Never Forgotten (A Sleepy Hollow Fanfic)

Chapter One

A/N: This takes place after the Season 3 finale. So if you haven't seen it-SPOILERS! Also, a quick note on the spelling of "lieutenant." While doing some research, I found that whether it is being pronounced "lu-tenant" or "lef-tenant" it is spelled as "lieutenant" Kay, enjoy reading!🤓

Sleepy Hollow, NY

Ichabod Crane sat on a bed in what had been his house, no, his home. It wasn't his bed he sat on, but that of Abbie Mills. In his hand was his cellular phone. He had watched the same video hundreds of times in the three weeks following Abbie's death. It was the one that she had recorded of trying to show him how the camera worked. If it weren't for that video, Katrina would've succeeded in killing Abbie. And yet...
He sighed, he had let Pandora play them. If only he hadn't, Abbie still would've been alive. He wished desperately that Abbie was here now, but there is no way to bring a person back from the dead.
Besides, they weren't out of the woods with the apocalypse yet.
Ichabod heard the doorbell ring, and rushed to answer it. Maybe the house finally had a buyer. He opened the door and saw Jenny standing there.
"Hey Crane," she greeted, stepping into the house.
"Miss Jenny, how are you?"
"I'm doing okay," she sighed,"I mean, considering..."
Crane nodded sympathetically. They had both lost someone that was important to them during the Hidden One's rising.
"Listen," she said,"I need to get my mind off of Joe, and we both need to get our minds off of Abby. And I doubt sitting in her room staring at pictures of her is going to help."
"How did you know that?" Crane glanced behind himself quickly before looking back at Jenny.
"Trust me, I know because I've been doing the same thing."
Crane sighed sadly again,"I-I just can't help but think that there was some way that I could've saved the Lieutenant. Perhaps there was something-"
"Crane, there was no way. You said that she told you herself, her work on this planet was done. She was ready to go."
"Yes, I understand, but-"
"Crane, she told you that she was ready. I know it's hard, but you have to keep on living. You can't run back to England this time. You have things to do here."
Crane nodded,"Yes, Sleepy Hollow is still in danger."
Jenny put a hand on his arm,"Why don't we go do something fun tonight? You know, like," Jenny stopped herself. She had almost said,'Just like old times." But, she couldn't bring herself to finish her statement. It was too soon.
Crane smiled slightly, reluctantly as he responded, "Very well. Where do you propose we go, Miss Jenny?"

Long Island, NY

Sarafina George was sitting on her bed. She felt strange, it had been like this for three weeks. She woke up one night, feeling very strange. She didn't feel like herself. It was almost as if someone else was in her as well as herself. She felt things that she's hadn't felt the morning before, and she didn't know the people her mind was shouting at.
Sarafina could take sort out her thoughts in anyway that made sense. She hated someone named Pandora. She harbored a fear that someone called The Hidden One would escape from the box of afore mentioned d Pandora. She wanted to comfort her sister, Jenny, although she was an only child. And she felt that she couldn't live without a British guy named Ichabod Crane. What kind of a name was that anyway? It's like someone's last name being Albatross or Stork or Ostrich. But all the same, she needed to see this Crane, to be with him.
Sarafina ran to the door, grabbing her car keys on the way. She jumped into her car and turned on the navigation. Her senses were all pointing to one place, a place she had never been before. Inhaling a deep breath, she typed into the car's keyboard:
