Author's notes:

Hi there! :) Sorry for the short delay, email trouble and all.. So, here is the second chapter, I hope you will like it!

I also wanted to really thank my editor again Till the fat lady sings and all the persons who reviewed the first chapter, it motivated me a lot to write this chapter.

The first scene was a little hard to write for me, I don't why though.. Anyway, enjoy and thank you for reading! :)

"Look at you, Tamsin. You are miserable. Do you really want to fight?" said Stacy smugly. "I'm trying to be a good friend here Tam-Tam. I know that you can't win. And you know it too! You should let it go, Tamsin. Putting up a fight will only bring you an extremely painful death," she finished, smirk plastered on her face and looking straight into the other Valkyrie's eyes, in an attempt to intimidate her.

Tamsin let out a small laugh, looking more amused than intimidated by the other woman. "Oh Stacy, you'll never learn. I could beat you with both hands tied behind my back." She paused before continuing. "You remember what happened in high school, right?" Tamsin said, still trying to keep the overwhelming feeling of pain in her chest under control. She hoped that if she spoke arrogantly and made snarky comments to the other Valkyrie, it would distract her from the pain she was in. It didn't.

But now her words made the smaller blonde mad. Really mad. Tamsin knew they would, but she couldn't help it, she loved making fun of her 'sister'.

Stacy's eyes became even darker than before and yelling in rage, she literally threw herself at Tamsin. They both fell to the ground in an angry mess of limbs, punches and kicks, Stacy even managing to punch the other blonde in the face a few times.

On any other day, Tamsin would have been able to dodge the attacks the other Valkyrie was throwing at her without breaking a sweat. But, in this situation, with her heart literally tearing apart, it was just impossible. She could not even breathe right and after a few punches that the other girl threw at her, she couldn't gather her thoughts long enough to mount a counterattack.

Her vision became more blurry than before. Using all her strength, she successfully locked her legs around Stacy and pushed the blonde off her, reversing their positions. Now on top of Stacy, Tamsin began fighting back as well as she could. After a few hooks, she was completely exhausted, however. She was in great pain and perfectly aware that she was weak. Unfortunately she was weaker than Stacy was, not to mention slower. And in that moment, she realized that she had absolutely no chance to win the fight in this condition.

Stacy knew it too. She took that opportunity to wrestle free from underneath the other Valkyrie, pushing her away so viciously that she landed on the ground again. Stacy jumped to her feet and swiftly kicked the other blonde again but this time right in the face.

Tamsin didn't even have time to reach and was almost knocked out by the heavy blow to her face. Almost unconscious, she was coughing out blood while struggling to keep breathing.

Seeing Tamsin lying there on the dirty ground, completely bloodied and battered, made Stacy feel even more confident and powerful than ever before. Her breathing was ragged due to the intensity of the fight, but overall she was well. Actually only her nose was bleeding.

"I tried to warn you, I told you couldn't win, Tamsin. But you are so stubborn… Or is it just stupid?" she asked while wiping off the blood that was coming out from her nose. She didn't expect an answer so she continued. "You used to be the strongest Valkyrie of all time, the most courageous, they said. And I was always the second. No one noticed me because of you!" she snarled, getting angrier by the second "But now you are just a pathetic weakling. That fucking little Succubus you chose as your warrior made you weak." she said with a snarky laugh.

"I cannot believe I had to wait for centuries to see you like this, to finally have my revenge. But I have to admit that it was totally worth it." She made a brief pause. "Who would have believed that love will get you killed, Tamsin?" Stacy finished before kicking the defeated Valkyrie in the ribs again and again.

On the ground, Tamsin knew it was over. She tried to fight back at first, despite the pain, but then she realized that she had no reason left to fight for. Her heart was literally bleeding for a girl who didn't seem to care. Even with her lack of experience in feelings and love, Tamsin knew that a life without Bo was out of the question. She could not stand a life without the stubborn Succubus. She knew she would rather die at the hands of one of the people she hated the most, than live a miserable life as a fallen Valkyrie because her feelings would never been returned.

This was the first time since she was born, many centuries before, that she would not fight back. She did not want to. She would not fight back for her survival.

It was against everything a Valkyrie, a warrior was taught. It was against their nature, against her primary instinct. But Tamsin was different, she had always been different. In that moment, she forgot everything that she had ever been taught. She didn't care anymore.

The taller blonde was physically exhausted by the fight she had just had with Stacy. She could feel her ribs cracking one after another with every kick she was receiving. But above all, she was emotionally drained, exhausted by her feelings and the pain she felt for being rejected. Again.

She just lay there on the ground, her gaze empty, waiting for the sentence.

Stacy stopped beating her for a second. "Are you actually giving up?" she asked both surprised and amused. Tamsin was not responding so she continued. "Whoa. You know what? I changed my mind. I really wanted to kill you… Well I still want to kill you with my bare hands, Tamsin, but seeing you suffer like this because of a what? Teenage heartbreak? It is much more exiting!" She took a step towards Tamsin. "You want me to kill you to put an end to the pain you are in, is that it?" She let out a snarky laugh before continuing. "Well, go to hell, Tamsin, I will enjoy seeing you broken like this every day of your pathetic a miserable life." She came closer to the other Valkyrie again and kneeled so she could whisper directly into her ear "I win. You lose." With that she stood up and walked away, a smirk on her face again, leaving the Tamsin alone and bleeding on the pavement of a dark, narrow alley.

Tamsin barely even registered what had just happened. She stopped any attempts to block out the pain in her heart. Accepting the pain and her fate, she let out a cry of agony before slowly drifting off into unconsciousness, a single tear running down her cheek.

Meantime…

"Stop the car," Acacia said suddenly.

