"I'm sorry, Dad." A ten years old Danielle said looking down at her laps.
"I hope you are." Her dad answered angrily. "Do you have any idea how far off the rail you've gone on this one?"
"I'm really sorry." Danielle retorted.
"Just tell me what's wrong, Dani? What's going on?" Her father asked her this time with desperation in his voice.
"Dad!" The girl screamed as she saw another car coming right at them.
Her father swerved to the right. They went off the road, the car ended its course in a tree. The other car just kept driving. Leaving them on the side.
Danielle came to a few minutes later. Her face covered in blood, cuts on her cheeks and eyebrows. Her nose broken and bruised. She leaned back against her seat, groaning and moaning in pain. She turned her head to the side. Her father was stuck between his seat and the wheel. His face was bloodied, broken. He wasn't moving. Not even breathing but Danielle didn't see it. She reached out to him.
"Dad?" She rasped out. "Dad? Are you okay?" She took off her seatbelt with a bit of difficulty and she tried to move but it sent a wave of pain through her body. So she called again. "Dad? Dad?" She started to panic and cry. "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!"
Danielle sprang upright in her bed, gasping for breath. She knew it was a nightmare, she has been having this nightmare for years. Usually, she would flop back down on her bed grumbling "Stupid nightmare!" Just like she did today.
She turned to check the hour on her clock. The red numbers indicated seven thirty in the morning. She took her time to get out of bed. Her class started later that day, so she got time to have a cup of coffee and a long warm shower. She threw off her cover, tied her hair up in a messy bun. Her grey socked feet padded the floor as she made her way to the bathroom. She was wearing her large pink flowered shorts and dark tank top.
She was rubbing the sleep away when she stepped into their bathroom. Only to come face to face with a shirtless Fae. Lean but well built. She stopped in the doorway as Dyson turned around. He was brushing his teeth. Danielle stood there, staring, gaping at him. She was confused as to why he was still there.
"What the hell are you doing here?" She couldn't help but ask. She didn't care that she sounded a bit harsh towards him.
"Cute pjs." Dyson smirked answering instead.
"Bo?" She called stepping out of the bathroom instead of answering Dyson.
Dyson chuckled softly before going back at brushing his teeth.
"What is he still doing here? I thought he was only here to heal you?" She said stepping in the kitchen. "Down!" She ordered to Kenzi who was sitting on the table.
"And he did. I must have worn him out by feeding on him." Bo shrugged putting a cup of coffee in her hands while Kenzi sat on a chair.
"Well, next time, just kick him out of here as soon as he wakes up." Danielle grumbled going to the pot of fresh coffee. "I don't like the idea of him sleeping over."
"You didn't really mind when it was Josh doing the sleeping over." Kenzi intervened wiggling her eyebrows suggestively and grinning widely.
"Josh and I were dating. And he was human." Danielle replied immediately. "Dyson and Bo are not dating. She just needs him to heal and most important point. He is Fae."
"What's wrong about that?" Bo asked placing her hands on the counter as Danielle came and stood next to her. "I'm fae and so are you."
"He's working for the Light Fae and everything we're doing he will report to the Ash." Danielle answered. "I don't trust him and I don't like him." Bo opened her mouth.
"She has issues." Kenzi talked before Bo could. "Trust issues. And it didn't help that Josh cheated on her." Danielle slapped her on the side of her head. "Ow. What? It's true!"
"Maybe but you didn't have to spill this out at the first occasion." Danielle sipped from her cup.
"What? Was it supposed to be a secret?" Kenzi's voice was high pitched. Danielle just rolled her eyes at her best friend.
"Hey!" Bo said looked over the little brunette's head. Kenzi and Danielle glanced up briefly to see that Dyson was standing right behind Kenzi. All dressed. Danielle let out a small 'ugh.'
"I'm gonna head out." He said to Bo.
"Okay. Thanks again for last night." Bo replied.
"Anytime." Dyson said walking out of the apartment.
