Wide Awake

Confrontations

Lauren was on her way to the Morrigan's compound. Once she hung up with Bo she had to talk to Evony and see if she knew about this prophecy. The seethe knew that Bo was never one to believe in or follow prophecies. That was one thing the succubus showed over and over again was that she would never do what she was told. As she headed to the Dark Fae leaders compound the conversation was playing back in her head.

Bo was silent for a few minutes but Lauren read her thoughts which immediately went to, oh shit what did I do. Lauren spoke again, "Bo, what prophecy?"

"Yeah, well, um, here is the thing Trick found it out after you left the Dal with Shay." She paused and waited to see if her ex would comment hearing silence on the other end she continued, "Everyone thought that I was the one, the chosen one that the prophecy was talking about. Being unaligned and powerful everyone assumed it would be me to bring an end to the fighting between Light and Dark."

Lauren read her thoughts as she was speaking, "Our child? The prophecy was speaking of our child? When I am at full strength combined with how strong you are our child would be the combination of our powers. Our child would be unstoppable."

"Yes, well, least that's what some old dusty book says. Who listens to those?" Bo tried to make light of it hoping Lauren wouldn't think that is why she was trying to get her back. "I don't know if Evony would listen to it?"

"Looks like I need to have a little conversation with her." To reassure Bo she continued, "Bo I don't think you would try to get me back for a prophecy. The odds of me having that connection is slim, however if we did the prophecy is right about one thing, our child would be extraordinarily powerful."

The brunette couldn't help but grin on the other line of the phone. For a split second she just pictured a little bolo baby. "Be careful talking to the Morrigan, I know you are powerful Lauren but she is sneaky. I know she saved your life and I'm thankful for that but I still don't trust her."

Lauren read Bo's thoughts she saw the image of their child through her former lovers eyes. She didn't want the succubus to get her hopes up of something that may never come to pass. One thing she was absolutely positive of was that Bo wasn't trying to get her back for that reason. "Bo, I never said I trust Evony. I do have to talk to her." Before she was about to hang up, "Thank you for telling me, I will call you after I talk to her."

The anger was building up inside her again. She didn't like Evony calling the Ash and making arrangements on her behalf without even discussing them with the seethe. After talking to Bo she couldn't help but wonder if maybe the Dark Fae leader did know about the prophecy as well and was going a little extra out of her way to make sure it didn't come to pass. Either way she was not happy about the whole situation. She parked her bike and started towards the newly fixed compound.

MORRIGAN'S COMPOUND

Evony was sitting behind her new desk. It was all black just how she liked it, with barely anything on it accept a phone and an all-in-one Mac computer. She had on a skin tight black dress that stopped about 5 inches short of her knees with black heels. There was two dark fae sitting across from her. The chair was knocked over as Evony flew out of it hitting the wall behind her so hard she felt the drywall crack beneath her. She put her hands up to her neck as she felt her throat being squeezed but was grasping at nothing. There were no hands to pull off and realization hit her immediately as she looked in her doorway and saw the seethe with blazing green eyes.

Lauren looked at the dark fae, "GET OUT!" Without even trying to help their boss they got up and with extreme caution practically tip toed past the enraged seethe. Evony felt her neck being squeezed a little tighter. Fear took over the Dark Fae as she looked at Lauren with pleading eyes. The blonde didn't seem to care as her eyes remained fixed with rage. She stepped into the office walking towards the Morrigan. She was so close to her now Evony could feel Lauren's breath on her face as she talked, "I could kill you right here right now. So many ways from a fae like me, you could implode, I can pick up any object in this room and bludgeon you to death without ever touching it, or I can continue to watch you struggle for air. Show the same kind of mercy you would." Lauren released her hold on the Morrigan as she fell to the ground on her side in the fetal position. She rolled onto her back coughing and gasping for air feeling like it wouldn't fill her lungs fast enough.
