She knew what she had to do. She knew before Rainer, she knew before she learned about the prophecy. She knew finally what her purpose in life was. It wasn't to save humans and Fae medically. No it was to save the world itself, but at the cost of her own life. She knew that by saving everyone, and by saving Kenzi she was writing her own death sentence. She didn't care though, if it meant she could save the people she cared about, and the woman she loved from total darkness.

She knew that many of the people she cared for probably didn't care for her, but she couldn't let them die. She wouldn't let them die if she had anything to say about it. With a sigh she watched as Bo walked away. Away from her never knowing what she was planning and what was going to happen. She knew that Trick planned on using Kenzi as the sacrifice since she was Bo's heart. But, she also knew that the prophecy also related to the person that the succubus loved. And, many people Fae and Human alike told her how much Bo truly cared for her. Even though Bo had a weird way of showing it she knew it was true. Which caused her to hope that her hunch was right.

She knew that Bo couldn't live without the little goth. She was everything to Bo, her best friend, her sister, and her heart. And, she would never want Bo to have to live without Kenzi, she had been through enough already. With a more tired sigh she walked back towards the room she had just exited. She found Evony leaning against a wall, glaring at nothing, but everything at the same time.

"Come on Evony we need to get to the Temple." She said softly looking at the human Morrigan. Evony snapped her head at the soft words, and her eyes widened almost comically.

"I thought you left me Doc." The Morrigan said with a slight smirk. Lauren only rolled her eyes at the comment, and walked over to Evony and quickly looked over her injuries. After a quick once over Lauren decided that Evony would be able to last until they got to the Temple.

"Come on Evony you're well enough to make it to the Temple." Lauren said turning ready to leave.

"The Temple? Why on earth would we go there? Especially now, unless..." Evony trailed off as realization dawned on her features, and horror filled her eyes. "You can't honestly think I will allow this. Especially for the fact that if your dear succubus finds out I allowed you to kill yourself, well it wouldn't end well for me. Especially now that I am human." Evony hissed her eyes flashing, but despite what the Dark Fae said Lauren could see hidden panic beneath the coldness. And, Lauren knew that somehow in some way she had made it into the Morrigan's heart. Lauren only smiled softly at The Morrigan.

"Bo won't blame you, I hope she will understand why I did it. And, I hope you understand as well. You know how important Kenzi is to Bo, and everyone else." Lauren said softly with conviction laced into her words.

"But, don't you realize how much they would be lost without you? How lost Bo would be? I hold no great love for the succubus, but not even I want to see her go through life without you." Evony shot back. Lauren felt her heart warm at the thought of how much Bo actually cared for her. After all they had been through, Bo still cared. Which made what she had to do hurt so much worse.

"Evony we need to leave, and soon. I don't want to be late, and have Kenzi already be gone." She said a harder tone entering her voice. The Morrigan stood staring at the human doctor in astonishment. Never before had she seen someone so willing to give their life for others, who probably didn't even care for her. Evony had always known there was something special about Dr. Lauren Lewis or Karen Beattie. She had known from the moment she had met the woman when The Ash had introduced them. But, she had never figured it out until now, and the realization brought even greater pain to her. Lauren Lewis was better then them. Better then the Fae, better than all the humans in the world. Of course, Lauren didn't know that, no she was to modest for that. Which added to her greatness. Evony knew what the succubus kept doing to the human doctor, but still Lauren loved her. She still would give anything to protect the succubus and her friends. She would give her own life for them, after all the heartbreak they had put her through. Of course, Evony knew she was at fault as well. She was part of the race that had enslaved and mistreated her for years.

Evony felt a twisting in her gut, and she knew it was guilt. She was guilty because after all these years of abuse Lauren was still willing to sacrifice herself to save them. Save the people who didn't care for her and didn't treat her the way she deserved to be treated. Evony knew if they didn't leave soon that she would break down, and as prideful as ever she wouldn't cry in front of the doctor. No instead when Lauren was gone, Evony would crawl into her bed, and cry herself to sleep. Knowing that she had lost one of the most important people in her life. Even if that person had made her a human.

