Six Years Later-1853

Everything Is normal..so annoyingly normal there is no sign that anyone will appear They're really making me wait at this rate....

London bridge...

Would you kindly shut up?? I took the binoculars to glare at the man slumped  beside me

Ah Come On I'm Just trying to pass the time can't a man even hum to himself??

Listen we need to stay on our toes we're about to pull of the heist of the century you cant expect me to stay on my toes for five days straight We have Been  lying in here hiding  for  five days already

Ugh I miss London The food The drink The women ....!!!

Stop Complaining. I didn't think  we'd be waiting here for so long

Don't you think it would be faster if we went out and stole it ourselves instead of trying to snatch it during the transport

If that was possible We'd have done that already. All we know is that it's in this area. So all we can do is go after  them

And they're sure taking  their sweet time that's all I'm saying

Th-They'll come around eventually  listen ,a thief has to have—

Yeah Yeah A Plan and the patience to pull it off you've been saying that  over and over for the five days

"I pulled a small device from my pocket" this isn't going to blow up like last time is it?

HAHA what no way I'm the worlds greatest engineer its going to work fine I guarantee it

Yeah well your guarantee  isn't worth hang on

A group of soldier appears in the binoculars view

They're Here

Seriously?!

The First man nods and continues to study the situation

Four military automobiles one escort about twenty soldiers  in total And just their luck one of the vehicles carrying hunting dogs a man who appears to be the commander is in the lead automobile and from the way he looks around he won't be an easy target  its huge unit it could be trouble  but....

The report was wrong they aren't twilight from their uniforms...royal family guards what are they  doing here

What is this?? They're not what you are expecting? Maybe we should change the plan 

...NO this actually works out better for us. Stick with the plan. Meet me at the rendezvous point

Are You Serious!? What happened to 'a plan and the patience to pull it off " and all that stuff

That's not the full saying.. and when those don't work  a thief has to be daring

He tosses his binoculars and prepares to leave

Oof..alright don't you go dying on me. I still need your help with a number of things

Who do you think you're talking to it'll more than this to kill me

With that the man run into the darkness  it has taken  forever  to piece together  the clues leading to this moment

He WILL reach his target

The Moon Is Hidden Behind Some Clouds

That's Not Good. The darkness  makes it easy to run but hard to track

Leonhardt POV:

Here it is we have finally found the mansion that is the lair of the monster

Captain Leonhardt we have surrounded the mansion

Excellent Work Anyone attempting  to leave the building is to be captured

Yes Sir!!!

Finally we will capture the monster Queen Victoria will be please we will rid of that monster instantly

I turned to my soldier in a parting salute and look towards the abandoned mansion before me

Through a meticulous search we finally found this mansion hidden in the forest  the reports is initially correct. So this is where the monster has made its den I kinda don't want to complete this mission search and capture is not my forte 

I Rempart Leonhardt knight and captain of the royal guards will capture the monster With my men the royal guards protector of the Queen  Alexandrina Victoria The Supreme ruler of Britain our current mission is to protect our Queen as she travels to wales for an inspection tour However we received a message through our aether communication device it came from Finis The britains military technical advisor who hold authority in governmental research projects

Capture the monster the hides within the mansion in wales . it may already be dead if so quickly dispose of the body however if there is a chance it still lives it must be captured at all costs

This mission is probably not important to finis if it is he could have sent his pawns the twilight to do the mission there is just one question in my mind what is this monster. The creatures touch causes flesh to melt and fall away...is this meant to be taken literally?? Perhaps it is some  figure of speech I asked finis many times but he did not say anything...there is no use brooding over it

Captain!!! We are prepared to enter

But Captain We're only going to be facing a single  target do we really need all this security

IDIOT!!! We have no idea what we are facing only that it is a 'Monster" as the swords of her majesty  we cannot risk failure we will take any and all necessary precautions and avoid any possible missteps that is how a knight prepare for battle

Yes Sir!! Sorry Sir!!

We are ready to enter I gave them a small nod

ALL MEN REMAIN AT FULL ALERTNESS SQUAD ONE LEADS THE WAY INSIDE FOLLOWED BY TWO AND THREE

We rushed inside with the dogs and soldiers

We checked the room one by one

The soldiers spread out to check for the  monster So far no monster has been found I wonder how long is this building stood empty the walls are rotting in the humidity and shafts of moonlight are filled with dust  The Dogs as if sensing as unseen danger have not stopped growling the entire time As I step forward the small device to detect the target emits a sharp sound I gathered a few of my soldier and follow the device which squeals as we stand in front of a particular door

Its In Here....

I turned off the device and prepared my soldiers to take position I prepared myself to face the monster that awaits us on the other side then I gave a signal to break the door my soldiers broke the door and rushed in inside a skylight let some light in but the moon has ducked behind another cloud  we can sense the tension in this room A strange atmosphere  fills the air the room Is packed with dolls in this dim light the sheer number of them is unsettling  rather than cute. the shadow of a person can be seen sitting in a chair In the center of the room the shadow doesn't move even when the soldiers surround it guns drawn. Either this person is very brave or as the message suggested

Is it dead?

One of my soldier approach the chair the shadow slowly raises its head at that moment the clouds part letting light into the room. Long glossy hair melancholy eyes slowly opening  her flawless skin symmetrical face more than resemble  a dolls her clothing is strange  seeming more like decoration than fashion  everything about her seems oddly mystical the girl blink once slowly her blank eyes take in her surroundings at this simple action we gasp  this beautiful girl lit from above by the soft moonlight like an ethereal creature  She must be....

A monster.....?
