The Doctor coughed. She nearly choked on the bile that had risen in her throat. She jumped into Hale's limousine and let go of her latest breath. Released like it had been burning her throat for days. She grabbed a bottle of wine and slammed it. She was not tipsy after making it home. She had recently discovered a way to drink and not be intoxicated. She climbed the stairs and kicked the door open. Taking another breath, she looked around downstairs before running upstairs and to her closet.

After pulling her suitcases down, she threw her medical USBs and laptop into a bag and returned to the first floor. She wanted to cry. But hell, if she would give her tears to anyone else again. She had her chance to do this before, but she stayed. She stayed around to be mocked and ridiculed for a Succubus. A woman she thought she loved and a woman that she thought loved her. She was wrong. It was always evident. Evident that she should never fall in love with her patients. It was practically the calling card of all Doctors. Treat them and go home. But she had done it and now she was done.

She kept the same bags packed that she had when she was ready to run after Lachlan was murdered. She should have left then. She would not have been humiliated. She should have stayed home, where humans in the Fae world belong. But no. After exhausting herself, she put her pen down, slipped on her boots and headed to the Dal. To be there for Bo.

She snorted at the thought. Be there for Bo. Like Bo had been there for her awards ceremony. Like Bo had been there for her even after her last 27th text. The Doctor had been slaving in her loft trying to prevent Bo's cells from breaking down further. Stupid Doctor. She thought silently. It was all a game. A game she bet Nadia on and lost. That hurt the most. She trusted Bo with the truth and her heart and in two scenes, she broke both of them.

She killed Nadia. Put her blade right in her. She killed Lauren. Put her blade right in the Doctor's heart. She looked at the seats they were sitting on when Bo swore sleeping with Dyson lacked feelings. She kicked them over like Bo had just kicked her over at the Dal. She thought Bo was going to do Dyson right in front of her. In front of everyone.

To make matters worse, Kenzi and Trick smiled. The Fae-Fae romance they both craved was right in front of them. The human Doctor was no longer in the room. That is when she was able to stand up with what dignity she had left and left out the back door. Luckily for her the Siren did not attend the event and bought her excuse of needing to get home as soon as possible. It was not really an excuse. Bo was no longer paying attention to her. Dyson was back and well cuddled up in Bo's sight and arms.

She spit on the floor and threw her straps over her shoulders. She rolled her eyes when she felt her necklace. She turned and threw it across the floor. Reminiscent of Bo throwing it near her feet.

If she was being real right now, that was the Succubus throwing her servitude to her people in her face. That was no different than Dyson telling her she was a human that worked for his side, and who was by his side now? Her girlfriend. Her girl foe she thought. She peeked out the door and quickly walked to a secret exit. Her guards had been lazy one night and exposed it to her. The soft breeze felt wonderful. This is it. She was about to run and never be found.

The Dal

Glasses clinking together and music filled the bar. Kenzi was eating a burger and fries with Bo next to her looking at Dyson.

"I did it. I brought you back". Bo smiled.

"You did. I guess we are even on saving each other's lives now". Dyson bowed.

"We are. I am just glad it worked. I did not want you to die Dyson and you should not have risked your life like that. I would have found another way and I did". Bo said softly as she lifted her glass.

"Dawning's can be dangerous and confusing". Dyson shrugged.

"Well you do look nice in scrubs, Dr. Thornwood". Bo teased.

"Huh? Kenzi asked.

"Nothing Kenz". Bo gently poked her.

"Spill". Kenzi prodded.

"Another beer? Bo offered.

"Ok but I want deets later". Kenzi held her empty glass for Trick.

"Bo Dennis? A man's voice called behind them.

"Who wants to know? Bo spun around.

"It's okay Bo. He's one of Hale's men". Dyson spoke softly.

"I was told to give this to you". The man handed her a folder.

Bo cringed and looked at it. It felt huge. But she was curious to know what it was. She opened it and called for a DVD player.

"A movie? Popcorn now Trick". Kenzi smiled.

Since you could not make it. A note read. She turned to the big TV mounted on the wall, and a lump caught in her throat. Lauren was giving her acceptance speech. She didn't mention Bo at all. Why should she? Bo wasn't a part of this part of Lauren's world. She had no time to be. Lauren looked absolutely beautiful. Bo's mouth watered at the dress she was wearing.

Once the Doctor was done, she bowed and walked over to her table. A brown-haired man stood and kissed her on the cheek. Lauren mouthed thank you and took her seat. The gang watched as the ceremony was over and the tables and chairs were taken away. The music started and the next thing Bo saw was Lauren dancing with the man.

"Lauren? The Succubus bristled with a hint of anger and a ton of jealousy. She spun around and looked for the woman. She called her name and was given silence as an answer.

"Where did she go? Bo seethed as she stood.

"She was right…there". Kenzi gasped.

