Chapter 23: I'll Love You Forever

Elijah's Residence

Lauren and Elijah had been standing in the middle of the room for about twenty minutes now, trying their hardest to break through Mason's barrier with their combined powers. But it wasn't working.

"We're close, I can feel it. We just need something to push it over the top" Elijah sighed, letting go of Lauren's hands. He knew that they could do it if they had more power, but there was no one around to help them.

Then Lauren had an idea, "I know what to do…" She closed her eyes, summoning Lucas to her. Opening her eyes she saw that he was standing a few feet away from them, confused as to why he was here. "… I hope I didn't drag you away from anything" she apologised.

Lucas had to adjust to the brightness in the room, he knew exactly where he was and he hadn't been topside in a while. He stepped forward, shaking his head. "Nothing important, what's with the summons?" He asked.

Elijah followed Lauren's train of thought, and it was brilliant. The only person that he had in mind to help was Damon, but he as indisposed. "We are in desperate need of your help son, the fate of our race depends on us" he said.

"Oh, alright. What can I do?" Lucas was all for helping his own kind, plus he could sense Lauren's worry over Bo. So he was guessing that this had something to do with the big threat that he'd been hearing about.

"You can lend us your power…" Lauren held out her right hand to him, "… We need all the help we can get. Bo's in danger, please Luke" she begged him.

Lucas grabbed her offered hand without a word, then joined hand with Elijah who did the same with Lauren. The three of them formed a small circle. "You should've led with that…" he winked at her. "… Let's do this"

Elijah focuses his power, Lauren and Lucas didn't really have to do anything. He was the one breaking through the barrier, he just needed more power to channel from. "Both of you, close your eyes" he told them, closing his own.

It was time for the wall to come down.

Mason's Compound

For someone who had only required her Angel abilities an hour ago, Bo was holding her own quite well. Especially when faced with someone as old and as experienced as Mason. She honestly thought that the only one that was going to get hurt was him, but he didn't seem to care about the fact that she was his daughter anymore.

The three vases that almost hit her head, showed her that.

"Okay, time out!" She held her hands up to him, taking a breath. This was getting tiring, she saw him halt his steps. "Look, I'm sure that we can work this out. Maybe we can just agree to go our separate way and call it even" she smiled hopefully.

Mason had to laugh. "Always the comedian, my daughter. Sadly, the time for negotiations has long passed"

Bo nodded, she figured that he'd say that. Which was why she was willing the mounted sword on the back of the wall behind him to move. "Oh well, can't blame a girl for trying right? Sorry in advance for the sting" she said.

"Sting?" He frowned, was that a teenager term that he'd never heard of?

She focused her eyes, using her powers to drive the sword through his back and right through his chest. Watching his scream, and then fall to his knees looking down at the sliver blade poking out of his chest.

Seeing him tremble in pain, made her think that maybe she'd won. But when he just used his powers to remove the sword, she shut her mouth.

Mason stood on his feet, opening the little slit that had ripped through his shirt. He watched his wound heal, front and back. "Oh I'm sorry, were you expected that to be my end?" He smirked at her. "You may have both Fae and Angel abilities but, I have two thousand years on you little girl"

"Maybe, but I'm a quick study!" Bo used both of her hands to throw him through the wall behind him. He tumbled through the bricks, the concrete crumbling around him. She looked up, "Anytime now, would be great guys!" She called, hoping that Elijah and Lauren would hear her.

Bo heard a crick in the floor boards behind her, turning around she saw a animalistic face roaring at her. It was Mason's right hand, Kal. He tried to grab her, but like earlier when Lauren gave her a crash course on her powers. The scare of him growling in her face, triggered her transporting power.

Within a second, she vanished in a curtain of black mist.

Kal shifted his features back, running over to where he saw her throw Mason. He sorted through the rubble, seeing his friend buried underneath. "Mason?" He shook his hand, trying to wake him. "Brother? Wake up! You're better than this!" He pulled him out of the pile, smacking his face.

Mason came to, coughing from the dust. "Where is she?" He sat up, then got to his feet with the help of his friend.

"I tried to grab her, but she vanished before my eyes. How is that possible?" Kal was a little late to the party. So he didn't understand how Bo who he believed to be just a Succubus, but she had the powers of an Angel.

