I'm sorry guys but I am forced to go on a hiatus as I have exams to revise for, so this will be the last update for a while. I promise I will return to it, as I love writing it. I will try and write in any spare time I have. You can check my tumblr (the url is on my profile) as that's where I'll post updates on the process of my fanfics when I start writing them again.
Thank you to the moon and back for those who gave such overwhelming reviews, they really do mean a lot and I'm glad you guys are enjoying it.
Thank you so much for reading. Let me know what you think of this chapter :)
Hope you enjoy :)
Bo appeared in one of the most beautiful places she has ever seen; there were beautiful golden plated gates in the middle of a white cloud-like flooring; the succulet as never felt more peaceful and at rest before. The brunette suddenly realised that someone was holding onto her arm as she looked over her shoulder she was shocked to see a familiar blonde woman next to her.
"Freya?.. Where am I?" Bo asks bemusedly as she searched intently around her surroundings seeing nothing in the distant but the same cloud-like flooring. Freya gently placed her hand over Bo's chest. The brunette rapidly got her memory back as she felt a sharp shooting pain in her chest "Oh my god am I—" not being able to finish the sentence; looking intently at the Valkyrie awaiting an answer.
"I told you Bo that if you stayed true to who you are; you would defeat the darkness." Freya replied undesirably.
"No Rainer is still alive. Oh god Lauren, his going to kill her. Send me back now!" Bo demanded anxiously.
"Rainer wasn't the darkness that you had to overcome, Bo. You had to defeat the darkness that was looming deep inside of you. By you having a human upbringing, made you virtuous; temporarily suppressing the evil inside of you. A self-sacrifice was the purest action that would destroy the darkness that was lingering to come out as the Pyrippus drew closer to you; he desperately needed his dark queen to release him from Hel."
Bo had so many questions to ask Freya as she absorbed what the older fae was telling her but she pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind as someone important to her was in danger.
"Freya I need you to take me back, Lauren needs—" Bo pleaded before she was hastily cut off.
"I can't do that Bo your soul has already been delivered; after all you died a noble death. There is no way back. "Freya hastily replied.
"No! There is always a way" Bo sobbed; feeling guilty as she persuaded Lauren to stay at the clubhouse claiming she would keep her save.
"But I assure you Rainer is not alive" Freya added coolly.
"What?" Bo furrowed her stare in confusion.
"Tamsin killed him shortly after your death."
The mention of the Valkyrie's name saddened the brunette; she felt her heart come extremely heavy; not knowing when she would see the blonde again.
"How is Tamsin?" Bo said lowly
"She's hurting, but you can ask her yourself?" Freya replied
"What do you mean?" Bo asked confused; feeling her heart beat quicker against her chest. The chance to see Tamsin again seems too good to be true to the brunette.
"She bonded to you Bo; you're her warrior: it's her responsibility to guide you through the gates. Where you will be chosen to either reside at Valhalla with Odin or Folksvang with me." Freya informed
"No I won't do that to her, it will break her." Bo said stubbornly, before falling onto her knees as the pull in her chest caused her legs to buckle underneath her.
"You don't have a choice Bo" The older fae replied softly.
"What's happening?" Bo strained. Her eyes soften and her signature smile grew across her face as she suddenly felt the green eyed beauty's presence as if she was right next to her. "Tamsin" she gasped.
"Tamsin!" Kenzi cried out; seeing the blonde faint pushed the human's emotions over the edge. She rushed over to the Valkyrie's side cupping her face.
"Tammy, wake up. Please wake up" Kenzi pleaded; tears flowing down from her red sore eyes. "What the hell hap—" the human began glaring at Lauren before she was sapped by a powerful energy force that sent her flying across the room.
"Kenzi!" Lauren jumped onto her feet snivelling as she tried to control her emotions over Bo's death. The doctor rushed to Kenzi's side. "Are you okay?" the blonde croaked; putting her hand out to help the blue-eyed beauty of the ground.
"Oww! What the fuck was that?" Kenzi moaned, as she grabbed the blonde's hand and hoisted herself of the floor; her expression furrowed at the sight before her. "Doc, what the hell is that?" the human pointed over to where Tamsin and Bo we lying on the floor.
