"He periodically sent me videos containing scenes from the television show about us to me over a period of three months. But the truth was, he didn't need to continually send me anything. The first one he sent me was more than enough to send me into a fit of paranoia. It was a paranoia that only grew exponentially, and he was breaking me down. I did everything I could to keep Emily's existence from his knowledge because like Hell was I going to suffer losing a second daughter." Suddenly, Helena's voice took on a sharp edge. It was evidence to how deeply affected she had been by the whole situation, and also evidence to how deeply she cared about Emily. "But he had his spies and he found out about Emily. He called her a replacement as if one could just simply replace another human being." Her tone was getting a bit more agitated and her pacing a bit more insistent. "At that point, he knew I was living in the complex, and so I took Emily and went into hiding. I stayed at a friend's house in the city, having been taken there by Clark so Moriarty didn't know where I was. In an attempt to find out, or perhaps to get ahold of Emily, he sent Gaia to the complex dressed as me. She encountered you and you outed her as being in league with Moriarty. But that failure only led him to worse paths."
Suddenly, she stopped pacing and looked at Myka. "He killed Irene and cut out her heart and sent it and her riding crop to the complex as a warning. But he was still coming after me because after I had insanely told him precisely how I killed Christina's murderers, he offered me a way out, he wouldn't hurt me or Emily if I killed someone for him the way I'd killed Christina's murderers. I declined. I would not sacrifice the last remnants of my soul to fall back into the darkness that is inside of me. Oh and to put it into perspective, this was happening two weeks before the anniversary of Christina's death." And that is where she paused, finally, trying to get herself back under some measure of control. Her emotions were broiling. She never had gone into detail about these events before, and talking about them, especially about Moriarty, well, that made her angry all over again. There was a very good reason why if Myka looked in her book collection she wouldn't find the Sherlock Holmes stories. Helena had hidden them away in one of the secret nooks in her room, not wishing to come across them on accident.
