Bo's POV

After a few hours of sleeping on top of Lauren's lab coat, I took it down to her washer, and dryer and washed it. I didn't want my scent on it. It would remind her of me the next time she wears it. While it was in the dryer, I played with the other one hanging neatly in her closet. Once the dryer stopped, I hung it up, locked her door, and left.

Here I am driving down the dark roads with tears streaming down my face. I dry my tears at every red light. When the lights turn green for go, I never know where I'm going. I just go. I can't go back. I did the one thing I feared my Succubus would do, but I did it as Bo. Hurt Lauren.

I burst out crying again as I gripped the steering wheel a little tighter. I should have walked out taking Lauren with me. I should not have allowed Nadia to get to me. To get to Lauren. To verbally insult her, over, and over again.

The only good thing about waking Nadia up is Lauren is free. Free of the chain she wore around her neck. Free of doing other people's bidding. Free of punching a time clock that she never got paid for. Her closet held about 4 outfits. The same outfits I have seen her wear, over and over again. She has about three pairs of boots. I have about the same amount of clothes but I wasn't the one working for the Fae, and not getting much in return.

I am at a red light again but I have stopped drying my tears. They will be my shame as I aim for destinations unknown. Where am I going? Where could I go and feel welcome? I don't even deserve to go back to Lauren's. I don't even deserve to know Lauren.

I haven't even spoken to mom in hours. Once I was sure the Doctors were going to help Lauren, and mom was going to watch over her, I ran. I will keep running. It's all I have done for the last ten years of my life. Run and kill. My punch didn't kill her, but it's almost as bad. When I felt my fist connect with her head, I felt the disconnect from her.

As she fell to the ground, my heart fell too. I fell back into the hole Lauren was helping me to climb out of. She was helping me with her injections, and giving life to the dull-drum mine before her had become. Like the other Fae she wasn't getting paid for it, but she should have been. I will rectify that soon. As soon as I get wherever the hell I'm going.

Maybe I belong in hell. In the deepest, darkest holes this planet has to offer short of killing myself. But I am slowly doing that. I haven't fed in hours. My gas tank is getting low, perhaps I will at the next gas station I happen upon.

The Dal

Dyson growled as he paced back and forth. He hadn't heard from Bo or seen her. All he needed was one talk. One chance to get Bo to see they would be fine. Everything would be fine. He had not given hope of finding another Norn to reverse his predicament.

Hell he was even looking for a Light Fae Doctor that could give him a penis implant. He had already put in a few anonymous calls inquiring about such a Doctor. He didn't want anyone knowing about what happened to him. It was bad enough that Bo, Trick, and Aife knew. He growled again thinking about that Succubus.

She was as bad as Trick feared her to be. She wasn't following any of his laws, or the natural laws of the universe. She should be constantly bowing at Trick's feet. Doing everything that he commands her to do. But she would be taking a backseat to Dyson in Trick's life. Dyson was the one that has always been there for the Blood King. Doing everything that he had asked of him. Looking for Aife when word spread that she was near. Looking after Bo, making sure her mother never got close to her. That was still his job, and damned if he would fail his old friend again. Bo was his. She just needed to remember that. They would take the throne together when Trick abdicates like he once promised when Dyson found one deserving to be mated with the wolf.

He just needed to find Aife. He would use her to lure Bo back to him, if it came to that. He was ready to throw the older Succubus into a dungeon. Where she truly belonged, when Trick wasn't in need of her services.

"Any word? Dyson asked.

"She was at the Light Fae compound, but she left. I fear we may not find her in the near future". Trick said.

"I would search for her by scent but...". Dyson sighed.

"Your wound won't allow you to". Trick said raising his hand up to stop Dyson from saying anymore.

"I'm sorry Trick". Dyson said bowing his head.

"You're the one that wanted to go to the Norn. You know how evil she was. She always took what we least expected her to take". Trick sighed as he shook his head.

"I thought it would help Bo! How did I know you were going to write in your blood! Dyson snapped walking away to calm himself. If he pissed the man off, he could, and would write him out of existence. He had done it before with many Fae. He had thought about doing that to Aife on many occasions, but thoughts of Queen Isabeau stopped him.

"I hadn't planned on it. Kenzi had been here giving me a pep talk. I didn't know how your deal with the Norn would turn out, so I did it. I had forgotten that it would affect Aife too". Trick explained. It was true. He had hoped Aife would remain loopy. She wouldn't be causing anymore trouble that way. But she was her mother's daughter, ambitious, and bold.

