Unfinished Stories

[ 2 ]

( Pretty much another verison of [ 1 ]. )

September 16th 1896
Henry,

I write to you once more, after several months, in Southampton. I am to inform you that my last mission was a success, yet it brought me much grief. For that, I have decided that I will return to London, my home and free it from my father’s control. I feel as if I am strong enough to take him down and end his world domination. I will be staying a t my old home, near the station in Lambeth. If you wish to meet me, I would gladly sit down and tell you my adventures. It has been long tikme since I have seen you, Henry. Last time was before mother’s death,

From your friend, and sister,
Elise'

Henry's POV

"What day is it?" I asked, folding the letter. A femine figure answered for me. "September 19th." She replied. "Why?" She asked, coming to my side. "I received a letter today. My friend, and sister, Elise is returning to London. The lady is in pain from her family and a people she knew." I stated, holding the letter out to the female assassin. She took it and read it over before frowning. "Does she have a place to stay?" I shook my head. "that is why I was about to ask you for a favor. Is it possible to add another cart for her?" I asked and the female assassin nodded. I smiled, engulfing the assassin in a hug. "Thank you, Evie." I said, hugging her. We stayed like that for a moment before a groan interrupt us. "Evie, take Greenie to a different cart if you wish to do that." A male's voice came from behind us. I turned around to see Jacob standing in the cart's door frame. I noticed that his eyes held a humorous glint, meaning he was teasing us. My face heated up slightly and I looked over to see that Evie's fave was red as well. "Why you.." She started off but Jacob just let out a laugh.

After a long moment of Jacob laughing, Evie told him to shut it. And he did, after a few chuckles. "So what's with this whole cart thing? Don't tell me your bringing another male home in front of Greenie?" Jacob said and Evie narrowed her eyes at him. "No, we have a guest coming from Southampton. She will be aiding us in freeing London." Evie snapped and Jacob grinned. "She, eh?" He replied and I groaned. "I wouldn't try charming her. She's broken enough, I doubt you would make it past a day with her here." I stated. "Is that a challenge, Greenie?" Jacob asked and I grinned. "Indeed."

Fast Forwarding to a more recent memory

September 23rd

Elise's POV

Pulling myself over the ledge, I let out a small hiss, before leaning against the building's tower. I look down to notice how far I climbed up. I let out a small chuckle, before turning and seeing the stain of blood. I smeared it, before climbing up the tower, balancing on the small poles. It has been a long time since I last seen Lambeth, or London in fact. I stood there, frowning at the sight of my once beloved city. "What has my father done to you..?" I whispered. Letting out a sigh, I eased my self down the tower to the roof of the building, before sitting down on the ledge, looking over it. I watch the people below, as they bustle about. My gaze flickered from one person to the next. A man in red caught my attention and I frowned. "Starrick.." I hissed. "Did you start a gang too?" The pain in my shoulder exploded in sheeting pain all the sudden and I wanted to rest and let the wound do it's job, but I must wait for Henry.

By sunset, my gaze landed on a man I know all too well. I smiled slightly but it was wiped away when I notice two people with them. "Who are they?" I whispered. My gaze watches the two, as they spoke to Henry. The three all seem friendly, as if they are friends. I narrowed my eyes, focusing on them. Soon I tore my gaze away, no longer focusing on them. "She should be here.. it's been two days since I expected her.." Henry stated and I stood up. I stepped back before running forward and performing the Leap of Faith into a haystack that was near them. I jumped out, and brushed myself off, before lifting my head to meet three pairs of eyes. "Elise?" Henry asked and I smiled slightly. "Sorry for taking so long. My carriage was stolen so I had to walk." I hummed and he chuckled.

"Sounds like your adventures." Henry stated and I snorted. "No, never. Being an assassin is just boring." I replied sarcasticly. Henry shook his head and came over to me, engulfing me in a hug. "I missed..." He started off before he quickly pulled away. "Why is your shoulder bleeding?" He asked and I shrug. "Well, I Don't know." I stated. I turned from him and place a small smile on my face. "Hello, my name is Elise Starrick. Wh-" "Whoa, whoa, She's Starrick's daughter?" The male asked. I narrowed my eyes at him. "That man isn't my father. I rather be slaughtered before I claim him as my father." I snapped. The male flinched and was smacked by the female who stood next to him. "Please excuse my brother, he tends to act before thinking." The female stated. "I am Evie Frye, and this is Jacob Frye." She said, holding her hand out to me. I took it and shook it, smiling. "Nice to meet you, Ms. And Mr. Frye." I replied, taking her hand, shaking it. "Please, call me Evie."

"Then, please call me Elise." I replied. We let go of each other's hands. I look at Henry who's watching me with a worry gaze. "We should head to the train. I want to look at that wound of yours." He piped up and I scolded him. "I'm not eleven, Henry. I'm twenty, I can deal with my wounds." I hissed and he raised an eyebrow at me. "I'll believe that when I see it." He hummed in response. "Jacob, mind driving us?" Evie asked and Jacob grinned. "Anything for you, sister." He replied. His grin worries me.

Again, another Verizon of [1]. Same character, same idea just rewritten. Only difference is that Elize is actually daughter of Starrick which in v.1, she wasn't.
