A week or two pass as the five walk into a pub, meeting an old friend, but then a strange man pushes himself off the table and looks at Alexandria then points at her, "The aura of death around thee! A bright light, drawing in her pray! Get thee behind me!" he shouts and ran out, they look at each other and Alexandria shrugs, "Eh, I've been called worse." she states, Evie giggles and they walk up to the table. "Alas, these days stupidity is all too prevalent!" Charles states then looks at the three. "You know, I never ask your names when we last met." he states.
"I'm Evie Frye and this is my brother Jacob." Evie introduce the two, "I'm Andy Filching and this is my little sister, Annabeth." Andy introduce themselves, "A pleasure to meet you, I am Alexandria Dorian, but you can call me Alex for short." Alexandria introduce herself. He nods his head to them, "Tell me, do you believe in ghost?" he ask them. "If I can't see or touch it, then no." Annabeth answers, "Not really." Andy answers. "Not particularly." Jacob answers, "Yes." Evie answers, "Definitely." Alexandria answers as well and the three look at them.
Alexandria looks at them and shrugs, "I'm skeptical myself. Here we are in a world's most advance city, yet its citizens are so in thrall to the supernatural they leave themselves vulnerable to charlatans!" he states, juestering to the man that left the room moments ago. "Which is why I joined 'The Ghost Club', the fight society in the world to look systematically at the phenomenon. Because truth, like a spirit, must be cajoled, before it will reveal itself! Will you join us?" she asks of them.
Evie and Alexandria nods their head as Jacob, Andy, and Annabeth shook theirs. "Sounds absolutely ridiculous!" he states, earning a glare from Evie and Alexandria. Then he turns to Charles, "Why not." he states, Andy shrugs and Annabeth cross her arms with a smile. "It does sound intriguing." Evie states and Alexandria leans against her, "Most intriguing." she adds. Charlies smiles at them, "Splendid! I have your first case." he tells them, Alexandria pulls her arm back, Andy uncross his and Annabeth pulls hers off her hips and they lean forward against the table. "There has been some disturbing reports about a series of assaults in Lambeth. People claim that they are being attack by an age-old demon, Spring Heel Jack!" Charles informs them and Alexandria's interest was perk. "An Oni?" she mumbles, Charlies nods at her, "The fend is on the prowl as we speak! It's up to use to find him." he tells them.
They nod at him, then walk away from the table, brushing pass the people around them, and were outside, they then ran across the street and into the alley looking around. "See anything?" Andy asks as they spread out. "Nothing over here." Annabeth calls out, "Same." Alexandria calls out as her eyes were glowing golden. But then a scream rips through the night sky like a knife. Alexandria's eyes dim back to blue and the assassins look at each other and they ran to the spot and found a woman cowering in a corner and a few people were by her.
Annabeth and Alexandria walk next to her, calming her down. "It's alright, just breath." Alexandria tells her, the woman nods at her and took deep breaths. "Now tell us what happen." she asks her. "It was horrible, glowing eye, huge claws… And his laugh! Lucky he was frightened away by some passersby." she states then looks at Alexandria and grips her arms tightly. "Somebody has to do something before he attacks another!" she tells her, Alexandria nods. "I understand and I'm here to help, but in order for me to do so, I need you to clam down and breath." she tells her, the woman nods and slowly let go of Alexandria. "Now, go home and stay there until you've settle." she tells her, the woman nods and walks off, a friend of hers walks with her.
"Nicely handled." Evie states as they walk off, Alexandria shrugs, I know how to handle myself in situations with panic people, come on, lets fine the next victim." she tells them and took off down the road, Jacob chuckles and the four followed after her. She arrives at the alley and her eyes her glowing golden, "See anything?" he asks her, she shook her head and walks down further into the alley then looks over to her right. "Find him." she states and she takes off on her right, they followed, Alexandria approaches the man and then a smoke bomb went off, clouding the area, her eyes glowed golden again and she saw Spring Heel Jack and blocks his attack, "Guys, get these people out of here, I'll hold him off!" she shouts out to them and kicks Jack in the belly. They nod and got the people away from the two. Jack just laughs like a manic and swings at her. "Is it man or Devil?" a woman asks as she was pulled away.
