Chap.1: Abigail Roan Madden
Disclaimer: I own nothing except for Molly Madden and her history and connection with Henry. I took the idea of immortal from the TV show Highlander.
Molly felt slightly nervous as she rode in the elevator; it had been a long time since she saw Henry. She walked strait to his door after getting off the elevator. Before knocking she took a deep breath and straightened her shirt.
She knocked on the door twice and waited nervously for him to open the door.
"Come on Henry... open the door." Molly said softly
Molly felt like time had slowed down as Henry opened the door. Henry stood in front Molly feeling a little out of sorts.
"Henry Fitzroy?" Molly asked
"Yes... can I help you with something-" Henry replied
"It's me Molly... Molly Roan Madden." Molly answered
Henry eyes went as big as saucers from hearing her name.
"Are you going to let me in or am I going to stand here collecting dust?" Molly asked
"Of course come in." Henry said as he held the door open for Molly.
As Molly walked in Henry had a flash of the last time he saw Molly. She had on light green cotton dress with gold trimming and a white apron. Her black hair was tied in a low messy bun. She was a laundry maid in a small village.
Henry closed the door behind him and Molly turned around to face him.
"Molly."
"Fitzroy."
They both laughed and then hugged each other.
"It's so good to see you again Molly." Henry said he let go and looked at Abby.
"You haven't changed one bit Henry... except for the apartment and clothes. You're exactly the same since 1768." Molly said softly
Henry had a smile on his face.
"The only thing that changed about you is your hair... purple is a good shade."
"What have you been up to Henry?" Molly asked as Henry led her to one of his sofas in the living room.
"I've been writing and drawing graphic novels." Henry explained
"Art and literature was your two favourite passions."
"What about you Molly?"
"I am a bestselling author...I have books that are sold all over the world."
Abby placed a strand of hair behind her ear. Henry noticed her cheeks were slightly pink.
"That's amazing Molly... you were always excellent with literature."
"Henry I need your help with a case... oh I'm sorry." Vicky apologized as she she walked in the apartment to find Henry and Molly
"No it's okay I was just saying hello. Hello I'm Molly Madden." Molly introduced herself to Vicky.
"Molly Madden... the writer?" Vicky asked
"Have you read my books?"
"No but one of the murderers I put in prison in my cop days copied the murders you described in your book called Way of the Rose."
Molly let out a soft chuckle and sighed.
"I had fun writing that book. How do you know Henry?" Abby asked with a voice filled with curiosity.
"He saved my life and he helps me with my cases... I'm a private detective. How long have you known Henry?" Vicky asked
"A long time, listen Henry I'm going to go let you help Vicky with her case." Molly said as she got up from the couch.
"All right why don't you come back tomorrow night say 8:00 clock and we can catch up." Henry suggested to Molly as he walked to the door
"Sounds good to me... I'll see you tomorrow night then." Molly answered
She gave Henry a hug which he answered by hugging her harder. Molly broke their embrace left Henry alone with Vicky.
Henry walked back to the living room where Vicky was waiting for him.
"So how do you really know Molly Madden?" Vicky asked
Henry sat down on the sofa and passed a hand through his hair.
"Her full name is Molly Roan Madden and she was one of my past loves.-" Henry started
"Okay this I got to hear... memory lane down Henry Fitzroy's past loves. Where did you meet her and most importantly when were you together?"
"I met her in 1768 in a little English village in the countryside. She was the laundry maid and I can still remember the smell of the perfume she wore the first time I saw her." Henry explained
"Which one?" Vicky asked
"She wore a rose perfume... I always think of her when I see roses."
"Henry... is she a vampire?"
"No she's not a vampire... she's an immortal born in the year 1007."
"So is there a way she can die or she to remain on this planet we call earth?"
"There is only one way to kill an immortal."
"How?"
"You chop off her head with a sword."
Vicky gave Henry a look of disgust which caused him to chuckle softly to himself.
"Wonder why she wants to talk to you Henry."
"I've been wondering the same thing Vicky... you said you needed help with a case?"
"Yeah... This guy Duncan Merlot, his girlfriend was attacked by an animal. Now the police think a wolf escape from the zoo... I checked with the zoo none of their wolves have escaped."
"Let me guess you think it's a werewolf... don't you?"
"Well since I am now involved in the paranormal... the thought did cross my mind."
"I'll see what I can... as you say "sniff out" some information."
"Thanks Henry... call me when you have more information." Vicky answered as she got up and walked out of Henry's apartment.
Henry couldn't stop thinking of Molly; they had a beautiful romance until that day where everything went wrong. He could still picture every perfect detail in his mind.
Author's Note: So here is my first attempt at writing a Blood Ties fic... so please review and try to be gentle!!!
All the names of Molly's books do not exist and if they do it is by sheer dumb luck.
