Characters aren't mine. I've taken the liberties I wanted for the storyline, but the characters belong to Showcase and Lost Girl.

Note – This is part 1 of the 2 part finale. This chapter will more or less be the plot finale and the next chapter will be the 'epilogue.' I was going to drag it out a bit more but decided not to because I'm already thinking about the sequel LOL

R&R appreciated. Enjoy!

Chapter 19

"Again."

"Tamsin I'm tired."

Tamsin frowned at the human but raised her 'sword' again signaling for the Doctor to do the same. They were getting ready to head back to the school and due to the condition the two came back in last time, Lauren and Kenzi insisted on accompanying them. No was not an option so after a lot of back and forth they agreed the humans could tag along but Ryan and Cassandra were on protection detail. Bo, Tamsin and Dyson would go into the school to confront the Lycan that was hopefully still around. Tamsin took it upon herself to ensure Lauren was ready for the combat while Bo pulled Kenzi aside to give her a little training session of her own.

"Doc, if you're going into battle you need to be ready."

Tamsin lunged at Lauren with the wooden stick in her hand they were using as practice swords. Lauren ducked out of the way with a little shriek as she scooted out of the Valkyrie's reach.

"We've been going at this for hours. I'd like to conserve some energy for the real deal."

Tamsin ignored her and lunged at her again as Lauren sidestepped the lunge and swung the piece of wood in her hand at the taller blonde. She actually caught Tamsin off guard who was impressed by her avoidance ability that she didn't see the wood coming at her head and couldn't duck out of the way in time.

Smack

"Ahhh"

"Oh my God! Tamsin are you okay?"

Lauren dropped her stick and rushed over to the Valkyrie. Tamsin had gone down to one knee on impact more out of being startled than out of pain. Lauren looked horrified as she took Tamsin's head in her hands to check the area on her forehead that she'd made contact with. There was a slight bruise forming and a light scratch but other than that she was no worse for wear. Lauren couldn't help but laugh at the Valkyrie's semi pout that was forming in embarrassment at being bested by the human.

"Oh it's not that funny Doc."

Lauren tried to contain her giggle. "I'm really sorry Tamsin. Come here."

Lauren pulled Tamsin's head down and planted a soft kiss on the spot where she'd hit the Valkyrie letting her lips linger on the spot. Tamsin sighed and smiled at the human.

"Thanks Doc. All better."

Lauren smiled as Tamsin smirked and wrapped her arms around the small waist of the woman in front of her. She set down the stick in her hand and locked her hands behind Lauren as she pulled her closer.

"I think we'll chalk that up to a lucky shot."

Lauren looked thoughtful and smirked down at her. "I don't know. You never know. I might have game."

Tamsin laughed. "You got game huh? Have you been spending too much time with Kenzi?"
Lauren joined Tamsin in her laughter and wrapped her arms around Tamsin's neck. "Well okay. Maybe it's really due to having the best personal teacher ever."

She leaned down and gave Tamsin a soft kiss. Tamsin sighed into the kiss and repositioned her hands so they were resting on the hips of the short blonde. She squeezed her sides slowly which elicited a soft moan from the Doctor and Tamsin smiled into the kiss as she repeated the action while she tugged lightly on Lauren's lower lip with her teeth. The kiss continued for a few seconds before Lauren leaned back and looked down at the Valkyrie with a serious look on her face. Tamsin noticed the look and she looked up at Lauren in concnern.

"Hey Doc, why so serious?"

Lauren bit her lip. "I'm worried Tamsin. I'm worried about today, I'm worried about what will happen. I'm just…"

Tamsin exhaled loudly. "Worried. Yeah I know. But hey, we'll be fine. Really."

Lauren tried to look confident but it didn't quite reach her eyes. She nodded sadly as she tried to keep a strong face. "I know."

Tamsin smiled. "Besides, I'm damn near unbeatable and baby Fae is supposed to be some all supreme thing right?"

Lauren laughed. "Something like that."

Tamsin nodded and stood up while keeping her arms around the Doctor. She pulled her in close letting Lauren melt into her strong embrace. "It'll be okay Doc. We'll be fine."

Lauren gave her a small smile as she hugged Tamsin tightly. After a few seconds she pulled back and looked up at Tamsin with a gleam in her eye. "If you come back in the same state you did last time…I will personally kick your ass."

Tamsin raised an eyebrow but smiled down at her. "Oh really? And what makes you think you'd even get so much as a slap in?"

