Chapter 6

Charlotte's POV

We all watch mum go into the train. Father takes in a deep breath and closes his, as if he is fighting the urge to go after her. I hug him he hugs me back and kisses the top of my head.

Mother's train then leaves, and Father looks at all of us. I go stand by Garrett. I see him holding a news paper. I snatch out of his hands. Garrett scoffs.

"Could it hurt to say 'please'?" Garrett asks me, clearly not happy that I took his paper. Then I read it and I see something disturbing, on of Jack the Ripper's letters. I hold out the newspaper to Father.

"I think you should take a look at this," I tell him. He takes the newspaper, he reads it.

"Dammit!" Father exclaim angrily, "This is the third letter this Mr. Weaversbrook published!" I look at him. Garrett hands him another one.

"You mean fourth, read this letter," Garrett tells him. Father starts to read the newspaper. Then Father has a look of shock on his face.

"I haven't read this one," Father tells us, "This one is about Charlotte, 'Little Lottie,' her nickname," Father looks at Garrett, "Why wasn't this brought to my attention?"

"Charlotte didn't want to tell you!" Garrett defends himself. I look at him with agitation on my face.

"Seriously!" I yell at him.

"Charlotte! Jack the Ripper is more than likely going to target you!" Father scolds me. I slightly glance over at Damien, he stiffen a little bit, "Why didn't you tell me?!"

"I'm sorry I didn't want you to worry, Father," I tell him. Father places his hand on my cheek.

"You just can't keep secrets like that from family," Father tells me. I nod understanding what he is saying, "Well, anyway, I suspect that Jack the Ripper will strike again soon, so Garrett, Adam, and Charlotte I want you three to meet me tonight, at where all of the abandon carts are," We all nod, "Damien, Natalie I want you both to just watch the streets tonight, make sure that civilians are in there homes," They both nod.

"Yes, Mentor," both Damien and Natalie say. Father nods, and he leaves us. I make a fake smile and I look at Garrett.

"Thank you dearest brother," I say sarcastically to Garrett. Garrett rolls his eyes.

"What! You wouldn't tell him, I did it myself!" Garrett defends himself.

"You had no right to!" I yell at him.

"Stop it! Both of you!" Adam yells at us. I look at Adam, "Look what's done is done, let's just forget about what happened and move on," Garrett scoffs.

"Yes Uncle Henry," Garrett points out how much Adam acts like Uncle Henry. Adam rolls his eyes.

"Look a sibling quarrel," Natalie whispers to Damien, Damien chuckles a little.

"Yeah, Garrett and Charlotte remind me of Jacob and Evie," Damien tells her. I look at Damien.

"How so?" I ask him.

"Well, it's noticeable when you two fight," Damien tells me. I then think back to seeing Aunt Evie and Father's arguments with each other.

"Good God we do!" I say while laughing, "And Uncle Henry has always been there to break them up!" Everyone laughs.

"Like Adam did just now!" Damien laughs out.

"Speaking of Aunt Evie, didn't Father send her a letter?" Adam asks me.

"Yes, uh, I believe the letter said that he needed her help with the Jack the Ripper investigation," I tell him.

"I still don't see why Father needs her help," Garrett says, "I mean Father has us," Natalie looks at Garrett.

"She knows more about this kind of stuff than we do," Natalie tells him. Garrett sighs.

"Well I'm off to a pub," Garrett tells all of us, "Do any of you care to join me?" Adam and Natalie nod, "What about you Damien?" Damien shakes his head.

"No, I'm still trying to recover from last night's drinking," Damien tells him. Garrett smirks.

"Have it your way then," Garrett says. Garrett, Adam and Natalie run off to a random pub. I look up at Damien.

"Do you really think I act like my Aunt Evie," I ask him. Damien looks at me.

"When you and Garrett fight, yes," I lower my eyes, Damien pushes my chin up gently so I was looking into his blue eyes, "I think it's cute," I smile. Damien leans down and he kisses me.

Jack the Ripper's POV

I watch them from a far away rooftop. Damien kisses her. Charlotte should be mine and no one else's. I came up with her nickname when we were children, since then everyone called her 'Little Lottie'.

Tonight I will kill two more. Tonight Jacob will fall under my blade. Tonight Charlotte will know my pain.

"If I can't have her, no one can,"