"Anytime." Kenzi mocked Dyson.
Bo rolled her eyes at the girl, Danielle shook her head while Bo putting Kenzi's cereal bowl in the sink. She caught sight of Kenzi's bag in the corner of her eyes. The white paper in the bag attracted her attention. She took one and turned around towards the two girls.
"Kenzi!" Bo said holding up the pamphlet. "What the hell?"
"Right!" Kenzi replied. Danielle just looked back and forth between the two. "About that. I was…"
"Need help, no one believes you. Bo's private investigation service. Specializing in the strange and paranormal. Ten years' experience, police references available. You can't just lie about this shit."
"In my defense, truth is for pussies." Kenzi retorted. Danielle choked up on her coffee.
"You knew about this?" Bo asked her with an accusing tone.
"No. I just found out like you." Danielle replied. "But, yeah, why not? It can be cool."
"I knew you'd be okay with this." Kenzi said excitedly to Danielle.
"Girls, do you have any idea what kind of crackpot we're gonna get with this?" Bo argued once again.
"The kind who pays." Kenzi retorted.
"Kenzi, listen…"
"No, you listen!" Kenzi cut her off. "We're not exactly cut out for day jobs, Bo. I'm a thief and you two are not even human."
"Hey! Watch it."
"I know; you'd rather be normal but you're not. You're freaks and I dig that about you."
"You know you really need to learn when to stop talking."
"Listen. We're gonna need the money." Danielle interrupted. "I can barely get by with my scholarships or Kenzi's booty. Plus, people are willing to pay PIs a fortune, just so the po-po don't get involved. And maybe helping people with your powers might help you enjoy it finally. But I'm warning you, if it's fae related, I'm not getting involved."
"And we already have people calling." Kenzi added. "Just meet with one of them before you decide. Okay?"
"One."
"Well, this meeting is gonna be without me." Danielle announced walking to the sink.
"Why?" Bo asked her.
"Uh, college girl really needs to attend class. So, I'm gonna pass on this one." She retorted. "But call if you need anything." She said as she disappeared in the corridor.
"Hey, Dani! Wait up!"
"Morning Joshua!" Danielle turned around to face the young man who was rushing up to her. "How you're doing?"
"Better now that you're here." Joshua smiled at her.
"You're such a flirt." She joked back. "So, what's up doc?"
"Professor Sorry-Ass set up a meeting with me." He grumbled.
"What did you do this time?"
"My paper is overdue." He retorted.
"Joshua, you will never understand, will you?" Danielle shook her head. "And maybe you should stop calling him, Professor Sorry-Ass, it might actually help your case."
"What's his real name again?"
"Professor Sommerset." She rolled her eyes. "Come on, you wouldn't want to be late in his class, now would you?"
Two classes after, Danielle went directly at the library to give back some books she has borrowed and borrowed some more for her pleasure. She always chose folklore and legends according to their country. And mostly according to the similarity those creatures with actual Faes that she knew of. Joshua has told her about a good book he read the other day. It was about Japanese folklore; she's never read one of those. She has always been reading books about the Celtics legends or the Greek ones but never she read about the Asian ones. So she decided to give it a try.
"Honey, I'm home!" She sang as she stepped in the loft. "I'm making just a quick stop. I'm just dropping some books I've borrowed and then I'm gone." She said walking into the hallway that led to her room. She stopped and turned around when she saw Kenzi holding a pink attire. "Er…what is this about?"
"It's our case." Bo started to explain as Kenzi was looking at the pink clothes with disgust. "Our first client is looking for her daughter, Gina. She just disappeared one day and no one heard of her ever since. No texting, no calling, no shopping in 48 hours." Bo summarized for her.
"Alright! Why the clothes then?" Danielle pointed out.
"We are going undercover." Bo said as Kenzi was still not talking. "Dyson got me a place as a security guard. And Kenzi's going in as…"
"Kappa Girl." Kenzi whined.
