CHAPTER 2

'I am a witch. You all died. Well not all of you but you, Captain Nemo, Doctor Jekyll, Mister Gray, Rodney, Tom. I am a witch I have powers that you could not even dream of possessing. I brought you all back to life. I unfortunately was sent back in time, to your time, when a spell of mine, to bring back a loved one, backfired. I watched you all die. At each of your deaths it seemed that you had some sort of unfinished business. Dorian, it seemed that you had wanted you and Mina to become more than what you were, and this could not be simply because you had looked upon you demons. You all, Tom, Nemo, Mister Jekyll..."

"Please c...call me Henry..."

"OK, you four, had a similar look in your eyes as you died, the look of, wanting something that you could not have. Once I saw that look in the last set of eyes, your's Doc...Henry, I was sent back to this year. I wanted you to have what you wanted, and I managed to bring you all back to life, but the spell seemed way too easy. It backfired to make you think that you have lived all this time. You have not.'

'And what of Allan?' Tom asked

'What do you mean?'

'Did you bring him back to life also?'

'Africa would never let him die...I had nothing to do with it' Scarlet smiled at Tom who smiled back at her.

'B...but how?' Jekyll stuttered

'What do you mean, Henry?'

'How did you bring us back to life?'

'I am a very powerful witch...a lot more powerful than that of your time. I find it very easy to write a spell to do anything really...but there is one thing I am not powerful enough to do...I don't want to talk about it.'

'OK, we have found out how, But why?' Mina asked

'Yes, not that I'm complaining or anything but...why did you bring this rather...tasty young man back to life...?' Lucy asked Scarlet while eyeing up Tom

'I...uh...I wanted them to have what they thought they could never have. And I needed the league.'

'What do you need the league for, Scarlet?' Tom asked while trying to get away from Lucy without actually able to move

'Not here...follow me...'Scarlet turned around and walked fast along the dark street. The league followed at the same speed, Tom upfront with Scarlet and Allan. Nemo, Jekyll and Skinner in the middle and Lucy, Mina and Dorian coming up behind.

'So, Mina, how have you been?' Lucy asked her best friend

'As well as can be expected. I still miss Jonathan at times.'

'Are you Mina Murray, Mina Harker, or Mina Gray now?'

'I'm still Mina Harker, Lucy...although...'

'Although what, lover?' Dorian asked

'Nothing, Dorian...'

'Well, that was fun, I'm going to go upfront with Tom...'Lucy said as she walked passed the pair 'Hello Tom'

'Hello Lucy, What are you doing up here?' Scarlet asked the vampire

'I came to see you...'

'Lucy, I need you to go back with Dorian and Mina...' Scarlet said

'Why?'

'I need you to...please...'

'Fine' Lucy said as she turned around to walk back to the couple

'Why did you do that?'

'Never liked vampires. I prefer mortals, seeing as I am one...'

'Mortals? Like myself...for example?'

'Yes...we're here...'

The large group stopped in front of an old, three story Victorian house.

'My god...I thought I'd never have the guts to come and see it again' Scarlet continued

'Why?' Quartermaine asked

'Last time I was here, well...never mind'

'No...tell us' Tom said

'Not now' Scarlet whispered to him, she then raised her voice so the entire company could hear her. 'Welcome...to my home' She opened the door, Tom and herself waited until the rest of the company had entered
