Chapter 21 She is Love

"No!" Halo shouted as she held Lauren's body close to hers. Kenzi and Tamsin ran to Lauren. Lauren was shedding many tears. Kenzi was sobbing over her friend's body and so was Tamsin. Lauren never let her pain show, but it was all too much now. She was being cradled by Halo while she held onto her stomach. There was too much blood. The pain was excruciating. She thought the pain would last forever. She didn't think there would be an end to her suffering. Yama joined them. Halo looked up and finally noticed the angel of death. "Yama" she whispered "No, you can't" she was sobbing. She couldn't let Yama take her.

"It was my purpose all along" Yama said looking to Halo "I'm sorry sacred." She then leaned closer to Lauren's face. Lauren just looked up at her with those heavenly but pained filled eyes. "This will end all your suffering." Yama whispered into Lauren's mouth. Lauren just nodded. Yama then placed a gentle kiss onto Lauren's lips.

"No!" Halo's scream was blood curdling. Tamsin and Kenzi had to hold her back. They didn't want to see Lauren go but they understood why Yama had been there all along. Halo was struggling to be free of their grip but it was too late Lauren was gone. Yama was gone with her. All that lay next to her was a lifeless blood stained body.

Demons started to surround them. They saw Tamsin, Kenzi and Halo and decided to attack them. One of them threw a fireball towards Halo who was still holding Lauren's body and wasn't paying any mind to the attack. Tamsin threw herself in front of them. It grazed her arm but did no real damage. As Tamsin landed on the ground Halo finally looked up. Her eyes were black. Her wings had extended again. Hell started to shake.

"Cover yourselves" she said to Tamsin and Kenzi. They immediately obeyed and hid behind a huge rock.

Halo swiftly extended her arms. Lightening started flashing all around her. The demons started to pounce at her but before they could even touch her she shocked them with lightening coming from her fingertips. The ones that looked like men started to look like monsters. The ones that looked like monsters burnt to the crisp. She would kill every single one in sight. The lightening was now more furious than before.

"Lauren!" Bo shouted. Her eyes flashed blue. Her body started glowing. "How dare you take what is mine?" her voice was booming but this time it was filled with pain and sorrow. "How dare you take Lauren away from me?" Tears were rolling down her face

Belial was weakened but still very strong. "You pick a human over your father?" he said his voice just as loud as hers "Then you pick death over life." He lunged at Bo but before he reached her she started to suck the chi out of him.

His chi was both powerful but poisonous. The more she took the more it killed her but she was also killing him. He took the only person she ever truly loved away from her. He took away her chances of ever making amends with Lauren. He took away her chances of ever having a happily ever after with Lauren. She wouldn't stop sucking the chi out of him until he was dead even if it meant she was killing herself.

His chi was pure evil. Not even her succubus wanted a part of this. But she couldn't stop. He had killed Lauren. He was the reason Lauren's lifeless bloody corpse laid on the ground next to her. Tears started streaming down her face. He took away the one amazing thing in her life. Lauren was love. Lauren was the first person she every truly fell in love with. Yeah, she loved Dyson but it was no comparison to the way she felt about Lauren. Bo and Lauren were supposed to have the white picket fence and the kids and even the dog. Now she didn't even have the chance to make it up to Lauren, all because Belial took her away all too soon. All she wanted was to be with Lauren. If this kills me then please God bring me to her, she pleaded to the heavens. She wasn't sure if anyone was listening but it was worth a shot.

Belial's body started to become visibly weaker but so did Bo's. She was literally sucking the life out of them. He was struggling to get free but he couldn't free himself from his daughter's hold. This was one of the only times he felt fear come over him. Bo making the devil shake in hell

Halo was fighting off the demons and Bo was fighting off the devil. The ground was violently shaking. Halo's anger had gotten the best of her. She could feel herself suddenly becoming weaker. The life was visibly leaving her she couldn't fight the demons off herself. She finally looked over to see Bo killing Belial and herself. "Bo" Halo called out to her but she wouldn't break her contact with Belial.

