A/N: Next One.
As for those of you asking about Selena. She told Lycus about the child thing. Cleo spilled about the relationship. Hope that clears it up for you. The mystery of Bianca's death is revealed in this chapter, so have fun. Also, a flashback within a flashback!
Chapter 7: Modern Soul
Lycus's Estate
When he found Selena's dead body outside his back door; he knew Lauren didn't have the knowledge to use Elena's powers so effortlessly. But Elena herself, could. And if what he'd heard from Dyson was true, then that meant Elena had resumed control of Lauren's body. His Wife was back and would probably be hell bent on enacting her revenge on him.
He deserved it.
He could admit that; but he was going to be damned if he let a woman be his end. He was a Wolf King, the oldest one there was. And he'd killed Elena once; he had no problem doing it again. Only this time; she was going to stay dead.
"Burn her body; then have troops scattered around the perimeter…" Lycus watched his people take Selena's body away. "… We'll have a guest arriving soon, I'm sure of it. I'll be in my chambers; and I want it heavily guarded. No one, is to enter unless I say so" he walked back to his room, closing the doors behind him.
Grove Park
Even though they had plans to carry out their revenge against Lycus tonight; Bianca and Elena decided to take a little time to settle themselves into this new world. So, they took a walk around the park they were in. And to be able to walk hand in hand without fear of being caught; was everything they'd ever wanted.
"Can you believe this?" Elena was still processing. "We are in the open; no longer having to hide our feelings for one another. I can do this…" She held up Bianca's hand, kissing it. "… And this" she leaned in next to her, kissing her cheek.
Bianca smiled, "Yes, it is quite lovely" she was just as happy as her love was, but she wasn't doing a good job of showing it.
"Lovely? It's Fantastic!" Elena stopped, turning to her. She could feel Bianca's fear. "What frightens you my love?" She didn't want Bianca to be sad about anything. They finally had what they wanted.
"Nothing you need to concern yourself about…" Bianca tried to deflect it, but she could never hide things from Elena. She never found the need to. "… I just worry; we've waited all this time to be together. And now we are, and we're happy. I fear something will ruin it" she admitted.
Elena gave a small smile. "You needn't fear that Bianca. Lycus will be dead by day's end; and these pesky descendants of ours will be sent off to the afterlife. Where they belong. We will have the eternity you promised. If nothing else; we've earned it" she wasn't giving this up.
And she certainly wasn't letting anyone or anything, ruin it.
"I love you" Bianca missed saying that to her.
"And I love you…" Elena eased her worry with kiss and then a tight hug. Bianca was always the strong one in their relationship. But perhaps being trapped in Limbo for a century had changed her. Elena had been dead for thousands of years. So, she had time to process it all. "… May I ask you; how you originally died?"
She hadn't heard anything from the time she'd woken up trapped inside Lauren's body. And she was curious to know how Bianca's immortal life came to an end.
But Bianca wasn't much for rehashing it. "Must we dredge up the past?" She didn't want to relive the memory. "I just don't see how it's relevant"
"It's relevant to me…" Elena said. "… Please Bianca. Tell me" she wanted to know.
Sighing, Bianca began to tell the story. "It was a hundred years ago; funny, how it feels as though it happened yesterday" she let out a sad laugh.
The centuries had not been kind to Bianca.
She never got over losing the love of her life; and she shouldn't be expected to. When Elena died, Bianca felt like she herself died too. The energy to carry out tasks had been stripped from her, even ones that were so mundane.
And as horrible as it sounded, she'd tried to end her life a few times through the centuries. She just didn't want to live another second of this miserable life without the one person who made her happy to be in it.
Being burned alive didn't work. She'd stabbed herself in the heart four times; hung herself five times, and jumped off the highest building she could find twice. Nothing worked. The only thing she knew would work, was having her head chopped off.
But she couldn't exactly do it to herself. And couldn't bring herself to thrall someone into doing it. She knew Elena wouldn't want this for her. She'd want her to live her life. But that wasn't something Bianca could do without her.