Danielle couldn't help but laugh. "Oh boy!"
"Ah, ah, ah! Laugh all you want." Kenzi said dryly. "Just so you know, we're going to Locksley."
"What?" Danielle immediately stopped laughing. "Locksley. That's where I'm going to college."
"Don't I know that." Kenzi replied. "Imagine how much fun it's gonna be to have me and Bo around."
"Oh, boy!" Danielle said less enchanted by the idea.
It's not that Danielle disliked spending time with her two friends. It was just that college was her personal thing. A place away from Kenzi and her craziness, away from the daily and boring life. Somewhere she could be herself. Everyone needs a place like this and for Danielle, it was college. It was her quiet place.
"I hate you long time." Kenzi said dressed in pink, carrying a pink bag and wearing a blond wig. "Are you really gonna make me do this?"
"Like you haven't done worse?" Bo chuckled as Kenzi tried to slow her down. "What is the problem?"
"I can handle scary monsters but privilege creeps me out." Kenzi retorted.
"Well, this is the gig, so suck it up." Bo finally said as the trio walked to the Kappa house.
"I better get danger pay. This is bad for my soul." They stopped in front of the house.
"Suck to be you, Kenz." Danielle commented.
"Kappa Theta Xi. According to her mom, Gina spent her final days here. You need to get in there and find out what they know. You sure you worked a solid cover?" Bo questioned the now blond girl.
"Please, I have grifted many guys." Kenzi showed Bo her student card. "I think I can con a few muffys…if I must."
"Oh, you must. And look on the bright side…" Bo threw her arms on her friends' shoulders. "Maybe you were right the first time. Maybe Gina's just playing hooky and this whole thing will be over soon." Kenzi hummed in answer.
"That's all you got about the victim?" Danielle asked Bo as she walked her friend to the security service.
"Yes and you're not supposed to see that." Bo said taking back the file. "I know you don't want to get involved but do you think you can find anything on this Fae?"
"I'll see what I can do. But that's only because it's you." Danielle replied. "Now, Wayne is kinda weird. He's not a bad guy but sometimes, he acts creepy. So, don't pay attention to it."
"Thanks for the heads up." Bo smiled at her red head friend. "Wish me luck."
"Good luck." And the two friend parted ways.
Danielle was used to sit in the library reading books for hours. But today was different. Today, she was doing it to save a girl's life. So, she looked everywhere, in every book, in every legend. She first looked in the creatures that sucked the life out of you. Of course, the common thing came up, Vampires, Succubus, Ghouls, Sirens. Then she targeted the creatures that only targets the woman. It narrowed down her research but there was still a lot to look into.
When the library closed she walked out of the campus, ready to hail a cab so she could go back home. But she changed her plans when she stumbled on her friend Kenzi. The girl didn't seem to be able to walk on a straight line and seemed to lose balance quite frequently.
"You abandoned the Kappas?" Danielle asked.
"Holy crap balls!" Kenzi cursed. "You're still here?"
"Yeah, I was making some research for our case." Danielle replied quickly. "And you, what are you doing here?"
"Our case?" Kenzi grinned like an idiot.
"Kenzi, focused!" Danielle hissed at her. "So, where were you heading?"
"Dean's office. Wanna come?"
"No but I better keep an eye on you before you get in trouble."
Kenzi picked the lock of the dean's office while Danielle stood behind her glancing nervously around her. Kenzi opened the door and peaked through it. She jumped slightly as she discovered Bo on the other side of the door.
"Geez!" Kenzi exclaimed.
"What are you doing here?" Bo hissed pulling them inside. She looked at Kenzi in particular. "Are you drunk?"
"I will have you know I am in character." Kenzi replied. She received blank stare from Bo and Danielle both. "Also tipsy."
"Just tipsy?" Danielle gave her a pointed look.
"You look like you're canvassing for the young conservatives." Bo added mockingly.
