Chapter 4

While Tamsin, Bo, and Kenzi dealt with Eden's crisis, a blonde woman with dark eyes sat in her office. There was a pile of books sitting on the desk that she was seated at. Some of the books lay open and there was a notebook lying on top of one of them. The notebook was full of furiously written notes and names. Tamsin's name was circled in the center along with the word child.

Freya was not focused on the books or notes at this very moment but she would look to anyone who did not know she was fae like she was in a deep sleep as she sat at the desk. Her eyes were tightly closed and she looked like she was in pain. Her forehead had wrinkles of concentration and every few minutes she moves her month in the form of a word but no sound can be heard. In Freya's mind there was only the child that she had seen at the playground earlier in the day. She had come to the area looking for Tamsin because she had a job for her and happened upon her in the park. The blonde didn't know there was anything strange about the child until she saw there her face changed, and then she knew. Anger coursed through her as she saw who came to get the child. She knew that she should not jump to conclusions and the child may not belong to Tamsin at all but it was clear that the child was fae. This is why she was using all of her energy to focus on the child and learn about her.

She had made a connection with the child as Tamsin passed her hiding spot carrying her. She didn't get to see the girl long enough to get a strong connection but it was a start. She was able to control the little girl when she was asleep and she was going to force her to have to reveal what she was. She tried to make her jump from the roof so that she could see that she was indeed part Valkyrie but Tamsin had stopped her. She was now forced to change her strategy. She could learn about the child in other ways, if she could rein her anger in long enough to focus on what she needed to do.

The anger crushed her ever since she had seen Tamsin earlier that day. Tamsin was one of her Valkyries and she was supposed to answer to her. Tamsin was not permitted to breed and if she had then this child would have to be destroyed. Valkyries, as a general rule, were not supposed to have children. Valkyries are supposed to be reborn and if there was a new Valkyrie than it meant an older one had to die for good. Freya was not willing to give up one of her trained warriors because some Valkyrie could not keep it in her pants. The thought send a new wave of anger though her. Tamsin was pay dearly if this was her child. One question that was still weighing heavy on Freya's mind was who the father of Tamsin's child was. Tamsin' potential child she had to remind herself. "Tamsin is still innocent until I prove her guilt," she thought to herself.

She had to find out more about what was going on. She had to learn who the father of the child was, first of all, and then she would know more about what she was dealing with. If he was some common fae, with every day powers than the child would not be easy to take care of. There were some fae however, that could prove to be hard to handle and if she was part Valkyrie than that would really makes things difficult. She really did not want to have to deal with Tamsin or the child if what she was thinking was indeed true. It would be messy. It would have to be done though, but there was no reason to jump the gun just yet. Time would tell her what she needed to know. She only needs to be patient.

Back at the apartment, Tamsin and Bo were getting Eden dressed to go talk to Trick. After what had happened last night, they needed some sort of answer. Tamsin was truly afraid and Bo was in denial. Bo still didn't know a lot about how the fae world worked and it would probably scare her if she did. Tamsin knew that there had to be some reason for Eden acting the way that she had been. She hoped that it was normal and that it was just because she was having a hard time with controlling her powers but something told her there was more to it than that. She didn't tell Bo this because it would only upset her. Bo had her own worries for Eden but she was hoping that she was just overrating.

The three women stormed into the bar in a fury of heels on wood and starting yelling for Trick. It was early in the day so the bar was not yet open and Trick was probably downstairs in his study. When he did not answer, the women went down the stairs after him. Tamsin had Eden on her hip and Bo had her hand in Tamsin's.

As the girls figured, Trick was sitting in one of his chairs and reading a rather large book. He looked up as the trio came into the room and he look went from one of happiest to see them to concern when she saw their faces. Eden's eyes were red rimmed and Tamsin looked pissed. Bo looked confused and even Kenzi wore a look of seriousness that was unlike her. Trick looked at Eden and gave a small smile. He was always happy to see his great granddaughter and hated to see her look so unlike the happy child that she always was.

"Trick we have a problem," Tamsin said without waiting for Trick to ask why they were at the bar so early.

"Good to see you too, Tamsin," Trick said.

"Sorry Trick, we are happy to see you but, Tamsin is right, we do need help," Bo added with a look to Tamsin that said that she should have at least said hi first.

"Okay, so what's going on?" Trick asked.