A few decades after Draco stopped her from killing Lycus; she'd escaped her Husband's clutches. After that day, he stuck her in a magical cage that couldn't be destroyed. No matter how strong she was, she couldn't escape.
That was until someone let her out.
Cleo, her former Handmaiden; freed Bianca out of guilt. Bianca relived that day over and over again in her mind.
Two Thousand Years Ago
It had been days since anyone had visited Bianca in her cage. She could go weeks without food, and even when she would starve to death. She just returned to life minutes later, that was her curse. But today was different. She lifted her head from her makeshift bed when she heard the rattling of a chain.
Focusing her tired eyes; she saw a familiar face. "Cleo?" She got up from her bed, going to the cage door and tightening her hands around the bars. "What are you doing?" Cleo didn't answer her, she just kept playing with the lock. "If Draco learns of your betrayal he will kill you"
"Trust me, my Queen; I deserve much worse…" Cleo looked at her with sad eyes. "… This was not meant to be your fate. I can no longer sit back and watch you suffer for my mistakes" she finally found the right key and unlocked the door.
When Bianca got out, she fell into Cleo's arms. Exhausted. "Your mistakes?" She finally heard what she just said. "What does that mean?" She met her gaze, seeing nothing but guilt on her face. "What did you do Cleo?!" She sensed fear coming from her.
Cleo backed up, wanting distance. "It was I who told Lycus of your affair…" she watched her Queen's face turn shocked. "… It was not my intent for Elena to be harmed. I only wanted solace for Vicus's death" she bowed her head, ashamed.
Bianca turned away from her, crying. But those cries quickly ceased, and her anger rose. "You are the reason my love is dead…" she spoke quietly. "… All for some petty grievance against me?" She turned around. "Elena did nothing to you!" She tried to move forward to grab her, but due to her weakness she wasn't moving fast.
"But you did!" Cleo shouted. "You took my love away from me! All to satisfy some disgusting thrill!"
But that's where she was wrong. Bianca never told her the truth. And she wasn't going to now either; she didn't deserve to hear it. "You are right…" she wiped her tears. "… I enjoyed taking his life. And if I had the choice to do so again, I wouldn't change a thing. Perhaps it's time to reunite you with your beloved Vicus!" she grabbed her face, taking her chi.
She needed to feed as much as she could. Her strength was low, and now it was returning with every sliver of Chi she pulled. She intended to drain her dry, but was interrupted when she sensed people approaching from down the hall. "Oh no. It seems both of us won't be getting what we desire today"
Cleo could barely keep her eyes open, "I am sorry" she really was. Especially for Elena.
"Apologies will get you nowhere!" Bianca grabbed her throat. Then thought of something much worse for her. She used what was left of her powers. "You will remember none of this; not freeing me, nor revealing your betrayal; but I will leave with you with one thing. A memorial echo that will forever be a mystery to you…" She looked into her eyes.
"… I may not be able to end your life today, but know this; I will find you one day in the future, and I will finish what I've started here. You will never know peace, or relief; as long as I am still walking this earth!"
The guards were getting closer, Bianca had to wrap this up. "Count your days, Cleo. From this moment on; consider them numbered!" She head butted her and knocked her out, then ran to the nearest exit. She could take the guards.
END OF FLASHBACK
Bianca ran for days, trying to make it to the nearest town. And funnily enough, the place she took shelter in was none other than Elena's family home. They were sympathetic to her plight. And were disgusted with themselves after hearing the way Lycus treated their daughter. They thought him to be a noble man.
The King and Queen sheltered her, clothed her, nursed her to health. And also, hid her; when Draco sent his men to look for her. He wanted her back in that cage. Where she couldn't cause trouble. As much as she wanted him dead, she couldn't risk being captured again.
So, with the supplies Elena's Parents gave her; she ran. And had been running for centuries. Until now, she couldn't live her life like this any longer. She just wanted to be with Elena. She wanted the happily ever after they were promised.
