Emily's POV

I woke up early ( around 6:30am), too excited about seeing Jacob again. To pass the time I grabbed my book William Shakespeare's Henry the 8th. It has always been my favorite. I go to the kitchen table with my book and read.  About 2 hours later, I get to the part where Mary Boleyn had King Henry's baby, and Anne Boleyn tries to get King Henry to marry her. I was interrupted by my uncle.

" Ah, Emily your up early," Aleck says.

" Yeah, I couldn't fall back asleep," uncle looks at what I am reading.

" Ah, William Shakespeare's Henry the 8th, you like Shakespeare?"

" Oh yes I do," I say, " He is my favorite play write, mother always took me to see his plays when they were being performed," I smile. Thinking of a happy time with her comforts me.

" Well we are just going to go see one of his plays now would we," see says.

" Really?" I ask happily.  He nods and I hug him. Mary make us breakfast and I eat with glee. After I was done eating I continued to read my book. About an hour later I got to the part where Anne Boleyn married King Henry. Then I heard a knock at the door. Uncle Aleck got it.

" Ah, Jacob," uncle says," Why are you hear?"

" I am hear to show Emily more of London," he says." Is she hear?"

" Yes, but she is absorbed in her book," I look up and I get up and I greet Jacob." Wow you 2 became friends fast,"

" Actually, I enjoy Jacob's company," I say.

" And as do I," Jacob says smiling." Well we best get going," I nod and before leaving I give uncle Aleck a hug. Jacob walks me to the carriage and opens the door for me. " Don't worry this time I'll drive more carefully," 

" So are we really going to see London again?" I ask.

" No," he responds," We are going to go to a local pub,"

" Oh, really a pub, Jacob you are being creative, usually a man brings a women to the park or have a picnic," I say surprised.

" Do you not want to go to a pub?" Jacob asks.

" No, it's not that, I mean I just didn't expect a pub," I say," It actually very creative, and original," After a few minutes we arrive at a random pub. We walk in and I see a lot of drinking men. Me and Jacob sit on a bar stool.

"Emily, what would you like? Jacob asks me.

" A beer is fine," I say. I never actually drank before, besides dinner wine at my home in Scotland.

" 2 beers, for me and the lady," Jacob says to the bartender. He nods and hand us our beer, and Jacob pays him. I take a drink from beer. I tasted the bitterness of it and I cough. Jacob laughs." You never had a beer before?" I just shake my head. I take  another sip and it tasted a little better.

" It's good," I say. I gradually got used to the taste. Jacob kisses my hand. Then I hear 3 people. When I turn around I see 3 men in red, 1 big man that looks like he could crush you with his arms, and 2 smaller men who look weaker than the big man. I turn to Jacob." Jacob, who are they," he turns around and sees them.

" Oh.... the Blighters," he says, " There one of London's gangs, well you can says that the only gangs in London are my Rook's and the Blighter's," he explains.

" Will they come after you?" I ask worried.

" No, I took most of their barrows, they basically now fear me and my Rooks," The big Blighter turns to us.

" Hey, there's that Frye boy," he says while coming after us.

" Well maybe not all of them," he says while getting up. He grabs me," Run!, he yells to me . But he stays behind in the street, fighting the Blighters. " Keep running he yells at me. So I keep running until I don't hear the sounds of the fighting. I pant. About 4 minutes I hear someone running. I look behind the wall I was behind, and I see Jacob running with a bunch of police men running after him. Jacob sees me and grabs me. I laugh. We keep running through the ally. Until the cops were out of sight and Jacob pulled me to a side ally and he pushed me against the wall with his body covering mine and his palms pressed up against the wall. The police men run passed us. I breath heavy and I laugh.

" That was close," he says.

" Yeah," I agree. Jacob looks at me and leans in for a kiss. I cup his face and his hands land on my hips. I let out a groan. Jacob pulls away.

" What an exciting first date, would you say,"  Jacob says. I laugh.

" We should go before the cops figure out where we are," I say.

" Yeah," Jacob takes me back to my uncle's shop, when we get there I see 2 other carriages there. I get out of Jacob's carriage to go inside the shop. Jacob follows. When I got inside I see 5 Blighters, talking to Aleck.

" Give us the blue prints Bell," a Blighter brute says.

" Crawford Starrick  wants those prints," a smaller one says as he pulls out a knife. I need to help my uncle. I remember my brother teaching me how to use a gun when I was younger. I was actually very good with a gun.  I see Jacob's gun on his belt. I grab it before Jacob could stop me. I run to my uncle's side. I point the gun at the Blighters.

" Ah, look at this boys," the brute laughs," this little girl thinks she can use that thing, get her," a smaller Blighter gets a knife out. I shoot the gun at the knife meaning to hit. Once the Blighter was disarmed they all looked shocked including Aleck and Jacob.

" You little bitch!" the smaller Blighter says, I point the gun at him.

" I missed on purpose, don't think I'll do it twice," I say as calmly as I can. The brute comes after me so I shot him in the arm. He yells in pain.

" Lets get out of here before she does kill us," a Blighter yells, then they run not before Jacob shots them all. Their bodies fall to the ground outside the shop. My uncle stood in his shop shocked.

" You know how to use a gun?" my uncle asks shocked. I nod.

" Yeah, my bother  taught me a few years back and I never stopped practicing," I say.

" Ah Erik, I haven't seen him since your mother's funeral," he says," How is he?"

" From what I know he is doing fine," I miss my older brother we used to do everything together. Jacob walks in after he cleans up the bodies.

" Wow!," he says. I laugh," Who knew Aleck, your niece can shoot," I laugh.

"  Well uncle, at least you know I can take care of myself," Uncle Aleck laughs.

" Well bye Aleck," Aleck nods at him. Jacob leaves and I follow him.

" Well Emily, is there anything else that I should know about you?" Jacob asks.

" Well I can fight a little," I say.

" So you know how to use a gun and you can fight," Jacob says astonished," Wow, not many woman know how to do those things,"

" Well my brother taught me those things," I explain," He was always worried that I would get hurt,"

" Well I better get going, if I'm not on the train soon Evie will kill me," he starts to leave.

" Jacob, forgetting something," I smile. He grins and he pull me close for a kiss. Then he leaves and I walk back inside the shop. I hear my stomach growl.

" Uncle, are you hungry?" I ask while walking to the stove.

" Oh, yes Emily," Aleck says," You cook?" I nod

" Mother taught me," I get a little sad again. Uncle looks depress too.

" So Emily, you are spending a lot of time with Jacob," he says to lighten up the mood.

" Yeah, he is becoming a good friend," well that wasn't a total lie.

" If I didn't know better, I would say he likes you," I laugh trying no to sound nerves.

" Oh me, no"
