Default Chapter

June 23, 1897. Two days after the Queen Moustoria's Diamond Jubilee.

The orphanage's director read the note again.

Ginevra Patricia Ratigan, born the 1st April 1888. Daughter of Professor James Ratigan. Mother unknow.

A policeman entered in his study. "Mr.Crandall?"

The mouse put the paper on the table. "It's me."

"The girl is here, sir."

"Very well. Bring her here."

Mr. Crandall looked at the little girl about nine years old who was in front of him in the grip of four policemen, who had some difficults to hold her down even with her hands tied behind her back. She wasn't very large, but she was exceptionally strong for her age. She was a rather pretty little girl, with light fur, jet black hair, small ears and pink nose, but her yellow eyes, her wormlike tail, her sharp teeth and her clawed hands revealed her breed...well, half of her breed. She was too small to be a rat.

"Very well" he said coldly "you're Ginevra Ratigan, aren't you?"

The little girl's yellow eyes stared at him with hatred. "Don't call me 'Ginevra', you idiot!"she snapped "only my father is allowed to call me like that!"

Mr.Crandall simply smirked. "Whatever you want, my dear...I'll call you simply 'sewer rat'. Or maybe 'mud-blood' would be more appropriate, wouldn't it?"

"SHUT UP!" Ginny screamed, struggling to free herself from the policemen's grip. They hold her more tightly.

Mr. Crandall smiled. "You will have to deal with it, my child. You'll stay here for a very long time...I don't think that somebody would never adopt the daughter of a criminal mastermind!"

"I already have a father"Ginny growled defiantly "I don't need anyone else. And I assure you that won't stay here very much!"

Mr.Crandall laughed. "Do you really think that Professor Ratigan will take you away from this orphanage, you little bastard half-breed? Your father is dead, my dear Ginevra. He won't come back."

She grinned. "You're wrong, poor idiot...he's not dead. I'm sure he's not!"

And there is something else that you don't know, Ginny tought. I don't need my father's help: I'm clever enough to escape by myself. I'll be free within a month. It's a promise...and I always keep my promises!

And this is the default chapter of my second GMD fanfic. It's rather short, I know...I'll update more within a few day, I promise!