"Alright lets go." Evony said in a whisper, and she saw Lauren smile with relief. Evony closed her eyes as tears started to sting at the corner of her eyes. She wasn't use to feeling these things, but she knew if it had to be for anyone it should be for Lauren. Evony felt a strong but gentle hand grab her bicep and pull her forward. Towards the Pryipus Temple and towards Lauren's ultimate death. Towards the last time the world would ever see the most amazing thing that had ever walked its surface.

At the Temple;

To say the place they had walked into was in chaos would be putting it mildly. It was like walking into Hell itself. Rubble was strewn across the floor and dead bodies layed haphazardly. The smell of smoke and decay filled their nostrils making them wrinkle in disgust, but Lauren didn't mind it at all. She knew that she was about to be killed. That this was her last hour on Earth, but that didn't scare her. No it made her feel tranquil instead. Because she knew that what she was about to do would save millions of lives. And, that was what she had been striving for. Her whole life with the Fae and even before was about saving lives, and making the world a better place. But, to say she wasn't nervous about what she was about to do. Well that would be a blatant lie. She was nervous, but not for herself. For the people who would lose Kenzi if her plan didn't work. If her calculations were wrong, but she strived on the fact that when it came to science she was rarely ever wrong.

She knew that Bo would mourn her death, but then she would move on. Be with Dyson and have the family she always wanted. Lauren would become a distant memory to Bo, and as much as that pained her. She was willing to let the succubus go because she knew that Bo couldn't live without Kenzi. None of them could live without the goth.

Dyson would lose his little sister, and his confidant. He would become lost within himself again without Kenzi's jokes and personality. He would become the introvert man that Lauren had met her first few years with the Light. While Tamsin would lose her human friend, the one the made her tone down. The one who could make her stop acting like a complete bitch even if it was for a short time. Lauren knew that they would miss her even if it was minimal, but then they would all move on. Lauren also knew why Kenzi was also willing to sacrifice herself. Beside from the fact that she would be saving the world and her friends. It was one word, Hale. The late Ash and siren who held Kenzi's heart. Lauren knew Kenzi was heartbroken, but she also knew that Kenzi overtime would compensate. Would become the strong woman that Lauren once knew, and Lauren would not have her sacrifice herself. Not before she could move on and find true happiness. Lauren looked around and spotted Tamsin heading towards them. She held no great love for the Valkyrie but Lauren was glad to see her.

"Doc what are you doing here?" Tamsin asked concern filling her eyes. Lauren only smiled softly at her.

"Tamsin I want you to take Evony and bring her somewhere safe. Can you do that for me?" Lauren said in a soft voice, and she saw Tamsin nod.

"Doc you still haven't answered my question, why are you here?" Tamsin asked again with a little more force. Lauren again only smiled softly at her.

"Oh I believe you know the answer Tamsin." She responded and stared into the Valkyrie's eyes. She saw Tamsin's eyes widen in realization.

"No, Doc you can't. Bo would be absolutely destroyed, you can't die." Tamsin said a begging tone entering her voice.

"It will be alright Tamsin. I am a Healer I am supposed to save lives no matter the consequences, and I don't care about this one." Lauren said with conviction, but Tamsin shook her head.

"No Doc this consequence is to high." She hissed anger sparkling in her eyes.

"Tamsin you know I can't let Kenzi sacrifice herself. Now please take Evony somewhere safe, and I want you to go to my apartment in the Light Fae Compound, and go to my desk. You will find my Will inside, and I want you to read it out loud to everyone. Can you do that for me Tamsin?" Lauren said staring in the Valkyrie's eyes. Tamsin nodded as tears began to cloud her eyes. "Good now go." Lauren said a hard tone entering her voice. Tamsin immediately grabbed Evony and disappeared.

Lauren sighed as she started moving quickly towards the main chamber. It wasn't hard to find as she could hear the sound of metal clashing against metal. She turned a corner, and the scene she saw before was absolutely horrific. Soldiers lay dead on the ground while more and more fought Bo and the others. Lauren felt her breath catch in her throat at seeing Bo. She looked so beautiful even when she was fighting and covered in debris. Lauren looked towards the main part of the chamber and saw that the portal was beginning to open. Lauren knew she didn't have much time left. She glanced back and saw that Bo had been pulled to the side by Dyson. The Soldiers had seemed to be affected somehow by the portal opening, and Lauren realized it was because they were waiting for a sacrifice.

