glasses out as Lauren poured them both a glass, "Now like you said enough with the mushy stuff and let me give you a grand tour."
As they were coming back down the stairs Kenzi pointed to the dining room. "Okay I am not drunk and I see smoke. I swear I didn't throw a fireball."
Lauren stood still and started to push the petite girl behind her. Narrowing her eyes she said, "Kenzi meet Odin, Bo's father."
AN HOUR OUTSIDE OF TORONTO
The small under fae moved swiftly out of the way as Udano finished throwing the last of the chairs he had set up. He had delivered the news to the new leader that the three fae that left the group attacked the seethe and had died. Udano became furious at this new information and has been tearing the building apart for close to ten minutes now. The smaller fae was trying to stay out of his way his rage was notorious and he certainly didn't want to be a victim to Udano's anger.
When Udano stood still with his back towards him the smaller fae waited for him to speak. He couldn't be sure if he had calmed down yet or was just resting. Finally the tall under fae turned towards him, "Jyn thank you for reporting this news to me. Tell the others we no longer have time to waste. The seethe will be going through the light and dark compounds trying to read thoughts. If she is aware of us now we will die. Everyone must get who they trust now. We have two days till we meet again tell them we must reach at least 60 in numbers the seethe has friends who will fight beside her. We studied them all we know their weakness and strengths. She can't protect everyone and herself. Tell them we will strike before the week's end, before she can find us."