"So what are we going to do? Dyson asked.

"I have called Cayden. He should be here soon". Trick said walking behind the bar.

"Trick! Just let me make a few calls, go on a few runs. I will find the both of them. I promise". Dyson growled.

"Lower your voice, and as you said, you are indisposed. I need a shifter that I can trust. I have known Cayden almost as long as I have known you". Trick snapped.

Dyson closed his eyes and internally groaned. Cayden was the pretty shifter. The one the women all fell for. He even lost an old girlfriend to Cayden. Well more like he left her behind with Cayden. He needed to get out of there. If Cayden ran into Bo, she would fall for him, or he would mate with her. Between having his love stolen and having it given back to him, his mating with Bo was gone. That's why he needed her. He just needed one time to sleep with her to mate with her again. Bo is his. He growled, and stood up.

"I'm going to look right now. I will find them Trick. You have my word". Dyson said bowing.

Trick shook his head, and waited by his phone. He already had a few less powerful Fae out looking for Aife. But if he was honest with himself. What was he going to do with her? She wasn't exactly going to sit down and have dinner with him.

He just wanted to know where she was and if she was with Bo. That is what made him nervous. He had a full head of hair until Aife turned into a teenager. She had only obeyed her mother. He was just a man that her mother was married to.

Kenzi and Hale

"Dude this is boring. We should be out there looking for Bo". Kenzi said spinning around in Dyson's office chair.

"I was asked to watch you, I wasn't asked to track down a Succubus. You forgot we looked for her for 10 hours". Hale laughed reading over one of his police files.

"She is probably with Lauren. You find Lauren, you find Bo". Kenzi said rolling her eyes. This was not what she thought they would all be doing. She thought they would be at the clubhouse. She thought she would be using her best earplugs to drown out the sounds of them making love. She thought she would be dancing when Dyson would be putting his shirt on as he walked out the door, and sped away for the precinct.

"I know where Dr. Lewis is". Hale said flipping through some paperwork.

"What? Where? Kenzi asked excitedly.

"She was injured last night, and she is recovering at the Light Fae compound". Hale explained never looking at Kenzi.

"What?! And you are just now telling me this?! Kenzi snapped putting her jacket on.

"Sit down Kenzi". Hale said.

"What? I am not staying here. If Lauren is hurt, that's where Bo is". Kenzi said stomping her foot.

"Bo is not there. Now sit down". Hale groaned. He was ready to take her to the Dal, and leave her there, but that would piss Bo off. Pissing Bo off would be an extension of pissing her mother off. He didn't want any part of either.

"She must be headed back to Dyson then. If you don't take me to the Dal right now, I will ask one of these flat foot assholes". Kenzi said.

"If you don't sit down, I will take you into an interrogation room, and handcuff you to the table". Hale said finally making eye contact.

"You wouldn't dare. Have you forgotten that I am Bo's claimed human". Kenzi boasted.

"Bo said use any means necessary to watch over you, handcuffing you to a table, or desk would fall into that category". Hale laughed.

Kenzi scoffed. Had Bo really told him that he could do whatever he wanted? That's an insult to Kenzi. She was nobody's pet. She was claimed yes, but she wasn't Bo's pet. Bo needed her. Her mother was out there. Lauren was out there. She needed Kenzi's advice on family, and relationships. She needed her to guide her to Dyson.

"Man I hope your ass is finally coming in here to work. I have like ten active cases on my desk right now". Hale smiled watching Dyson walk in.

"Sorry about that, but I am only here to grab something out of my desk". Dyson said sidestepping Kenzi.

"Are you going to find Bo? Kenzi asked excitedly.

"Yes. Hopefully her mother too". Dyson said opening and closing a drawer.

"Damn it man. Let them handle their own shit. We are cops too remember? Hale groaned. He was getting tired of Dyson leaving him with so much paperwork. His writing was better but Dyson had a typewriter, he could pitch in, and complete it, or a case that wasn't marked Bo Dennis' va-jay-jay.

"Once I find Bo and Aife, things will get back to normal. I promise". Dyson said softly.

"You will need my help. I am your biggest cheerleader remember? Kenzi grinned.

"I can't take you with me Kenzi. I don't know where they are or how long I will be gone". Dyson said.

"Shit. You two jackholes seem to forget I'm her human. That entitles all of us to a lot of perks. And i know you like perky things". Kenzi said looking up at the wolf.

"Thanks for the mental image Kenzi". Hale laughed.

