The Tower of London..
Some of the worst and horrible criminals sitting in their secluded jail cells. The rancid smell of murky sea water filled every hall. The groans and weeps of criminals in their cells surrounded the room. A chubby guard was walking up and down the metal doors, clanging with his baton. In his other hand he was carrying a plate of grey mush on a plate. He stopped at an iron door and jingled the keys on the lock.
"Lockson.. Dinner." The form on the bed didn't stir, the guard grabbed his baton and clanged it on the bed rail "Lockson! I said dinner!" he looked at the covers "Lockson if you don't get up this instant I will.." he lifted the covers and saw the form was just pillows, he was about to shout when suddenly he was brought to the ground and instantly went unconscious. Elijah flipped over the guard and brought his foot on his chest, he laughed slightly and smirked at him "Don't get upset, I really enjoyed my stay but… I must dash.." Elijah swept his brown hair out of his face and heard the guards running down the hallways, he moved the bed to reveal a secret tunnel. He climbed through the endless pipes and muck to finally reach the end, he fell into a small river and met Vlad. The large grey mouse smirked and helped him out. Elijah patted him on the shoulder and smiled "Ahh Vlad its good to be out…"
"What are our plans sir?" Vlad brought him to the carriage that was waiting for him, he stepped in and as Vlad was going to close the door "Easy… I want them alive."
THE PLUNKET MANOR
Nellie walked through the house and clapped her hands "Okay everyone place your bets! I am not getting any older!...Thank goodness." Nellie laughed and sat down on the white sofa. Penelope and Girdy walked through the room and placed their pounds on the table.
Penelope smiled "Well I can see that he will propose before noon.."
Girdy nudged her "Its six minutes to twelve, you might as well hand Nellie your wallet."
Nora walked through the hall and shook her head "It's disappointing that all of you have gambled on a marriage proposal.. sad really.." she secretly handed Nellie five pounds and whispered "Five pounds before sunset." Nellie smiled and grabbed the money from her hands. Nellie cleared her throat and placed the glasses over her eyes "Now we have fifteen pounds before noon for Penelope, after sunset by Girdy, and…Nora and me before sunset."
"Nora!" Penelope and Girdy shouted. She shrugged her shoulders and looked at the clock. Penelope snapped her fingers "Dang.. five minutes to noon.." suddenly the door knocked softly and Charles opened it. "Ah James! Good to see you!"
Ratigan walked through the door and smiled, He looked around and saw Nellie hide a bundle of money with her hands "Hello ladies,Charles.. and Nellie." Ratigan kissed her hand and she winked at him "Good to see you darling." She shouted up the stairs "Rosalie! Someone is here to see you."
Wearing a light purple long sleeve dress, Rosalie walked down the stairs, the ruffles of her knee length dress swished as she walked. Her brown hair was placed in a low bun and her gold flower necklace was graced around her neck. Ratigan smiled as he held out his hand to help her, she smiled back and noticed the awkward staring of her relatives. They all saw her quirk an eyebrow and they looked away.
"Can I talk to you alone.." Ratigan asked. She wrapped her arm around his and led him outside, he entered first, she looked at her family and shook her head, closing the glass door behind her.
Nellie ran as fast as she could to her room and peered out the balcony, the rest of the family including Charles walked behind her peering over the stone balcony. They all watched as Ratigan let her sit down on a stone bench, he spoke to her then began to kneel on one knee. She instantly flailed her hands in the air with glee and jumped on him, making both of them laugh.
Nellie clapped her hands "She said yes!" Penelope shouted "I win the pot! Hand it over!" Charles looked at his watch and exclaimed "Miss Penelope.. it's a minute past twelve.."
Penelope pouted "NO! Not fair!" Nora pushed past her and grabbed half the money from Nellie making Charles gasp "Miss Nora… you gamble?"
"Placing predictions against family is not gambling.." she walked away and placed the money in her pocket "It's an investment." Nellie nodded and counted through the endless paper pounds in glee.
