Okay, I know that there are only two other stories for this movie, but I have loved this movie ever since I was a little kid, and I was contemplating doing a fanfic on this movie. I don't know how many people will read it, but I don't care, really, how many hits I get. It's all about the movie and what people think of my writing! So, if you read this, please review, even if it's to tell me that there are actually people reading this! Thanks and here we go!
Chapter One: Music and Firelight
Basil sat in his chair in front of the fire, violin in his hands, music filling the room. He didn't know what he was playing, he barely heard the notes. All Basil knew was that he needed to think.
There had been a string of crimes, mostly robberies, and the clues had led him nowhere. There was no possible way for the clues to make sense: all signs pointed to a conclusion Basil had a hard time accepting. It just wasn't logical. It didn't make sense.
All signs pointed to Ratigan.
Basil looked up from the fire, the notes ceasing from his violin. Ratigan's portrait was still there, almost a whole year after Basil had defeated the villain in the rain, hundreds and hundreds of feet above London. Basil still bore the scars of Ratigan's claws tearing at him and Basil nervously rubbed his shoulder, where the worst scar was. He remembered how much pain he had been in for weeks and weeks after that night, Dr. Dawson fixing Basil up the best he could. But, the pain he had felt... He would re-live that pain over and over again if it would get rid of the memory of Ratigan and his ruffians he left behind.
But this new string of crime. Nothing else but what Basil had would help him solve the robberies, and what Basil had pointed directly back to Ratigan. The leering face was half illuminated by the firelight, and Basil heaved a large sigh. None of this made sense. None of it. Basil started playing his violin again, the music soothing his soul for a moment or two. Then his calculating mind started working on the case again.
He would get to the bottom of this.
Okay, that was the first chapter and the second one is up! Please review! Thanks!
