Bo

Bo admittedly was stunned by the recent events. She was not upset. Just a bit lost. She knew she and the others had agreed to allow Lauren to decide how Dyson and Trick were to be dealt with and even she was impressed by Lauren's originality. Trick was dead. Dyson was dead. Is their relationship dead too?

It had been a long slow burn after they left the Dal. Lauren wasn't paying much attention to her at all and it was starting to get to her Succubus as well. But what could she do other than everything she was doing? Trying to be there for Lauren in whatever capacity she would allow her to be.

She had taken a seat as they waited at the airport. Aife had said that since they were going back with a new Succubus she wanted to travel in style. They were waiting for her private pilot to gas up the plane and to ensure everything inside was spotless to the touch. She should have made the arrangements earlier but had no idea they would be going back so soon.

They didn't even pack any bags. Bo had called Kenzi and let her know where they were going but that she didn't want her tagging along. If she wanted to fix things with Lauren, she didn't need Kenzi's long standing feelings of Lauren being too inadequate for Bo to fog her mind. She needed to talk to Lauren as Bo and it needed to be a real talk not a two minute conversation that she expected to lead to their forever. Now that they had forever with Lauren being a Succubus and a witch. The latter was just as stunning as the first.

Things were still tense between them. Bo knew it was mostly her fault if not all. But she wanted to make a conscious effort to try and get them back on track. Her Succubus felt a bit of shame too. Why was Dyson's life so important to her that she was selfishly endanger Lauren and Kenzi's lives? She didn't love him Bo did. Once.

If Dyson wanted to give his life for her, she should have allowed him to. Ask him again in a hundred years? For what? He would have been left in her Dawning and she was still in love with Lauren. And since he was now dead her feelings for the Doctor had not waned. Not one ounce.

She was uncertain if Lauren wanted her to come with them or not. But she couldn't exactly stop her. They had bumped into each other awkwardly to which Lauren only responded to it with a half smile of a half smile. Bo sighed. She was starting to wonder if Lauren's anger was only Dyson or something else. They felt over even though neither of them had actually said the words.

Once Aife was satisfied that things were up to her standards they boarded the plane. Aife allowed Lauren to board before her and Bo followed Lauren.

"Well ladies pick a seat and your poison". Aife laughed gesturing to the plush seats. Bo had flown a few times but none of those seats were as comfortable as these.

"I'll have a glass of wine". Lauren said softly to the stewardess.

Bo didn't like it. She leaned over and said "I'll have the same". Giving the woman a warning look.

"Is there something wrong ma'am? The stewardess asked.

"Nothing our wine won't fix". Bo snapped.

Aife was laughing at the sight. Bo had so much to learn. The woman was happily married why would Bo think something was going to happen between she and Lauren?

"Isabeau mind your manners". Aife said softly.

"Can we go now? Bo asked. She wished they would have used Bashira. They would be there already.

"Do you need a nap? There's a couch in the back". Aife laughed.

For the first time Lauren looked at Bo. She knew what was wrong. Bo needed to feed. But she was obviously trying not to do so in front of Lauren.

"She's hungry". The Doctor said.

"I'm fine. I'm just ready to go. Not that big on flying". Bo said softly.

Lauren knew better. She had seen Bo in distress when she really needed to feed. "Bo you need to feed".

"She's right. If you want, you can feed off of Frankie. She really won't mind". Aife said.

"Frankie? Who the hell is that? Bo asked. She didn't know or never met a Frankie.

"Frankie is my stewardess. Although she might not be as nice since you all but snubbed her". Aife said.

Bo sat back. She just wanted off of the plane and hopefully this Frankie would return with their whine soon.

Frankie had returned with their wine and Bo downed hers as soon as they were given their glasses.

"Just bring the bottle". Aife said as Frankie nodded and walked away.

Bo ordered some actual food too. The more she ate, the sooner the flight would be over.

Once Frankie agreed to allow Bo to feed off of her and she returned they spent the next hour going over what they would do when they arrived. Aife had called ahead and made arrangements for them to have separate rooms but close enough for them to remain in close proximity. Lauren had listened intently. She had traveled all over the world but had never been to Berlin. Once Aife explained her status she let go of the breath of nerves she was holding.