"Please, tell me you found something so we can ditch this gig and head home." Kenzi said leaning on the desk. "The all-day smiling is killing me."
"But you have such a beautiful smile." Danielle teased her.
"I haven't found anything yet." Bo continued ignoring their conversation. "But I don't really know what I'm looking for. You?" Bo turned to Danielle.
"There's too many creatures to look into, Bo. Too many folklore legends to go through. Right now, I'm like you. I don't know what I'm looking for." Danielle retorted. "I narrowed it down to the creatures that targets woman only but there's still too many. Sorry."
"And the Kappas?"
"They definitely have something in their basement they don't want peeped." Kenzi answered. "They lock it up whenever they aren't in there." Her hands hit the photo on the desk. She took it in her hands. "I know this chippy." She held up the frame towards Bo. Danielle looked at it quickly.
"That's Peretti, the Dean of Locksley." Danielle told her.
"She's also Kappa." Kenzi said. "Or was. They have her picture up at the house."
"You're sure?" Bo questioned her.
"Yes."
"Shit!" Bo cussed looking over their shoulders.
"What?" Danielle asked looking behind her. A beam of light was coming from behind the door, in the hallway.
"Patrol's early. Come on. Hide." Bo said putting the papers on the desk back together while Danielle pushed Kenzi behind the desk.
"Jesus." Kenzi swore as Bo pulled her and Danielle under the desk.
The security guard stepped in and took a quick look around. He then stepped to the coat hanger and sniffed into the scarf that was hanging there. Kenzi who has crawled closer to the edge to get a better look, let out a small "eww" before Bo pulled her back under the desk. The guard took a second look around before leaving the office.
Kenzi and Danielle stood up. "Well, this was pointless."
"Maybe not." Bo said still crouched under the desk. "Taped under the desk. I almost missed it." Bo opened the brown envelope and took out a white paper. "What is it? Some kind of code?" She asked showing the paper to Kenzi and Danielle.
"No." Danielle said. "It's student number's IDs." Kenzi took the paper from Bo's hands.
"Can you use those numbers to get me their names?" Bo asked the girl.
"I can try." Kenzi replied. "Still don't get why she should tape it under her desk."
"I have no idea. But if it's worth hiding, it's definitely worth finding out. Come on, let's go." Danielle took the lead as they walked out of the office together.
Unlike Bo and Kenzi who stayed on the campus. Danielle went back to the clubhouse. There, she went directly to her bedroom and went through her book cases. She was looking for one particular item. When her father died and she wanted to know more about the Fae that didn't bother to take her in, she started to write a small bestiary. It was a classification of the creatures that exist among the Fae. She had added three new entries that weren't there before; Succubus, Will of the Whisp and the Dullahan.
Anyway, she hoped that she came, in her reading, across a creature that has some attraction to young woman and would abduct them. Problem was that she has no idea why they would abduct those women? And what these creatures would do to them? Without those two information, whatever she'll find could turn out not to be the good answer.
Finally, after hours of reading and rereading through her books and her small bestiary, Danielle fell asleep on the couch.
She was awoken by Bo who came back at the clubhouse early in the morning. The Succubus was carrying many blueprints in her arms. "What are these for?" Danielle asked in a sleepy voice.
"I'm checking up something." Bo simply answered as the redhead stood up and went to make a fresh pot of coffee. "A hunch..."
"Want some coffee?" Danielle offered. Bo nodded briefly. "Please, tell me this hunch, will help us find more information on our Fae. Or at least give me something to work on."
"Still didn't find anything?"
"Nope. But I'll keep digging. You never know I might finally stumble on something." Danielle said stifling a yawn. "I'll go back to the library." Danielle turned around as the door to the clubhouse shut behind a disheveled Kenzi. "You look like hell."
"I look like college." Kenzi countered.
"Hey, watch it!" Danielle chided her lightly.
