Chapter 1
An English Summer
1899
London,England

I rode in my carriage to building to meet this man called 'M'. I have never met this man but his assistant , Mr.Reed, told my family that due my gifts , I am needed for Queen and Country. I was taking care of the sheep in the company of my four year old brother , Zachary. Only my family and village knew of my gifts.
Mr.Reed knocked at the door. We were wary of him. Zachary wrapped himself around my legs scared a little.
He told us that a man is trying to start a world war and that it will debate the world.
I agreed to go in exchange that my family would be safe.
Mother gave me an amulet that will protect me in any way possible. it was gold and a triangle with swirls coming out of the ends. it was the Celtic symbol of protection.I packed what I needed and
I went off to help.

I guess that I should introduce myself.
My name is Virgina Emily Parr. I prefer to be called Ginny.
I have curly dark hair that ends at my elbow. I have brown eyes and I have slighty tanned skin.
I am rather short for my age which is eighteen and people often thought I am younger than I appear.
I would also be the youngest member on the league. My gifts are seeing the future and and have telekinesis. Still working on the latter.
I arrived in rainy London and in front of the building I was to meet at. I looked at the time and saw I was two minutes late. I grabbed my bag and ran up the slippery steps of the building , trying g to make sure I don't fall.
It helped that I was wearing my boots and pants.
I made it without tripping or falling on my ass. I didn't remember which room it was but soon I after seeing Mr.Reed walk with an older gentleman.
The older gentleman had hunting clothes on. He has a full head of white hair and beard. He reminded me of a grandfather.
"Mr. Reed ,"I shouted
The two men turned around and saw me.
" Mr.Quartermaine meet miss Virgina Parr," Mr . reed said.
He held out his hand and I took it.
"Please call me me Ginny," I said.
He looked unimpressed.
We were lead to a room where it was dark. there a little smoke and I could've see anything.
" I don't like theatrics ," Mr.Quartermaine announced.
The lights turned on and all around were book s and pictures of past leagues.

There was a man who claimed to be M.

I didn't hear what was being said.
Than there was an Indian man dressed in a turbin and in Indian royal clothing I guessed. on his side was a sword.

he was introduced as Captain Nemo. However Quatermaine mention that he was a pirate.
Nemo said he would rather keel that in the past.

We sat on at the long table. There was a file on the Fantom. He stole blueprints of Venice from the bank of London and kidnapped a bunch of German scientists. He built tanks and wants to start a world war to make a profit out of an arms race.
There is one other In our group who would be joining us. Mrs. Mina Harker.

Then there was a voice.
" A chemist. Are going blow something up then?"
it sounded like it was from from a difference t part of the city.
" Well, it seems that my eyes are getting worse,"  Quartermaine commented on.
" No your eyes. are just fine," the voice said,and a file slammed down in front  of us. I jumped out of my seat.
" Sorry love didn't mean to scare you."

" no tricks ," the old hunter said , pointing at M who smirked.

he punched the air when his seat was kicked. then a coat floated  up and formed a body but I couldn't see the body.

" Rodney Skinner , gentleman thief," he said.
He explained that he stole a scientists experiment and turned himself invisible. but he can't bloody hell turn back.
then the door opened and a women in middle age walked in. she wore all black save for the red scarf around her neck.
" I am late ," she asked.
" This is Wilmmina Harker," M said.
" does she have a sick note for her husband," Quatermaine asked.
