”I can’t do it Lauren! I just can’t! I love you too much to kill you.”

Tears streamed down Lauren’s face in response to my pain. I could see the exhaustion in her expression. The long months of fighting had worn her aging body. She was tired of fighting. I said a silent thank you that she never grew tired of fighting for me.

”If you only knew how good it felt when you do that, Bo.” She reached her hands up and cupped my face lovingly. I pressed against her hand and closed my eyes. ”It will not be a painful death like I am going to have otherwise. It is a warm loving feeling, like I imagine heaven will feel like. You feel like Heaven to me Bo. Will you be my Savior one last time, please? Please Bo? I love you, please do this for me,” she plead, crying uncontrollably.

I opened my eyes once more, seeing the honesty in her request. I leaned back in to kiss her again, trying to calm her down. Tears streamed like rivers down both of our faces. ”Yes.” I gave into her last request. How could I not? She had risked everything for me time and again. ”Yes, I will save you my love.”

The kisses deepened and I sent warm pulses into my one true love. Lauren sighed as she relaxed into me. She moaned with pleasure and smiled against my lips.

”It feels so good, Bo. I will always be with you. I love you.”

I choked back my emotions and whispered, ”I will love you for eternity. You will always be with me.”

I had a long life ahead of me, but somewhere deep down I hoped beyond hope that we would meet again someday. I leaned in one last time, pressing my lips softly to hers. With a deep, longing kiss, I began once again, pulling her Chi slowly while pulsing her gently. Several seconds pass before Lauren’s arms hung limp and the flow of Chi stopped. My body began to shake uncontrollably while holding the limp, lifeless body of my wife close to my chest. I refused to look at her face. My last memory of her would not be of that grotesque smile like my early victims. No, I was not a monster, she made sure of that. I had my humanity and I was only the champion because of her. She never really understood that she was the one that saved me, not the other way around. In the end, however, it was her final request for me to be her champion and so I did as I always did, tried my best to be worthy of her love.

I kissed the top of her head and sobbed hard, choking out my final words to her, ”Rest now my love. I did it. I saved you.”