"Yes…" Mason dusted his clothes off, touching his forehead and coming away with blood on his fingers. He'd probably already healed, but the blood never went away. "… She has somehow triggered her Angel side, it makes her quite the opponent. And very cocky" he'd gone passed caring now.

Kal lifted his head, sniffing for her scent. "She's in her bedroom, do you want me to handle it?" He asked.

Mason shook his head. "No, she's mine…" He said, "… This won't take long" he tapped his friend on the shoulder, then set off to the stairs.

Bo's Bedroom

She didn't know why she appeared in this room, probably because it was the most familiar to her. Plus she was thinking about hiding here when Kal scared her. Bo was used her powers to move the dresser in front of the door. Blocking the entry.

But that didn't really make a difference, since Mason only went and appeared before her eyes. "Rookie mistake!" She scolded herself, why didn't she think of that?

"I must say, I've enjoyed this little chase. I haven't had this much fun, in a long time. But sadly, it's time for this game to end" He raised his hand, lifting her up off of the floor. And pushing her back into the left wall.

Bo tried to move her hands and legs, but it was no use. It was as if she was glued to the wall. "Are you really gonna kill me?" She asked him. She really hoped that Elijah and Lauren were close.

Mason stood in front of her, with one hand in his pocket. "It wasn't my intent to, I just wanted you by my side. As my daughter, you could've had everything that you ever wanted. You would've been treated like royalty. I'll give you one last chance" he said.

She started laughing, "I'll pass, see I already have everything. I have a family, a home, friends, Parents. And I'll have always have Lauren, but you…" She looked at him. "… Will forever be alone"

"Goodbye Ysabeau" he raised his hand again, using his powers to choke her. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain shoot through his chest. He dropped his hand, looking down to see an iron spike poking out through his chest.

Elijah twisted the dagger through his back, it seemed as though he and Lauren had broken through just in time. When Mason dropped his hand, Elijah watched Bo fall from the wall. "Take her up there, where it's safe" he spoke to Lauren who was already tending to Bo.

Lauren picked Bo up off of the floor, transporting her out of the building immediately. She was so glad that they got through.

Mason choked on his own blood, "You did this" he coughed.

"No, I banished you. I didn't turn you into a monster, you did that to yourself…" Elijah twisted the knife again. "… That, is for my Wife!" He whispered loudly into his ear. Iron was their one weakness. The element burned them, the dagger was sizzling as it cut Mason's skin.

After taking a few more breaths, Mason admitted defeat and closed his eyes. He was dead. Elijah pulled the dagger from his back, dropping his limp body to the ground. He kept looking, until he saw Mason's body turn grey in colour. He started to turn to ash.

"No!"

Elijah turned around, seeing a man on the balcony. Since the door was blocks, he must've claimed over from another room. His eyes were that of an animal. "Ah, you must be one of the shifters that attacked my son…" He smiled. "… I've been waiting for you" he held the dagger in hand.

"You've got me, old man!" Kal growled, ready for a fight.

Lewis Residence (The Heavens)

Lauren got Bo out of the compound like her Grandfather suggested, her Girlfriend wasn't saying much. In fact, she wasn't saying anything at all. Lauren helped her over to her bed, sitting her down. "Bo, look at me" she held her face.

Bo's head hung in Lauren's hands, she was so tired. Using all of that power had taken its toll on her physically. "Is it over?" She managed to ask one question.

"Yeah babe, it's over" Lauren smiled, nodding. She had been so worried about her while she was with Mason, it was a wonder she could even focus her powers enough for them to break through the barrier in time.

"Groovy" Bo laughed tiredly, then passed out.

Lauren caught her, laying her head gently on the bed. "Groovy? We really need to talk about your vocabulary when you wake up…" She stood, taking Bo's shoes off and then her jacket. She knew all too well, that using this much power weakened you. "… Rest up, I'll be here" she kissed her head.

With Bo out for the count, Lauren thought it best to leave her sleep in peace. And she still wanted to check on her Dad. She left Bo a note, telling her that if she woke up before she got back not to worry.

Damon's Guest Quarters

Lauren reappeared in her Father's room, seeing him sneaking a glass of scotch. "I'm not a Doctor yet, but I'm pretty sure that alcohol is the wrong thing to be drinking in your condition" she startled him.