And the only way that was going to happen, was if she was dead. And the ritual could be complete. So, she sent word out; making sure it got back to Draco. The times had changed drastically since she was born, and the 1900's weren't enjoyable for her.
The music was fine, the clothes too. But the customs, were totally different. She still spoke with an aged vocabulary. And people noticed. It was 1920, and she'd been waiting in the house she'd acquired from thralling the Landlord to let her stay for free.
All she had were the clothes on her back and the sword on her table. She knew what awaited her, and it had finally come. "Congratulations…" she sensed him from behind her, then turned around. "… You've found me" she was still disgusted by his face.
"Bianca…" Draco smiled, "… Your beauty remains flawless as ever. You, have taken me in quite the ride over the centuries"
Bianca shifted uncomfortably, she wanted this over. "I know how much you enjoy a good chase. Although, I haven't made it easy for you. Two thousand years have passed. And still, you could never find me" she smirked at him.
Draco stepped forward, "I've found you now though, haven't I?"
"Because I wanted you too…" Bianca saw that he was still the same stupid oaf he was when she met him. "… Think Draco. If it was this easy to find me, then why has it taken you two millennia? You stand here now, because I willed it to be so. Not because you possess any kind of intelligence"
He got angry after that, "Then why give up?" He stood close to her. "Why after all this time, would you allow me to find you? You know of my plans for you; I no longer desire to keep you caged. I simply want you dead" he didn't have time to keep her locked up.
It was time for him to move on from this game.
"And I want to die…" Bianca handed him her sword. "… I was never a good Wife, or Queen. We can both agree there was never any love between us. Never, have I asked you for a favour. But I'm asking now; please Draco, kill me" she begged him.
Draco had never seen her this way before, she was completely broken. "There is only one way to kill creatures like us; are you prepared for such a gruesome demise?"
"I think, after all the unspeakable acts I've committed over the course of my long life; this kind of death would be rather fitting..." She smiled at him, "… Why the hesitation? This's what you've wanted for centuries, is it not?"
He nodded, "It is…" he took a breath, "… But after all you did, why should I let you have the easy way out?" it didn't feel right. "Perhaps your punishment shouldn't be to die; why should I grant you the mercy?" he needed a reason.
Bianca knew he'd be like this. "What if I was willing to offer you something in return for this favour?" she watched him become intrigued. "Something you have spent centuries trying to obtain?"
"What do you propose?" he wondered.
"Do me this favour; agree to end my life and I'll give you the one thing you want most…" she stepped away, going to her closet and grabbing a small box. She stood before him, lifting the life. "… I understand you've been searching for this?" she showed him the ancient knife within the box.
Draco was in awe of its craftsmanship. He'd been looking for this relic for a long time. So much so, that he was starting to think it didn't exist. He'd come up unlucky in his search. Until now. "The Unicorn Blade…" he went to touch it, but she closed the box. Almost jamming his fingers. "… How do I know it's authentic?"
"I promise you it is…" Bianca placed it back on the table with a sigh. "… You could always ask the Wizard I stole it from. Though, he's probably a rotting corpse by now. He didn't part with it easily. Do we have a deal?" she knew he wouldn't pass this up.
He smiled to himself, she never ceased to amaze him. "We could've been a great love story for the history books; if things had turned out differently. But, they didn't. And I have made my peace with that; so, I will honour this deal" he just wanted the blade.
And if killing Bianca meant he could get it, then he was all for that.
Bianca knelt at his feet, ready for her end. "Thank you" she really was grateful.
But Draco had one last trick up his sleeve, "Don't thank me yet…" he kneeled down in front of her, "… Contrary to what you think, Bianca; there was a second option for you. Option one; remove your head" he began.
"What's option two?" This was the first time Bianca was hearing of this.
"This…" Draco smiled one last time, before plunging his hand into her chest and hearing her scream. "… Now this, is a fitting death. If it wasn't for your heart; you wouldn't have gotten tangled in your affair with Elena. It got you into this mess; and now it's your way out. Farewell, my love" he tore it from her chest.