Lauren snapped her head to where Kenzi was pointing; she gasped when she saw a golden current flow around Tamsin's and Bo's body.
"I don't know" Lauren said astonished; looking over at the blue-eyed beauty.
"Is it a good or bad thing" Kenzi questioned
"I don't know. We need to phone Trick, he might know. Plus he needs to know about-" Lauren begun but couldn't finish as she started to sob as she glared at the motionless brunette on the floor.
Kenzi grabbed the doctor and hugged her tightly.
"Lauren, it's going to be okay. We both know how stubborn Bo is. She'll come back to us if she knows what's good for her." Kenzi lightly scoffed. "I don't know what happened to Tamsin or what that is." The human gestured to the golden current flowing around Bo and Tamsin. "But I think Tammy might have a plan."
"We can only hope." Lauren weakly smiled at Kenzi "We need to ring Trick." The doctor pulled out her phone and dialled the old timer.
A shining light appeared in front of Bo. She covered her eyes with her hands. The succubus felt a warming touch on her arm.
"Bo" Tamsin called out softly
The brunette removed her hands from her eyes to reveal teary green eyes staring lovingly at her.
"Tamsin" Bo gasped as she pulls the blonde into an embrace, with a huge smile on her face.
Tamsin pulled out of the hug and eagerly crashed her lips on to the brunette's. Bo deepened the kiss as she pulled Tamsin closer to her by her neck.
"I love you" Tamsin exhaled heavily as she pulled out of the kiss looking adoringly into Bo's stunning brown eyes.
Bo lightly scoffed happily "Good to know Valkyrie" she pulled against Tamsin's neck and guided her back to her lips, giving her long heartfelt kiss. She looked into Tamsin's green eyes and whispered softly "I love you too." before she rested her forehead on the blonde's.
Tamsin smiled ear to ear; hearing those words again brought happy tears to form in her eyes as she croakily scoffed. Tamsin soon quickly realised that there was another looming presence, like she previously felt before being pulled away from the clubhouse.
"Freya"
"Hello, Tamsin. I wish we could have met again under better circumstances." Freya weakly smiled at her daughter.
"Which begs the question, why am I here?" Tamsin questioned warily.
"She is your warrior; it is your duty to guide Bo across the golden gates," Freya informed
"Over my dead body, as soon as she crosses that threshold—"Tamsin replied angrily before she felt a relaxing presence linger on her arm. The Valkyrie glanced down at her arm to see Bo had placed her hand on it and was softly stroking it.
"I'm sorry my child but it was Bo's destiny to die for her loved ones" Freya turned her attention to the succubus "it is who you are." Freya said with boldness.
"No, Bo's destiny is far greater than that, anyone can see that. She is the first unaligned fae, she will revolutionise us; that's her destiny." Tamsin snapped, as she spoke something clicked inside of the Valkyrie. She held at her arms at looked at them attentively. "It's mine" she gasped.
"Tamsin, what are you talking about?" Bo quizzed anxiously something in the blonde's eye made her nervous.
"It's my destiny to die for my loved one, my warrior" Tamsin said distantly as she absorbed her own revelation. "I can feel it, I know what I have to do." She smiled gripping her fists.
"Tamsin you cannot be serious, the consequences are too great. You will reside in Valhalla if you go through with this, you will not be allowed in Folksvang. You know Odin will do anything to have you in his clutches." Freya pleaded trying to get the blonde to understand.
"I told you my place, will never be by your side. You should be proud of me Freya, because you chose the one you love over me; well looks like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree because there is nothing you can do to stop me from saving Bo." Tamsin snapped.
"I've been proud of you for a very long time Tamsin, but you and your sister's destiny is by my side and if you follow through with your plans you will soon see what I mean." Freya said cryptically; glaring between Tamsin and Bo.
Tamsin furrowed as her own words got caught in her mouth. 'What did she mean by that? If I reside at Valhalla, how is my destiny with her?' The Valkyrie thought.
