A/N: Hi everyone, as always thank you for your continued support with this insane story. Thanks for following it, adding it to your favorites and your killer reviews. As a writer all three are awesome to get. I love hearing everyone who reads this story thoughts and opinions. Finally the first battle is here oh and of course a little bit of jealous Bo.
VENUS AFTER DARK
Shay was on stage for 20 minutes and the seethe sat there the whole time. Lauren even ordered a drink and a shot. The blonde already finished both. She knew she should have turned around running out of there but she had to know what Shay knew. This was the first possible lead the seethe could have. Both the light and dark got no answers and she knew time had to be closing in on her. Thanks to her last few days with Bo she was already at 76%. It wasn't full power but it was pretty close. And looking wasn't wrong, right? She wasn't completely sure of that answer but for now it sounded logical. Shay walked off the stage and disappeared behind the door that clearly stated employees only. The seethe looked around her. She didn't mind having to wait for her.
Between the other fae on the stage and the cocktail waitresses Lauren never heard Shay approach her. She felt the hand on her leg and whirled her head around to stare into those deep blue eyes. Shay sat on the seethe's lap so she could talk into her ear since the music was blaring. "I have to do a lap dance. I'm still working right now. You can stay till my shift is over or pay for the next lap dance and I can talk to you then." With that the succubus was off her lap grabbing the hand of a dark brown haired fae leading her into a room that said private above it. Super huge gigantic trouble, no scratch that universal, explosive trouble. The blonde tilted back in her seat while she debated if she should stay longer and wait for Shay to be off of work or pay for the lap dance. Either decision was going to get her into a shit load of trouble. Wrapping her head around that realization she ordered another shot and drink.
LAUREN'S PENTHOUSE
"Twenty minutes. She called me twenty minutes ago. How slow does Shay talk?" Bo was yelling to her friends as she paced back and forth. Shay was the one succubus that really worried Bo. When she first saw Lauren again and she was with Shay they looked good together. They looked happy and worse Shay never did anything wrong to Lauren while Bo had her whole fucked up past with her. She knew she could trust Lauren. She always trusted her lover, but she didn't trust the slutty succubus. Her blood was boiling. The blonde called her and said she had to go to Shay's work that she had information that could be helpful. That was twenty minutes ago.
She scrolled through her phone calling Lauren for the fifth time. Again she got her voicemail. "I sent four texts and called five times." She turned to her friends for some kind of comforting words.
"Bo, I love you, but you are making me want to hurl. You haven't stopped moving for ten minutes." Kenzi strutted over to her grabbing her friend to stop the pacing. "D-Man can track her number." Dyson shrugged his shoulders, "I can get it in less than five minutes. Make a call they put the number in and we get the location."
"Then do it," Bo looked at the shifter like it was the obvious thing to do. The call came back relatively fast. Hale pointed out the address was dark fae territory and all of them were light fae expect for Bo. She picked up the keys to Lauren's Audi R8. "I'm taking this baby." She flashed a grin as she tossed the keys in the air and caught them heading to the elevator.
Kenzi turned to Hale, "I hate that I had to pick a side I want to ride in the hotmobile." Hale pulled Kenzi onto his lap, "I know you do mama, next time."
VENUS AFTER DARK
The blonde was still sitting in the seat she originally fell in. Shay finished her lap dance and since Lauren didn't make a decision yet the dark haired succubus had to do another lap dance. She threw back her third shot as she made her decision. Waiting for Shay to come back out she held up a fifty. The succubus glided towards her. She bent over the seethe, "You can follow me to the private room and put that money anywhere you want." She grabbed Lauren's hand pulling her to her feet as the seethe followed her to the private room. It was official Bo was going to kill her when she had to tell her this. If she didn't have her bike she would have had another five shots.
Not only was the thought of having to tell Bo about this bad enough but it was Shay. She was with Shay for four months. And now she was going to be dancing all over her kind of like how she did in her penthouse not that long ago. Maybe she should have waited for her shift to be over. The seethe just figured it was better to get out of this place faster rather than later. Behind the curtain was the room for the lap dances. The room had a chair in the middle and a sofa against the right wall. Lauren raised an eyebrow, "A sofa?" Shay laughed, "Some like to lay down while one of the girls crawls up them." Yup there it was, she knew it, and that confirmed it she shouldn't have asked. The music was still loud but she was able to hear without having to speak in each other's ear.