From what she understood the area was literally swamped with Succubus. Aife had them all in check though. Albert would be joining them when he was ready. He told Aife he had a surprise for Lauren and wanted to work on it before her joined them. She promised him that she would look after Lauren and that she was in good hands as Aife thought herself to be the baddest most frightening Succubus out there. Well besides Bo.

Once Bo allowed herself to settle into the flight she was making mental notes of what she wanted to do as well. She had already earmarked a few spots in the castle for her and Lauren to have privacy to talk. Those Succubus she met the last time were greedy bitches and she could only imagine how they were going to react to Lauren.

Lauren is a Succubus and a witch! Bo looked at her. Lauren was drop dead gorgeous. Her blonde locks looked as though she had highlighted them. She smiled when the Doctor yawned and immediately offered her a blanket and pillow. "Sleep babe". She said softly.

Lauren didn't protest. She had been wanting to sleep just to get away from all that was clouding her head. After all the shit the Fae had put her through over the years only to learn that she was Fae too, she needed to find a way to rest her mind for the moment. She was still Lauren Lewis. She was still a Doctor. She didn't know Aife quite that well but she was Bo's mother and if anyone could teach her the ropes on being a Succubus, it was Aife. If worst came to worse she did know that Bo would protect her above anything else that they encountered or felt.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The chair she was sitting in felt as soft as a cloud. This was nice. This was quiet. This was a chance to reconcile everything she now knew in her head.

Bo watched Lauren finally settle and it hurt her heart. She wanted to be the seat she was sitting in. The blanket warming her up. The pillow she was reasting her head on.

Aife's castle

The trio had landed a mile away from the castle. Bo laughed wondering how she never noticed it before.

A limo drove them the short distance. Lauren looked refreshed and Bo was hopeful that meant that she would want to sit down and talk to the Succubus. Bo didn't want to crowd her but she knew how Lauren felt about the Fae especially after Nadia died. The woman had all but run away from them, in her mind at least. She was rightfully and deservedly pissed off.

Bo was so happy Albert was around now because Lauren had actually family that she could talk to and visit. She had no idea why he didn't come with them but Aife assured her that he would be joining them soon. She thought he may have stayed behind to take over the Dal or run it in their absence. The bar needed a lot of work and cleaning. This was good for them to get away. The recent memories were still thick in the air.

They pulled up outside of the castle and Aife escorted them in with the guards bowing towards the trio.

Bo slowly walked behind Lauren. She was certain she was angry. Angry enough to pass out again.

"Come on ladies. We have much to do! Aife laughed pointing down a long hall that lead to a staircase.

Bo sighed. What was Aife up to now? She just wanted to talk to Lauren before they all went to bed.

They reached the stairs and gawked at them. They were long winding stairs but were in pristine condition. Bo allowed Lauren to go up first when Aife gestured for them to go. Once they reached the top they saw two rooms on opposite sides of each other.

"These two are the biggest bedrooms in the entire castle besides mine". Aife said pointing at them.

"I will take the one on the right". Lauren said softly walking to it. When she entered her mouth dropped. When Aife said bedroom, she meant bedroom. The bed nearly took up the whole room but it was still quite spacious. There was a giant door leading to a balcony. A fireplace on opposite sides of the room and plenty of walking and closet space. For an old castle Lauren knew it had been remodeled. She wasn't in need of a shower yet but went to freshen up and her mouth dropped again. The giant bathtub faced a window leading to a spectacular view. She exhaled as she allowed the beauty to relax her.

Bo bowed her head after Lauren had entered her room and went to check her room out. Hers was exactly identical to Lauren's. She never noticed anything else as this was a room she hoped she didn't see a lot of. She wanted Lauren and would do any and everything to reconcile the distance that hung so heavily between them.

She walked back out as she noticed Aife was talking to one of her guards. She stood with her back against the wall. She knew Lauren wouldn't have gone back downstairs without them, so she would wait for her to come out. It wasn't late enough for bed yet.