Bianca let out a few sharp gasps, as her eyes rolled back in her head and she fell to the floor. Blood spilling from her chest, and her mouth. She was dead.
"In the end, he got his revenge…" Bianca finished telling Elena the story. "… And as much as I hated the fact that he tricked me again; I was more relived that I was freed from that miserable existence"
Elena held her hand, she knew how it felt to have her heart ripped out. So, she understood. "What was the truth that you hid from Cleo?" she'd been wondering all this time. "Regarding her lover, Vicus?"
Bianca had been keeping this to herself for centuries. And Elena never knew because it happened not long before she died. "I didn't kill Vicus because of some sick thrill…" she revealed. "… I killed him, because he was using Cleo to learn information about us" she referred to their affair.
"He knew?" Elena was confused. "Who told him?"
"Cleo did; she thought she could trust him. Foolish girl; she really did love him. But he wasn't receptive. I could sense it. He didn't love her at all; he tolerated her, so he could gather information about our affair. Maybe to tell his Family. Word of our affair would've started a war"
Elena understood that. That information could've easily been used against them. "So you killed him; for us"
Bianca nodded, "It wasn't solely for our benefit. In the time we exchanged letters to one another; Cleo became a trusted confidant. I couldn't stand by and watch her be used like some peasant. I killed him for her" she admitted.
"And you were never forthcoming with her about it, because you feared she would tell others of your kindness?" Elena figured. She knew that Bianca was a good person; but others saw her as the evil Queen.
"I could not allow others to brand me as a soft Queen. The fear people felt when whispers of my name were spoken; was the only thing keeping my loved ones safe. If I am to be branded as a monster; then so be it" she didn't care how others saw her.
She knew who she was.
Limbo
Since there were no objects in this place; Bo and Lauren had resorted to sitting on the floor. If you could even call it a floor. Mist surrounded them all the time; it was annoying. "There's still something I'm confused about?" Bo frowned suddenly.
"What?" Lauren was still confused about so many things.
"When I tried to make contact with Bianca earlier; she brought me here…" Bo looked around, "… And she told me; that she'd been trapped here alone. She'd been without Elena since the day she died. So, if that's true; then why're we together?" she didn't understand it.
Lauren got what she meant. "Yeah, that is a little odd. Maybe it's because they've taken over our bodies? I honestly have no idea. Give me a medical question and I can help you, but when it comes to ancient rituals about souls? I don't have a clue" she was stumped.
And Bo didn't either. "I guess we'll just have to hope Dyson and Tamsin take up the task and come through on their end" she'd told Lauren all about calling them, and also told her how she set Tamsin straight about their little arrangement.
She hoped they'd come through.
Lycus' Estate – Front Gate
Since Lycus told Dyson never to come back; he decided to park the Camaro a few feet away from the front gate of his estate. "Look Trick, we've kinda hit a dead end here; so if you've got anything to help us out we'd really appreciate it" he thought calling Trick would've been a good idea.
"Well, like I told Bo; I don't know much. But I did happen to call a friend of mine that was around during Bianca and Elena's era. He told me there isn't any spell or potion that can sever a soul link—"
Tamsin had been listening ever since she made Dyson out it in speakerphone. "You know, when people usually say 'but' in a sentence about a question they've been asked; it's usually to give good news"
"If you'd let me finish, I was just getting to the good news…" Trick sighed into the phone. He could never have a normal conversation with Tamsin. "… As I said, there's nothing that can break the link. But if you removed Bianca and Elena's souls from their bodies, you won't need to"
Dyson frowned, looking at Tamsin who had the same expression. "And how do you suggest we do that?"
"With a mystical dagger that's been spelled to trap unwanted souls. I know the person who has it, and she won't be happy to part with it either. To be honest, she doesn't even know what it does. She thinks it's just an old heirloom" Trick grumbled.
"Does this 'she' have a name?" Tamsin hated the way Trick procrastinated all the time. Especially at times of great pressure.
Trick was a silent for a couple of seconds, then answered; "Her name is Reyna Donnelly. She's Ysabeau's Aunt, and I already sent Bo and Lauren to see her. Clearly though, she was no help. Guess she hasn't changed" he snickered on his end.
