Chapter 5 coming at ya!! So, is Ratigan sincerely back? or is it someone else???? With the same size feet? lol Guess you have to read to find out! LOL
"I'm glad he's alive. You basically got your revenge on him. Now it's my turn." said Liz darkly.
"Wow, slow down. First of all, I wasn't necessarily after revenge when the whole platform blew up. And secondly, I don't think you should build up that hate as well. It will turn you just as horrible as the old rat." said Basil, making a good point.
"Fine, but still. I highly doubt he deserves to live after what he's done." she said.
"Karma." Said Basil.
"Well, the last time, Karma was against us. So what's your point." said Liz.
"What's to happen will happen." said Basil.
"Fine." said Liz, walking out into the streets.
Remy walked over, putting his arms around her waist, and resting his head on her shoulder.
"Oh, Remy." she said, leaning back into him. "If only it weren't true."
"I'd like to know how he's been hiding all this time in the first place." said Remy.
"I'd like to know who Ariana really is." said Liz.
"What do you mean." Remy asked, standing straight up suddenly, and looking down at her.
"I was thinking... I've met Ariana once, and she looked nothing like the mouse that floats over there now." she said, motioning to Ariana, who talked with Basil.
"So?"
"So, I think she's either a confused ghost, or a ghost working for or with Ratigan."
"Did you just hear yourself." laughed Remy. She thought about it, and laughed to. It did sound silly to be talking about a supernatural being like that.
"But seriously..." she drew out.
"Okay, okay. We'll watch her." he laughed, walking back towards them.
"Okay, so we know that Ratigan must be alive. When we got back, the fur we found matched his old DNA traces." concluded Basil.
"Well?" asked Liz, standing up.
"I don't know." said Basil.
"Wait..." said Liz.
"What is it?" asked Basil.
"How has he been hiding all this time?" asked Liz.
"Well... wait!" said Remy, in discovery.
"What is it?" asked Liz.
"Haven't women been disappearing?" asked Remy.
"What do you mean?" asked Liz.
"Like, prostitutes. Just homeless and crap." said Remy.
"And how would you know this?" asked Liz, looking suspicious, but clearly acting is all. Remy played along though.
"I heard it from the guys at work."
"Sure you did." said Liz, walking over.
"But seriously, they were talkin about just random reports on missing people." said Remy. "But they didn't know who to blame, so they just said, it was Jack the Ripper." He added.
"Wait..." said Liz, walking over to her cabinet in the corner. She pulled out an old newspaper clipping. But it wasn't their size. It was human sized. She read it aloud...
"Another victim has been found, brutally slaughtered in the White chapel. This victim is known as Mary Kelly. Detective Sherlock Holmes, who is also being aided by Frederick Abberline, are looking in on the investigation, being stumped in doing so. They have turned to call this killer, Jack the Ripper, not knowing what else to call him..." she stopped and looked up at the rest of them.
"This is a bigger conspiracy than i suspected." said Basil, rubbing his chin, and taking out his pipe.
"Ratigan is taking up the "mouse" part of Jack the Ripper!" cried Olivia, leaning back on the couch. Ariana hovered in the corner.
"He did this to me." she said slowly.
"How can we be certain anymore!" said Liz, standing up suddenly, looking at the ghost. "You don't look a thing like Ariana!" she said.
"How else am I supposed to explain I'm here! Ooh, look at me. I just pulled into town. I'm a ghost, and I would like to find out who killed me!" said Ariana, pulling her point across.
"I guess your right. But your not Ariana." said Liz.
"Well, than what do you suppose I'm called." she said, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
"Sarah?" said Liz, looking over at Basil, who's ears perked up at the name.
"Sarah?" questioned Ariana, suddenly getting a gust of wind through her. It all came back to her now...
Dear Sabrina,
Basil has currently written to us that your sister is dead. We're sorry that we can't precisely be there to comfort you as you read this, but Sarah will be there, holding your hand always, through thick and thin. As for her daughter and husband, I guess they are managing fine. Basil is still in his work, and Elizabeth, I hear, has taken up that business as well. She is growing strong, and wise as Sarah would have made it in the first place. Please write to us, we love to hear from you sometime. How are things with you? This house hasn't fully been the same without you rowdy kids to take care of. LOL. Now I recall the rainy days. You and Sarah would curl up on the couch, a blanket over you, reading and telling stories to one another, neither one wanting to admit you were scared. Again, be safe dear...
Love always,
Mom and Dad.
Ariana looked at Liz, knowingly.
"Elizabeth?" she questioned.
"What?" asked Elizabeth, looking at the ghost oddly.
"Where's your mother?" she asked.
"What? How do you know my mom?" she asked.
"it's me. Aunt Sabrina." she said.
"Sabrina!" said Basil, looking up. "I knew it! I knew I knew that face! But it's been years since your death as well." he added.
"What?" asked Liz, looking at both for an explanation.
"How did I die?" she asked.
"A tragedy as I remember in the letter... Your parents wrote to me that you had been run over by a carriage!" He said.
"Aunt Sabrina, you say?" asked Liz.
"Yes." said the ghost.
"But what force has brought you here?" asked Basil, surprised. "As they say in those "supernatural stories", the ghost always has a reason for being there in the first place." He said.
"That's what we're going to find out!" said Liz, as lightening flashed behind her outside the window, and lightening boomed.
Wow, I think I lost my story, but my friend was just talking to me bout Jack the Ripper, so I had to bring it up seeming how they were so close in territories and so close in date and all that good crap... I figured Ratigan would make a really good "Jack the Ripper" sorry if I confused any of you in the first place, I guess I haven't gotten to the action, seeming how they only seemed to be talking in this chapter. More is on the way though, I promise!!!
