Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own anything Lost Girl. I just put my own spin on the ass kicking characters the show has given us.

A/N: Yet another insane story popped into my head and you know I had to put it out there. If you haven't seen Season 4 premiere or you don't want spoilers then don't read. I promise you guys no dream/premonition thing. That was purely for just one fanfiction of mine. Oh and again I get my fae types from Greek Mythology. Some will hate this story and some will love it. Let me know either way, not sure if I should continue it or keep it as a one-shot fic. Tell me what you think!

Bo was engulfed in the darkness as it swirled around her. The fear rising up inside the succubus as she tried to think of a way out to no avail. Bo was petrified of the unknown. Where was she going? Was it to another dimension? What did this Wanderer want? What did happen was worse then what Bo was anticipating. She wasn't brought to another dimension it was as if she was in a purgatory. Trapped in a metaphorical box but in a deep slumber. Not like a Sleeping Beauty it was much darker than that. Bo learned that the man who put her there was her father, The Wanderer. The brunette wasn't sure what he wanted as he didn't express it. Instead he told her he wanted her to see who she truly was. What she was truly capable of. And every day like a DVD put on repeat the same horrible things played out in the succubus's mind. There was no way to stop it, no pause button, and no way to end this hell. Bo couldn't help but wonder if this kept up what would happen to her mental state.

The Wanderer let her see the power she truly possessed. The strength, the abilities that she barely had begun to scratch, and the power. How all the fae would fall to their knees in front of their Queen. She saw herself sucking the chi out of all the fae in the room when the Lich was there but she couldn't see why she did it. The time after she had just beat the Garuda and the power that flowed through her. How she was in a room with people wearing red robes as the strength coursed through every muscle. After her Dawning the force of energy pulsating through her veins bringing the dead to life. For the life of her she couldn't remember who was with her in any of these visions. No recollection of anything other than the powerfulness she possessed. The only other things that went through her mind in this unconscious state was the things she has yet to do.

In the beginning Bo tried to fight against the feeling of the darkness over taking her. But as time went on, it became embedded in her brain, and as the days turned into weeks Bo no longer fought. She rested and let it play in her mind. She let the feeling of complete and utter destruction that she was capable of circulate throughout her entire being.

364 DAYS LATER

Tamsin rolled her eyes at the tiny goth as she pointed to another ring in the display case. She put her hands on her hips in frustration. "Dude you need to pick a ring. One ring to rule them all Frodo," Kenzi tried again showing another one.

"Relax there Gandulf the one ring will be found," The Valkyrie walked past a bunch of different kinds. The problem was she didn't want something because it was expensive and fancy. She wanted something that screamed it was the precise ring for her girlfriend. Tamsin knew it wouldn't be a complex ring. She heard Kenzi calling after her again and almost didn't want to head back over to her. The dark fae knew if a ring caught Kenzi's eye it was going to be huge with so many diamonds on the sides you couldn't even see the band. That's when she saw it. The absolute perfect ring for her girlfriend. It was platinum, princess-cut, with two smaller princess-cut diamonds on each side. It was simple, gorgeous and elegant just like the person who caught her heart. The center diamond was 3 carats not too big but not exactly small. "Kenz, I found it," Tamsin couldn't take her eyes off of the ring in front of her.

"Crap balls about time. Sauron was just about to reclaim the land. No one wants to deal with Ocres," Kenzi whined as she headed towards the Valkyrie. She grabbed onto Tamsin's arm as she bent forward knowing exactly the ring the dark fae was referring to before she pointed it out. "That is like The Notebook without the separation kind of perfect." Kenzi got wide eyed as she peered down at the ring in front of them.

After Tamsin purchased the ring the two got in her truck as they headed over to the Valkyrie's girlfriend's place. "Faemazing you can get that ring but not a new car this is on its last oil change Tam." Kenzi had no problems with older cars actually she preferred them. It's just the Valkyrie's truck was banged the hell up from an accident she had almost a year ago. Somehow the truck survived with some body work done to it. It now had the appearance of a truck that was almost crushed but squeezed its way through.