Aife was on her phone after the guard had left so Bo didn't have a chance to get a word in. She had forgotten how powerful her mother was there. She didn't much like the Succubus she came across the last time she visited but knew they knew not to screw around with her.

Aife was done with her call when Lauren finally emerged from her room.

"I'm hungry". Lauren said softly.

"Well if the kitchen is anything like the bedrooms it should be hella stocked with food". Bo replied.

"Not that kind of hungry". Lauren said..

"I am way ahead of you Doctor, there are a few downstairs that will allow you to feed from them". Aife smiled.

Bo didn't like it. The place was practically crawling with Succubus after Succubus. Trying to keep her temper in check she simply walked towards the stairs. She wanted to see who Aife had lined up. She wasn't about to watch Lauren feed off of just anyone.

Aife laughed at Bo and gestured for Lauren to follow her daughter.

Once they were at the bottom Bo looked around and didn't see anyone but she could tell someone was close.

"Follow me". Aife said to the duo. As they walked Bo looked over at Lauren who kept her eyes straight ahead. Bo could tell she was really hungry. She knew those signs well and swallowed hard that Lauren would need a full feed soon.

"Well where are they? Bo asked after they had entered the throne room. Aife ignored her as she took her throne and faced them.

"Alfred! Bring them in". Aife ordered. Bo and Lauren turned around and saw only 2 women come in. One of them Bo recognized from the club and her Succubus growled.

"Easy Isabeau". Aife said softly.

Aife stood from her throne and walked down towards the ladies. They stood stiff awaiting her next move. She reached them and began to speak. "Dr. Lewis here needs to feed, I will allow one of you to volunteer who goes first".

"But my Queen..". One of the ladies started until she noticed Aife eyeing her.

"I won't accept any excuses. If you are about to tell me that you are refusing to help, I can find a nice, dark dungeon for you to sit and think about your disobedience". Aife snapped.

"My Queen you said she's a Doctor". The woman said.

"Skyla I also said she needs to feed and one of you may volunteer who goes first". Aife said.

"My Queen she looks like she needs a full feed". Skyla responded.

"That's right she does. That's why there are two of you. If she depletes the first one, she has a backup". Aife laughed.

Skyla and the other Succubus looked at each other but neither had said anything yet.

"I will start off with the one that volunteers. As I said she is a Doctor which means she is basically a genius and will learn very quickly how to feed from my demonstration". Aife laughed licking her lips as she looked back and forth between the women.

Bo didn't like it. Did Aife forget she's a Succubus too? Did she forget that Lauren was still her gf since they hadn't officially broken up yet? "Mom".

"She has to learn Isabeau and you do too". Aife said softly. She read Bo's aura and saw she was highly annoyed.

"Skyla can go first". Perri said.

"Bitch please. The Queen said volunteer not volunteer someone else". Skyla said.

"Enough! Aife snapped as Bo stood behind her tapping her foot.

"Dr. Lewis join us". Aife said softly waving Lauren over in their direction. Aife nooded her head waiting for Lauren to reach them.

Lauren slowly walked forward. She had no idea what Aife was about to do but she wasn't afraid of whatever it was.

"You two bitches must have forgotten or not know what I did with Renee and Shelly". Aife laughed.

"My Queen"...Skyla started.

"But if is of no consequence. I will decide for you". Perri will go first since she spoke her first". Aife said.

Perri hung her head. She thought for sure Skyla would go first or be chosen first. She too didn't like how hungry Lauren looked and how Aife looked at the moment.

When Aife felt Lauren close enough to hear her she began.

"Dr. Lewis allow me to show you how to feed without sex. Now what you need to know first is, you don't have to actually kiss the other person. You just need to get your Succubus aroused enough to feed. Now Perri here will kiss me and I hope she's brushed her teeth. Once her tongue penetrates my mouth long enough, it should wake my Succubus up. Once I start to feed I will back off, then you can feed. We all know you are in need of a full feed. Once you feel you have depleted Perri, drop her ass to the ground and grab Skyla". Aife laughed. This was going to be fun. She hoped Bo had been paying attention to learn this herself.