Lauren smirked as she reached up and tapped Tamsin's forehead lightly where she'd hit her before she broke free of the embrace and turned to walk back into the house. Tamsin stood there in disbelief that Lauren would be so cocky and she smirked as she watched Lauren walk with a little swagger in her hips as she laughed throatily. 'Damn…that's kinda hot' Tamsin thought as she shook her head and followed her back inside.

When the two came back inside they were greeted with the rest of the group who were gearing up to head out. Kenzi saw Tamsin's forehead and made some wise crack about getting smacked around but was quickly silenced by a knock to her own head by Dyson. Kenzi huffed at Dyson and mumbled to herself about everyone PMS-ing as she finished making sure she had what she needed for today. The group loaded up into the SUV and drove the short distance over to the next town where the school was located. They parked down the road from the entrance of the school to make their entrance as quiet as possible.

Lauren, Kenzi, Ryan and Cassandra bunkered down about a hundred feet from the gates that surrounded the school as Bo, Dyson and Tamsin entered the gate that led to the long path to the opening of the school. The area itself had an eerie feel to it as the school grounds were very old and it was obvious they had been abandoned for quite some time. Dyson sniffed the air and he could sense another presence was close but he couldn't identify the type of presence it was.

"Keep your eyes open. We don't know what's in there."

Tamsin and Dyson nodded at Bo as she drew the Carnwennan in preparation for attacking whatever evil showed itself. Suddenly a large boom was heard and the three Fae stopped for a second before cautiously taking another step forward. The door to the school slammed open and the body of a shifter was thrown at their feet.

"What the fuck dude?"

Tamsin took a step forward but was stopped by Bo putting her hand up. Dyson growled lowly as he took in the shifter who belonged to the pack that attacked Bo and Tamsin last time. Bo looked down at the body and back to the entrance that he was thrown from and took a few cautious steps forward.

Back to the other four

Lauren jumped when the door to the school slammed open and she craned her neck to see if she could get a glimpse of the body that was thrown to the ground. From where she was it wasn't completely clear and she didn't know if the group recognized it or not by the way they reacted.

"Don't worry Doc. They're still okay."

Kenzi had Geraldine in her hands and while she didn't really want to, she was prepared to charge the fort if needed. Ryan and Cassandra rolled their eyes slightly at the human reactions knowing that if it got to the point where they had to get involved that they were all up shit creek. Ryan put his hand on Kenzi's shoulder.

"Easy there tiger. Let's just see what happens."

Kenzi just rolled her eyes at him as she resumed her crouched position next to Lauren and stared intently at what was going on.

Back to the threesome

"What the…"

Bo backed up a step as Dyson and Tamsin followed suit. A figure appeared in the doorway but they were surrounded by a bright light making them look as if they were glowing.

"Katya?"

Bo lowered the Carnwennan slowly as she took in the sight of the Fae that had been their source of information. She stood straight up and gave her a confused look. A really confused look.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

Bo's eyebrows couldn't go any higher as she looked at the woman in confusion. Katya was normally put together in pristine, expensive clothing but standing here in front of Bo she wore a simple button down shirt and jeans. She gave the group an even smile as she turned to Bo and appeared to…bow slightly?

Dyson wasn't sure what was going on but he had the urge to protect Bo so he growled loudly as he rushed the woman standing in front of them. With a simple flip of her wrist he was thrown back and landed on his back with a thud. Tamsin watched that happen in disbelief before turning back to Katya with her full Valkyrie stare on her face. Katya stared directly back at her and Tamsin felt the power draining from her body as her face contorted back to its normal shape. She shook her head and backed up a step not really knowing what just happened. Bo looked to her left and right at her very powerful friends who were both put down like lap dogs and she looked back at Katya in concern as she backed up. Katya put her hand up to stop her and gave her a small smile before calling out to the group that was stationed by the opening of the school.

"Bring the humans."

Before they knew what was happening Lauren and Kenzi were being dragged to join the other three in front of Katya. Tamsin and Dyson jumped into action charging at Ryan and Cassandra to release the two humans but they were both flown out of the way by Katya who gave them a bored expression. The foursome stopped just behind Bo and Katya smiled at them warmly.

"I figured you'd all want to hear this together."

Katya reached up and unbuttoned her shirt. She pulled the shirt open and let it slide off her body easily before turning and showing the group the marking on her back.

"Holy shit!" Kenzi looked on in disbelief as she took out her phone and flipped to the picture file they'd gotten from Hale that she'd saved. She held up the phone and looked at Katya's back. The exact same marking that was in the picture was on Katya's back except the one on her back was huge going from shoulder to shoulder and neck down to her waist. It didn't quite look like a tattoo but rather as if it were burned into her skin as it had a distinct reddish brown color.

