Last week I saw the snowmen from doctor who, Immediately I was in love with Vastra and Jenny! So I've watched Crimson horror and name of the doctor again. So I decided that I wanted to write about Jenny and Vastra. So here is my story, don't like? Don't read!
I do not own Doctor who, Madame Vastra, Strax or Jenny Flint. They are all characters of BBC and not made by myself. Everything else you can trace back to Steven Moffat isn't mine.
Chapter 1, when I know you
Yorkshire November 1887. Mystery solves by the great detective! Scotland yard had affirmed that the great detective has been at the crime scene and has solved the mystery around the body's by the docks. A suspect has been arrested and he has confessed, said the constable.
A young girl looked at the picture. A silhouette of a figure who stood in the distance by the water. Only the back could be seen and next to the cloaked figure stood constable Benton.
''ow I would love to be there ey.'' Jenny shook her head and looked at the matches in her hands.
Her family didn't have much money, and lived in a small home in Old Victorian London. There were only two rooms in the house and they shared those with a other family, the smith's. Jenny was all day working as a match girl. On the streets she sells matches to the higher class of people. Some would buy from her. While others didn't want anything to do with her. At least she could earn some money for her parents to afford to buy food and clothed the twins.
It was raining all day and Jenny was cold and wet to the bone. She was shivering and rubbed her hands together to produce a little heat. Her teeth where chattering and she could feel her stiff bones.
It was past seven and the darkness began to settle in, slowly Jenny walked back home. Today wasn't a good day. Little sold, and little money. She could already hear her mother shout.
She made her way through a dark alley and couldn't help but feel like someone was watching her. She looked behind her and scanned her surroundings. ''Ello! Somebody there?'' she saw in the dark corner of her eyes a green shade of something. Like someone with a green skin or some kind. Ofcourse no answer, why would someone who was following her answer, in the dark she couldn't see anything and walked fast home.
the small home came in sight and she pushes the door open. Her mother was in the kitchen, making dinner in a small dirty pan. ''Ey mum.'' Feline Flint, an short, slender woman around the forty looked up. She had the same brown eyes as her daughter. ''Ello sweetie, ''ow did work go?'' Jenny shrugged and didn't say much. She put the three pence on the table.
''Ad you heard of niece Belle?'' Jenny shook her head. She know that her niece was a maid by some sort of a governor. They paid well, and she had good work. ''No, what about 'er?'' Feline put the dishes on the table. ''She got a week off, and they gave a good salary with ''er.'' Jenny nodded. ''She got a good job Jen, with a nice family to take care off.''
Jenny nodded again, she know that Belle had a good live with the governors family. Maybe she could look for work as a maid someday. Or maybe she could become like the great detective, solving crimes and going on adventures. But well that would never happened, she was in the end just the match girl from the streets.
That night when Jenny lays in bed and looked at the sky. She was thinking of the green reflection of the person who was following her. She had seen the green person before, but couldn't really place her where and when. Only that she was very little at the time, and that she was saved by the mysterious person.
The green mysterious person, who was it? Jenny closed her eyes and tried to focus on that moment all those years ago. A cloaked figure, with black gloves and a long dark dress. It was a woman! She could feel the touch of the green woman on her shoulder again. A cold feeling, but it felt safe and comfortable. Slowly Jenny her eyes began to drop and she stumbled into a restless sleep.