"Always here to help". Kenzi winked.

"I can't look for Bo, and watch you at the same time. I don't know what Aife would do to you either". Dyson explained.

"He's got you there Kenzi. Aife is a firecracker, and Bo is basically a dud when it comes to you". Hale said putting his papers down.

"But you just said Lauren has been injured. Bo is bound to go back there, if she's not with Dyson right now". Kenzi countered.

"What? Lauren is what? Dyson asked.

"She's recovering. From what I gathered, it's only observation right now". Hale said.

"Where is she? Dyson asked.

"At the Light Fae compound but simmer down dog, you won't get to Doctor. Aife has that place on lockdown". Hale explained.

Dyson started rubbing his beard as he paced back, and forth for a few minutes.

"Don't even think about it man". Hale said.

"What? Dyson asked.

"Don't try and spring Lauren or Aife will jump all over your ass. Or at least what's not still on Evony's floor". Hale laughed.

"Damn you know about that too? Dyson asked.

"Evony has a big mouth. Everybody knows". Hale laughed.

"Bo left all of us for Lauren. We need to use Lauren to get her back". Dyson said.

"I can't stop you. But I will ask for a new partner in anticipation of your untimely death". Hale said going back to his paperwork.

"Dude he's a wolf. He won't ever die". Kenzi said.

"If he goes off into the woods, any hunter's bullet could take him out. He's not immortal. He can die. We all can except for Bo and Aife. All they need is Chi. Aife would pull the Chi from ants if she needed to". Hale responded.

"You could die? You promised you would always be there for Bo! Kenzi snapped. This shot her plans for Bo all to shit. Dyson's mortality is just like a humans, a ticking clock.

Dyson hung his head. Hale had a big mouth. Kenzi didn't need to know that. Bo sure as hell doesn't need to know that. It would make her choice between him and Lauren even.

"I..I have to go". Dyson said as he ran out the door. Hale shook his head. He was going to miss that bastard if Aife got a hold of him again.

Unknown location.

Aife had been sitting in her car far beyond her patience. She groaned, and sighed when a car pulled up beside her. The other driver climbed out of her car and into Aife's.

"What do you have? Aife asked.

"It's not good ma'am". Jessica sighed.

"Just give me the file, if you can't bring yourself to tell me". Aife said.

Jessica sighed, and handed the folder over. She watched Aife turn on the light above the seats and read the first page.

"And you're sure this is accurate? Aife asked.

"Yes ma'am. I had to do a little digging but it's accurate". Jessica said.

"Thank you. You may go". Aife said waving the woman out of the car.

"I need to get to Isabeau and now". Aife said speeding away in her mustang.

Kenzi and Hale

"Detective Santiago? I have the file you requested". A woman said.

"Thanks Sheila". Hale said taking the file from her.

Kenzi sat looking at him. His face was a mixture of looks.

"Oh shit". Hale said.

"What?! Kenzi asked.

"Come on, we have to go". Hale said grabbing his hat, and jacket.

"Where are we going? Kenzi asked.

"We are going to look for Bo". Hale said rushing out of the building with Kenzi hot on his heels.

Light Fae compound.

"And you're sure she's ok? Sasha asked.

"Yes. She's fine other than asking for Bo". Amy answered.

"I can try to find her". Sasha said.

"Please do. She needs to rest in the mean time". Amy said.

"Very well". Sasha said as she turned to walk out of the room.

"Ma'am. Dr. Lewis has been asking for Bo". Sasha said into her phone.

"Why is she worse? Aife asked.

"Her nurse said she's fine, but she needs to rest too". Sasha answered.

"She won't do that until she sees Bo. I am on my way to find her right now". Aife said.

"Ok I will try and keep the peace here". Sasha.

"Try? Girl you better". Aife laughed.

"Yes ma'am". Sasha said hanging up.

Lauren

Lauren had been tossing and turning as she called out for Bo. She was sure she was fine but they medicated her so that she would sleep again. When she tried to get up, she experienced dizziness.

The Doctor was a patient now. A patient that knew she only needed air, and to find Bo. She wasn't getting anywhere with Amy or Dr. Stone. Shaking her head, she tried to climb out of the bed again. After a few minutes she used the wall to walk to the closet.

Grabbing her clothes, she slowly dressed. She was glad she had chosen jeans the previous day because they were not her tight slacks. Pulling her jacket on, she used the walls to walk to the door. Yes it was crazy, but she needed to get to Bo. They needed to talk. It was important. She was so angry that she was sure it was clouding her Doctor judgment of knowing she needed to rest.