Damon spilt his drink, a few drops falling on the carpet. "Well, I am a Doctor. And I'm saying that it's more than justifiable. What brings you here? I thought you and Bo had a plan to take Mason down for good" he sipped the drink.

"We did, and it worked…" Lauren stepped forward to see the perplexed look on her Father's face, clearly she needed to explain a little more. "… He's dead Dad, Grandpa killed him about ten minutes ago. We got there just in time, he was about to kill Bo"

He was astonished, that two young girls that were still so inexperienced managed to hatch this kind of plan. And it was a success. Damon didn't give them enough credit, that would change now. He placed his drink on his table, opening his arms for her.

When Lauren finished her sentence, he could tell that her worry was still there. And still causing her pain. When she jumped into his arms, he groaned a little due to his wounds that were still healing. But he didn't care right now. "How is she?" He referred to Bo.

"She's weak, all of the power that she used fighting him and drained her. I left her to sleep in my room back at our house up here. She passed out on me when I tried to talk to her, she'll be okay right?" Lauren just wanted to make sure.

Damon nodded, "Yes, she'll be fine. Our powers are without bounds, but not inexhaustible. As you well know. Just give her time to sleep if off…" he pulled back, looking at her. "… I am sorry that I doubted her, I had no right to judge her so harshly" he saw his mistake now.

"No, you didn't. But it's okay, I know that you're just protecting me. That's all you ever do, but we can relax now. Mason's gone, and he's not coming back. We can move on now" Lauren said.

"Yes, we can" Damon smiled, he was all for that.

The Father and Daughter talked for a bit longer, Damon tried to make Lauren see passed her worries. And her fears, now that Bo was one of them. She didn't want her to be treated any differently than the rest of them.

Due to Bo being conceived when Mason had already Fallen from Grace. Damon informed her that Bo's mist would always be black in colour. It would never change, which made Bo one of the Fallen without actually Falling from Grace.

Lauren didn't understand it, but her Father told her that the system was flawed. But it worked for them this long, and it would remain that way. The laws would never change, only evolve and grow.

And for Bo they would, Damon promised his daughter that. What Bo had done for them all, was an honourable and noble act. She'd fought her own Father, for an entire race of people that looked at her in disgust.

Even though, Damon knew that it was mostly for Lauren more than anyone else. Which was fine, but she'd still done the Angels a service. "Where's my Father now?" He asked her.

"I dunno, the last time I saw him he told me to take Bo and leave the compound. To be honest, I think he wanted time alone with Mason before he killed him. He's entitled to that much, especially after what Mason did to Grandma" Lauren understood.

"Yes, after all these centuries. My Mother has finally been avenged. And the others that died at Mason's hands, which were many" Damon sighed, they'd lost a lot of people to that mad man.

Lauren had lost track of the time that she'd been here, because right now she could sense that Bo was awake. And calling for her. "I'll leave you to get some rest, bye Dad" she kissed him on the cheek and then left.

Lewis Residence

Bo stretched out, her arms were sore from all of the throwing that she'd done. But to be honest, she welcomed this soreness. Because it was the result of her plan succeeding. Mason was gone for good now, she could live her life the way that she intended. Everything could go back to the way it was.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

She turned around, seeing her Girlfriend standing next to the bed. "Just one thought…" She walked over to her, grabbing her and kissing her fiercely. "… You" she said.

"I can't believe it's really over, he's gone" Lauren smiled, with tears in her eyes. This was all that they'd wanted since Mason had shown his true colours. For the threat to be over, and for them to be okay.

Bo brought her into a hug, holding her tight. "Yeah, he's gone. We're free" she pressed a kiss to her forehead. Since the day had been long, they both decided to retire for the night. But not after celebrating their victory with a healing session for Bo.

They fell asleep in each other's arms, peacefully and quietly. They didn't have to worry anymore, about Mason, if he was planning to attack, or planning to rid the world of them.

They could just, sleep.

The Arcadian (Next Day)

When he got back to his residence, Elijah had to clean himself up. He didn't go easy on Mason's friend Kal. Or any of the other shifters that he came across when ransacking his home. It wasn't mature, or the way of an Elder.

But he had a score to settle, and he did just that.

He thought that sleeping last night would've come easy, but he was conflicted. Because even though Mason deserved everything that he got. Elijah wasn't a killer, he didn't do it for pleasure. He did it for survival.

But today was a new day, for the Angels especially.