The Valkyrie glanced over at the human next to her, "It aint happening let go of the truck." She heard this speech a million times in a year. The Valkyrie was attached to the truck. Someday in the near future she would get a new one but today wasn't the day. Especially after what she spent on the ring. She patted her jacket packet feeling the box in there. "Does D know you are still with me? No one likes hearing a wolf howl."

Kenzi cringed a little as Tamsin yet again rolled her eyes. "What blame it on faemnsia. It's not easy being Andy Sacks to your Miranda Priestly, Devil Wears Prada style." Seeing that Tamsin wasn't entertained she pulled out her cell dialing Dyson. "I wurve you." Kenzi said as soon as the wolf picked up the phone.

Dyson grinned at the other end of the phone. He knew from the second he heard her voice that she was up to something. "I love you too Kenz. As nice as it is to hear why am I sensing that is not why you called?" He leaned back in his desk chair preparing himself to hear what the two investigators might have done now. Even Hale appeared concerned hearing what Dyson said. He swore these two girls were going to give him acid reflux soon.

"Tonight is the night babe. Tamsin is finally popping the question after what seems like almost four years of the most complicated relationship ever. Seriously they made Kim & Kris's marriage seem real," Kenzi didn't even face the Valkyrie. She could feel the glare Tamsin was throwing her way. But it was true in the past four years the two have broken up and gotten back together so many times that no one even listened anymore. It was a triangle that felt like it would never end but somehow it did. Two years ago Tamsin put an end to the triangle choosing her future wife. There was complications at first but this past year things went smoothly it was a nice change for all of them.

The shifter smiled which made Hale instantly relax. "Tell her we are all excited for her and a pre congratulations." He saw Hale's questioning look. Dyson placed his one hand over the speaker part of the phone as he swung it back slightly. "Tamsin is proposing tonight. Kenzi is helping throw the romance into it," he spoke low when he told the siren. His girlfriend didn't tell him yet that she was assisting in the setup but he knew she would be. There was no way the Valkyrie would be able to pull off anything romantic. It wasn't in her bones but she attempted it so many times for the woman who trapped the Valkyrie's heart.

"I will and we are throwing a party tomorrow night. Going to be EPIC. You and Hale can start picking things up I will send you a text," she was thrilled to have a reason to celebrate. It felt like it had been ages since they all kicked back. Kenzi and Tamsin were investigator partners since Tamsin helped save her ass four years ago. A peace project between the new Ash Holden and the Morrigan Evony got Dyson and Hale close to the Valkyrie. They helped many times with the police cases. The all became a very close nit group that included Tamsin's soon to be fiancé.

Dyson had his elbows on his desk as his girlfriend barked orders at him. "Kenzi you know I am a detective right? I can't just go picking up party favors I have cases to do."

"If you want me to do then you will. Bye bye then," she hung up the phone knowing she already won that conversation.

Tamsin curled her lip. "I so didn't need to hear that part. I feel like my ears are bleeding." The Valkyrie put her hand up to ear and pulled it back down checking for the blood. It was an exaggerative move but she couldn't help herself. The dark fae started laughing at her friend's facial expression.

Kenzi motioned her hand up and down her body. "You couldn't handle all this. Shorter the life span the deeper the quick sand." The goth jokes were natural between them. They had a different sense of humor that was for sure but somehow despite the odds they became like sisters. Of course for Kenzi didn't hurt that they had the same love of liquor. In the past year she was the one who drank more since Tamsin's relationship got more serious. Kenzi's and Dyson's was too of course but the human was pretty positive nothing in the world could get her to drink less.

The Valkyrie pulled into a spot in front of her girlfriend's place. Before she got out of the car she stared down at the large duffel bag her friend brought with her before they started the ring shopping. "You want me to stuff you in that," she nodded towards the bag.