"So," the seethe asked. Shay pushed her into the seat, "Cameras, you don't want to get me fired do you?" Lauren knew that Shay was going to have to actually give her a lap dance while she told her the information. Yeah she was screwed.
Bo barged into the club. She scanned the entire place but didn't see Lauren. The brunette knew that she had to be here because her bike was outside. She had a strong desire to kick the bike over. The succubus grabbed a cocktail waitresses hand as hers glowed red. "Hi there beautiful, do you know where Shay is?" She wasn't going to waste time and her thrall would help with that. The waitresses smiled wide at the succubus, "Yeah she went with a blonde into the private room." The brunette had to focus on not getting angrier, "What happens in the private room?" The waitress was still smiling, "Lap dances right through that black curtain."
Bo quickly let go of the fae's hand as she marched over to the curtain. She took a deep breath and peered through the curtain. That's where she saw Shay practically naked grinding her ass on her girlfriend. The little bit of clothes she did have on were all see through. She watched as her lover seemed to appreciate Shay's assets. The succubus was beyond furious. She slipped into the room, "Hi baby, miss me?"
Lauren closed her eyes. This was really really bad. Shay stood up, "Hey Bo." The brunette turned to the older fae, "Don't hey Bo me. Bitch I should knock you out." Shay's eyes glowed blue, "Love to see you try." Lauren got in between the two. "Bo stop, I can explain." The brunette looked over Lauren's shoulder to the older succubus standing behind the seethe. "You don't have to." She turned around and stormed out of the room. "Shit," Lauren said more to herself as she chased after Bo not wanting to use her seethe abilities on her.
The seethe caught up to her outside grabbing her arm. Bo faced her with her dark blue eyes practically growling. Lauren let go of her arm, "Good act like your father there is the solution. Do you always have to storm away without giving me a chance to explain?" Hearing her words the succubus's eyes returned to their normal brown color. "I'm not sure I want to hear it."
"Do you think I would, what, screw Shay? Throw away what we have? Like I said to you many times what we have, always had. Babe, I love you. I came here not knowing this is where she worked all I had was directions. When I got here I thought about leaving but then I weighed my options. Stay here and find out information or get blindsided while some of our friends died. I opted for the information." She knew Bo had a right to be mad. She couldn't imagine what she would have thought if she walked in seeing Bo with someone she used to sleep with dancing on her like that. Actually the thought of it made her stomach turn. The blonde needed her to understand.
The brunette stepped in front of her girlfriend sliding her hand into her pocket pulling out Lauren's cell phone. "You missed all my calls." She slammed the phone into her hand. The seethe saw the missed calls and texts. She mentally slapped herself. "I didn't feel it go off I wouldn't purposely ignore you. Bo come on we got passed all this starting new remember?" Here she was the most powerful fae begging her girlfriend to be understanding.
The anger was gradually leaving the succubus. She knew that Lauren didn't cheat but seeing Shay all over her wasn't easy to swallow. After all Shay was extremely sexy. Hell if she would have went for her if she was single. "What information did you get?" They came so far she wasn't going to throw it away at her insecurity. She still wasn't happy about the whole thing.
Lauren grimaced, "Actually nothing," she grabbed Bo's arm as the succubus was about to turn on her heels. "She was on stage when I first got her. I had to wait twenty minutes. After she did a lap dance she told me I could stay till her shift was over or get a lap dance and she would be able to tell me. I thought getting out of here and back to you faster was the best option." The seethe knew it sounded bad however it was the truth.
The succubus headed back towards the club taking Lauren's hand. "Then let's see what your ex knows together." Bo knew it was important but from this point on when Lauren was going to see Shay she was going to be right there. Letting the older fae know the seethe was hers.
Shay saw the two walk back in. This was not what she was hoping for. She did get Lauren there though and the seethe definitely seemed enthralled so not all hope was lost. For now she would play nice with the young fae. Keeping Lauren alive was priority or there would be no seethe for her to steal from the brunette. Bo went right up to the dark fae. "Both of us private room," the brunette headed towards the room she just saw her girlfriend in. "Kinky," the older succubus said as she followed the power duo.