Elijah wanted to honour Bo with her own title, she was part Angel. Whether she was Fallen or not made now difference to him. Because she had saved their lives, if it wasn't for her bravery then they would all be dead.

He stood before his people in the Arcadian Hall, beside his fellow Elders. The only families that were attending this ceremony were the ones from Royal descent. Bo was an Erikson by birth, and they came from royalty. Just like Lauren, Lucas, and Madison.

She was also the Matriarch of her line, which meant that she needed to be bound with the others. But since Lauren was already bound to Lucas and Madison. Bo only needed to be bound to one. Lauren was happy to volunteer.

Elijah had Bo's family brought up here, they had every right to be here. "We are all gathered here, to commend someone for their bravery. Someone, who to most of you will seem different. But I am here to tell you, that she is no different to any one of you" he spoke aloud.

Lauren held Bo's hand, walking her over to the altar as he nodded to them. She could feel Bo's nervousness, but one of the perks of Bo being an Angel now. Meant that Lauren could communicate with her telepathically. 'You're doing great babe' she winked at her.

Bo was still getting used to that, but she loved it. Who needed a cell phone when you could do this? She watched Elijah approach them both, holding a knife. He handed it to Lauren. Bo watched her Girlfriend cut a line down her palm, then told her to do the same thing. Once they were done, they joined hands.

"Do you, Bo McCorrigan. Swear to always protect your kind, be there for them when they are in need, and vanquish those who mean to harm them?" Elijah asked her same question as he'd asked Lauren and the others.

Bo nodded. "Sure, you bet…" She heard people grumbling around her. "… I mean, I do" she corrected herself. This was way too formal for her liking, she was still unaligned. But she was told that she had to do this ceremony so that her Powers wouldn't grow out of control.

The power coursed through her body, she and Lauren were both glowing bright. When it happened with Lauren before, Bo had to look away. But now, she could see clearly. Because she was meant for this light.

"Everyone bow your heads, in honour of our newest Matriarch" Elijah bowed his head, as did everyone else in the room. After a few minutes, everyone stood and broke apart. The ceremony was over.

Bo let go of Lauren's hand, seeing her cut Palm heal up instantly. She didn't even need to feed anymore, the hunger that she used to feel was gone. It was a miracle. "I can't believe this" she breathed.

"Believe it babe, you're one of us now. And, we're bound…" Lauren kissed her softly, this was probably the happiest day of her life. "… Forever, I hope you're good with that. Because there's no take backs" she chuckled.

"Oh baby, I am more than okay with that" Bo held her close, kissing her again. Maybe this was why she was supposed to remain unaligned, so that she could become a Matriarch. It made her wonder, if this was her destiny all along.

Tamsin and Paige walked up to them. "Alright, save the smooching for when you get back to earth. This is a PDA free zone, trust me" Tamsin sighed, she'd been told off more than once for getting caught making out in here.

"Congratulations Bo, I always knew that you had a little Angel in you. Hey? Ever think about joining the Core? We could use someone like you" Paige knew the day that she met her, that Bo was special. She just didn't know in what way.

Bo smiled. "Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll finish school first. Besides, Following orders isn't really my thing" she appreciated the gesture.

Paige guess as much. "Well, if you ever change your mind. Let me know, I'll put in a good word with Aurora"

"So, how about we all go for a bite to eat. Then we can get the party started!" Tamsin smiled excitedly. She was up for getting the hell out of here, it was all too preppy and formal.

Lauren nodded. "That sounds great, why don't you go and ask Lucas if he wants to come with?" She turned to Bo who nodded also and walked off to find her roommate. She looked at her Sister and Paige who were smiling at her. "What?"

Paige laughed with Tamsin, "You're so smitten!"

"So?" Lauren shrugged, she wasn't ashamed of that. She was allowed to be happy with the girl that she loved. What was so wrong with that?

Tamsin held her hands up, "Hey, we're not saying it's a bad thing. But you're kinda making us look bad, so could you maybe turn it down a notch?" She wondered.

"Sorry T, no can do. I wouldn't even know how to do that, I'm just really in love. And now my Girlfriend in an Angel to boot! So, I'm living life right now" Lauren was loving this, she and Bo were bound forever.

Paige tapped her on the arm. "I'm happy for you Lollipop, and for Bo. She's certainly one of a kind" she had never seen Lauren this happy and she loved seeing the smile on her face, she didn't want it to go away.

