Sleepy Hollow with future help chapter two re-upload

This is the re-upload for chapter two. I've changed the story a little bit to give the story more depth.
Also, when I looked back at my old chapter two I discovered it was so bad XD.

I'll soon re-upload chapter three. Enjoy reading this.
Oh and in the case I forgot to say:
I do not own the movie or characters except Kyleigh. All credits go to the makers of the movie and the writer of the story, Washington Irving or something XD.

The constable jumped out of his seat and started to pace around the room. 'Masbath, prepare the horses! I'm going to the victim.' Masbath nodded and walked towards the stables.
'Can I go with you? I've got chemistry lessons at my school. Well I used to have before I came here. Maybe I can help you?'

Ichabod was totally confused. 'You have chemistry lessons? I didn't know they teach that at school. Well fine then, come with me.

I stood up out of my chair and followed him outside the mansion. It was in the morning and it was really foggy outside. It looks like a ghost town to me. This town has something really creepy.
After a couple of minutes a guy whose name is Killian brought 2 horses.
Horses? I have never ridden on a horse before, only once but I was 4 years old and it was on a pony in an amusement park.

The horse was really big and it was black. How am I ever going to mount this creature? I tried to climb on the horse but it was a big fail. As soon as I put my foot in the stirrup, I slipped and fell down on the ground with a big smack causing everyone to look at me.

'Are you alright? You've made a big fall here.' Killian asked with a worry look on his face.
'Yes I think I'm okay. I'm just not used to ride on horses and it's really slippery here.' I looked at my arm and I saw that I have gained a scratch from the fall.

Brom smiled to me in a seductive manner and asked. 'Does no one ride on horses anymore in the future?'
'Well, actually no. We usually drive by car or bicycle.'
This answer made everyone staring to me like if I was mad. 'Never mind if I explained it, you would never understand it.

I tried to climb on my horse again and I finally succeeded. 'Yeah I am finally on the horse!' I yelled out a little bit too loud. Ichabod gave me a weird look and he mounted his horse. I laughed in myself; see I am not the only one with difficulties to climb on a horse. He was almost falling of his horse.

Brom shook his head and departed. I and the agent followed him and after a half a hour of riding and two times falling of the horse we finally arrived at the crime scene.

It was a horrible sight. On the ground lay a man without his head. Around him were standing some people who all bowed their head to the ground out of respect for the dead body. I've never seen a dead body before in my life.

Everyone dismounted their horses; well I didn't exactly dismount my horse. It looked more like falling off from it.

Ichabod walked over to the dead body and said half mumbling: "Decapitated… and the head? 'Gone! Didn't the magistrate already tell you this? The head is always gone.' He gave an angry glare to Ichabod. I don't think Brom likes Ichabod a lot.

Ichabod didn't respond on the hostile reaction of Brom and continued his investigation.

'Usually the head is cut off to hide the identity of the body."
'Yes, but we all know who he is!' It's Masbath who was holding guard in the guarding tower last night.

'Right so why is his head chopped off?" After walking a couple of rounds around the body Ichabod kneeled down next to the beheaded corpse and put on some weird spectacles. I couldn't help myself but I burst out laughing.

I quickly turned away before someone saw me laughing. Ichabod investigated the dead body until a beetle crawled out the body causing him to jump away.

I started to laugh again and thought that he was pretty amusing to look at, poor guy!
'This is odd! The wound has been cut like if the iron blade itself was glowing hot.'

One of the older men here gasped and whispered. 'The devils fire! I have to report this immediately to the rest of the townsmen and the magistrate.' After that, the old man left and Brom followed him.

Ichabod stood up and looked at me. 'So… What do you think eh…? I haven't even heard your name!'

'Oh I totally forgot to say!' I replied feeling ashamed. 'My name is Kyleigh and I think I should have paid more attention at my chemistry and biology lessons. But the person, who did this, must be really strong.'

'What? I really don't understand what you are saying the whole time.'
Poor Ichabod, he's totally confused of all the modern stuff. 'oh never mind.' I quickly replied.
After that one of the townsmen said: 'I am going to take the body to the doctor's house.'