"Bo" Halo shouted again her voice roaring through the underworld. It still wasn't enough for Bo to look over. Halo couldn't let Bo die, not like this. She sped over to the succubus and pulled her away from Belial. Bo angrily growled and grabbed the angel by the throat. Belial had fallen to the ground, unmistakably weaker. "It's ok Bo" Halo struggled to say. Bo's eyes flashed back to brown. "It's me, Bo" Halo continued. "It's ok"

Bo started to sob uncontrollably "No it's not ok." Bo looked up at Halo who was also crying. "She was supposed to have it all. She deserved it all. She never got the chance. She is gone." Bo whispered through sobs.

Yes she had effectively weakened her father but at the same time she made Halo vulnerable and she was close to death. "Let me heal you Bo." Halo said now holding up the weaken succubus.

"No" Bo was shaking Halo off of her. "Let me die" her sadness was overcoming her. Halo could sense how melancholic the succubus was. "Let me see her again."

Belial was now on the ground. He was weak there was no doubt about that. But he looked over and could see the sorrow overcoming the angel and the succubus. He could see how vulnerable they were. He saw how his daughter had given up. He saw how heartbroken Halo was. He could see how broken they were and he wanted to take advantage of that. He wanted the two dead. He lifted himself off of the ground. Black particles started buzzing around him. He roared as he sped over to the two women, his flesh and blood. He was incredibly fast.

Bo had her back to him but Halo saw Belial coming towards her with his bone protruding from the back of his hand. "No" Halo gasped as she pushed Bo away. She was effective in getting Bo out of the way but she wasn't fast enough to get herself out of the way.

"Halo!" Bo shouted over to her, but it was too late.

Belial had stabbed through her stomach. She leaned into the blade and was startled at the pain. He brought her closer to him.

"Stupid, little sister" he said into her ear "We could've been great. We could've world the heavens, hell and earth. Why little sister? Why?"

"I will never be you brother" Halo whispered through the pain. "I will never give up on the living." A smile started to form on her lips. "I will never give up on love."

He growled at her then retracted his bone back into his body. Halo fell to her knees. At the same time so did Belial. His pained expression matched Halo's. In hurting her, he hurt himself.

"Who's the stupid one now big brother?" Halo managed to get out as she had a weak smile on her face. She was holding on to her stomach. Belial was also holding his stomach in pain. He looked at his sister as he roared in pain.

Bo ran over to Halo. Tamsin and Kenzi had made their war over as well. Tamsin grabbed Bo's arm gently. "Come one Bo, let's get out of here." The demons were coming for them again. Tamsin knew they couldn't defeat them all by their selves.

Bo didn't even look up to the Valkyrie "I'm not leaving her here." Bo couldn't let the angel die alone.

"Bo you need to get your strength" Kenzi said to Bo. "Take from me"

"Take from me" Tamsin also said to Bo.

"No" Bo refused "If I get stronger so will he" she said pointing to her father.

Demons started to attack. Tamsin was fighting her heart out. Kenzi was right behind her. They were ferocious together. But the demons were coming in too fast. Kenzi and Tamsin were amazing at fighting off the demons there was no doubt about that. Tamsin had shown battle skills only a Valkyrie would know and Kenzi was showing skills only Kenzi would know, but it was all too much. The demons were coming too fast. Soon enough they would be lying on the ground next to Lauren.

Halo was close to death. Bo was very weak. Belial was bleeding out. They were all slowly dying. Belial was full of anger and hate. Halo was full of pain for her brother but love for her now dead lover. Bo was full of sorrow for loosing Lauren but all she could think about is how much she loved Lauren. Lauren was and always will be her forever. Bo looked over at Halo and gently held onto her hand. "I'm right here" she whispered over to her.
