Chapter 4

Myka was on her way to the living room when she ran into Leena,

" that's Artie gone now, are you sure you'll be alright here on your own when I leave" leena asked giving Myka conserned look

" Leena I'll be fine, and I'm not on my own now anyway, Helena's here, so go enjoy your christmas, I'm fine really" Myka said smiling at Leena

" okay then, can you give me a hand down with my cases"

" sure" Myka laughed

"you know your only going for two weeks not two months?"

" I know, I know I just like to be prepared" leena smiled

When leena left Myka curled up on the sofa and began to read. A short while later Helena came in with two mugs of tea and a book tucked under her arm, handing a cup to Myka she sat down,

" Myka I couldn't help but noticing the lack of noise, where is everybody?" Helena asked with a puzzled look on her face.

" it's christmas each year one of us stays here while the rest go home or away for the holidays they won't be back for another two weeks"

" o well that explains it then, does it not bother you not being able to go home for the holidays?"

" No" Myka answered bluntly

Helena sensed Myka's growing discomfort at where this was going so changed the subject.

" so... Do you have a favourite author Myka" Helena said with a knowing smile. A deep blush appeared over Myka, as she stuttered out a reply

" I... I do believe... You know the answer to that Miss Wells"

"actually I don't believe I do miss bearing" Helena replied coyly, leaning over and taking the book from Myka's hand.

" well now what do we have here THE TIME MACHINE BY HG WELLS, I wonder Whether that's who your favourite author is ?" As Helena brandished the book about the post-it fell out of the back, Myka leaped to grab before Helena could see she it, but Helena beat her to it,

" well, well miss bearing what do we have here" Helena said as she turned over the paper, she saw Myka putting her head in her hands, Helena rellised then what she was holding before she even read it, she turned to Myka suddenly

" you kept it, it's been months but you kept it" Myka nodded as a blush appeared over her, Helena then dropped the book and note and pulled Myka into her kissing her, running her hands through Myka's soft curls pushing her back on to the sofa, hearing Myka groaning in both pleasure and anticipation, helenas hands moved down Myka's body to the edge of her t-shirt and they began to slide under her shirt moving up her ribcage then cupping her breasts, helenas fingers toyed with the Peaks that were begining to form under the fabric of Myka's bra, Helens hands continued on thier upwards journey removing Myka's shirt in the process, as her mouth traced the path her hands had previously taken Helena noticed scars across Myka's chest and stomach she gently ran her finger over them causing Myka to bolt up and pull back suddenly, knocking Helena on the floor in the process she quickly got up and raced out of the room. once again leaving Helena very confused and unsure of what to do.

After a few moments Helena went in search of Myka, she went up to the bedroom and knocked on the door, opening it she found Myka on the bed sobbing, Helena rushed to Myka and put her hand on her shoulder but Myka pulled away,

" please... Leave...me...I... Nee...need... To be... On my...own" Myka whispered through the few shuttering breaths she took, Helena looked in to Myka's eyes and saw the raw pain behind them, the pain she knew all to well about, but now was not about her she knew what Myka needed and that was not to be left alone, she had been alone enough already and that clearly wasnt working, not that Helena expected it to, she knew that support was what she needed as much as she herself told people to leave her alone, all she wanted was support and help. So Helena slid onto the bed behind Myka and put her arms around her, Myka began to pull away again,but Helena wouldn't let her go, she just held tight, eventually Myka relented and turned into face Helena, with Helena pulling her close.

Helena held Myka until she fell alseep totally drained from events of the last few days, Helena gently slid her arm out from under Myka and pulled the blacket up around her.

Helena left the bedroom and went in seach of her laptop she found it in the dinning room, then she googled

"Myka orphlia Bearing" no results to match

So she tried "Myka Bearing" no results to match

"This is very peculiar" Helena thought to herself her laptop was linked in the the warehouse data base, and it's telling her nothing, she knew then this had be tampered with, somebody had erased Myka from existence,

"who could do that?" Helena wondered aloud.

" I think you already know the answer to that one miss wells" Mrs fredrick said sitting on the chair facing Helena

" gosh, you really have to stop doing that!" Helena said clutching her chest

"And you really need to be less inquisitive, but we can't all get what we want miss wells" Irene said looking over he glasses.

" why" Helena asked

" you know I cant tell you that miss wells it is up to miss bearing to tell you about her past if she chooses to do so" Irene said looking down through her glasses at Helena.

" yes, I understand that, but there is nothing it's like she didn't even exist before the warehouse" Helena pleaded with the women,

"I've said all im going to day in the matter miss wells" and with that she got up and walked out.
