I'm sorry about the length of this chapter, but I thought that I'd better make it short because it's just the prologue. And I know that JtR isn't a fictional character like the characters in the league but I just thought it'd be original. This chapter finds Mina Harker, the vampire, tracking the imfamous Jack the Ripper through the sreets of London in an attempt to capture him.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, LXG belongs to whoever owns it and Jack the Ripper and everything associated with him belongs in the history books.

Tracking this beast was simple for Ms. Mina Harker, being a vampire and all. All she had to do was follow the trail of blood he had left behind. That thin gleaming trail of dark red liquid was to be the undoing of the imfamous Jack the Ripper, the sinister horror that had crept through the London fog for many weeks now; 'The East-End fiend' that Mr. Quartermain considered to be the perfect new addition to the league.

Her senses told her she was getting closer, although the snaking trail was beginning to waver. Hearing a soft shuffling and whimpering ahead of her she quickened her pace but was careful to remain in the shadows, nothing much could hurt her but if he scarppered then this would've all been for nothing. A shadowy figure ahead of her was hunched over a mound of flesh that Mina supposed was the latest victim. This man was obviously dangerous so why were they wasting their time with him?

The blood on his knife made Mina absent-mindedly lick her lips; she had long since learned to control her undead urges but that didn't mean that Dracula's blood didn't still course through her veins; it didn't stop her being a vampire. When he continued on walking leaving the body of the young pretty woman behind him, Mina followed, matching his foot falls exactly so as to not alert him of her presence.

It was then that she made her move: Pouncing on him when he least expected it and knocking him out. She had a strong urge to snap his neck but refrained. She took his knife and licked off the blood; no sense in it going to waste.

The blood was that of Mary Kelly who would come to be known by the world to be the last victim of the Ripper. The one thing that people didn't know however was why he stopped. Why did he kill? What was the nature of the murders? Was there a pattern? A motive?

What most people don't know is that the reason he stopped was The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

If anyone objects to me using Jack the Ripper in this story or thinks I've insulted or misused anything, or that simply using a real life murderer like him in an LXG fic is simply wrong I'll stop. This first chapter is just to gather opinions.
