Silence, then, as she stared at that hand, the same hand that had pulled her into the fountain. She shook her head, water droplets flying.

"What are you talking about?" Piper demanded. "I never.... I never sent for you. I've never met you. I don't even know you."

"You didn't need to meet me. I came here so you could."

She motioned to the fountain.

"For the baptism. You can start fresh. Clean."

"Baptism?" She laughed, a manic sound that tore from her throat as she stumbled backwards.

"Baptism. Right. This might SURPRISE you, but you can't BAPTISE me. You'd have to use Christ's own fucking blood."

She laughed again, grabbing at her neck until her fingers found the chain, fingers wrapping around it for comfort.

She just smiles patiently. Waiting.

She continued to shake her head, rubbing her hands up and down her arms, trying to relax. "You're bloody ridiculous. Ridiculous..."

She tilts her head to the side. The smile never leaving her lips.

"It's okay. I forgive you."

"You don't GET to forgive me!" she snapped. It would be sudden if not for the fact that their entire conversation seemed to have Piper on edge, so much so that it was a surprise she hadn't swung again after the girl let her go. "You are in no PLACE to forgive me!"

She makes soft shushing and cooing noises like one would to a child.

"It's okay to feel Sarah. I forgive you." She reiterates.

Everything in her froze, then. She knew it had only been about a week, but it felt like so much longer than that, like it had been an eternity since anybody had called her that. Even in Australia, only the church called her Sarah... The name... It brought with it so many memories.

Against her will, she slipped downwards, towards the ground, onto her hands and knees. Things seemed to overrun her. "Sarah... I'm not Sarah... My name is not Sarah."

She doesn't say anything and instead slowly circles around Piper. Being cautious so she wouldn't spook her. Like one would with a scared and wounded animal.

Piper doesn't bother to get up, kneeling there in the dirt and grass. "How?" she murmured. "How do you know? Why do you know?"

She would slowly kneel behind Piper and put an arm around her again. If she let her she'd pull her close and gently start stroking her hair, once more with shushing noises.

"I saw it happen."

Despite herself, she let the girl hold her, trying to calm her as the tears came. She tried not to cry, but right then, there was no stopping it. Her shoulders shook with the sobs.

"S-saw it? How? Nobody saw it... N-nobody except..."

She'd just hold her close and begin to hum softly.

The humming and her soft sobs were, for some time, the only thing that broke the silence. She clung to the girl's arm around her with one hand and her necklace with the other.

Fiona seemed content to stay there as long as Sarah needed. The humming constantly looping and never stopping. Though Fiona's eyes would be fixed some ways off to the distance. Looking at something far away and yet to come.

When at last she had calmed down, Piper just laid there, wrapped in this stranger's arms, trying to get her thoughts in order. Sarah... Most people didn't even know that name, anymore.

Finally, she was calm, quieted to just sniffles. Then, she looked up at her. "Who are you?" She asked, again.

"Your friend."

She'd rest her chin on top of Sarah's head, her eyes still staring off at the distance.

"I don't... Have any friends..." She said, brokenly, as she thought about Angel and Aaron, about Rebecca and the others she had met since her arrival. They were her friends... Weren't they?

Her lips curled into a knowing smile. She'd speak in a low tone with a singsong rhythm.

"The strangers, welcome you. They touch your soul. Let them into your mind... Let me into...."

She trailed off blinking.

"Into what?" She asked, unable to avoid the sarcasm. "You're already in my memory."

She shook her head trying to clear away the cobwebs.

"Hmmm?"

She started to straighten herself up, then, things seeming to fall into place. "That's your power, isn't it? You can read memories?"

"Hmm," Piper mutters, beginning to pull herself away from Fiona. She wiped at her face with the back of her hand, trying to gain her composure.