The goth flipped her the bird. "Since I am all kinds of awesome I brought everything you need to not be you and make this I don't know, romantic," she retorted as she lugged the bag over her shoulder stumbling a little as she did.

Tamsin glared over at her, "Hey awesome you alright over there or is that thing going to pin you to the sidewalk. I will take a picture and send it to Dyson. Caption, looks like you're not the only thing Kenzi gets under."

"Dickface, Queen of the douchebags," Kenzi pushed past her still struggling with the bag but managing. The goth waited while Tamsin opened the door. "Least she never had to have an extra key made." She watched as the dark fae opened the locked apartment. This no longer impressed Kenzi but she still felt the need to comment on it.

They both went inside as Tamsin went to the fridge. She pulled out a beer for herself trying to make it seem like she just wanted one. Truth was in her many lifetimes she never did this but after this long it felt inevitable. The thought of it made her nervous. She didn't think her girlfriend would say no but never say never. It made her stomach turn. Tamsin got out tequila for the tiny human as she was ruffling through the bag. She didn't bother with a glass going over to her tapping her arm with the bottle. "Remember keep it simple." The Valkyrie knew the goth had a flare for over the top.

"I know thanks Groundhogs Day, repeat yourself a bit much." Kenzi looked up at her seeing it for the first time. "Shit balls you are nervous. Second thoughts," she never saw the Valkyrie nervous. This was new for her and she didn't have a quick wisecrack for once.

Tamsin didn't like to even appear weak. Actually she'd rather get hit by a throwing dagger then appear fragile. But that was how she did feel. Like fine crystal that you had to handle a certain way so you wouldn't crush it in your bare hands. She shifted uncomfortably at the way the conversation was going. "Shit," was all she could mumble as she pressed the bottle to her lips. "She'll say yes, right?"

"Um yeah where have you been the past four years? If Dyson gazed at me the way she does at you I would have had a litter already," Kenzi was positive that Tamsin's girl would say yes. "You got this. We have faced fifty kinds of evil this is cake." Making sure to give a little more confidence she added, "Tamsin you changed for her. You became the woman she needed you to be. You won her heart a long time ago you just finally deserve it," she couldn't help the last part. Kenzi had to break the tension.

It worked as the smile appeared on the dark fae's lips. "Let's get this shit show on the road then shall we." She placed the beer on the counter and started helping her best friend out.

Lauren glimpsed up at the clock in the hospital. Being an ER doctor was not without its obstacles. Besides having to be ready at a moment's notice there was the lack of sleep and eating. And the horrific hours. Dr. Lewis could spend almost 80 hours or more in the hospital but she was one of the best they had. She also had a pure talent for medicine since she was fae. She wasn't born fae but a lunatic scientist that was trying to kill them tried to kill her with the fae DNA. It didn't just like it didn't kill him when she was forced to make him fae. Now she was an Aceso having the ability to heal wounds and illnesses.

Dr. Lewis learned of the fae when her sister fell ill by one of their diseases that somehow infected Nadia. The Ash at the time offered his help in return for hers. Not wanting to be a slave to anyone the doctor said she would help and keep their secret but it would be on her terms. She knew she had to have some importance if the leader of the Light wanted her. Once she learned all the things she told him it was that or she could pledge herself to the Morrigan. He accepted the terms and kept a close eye on her from that second on. Her sister died fighting the Garuda but Lauren stayed helping the fae and the species she used to be, humans. The blonde loved working in the ER it reminded her of why she studied medicine.

It was nearing 10pm and her intern was lingering by her. "Dr. Wyatt I am going to be leaving. Keep track of all the patients post op. Remember to mark the charts keeping track of vitals, watching sutures, infections, and spikes in temps. Get more CBC's for anyone getting surgery tomorrow. A-Z checklists." She rubbed her forehead trying to think if there was anything else she wanted to remind him. Right now her mind was elsewhere. For the fifth time today she completely hallucinated a person of her pure imagination. A brunette, beautiful brown eyes, curvy, sexy, and the tightest outfits she has ever seen. It felt oddly familiar but Lauren knew that was a face she could never forget. Right before Dr. Wyatt came over she saw the hallucination again. It seemed the later it got the more frequent she was seeing this strange woman.