"Mom". Bo said softly.

"Unless you can teach the Doctor what I'm talking about Isabeau, watch and learn". Aife said over her shoulder.

"But that's not how you feed". Bo said.

"It is how you feed. You must have either been greedy or horny". Aife laughed.

"But Lauren's not a killer! Bo snapped.

"She's a Succubus. If she doesn't feed, she will die. Would you rather watch her die but not this bitch? Aife snapped as she held Perri by her shirt collar.

"She's not a killer! Bo snapped turning around in frustration.

"Fine Isabeau I will let this bitch live and if she doesn't get enough from these two, she can finish with you. Will that make you happy? Aife laughed. She knew Bo was hot for Lauren at the moment.

"But you said no tongue. I feed with tongue". Bo said.

"You're not the one feeding, she is". Aife said.

"If you two are done, can we get started? Lauren snapped.

"Sorry sweetie. Class is back in session". Aife laughed pulling Perri's lips to her.

Aife sighed in her mind as she felt Perri's tongue to enter her mouth. She wasn't as hungry as Lauren so she didn't feed long before she pushed Perri away.

"You saw her chi right? Aife asked gently.

"I did". Lauren responded.

"It's your turn but wait a minute". Aife said pulling a bottle of breath freshener spray from her pocket as she sprayed it inside Perri's mouth and her own. When the Succubus coughed, Lauren and Aife stood back waiting for her to finish.

"Now! We don't have all day! Aife screamed at Perri making Skyla jump too.

Perri jumped in front of Lauren waiting for her. Lauren hesitated for a moment and then took Perri's head into her hands. Gently leaning forward she alllowed Perri to kiss her.

Internally Lauren was disgusted. She never liked anyone that she wasn't attracted to kissing her but knew she needed this and it wasn't about feelings.

Bo on the other hand watched them for a few minutes until it looked like it was becoming too much for Perri to handle.

"Shit. You will know when you've had enough. It will feel like your stomach is full and you can't eat another bite of food". She said turning Lauren towards her and kissed her. She was saddened when Lauren didn't return her kiss but kept on until she knew Lauren's Succubus was ready. Bracing herself she waited for the onslaught that she knew was coming.

When Bo pulled Lauren off of Perri, Lauren's Succubus retreated. At least she knew what it felt like to stop. She pulled Bo closer and waited for her Succubus to wake up again. A thick blue ribbon of chi flowed between them. Bo watched as Lauren's eyes nearly matched it. She had to focus because Lauren was the one feeding. No matter how much she wanted the Doctor at that moment, she couldn't take the chance of feeding her own Succubus at the risk of Lauren's life.

Bo froze when Lauren pulled back almost five minutes later. She looked even more beautiful than Bo had ever noticed. She looked fed and happy. But happy about what? Her feed? Them? Or just the excitement of knowing when to stop?

"You're a fast learner. That will help you in the long run". Aife said smiling and giddy with glee.

"Yes well I've seen Bo feed and chi suck before". Lauren said.

Bo cringed. That was definitely a shot being fired at her. But she couldn't take that personally. Lauren had never been cruel and was likely just pointing out the obvious.

"How do you feel? Bo asked.

"Better. A lot better" Lauren said.

"I am sure there's a part of you that still craves human food too". Aife said. She felt like a teacher in an all Succubus school.

"She will need clothes too and so will I". Bo said. They really didn't pack anything but she trusted that Aife would get them whatever they wanted and how they wanted it.

"I know you want anything black and leathery. I don't know her clothing preference but any and everything is available at your requests". Aife said.

"That and I have no weapons here". Bo said.

"Isabeau. Isabeau. Isabeau. Your mouth is your best weapon sweetie". Aife laughed. A Succubus needing weapons? What?

"I may be a Succubus and a witch but I'm still a Doctor too". Lauren said softly.

"Awww you miss the labs and shit huh? Ok". Aife said pulling out her cell phone.

Bo and Lauren looked at her both puzzled.

"This is your Queen. Fire whomever is your best Doctor. They must have their office cleaned out by the end of the day. There's a new Doctor in town". Aife said laughing but knew her orders would be obeyed or else. She only kept hospitals and clinics for tourist seasons.