"For preppies, those girls can hang. Turns out 'girls night' was code for 'drink until your lips fall off and you start oversharing.'" Kenzi collapsed in the couch as Danielle walked up to her friends. "I think I touched a boob."
"Two, actually." Danielle chimed in. "One of them was mine."
Bo laughed lightly. "Hey, you crack those student's numbers for me?"
"Yeah, had to bribe some kid at the register's." Kenzi pulled out a piece of paper and gave it to Bo. "What's with the paperwork?"
"She's playing a hunch." Danielle replied passing a warm cup of coffee to Bo and Kenzi.
"Check this out." Bo spread the maps on the table so both her friends could see better. "I've been wondering about all the constructions on campus and that sinkhole that I found. It turns out that there's a bunch of caves from an underground stream right under the school." Bo explained.
"Underground stream?" Danielle repeated already deep in thought. It was actually giving her more clues on the kind of fae she was looking for.
"Looks like some of the old tunnels lead right to a few buildings, including, the Kappa house. I'm just not sure how it all ties together."
"We may not have time to figure it all out." Kenzi spoke. "It's our Kappa initiation, tonight. Right in our basement. Dude, if they're doing something nasty down there, I'm heading smack for it."
"Shit." Bo cursed.
"I don't like this." Danielle said. "We don't have enough information."
Bo was about to intervene when her phone rang up. "Dyson. I'll have him trace the names. Look, find out what you can about tonight and we'll make a final plan, okay?"
"Uh-uh." Kenzi replied.
"Here's some coffee." Danielle offered her. "Go and take a shower. You might feel better after this. You can borrow some of my clothes."
"You got pink clothes in your wardrobe?" Kenzi asked stunned.
"I've got a pink shirt." Danielle shrugged. "I liked the color."
Danielle was reading in a corner in the library. Students were walking by her every once in a while, not paying attention to her. She was so focused on her reading, her notebook opened in front of her, that she didn't see Joshua coming to her table.
Joshua and Danielle has dated six months after they both started college. They liked each other right away. Josh liked her red hair and her green eyes. Danielle liked his blue eyes and his smile. They turned around each other for a while and they ended up kissing one night after class. It was outside of the building, they laughed at a stupid joke that Josh has made and they parted ways and while doing so, Danielle just leaned in and laid a kiss on his lips. She pulled away stunned at her own action. They both looked at each other and they chuckled awkwardly and without a word, Josh initiated the second kiss.
When she met Kenzi, Josh and Danielle were still dating but things weren't great between them. Josh felt that Danielle didn't truly trust him and Danielle felt that Josh was hiding something from her. And they were both right. Danielle couldn't tell him about her true nature and never told him about her parents, her childhood whereas Josh have told her everything about him. Josh loved Danielle, of that he was sure but he also loved other women and he slept around while still dating her.
Danielle found out and eventually broke up with him. It was a hard time for Danielle, since they were both following the same courses but they ended up being friends somehow. Danielle still loved him, though and it did hurt her to see him with other girls but she kept it in and never told him about her feelings.
"Hey, beautiful!" Josh greeted her sitting across her. "What are you working on?"
"Hey." Danielle raised up her head. "I'm…working on…something really important that I can't talk about."
"Don't trust me, uh?" Josh questioned.
"I've trusted you before and you proved me that I was wrong to do so." She replied immediately. Her eyes felt shut as she regretted her words. Josh got up without a word and was about to leave. "Do you know what kind of creature abduct young women?"
He turned around and stared at her before sitting back down. "Well, remember that book I told you about?"
"Yeah, the Japanese Folklore one." Danielle nodded. "What about it?"
"There's a chapter about the river boy." Josh continued. "It's a creature that lives in ponds or rivers mostly. Hold on!" He held up a finger before digging through his bag.
"And how do you know it's this creature and not another?" Danielle asked him.
"Because the name of the creature reminded of the sorority girls."
"What?" She said confused.
He opened a book in front of her. "Kappa." He said pressing a finger on a drawing that was in his book.