She thought of Nadia. She needed to talk to her too. But Bo was number one on her conversation list. One minute they were all talking, the next minute they were exchanging nasty words, and threats.

She knew Nadia used to be a boxer, but Bo is far more powerful than she is. It was a dangerous situation and Lauren was in the middle. It was time for her to break down the equation, like it was a Science problem.

"Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Where are you going? Amy asked softly seeing Lauren's door open.

"I...I need to find Bo". Lauren said still coming out of her slumber.

"Sasha is looking for her as we speak. Now you need to get back in bed". Amy smiled softly.

"Amy. I'm fine. Just help me to my car". Lauren said still walking slowly.

"Dr. Lewis?! What are you doing out of bed? Dr. Stone asked.

"I am looking for someone. As a Doctor I can tell you that I am fine. I just need some air". Lauren responded.

"Ok. If you are going to leave AMA, I can't stop you, but I suggest you rest some time soon". Dr. Stone said helping her to the nearest seat.

"No I don't want to sit down, I want to find Bo". Lauren said.

"We're looking for her Dr. Lewis". Sasha said walking up.

"If you're still here, Aife must be too. She can find Bo". Lauren said.

"She is looking for her right now. You know she will find her". Sasha said.

Sasha had Lauren there. If anyone could find Bo it was her mother. Or Dyson. But she couldn't worry about him now. She had her own problems to worry about, and the wolf wasn't one of them.

Lauren knew as she rushed to try to get to her car, she wouldn't be safe out there alone. Her best bet was to do the one thing she wasn't good at, wait.

Bo

Bo had pulled up to a gas station, gave her money to the attendant, and was currently waiting for her change.

She couldn't keep her mind off of Lauren. She knew being far away from the Succubus was best for the both of them. She knew she probably could have done more, but she felt she had done enough.

"Will that be all ma'am? The handsome attendant smiled.

"You are handsome. Are you tasty too? Bo asked.

"You will just have to find out someday. Right now, I'm working". The man smiled.

"But I'm hungry. I don't want to wait". Bo said running her hand up, and down his muscular arm.

"Well my shift will be over soon. I have to head into Toronto". The man smiled.

Bo couldn't wait any longer. She hadn't fed in almost a day. She hadn't eaten human food all day either. Smiling she pulled the man to her, kissed him, and kept her eyes open. The man's eyes started to roll into the back of his head. She felt bad, but knew she needed to feed. It wasn't personal, it was business. Business for her Succubus. She didn't know what else was waiting for her out there, but she was taking care of one of her needs right now.

Bo dropped him when she heard a familiar laugh. Turning around, her ears hadn't failed her.

"I didn't say you needed to stop sweetie. I just wondered if you were going to leave me any". Aife laughed strolling up to Bo's car.

"How...how did you find me?! Bo panted.

"I have needed gas for hours, and my car finally ran out about a mile back. So I had to walk". Aife responded.

Bo watched Aife for a few minutes. She was glad to see her, but angry that she hadn't gone far enough away. She didn't want anyone finding her. She was better off on the run again.

"My, my Isabeau. What have you done? Aife laughed looking at the man. He was handsome and familiar.

"You know him? Bo asked.

"We all know him sweetie". Aife laughed.

"What? We? As in you, Trick and Dyson? Bo asked.

"Yes all three of us". Aife laughed again. The man was still out, but not dead.

"Who is he? Bo asked looking down at her feed. His eyes were closed, his breaths slow but steady.

"His name is Cayden. He's part of Dyson's old pack". Aife laughed. She never liked the bastard on the ground either. He always thought every woman wanted him, or needed his body. Aife didn't fit either criteria.

"Shit. Dyson will find me. I don't want to see him! Bo snapped. She groaned at her mistake, but she was hungry. She couldn't be choosy.

"You don't have time to worry about Dyson or this fool". Aife laughed kicking the man in the head.

"What?! It's Lauren isn't it?! I killed her". Bo sobbed as she paced back and forth.

"No Isabeau I wouldn't be laughing at a time like that. But you do need to go back". Aife said.

"Why? What happened to her? Bo asked. She was pacing faster now.

"You need to go back Isabeau. If you don't I will be forced to kill the human". Aife explained.

"What? I would kill you myself if you ever touched Lauren that way! Bo snapped as she stopped in her tracks.

"Not her, Nadia". Aife answered.