"The Doctor left a while ago". Vex spoke from behind the bar.

"Why? Why would she leave on the most important day of my life? Bo asked.

"Perhaps because you weren't there for hers. Perhaps because you nearly did the dog over there hours ago". Vex pointed.

"Vex, I will kill you". Bo snapped.

"I will if she doesn't". Dyson growled.

"Bo think". Kenzi put her beer down.

"I am thinking! Lauren was here and now she is gone! Bo screamed.

"Vex is right. You nearly laid on top of Dyson in front of her. You used her chi to bring him back. You didn't go to her awards banquet, so she left". Trick stepped forward.

"I tried. I tried to make it, but Lauren was already gone when I got there". Bo defended herself.

"And you still didn't go". Vex laughed. A succubus getting riled up over a human. What would Aife think about this? He laughed internally.

"He's got a point. You didn't have to stay back with Tamsin drinking Lauren's champagne". Kenzi shrugged.

"Did you do her on Lauren's couch? Vex perked up.

"Nice Kenz". Bo took her beer away.

"What? I am not drunk. We're all being real here". Kenzi grabbed it back.

"Find out who the man she was dancing with is". Bo turned to Dyson and back towards the doors.

"And do what with him? Dyson asked.

"He needs to die". Bo spoke softly over her shoulder.

"I've got to see this". Vex laughed as he followed her.

Bo jumped in her car and sped off. She could hear Kenzi screaming to wait behind her. But loose lips sink ships and Kenzi had been drinking. She would tell about the kiss and Lauren would be even more upset. Probably leave Bo. Which is why she did not tell her. After escaping sleeping with Dyson, this would be the last nail in their relationship. If they still have a relationship.

She seethed at the Doctor dancing with a man. Lauren does not even like men like that. Her dress nearly slipped off of her shoulder when he dipped her.

She pulled up to the building and jumped out with her car still running. She could hear Vex's RV behind her, but she did not care. She needed to get to Lauren and now. That video she sent was cruel even for Lauren. She shook her head and nearly kicked the main doors in. She ran up the stairs and to Lauren's door. It was open. That was nothing new. She nearly fell to the floor. In the middle of the room rested Lauren's necklace. She never takes that thing off.

"Lauren? Where are you? Bo yelled up the stairs.

"Lauren we need to talk". Bo stomped up the stairs and rounded the corner into the Doctor's bedroom. The sheets had been yanked from the bed. She looked around the room and inside the closet. Only a few clothes hung there.

"What the fuck?! Bo screamed.

Bo pulled her phone out and immediately called the Ash. "Hale tell me you sent Lauren out on an assignment". She spat.

"Damn it, I didn't! Hale screamed.

"This is not like her Hale. She would not leave. Not like this". Bo gritted her teeth.

"I don't know where she is Bo. But I will for damn sure find out who took her. She can't go anywhere without an armed escort". Hale hung up. Lauren was better than this. If she would spend five years with Nadia under the Ash command, she would not bail on him like this and without notice.

Bo sank to the floor with the necklace. She cried as she gripped it in her hand. If Lauren was gone, Bo would be left. Left alone with the one person she hates and fears the most, her Succubus. Lauren could keep her under control. She listens to Lauren. Without her, the world would die. The brunette does not want to be a killer again.

She sat there waiting and hoping all night that Lauren would change her mind and come back. Leaving Bo with a video and that note was identical to Bo throwing the same necklace back in her face. She bent her head down and cried.

She jumped when her phone rang. She sighed when she noticed it was not Lauren. "Dyson. I hope you have news". Bo put her hand over her face. She had obviously been asleep all night as the sun was now creeping through Lauren's window.

"His name was Isaac Taft. A Doctor. A well respected one". Dyson replied.

"What was he doing with Lauren? Bo asked.

"It's not what you think Bo. He had recently found out about Lauren. It looks like he had her address and was planning to visit soon". Dyson turned his notes over to make sure he was telling Bo the right thing.

"Then why? Why would she leave? Like this? Bo cried.

"The kiss Bo". Dyson turned his attention back to the conversation.

"She doesn't know about Tamsin". Bo rolled her eyes.

"I meant ours in the Dawning. She is a Doctor. She probably smelled my scent on you". Dyson licked his lips thinking about it.

"Awww fuck! Bo screamed. She stood and wanted to kick something. Anything. But everything was Lauren's. She paced back and forth trying to plot her next move. Her next plan. Nothing was coming to mind. She is going to have to be smarter than she has ever been before. She closed her eyes. She did not want that kind of help. Not that blue-eyed monster. No. Fuck no. Hell to the Fae no.

Lauren was gone. Left. Nothing but that video as her last words to Bo. But what was she saying? If you do not want me someone else will? The way that man looked at her, blinded Bo. Even on video. She gritted her teeth again.

