The cane came about an inch away from Lilith's face when suddenly it burst into flames, the fire wrapping around the cane and attacking the man, burning his trench coat. The fire quickly caught to the walls and floor, were it started several other fires. The man yelled in pain and threw his trench coat to the floor as well as his cane. Then he was slammed into a wall, missing a fire that had started in the corner and looked up to see the red eyed snarling face of Mina Harker. She picked him up by the neck but he kicked her in the colar bone with a seemly great force as she tumbled back, the man dodged a fist by Nemo and quickly jumped out a broken window caused by the heat in the room and took off down the street and seemed to disapear as he passed by a manhole. Nemo and Jekyll quickly extinguished the fires as Mina helped Lilith back to her feet.
" Are you okay?" Mina asked looking over at Lilith's arm which she was holding in her other arm.
" I'm fine, just a bruise." She said nodding.
" Who was that man?" Jekyll said as he stomped out the last fire.
" He-he...." Lilith began looking down at the floor.
" Well who was he?" Nemo asked waiting impationatly for Lilith's answer.
" He was a preist, at the old Cathedral I went to before I moved to Le Beau. I lived in Germany for a while, while my mother was sick, before she died I went to go see him, he told me that all people must return to God sometime. His name is Father Angus Wolfe, he knew about.... My powers. My last day in Germany. I was at the church, when.... A creature startled me as I was praying, it scared me so bad, that I attacked it with my powers, and I accidently made the entire church burn into ash. I feared that the people would hunt me down, so I fled to France..... Father Wolfe was a stern man, he was a great teacher though, he taught me to controll my powers. To an extent."
" A creature?" Mina asked her.
" Yes. It was like.... A wolf of some sort, half wolf, half man almost. It tried to kill me."
" Why do you think that this Father Wolfe would try to harm you?" Jekyll asked walking over near Mina.
" I do not know. He seemed to tolerate me. He taught me of my religion and how to controll my powers...."
" Maybe it could be someone else, controlling him or something in that region." Nemo said nodding his head, folding his arms across his chest.
" I don't know. He looked like him. And he had the same cane that Father Wolfe had always carried with him." Lilith said quietly indicating to the cane on the floor. Mina walke over to the cane and picked it up, gasping when she touched it, Jekyll immediantly took a step foward.
" No Henry, it's okay, it's just still hot." Mina said picking it up again and looked it over. " I have never seen a cane like this before. I could study it. Maybe this has something to do with his actions."
" Maybe...." Lilith mumbled. " I would much like to return to my room if that is alright?"
" Go on." Mina said nodding, Lilith walked back to her room which she shared with Mina and layed down on her bed. Jekyll returned to his own room to do some reading while Nemo decided to go back to the Nautilis to check up on things. Mina walked back to the loby and sat down on one of the chair by a lit fire in the fire place, she heard some of the men walking by cursing about fire damages to the Inn. and how they were going to pay for it and what had started it. Mina shook her head and looked over the cane. It was a sleek black cane that was about 3 or 4 feet long, the head of the cane was incased in silver and shaped like a wolfs head, about the size of a grapefruit. Mina continued to study it when she felt something tap on her shoulder she jumped and nearly hit her attention getter with the cane. " God Tom must you do that?" She sighed in relif as Tom Sawyer chuckled and sat in the chair next to her.
" Someone's jumpy." He said leaning his gun next to him. " Whats with all the comotion outside?"
" Lilith's attacker tried to kill her, she had to attack back with her powers." Mina said simply looking over the cane again.
" Is she okay?"
" She's fine, scared I bet, she went back to her room after the ordeal."
" Did you see who the attacker was?"
" No, but Lilith did, she said that his name was Angus Wolfe, the preist at her previous Church."
" Why would he hurt her?"
" We don't know. Nemo thinks that it might be someone controlling Wolfe for some reason."
" How did he find her?"
" I don't know. Tom take a look at this would you." Mina said as she showed him the head of the wolf on the cane. " Its hollow."
" So?" He replied looking over he wolfs head.
" So it's not normal to make something out of pure silver hollow." Mina said and then slammed the head on the floor with such might that is chipped the wood of the cane, but the head was fine. " It also is much stronger then normal silver, it seems to be completely un harmed by the hit and look, there's no scortch marks from when Lilith set it on fire!"
" Okay that's odd." Tom said taking the cane in his own position and looked it over.
" Maybe this cane really does have something to do with Wolfe's actions towards Lilith."
" You never know. Man look at the eyes on this thing, enough to make you drop dead." Tom said shaking his head as he pointed out the pericing green dots of the silver wolfs eyes to Mina. She nodded and took the cane back.
" I should run some tests on it." Mina said standing up and walked away. " By the way Tom, how well did you shoot?"
" 500 yards." Tom sighed picking back up his gun.
" Eye's open boy." She said and walked away, Tom looked at her remembering the same man who had told him that.
(( Mwahaha! I gotcha on a cliff hanger on that last one didn't I? I'm pretty sure you all hated me for that hehehaha *doges flying rocks* hey! Anyway for all of you who don't know, the way you pronounce Wolfes name is Wolf-Aye like that. ))