The seethe explained to Bo that there were cameras in the room and Shay would have to actually give the lap dance while she gave the information. The brunette stayed quiet while Lauren explained this. "Okay you sit on the couch and I take the chair. Shay can give me the lap dance and let me know what she knows." There was no way she was letting the dark haired fae touch her girlfriend again. She could imagine the things these two have already done together. It was something she didn't want to picture.
"Is it wrong that this totally turns me on," the blonde said in her girlfriend's ear before taking her seat on the sofa. The seethe looked on as Shay slid her body down Bo's. Lauren knew it was turning Bo on. It was her nature besides she knew that the seethe was watching. She watched as Shay straddled Bo dipping into her. Looking like she was licking Bo's neck but the seethe knew she was whispering information in her ear.
She watched as Bo's expression changed from hot to shocked, "Oh shit." Lauren got up and came over. "What is it?" The brunette talked to both of them. "That's Cedric, he was the one who was here. Good news he has nothing to do with the fae that are trying to kill you." Shay was gazing intently at the younger fae, "And the bad news?" Bo stood up, "He is my father's right hand. He can leave his realm and enter ours." Shay was the one who took the seat now.
Lauren turned her attention to the older succubus. "You were his right hand during the wars. Was he trying to reach out to you?"
"He didn't say anything to me. He heard my name and freaked out. That's what set off some alarms. I figured the fae trying to kill you knew your friends and heard my name. I had no idea it had anything to do with Odin." She wondered if Odin was trying to reach out to her. It didn't make sense that he would walk away. What was worse is if he was trying to reach her she would have to choose Lauren or Odin. That was definitely a predicament she didn't want to be in.
"He might have used us to give him access to you. Bo he had access to because being his daughter she tapped into his powers. I was the one who banished him so when my curse was lifted he had access to me. I gave him access to Kenzi and now we might have both given him access to you." Lauren knew this wasn't the information she was hoping for but it was still important. Odin himself has told the seethe what Shay meant to him. She recently ended whatever it was she had with Shay. Odin could be searching for a weakness to get his ruthless warrior back. Having been with Shay intimately she knew the power that the older succubus possessed.
Shay got up from the chair, "What do you mean access to me. Lauren what the hell am I supposed to tell him. You fought him you know his power. I am not a seethe I don't have your strength and power." She didn't want to have to make this choice and she knew Odin wouldn't give her an option. If she picked Odin she would have to kill Lauren. If she picked the seethe he would kill her.
The seethe felt sorry for Shay. She never did anything wrong to the blonde. Plus if it wasn't for Shay she would have been a lot weaker for a lot longer. To the seethe's surprise it was her lover that spoke up first. "Shay we won't let anything happen to you. I know the power my father has. Not only does it run through me but I spent some time with him recently. We will do all we can to protect you." The older succubus appreciated the words but she knew only Lauren would be able to protect her. No one else could match Odin's powers and she highly doubted his daughter even knew half the powers the man possessed.
After discussing the wanderer with Shay for a little longer the two left the club. When they got to the parking lot Lauren saw her Audi next to her bike. Bo smirked, "It was faster than my car." Lauren just raised an eyebrow. "And I'm sorry I stormed in there all Faetal Attraction." What could she say this woman had her heart. She kissed her forehead and jumped on her bike.
LAUREN'S PENTHOUSE
Dyson, Hale, Kenzi, Tamsin and Vex were all at Lauren's place when the two returned. They had pizza boxes on the coffee table as the group was sitting around talking. "And the power duo has returned. Glad you could make it seeing as how we are all risking our arses for you. Life is just peachy."
"I see you found Lauren. Glad I could be of help," the wolf said as he handed them both slices of pizza.
"Yeah led me right to the strip club that Shay works at," Bo gave the blonde an innocent look.
"No its okay I get it. She walked in on Shay giving me a lap dance." Lauren went with it. Kenzi gave her a disapproving glare. "Come on every time I back a team I look like the tool. What the hell hotpants?"
