Love on Ripper street

Chapter 1.

It was a dark, cold and late December night, with just about a week left before New Year's Eve.
Alice Lightwood stood in her kitchen in her small one bedroom apartment in Southwark, London.
Lately she, as well as her neighbors, hadn't felt very safe in their neighborhood. The street she lived on was now called "Ripper Street".
Alice chopped the vegetables and was lost in her thoughts while the news reporter talked about Jack the Rippers latest victim. Apparently it was a girl in her early twenties, killed just about three hours ago, near the shop that was located about a eight minutes walk from Alice apartment.
She thought to her self that it was rather strange that all of Jack's victims where around the same age as Alice, their early twenties, and they where all female.
Alice, as many times before, become lost in thoughts and slipped with the knife.
"Ow! Seriously?!" She said, and sighed frustated. She hurried to the sink and rinsed the wound, then she went to the fridge and got some ice to keep the wound from swelling.

Many people thought that Alice was a sweet girl, but they never really thought that she could handle her self, they saw her as a little girl, and she hated it!
Her parents weren't happy when she decided to stay in her apartment after they found out about Jack the Ripper, and the fact that they hadn't been able to identify him, even after ten killings.
Alice never really thought that people could be evil, she always thought the best of people.
She had suffered many times because of that. When she was in school she was a total outcast, she didn't have a lot of friends, many people used her, exept her best friend who stood by her at all times. Her name was Ana, they had known each other their entire life and their family saw them as sisters. Ana worked as a successful lawyer in New York City, while Alice was left behind in Southwark, working as a waiter part time and as a secretary as well, trying to save up enough money to go to the USA and be with her best friend.

Alice took her salad, her work timetable and her iPhone and went to the living room and sat on the couch while looking over pice of paper with all of her work hours on it. She then heard the door cracking open.

"Didn't I lock it?" She murmured.
She went to the door and saw that it was slightly open.
"Strange.." She thought.

Alice locked the door and went back to the living room when suddenly she saw a presence in the shadows in her kitchen.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my apartment?!" She screamed and reached for the light switch.
"You know very well who I am Alice Lightwood." She heard a male voice say.
