Lauren was quickly assessing the amount of fae that were there. Not all of them were thinking anything. With that in mind she figured there was about sixty who were thinking things and from the look of it there was a bunch more. The seethe came to the conclusion there was at least 75 fae there. She turned her head to talk to her friends over her shoulder, "They are going for Bo." The strong fae read it in at least thirty or more so minds. With that she pushed Bo further behind her as the group started to pull the succubus in the middle. The brunette was trying to stay by her lover but she felt Lauren using her abilities to keep her in the middle of the huddle.

The Morrigan smiled at this information, "Good, let's give them to her and go home. I just had my nails done; I wouldn't want to chip one for that unaligned succubitch."

The seethe glared at the Morrigan with anger evident in her eyes. "They want Bo to weaken me Evony. I am their main target." The blonde knew she didn't have time to fight with the leader of the dark right now. As it stood she had at least 75, if not more, fae to fight.

Kenzi quickly spotted the Jikininki. "If this was my video game and they were robots I would so kick ass. Since it's not, where did Alice go? It's her specialty we would just get in the way." The hybrid tried to joke but her nerves showed in her voice. It was terrifying to her to see what truly appeared to look like a zombie. The Jikininki had old, worn, ripped looking clothes. There was barely hair left on its head. It appeared to have pieces of flesh missing or torn and even a few pieces that were hanging loosely. She looked down when it turned towards her remembering the warning of catching its gaze.

The blonde took a step away from her friends even when they tried to grab her and pull her back. "Udano, there is no need for this. Let's talk. Tell me what it is you want from me. You know you cannot beat me even with the group you put together." The seethe knew it was a long shot but she had to take the chance. Her friends were going to have an upcoming war with Odin and they would all need to be at full strength to face him. She was thankful no one had her telepathic ability because the fear that the wanderer would appear at this moment kept playing in her mind.

Udano grinned at the seethe. He was about thirty feet away from her. All the fae were awaiting his go ahead. They knew not to attack before hand as Udano had done the most research on the powerful fae. "And here I thought seethe's didn't know fear but you do. You're afraid you cannot save yourself and your friends. You had a problem with that before didn't you?" He closed his eyes as he tilted his head back smelling the air. Licking his lips he continued, "I can smell it on you, on all of you, the fear and dread is intoxicating." The tall thin fae was glad he failed his Dawning because he was pretty sure his sense of smell was better than an ordinary vampire fae's ability. He was able to smell fear and he smelt it from this group. It pleased him greatly to know that he put fear into a seethe. Udano knew why, it was her mate; she feared them taking the succubus from her. The Under Fae made it clear to attack Bo but not to kill her. If they killed her the rage they could put the seethe in could be hazardous to all of them.

Evony leaned forward towards Lauren. "I don't think he wants to negotiate." The Morrigan knew that Udano was waiting for the right moment to attack. She watched as his fae circled around them. It was hard to keep your eye on just one. Naturally she was trying to look for the dark fae that betrayed her. Shay was standing next to her and opened up her leather jacket pulling out a black stick that wasn't that long. "Is that a drum stick because I don't think they want to form a band?" The dark haired succubus ignored her leader as she threw her hand down hard. With the motion the rod opened up and was about the size of a fighting bo. Evony looked impressed, "Do you always carry that?" Shay smiled, "Never leave home without it." The dark haired succubus held her fighting stance keeping her eyes on the fae in front of her. She glanced over at Lauren waiting to see the seethe's instructions.