It was the drawing of a humanoid creature, roughly the size of a child and its skin was covered with or was actually reptilians' scales. There was a flat hairless region on the top of its head. Danielle briefly read the description that was written next to the picture.
Roughly it says that the Kappa are tricksters and usually live in ponds. From there, it will draw its victim in order to drown them. They also kidnap children and raped women. Most of the time when they lure their victims in order to drink their blood, eat their livers or gaining their power by taking their…
"Shirikodama?" Danielle scrunched up her eyebrows.
"A ball that is supposed to contain the soul. It's usually located in the anus." Josh retorted.
"Ewww." Danielle cringed.
"I know." Josh chuckled.
"Does it say are we supposed to stop this thing?" She asked.
"First, tell me, why do you need this information?" Josh took her hand in his.
"I really can't tell and it's not because I don't trust you. It's just better if you don't know." She replied truthfully. She didn't want him to get hurt in the process.
Joshua stared at her for a few seconds. He didn't really know what to do of her answer but he saw a seriousness in her eyes. Something told him that she was telling the truth.
"So about a way to stop him…" Josh flipped the pages.
It was almost dark outside when Danielle received a call from Kenzi. Josh has left a moment ago and she was still reading the book about the Kappa taking notes about the means to stop it.
"Hey, Kenz." She answered the call. "Whoa…whoa…slow down."
"Kenz, still no answer?" She questioned the brunette as soon as she joined her friend in front of the dean's building.
"No." Kenzi replied her voice laced with worries.
"Where was she last time you talked to her?"
"To the dean's office." Kenzi answered as Danielle saw Dyson walking up to them.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"I called him." Kenzi said.
"You called him?" Danielle shrieked.
"What was I supposed to do?" Kenzi yelled back. "You and Bo have no clues of what we are dealing with."
"And Dyson does?"
"Yes." Kenzi retorted. "Maybe. I don't know."
"How about we found Bo first?" Dyson suggested before any of the girls could start or throw another argument. He placed his hands on both girls' shoulders but Danielle shrugged it off. They entered the building and Danielle froze in her steps.
"What's wrong?" Kenzi immediately asked her turning around to face her friend.
Danielle was looking down but when she raised her head, her eyes were a deep purple. "Someone's dead." She answered her voice was hollowed, emotionless, cold.
"Is it Bo?" Kenzi asked her.
"It's not fae." Danielle answered in that same voice before going back
And minutes later when they reached the dean's office, they knew she was right. Dyson's eyes turned black with a yellow iris. His eyes changed as he smelled the blood in the air. He opened the door and sure enough someone was dead. The Dean was sitting in her chair with a knife in her neck. "She's not gonna be much help."
"Now, how the hell are we supposed to find Bo?" Kenzi asked. "Those tunnels run for miles."
"New plan. Come on." Dyson said taking the lead. Kenzi and Danielle closed behind him.
Danielle grabbed her phone and tried Bo's number once again. "Damn it!" She cussed breathlessly. "Still not answering her phone. How are we going to find her?"
"Wait! Let me focus." Dyson said stopping. He looked around seemingly trying to pick up a scent. He ran again taking his shirt and jacket off.
"What the hell are you doing?" Kenzi questioned him.
"The trail mix with someone else's, I can follow the scent like this." Dyson throwing his clothes at Danielle. "Just remember to tell Bo to knock the top off."
"Wait! Why can't you tell her?" As soon as Kenzi said those words, Dyson turned into a full wolf right before their eyes. "Oh, shitballs! That was awesome!"
"A shapeshifter, I should have known." Danielle commented. She felt a bit of admiration and excitation at this new piece of information but she didn't show it.
"Here boy!" Kenzi screamed through the woods, looking for Dyson.
"Really?" Danielle deadpanned.
"He is a wolf." Kenzi countered. "How am I supposed to call him?"
