Chapter 7

I meet Father at the abandoned carriages. He was standing there waiting for me and my brother's. Father told me that Mr Weasersbrook has more of Jack the Ripper's letters.

But my brothers never showed up. Both me and Father were becoming very impatient. Father looks around angrily.

"Charlotte, where the hell are your brothers?" Father asks me. I look at him and sigh.

"I'm sure they are on their way," I reassure him, "I bet they just lost track of time," Father sighs. We wait a little while longer. The cold of the autumn night starts to get to me.

I move my hands up and down my arms to try and warm them up. Father tries to warm up his hands with his breath. Still Garrett and Adam never showed up. I could see mine and Father's breath. Me and Father then hear two people talking. I glace over at the two men. One of them is Mr Weaversbrook.

"Get a move on, Mr Finch, this is the story of a lifetime," Weaversbrook tells Mr Finch. Me and Father quickly walk up to Weasversbrook.

"Mr Weasersbrook, I know you have more of the Ripper's letters," Father says to him. Weasersbrook glances at my father.

"I told you to stay away from me," Weaversbrook tells Father. He continues walking away from us. Father grabs onto Weaversbrook's arm. Father looks at Weaversbrook angrily.

"Stop publishing his letters... You've turned an unknown miscreant into a legend.... and that's  exactly what he wants," Father tells Weaversbrook angrily. I then hear someone running towards us. I look at the person, Nellie.

"Jacob! Charlotte! Thank God I found you," Nellie says frantically, "It's the Ripper; he's done it again," I look at Father with a shocked expression on my face. Both me and Father follow Nellie to a crowed gathered around two dead bodies. Both of the bodies has white sheetd covering them. The white sheets were coverd in blood. Nellie runs up to the bodies. Father examines the bodies of the dead women. I recognized them both, they were both Assassins.

"Katey? Oh, he can't have... and Lizzie? Not both in one night," Nellie says in shock. I hug my destrot friend. Father walks up to Nellie and he drags her away from the bodies.

"Nellie, remeber what I said," Father tellz her and he hands her a pouch with money in it, "Now go," Nellie then runs away from us. Then me and Father find a hidden note written on a wall, that could only be read by useing eagle vision.

How many more Assassins must die before you see the truth?

"Only one more, Jack," Father says. Then both me and Father run off, knowing he can't be far behind. Then both me and Father start to walk slowly. I follow my father's every move.

"I know you're  there, Jack," Father says out loud, "The master of terror is afraid to show his face, is he?" Father taunts Jack the Ripper. I look up at my father.

"Father, don't provoke him!" I nearly yell at him. Me and Father keep walking and I get the sence that someone is following us.

I let out a shaky breath. I was afraid if what would happen if we were caught by the Ripper. But the feeling becomes stronger. I guess Father feels is too because he grabs onto my arm.

"Run!" he whisper yells to me. I quickly nod my head and me and Father start running away. I look behind me and I see a the Ripper chasing us. I feel panic setting in.

Father throws smoke bombs on the ground, hoping to lose the Ripper. We hide in thd crowds of the citizens happily dancing.

"I will gut every last one of them if that's the quickest way to you," I hear the Ripper say. Before I could do anything the Ripper starts attacking and killing police officers at random. The crowds of citizens run away screaming in terror, exposing mine and Father's location.

The Ripper chases after us and me and Father run away.

"Come on, you monster. Lets be done with this!" Father yells at the Ripper.

"Run all you like, Jacob, I will catch you," The Ripper shouts back. Father throws down more smoke bombs but that doesn't slow the Ripper down any, "I need only to follow your sent.... the sent of an wounded animal,"

Father throws down another smoke bomb and we hide in a cemetery. We hide behind a gravestone. Father looks at me.

"Charlotte, go back to the apartment," Father tells me while whispering. I look at him and I shake my head.

"No, I'm leaving not leaving you to that monster!" I whisper yell. Father places a hand on my cheek.

"Please, go and get back to the apartment," Father tells me, "I'll be there before you know it," a few tears roll down my face. I didn't want to leave him to the Ripper. But I quickly stood up and I ran away from the cemetery.
 
I find a carrage and I climb onto the carrage and I drive it back to the apartment. I ran into the building and I run into the apartment and I close the door behind me.

After a little while later, Father quickly rushes in the apartment and he goes to his desk and he gathers some papers.

"Come, we need to find your brothers and we need to leave," Father tells me. I nod my head, understanding the situation. I look behind me and I gasp when I see who is at the doorway, Jack the Ripper. Father turns around and he stops in his tracks.

"Going somewhere?" he asks us. The Ripper comes closer to us.

"Jack, your sick," Father tells.The Ripper looks down at the knife he is holding. I look at him.

"Please, you don't need to do this!" I plead with him. The Ripper only snickers.

"Oh, on the contrary, my dear, I want to," he says darkly. The Ripper then attackes my father. I run up to the Ripper and I attack him with my kukri.

I stab him in the arm. The Ripper yells out in pain. But he throws my against a wall and I get the breath knocked out of me.

Father attacks the Ripper but Father is beaten to the ground. Father quickly comes next to me. Jack walks near my father.

"Don't you see the irony, brother?" the Ripper asks him.

"Jack," Father says and he looks around for anything yo use againt the Ripper.

"Only you know who 'the Ripper' is.... But you cant tell another living soul...because it would destroy you and the Assassins," I look at my father and I cling onto his arm. The Ripper neals in front of us. Father quickly looks over and he quickly grabs a blunt object and he hits the Ripper on te side of the head. Father runs to the gun on a shelf.

"No, no, no, no!" the Ripper yells and he throws a drawer at my father. Father falls to the ground.

I quickly run to get the gun. But the Ripper tackles me to the ground. He the stabs me in the right shoulder. I cry out in pain.

The Ripper gets off me and I hold onto my shoulder. A lot of blood was flowing out of me. I see the Ripper hover over my father. Father looks at me with terror in his eyes.

"Charlotte!" Father yells for me. I let tears down my cheeks.

"Daddy!" I cry out. The Ripper chockes my father with one hand while the other raises a knife over him.

"Jack, we can fix you," Father pleads with him. The Ripper only chuckles.

"Fix me! I am the solution!" the Ripper yells at him. Then the comes down onto my father's flesh. He yells out in pain. Bur then he makes no more sound.

"Daddy! No, daddy!" I cry out. The Ripper takes the knife out of my father. He then comes at me.

He hovers over me. Tears roll down my face. The Ripper wipes them away. I wimper. He pulls off his mask and I see the one and only Jack the Lad. His sandy blond hair was a mess from the mask, he had scars all over his face, and his dull blue eyes stair into my hazle ones.

"Shhh, don't cry, my love, it will be all over soon," he says and his knife digs into my chest. I scream in pain.

But then a calming sence came and them there was only black.
