Wide Awake

Evony's Thoughts

5 MONTHS AGO

Kenzi took the car as far as she could to the beginning of the woods. She was looking at the directions Mossimo had sent to her phone. It was hard to tell but she was pretty sure they were headed in the right direction. Bruce had been with her the past ten days. They were the worst ten days she ever had they never stayed in the same place longer than an hour. After all Kenzi was still being hunted by the Morrigan and almost every other fae light and dark alike. They would hide in abandon buildings while they ate and would be on the move again. If anyone was following them they would have a tough time catching up.

The tiny goth stared ahead looking at the trees that seemed to fall into each other making the woods look even darker then it was. "Of course it had to be in the woods. Nothing bad ever happens in the woods." She looked at Bruce who didn't seem concerned at all. "I take it you never saw Blair Witch?"

Bruce smiled at Kenzi, "I won't let anything happen to you Kenz, but I still think this is bad news."

"Well if you know another way to make me fae I'm all ears. Not trotting to the dark woods would definitely be a first choice. Probably going to run into the big bad wolf, I was already Hansel and Gretel with Baba Yaga." She cautiously walked around the trees as she spoke to Bruce whipping her head back and forth to every little sound.

Bruce found her to be so humorous. Here she was determined to see the druid and yet she was scared to death. "Kenzi I think you are fine how you are human and all."

It touched Kenzi that such a big strong fae would compliment her like that but she knew she had to do it. "I think I'm pretty spectacular myself but now I have to be fae-tacular. I can't help my friends as a human."

All he could do was shrug. He spent the entire time in the car trying to convince Kenzi that she was fine how she was. He decided to give up trying and just protect her instead. Bruce heard of Mossimo before he knew he was bad news. There was no way he was trusting Kenzi alone with that particular druid.

"You finally came." Mossimo came out from behind one of the trees.

Kenzi screamed and almost jumped into Bruce's arms. She turned to Mossimo, "How creepy can you be? You don't just jump out from behind a tree and start talking."

Mossimo pointed to a clearing in the woods. "You need to go lay down over there. Your friend is going to have to stay here if you want this to work."

Bruce stepped forward, "No way am I leaving Kenzi." He wasn't asking the druid he was telling him.

The druid crossed his arms he looked at Bruce while he spoke to Kenzi. "Sorry kid this isn't going to happen then. Shame you wasted my time."

This definitely was not how she was hoping this was going to go down. She turned to Bruce, "Look dude I get wanting to protect me but from here you still will be able to see me. I came here for this. It's not like he can do a virgin sacrifice that ship sailed a longgg time ago Brucey." She tapped his arm as she started walking towards the big clearing. Putting on a brave face was easy for Kenzi but she didn't like the look of the sacrificial ground at all. As she walked there she just kept telling herself that her friends needed her to be strong. That even as a human she was going to help Bo fight her mom, she fought the Garuda, she was kidnapped by the Kitsune, and through it she survived. Hell, she even escaped the Morrigan only hours ago, this was just one more thing for her to do, her last act as a human. This time in particular she needed to be fae nothing human would help her friends.

The big bodyguard stood there as he watched the small goth walk into the clearing. He expressed how much he didn't like this from the start and now watching her walk away from him it made him very uneasy. It was true he was still able to see her but he wasn't right next to her. If something was to happen he'd have to make a run for her. He looked around seeing all the ways he could make a B line to her if need be.