Alexandria jumps back, dodging his blade then twirls and sends the soul of her boot into his mask, he twist and falls face first (Or mask) onto the ground as the most settled. Then the man stood up, turns and looks at her, "It's never that easy." he states in a pouty voice, titling his head to the side and throw down another most bomb, it was right out her feet, but Alexandria covers her eyes and face to protect herself, the smoke settle, she pulls her hand down and saw that Springer was gone and Jacob and the other ran up to her. Jacob gently grips her shoulder, "Are you alright?" he asks her, she nods. "Yeah, I'm okay." she tells him then Evie steps out and leans down, looking at the footprint that Springer left behind.
"Come on, lets find this Springer Heel Jack fellow." she tells them, they look at her and nod, Jacob pulls his hand away from Alexandria's shoulder and places his arm over her shoulders and pulled her along. The siblings followed after them. They ran down the alley and up the stairs, then Jacob pulls his arm away from Alexandria's shoulder and he looks down at the print, "We have you now." he states and he uses his vision, and so does Alexandria uses hers. They find a trail of footprints and follow them out of the alley, down the street and right at a wall. "Well this is where the trail ends." Jacob states, the three look around.
"You think he has a hidden door around?" Andy asks them, Evie shrugs, "I don't think so." Annabeth states and Alexandria notices something on the wall, "Hey, look at this." she calls out, getting their attention, the three then walk over to her. "Claw marks on the wall?" Jacob question, Alexandria's eyes glowed and she saw more up top, "Seems to lead to the roof." she states then climbs up the wall, the three followed her and she walk along the roof, following the footprints, then jumps onto the ledge, then jump over to the tree then to the next roof, the others follow her lead and she jumps down and was now back on the ground. She walks across the street and up to another house, she sighs and climbs up it the wall and stood on top of the roof, she looks down at the footprint and where It was facing, then the other caught up and Jacob looks where she was looking.
"Out of the way Warehouse. Lots of guards. Masked lunatic inside. This is the bloody life!" Jacob exclaims with glee, Evie rolls her eyes at him as Alexandria just giggled. She then kneels down and looks around, "Found his footprints and they lead to a ladder of some kind." she informs them, they nod at her, "Lets go." Evie tells her and they jump down and walk up to the house, Jacob walks up to two of the cultist and pulls out his cane dagger and slits their throats. Alexandria shook her head and threw one of her daggers at one of the cultist. She sighs, "They never learn do they?" she questions. Annabeth and Andy chuckle, they then followed Alexandria as she lead them down the ladder.
They land in an underground room and saw in the main room a few of the cults, Alexandria and the other snuck inside and kill off the three, then suddenly a smoke bomb goes off, catching the four of guard as Alexandria covers her mouth. "Who are you to deny us our sport?" Jack questions them, "A mad man that thinks hurting innocents is fun." Alexandria shot back at him and pulls her mask up, then Jack jumps in front of Jacob, but Alexandria stood in front of the younger Frye and blocks his attack with her gauntlet, "The scum of London are as base as animals, and we treat them as such." he states, she growls and kicks him back, making him stubble back.
"Are we speaking from experience?" she questions him, "We take our inspiration from Jack, who knows how to treat the lowers Classes." he states, "Sick Bastard!" she snaps and then right hooks him across the face, cracking his face a little. Jack places his hand on his mask and laughs like a manic, but then she flicks her wrist and slits his throat, Jack fell onto his knees and collapse on the ground, the smoke settles and everyone stop coughing. "Everyone alright?" she calls out. "I'm good!" Andy calls out, gently griping Annabeth's shoulder, "Same here!" she calls out, "I'm alright!" Evie calls out, "I'm still breathing." Jacob calls out, Alexandria sighs with relief and then looks down at the dead man.
The other was up to her and looks down at the dead man as well, she pulls pulls off her mask and pushes him onto his back with her foot, Evie kneels down and removes the mask, it was a common man. Annabeth sighs, "Well now we know its some crazy man that was a bully to the lower class." she states, the others nod at her. "Well lets take this information back to Dickens shall we?" Alexandria tells them and walks off, the others followed after her, unaware of the man watching from the shadows, Alexandria stops and looks back into the room, "Something wrong, love?" Jacob asks her, placing his arm on her shoulders, "I had this feeling… never mind, it's nothing." she tells him and the two left the room.