Dyson had never heard Trick snicker, it was weird. "Little harsh Trick. But thanks for the info, don't worry we'll get the knife. What's the name of it so we can ask her?"
Trick should've began with that, "It's the Anima Blade; the only reason she has it is because of how much it's worth. I have no doubt she's still a money grabbing bitch—"
"Whoa there, Trick!" Tamsin cut him off. "You're getting a little medieval on us. We get it, you've got beef with this chick. But how about you let us take it from here?" When he accepted, she nodded and gave Dyson a look. She couldn't believe what just happened. "We'll call you back later" she ended the call.
Dyson waited for a message from Trick for Reyna's address, then started the engine. "Looks like we've got a dagger to find. Hope she gives it up easy" he put the car into gear.
"The way Trick's speaking of her? I highly doubt it" Tamsin didn't foresee this going well. But they needed that dagger one way or another. She rested her elbow on the car door as Dyson drove off.
One step closer.
Limbo
Things weren't going well in this place. Bo and Lauren literally had nothing to do. They couldn't play cards, they couldn't do anything to pass the time. If time even passed in this place. They had no idea what kind of realm they were really in. They both laid on the misty floor, closing their eyes hoping for the time to go quick as they waited to be rescued.
But Bo's eyes shot open when suddenly, she felt something. "Oh god!" she felt all tingly, and strangely happy for some reason.
Lauren sat up, not knowing what was going on. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know exactly…" Bo closed her eyes, trying to figure out what was going on. And that's when she saw images of herself and Lauren in the throes of passion. Except, it wasn't a memory of theirs. She'd remember if it was. Which only meant one thing. "… I think they're having sex" she shivered.
"With our bodies?! Isn't that a violation?" Lauren was kind of disgusted, but also confused as to why Bo was feeling it and she wasn't. "How'd you even know? Can you see them?"
Bo closed her eyes, rubbing her temples. This feeling wasn't going away, and it was annoying her. "Yep, I can see everything. And also feel everything; which's why it's making it hard for me to concentrate right now. Please, talk to me about something! I need new images in my head" she didn't want to see them doing it.
Yes, it was her body with Lauren's body. But it wasn't them. It just wasn't the same.
"Uh, I don't know what you want me to say…" Lauren was at a loss. But Bo was getting worse. So, she did the only thing she could think off. She grabbed her by the head, and kissed her. And to her surprise, Bo pushed her back with her eyes glowing blue. "… Was that wrong?"
Bo breathed, "Really? I'm having a full-on sex show going on in my head that's leaving me feeling super horny, and the thing you decide to do to distract me; is kiss me?!" that wasn't what she meant at all.
"What else am I supposed to do? There's nothing around to distract you with!" Lauren didn't know why she was getting told off for this. She wasn't the one feeling aroused.
Suddenly, Bo breathed easy. The tingling had stopped, "They're gone…" she looked at Lauren, who frowned. "… The flashes, are gone. They must've, finished-" she almost threw up in her mouth. "Guess Bianca isn't much of a Succubus. She calls that lasting?" she had to laugh at that.
"This's so not the time for you to boast about your sexual stamina…" Lauren told her, but then remembered how good Bo was at it. "… Though, you were always relentless" that always turned her on.
Bo nodded, "Thank you!" she loved hearing that. "Hopefully they won't do that again. But, if they're asleep; then maybe we could take advantage of that. If they're sleeping, they won't have much control over our bodies. We might be able to break through"
"How do we do that?" Lauren asked.
Before answering that question; Bo took Lauren's hands and took a deep breath. "By focusing on where we wanna go. I got in the same way when I tried to contact Bianca to save you. Makes sense that we'd be able to leave the same way. Care to try it?"
"I'll try anything as long as we get outta here" Lauren was willing.
"Okay then, just close your eyes; take a deep breath. And think about how much you want your body back" Bo closed her own, the both of them trying hard to break through the barrier and back into their bodies.
