Chapter 4
sorry it took so long Hope you enjoy!:)
Myka slowly opened her eyes, taking in her surroundings. She was in her room, looking over at the clock she saw it was 3:00am. What in the world. She sat up slightly her ears adjusting to the silence. Well she thought it was silence until she heard the crying. Helena was literally sobbing next to her clutching the sheets like a life line.
"Helena..." She whispered shaking her "Helena it's just a dream...Helena?"
Myka started to panic she wasn't waking up."Helena! Come on its just a dream...wake up"
HG didn't wake up of course. She shifted a little grabbed onto Myka, and the tears subsided.
"Mykes?"
Myka's head snapped up "Pete!" Then the memories came flooding back. "Your sooo dead in the morning"
"...good to know, I'm glad your awake"
"What are you doing in here!"
"Waiting for you guys to wake up...Claudia woke up a few hours ago."
"Thanks Pete" she said with a smile." Now tell me about the painting."
"In the morning" Pete yawned "I'm tired"
Myka was about to comment when Helena shifted again. She felt the tears on her shoulder and looked back at Pete.
"Pete... Does the painting affect your memories.."
"Ya..."
"Henry Fuseli" Myka whispered staring back down at HG.
"How'd you know?"
"I read about it in the artifact manifest...O gosh poor Helena..."
"You and Claud were affected to"
"She's been alive for 146 years and the memories include hearing the thoughts that ran through your head..."
"Ok I admit this is worse than I thought."
"Pete!"
"Ok ok sorry... Why don't you get some actual sleep" she said standing.
"Ok... Night Pete"
"Night" he said closing the door.
Myka looked down at the agent in her arms again, before laying back down.
"Artie...Artie!" Christina whispered.
"Wha- what happened."
"We need to leave before the battle begins"
"Battle? The sun hasn't even come up yet..." He groaned.
"Artie!"
"Fine I'm up I'm up."
"Good" Christina said "I'll be outside"
A few minutes later the sun began to rise and Artie was out the door.
"O I was hoping to avoid this" Christina muttered, looking at the a plain in the town where both armies stood.
"This is the actual Battle" Artie whispered "the beginning of war.."
"Yes"
"Throw down your arms! Ye villains, ye rebels." The British captain yelled.
They watched as the militia was ordered to spread out.
"The first shot..." Artie said, realizing what they were about to witness.
"Nobody knows who fired it correct?" Christina asked realizing something totally different
"Right..."
"Artie" she said changing her weapon from tesla to gun. "Here fire it"
"What?" He asked.
"Just do it!"
"It'll attract attention" he countered.
"We'll be gone before they can look now please Artie shoot the gun!"
"Fine!" Artie yelled grabbing the gun and aiming at the ground. He fired and the war broke out. Christina grabbed his arm and and pulled out her teleporter.
When they arrived! wherever they were, Artie immediately looked at his surroundings and was about to speak. When Christina's hand shot over his mouth and she shook her head frantically. Puting a finger to her lips she removed her hand.
"What" he mouthed.
"Agents of Warehouse 11 do not only retrieve artifacts" she whispered,
"Yes they used to also guard the warehouse" Artie replied looking around at the structure of the building, seeing it his eyes went wide"This is Warehouse 11! What are we doing here!"
"Agent Neilson quite please. Guards" she snapped.
"But were agents"
"Yes well currently Warehouse 11 sees me as an threat"
"Why!"
"... There was a...minor... explosion - the fact of the matter is I'm an enemy of the Warehouse 11 in 1775."
"Do all you Wells go through that phase." Artie grunted.
"Please Uncle Charles is harmless."
"How comforting"
"Yes - now we must find a place for these." Christina whispered holding up the canister.
Steve walked up stairs, finally tired of Pete and Claudia's everlasting "I can fit the most food in my mouth" battle. He sought out mature company and so he went to hang with Myka. He knocked on the door, hearing a come in he did just that. She was in a chair next to the bed reading a book.
"Hey" he said.