Lauren explained to them the situation she was put in and the decision she made. Everyone seemed to understand it. The succubus still had a touch of jealousy showing through. "Any luck on your end," the seethe asked Tamsin.
"We have shit. Vex, Carrig and I went through dozens more after you left and no one knew a thing. Or at least lied really well," she had a bottle of tequila she was currently sharing with Kenzi.
The blonde's cell phone rang. It was Evony. "Hey Evony, please tell me you got something."
"I take it that means the light fae still have nothing to go on. Big surprise there, I do have some information for you. I am waiting for Shay to get out of work. You can meet me here." The Morrigan was going to make sure all her dark fae were present for the information she was able to retrieve for the seethe. After all it was her dark fae that was able to prevail for the seethe.
"I have my light fae friends with me." Lauren appreciated that Evony had the information but since she still didn't completely trust her she wasn't going to bring her friends to the dark fae compound.
Evony sighed this group was a constant thorn in her side. Almost like a splinter that you ignore till it becomes so embed into your skin that you no longer know how to get it out but can feel the pain it causes. This group was her splinter. Impossible to remove with the pain still present, "Fine, we will meet where Bo had her Gathering. Meet us there in two hours."
"Shay is at work still. I just got back from there."
That caught the Morrigan's attention. That just made her so proud of her oldest dark fae succubus. She was able to get the seethe down to her job. "Honey, the owner of that club works under my lead. When I tell him to let Shay out early he will. See you and the happy sunshine group in two." She hung up the phone before her thoughts of distaste were read by Lauren.
"Evony found out information wanted us to go to her compound. Since I didn't think it was the smartest idea for all of us to walk into there we agreed to meet where Bo had her trial by combat." The blonde explained to the group.
Bo put on a sarcastic smile. "Oh good, I had so much fun the first time I was there. I was hoping I would be able to return."
The group spent the rest of the two hours talking about what each of them did the five months they were apart. Bo finally explained to everyone how her father got her and why she stayed. She also explained what made her return. It felt good to no longer hold that secret from all of them. Although she was ashamed of what she did while she was in his realm she also knew what Lauren said was true. She wasn't her true self when she was with Odin; she was just the weaker female version of him. Tamsin and Dyson explained there broken bones and the fae hospital that they were in while they recovered. Of course they left out Seamus and where the place was located. Kenzi told her horror story of how Mossimo almost killed her but how her hero saved her literally. Hale got to explain how he was always a few steps behind Kenzi but got there in enough time to save her.
Lauren explained what she did after she saved Dyson at Taft Industries and how she ran. She told them the entire story about Mark and Joe. Naturally a few of them made a few jokes about Mark and the seethe. "Wait you left the dude a Dear John. What you say I think I am a super powerful being and need to have tons of sex to regain control of my powers," Kenzi was laughing as she spoke. Which encouraged the rest of the group to find out about the letter the seethe left the poor human.
"It was bad. I know it. I panicked. It's not every day you think your just some human doctor slash scientist slash fugitive." Even the blonde had to laugh at how ridiculous it sounded. "Alright, I pretty much said that his family was wonderful to me and I enjoyed getting to know all of them. I could never thank them enough for the kindness they showed me. And for that reason I had to leave because I was not almost abducted instead I ran from people who were hunting me down. They had reason to believe I did some terrible things and I could lead these people right to their door step. The best thing I could do for Mark, Joe, Carol and JJ was to get out of their lives before anything happened to them. I told him the best thing for him was to forget he met me and not try to look for me. I will always remember all of them." They all made awe sounds at the seethe who gave them the yeah yeah look.
Then the group explained the leads they chased trying to get to Bo. They included all the dead ends they got while looking for Lauren. Which Dyson added made sense now since she used fae scents to throw them off. When she was far enough away her own true fae scent probably started to mask the trail as well. Lauren and Bo listened to their friend's stories about how they fought tons of different fae looking for them. She felt horrible that she allowed her father to manipulate her so easily. Lauren also felt bad for running how she did. Fortunately for all of them that she did without a seethe if Odin returned they were all screwed.