Bo snapped. The mention of the woman's name had her even more incensed. What had that bitch done to Lauren now?

"What about her? Bo said slowly.

"I did some digging into her background. She has done hard time Bo. She killed a woman, and her kids. Now if she was willing to do that, imagine what she would do to Lauren". Aife said.

"And you're sure about this mom? Bo asked.

"I have the file in my car. I'm sure Isabeau". Aife explained.

Bo snapped again "Where is she?

"She's under heavy security at Taft's compound. But I wanted you to know. If you aren't going to go back, then I can release her, and allow her to run. But you know she would only run back to Lauren". Aife explained.

"Does Lauren know? Bo asked softly. Her mind was racing. Before she went back, she wanted to make sure that it would be best for Lauren. If she knew, she likely accepted the abuse. If she didn't, Nadia had played her.

"The records are more than ten years old. If Nadia was in her pod for five years, Lauren likely didn't know". Aife said.

"Lets go". Bo seethed. She had made a terrible mistake. She looked into Lauren's past but not Nadia's. If she killed again, Bo would inadvertently have blood on her hands again. She shook when she thought of Dyson being a cop. He would love to have this news, and use it against Lauren, enslaving her all over again.

"Fuck that". Bo snapped as she waited for Aife to climb into her car.

The women drove to Aife's mustang and hooked it up to Bo's car. She sped back to the gas station, and waited as Aife filled her tank. Once she was done, they sped off. They were surely breaking the speed limits but neither cared.

Two hours later they arrived at the Light Fae compound. Bo didn't bother turning the engine off, as she ran into the building. Sasha sighed in relief at seeing both women.

"What are we going to do about Nadia? She's human, she likely has family somewhere". Aife said as she pushed the elevator button.

"We are going to make her an offer. She can refuse it, or not. I will handle Lauren". Bo said staring at nothing but a steel plated wall.

"Sounds like a plan to me". Aife laughed. She knew Bo didn't want to kill the woman, but she was going to have fun torturing the fuck out of her.

Bo ran down the hall to Lauren's room, and nearly broke the door down.

"Bo...". Lauren started.

"Come with me". Bo said softly.

"I advise that she should stay another night". Dr. Stone said.

"Can she walk? Bo asked.

"Yes". Dr. Stone said.

"And she can talk? Bo asked.

"Yes". Dr. Stone answered again.

"Then she's well enough to come with me". Bo said never taking her eyes off of Lauren's.

"It's ok. I know I'm better". Lauren smiled at Dr. Stone.

"Very well. Good night Dr. Lewis". Dr. Stone said as he walked out of the room.

Aife and Sasha

"What's the plan ma'am? Sasha asked.

"Just make Nadia comfortable for now". Aife answered.

"And later? Sasha asked.

"That's up to Isabeau and Dr. Lewis". Aife responded.

Sasha pulled her phone out, and called the guards at Taft's compound. Aife would be renaming it soon, but for now, that's what it was.

Bo and Lauren

Bo and Lauren sat in Bo's car. Both ladies stared straight ahead.

"She's a murderer, and woman beater Lauren". Bo said.

"You didn't do it Bo. She pulled me in front of you". Lauren said. Both women spoke simultaneously.

"She what? Both women asked.

"What did you say Lauren? Bo asked turning around to her.

"She pulled me in front of you, so that you would hit me and not her". Lauren said.

Bo closed her eyes, and opened them again. She heard all that she needed to hear. "Put on your seatbelt Lauren".

Lauren nodded and did as she was told. She didn't need to ask where they were going.

"They are going! Sasha said.

"And so are we". Aife said laughing as they ran to her car.

Dyson

Dyson had tracked down Bo's whereabouts to the gas station. He had used every lead he could after showing Bo's picture around. Once he pulled in, he looked around. The doors were open, the lights were on, but he didn't find anyone.

Walking over to the gas pumps, he growled. There was his old pack friend. Someone had rolled over him with a car. Tire tracks were all over his white pants.

"Trick! She killed Cayden. You know she must die now! Dyson screamed into his phone.

"Calm down Dyson. Who are you talking about? Trick asked.

"Bo. She killed him. Trick you know killing a pack member, means death! Dyson screamed.

"You forget who you're talking to! Trick snapped.

"They will kill her Trick. If I don't kill her, they will! Dyson snapped.

"Get back here right now, and you better make it here before the first drop of my blood hits my blood book! Trick snapped. Nobody threatened his family but him.