Lauren saw Kenzi staring at the portal with determination shining in her eyes. She knew that if she didn't act quickly Kenzi would be gone. Lauren turned her head and saw Dyson staring at her with shock in his eyes. Lauren just smiled and dipped her head towards him. "You Won, take care of her." She mouthed and saw the wolf's eyes widen. She knew he was about to do something that would alert her presence, and she knew that Bo would not let her go through with what she was doing. So Lauren turned towards the portal and took off just as Dyson screamed her name.

The affect was instantaneous Lauren saw Kenzi's eyes widen. She saw out of the corner of her eye Bo struggling against Dyson's hold. But, Lauren didn't care as she passed soldiers immobile for the time being, and got closer to the portal. She briefly saw Bo break free of Dyson's hold before the glow of the portal took over her senses. Lauren knew that she was about to go through the greatest pain she had ever felt. She knew it but she didn't care. As long as her friends, her family would be safe than she didn't care how much pain it caused her. Lauren felt her body smash into the portal and felt nothing. It was like she was just floating through an abyss or space.

She could feel nothing nor see anything, all she saw was total and utter darkness. Then the pain started. It was like liquid hot knives were thrust into every part of her body. The burning sensation only grew worse as she felt her lungs seemingly start to tighten and would not let any air in. She could feel the burning spread to her heart as her heart started to beat wildly in need of oxygen. Her bones felt like they were melting within herself. The pain reached a peak, and all she wanted to do was scream. Scream her agony but she couldn't. She couldn't make a sound as the pain started to numb down. It wasn't gone no it wasn't gone, but it felt like a buzz over her skin. She felt a hard push to her back, and she felt the cold stale air of the Temple hit her. She felt her side connect with the ground, but couldn't do anything to alleviate the discomfort. She knew her body was shutting down.

With every ragged breath she took her life was nearing to its end. She felt the icy grip of death working its way up her spine. She felt cold so cold which was way she almost groaned when she felt her body shift, and a sudden warmth spread through her. She knew who it was and couldn't help but smile softly. Bo.

Bo was there beside her. She could tell from the scent that the succubus seemed to always have. Whether it was perfume or shampoo she didn't know, but Lauren would always remember the smell. Even as her other senses started to shut down, she would always be able to tell when Bo was near. She didn't understand when she felt something wet hit her cheek. Last time she had checked it hadn't been raining and the forecasts hadn't predicted it either. She also hadn't felt herself be moved to any other location. Which meant it was only one other conclusion. Bo was crying which caused Lauren's heart to burn painfully. But, Lauren realized that it didn't matter she had to say something one last time to Bo. One last goodbye before she died.

So with more strength than she thought her body was able to perform, she constricted her throat to be able to talk. But, before she could she heard Bo's voice. "That's right baby fight it ok. Help is on the way you will be fine. You will be fine." The last part Lauren thought was more for Bo than herself.

"Bo." It came out scratchy and hoarse, and it burned her throat to do it, but she ignored it. Lauren felt Bo shift her in her arms so that she was more comfortable. Even though it wouldn't matter in a few moments.

"Yes baby." It was a soft whisper filled with so many emotions that made Lauren's heart warm. Love and compassion was two of the main ones, and Lauren knew this was going to be hard.

"Bo, I need you to listen to me ok." She whispered again and she felt Bo nod her head. Lauren smiled softly even if she couldn't really control how much anymore. "Bo sweetheart I need you to be strong for me and for the others alright. Fight the darkness and fight for the good in life. I love you Bo always remember that, and I hope Dyson can become the person I think he will be for you." She said softly already feeling her body start to fade.

"No no Lauren you will be fine alright, you will make it through this and we will have the white picket fence and the 2.5 kids and we will travel the world together. Baby, I just need you to hold on for a little while longer. Please." The desperation and fear that was in Bo's voice broke Lauren's heart.