"Will someone tell me what hell you two are talking about? Save me how?" Bo said promptly; throwing her hands up in frustration as she raised her eyebrows in question.
"The bond you share with my daughter is the most powerful connection that as ever existed among our kind. She's going to revive your life essence but it comes at a heavy price." Freya replied sternly
Bo looked in awe at Tamsin who swiftly avoided her eye contact.
"What price?" her eyes never wavering from the green-eyed blonde.
"Mother nature has to maintain a balance among living things, bringing you back from the dead will upset that balance. Therefore a sacrifice must be made." Freya informed.
"Sacrifice" Bo said stunned; furrowing her stare at Tamsin; who slowly met the brunette's saddening glare.
"A life for a life. I'm sure you, of all people can understand that concept, Bo. After all you refused to take your human friend's chi to heal the siren knowing it would take her life force to restore his. I leave you two to talk about it." Freya replied; walking away from the two lovers to give them some privacy.
"Tamsin, I won't let you do that, I will never let you sacrifice your life for me." Bo said as a matter of fact; walking over to the blonde placing her hands on her shoulders to keep her attention.
"Bo you have so much to live for; a family that loves you to no end." Tamsin paused her breathing become slightly ragged. "Kenzi; that girl needs you, she has already been through more shit than any human should endure in their lifetime."
"Their your family as well Tamsin. Kenzi would be devastated if she lost you—"Bo started to get increasingly upset.
"But she can't lose you Bo, you're her heart and it's already so fragile after losing Hale. If I can stop it from breaking completely then I will. She needs you more than she needs me." Tamsin said disheartened; she didn't get the chance to say goodbye to the blue-eyed beauty but the blonde found some comfort as she felt like she owed the human everything. This only determined Tamsin to bring Bo back to her whatever the cost.
"Tamsin I can't do this without-" Bo began before it turned into a sobbing mess.
"Hey, sshhh. It's going to be okay." Tamsin could feel the lump forming in her own throat as she tried to fight the tears.
"No Tamsin, you need to promise me you won't do it. There is always another way, we'll find it." Bo said strongly; pulling out of the hug looking seriously at the blonde.
Tamsin smiled before pulling the succubus in for a prolonged passionate kiss; a tear started to fall down her cheek, finding it hard to hold back her emotions. She embraced the brunette swiftly into a tight meaningful hug, as she hovered near her ear. "I love you and I hope someday you will forgive me."
The Valkyrie's body tensed her veins turning from a pale blue to bright gold as her life essence drew into the palms of her hands that were now holding an energised golden-like orb that she shoved into Bo's back before the succubus could even react to Tamsin's words.
The green-eyed beauty collapsed to the floor exhaustingly as Bo disappeared from her arms.
"Trick have you ever seen anything like this?" Lauren quizzed
The old timer had been in a heart wrenching trance since he arrived a few minutes ago, as he saw is beloved granddaughter motionless on the ground with Tamsin.
"Trick" Kenzi called out softly placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Huh?" he eyes were teary and distant. "Um no I've never come across anything like it before, but then the Valkyrie bond is sacred so not much is written on."
"This has something to do with their bond." Kenzi raised her eyes in question.
"What bond?" Lauren asked confusedly
Before Kenzi or Trick could answer the doctor; a blinding light engulfed Tamsin and Bo's bodies causing the gang to turn away and put their hands up to protect their eyes from glowing light.
When the bright light dimmed. The gang were startled when they turned back to see Bo fly forwards clutching her heart; gasping sharply as she choked on the air that rushed into her lungs.
"Bo!" all three of her loved ones said in unison.
Kenzi ran towards her best friend and flung her arms around the succulet as she knelt down beside the brunette. "I thought I lost you" the human said sobbing happily. Bo wrapped her arms tightly around the blue eyed beauty before she glared up to see tears falling down her ex-lovers face and her grandfather's faces; she gave them a warming smile.
Kenzi pulled out of the hug with a wide smile; it instantly faltered when she saw Tamsin still lying motionlessly on the floor.