They hoped this worked.
Hotel
Given the fact they'd gone thousands of years without being near each other; it was only fitting that Bianca and Elena take some time to reconnect. And they did just that. It didn't last as long as Bianca would've liked, but she was still getting used to this new body. It was taking time. She'd get better eventually.
After they'd left the park earlier; they walked for a few more minutes until they came across a quaint little hotel. They didn't have money, so Bianca used her powers to thrall one of the desk clerks. He took care of everything they needed; using his own money. Wasn't he sweet?
So, now; they laid together peacefully in their large bed. Elena was completely out for the count, but Bianca couldn't bring herself to sleep. She'd remained still for a hundred years since her death; she'd rested enough. That, and she hadn't seen this sight in thousands of years.
Elena's beauty was unmatched; she was in awe of her every second.
As she was laying there, she felt a twinge of pain in her head. Sitting up, she found her shirt from earlier and pulled it over her head. After she'd put her underwear back on, she got up and walked to the bathroom quietly. Looking in the mirror, she smirked at her reflection. "Nice try Bo…" she knew it was her.
"… But when will you learn that this's something you cannot fight?" she asked the mirror.
And luckily for Bo; she fought through just enough to reply. "There's always a way; and I will find it. Enjoy the time you have in the new world. Because very soon; you'll be back where you belong" that was a promise.
Bianca saw her reflection go back to normal; she wasn't scared of many things; but being here and going through the trauma that was her life; had made her a little paranoid. Especially when people made threats towards her. There's no way Bo was strong enough to break through. At least, that's what Bianca thought.
What if she was?
What if Bo somehow found a way to inhabit this body again? And if she did it before Bianca and Elena had a chance to purge themselves of Bo and Lauren's souls; then they'd be stuck in Limbo again. Cursed to remain apart for all eternity.
She couldn't have that happening.
Not again.
Reyna's House
Dyson and Tamsin parked the car, and quickly made their way to Reyna's front door. It seemed like a nice house; definitely not the home of the person Trick was describing. Dyson knocked on the door, hearing footsteps come toward it. When it opened; he was met with an old Lady. "Reyna Donnelly?"
"Who's asking?" she eyed him up.
"My name's Dyson; and this's my Partner Tamsin…" he gestured to Tamsin who gave a wave. "… We're friends of Bo and Lauren. I believe they came to see you about an urgent problem they were having?"
Reyna opened the door, visibly worried. "Did something happen? Are they alright?" she worried for both of them, but more so for Bo. She was her niece. And family was everything to her.
Dyson cleared his throat, "We don't really know exactly; may we come in to speak with you about this matter further?" he really needed her to cooperate.
And she did, opening the door and letting them inside. "Of course you may!" she closed the door behind them and led them into the living room. "Now, tell me what's happened to my darling niece and her lovely Girlfriend"
"Lauren's not her Girlfriend…" Tamsin blurted out. All Bo said before was that she loved Lauren; she said nothing about them getting back together. She was counting that a chance. However slim. "… I mean; not that we know of"
Dyson couldn't have Tamsin's feelings ruining this. So, he just continued. "Anyway; I know you're well aware of what's happening to them. The memories of Bianca and Elena. Well, it seems that those very women have now taken control of Bo and Lauren's bodies. Now they're out there, doing god knows what" he sighed.
Reyna raised her eyebrows in shock; she didn't expect that. "But, I sent them to my friend Cleo. She was Bianca's handmaiden; didn't she help them?" that's what she told Bo and Lauren to do.
"Turns out she was more of a hindrance than any help…" Dyson saw Reyna's expression turn worried again. "… She drugged them both and handed Lauren over to Lycus. I served him once; I'm a Wolf Shifter. I know how horrible he can be. He has something awful planned for her; we need your help to save them both"
After hearing what Cleo did; Reyna couldn't believe it. She thought she was helping by recommending her. Now look what'd happened. "Of course; I'll do anything to help. What do you need from me?"