"Hey... What were they shoving in their mouths this time"
"Slices of bread" Steve replied walking further into the room.
Myka made a face and set her book down.
"So...she getting any better?" He asked looking over at HG.
" She tried to walk through the wall earlier so I guess she's getting close..."
"O right when she was a hologram?"
"Ya.."
"Steve!" Claudia yelled from downstairs. "We need you to come judge!"
Steve sighed "Duty calls".
Myka nodded and picked up her book.
It didn't make any sense that shed be seeing this, but she was. Emily Lake screamed as Pete came running into her classroom tesla aimed.
"O really" Helena sighed "this is just embarrassing the least you could have done was stand your ground it's your room after all."
The scene shifted and she was being hauled away by Marcus and Steve. They drove to the hanger in silence, Emily was obviously terrified. She was even more so as they tied her up, and began to yell at her.
H.G did have sympathy for the woman, but she was also relived for this break in memories where she didn't have to experience the pain and fear.
It was now noon and Myka was still reading and waiting.
She heard a rustle from her left, and immediately shut her book. HG sat up quickly eyes wide awake and alert.
"Helena.." Myka whispered.
HG was panting, as she struggled to find her breathing pattern.
"Deep breaths" Myka said, sitting on the bed. "In- Out - in - out"
Helena followed the other woman's instructions. "Thank you" she managed.
"How do you feel" she asked.
"Not sure yet"
Myka laughed "Ok then... You want anything to eat or drink."
"Some tea would be nice" Helena said attempting to stand.
Myka put an arm around her waist to steady her. HG welcomed the support as she made her way to the stairs.
They were at the top step, when the door to the B&B snapped open.
"There had better be a reason that nobody is at the warehouse!" Artie shouted walking in followed by Christina.
Claudia came running and stopped when she saw their cloths"Somebody get a camera!" She said with a smile.
"Aww look at little Artie in his Sunday best" Pete said.
"How was your trip?" Steve asked.
"Wonderful" Christina said with a smile.
"Long" Artie said stubbornly.
"You were only gone for like 2 days" Pete said
"What's wrong Artie did you not enjoy visiting your childhood?" Claudia grinned.
"Why are you not at the warehouse!"
"Well...I kinda.." Pete began.
"There was this painting-"
"And this cloud-"
"Then they got knocked out-".
"And so they were all nightmared up" Pete finished.
Christina and Artie stared back confused. Then Lenna walked in. "Henry Fuseli - the Nightmare"
"O my" Christina whispered.
"Who all was affected" Artie demanded.
"Claud, HG, and Mykes."
"Is everyone awake?" He asked.
"They are now." Myka stated coming down the stairs.
"HG your awake!" Claudia shouted.
"Yes darling, I'm awake and in dire need of a cup of tea"
"I'll get" Lenna said heading back for the kitchen.
Christina ran over to hug her mother. Helena of course hugged her back reminding herself, she's alive - she's alive.
"How was your mission love?"
" Successful"
"Good, you must tell me everything"
"Me too!" Claudia said snapping a picture of Artie.
"I'm going to change" he grunted turning for the door.
"Hey kid let me get you some cloths" Claudia said running up stairs "don't start without me I want ta hear every one of grumpy pants embarrassing details!"
"That can be arranged" Christina said with a smile, be for adjusting her dress and muttering. "Foolish dress"
"I thought you always wore dresses" Pete said.
"Pete she's from the 1890s not the 1770s"
"A dress is a dress Mykes"
" She means the dress has more layers than Christina's used too" Steve said.
"Precisely!" Christina exclaimed " not to mention Uncle Charles and Caturanga let me wear trousers while in the 19th century."
"Here ya go" Claud said handing the t-shirt and jeans to Christina. "You can just wear my stuff until you get your own clothes."
"Thank you, if you'll excuse me, ill be back shortly".
Christina returned and told the mission story, the other agents holding onto every word. The rest of the afternoon was spent relaxing as everyone tried to figure out this new normal.
Sorry this ending was rushed. Ill try and make the next story better!
