I Remember You Not Fondly ~ Part Nineteen

I Remember You Not Fondly ~ Part Eighteen

( The group had transported up to the 'Scotia' just before the dawn; Triona not wanting to set foot in the Alqualondë again. In the brightly-lit transporter room, Methos was finally able to get a good look at his wife, and what he saw shocked him. Even though he'd tried to prepare himself for what he would find when he made it back home, the reality of it hit him hard. )

Sorry this part took so long, but it was kicking my patootie! Damn stubborn muses! But finally, here it is. Thank you for you continuing patience. It's not the last part, but I think there's at most one, maybe two before the end. Despite that, I think everyone will be happy at the end of this part [g]

I Remember You Not Fondly ~ Part Seventeen

( Lucien LaCroix gently undid her bonds, the ancient Roman vampire handling her like she was the most delicate porcelain. All the while, he murmured endearments in French and Latin until she was finally free. As he gathered her in his arms, she began to sob, her body heaving. )

I Remember You Not Fondly ~ Part Sixteen

( Curled on the bed like an abandoned cat, Triona struggled to maintain her sense of self. It was a fight made all the more difficult by the fact that the last thing she wanted to do was remember what had happened here. When what she really wanted was to flee to some safe corner of her mind where there was no more pain, no more terror. She knew she must have told him everything he wanted to know -- in the end. Just like he’d said she would. Just as he’d promised she would. )

Go me! Two parts posted this week. The muse is being very cooperative, albeit scary, but whatever works. I hope you enjoy it, and in case you were wondering, yes, we're finally reaching the end. Only a few more parts to go. I appreciate you sticking with me this far, so thank you.

I Remember You Not Fondly ~ Part Fifteen

( Triona pressed up against the bulkhead at the very edge of the bed, while the man who wore her husband’s face poured dark amber liquid into a glass. She was surprised when he reached across the bed to hand the glass to her. )

Had you given up on me? I know it's been a while. But believe it or not I'd have written another part if I didn't have to go to bed! The Muse is cooperating! Thanks for all your patience. I appreciate it more than you know. And I hope you like this next part.

I Remember You Not Fondly ~ Part Fourteen

( Methos sat on a ridge overlooking the alien device that had brought him to this hell. Would he ever make it back home? Doubt had begun to seep into every corner of his mind. He was used to being in control of whatever situation he found himself in, but this was different; here, he had absolutely none. Rarely in his life had he felt so powerless. )

I'm listening to my new music, and Penelope's Song by Loreena McKennitt just started. For those of you reading 'I Remember You Not Fondly', this was the song I was thinking of during the part where Triona has been burning in the sun and hears music as she comes back to life. The lyrics seemed fitting somehow.

( Now that the time has come Soon gone is the day There upon some distant shore You'll hear me say )

I think it works as a song that fits the story overall. Don't you think?

I Remember You Not Fondly ~ Part Thirteen

( Triona paced the length of the lounge and back again. There was something, at the edge of her thoughts, which she knew would be the answer to sending ‘him’ away and getting Methos back. )