This was the tricky part. "Uh, we have it on very good authority that you're in possession of an ancient relic called the Anima Dagger…" Tamsin spoke. "… To extract Bianca and Elena's souls from their bodies; we need that dagger"
"And who may I ask, told you I had it?" Reyna sat forward on her chair. When they both looked at each other, she knew who it was. "Ah yes. Trick…" she chuckled dryly. "… It's very convenient, that you come here asking for the very thing he's always wanted. How do I know you want it to help Bo?"
Dyson sat on the edge of his seat. "Look, I don't know what your problem with Trick is; or why you guys hate each other. But Bo and Lauren will be lost forever if you don't give us that dagger. And what if I personally guaranteed you'd get it back once we've finished with it?"
"You mean, you won't run off with it and hand it over to Trick?" Reyna asked.
He shook his head, "If you'd asked me that question a couple of months ago; I would've told you I couldn't refuse him. Given that I'd pledged myself to him centuries ago. But I've sworn fealty to Bo now, and I will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. I don't care what Trick wants. She's what's important"
Reyna smiled at him, she could tell he was noble. "You have yourself a deal, Dyson. Wait here, I'll get you the dagger" she got up and walked off to her bedroom. She hid it away, just in case.
Tamsin watched that entire conversation and there was one thing she'd taken from it. "You know when this's all over we really need to sit Bo down and talk to her about her options" she sighed, turning her head away to look around the room.
"Options?" Dyson frowned, turning to her.
"Yeah, you know? The whole 'love square' thing?" Tamsin was losing him. "I love Bo; Lauren loves Bo, and after hearing that valiant little speech, I can see you love her too. So, we should hash things out with her. Let her make a real decision"
Dyson looked at her incredulously, did she forget what Bo said before? "I don't think there's anything to hash, Tamsin. Yeah, we all love Bo; but she only loves Lauren…" he told her. "… She told you so herself. I know it takes a while to get over; hell, I'm still not even close. But, you will move on"
Tamsin didn't want it to be real. But she knew it had to be. "Not from her" she shook her head, knowing she'd never really move on.
Reyna came back, interrupting their moment. "I am trusting you with this…" She handed him the weapon; it was still in its original casing. It was made of stone. "… And I want it returned as soon as you've finished with it. I may be old, but you don't want to see what I'm capable of" she said it with a smile, but it was terrifying.
"Okay, understanding a little more of why Trick's afraid of you now" Tamsin didn't want to be around her anymore due to how scared she was.
"Believe me, he should be" Reyna said.
Dyson held the dagger in his hand, unsheathing it from its casing. It was immaculate. "Is this black silver?" He hadn't seen anything like it in centuries. "It's beautiful…" He sheathed it again. "… And I give you my blood oath; I will return it to you when this's all over" he promised.
Reyna waved a hand, "I believe you Dyson. Just take it, and save my niece" Bo's safety was more important to her.
"I'll do everything in power to try Ma'am…" He took her hand, pressing a kiss on top of it like a gentleman. "… Thank you" he was grateful. With that, he and Tamsin ran out to the car and made their way back to Lycus' estate.
It was time to save their friends.
Lycus' Estate – Back Entrance
Bianca and Elena had made their way here rather quickly, considering they didn't know this world. But Elena was good at navigating. All she had to do was retrace her steps from the park. And when they did, they reached the perimeter of Lycus' home. Only problem was, there were men everywhere.
Thankfully, there were only two outside the back door. Elena decided to take care of this, and as she began approaching them they tried to grab her thinking she was Lauren. But as soon as they went to speak, they began to choke on the air. Like Selena did.
"Forgive me, but I don't think your introduction to us would've been pleasant…" Elena walked over to the door, "… Don't you agree, my love?" She smiled at Bianca who was following closely behind.
Watching her beloved strike these men down without so much as batting an eyelash made Bianca feel so proud. She was glad that Elena had learned a thing or two from being with her. "Wholeheartedly…" She opened the back door for her, "… After you, my love" she loved this.
A/N: Almost nearing the end now. Leave me your reviews, thanks.