'That's fine; I will examine the body tomorrow.' Ichabod returned to his horse and mounted it. I did the same but it took me a few moments before I sat properly on the horse. We left the crime scene and traveled back to the mansion.

As soon as I entered the house again, Lady van Tassel wanted to speak with me.
'Dear child, because it seems like you have no place here to go and it's way too dangerous for a young girl like you to wonder on the streets, I suggest you can better stay here as long as it's needed.'

'Wow, thank you very much ma'am. I really appreciate it.' I was really happy to hear this because it means that I have at least a house to stay while I'm here. Lady van Tassel gestured me to follow her to my chamber.
'This is the room which is at your disposal.'
I thanked her and she left the room.

I sat down in the chair by the window listening to my IPod which still has a full battery thank god until someone knocked at the door. 'Yes! Come in if you want.'
The door opened and the constable entered the room.

'Hello constable, why are you here?'
He stopped walking and stared at my T-shirt. 'Are you alright sir?'
He looked suddenly very pale and I looked at my shirt wondering if there was something wrong with it. I was wearing my Iron Maiden shirt it's a really awesome band.
Ichabod pointed to my T-shirt. 'Why is the word Iron Maiden printed on your shirt?'

I giggled a bit and told him that it was a heavy metal band from England. Maybe I shouldn't have told him this because he was looking even paler but suddenly I had an idea.

'Do you want to hear it? I have my IPod with me with some songs of them on it.' I grabbed my IPod. 'What on earth is that for a thing that gives light?'
Katrina suddenly entered the room because she was searching for Ichabod but she gasped as soon as she saw my IPod. 'Oh my, what is that?'

'Just listen.' I put on the song, Dance of death-Iron Maiden, and they both looked stunned as they hear the music. 'Wow, what is that for kind of magic? Teach me!'
I laughed and told them that this was not magic but an IPod, a very common product from the 21th century.

It was evening again and I had a wonderful diner. The food tasted really good in the 18th century, at least better than the food all produced in fabrics in my time. After diner I spoke with young Masbath. I really feel sorry for the boy, he lost his father yesterday and it seems like that he's an orphan now.

'It must be really hard to lose both of your parents.'
Masbath nodded sadly and said. 'But you lost more than me, I still know people but you lost your parents and your home and you ended up in a strange place and in a different time.'
I smiled; he's such a cute boy.

Meanwhile Ichabod entered the same room and asked us a question. 'Did you see the magistrate leaving with a wagon and horse?'
Masbath looked up in surprise. 'Maybe he's fleeing. But constable you should know, he's not the first one to flee this town.'

Ichabod quickly left the room before anyone could say something. Katrina also entered the room as she saw the constable leaving in a great hurry. 'Where is he going to?' She asked me. But before I could respond Masbath told her that he was after the fleeing magistrate. 'What a fool, maybe he runs into the headless horseman. I'm going after him.'
'Wait, you can't leave at your own!' Masbath replied while standing up and preparing to go with her.

I was starting to get a little bit annoyed. 'Do you people really believe in a horseman whose head is gone? How can a man without a head be alive and randomly chop off heads? And how can he walk? He doesn't know where he's walking because he HAS NO HEAD!'

'Calm down a bit Kyleigh, you are just as stubborn as the constable.'
I walked towards the door and said. 'If you want to find him before your ghost does, we must better leave now.

Meanwhile Ichabod was near the end of the village and he found the fleeing Magistrate. 'Where do you think you are going to?' Ichabod yelled as he walked towards the magistrate.

'Damn you Crane, can't you see I am leaving? I have enough of this village with all its spooky legends. I want to keep my head so I am going to a safer place.' Ichabod was getting frustrated now that everyone here seems to believe in the horseman.

'You are a town's magistrate but your head is yet filled with nonsense about a ghostly legend." Suddenly a movement came out of the bushes and a horse appears galloping towards Ichabod and the magistrate. Ichabod looked at the rider in fear… He Has No Head!
