How we became Cursed
Chapter 2- The Lady In White
This is a story of love and betrayal, of loyalty until death, or things that are even worse. The tale of a family torn apart, bringing them even closer than before. This is the tale of how I died, and lived again, and again, and again...
A young mouse boy ran down the streets of London, calling out words of the latest news acquired. "Extra Extra! Read all about it! Lady In White Takes Another Life! Extra Extra!" As he ran, and old mouse man sitting on a curb called out to him. "Ey me boy, bring me one'a dose papers." The paper mouse ran to the older mouse, and upon collecting a nickel from him, handed him a paper, and continued on his route for the day. The old mouse looked at the paper, and began to read the cover story.
Lady In White Strikes Again!
Authorities have discovered another dismembered body, with The Lady In Whites calling card, a black rose, lying on top of it. The vicim was a Rudy Sullivan, a family man of only thirty-three years of age. The face was badly mutilated, being scratched up and parts of it missing. The neck was left in tack, as usual, with only two small puncture wounds on the right side. The torso, legs, and arms were all partially eaten, the suspect being a very small dog. Witnesses say it was only 10 inches, standing on its hind legs, walking upright like a mouse. Here is what one Detective on the case, Scott Brown, has to say on the issue.-
"Now everyone knows there is no such thing as a dog of that stature, let alone one that stands on his or her hind legs. We believe it was a small dog, maybe a terrier, who found the body, and began to eat it. When witnesses came upon it, they only saw its front two legs, believing it to have been standing on its two hind legs. This "Lady In White" has never been confirmed, the only witnesses being young children who say she "drew them to her, and bit their necks." Yes, wounds were found on their necks, but we believe it is a reaction called the "placebo effect," when someone believes something so much that their bodies react towards it, even developing wounds. So far we have no leads, but we will notify you when we receive some."
When comforting one witness, a one Robert Johnson, heres what he had to say-
"I know what I saw. There was a dog, it stood upright like a man, and it had long fangs, and lifted up the body with its front paws while it ate. When I saw it, it looked at me, and smiled. I swear upon my mothers grave it smiled at me! I tell ya' stay in at night, you know this worlds a' comin' to a' end when dogs are smiling at ya'."
It seems that The Lady In White, and her dog are both on the run, and we warn all citizens to refrain from entering the parks, or being alone at night.