With that on her mind she needed a lot of sleep before she performed surgeries tomorrow. After all she was a General Surgeon and had to rush into the ER sporadically throughout the day. If she was seeing things it was a clear indication of sleep deprivation. She went over some charts with her intern before heading out to her car. The Acura MDX roared to life as she went home ready to kick back and relax.

Opening her front door the first thing she noticed was all the lights were shut off. It didn't set off any alarms of concern since she saw a trail of votive candles on the floor. They went from the front door to up the stairs as she could see from where she was. Lauren bent down seeing the note, all it said was follow the trail. She smiled knowing there was no way Tamsin did this on her own, Kenzi had to help but still it was romantic. She placed her keys down on the small hutch by the front door as she walked past the candles following them to her bedroom door which was shut. Lauren pushed it open where the candles formed a circle in the middle of her bedroom and something was in the middle that she couldn't make out through the flickering of the flames. Getting closer she brought her hands up to her mouth as the words were knocked out of her mouth. It was clear as day seeing the open box and ring in the center of the circle. Tamsin came out from behind the door falling to her knee next to the other blonde. "Lauren Lewis, you have done the impossible and not only captured my heart but completely stole it as it belongs to you. My heart has been in your hands for a long time now. A life without you is no life at all and something I never want to find out. Will you do me the honor of being my wife, my other half, completing me and making me whole?"

The tears continuously rolled down Lauren's face. They were happy tears but it didn't stop them from flowing. "Yes, yes, yes," Lauren wrapped her arms around Tamsin's neck as the Valkyrie stood up. She kissed Tamsin gently as her mind was clouded at the moment from her romantic proposal. Lauren could still remember the first day she met the dark fae and her human sidekick. At the time Lauren was human as well. They came barging out of a storage area Tamsin holding onto her neck as the blood was pouring out. Lauren was on her way home from work and a surgeon is always prepared. She didn't even park as she jumped out of her car leaving it running as she took her medical bag to the Valkyrie. It was a good thing because if she wasn't there at that moment the dark fae would have died. From then on they had quite the history. Back then Tamsin was dating, Nickoli, a dark fae. It was the beginning of one hell of a triangle. Two years ago they gave it a chance but the way the Valkyrie always glanced at Nickoli made Lauren uneasy. The doctor decided to end it. Realizing only after she lost Lauren how much the doctor meant is when Tamsin knew it was Lauren her heart belonged too.

It made Lauren take a job further away with Dr. Isaac Taft. Shortly after Lauren found out he wasn't who he claimed to be while Tamsin was on the hunt looking for her lover. The doctor performed a procedure on him that he forced her to do. When he woke up and found out about Lauren's friends coming to her rescue he tried to kill her hoping his botched job of the injection would be enough but it wasn't. Lauren was conscious when Tamsin got there she watched fading in and out as the Valkyrie killed the scientist. Then she had to direct the dark fae on what to do to help save her life. Her instructions kept her alive and made her fae. The Valkyrie was only too thrilled letting her know now she will never have to worry about what it would be like to lose her. Since then the two actually had smooth sailing.

AFTER MIDNIGHT – 1 YEAR SINCE BO VANISHED

Lauren slept pretty well after the night she had with her fiancé. Until it hit midnight like a Cinderella story. Once the clock struck twelve the dreams started.

"It's time."

"It's time," Lauren repeated the words filled with hope.

"Us."

"Really," Lauren's words were filled with shock and sadness.

"I want to give this a real shot. To be together. Life is too short."

Lauren turned onto her side still sleeping but the dreams were affecting her.

"Let's say hypothetically that one party thought the connection was real then found out that the other party was just manipulating them into bed to impress their controlling asshead of a boss."

"Bo, do you really think we weren't headed that way on our own anyway?"

