Title: The Lost World Forth Season Series Summary: The explorers loose one of their own. Disclaimer: You know what? I actually don't own any of these characters!! Isn't that amazing? 'Cause for a moment there I thought I own them. What am I? Stupid? They belong to somebody else!!

Great Loss

"Mother! Is this what I'm supposed to do? Am I saving the Plateau or destroying it!"

The vortex continues to grow and spin above the Plateau, as streaks of lightning course toward the center, the treehouse.

"Am I the Protector!?" Veronica shrieks.

.......................................

The Druid continues to chant, and suddenly Marguerite no longer can ear him, she feels her own spirit being transported to somewhere else, a light starts to glow before her eyes and she sees a blonde-haired woman dressed in gold dress.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Abigail; I came to you to ask for your help Morrighan."

"Great here we go again." Marguerite muttered under her breath

"My daughter's power is not enough; you are the only one who can help her. "

"I don't know if you noted but I'm in the middle of nowhere and I have some crazy people trying to kill me right now."

"But you are Morrighan you have the power to control anything around you."

"You're supposed to be Veronica's mother, why don't you help her yourself?!"

"Because out of Avalon my power is very weak, I myself am going weak. Soon my daughter will have to take my place, but she's not ready, just as you are not ready to fulfil your destiny. If you help me I can help you Marguerite. I can show you how to control and use your powers."

"How.?"

"You must help Veronica, you're strong, and I know that what I'm asking is painful."

"Wait a minute, why would it be painful?"

"Why because after everything you must come to Avalon and there you shall stay until the other are ready to join you, you must leave everything behind."

"And why me? Why should I go Avalon and not Veronica herself?"

"Because you are the Chosen One, you must be protected."

"Why? I don't understand."

"Then I'll give you a choice, the first one is: you don't help Veronica, and you and your friends die victims of these plains of reality. Second one: You help Veronica, your power is unleashed, your enemies came back and you come to Avalon to be protected."

"If I choose the second will I see them again?"

"Yes when they're ready."

"Then I choose the second choice."

"Thank you."

And the image of Abigail begins to fade.

"Wait! How the Hell I'm getting out of here?!"

"You will know just use your power."

Then the light disappears and Marguerite is once again in the altar and the Druid is still chanting.

....................................

The light around the treehouse is glowing more and more at every second. "Mother help me, I don't know what to do!"

Then she collapses and the last thing she remembers is the figure of a woman dressed in a purple dress chanting.

....................................

Roxton looked around. No Conquistadors, no horses.just the jungle.

"Marguerite!" he thinks and took off in a dead run towards the last place where he saw her.

....................................

Veronica wakes up and looks around.

"Easy Veronica" She heard Challenger's voice

"Challenger? How."

"The time windows disappeared."

"And the others?"

"Finn and Roxton are in upstairs."

"And Marguerite?"

"Well."

"What is it Challenger?"

"You've been asleep for nearly a week now, and during that week we search for Marguerite everywhere and we didn't find her. Roxton is blaming himself; he says that he shouldn't have let her."

"But how could she disappear just like that?" Now she was sitting on her bed, Challenger was right besides her sitting on a chair nearby.

"We don't know." "How did you find each other?"

"Well the last thing I remember is being in some short of future and then I close my eyes and when I open them I'm in the jungle, after a few miles I found Finn and Roxton. He was worried because he couldn't find Marguerite. Like I said we search for her everywhere, she just simply.vanished."

"My god.I need to talk with Roxton."

They went upstairs and Veronica was greeted by a happy Finn:

"Vee!!"

"Finn." Veronica replies weakly and looks over to the balcony where Roxton stands.

"He's been there for hours.I really can't believe she's gone."

"Don't worry Finn we'll find her, her, Ned and Summerlee" Veronica said as she walks towards the balcony "Hey."

"Hi" Roxton said "I'm glad you're ok."

"We'll find her Roxton."

"I shouldn't have left her."

"You didn't, look I'm sure that if Marguerite was here she wouldn't like to see you this way."

"Yeah" he smiles a little "she probably would be arguing with me right now because of it."

.......................................

Roxton was in the balcony looking at the stars, everybody was asleep by now but he couldn't. He kept thinking of her. Her smile, her voice, her laugher, the softness of her kisses and then surprisingly, even for him, he started to cry until he fell asleep of exhaustion.

....................................

He was in his room but somehow he knew that this is just a dream. He looked around and saw her. Beautiful as always with her skirt and white blouse, her hair loose, falling over her shoulders, she looked an angel. She smiles at him.

"This is a dream."

"Then it is a very good dream, won't you agree" she says as she leans to a kiss. He grabs her waist and they loose inside their kiss. An eternity later they broke apart and stayed in the warmth of each others arms.

"Marguerite?"

"Hm?"

"Are you dead?"

She smiles.

"Did you ever found my body?"

"No, but."

She puts a finger in his lips.

"So I think that that answers your question."

"Then where are you I can find nowhere, I.I miss you, I miss being like this."

"I miss you to.Listen you must get trough this, you must be the pillar that supports everyone. "

"What if I can't? I can't live without you Marguerite, I love you."

"My love." she says and kisses him briefly "When the time comes you'll find me, just don't loose hope. I'll always be with you, I love too."