"It's Eden. She has been acting strange lately and last night she tried to jump off the roof," Tamsin explained.

"What? Why did she try to jump off of the roof?"

"If we had a good answer for that then we would not be here," Tamsin answered in a short tone.

"Tamsin stop, he's trying to help," Bo said rubbing the Valkyrie's back and running her fingers though the hair that was falling down her back. Tamsin gave a shiver at the contact made to her hair but she calmed down. Bo could also get her back down when she was upset. Bo, Eden and Kenzi were the only ones who she allowed to touch her hair and Bo's touch reminded her that everything would be okay.

"I'm sorry, Trick, I didn't mean it like that." Tamsin said to the shorter man.

"It's okay, I understand."

"She said that she wanted to be able to fly like Tamsin and that she dreamed she had wings. She must have opened her window and climbed out while she was still asleep." Bo said.

"She was not asleep. You saw her. Her eyes were like mine." Tamsin added.

"She was definitely not awake either," Kenzi said.

"She was in some sort of trance, from what it looked like," Bo clarified for Trick.

"What do you mean?" Trick asked.

"It was almost like she was sleepwalking but her eyes were black like Tamsin's when she uses her powers." Bo said. "What happened to her?"

"I'm not really sure at the moment. Eden is a special case. Fae breeding is not an exact science. We know she is a Veela because she can enter and manipulate the minds of others but Veela is the closest label that I could put on her. Veela can do what she does but a succubus and a Valkyrie have never had a child together. In fact, Valkyries are generally not allowed to have children without special permission. Valkyries are reborn and when a Valkyrie lives her last life than she might be allowed to have a child. There are very strict rules on this and if it was discovered that Tamsin has a child than there could be unforeseen consequences. A new child could threaten the order of command under Freya. As I understand it, Freya is very watchful of this sort of thing. "

"Why would there be? Eden is not a Valkyrie, she is a Veela. She has nothing to do with the Valkyries." Tamsin said in a raising tone. Tamsin handed Eden off to Kenzi and told her to take her for some ice cream. She didn't want to scare her. Kenzi took Eden and left.

"That's the thing. She is part Valkyrie by birth and those powers may never show up. She may remain a Veela and only a Veela, but she may not. If a Valkyrie were needed in the ranks or if there was a shift in command then she could become one. Freya herself is not a full Valkyrie and was born to a Valkyrie mother and a Siren father. At first she only showed signs of being a siren but she was needed as a Valkyrie so she changed."

"So what happens if Freya finds out about Eden?" Bo asked.

"I don't know but I think it's safe to say that Tamsin will be severely punished and I don't know what Freya would do with Eden," Trick said lowing his voice and looking to the ground. "I don't know if there is any reason to worry yet though."

"So that still did not explain what happened to her last night." Tamsin said.

"If she is developing new powers then it could be that she is having trouble controlling them."

"That was not her using her powers. It was obvious that she did not have any control over her body and mind. There was no one in the room with her to be controlling her either."

"There have been some cases of very powerful fae entering the minds of others from a distance but the person they are controlling usually has to be asleep. Of course, unless this person had seen Eden for themselves and made a mental connection to her then they cannot control her. Have you been around anyone new lately that you know to be fae?"

"No, and the only people who even know what Eden can do are us."

"Tamsin I'm not sure that's true anymore," Bo said. "Yesterday at the park, all of the people there saw what she could do."

"But there is no way that they are going to remember it and I don't think any of them were fae." Tamsin said quickly.

"That's the only explanation. There was someone there who either remembers what happened or someone that you didn't even know was there." Bo said and Tamsin felt a cold chill come over her. Bo was right. There could have been someone there that she didn't see. She was sure that the people whom she used her powers on could not remember but what if there was someone who slipped by her notice? The thought scared her to her very core. There could be someone out there who not only saw what Eden could do but who also might be seeking to control her. Tamsin felt like she had failed Eden. How could she let this happen? She was supposed to protect her and now she may have lead her into danger.

"You're right, Bo." Tamsin said trying to keep her voice from cracking. "How do we stop someone that we don't even know the first thing about?" Tamsin said now addressing Trick.

"We start by talking to Eden and doing some tests." Trick said.

"This is not your fault Tamsin." Bo added pulling her into a hug. "None of this is your fault. We'll figure this out and Eden will be fine."

"I know she will because anyone who wants her will have to go through me." Tamsin said.