No one realized how much time passed till Tamsin pointed to the clock. "Are we meeting my old boss or what because we are supposed to be there in twenty?" The group got up and moved fast. Kenzi asked if she could drive the Audi to which Lauren told her next time when she didn't spend the past two hours drinking. Besides the seethe decided to take the car that night, and with that they all headed to the parking lot. Bo and Lauren got in the Audi. She made a quick call to Carrig and let him know what was going on. He said he would get Selene and meet them at the building but he would be there a little later. Hale, Dyson and Kenzi got in Hale's car. Vex and Tamsin got in her new car that the light supplied her with. Following each other they made their way to the abandoned building.
THE GATHERING BUILDING
When they pulled into the parking lot Lauren noticed Evony's car, as well as Shay and Kaya's. She scanned the area and didn't see any other cars. They all parked their cars together near the dark faes. They went into the building the same way everyone does when a trial is happening. Evony was standing with Shay, Kaya, Jade, Aurora and the goons she used in the interrogations. Instead of two of them there was about five. They were where Bo had to fight.
Lauren, Bo, Kenzi, Hale, Dyson, Tamsin and Vex headed towards them. The Morrigan shot Vex and Tamsin a distasteful look. "Good the whole gang is together." She made no attempts to hide her sarcasm.
The seethe stepped forward. "What did you get?"
"I would tell you to sit down for this one but since we have no chairs it's pointless." One of the goons came forward and opened up a chair for Evony. "I brought my own." She took her time getting comfortable in the chair. "Now before I start I have to warn you that you might not be overall impressed with how I got this information."
Lauren shook her head. She should have known Evony wouldn't have kept her promise. Typical dark fae behavior, "Who did you kill?"
"Ouch not nice to point fingers." She waited to make sure Lauren didn't have further comments. Once she knew the seethe wasn't going to say anything else she continued, "I didn't kill anyone after all I made a promise. I did have some fae in my dungeon that pissed me off. Really they gave me no choice. So I went with the old fashion way of torture."
It wasn't worth the blonde getting upset about. What was done was done at least she knew that Evony didn't kill the fae. She wanted to ask what kind of torture but she didn't have to as her hybrid friend beat her to it. "You went all medieval on their ass," the half breed piped up.
"If I did that they would be dead. Not many survived medieval torture. I know I was there." The Morrigan didn't really feel the need to respond to a half fae but since the seethe was there and it was one of her friends she decided to play nice.
"You know the new age torture. Starving someone, lack of sleep, throwing matches on them, burning pokers, breaking a few bones," seeing the disapproving look the seethe was giving her she tilted her head, "what they will heal and live. See no promises broken, just bones." She couldn't help herself. "Frown all you want my method worked and I got information."
"You going to share it or did we come here to watch you praise yourself," Bo didn't care to hear the Morrigan go on and on with how wonderful the dark fae was to be able to get information by beating on her own people.
"Some fae never change. The first thing you should know is the group is run by Udano." Evony started explaining.
"Was he in Lord of the Rings? Totally loved that movie," the goth added.
"Was that English," Evony asked Lauren.
"Who is he Evony?" She learned to appreciate Kenzi's humor but she knew that the Morrigan most likely never even heard of Lord of the Rings.
"Udano was supposed to be a vampire but he failed at his Dawning. He turned into a weird under fae version of a vampire. Make no mistake he is still incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye he could cross a hundred yards without anyone knowing how he got from one end to the other. He has extreme strength. If he gets his arms around you he can crush ever bone in your body like you got wrapped up by a gigantic snake."
"Like Anaconda big," Bo asked. She already hated this and so far they only covered one of the fae trying to kill her girlfriend. The succubus was hoping that the leader was the strongest so from there the rest would be much easier. She knew it was probably not realistic but one could hope.
"I don't care what snake you compare him to if he wraps his arms around you bones are crushed. It's that simple. Since he is an under fae he didn't get the regular vampire teeth. He has a ton of smaller very sharp teeth. He can bite down to the bone removing large amounts of flesh. With his speed those attacks would be simple. Not only that but he has long sharp nails. One swipe and you are cut wide open. His nails aren't easy to break. He is going to be hiding behind his other fae waiting for the right moment to attack you Lauren."