"I think you ruined any chance of us finding out. And I think that's real shitty." The hurt was clear on the succubus's face in front of her.

The doctor turned onto her back still not waking but flinching at the words in her sleep. Her subconscious was playing out significant parts of the blonde's life.

"And when this is over, babe, I think you and I should get away, maybe some place with sand. Ever been to Egypt?"

Lauren is still on her back as her forehead wrinkles. She is still sleeping but not as deeply as she previously was.

"I'm not happy Bo but you are…you are," her voice dripped with pain and sadness

"Yeah. Yeah I am. After the Dawning, I feel new, Lauren. I want to be happy. I want to live, I want to travel the world, but I only want to that with you." Her eyes pleading with Lauren.

"I'm just – I am so tired Bo. These last few years with the Fae…the Garuda…Nadia. I feel like I'm losing myself." It cuts like a knife saying the words to the brunette in front of her.

"I don't want you to feel that way. I want you to feel amazing! I want you to feel the way that I feel whenever I'm with you. You just tell me what you need, babe, I promise I will do anything." The tears were in her eyes as she was begging Lauren not to do what she knew was coming.

"I think we need a break," it was a lie but she felt second best and needed to not feel so low to her girlfriend's scale of importance.

"From us," Bo was taken aback like it couldn't be that.

"I am so sorry Bo, but I always think that I am going to be asking of you more than you can give to me," Lauren tearfully explained.

Lauren shot up in her bed completely awake. "Bo," she breathes out.

BO

The succubus opens her very blue eyes as she finally wakes up. Memories come flooding back to her as she drops onto the streets of Toronto. She isn't the same person that left a year ago. She knows things about herself now. Things she can never forget as she has had a full year to learn them. And in an instant all the things that were wiped clean from her memory came flooding back in at an overwhelming speed. Kenzi, Hale, Trick, Dyson, Tamsin and Lauren, her Lauren. The words and I loved you were ringing through her head. Bo dragged herself up off the pavement dusting off the clothes she wore a year ago when she was taken. She started to make her way to the Dal.

LAUREN & TAMSIN

The sudden movement in the bed woke the Valkyrie with a start. When Lauren's memories returned it triggered Bo's. Once the succubus was awoken it had a domino effect. As soon as the Valkyrie woke up in the bed she remembered the real truth of the past year not the altered one she was made to remember. The problem was her feelings for Lauren from the past year didn't go away with the real memory. She glanced down at the ring that was on Lauren's finger before meeting her eyes. "Shit," she blurted out for the second time that day.

The Aceso wasn't moving not even a muscle in her face. She was staring off to nowhere thinking like she always did. Lauren was trying to wrap her mind around what triggered her to remember. Was it the timing, the engagement, at this point she really had no idea why she suddenly remembered the succubus. With the memories also came the reminder of the heartache, pain, and betrayal.

On cue Tamsin's cell phone rang. She reached over for it seeing Kenzi's number. "I know," Tamsin said into the phone.

"This is bad. Beyond bad. This is Twilight Zone type of shit. I have been banging the wolf and you have been banging the doc. It's like Dude Where Is My Car bad. And she is going to chi suck the life out of us which mine is very short by comparison to you all." Kenzi was pacing on the floor as Dyson was leaning over the bed processing the past year. "Lauren is all Big Bang Theory kinds of smart what the hell is she saying? Let's not forget to add the icing on this ten tier cake that we built by noting we have no idea where Bo is."

Tamsin glanced over at Lauren who was sitting in the same position as when the Valkyrie first woke up. And she still had the deer in headlights look on. "Nothing that Sheldon would be saying," Tamsin also remembered all the shows the tiny human had her watching in their down time. "I am going to deal with her. I will call back," Tamsin put her phone down as she placed her hand over Lauren's. Sentimental was not her thing but this past year and the fake memories changed her a bit. "I am going to fight for you."

Lauren broke out of her daze as she acknowledged the dark fae next to her. "Good," and with that she leaned over placing a kiss on the Valkyrie's soft lips.