"That wasn't necessary. I was only saying that I'm still a Doctor". Lauren laughed.

"But you will be here for awhile right? There are plenty of Succubus here for you and Isabeau to learn from. I'm the best in the business though". Aife laughed.

Bo coughed.

"Ok ok sweetie mama's sorry. You're the second best in the business". Aife laughed.

"Food mom. Food". Bo said. Lauren hadn't eaten actual food in a long time and she was starting to worry it would affect her body.

"Follow me". Aife sighed. Bo was taking all of the fun out of her day but she could always find amusement in just about everything.

They followed Aife down another long hall and Bo started to smell something cooking. Lauren did too and her mouth was watering a bit.

They watched as two guards opened two doors and Aife walked in. Their mouths dropped when they saw what was in front of them. Every food you could think of to eat was lined up on buffet tables.

"What? I told you everything is available upon request and I knew you too would be starving for more than chi so I called ahead. Plus Isabeau I've seen your fridge and even I wouldn't eat that shit". Aife laughed.

Bo ushered Lauren to a seat. The chairs were so comfortable as they were waited on hand and foot. Bo smiled as Lauren devoured any and everything that she could get her hands on. Aife was right. The clubhouse wasn't up to these types of standards and for the first time she was wondering why she chose to live like that when she could be living like this.

She thought of Trick and what she would be inheriting from his death. It's sad she was thinking of that and not of him dying but it was Lauren's decision and he had done a lot of damage not telling her who she really was. How many years had Lauren been a slave to the Fae and he said nothing? Did nothing but watch her bow when they barked out orders? That day was over and Bo wanted and needed to try and make Lauren's new life better.

Once they were done eating they returned to the throne room and began to talk. They talked about everything. How Aife became Queen. How many Succubus were actually living there and how nasty were their attitudes. Bo still didn't like it but knew Lauren needed to learn about them, what she didn't know already that is.

Lauren had sat back watching them. She was trying to keep up with what Aife was saying. The woman seemed crazy but she exuded confidence and didn't flinch about anything that she was saying. She sounded like an older wiser Bo or an older wiser Queen Isabeau. She noticed how she spoke of her mother with a mixture of love and anger. The anger had to have been from her murder that none of the Fae had to pay for. But Aife paid in the most brutal of ways. She noticed Bo's distress as her Succubus surfaced and relented as Aife spoke. All things led back to Trick and his shit.

"Dr? Dr Lewis are you listening to me? Aife asked in a deep tone.

"Sorry? What was it? Lauren asked. She had tuned her out thinking about Trick. She wished she would have punished him another way. Perhaps in front of all of the Fae.

"I was asking how you were feeling? You do have other powers that we don't". Aife laughed. She should be a bit afraid but she wasn't. She was startled though when Lauren's eyes flashed yellow and blue.

"Sorry about that. Yes I do need to learn what kind of witch I am and how I cast spells". Lauren said softly

"Grandfather is here to help you sweetie". Albert said standing behind them.

The trio of Succubus stood admiring what he held in his hand.

Lauren swallowed hard. "What...what is that? She asked.

"I had to do a lot of digging around the Dal Riata as you can tell by the dirt on my clothes. The Blood King did do something right. He had a closet with your name on it". Albert said softly with a bite of anger.

"And you found that? Lauren asked pointing at Albert's hand.

"This and loads of books". Albert said pointing to a footlocker he had brought with him.

Lauren stared back and forth between his hand and the locker. In a matter of minutes her world would change again.

"Let's get started". Albert said pulling all of the Succubus out of their thoughts.

"What does she need to do first? Bo asked.

"First we need to see if this is really hers". Albert said throwing the staff at Lauren.

They all stood back as she lifted her hand to catch it. Once she did there was an immediate glow that surrounded her. Bo was afraid she was disappear into it. It was that bright but she didn't.

"Lauren? Bo called softly.

"Like he said. Let's get started". Lauren said mischievously staring at all of them.

"You break it, you buy it". Aife laughed.
