Isobel's POV

The last two weeks had been hard on all of them. Booth had been shot, and they all had been lied to. Last night gormagon had contacted me I was to give a package to Dr. Brennan. He had stripped the man of all he had wanted and now it was time to put this piece into place. As they examined the jawbone I set a rig for an explosion that would disable hodgins and Zack so my father could remove the skeleton

Something went wrong when the rig went off. I was there. The resulting blast threw hodgins clear but burning debris fell on Zack, burning his arms and chest badly. I had made an error, but this would work in our favor

They attributed my numbness to shock and let me alone. I ended up falling asleep with Zack's hand in mine.

hedging walked in with Angela. "They really do love each other, don't they." she said. Hodgins shook Isobel awake "Kid, go home, we won't let any thing happen to him." she gently whispered in his ear, "love you, Zack" and walked out.

Zack tossed in his sleep. "Isobel!" he whimpered. Angela hushed him and pulled his blankets up. Zack had told her that the drugs gave him bad dreams but that was what they were there for, to help Zack be ok. They were a family and loved each other, no matter what.

Zack's POV

Isobel never came back. we found out about her betrayal a week later, in a video she sent to the lab, she betrayed us, but betrayed the Master as well, telling booth where to find him and the truth her father and gormagon were one and the same. She begged Angela and Hodgins to watch over me, because she didn't know if he would come after me or not. The video cut out, but not before one more haunting, devastating image was shown: Isobel, dead, in a pool of blood. Angela screamed and Hodgins grabbed and held her tight. Dr Syoran looked stricken. Dr. Brennan closed her eyes and shook her head. Booth sighed "Jesus" he muttered.

I left the lab and walked back to my apartment. I found a letter on the bed we shared.

Dear Zack

I did this because I could not lose you. I could not let you fall into what my father did. He left my mother and me by choice. I did this so you would not have to make the same choice and loose all that you hold so very dear please try to forgive me. I love you so very much, Isobel Rose Black

I have forgiven her, and though I miss her, life goes on. Booth killed gormogon, and we buried Isobel's body. Sometimes, when I am lonely, I come to her grave and stay for a while, sometimes I talk, and sometimes I listen. She believed in guardian angels, said she'd be mine someday. I never believed before, now I do. I guess loving her changed that. I still love her, I guess I always will. Good bye, Isobel.

Authors note the title of this one also comes from a song, one I had heard and

Thought ooh, this would make a good Zack\Oc song! But I listened to it like 5 times and realized how sad it was; like the girl knew she could not be with Zack. So I put into the back of my mind, and then pain in the heart aired, and Isobel came to be anyway, here's the song

Your subtleties

They strangle me

I can't explain myself at all.

And all the wants

And all the needs

All I don't want to need at all.

The walls start breathing

My minds unweaving

Maybe it's best you leave me alone.

A weight is lifted

On this evening

I give the final blow.

When darkness turns to light,

It ends tonight

It ends tonight.

A falling star

Least I fall alone.

I can't explain what you can't explain.

You're finding things that you didn't know

I look at you with such disdain

The walls start breathing

My minds unweaving

Maybe it's best you leave me alone.

A weight is lifted

On this evening

I give the final blow.

Chorus

When darkness turns to light

It ends tonight,

It ends tonight.

Just a little insight

Won't make this right

It's too late to fight

It ends tonight,

It ends tonight.

Now I'm on my own side

It's better than being on your side

It's my fault when you're blind

It's better than I see it through your eyes

All these thoughts locked inside

Now you're the first to know

When darkness turns to light,

It ends tonight,

It ends tonight.

Just a little insight won't make this right,

It's too late to fight,

It ends tonight,

Tonight,

Insight,

When darkness turns to light it ends tonight
