Chapter 3

It must have been only an hour or two since I fell asleep because when I woke up it was still light. I got out of bed and I made my way to mums lab to see if she was there. I knew she would be looking for a cure for the violent abnormals. When I got there I saw mum sitting at the table with Uncle James, He would come a visit a lot when I was younger and I had taken to calling him Uncle. If I needed someone to talk to who wasn't in the same building as me James said I could always call him. I ran up to him giving him a hug and a kiss on the check. 'Uncle its good to see you. What are you doing here?'

'I have come to help your mother with finding the cure. I was just telling her how she needs to come and see me more. We haven't spoken in years and the only contact with her I have is through you. How about when this is all over you come to London for a holiday? I could show you around.' I had never been to the sanctuary in London because it had always been too busy here.

'Uncle I would love to come to London with you. It would be nice to finally have a nice chat face to face and not over the cams'

'Why don't you two go and have a chat in the lounge. I'll be fine working on my own for an hour or two.' I held my hand out to help my Uncle up off his seat and we slowly made our way to the lounge. I put a few more logs on the fire to keep it burning and we sat across from each other.

'I heard all about the men yesterday. It's good to see you are not seriously hurt, we will find these men and they will get pay back.' Before I could respond the tall creepy looking bald man walked in. Now was the perfect time to get some answers. Mum won't tell me anything but I bet this man will.

'I want some answers. You're Ashleys dad but your tried to kill her what kind of farther does that.'

'You must be Samantha; your mother has told me lot about you. It seems she hasn't told you anything about me but I'll be happy to answer any of your questions. As for trying to kill Ashley I was dying I had no choice but to use her against Helen to get what I needed to stay alive.' he moved more into the room and sat down on the opposite sofa.

'why did mum tell Ashley her dad was dead. What about my dad, do you know who he is?'

'you mother thought it would be best if she didn't find out who her really dad is….' Before he could carry on James interrupted him.

'Well they were better off without finding out their dad is Jack The Ripper.' Wait did he say 'their' dad as in he's my dad as well.

'Are you my farther? Wait you're Jack The Ripper. No wonder mum never said anything.' Well this is turning out to be a great week. First I get attacked by some mad men, then I find out who my farther is but he turns out to be some crazy murder form 1888. I can't believe mum wouldn't tell me something like this. I got up from my seat and ran out of the room to find my mum. By the time I reached the lab where we left her I was out of breath and my arm started to hurt.

'why didn't you tell us! we should have now our dad is alive and well a murder. I understand you keeping it from us when we were younger but now I'm 18 and Ashley's 20 we should have had the right to know. I didn't want to find this stuff out from James, it should have been you telling me.' I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes threatening to spill over the edge and have me break down in tears.

'Now is not the time for this, I am trying to stop a war here and I don't need you shouting at me. We will talk more when you have calmed down.' I can't believe she just did that to me. I turned around and made my way back to my room.

I had only been sitting in my room for half an hour when I heard a crash come from outside. I grabbed my gun from my bedside table and made my way slowly outside the room. Big Guy was there on the floor with blood coming out of his mouth, He could be infected with the virus. This is not good, they all died in the end. I'm not letting that happen to him. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and rang the number I knew would help best. After a couple of rings I heard my name on the other end. 'mum something's wrong with big guy, you need to get here as quick as possible. We are outside my room. Mum I think it's the virus turning abnormals into killers.' I hung up after that and i really hope she would get here soon. I had been sitting next to big guy for only a few minutes when mum came running round the corner with my dad and Henry following. Mum took one look at him and turned to my dad. 'John can you take him to the infirmary, we need to get the source blood soon, or he's going to die.' They were going after the source blood, mum told me it would be nearly impossible to get without all The Five and there is only three of them.
