BEEEP-BEEEP-BEEEP. Neimh rolled over in her four poster bed to switch the alarm off. THUMP. Well all she succeeded in doing was falling out. She stood up and pressed the off button. She turned to the bed

God I must have had a bad night.

The covers were twisted and strewn all over the bed; half the pillows were on the floor. She straightened the white blankets and drew back the forest green hangings. She then turned and went into the en-suite showers room. The cool water was welcome on her hot body. She dried her self off and just as she tied the towel around her body. She heard an ear piercing scream.

Oh No. That was Jonathon's scream.

She slammed the door open and hurtled down the corridor. As she passed the Leagues' room she heard them open their doors.

'What the hell is that?' asked Skinner.

Neimh didn't stop. Down the stairs she flew. She guessed the scream came from the kitchens. With the League on her tail she wrenched open the oak door and stopped dead in her tracks. Her hair dripped cold water down her back but she couldn't feel it .Her blood ran cold at the sight in front of her.

'Oh God.' Said Sawyer.

Slumped on the table was Erin the maid blood seeping from a knife in her throat. The cook stood next to her a look of pure shock and horror was craved on her face. Jonathon who had stood screaming now had his arm wrapped around her waist. She felt a hand on her shoulder. Quatermain stepped forward and picked up a note.

'It's from Moriaty.' His voiced was full of pure hatred. 'It says, 'I will have you Miss D'Arcy. The League cannot protect you all the time. When I have you I will destroy the League. For my brother. I'm always waiting, G. Moriaty.'

Neimh dropped to her knees and pulled Jonathon close to her chest. She felt a warm cotton robe draped over her shivering body. For a few moments she knelt like that then she straightened up and looked at Emily and Parker, who had now joined them.

'You must leave. Go straight to Father's manor. Explain everything. If he doesn't believe you give him this.'

She took a silver heart pendant from round her neck and gave it Emily. She scooped Jonathon up and whispered in his ear.

'I have to go away and you are going to stay with my Father. You must be really brave for mother and Parker and me. Ok.'

'Yes,' he whispered back, 'I will miss you.'

She smiled and passed him over to Emily. She quickly hugged her and Parker.

'Now go.'

They nodded and left to grab a few things and go. Finally she turned to the League. They all looked at her with the utmost pity. Because of them this young woman's life had just fallen to pieces. She forced a smile on to her face; she wasn't going to let them see her cry.

'Shall we leave in about an hour?'

Nemo smiled at her. 'Yes I think we should.'

Neimh slipped the robe off her shoulders and passed it back to Sawyer who stood in his pyjamas.

'Thank you. Now I really must go and get dressed.'

She made her way through them and as soon as she was out of their sight she ran up the stairs along the corridor and threw herself on the bed. Down in the kitchen the majority of the League had gone back to their rooms. Mina and Dorian were the last to leave. Mina let him pull her close.

'Poor girl.' She murmured.
Neimh dressed in comfortable dark jeans and a loose pale green shirt. Her hair, which by now had dried, was brushed into a loose ponytail. She packed a holdall with underwear, and other necessities. As she walked down the marble staircase she saw the League standing there waiting. She smiled at them. Sawyer walked up to her and took her bag.

'Here let me take this.'

'Thank you.' She replied.

'Come Miss D'Arcy. We must leave now.' Said Quatermain.

Neimh nodded and followed them out. She shut the door and pulled a key out from her pocket and locked the doors. She then clambered into the car and sat between Quatermain and Jekyll. Throughout the journey Jekyll sat flicking his watch open and shut and open and shut. She put her hand on his.

'You know, if you keep that up it will simply disintegrate.' They smiled at each other and he put it away.

The rest of the journey was silent. As the car slowed down Neimh's breath caught in her chest as she saw the building. It rose out of the ground like a giant white beast. A man opened the door.

'Welcome to Headquarters.'

A/N. Sorry this is such a short sucky chappy. I was having trouble thinking of ways to get them to HQ. I know it's hard but please review.
