| "We all make mistakes," Methos said. "God knows I have made my fair share. I have been thinking a lot about that lately, Helen, and I have decided that if I expect the world to give me a second chance, than I owe you a second chance as well. Otherwise I would be a little hypocritical." "This does not mean that I've forgotten what you've done. I loved Aikaterna and the baby. I will never forget them. But what it means is this. I am willing to try to work past it if you are." She was so taken aback by his words that she just started to cry. Methos took her into his arms and immediately started comforting her. "Please don't cry, love. You were supposed to be happy." "I am happy, Methos. I just can't believe it." She said. "I never stopped loving you." He said. "But you hurt me immensely." "I want you to know how very sorry I am." She said. "I know, love." Methos said. "That's why I'm here. I pledged my heart and soul to you Helen. For as long as I live. Even when I was mad enough to kill you I still loved you." Helen managed a smile. "I have to go Helen. I need some time to sort all of this out. I'll bet the feeling is mutual." He said. She nodded. "I'm sorry about Caterine," He said. "I hope you find the one who did this to her." "I will," She said. "If I do not survive the challenge, will you go after him, (or her.)" She said. "Of course I will Helen." Methos said. "That goes without saying. He kissed her gently on the lips and parted. It was a bittersweet moment, but it was what she had prayed for, because, as Helen had discovered over the centuries, life was not worth living if he wasn't a part of it. Previous |