Bo saw the anguish look that washed over the human's face; she followed her line of eye contact, where she saw the blonde lifeless on the floor. Bo's memory came flooding back; what Tamsin did for her; causing a whirlwind of emotions to rush to surface.
"Tamsin, no!" Bo shouted agonisingly, as she hovered over the blonde tapping her face ruthlessly.
"What did you do? Baby you were supposed to promise me, how could you do this?." Bo thumped the blonde's chest repeatedly. "I didn't want this! I can't do this without you, please Tamsin; wake up I need you." The succubus sobbed.
"Bo what did she do?" Kenzi asked; her lips trembling, knowing on some level she already knew the answer.
Bo grabbed Tamsin's body and clutched it tightly against her warm body. The succubus took quick, deep breaths as she tried to answer Kenzi.
"She gave me her life force" Bo mumbled, but as she replied something clicked in the brunette's mind.
"There's always another way" Bo said croakily as lumps formed in her throat.
Bo jumped up and turned to face Trick, Lauren and Kenzi with burning blue eyes. Her body radiated a golden-orange like current that coursed visibly around her body. The succubus' opened her mouth and inhaled the chi from her family's cores. Trick bent over coughing, while Kenzi and Lauren collapsed on the floor heaving profoundly when Bo stopped feeding. The desperate succulet knelt down as orange energy formed in her mouth. She exhaled the life essence towards Tamsin's lips but the chi evaporated as it reached her mouth.
"No!" Bo scream echoed the room. "Why isn't it working?" the succubus broke down completely she angrily hit Tamsin's body repeatedly "Please, I love you."
Kenzi rushed over to her best friend; not being able to watch the heart wrenching scene unfold before her. She hugged Bo tightly as the brunette still held an arm around the blonde's waist. The blue eyed beauty tried to remain strong for the succubus but both their cries filled the room, as they come to terms that Tamsin wasn't coming back.
"Tamsin" Freya called out as she walked over to the blonde who was crying heart brokenly on the floor. The older fae tried to console her daughter as she felt her own heart feel heavy at the site of her child in such anguish.
"Don't" Tamsin snapped; snivelling as she tried to gain control of the emotions that flooded over her like a tidal wave as Bo disappeared from her arms. She abruptly shrugged of the older Valkyrie's contact as she stood up from the ground.
"I am sorry my child, but this was destined to happen" her mother paused and slightly hesitated "it's time to go Tamsin." Freya said sensitively.
"Yeah, well destiny… can go screw itself" Tamsin snarled heartlessly before she headed to the golden gates; disappearing in a blinding light. Freya began to follow her daughter when something grabbed her attention.
"You planned this didn't you?" a woman's voice appeared out of nowhere upsettingly; before Freya could enter the golden gates.
"How the hell did you get here? You know you shouldn't be here Hnoss. It's not your time; you're not ready." Freya snapped; worried if she was a few seconds earlier Tamsin would have seen her twin sister.
"I have my ways, besides I needed to see her; I felt like I was being ripped into two when I realised that Tamsin…. must have died." Hnoss replied distantly as she stepped closer to Freya her demeanour turning hostile. "I know you're the one responsible for planting that premonition Rainer had about Bo leaving the humans unprotected to go after Tamsin, because the bond they share makes them immune for anyone to predict their future movements, unless someone created one. Did you know Bo would die protecting her loved ones? And that Tamsin would interfere? " She angrily scoffs, when Freya looked away from her intent eye contact and didn't respond. "Well done mother looks like your plan is falling into place; you've got Tamsin exactly where you want her. I hope you're proud of yourself because I've lost all respect for you, Freya." Hnoss snarled; furrowing disgustedly at her mother, before she walked away from her disappearing into smoke as she flapped the black cloak around her body.
Note:
Another cliff-hanger; I'm sorry guys I'm such a pain. I apologise for leaving it like this but I will write in my spare time I promise.
So we briefly met Tamsin's twin sister; who called Freya out on her plans. How is Hnoss going to deal with knowing her mother's secret plans, after witnessing how hurt Tamsin was without Bo. Are her loyalties with Freya; the mother she seems to have known for some time or Tamsin; the twin sister she has never met before.