"Dude…what gives?"

Satisfied she had their attention, Katya turned back around.

"I'm assuming you know what that picture is that you have there?"

Kenzi shook her head and the rest of the group looked at Katya in a mixture of confusion and fear. Katya smiled again.

"It is the mark of the Originals."

Bo shook her head. "But you're not a Lycan…so why do you have it?"

Katya looked at her and spoke in a softer voice. "As I told you before, the Originals were created to sit at the right hand of the ruler of the Fae. We have worked hard to stay hidden, even among the Fae themselves for fear that if we were to be discovered that we would be targeted and killed by those who were protecting the Blood King. Somewhere around the 6th century stories started to surface about the Lycan being the Originals as they are almost as old as the Gryphon. Since the stories seemed to spread and were accepted, we let them keep telling those stories as it brought relief to our kind."

Bo raised an eyebrow. "Your kind?"

Katya nodded. "It's no surprise that the Gryphon are the most powerful of the Fae. We exist simply to protect and keep watch over those who we choose. The Originals were a select group of Gryphon, some hybrid like me, some a mix of Gryphon and another type of Fae, but all of us have a common bloodline."

Dyson sniffed the air but surprisingly he didn't smell anything different permeating from Katya. In fact, he couldn't smell her at all.

She gave him a smile. "As I said before, the Originals can move between realities, between species with no detection."

He gave her a cold stare as he didn't quite trust what he was seeing but he stayed silent. Tamsin looked at her wearily and took a step closer to Lauren as she was fully prepared to protect the human if needed.

Bo, who was still very confused, crossed her arms and gave Katya a hard stare. "If this is all true and you're supposed to be protecting me or whatever, why didn't you say something from the very start? I mean why put us through all of this?"

Katya bowed again slightly. "Because we needed to be sure."

Bo raised an eyebrow. "We?"

Katya didn't say anything as she flexed her back and her large wings unfolded from her back. She stretched them and flapped them slightly as she let out a loud call that Tamsin felt mimicked nails on a chalkboard. The entire group cowered in pain at the noise as four figures appeared out of nowhere, all sporting the large wings similar to Katya's. The foursome bowed down in front of Bo and remained on one knee as Katya held her head high.

"The curse was the one thing keeping us from fulfilling our duty, but now that it's lifted, we serve a purpose once again. Look at you, you don't even realize it do you? You came here with a Light and Dark Fae by your side both ready to fight alongside you in battle. Your power far exceeds your consciousness Bo. Now, you must decide what you will do with it."

Bo looked at Tamsin and Dyson before looking back at Katya. "What I do with it?"

Katya nodded. "Yes. The curse is lifted but you must now bring the prophecy to existence and unite the Fae, end the divide. Also, you need to make peace with the Blood King and end the feud there as well."

Bo rolled her eyes. "And if I don't?"

Katya shook her head. "Then it would have been for not. However, the choice is ultimately yours, as are the consequences. Whatever you choose, we shall be by your side."

Bo looked uncertain. "Uh okay. That's not weird or anything. Look, Katya, I just want this to be over and to go home."

Katya nodded. "As you wish." She flexed her back again and her wings folded back into her body with no evidence that they even existed. The other four did the same and they all nodded at Bo before walking back into the school before disappearing in front of everyone's eyes.

Katya bowed one final time in front of Bo and winked at her. "When you're ready, we will be there."

She turned and followed the others back into the school before disappearing just like they did. The five Fae and two humans stood there in complete shock.

"Well, I really wasn't expecting that…"

Everyone looked at Ryan who shrugged his shoulders as he turned to leave the school and head back to the SUV. The rest of the group trickled out slowly all moving slowly in shock at what they witnessed and what they learned today. The ride back to the estate was a quiet one as the group tried to process everything that happened over the past few days. Life as they knew it would never be the same and now they all had a lot to think about as they prepared to head home. Tamsin and Lauren's growing relationship, what Kenzi would do now that she's learned she was besties with pretty much the boss of all Fae and of course, Bo's newfound calling, which once again put her on the brink of having to make another life changing decision. All in all it was an eventful trip and the group was happy to be heading back to Canada for some much needed R&R. It wasn't the craziest of stories they would ever tell but all would agree…if they didn't experience it for themselves, there was no way they would have believed it happened.

So, what did you guys think? I apologize if this felt anti-climactic but like I said before I'm not so good with the mythology stuff but I gave it my best shot. I am working on the next chapter and once that gets posted I'll be moving on to a sequel, with less plot (but still some sort of storyline) and more fun times. Let me know what you thought and thanks for reading!
