Skinner gave a weak smile. He was afraid yet enchanted by Ms. Ebon. Kassandra gave a fanged smile, her white set of canine teeth gleamed.
"I'm Rodney, Rodney Skinner, Invisbile Man, at your service Miss. Ebon."
Kassandra snorted. "And what service could you offer me? .... Mr. Skinner?"
Kassandra raised her slender eyebrow, her eyes pondered. Suddenly the old birch and cherrywood grandfather clock gave 6 loud rings.
" 6 o'clock, dinner time."
Kassandra dressed herself in one of Mina's deep crimson dressed, if you didn't know better for a second she looked like a Spanish version of Mrs. Harker. Her har fell loosely on her back. Skinner grinned, hoping Kassandra haddn't noticed him. Kassandra looked in Skinner's direction and smiled in her own demonish way thats when Dr. Jekyll came out of his room and stopped, looking at the dangerous beauty in the thin crimson dress. He smiled. Following Jekyll was a young girl about nine years old. She had brown hair that reached her neck and deep hazel/navy blue eyes. She wore a pair of faded black slacks, some small men's workboots, and a light beige/white long sleeve shirt that was almost like Tom's only it didn't button up.
"Good evening Ms. Ebon."
Kassandra smiled. The young girl's eyes were then fearful. But the expression on her face was bold and gentle. She was Jekyll's daughter named Andromeda, after the beautiful madien saved by Persues in the Greek legands. Andromeda's nickname was Andy. Andy had a simple stuffed animal that looked like a cat in her arms. She called the cat Vanora, Scottish for white wave.
Kassandra smiled at Andy and crouched down to her height.
"Hello young lady, I'm Kassandra, but you can call me Kassey, and who might you be?" Kassandra gave a more gentler smile. Jekyll gently nodged Andy.
"My name's Andromeda, but you can call my Andy."
Andy hugged Vanora.
"This is my friend Vanora."
Andy held out the stuffed animal and smiled in a cute childlike way.
In the library, Tom struggled to fall asleep again. He was a few mintues into his nap when books when flying.
"Skinner! You Cockney invisble creep!"
"Your words sting my heart."
"What heart?" Muttered Tom rolling over. Skinner opened a book about the human body and stuck a picture of a heart in Tom's face.
"The invisbile heart in my invisbile body that looks like this one in the book....only invisble."
Skinner went back to searching in the books.
"What are you looking for."
Skinner froze.
"I can't really remember, but when I see it, it'll joge my memory."
Tom raised an eyebrow. Thats when Nemo can storming in.
"Mr. Sawyer, cease napping and get the others!"
Nemo then moved his eyes from Tom to where Skinner stood on the latter.
"Mr. Skinner, pick of the books your thrown on the floor."
Skinner groaned and withen moments books seemed to float back onto the shelves.
Five mintues passed until the League sat in the library. "Sp what's this all about anyway?" Asked Skinner climbing from the ladder and taking a seat next to the soul faced captain.
"We've just received a message in morse code from the Irish Empire. They've finsihed a meeting with the British, Scottish, and English, and they've seemed to have brewed the idea that one of those nations have a secret weapon, prior to the was M started."
Everyone thought deeply about what Nemo had said.
"What does that mean?" Asked Tom utterly confused like most everyone else.
Andy looked up.
"It means that if one of those nations doesn't 'dess up' then the Irish will use they're mass of artelery to start a war of their own with all of the other nations."
Andy unfolded on of Nemo's maps and pointed to Ireland. "Ireland has Russan, China, Korea, Austrailia, and South American on it's side. The other nations won't stand a chance."
Andy paused then pointed to an island of the coast of Madagascar.
"The Irish have been allies with Madagascar since the early 1820's. Until the mid 1880's when Madagascar stopped trade with ireland and started with Britain. Thats when Ireland beileved Madagascar, Britain, and all over Britian's main allies to be traitors. So...they must think that over the peri ome that neither countires communicated that they were forming up something that would destory them. Ireland must have found of that M was working mainly with the British. But..."
Andy stared at the message in morse code.
"The part about the killings since early last month baffle me."
(That Night)
"Hmmmm so the Irish think M's plans are still in use, noly against them."
Tom said to himself. Kassandra's eyes got bored. Then she noticed the nine-year-old genuis walk by. More like sneak by.
Kassandra slipped into the shadows and watched Andy look down a fall then slip from her hiding spot. She crouched behind a chesnut table when she saw her father come out of a room, wave and called goodnight to the Captian and walked down the hallway passing Andy, passing Kassandra.
Andy walked by Nemo's room, he was hunched over a large map which almost spilled over the large pine wood table. Andy crept by, stopping only to watch a large shark pass the Nautilus, Andy watched the shark swim through the placid ocean, then she ran down the hallway. Kassandra followed, interested in what a nine year old could be doing so secret that she had to creep around like a ninja or a spy.
Andy slipped into a rather dark room. Kassnadra followed. The scent of death floodied from the room, filling Kassandra's nostrils, opening her instincts. Awakening the animal, no the beast, inside. Kassandra's tail whipped, her fangs grew thicker and longer. Spikes ripped through the back of the dress, proturding from her back. Her eyes grew red and where it was once white, it was a sickly yellow. Kassandra's nails grew into thick black wolf raptor like claws. Her eyes grew sharper and thicker and a thick mass of dagger like shaggy black hairs rose from her skin.
The demon were-beast form of Kassandra, who many people called Oni, japanese for demon, stepped into the room.
Oni spotted Andy sitting down by a bunch of dead sea animals, studying them. She teased the gaint shark that swam by the window. Oni grined as Andy accidently cut herself with one of her father's doctor knives. Andy's rich blood made Oni's mouth drool. Her made a hiss then caem closer to Andy. The hiss turned to a hungrey bloodthristy growl. Andy spun around and gasped in fear. Her eyes ent wide as she backs up from Oni. The angrey shark pounded on the steel plates of the Nautilus from behind Andy. Andy whimpered slightly. Oni soaked in the lustuos smell of the childs fear.
(In the morning)
Kassandra woke up naked in her bed sparwled out like a dog. Dry blood stainded her mouth and hands. She woke up and stumbled frainticly into the shower, trying to scrub off the blood. Moments later she stumbled into the hallway wearing one of Mina's outfits. She saw Skinner run by in the jacket, grasping a brown bottle of anastic. "Skinner?"
"Not now love. We found Jekyll's kid slashed to near death this mroning. What kind of monster that could do this is puzzeling everyone."
In a large room Kassandra spotted Andy in a bloodstained bed. Her black and lower chest was slashed 3 inches deep. Her face was cut and legs torn into shreds. "She won't be able to walk again thats for sure." Jerkyll said in a wavering voice that was both furiosus and deeply sad.
Rini Zoro: That was a dramtic depressing chapter. I hope y'all understood it.