All of the light fae sat there processing this. They knew it was bad, real bad and could see why Evony wanted to explain this in person. Better for everyone to hear this at once then to try and explain it to Lauren. Have her come back home and try to remember every detail for all of them to hear. She had enough on her plate knowing these fae were gunning for her.
Kaya stepped forward. "He knows that Bo is the one you chose to be with. My guess would be besides you she is the next big target. Most likely followed by Kenzi and Shay," the succubus looked at each one as she said their names. "Since he knows you are with Bo it was clear he did research. That can only mean he knows besides you who Bo would be closest to, and besides the unaligned one here Shay was your other succubus of choice. That means Hale is probably a big target as well."
As Kaya was finishing up Carrig, Selene and three light fae guards entered the building. Evony rolled her eyes. "Oh good the leader of the light is here." Dyson filled them in on the information that was given to them so far.
Carrig put his attention on Evony. "Well, what else have you learned Morrigan?"
"Sorry the light fell behind on this one. Try and keep up I know how slow the light fae can be." The Morrigan couldn't help herself. She agreed to fight beside them for Lauren's sake but she never once said she would play nice. If it was one thing the dark was good at it was getting around a promise they made.
One of Evony's goons spoke up, "Bad news is we still don't have a definite number. We know a large and good amount of dark and light have joined Udano but no one has an exact count. The worse news is there is a few nasty other fae that have also joined him. What we thought was just light and dark turns out to be a combo of all three."
"Wow so the good news keeps on pouring in. This is just perfect." Bo couldn't tell which emotion she felt more. Fear, anger, aggravation, annoyance, or misery at the thought they might not win and she might not have Lauren. She would die before she lived a life without her. Lauren put her arms around Bo's waist as she stood behind her. The blonde wanted to do something to comfort her. She read her thoughts and knew how scared she was. The seethe wanted to reassure her that everything was going to be okay that they were going to win like they usually did but this time she wasn't so sure. She wasn't at 100% and no one knew the number that was attacking. Clearly they did research on her and knew her weak spots her vulnerability. Maybe she should have listened to her girlfriend and spent those extra few days together who knows if there would be many more.
Aurora started to talk, "Unfortunately it does get worse. Some of the under fae we were able to find out about are nasty. Not ones you would want to fight if you didn't have to. Udano has a Minotaur. We don't know how many but at least one. I know some of you are new to the fae world. A Minotaur is half bull half man and all nasty. They devour people and fae for food. They are strong but not fast. Try to out run him and tire him out before attacking. In case you didn't know avoid the horns."
Jade come up from behind her twin. "Have you heard of Chimera and forget what mythology tells you about them."
"Nasty buggers those are." Vex started to explain to his friends. "Another nasty under fae, they are women who have some unique abilities. They are snake like. As in their skin is kind of scaly, they have those slanted snake eyes, and can sense heat. They breathe fire and these nasty fangs can fold out from underneath their top jaw. If you get bit by one you have so much poison running through your veins you will die in minutes. Well, if you're lucky you will." Vex shivered at the thought of them.
"Plus side least with the under fae we won't have to guess who is who," the succubus tried to make light of the situation. It was the only thing she could do from completely losing it. She was more concerned about her father coming back then these fae seethe killers but now it turns out they are scary in their own way. They might not be Odin but they sure shouldn't be undermined.
Evony was glaring at Vex, "Seems you did remember some of the things I taught you. Bet that's helpful to the light."
"Should I send you a thank you card Evony?" The Mesmer mocked her.
Lauren rubbed the temples of her head. "How are we supposed to fight together if we can't even all stand in the same room together." She took a much needed long deep breath. "Is there anything else to add to this pile of shit that was just dumped on us?"
"Sweetie we weren't fighting that's how Vex and I talk to one another. Yes there is more. A few under fae giants are working with him. Again the number is anyone's guess. Undano has Ogres, big stupid, drag a club around behind them and swing it down to pound you into the earth. He also has Gogmagog's." The Morrigan was speaking the information as if she was talking about a new restaurant. It didn't seem to faze her. Of course that was how Evony wanted it portrayed in the inside she was hoping that the unaligned succubus was enough to bring the seethe to full power otherwise they were all running towards their deaths.