"Like you usually do. By his first name, hoping that he will answer." A scream rose through the woods. It was a scream of pain. "Well, now we know where to look."
When they arrived on the scene, Wayne was lying on the ground badly wounded or probably dead. And Dyson was back to his human form and naked. Danielle gasped and turned her back immediately, feeling the heat creeping up her neck and cheeks. She didn't know how long she stood like that but it was a welcomed relief to hear Dyson said that they needed to hurry to find Bo. When she turned back around, she saw that he has at least his jeans on.
They went through a long tunnel hearing Bo's cries at the end of it. Her cries were accompanied by sounds of a struggling. When they reached the small cave, Bo was being held up by the Kappa as he was sucking life out of her. Dyson grabbed an iron bar and hit the Kappa violently over the head. And it fell on the ground, the liquid that was over his head poured out on the ground.
"That was gross!" Danielle mumbled as Bo rushed to Gina that was sitting in her corner of the cave.
"Why are you half naked?" Bo asked having now realized that Dyson was in fact half naked.
"Can I tell her?" Kenzi said looking at Dyson. "Please let me tell her." Dyson pushed Kenzi out.
Bo walked past him with Gina in her arms and Danielle was the last to follow. As she walked past him she shoved his shirt into his stomach. "Cover up, Fabio!" Dyson snorted as Danielle made her way out of the cave.
Kenzi and Danielle knocked on the door of the bathroom. "Bo!"
"Nobody's home." Bo answered on the other side of the door.
Danielle and Kenzi stepped in anyway. They walked up to the bathtub and both knelt down. "Check it." Kenzi holding Danielle's bestiary.
"Face I never wanna see again." Bo retorted. "Turn."
"Danielle drew it." Kenzi said.
"It's called a Kappa. A Japanese Fae." Danielle continued taking her book from Kenzi's hands.
"Poetic, uh?"
"Not up close." Bo sighed. "What about Wayne and Gina?"
"Mr. Dyson says they'll be pinning everything on Wayne. And they'll pull some kind of Fae hoodoo to convince Gina he was working alone." Kenzi said reaching out for Bo's glass of wine. "Now can we talk about the elephant in the room, and by elephant, I mean the sexy sexy wolfman."
"What about him?" Bo asked, Danielle looked up at her two friends.
"A, he's awesome and B, you love him." Kenzi stood up excitedly. "Oh, by the way, I totally saw his wolf junk. High Five." Bo laughed ad high fived her.
"It compensates for his lack of brain." Danielle added.
"Dani!" Bo slapped her slightly on the arm laughing. "What is the matter with you two?"
"We're happy for you, that's all." Kenzi answered for her friend.
"I thought you hated Fae?" Bo asked Danielle.
"When she said 'we', she meant 'she.'" Danielle clarified. "I still don't like Faes but I'm forced to admit that Dyson has proved himself useful and helpful."
"He's pretty great." Bo chuckled.
Kenzi hugged her. "Awww! I knew you loved him."
"I don't know. God, it's ridiculous. I feel like a teenager. You tell me. What do I do next?" Bo asked sitting down next to Danielle.
"I'd say next…you tell him." Kenzi suggested.
"Killing people is so much easier." Bo sipped from her glass.
"That, right there, was creepy." Danielle commented looking through her entries.
"Is that me?" Bo spotted a page on which she saw a drawing of herself.
"Yeah."
"What is this?" Bo asked her.
"A bestiary." Danielle replied. "A book in which I'm classifying every kind of Fae, I know or meet."
"That might come in handy. Those drawings are pretty cool."
"I know."
"Are you going to draw Wolf Man in this?" Kenzi asked wriggling her eyebrows.
"Unfortunately, yes." Danielle sighed. "I don't have any wolf in there."
"Are you going to draw him naked?"
"No." Danielle deadpanned.
"Come on!" Kenzi whined. "Love me some yummy Wolf-Man."
"Kenzi, shut up."
Don't forget to leave a review. It's always welcomed.
