Orphans Beloved-"Unforgettable …"
Summary: Like my Immortal Beloved and Sheldon Swifties bits in my Buffyverse and Sheldon verse stories, these are fragments and short bits, some longer…Just to fiddle with ideas, possibly forming longer tales later.

Luxury apartment of Rachel Duncan…
Music on stereo…Nat King Cole… "Unforgettable…"
"Unforgettable…That's what you are…"
"So then…Sarah?" Helena seated on the floor before the fireplace, to a slowly recovering Sarah beside her. "You want more coffee?"
"What? Yeah, sure…" she blinked at the figure now in one of Rachel's suits. Both having agreed it was time the Rosen-soaked bridal dress be put away, though Sarah simply nodding to Helena's suggestion that she change. Helena rising eagerly.
"It's very good. Seestra Rachel has nice place, don't she…Evil pays well, no? Kidding…" wan smile…
"I guess…" nervous sigh. "So…They had you in some farm place…Friends of Tomas who took you from the hospital."
"Hmmn…I don't thinks they are true friends. I think they killed him…Tomas would never give me or hunting seestras up. They are extra-crazy Proleithians." Helena re-entered from the kitchen, bearing a mug. Sigh at the covered body on floor as she passed.
Well, slight break of my vow to kill no more…But was self-defense. I did spare crazy daughter of crazy farmer doctor.
"Nice…That's just what's needed." Sarah sighed.
"Unforgettable…Though near or far…"
"Yes…" Sigh. "Very crazy peoples…Big guy smart though, I think he is scientist, he had a laboratoire…Lab. Not so crazy religious as Tomas, I think. Here." She handed refilled mug to Sarah.
"We'd best think about leavin' after this…Thanks" Sarah noted, taking mug. "We don't want to be caught here."
"Phone says seestra is still enroute back…" Helena sat with her own mug. "We be fine for now. You need settle nerves, yes? Anyone come. 'Yes, underguy? I have situation well in my hand…Go!'" she affected Rachel's accent.
"Not too shabby…"
"Thanks you…" wry grin. "Not so crazy religious as Tomas and crazy Helena, you think…"
"Helena…" Sarah rubbed her forehead. "I don't know what to think now."
"I killed Mama…And you will hate me for that forever, I know." Quiet tone, stare at fire…
"Like a song of love…That clings to me…How the thought of you does things to me…"
"But Mama saved me…Has forgiven me…" she said quietly. "No excuses…" she eyed Sarah. "I will burn for my crimes…One day. But Mama came in my torments…Called to me. Told me I was reborn, to atone. Said…Run, my Helena…Fly from these evil people. And I run, I flee…And there he was…Like Jesus, standing alone, in field…"
Sarah, staring at her…
"Never before…Has someone been more…"
"Mama sent him, seestra…He stopped them…The ones coming for me…He made them give up their weapons. Standing there, no weapons, no 'back-up'. My heart, it trembled for him, watching. Of course, I knew him…And I knew he came for you…And for the love of seestra Beth. But Mama sent him, to help me. The knight, noble like Arthur of legends, who loved seestra Beth so, he risked his career that day with Maggie, always protected, but said no word of love to her. And seeks to protect us now, for her memory." She eyed the flames.
"Art?" Sarah stared.
"…Unforgettable…"
My Art? She eyed Helena…