If Lauren wanted to run, all she had to do was ask Bo to go and she would have left too. But according to everything Bo saw yesterday. Lauren felt Bo had already left her. She closed her eyes. This relationship thing is harder than she thought. She must be honest about everything. She thought of hovering over Dyson after bringing him back. It flamed her Succubus a little thinking of Lauren hovering over Nadia like that. The only difference is Nadia was dying at the time. Bo did not bring her back, although thinking about it now, she could've. She did not even see the Garuda emerge from Nadia's body like he did Trick's.

She shook her head. She had screwed up then like she screwed up now. She just wanted to get through her Dawning and then she would talk to Lauren. Be with Lauren. They would move on to better days in their relationship because right now is shit on a stick.

She pocketed the necklace and stood up. She walked downstairs and looked around for clues she might have overlooked last night. There was nothing. Nothing had been disturbed. Nothing was jumping out at her.

Lauren was pissed off. So pissed off the well-mannered Doctor had left the Dal without a sound. Left Bo without a goodbye. But when she thought of that video, that was a fuck you if she ever saw one.

She shook her head and left. There was no need for her to be there. It was morning and she was mourning her relationship. She shamelessly wondered if the Doctor was doing the same thing. But Lauren is so professional at all times that she could apply that to her personal life as well.

Her car was still running. No Fae would dare touch it. Vex probably found something else to do because thankfully he was nowhere to be found.

She jumped in and headed home. To her bed. She could cry there. She could die there.

She wanted to call Lauren a coward. But that would be like a kettle calling the pot black. She had been a coward. She did not tell her about Tamsin. She was never going to tell her about Dyson. She had fucked up. She let him kiss her. The one person Lauren said no to. He kissed her, and she allowed it.

She finally arrived home and found Kenzi passed out on the couch. It was just as well. She would have millions of questions and Bo does not even have a thousand answers.

She showered and cried under the water. She climbed into bed to try and get a few hours of decent sleep. It was useless. That video played over and over in her head. Just like every moment she had with the Doctor. They had been on and off in their relationship. Bo had been snippy with the blonde. All being stressed over Kenzi missing and then that damn Dawning. Bullshit. A powerful Succubus like Bo degrading? She shook her head in embarrassment.

She shook it again to keep her from surfacing. She usually did when Bo had bitten off more than she could chew. This was new territory for her. She did not know how to fight for a relationship when she was still in one. Hell, when she told Lauren about Dyson, she thought for sure Lauren was going to break up with her. That is why she hurried with her bleeding internally explanation. That did not lesson the blow, but the Doctor in Lauren would understand. Bo had to go with that as her first defense. Then the Doctor kissed her. She kissed her in the hurt.

Now she basically told Bo to kiss her ass in her own way. She showered and left. Kenzi was still passed out. She probably drank a lot more than beer after Bo had left the bar.

It was just as well. Kenzi would want to tag along. Be snarky or flat out hate Lauren again. But there is nothing to hate about Lauren. There is everything to hate about Bo. She just cannot be monogamous. Even after draining the Lich. She uses sex as a crutch for a disability she does not have.

She exhaled when the morning air hit her lungs. She pulled her sunglasses on and jumped in her car. It was as if the sun was mocking her. It was so bright out. She had not driven a mile before she started to cry again. This is what those ten years on the run were like. She did not belong anywhere. Did not have a single friend in town. None that she could trust with and around Lauren. Around Lauren. That sounded like she wanted to keep things from her on purpose. To only bring her around her friends when she could not be busted or shamed with something.

She should not have to put on airs for her friends. They should respect her relationship. But did she respect her relationship? Twenty-seven texts and not once did she drop in on Lauren to actually check on her well-being. She pulled over. She was not going to be able to see until the thick tears had stopped.

She knew what was about to happen and she honestly did not have the strength to stop it. She felt a cold sensation come over her. It had cracked. Her heart was broken. Then it happened.

Her eyes turned blue and she shook them back to brown. She was not hungry. There is no need for her Succubus to surface. She looked in her rear-view mirror and jumped at the sight. Her tears looked like blue water rolling down her face. Then her eyes flashed blue again, and she shook at the force.

"No. I fucked up. I have to fix it". Bo shook her brown eyes back to the surface but was overpowered again.

"She left us both. I will fix this".

"No, you'll frighten her". Bo cried.

"You should be more frightened of me. Bo".

"Let me fix this. Let me find Lauren". Bo spoke softly. A hint of anger, and she would lose control.

"Know this Bo. If you do not fix this. I will take over. Trust me, Lauren won't know the difference".

Bo shook when the voice stopped, and her eyes returned to a solid brown. She was not sure what the Succubus would do to her. But she is not going to get her hands on Lauren, even if they are the same hands as hers.

A/N To those worried about me having so many fics at once, some are close to the end.