"Thank you for giving me the freedom to love, and I do." She whispered softly as she felt her body finally fade into deaths grasp.

She woke up with a start and looked around the room she was in. It was stark white and had nothing definable about it. Lauren got up with slightly wobbly legs and moved around the room trying to find a way out. After a brief once over she found only two chairs that she hadn't noticed before centered in the middle of the room. Lauren didn't know why but she felt like she had to sit on one of the chairs. So with caution in her steps she moved towards the chair and sat down. Almost immediately there was a flash and a woman appeared. Lauren took her time to examine her. She had beautiful golden hair that went down to her shoulder blades. Her blue eyes were the color of the sky and the Caribbean seas. She had beautiful tan skin and high cheekbones. With full rosy red lips. She was the personification of beauty. Lauren noticed that the woman was wearing a white blouse and dark blue jeans with knee high black leather boots.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Dr. Lewis." The woman said sitting on the chair across from her with a grin.

"Thank you but you can call me Lauren, but may I ask who you are?" She asked with a small smile.

"Oh pardon my bad manners my name is Elizabeth Rosalie Odette Carina Astor or others mostly call me Beth or Eleana." She said with a smile. Lauren couldn't help but chuckle at the woman's outgoing attitude.

"It is very nice to meet you Eleana." Lauren said liking the sound of that name more than Beth. "Now I have to ask where exactly am I?" Lauren continued looking around the empty room.

"Oh that's easy you are in Limbo or Purgatory as most call it. Now I know what you are going to ask the reason you are here is because your destiny is not yet completed. You still have a couple more things you need to do before you can go to Valhalla, and I have been sent to help."

"But, how am I supposed to help people I'm dead." Lauren said with a frown, but Eleana only smiled.

"You aren't really dead Lauren. Sure it might seem like it to others but your spirit or soul is still striving, and that's what I am talking to right now. And, how we will do it is simple. Just bring you back to "life"." Eleana explained. Lauren nodded feeling a little elated about returning to Earth.

"When will we go?" She asked raising her eyebrow.

"It's hard to tell, it will take time to charge the machine we will use to get out of Limbo and you back to Earth safely." Eleana said softly and Lauren nodded.

"You said I had a destiny what is it?" Lauren asked with a frown.

"I don't even know the Gods have told me that it will become clearer in time. But, remember your choices define how your path will play out. Lets just hope your conclusion will be a happy one." Eleana said her smile leaving her face slightly. Lauren only nodded staring at the wall in front of her.

"Is there something else that I should know?" She asked feeling like Eleana wasn't telling her something. And, by the sad smile she received she knew she was right.

"Yes there is, when you return to Earth no-one but one person from your life can know you have returned not until the time is right. And, before you think you can tell the succubus the Gods have already decided, and you will know when we go back to Earth." Eleana explained, and Lauren sighed sadly. She knew that the opportunity didn't have problems. But, she also knew that even if she couldn't talk to Bo at least she would be able to see her. Lauren nodded in understanding and she saw Eleana smile.

"Good now I have a question for you." Eleana said clapping her hands together excitedly.

"What is it?" Lauren asked tilting her head to the side. Eleana's smile grew from a smile into a full blown grin.

"Do you like chocolate?"

A/N: Yes I know a weird place to leave a chapter but I hoped you liked it anyways. And, yes Elizabeth or Eleana is here to stay. She will be Lauren's best friend so to speak because I believe she should have one. And, trust me the question does have a meaning. And, what Lauren meant by how she knew about what she was supposed to do, she just had a feeling it will also explain itself in later chapters.

Again I know a weird place to leave a chapter especially after all the angst and/or drama. But, one of the reasons I made Eleana up was to lighten up the story a bit. And in turn lighten Lauren up. But, again I hoped you liked the Chapter and I will try to update this regularly. And, Astor means something the first person to figure out what can decide on who the Secret Keeper for Lauren is I have one in mind but I can let you choose. Also sorry if anything is off it actually has been awhile since I watched this particular episode.

Again hoped you liked it, and until next time.
