The League's Nightmare on Downing Street

Chapter 3

Mina Harker fell asleep, her mind wracked with guilt. Dorian Gray had indeed deserved to die, but did she deserve the title "Killer?" She began the deep, peaceful rhythms of sleep.

"One Two Jack's coming for you, Three Four better lock your door Five Six Grab your Crucifix Seven Eight better stay up late Nine Ten Never sleep again," came the song, the song of death.

A terrible screeching sound echoed through the boiler room, the sound of Jack's knives being scraped along the pipes. Mina screamed in terror, as the sound grew louder, before an invisible fist slammed her back.

"Boo!" screamed Jack the Ripper as he became visible. Jack Krueger snarled in deadly wrath as he prepared to face off with Mrs. Harker. **********************************************************

Dorian Gray gasped as he walked toward the museum. No longer was it the British Museum it was now League Headquarters. Dorian had long been evil, but now he was sent back to repent of his sins.

Dorian snorted. Try explaining that to the League. Like as not, Edward Hyde would beat him senseless. Maybe not. Edward was indeed out and about.

Hyde was busy with his dreams. Suddenly Dorian saw Mina. As he moved, a strong hand held him back. "Hello, Dorian." It was Edward.

The Beast-man whispered, "What are you doing here?"

Dorian said, " I have come to save you from that little *****er Jack."

"By all means," said Edward, much to Henry Jekyll's chagrin.

'Are you mad?' said Henry. 'You'll mess up our chances with Mina!'

Edward just laughed. "She's out of your league, man." ***********************************************************

Mina groaned in pain as Jack's knives stabbed through her leg. She snarled in wrath as the dream Killer laughed with glee. "Vampire or no, you cannot stop me!"

Dorian leaped into Mina's mind, a power granted by God. He pulled out his cane sword and stabbed Jack through the heart. Jack screamed and vanished.

Dorian leaped out and Mina woke up. Blinking her sleepy eyes, she saw a familiar shape. "Dorian?" she whispered............
