With the blades sewn into their flat caps and the weapons tucked into their jackets, people bowed their heads when passing them in the streets. You were considered lucky to have not had a run in with any of the three elder Shelby brothers. Arthur was the eldest. He was known for his fighting. You would often find him in the ring against somebody who was not his size. He went mad during the war and his return was nothing hit a relief for his mind. But when thinking he had finally escaped the war, one had started in his head. Arthur Shelby was his own enemy. Thomas was the second eldest - the most feared. He had a head for business and more common sense than his older brother. He had icy eyes which very rarely softened at the sight of anything. He was known for his trait of being unmerciful and careless. Despite being the second eldest, he was the brother who held the power. The brother who controlled the rest of them. John was the youngest of the three and arguably the softest. With his wonky smile and cheeky remarks, many of the girls in Small Heath found themselves falling at his feet. He would often find himself in trouble for acting childish. He didn't care too much for the business of the gang. He cared for the respect it brought their name. He enjoyed the thrill. And then you had John's twin sister - Francesca. Known for being one of the only Shelby siblings who seemed to laugh at Thomas. Her sister, Ada, being exactly the same. Francesca found that her brothers were ridiculous - too big for their boots as she'd say. Though she liked to use their name to get herself out of trouble.

A short extra chapter. If I can't have you (one shot)

London was ran by three different organisations. One owned by Alfie Solomens. The other owned by Darby Sabini. And the last owned by The Abbott's. The Abbott's were forces to be reckoned with. They were ghosts that lingered in the smoke of London City. Everybody knew them but nobody spoke of them. To speak their name was a dangerous game.

Eleanor Shelby didn't bluff, didn't charm, didn't play games. She didn't need to. Being the youngest Shelby-by barely a year beneath Finn-never made her soft, and it certainly never made her weak. If anything, it carved something sharper into her. Where others underestimated her, Eleanor thrived. She moved fast, spoke bluntly, and acted before doubt ever had the chance to settle in.