"She sure is" Lauren looked over to where Bo was talking to Lucas, they were laughing about something. And seeing her smile, made Lauren smile. Everything had worked out.

Later

After Bo had dropped her Parents and Kenzi back at their house, she joined Lauren topside once more. Her Girlfriend claimed that she had a surprise for her, she didn't know what else could happen. But she was excited none the less.

Bo focused on her Girlfriend's energy, she was getting the hang of this already. And being bound to the love of her life, made it a lot easier. She appeared in front of a house, it was made of grey stone, and it looked really cool. Almost modern.

"Lauren?" She looked around the courtyard, not seeing her Girlfriend anywhere. "This isn't funny, I hope this isn't a joke" she sighed.

"No joke…" Lauren popped up from behind her, like Tamsin always did to her. "… Sorry, I just had to get something from my Grandpa" she said.

Bo frowned, "What?"

Lauren dangled a set of keys in her Girlfriend's face, "These, follow me…" She smiled, taking her hand and leading her down the pathway. They got to the front door, and Lauren unlocked it. Stepping inside, they saw that the house was immaculate. "… Do you like it?"

Walking around, Bo saw that it was very much her style. Modern, yet rustic. She liked it very much. There was furniture everywhere, but they were covered with white sheets. "Yeah, it's great. But why'd you bring me here? Who's house is this?" She asked.

"It's yours" Lauren said.

Did Bo just hear that right? "I'm sorry, what did you just say?" She couldn't get over that, "Mine? What do you mean it's mine? I'm not even twenty one years old, I can't afford property" she didn't understand.

Lauren stepped closer to her, "Let me explain. Now that you're one of us, you get all of the perks of being in our world. Including, your own family home. This…" She gestured to the whole house. "… Used to be the Erikson residence, it's been abandoned every since the massacre"

"So, you're saying that Mason and his Parents owned this house?" Bo asked, seeing her Girlfriend nod. "What does this have to do with me?"

"You're the last living Erikson Bo, this house and everything that it contains. Is yours now, my Grandfather never touched the house. Mason was the one that he hated, he didn't have anything against his Parents. They were good people according to what he's told me" Lauren said.

Bo couldn't believe this, she was being given a house. A huge house! "I uh, can't get my head around this…" She walked away, taking one of the sheets off of the large couch. It was leather, she loved leather. "… You're telling me that this is all mine?" She had to make sure.

Lauren nodded with a laugh. "Yep, down to the floorboards. I know how much you wanted to know the other part of yourself. You never needed Mason for that, everything you need to know is in this house. Pictures, videos, files kept in the study. It's all yours"

"Heavy" Bo let out.

She never thought that she would be part of a community like this, she was never ashamed of being a Succubus. But to be honest, if she had to choose a side between Fae and Angel. She would be proud to choose Angel.

They accepted her, when the Fae wouldn't. The Angels embraced her for being different than the rest of them. When the Fae wanted her dead for remaining Unaligned. She preferred it up here.

"Hey?" Lauren touched her shoulder. "Are you okay? Look, if you're not ready for any of this then we don't have to be here. You come and go whenever you want" she hoped that she hadn't overstepped.

Bo shook her head. "No, this is amazing…" She smiled at her. "… You never stop surprising me, and I love you for that. Thank you for this, it's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me" she kissed her.

"You're welcome, and I love you too. We finally did it, we've got forever. You're like me, we're the same now" Lauren didn't care if Bo was still Fae, that wasn't why she loved her, but she had to admit that it was that much more exciting.

"I dunno about the same. I mean, I'm half Fae and half Angel" Bo still didn't really understand it.

"Yeah, but you're all Bo. And that's what I fell in love with. Okay?" Lauren would always mean that, when they were together it was just them, no Fae or Angels.

Bo smiled, "Okay. So, you know this Forever things is the real deal now. There's no going back, we're in it for the long haul" she was totally okay with spending the rest of her life with one person. As long as it was Lauren.

Succubus nature be damned.

"Forever and ever, I promise" Lauren leaned in, falling into the most intimate kiss that they'd ever shared. This was the beginning of something amazing, they were going to have fun for the rest of the time that they were in College and then start a life together.

They were now, two Angels in love.

And there was nothing wrong with that.