"Why? We need to find Tamsin! You said it yourself, she is probably in danger..." Bo began before being cut off abruptly.

"Stop the car. Right now!" the Valkyrie repeated authoritatively.

Heeding the command and the sense of urgency in the older woman's tone, Bo complied and pulled the car over the side of the road. "So, what now?" the Succubus spoke after a long moment of silence.

"She is close, I can feel it but..."

"But what?" she asked impatiently.

"I cannot feel the pain anymore. I cannot feel her pain." Acacia replied looking as terrified as before. Maybe even more.

"Isn't that a good thing?" Bo asked, confused by the expression of the older woman. "I mean, if she is not suffering anymore, it is good, right?"

The Valkyrie turned to look at the brunette right in the eyes. "You don't understand." She took a long breath before continuing. "As her mentor, I always... feel Tamsin. I mean, if she is really mad, angry, I can feel a small part of her rage burning inside of me. If she is hurting, like she was minutes ago, I can feel something in me aching… I can always feel what she is feeling, even if it is almost imperceptible." She stopped talking, taking a moment to regain her composure.

"Now all I can feel is… despair... It is like she does not want to fight for her life anymore... She is utterly defeated," Acacia said before she turned her head to look out the window, whispering "I never felt that from her. Ever." It was barely audible, but Bo heard her, and it made her heart sink.

The Succubus turned her head away from Acacia because she felt the tears starting to well in her eyes and she didn't want the other woman to see her like this. She did not want to let the tears fall, she had cried enough. She could not help but feel guilty, everything was her fault after all. Tamsin was letting go of her life because of her. Because she had broken the Valkyrie's heart, she had literally broken her. The blonde Fae who grew up with her and Kenzi was going to die because of her. She could not let that happen. She could not be responsible for her death.

Tamsin was family, and she needed her, her Valkyrie needed her. "I will find you, Tamsin" Bo said to herself, feeling more determined than ever before.

Finally Acacia's voice snapped her out of her thoughts "Let's go! We need to find her, no time to waste."

When they were about to get out of Bo's Camaro, the Succubus suddenly saw someone running in the street. It was definitely a woman, but it was so dark outside and the woman facing away, Bo was not able to see who it was. Only when the woman stopped running and turned around did Bo recognize her. And she knew it was bad.

"Is it…Isn't that... Stacy?" Bo immediately asked Acacia.

"Oh that little bitch..." the Valkyrie responded.

Hearing Acacia's words, Bo rushed out of the car and noticed the other woman doing the same. "Hey Stacy," Bo shouted angrily at the blonde in the middle of the street.

The blonde Valkyrie turned around so she could see the person who shouted at her. When she saw that it was the famous unaligned Succubus and Tamsin's favorite person in the world, she couldn't help but smirk at her and let out a bitchy laugh.

Stacy's attitude made Bo even angrier than she was before, her eyes flashed blue instantly but Acacia spoke before she could say or do anything.

"Where is she, Stacy? Where's Tamsin?"

A look of far spread on Stacy's face when hearing, and then seeing Acacia moving out of the shadows behind Bo. The blonde turned around and began to run as fast as she could before disappearing in an alley.

Instinctively Bo wanted to run after the blonde. She wanted to wipe away the smirk she had seen on her face but before she could move, Acacia stopped her.

"No. Let her go, I will deal with her later, I give you my word. Right now we need to find Tamsin. And fast."

"But she can tell us where Tamsin is!" the Succubus protested, her voice rising and her eyes still shining blue.

"We can find her ourselves. She is not far from here, I can assure you of that. It will be a waste of time going after that bitch, she won't say a thing." Seeing that the Succubus was still reluctant, she continued "Look, I want to kill her just as much as you want to, trust me. But Tamsin needs us," Acacia finished in a serious tone.

Bo knew in her heart that the other woman was right. "Let's go then," she replied and they took off running.

Bo's mind was racing, and so was her heart. She hoped that they would find her in time, that they wouldn't be too late. But what if they were?

Bo had never been so afraid in her life. She needed to find Tamsin, she needed her to be okay. She had so many things to say to her. She had to say how she really felt about her. She had to open up to her.

She could not live a life without Tamsin. Not anymore. Since the blonde's rebirth, they became closer than they were before. A lot closer. Yes, they slept together but until tonight, Bo had thought that it was just sex for Tamsin. But when the blonde opened up to her and practically offered her heart on a platter, she didn't know how to react, she wasn't prepared to hear all of that. She had never given serious thought to how she felt for the blonde so the Valkyrie's admission of love had caught her off-guard and she didn't know what to say in that moment.

But right now there's one thing the succubus knew without a doubt: she could not live a life without Tamsin. In fact, a life with Tamsin as just a friend would not be enough. She cared deeply for the blonde. Actually, she had strong feelings for her. And she needed to say all of that to Tamsin.

She hated herself for not realizing it sooner. 'Damn it, how can I be such an idiot?!' she thought, feeling her eyes beginning to water again.

She almost ran into Acacia who had stopped running abruptly. She followed the Valkyrie's immovable gaze to something ... or someone lying on the ground in a narrow side street.

Overtaken by a growing sense of dread, Bo approached the other woman slowly, to see what she was looking at. And when she did, her heart almost stopped beating at the sight.

An unconscious form lying on the dirty pavement. It was a woman, and she was not moving. Even if Bo could not see her face from where she was, even if it was already dark, even if her vision was blurry because of the tears in her eyes which were threatening to come out, Bo knew it was her Valkyrie lying there.

Unable to contain her emotions anymore, tears began to flow down her cheeks unhindered. "Oh my god, Tamsin!" she yelled before running to the blonde, followed closely by Acacia.

To be continued…