"British band right, I think I heard them once," Kenzi quipped up. Looking around at everyone's faces she said in a low voice, "Didn't think so."
Hale explained what they were to his tiny girl. "They kinda of look like a human but about twice the size. Really really strong, like rip an oak tree out of the ground with one hand and one pull type of strong. Try not to get punched by one." The siren was not liking the under fae they were going to be facing. This was just the tip of the iceberg. No one knew the kind of dark and light fae they would have to fight. It was terrifying hearing the under fae involved. He kept thinking of how he was going to protect Kenzi while taking these fae on.
Seeing that Evony hasn't moved Bo groaned, "There's more isn't there?"
"Yes there is more. The fae Evony tortured talked about Kenes being with Udano. You never want Kenes anywhere near a battle. They feast on the wounded. Kenes have a strong sense of smell. They can smell a drop of blood and will be next to you in seconds." Kaya paused for a moment, "It doesn't help that their teeth are made for tearing through flesh and they have claws. If you get injured look for her because she will be lurking nearby."
Bo turned to Lauren, "You know I was hoping there would be a fae that would look for injured ones. There is never enough of those that join a fight these days." That was it she knew she was going to pass out. No one liked a battle more than the succubus but a battle she had a chance at. The Garuda was bad enough but Lauren made the venom so they had a chance. Plus he was one fae, just one not a whole damn army.
Lauren whispered in her ear, "You're stronger than almost anyone in this room. You escaped your father. I almost died facing him and you got away without a scratch. If anyone is strong enough to fight this it's you Bo. I love you always know that."
The succubus whipped around to face her lover. "Don't you talk like that. WE are getting out of here together or neither of us are." She pressed her lips to Lauren's.
"You two finished because there is more," the Morrigan interrupted. When the two pulled apart from their kiss Evony finished. "Now this one in particular I never had the misfortune to meet. Looks like that will change. At first everyone thought they were just myths but since we all thought seethes were myths to we can all just kiss that theory good bye." She waited for everyone to process this before she continued, "Jikininki, sort of like zombies. They look like decaying humans. Their eyes are almost all white. If you make eye contact you will be put in a frozen trance. Although they don't do anything themselves with the rest of the crew that they are surrounded by the last thing you want to be in is a frozen trance. Gives the others the opportunity to rip your head off," the Morrigan stood up as one of her goons grabbed the chair she was sitting in and folded it up. "Now that is all we found it. It may not be much but it's more then we all had before. You guys can scatter home and try to make some kind of plan on how we are going to be dealing with these nasty fae. I'm too good looking to die by some kind of nasty looking under fae."
Lauren went over to the Morrigan, "I don't approve of how you found all this out but I am glad you did. Thank you for coming through for me Evony. Now the real test will be if you show up for the fight itself. That is the main thing we all need to see if we can find out."
"No darling the main thing is that you screw your little unaligned succubus till you are 100%. If she isn't capable of bringing you to that then she needs to take her head out of her ass so you can use all the other succubi available to you. All our lives, including your friends, rest in your hands so try not to be foolish like the light. Realize we all need you at 100%." The Morrigan didn't care in this particular moment if she pissed the seethe off. The dark fae leader knew it was true. If Lauren wasn't at 100% how the hell would they win this war.
The odd group left the building together. It was a sight to see, Evony coming out of the building with Carrig, the group of succubi walking behind Bo and Lauren, the Morrigan's and the Ash's goons mixed together. Right by Bo and Lauren were Kenzi, Hale, and Dyson.
As they got outside Udano was standing there tilting his head while he watched the seethe. "Good evening seethe. How is your night going so far?"
Bo took a step forward, "And who the hell are you?" She didn't get to say much more as she felt her girlfriends hand wrap around her arm pulling her back to the seethe. Lauren didn't stop there she pushed Bo a little behind her. "Bo, it's them," the seethe whispered out.
From every shadow around the building all different kinds of fae started emerging light, Dark and Under Fae. The seethe and her friends started to huddle together in the middle as more and more of their soon to be attackers were coming out. Lauren was trying to get an accurate amount of how many there were she knew there was over fifty.
"We're fucked," Evony managed to groan out.
