It’s true they arrived to London without money and still it’s hard get money. - Don’t ever put your hands in the frying pan Jacob or we run out of them. – Jacob rolled his eyes. - Well. But can I help you to make the boiled potatoes, no? - yes… They arrived wagon bar, normally there were some rooks but today there weren’t nobody. Evie got out a cooper skillet and a saucepan, she opened a small door under the countertop where she put some pieces of coal and lit a fire. Next she put the saucepan.

I got up of bed. Today expected me a pretty busy day. I went to get my clothes to change and brush my hair. Once I’m ready I went to breakfast something. I was dying of hunger! I jumped to adjacent wagon. Jacob was still sleeping, he looked so peaceful, something that was contrasting it with his hyperactive personality. I don’t know why he didn’t want a bed instead of sleeping on this couch knackered, in an inhuman posture and strange, He had not even taken off his boots for sleep… What a disaster. I put alright, the blanket that he had thrown to the ground, surely by move at night. - Thanks you. –He told me. I didn’t expect that and I jumped for scare. - You have sacred me, idiot! – He laughed. I pushed her face to one side as reply. – Go to sleep. - I can’t- he blurt out. –Are you leaving now? - he asked me impatient. - Shortly. –I pushed him aside, leaving site on the couch and I sat beside him. He lowered his head a little disappointed. I put my hand in his back. – I know is hard that you can’t get out of train, but until you're not recuperated is better so. - Mmm… I guess. – my brother said raising the head. I rose and I went to get something to eat. - Goodbye Jacob see you later. – I went. I had planed to meet with Henry in his shop around at eight o'clock, I still had time so I went quietly to his shop. On the way I found some Rooks, along with Evan the supervisor, they asked me for the health of my brother and his localization. - He is in the train, resting. - I replied. - Thanks you Miss Frye! - They went running, Jacob will make illusion the visit. I smiled. After all I arrived at the shop of Henry Green, he was looking some papers. I caught him by surprise. - Hello Miss Frye. – He greeted me with a smile. Something inside me was removed. For a moment I stayed looking his dark eyes and his smile. I sighed deeply and looked the ground. “No Evie!” I said myself. Something it happens to me these last weeks to be with him, the nervousness take control of me when he look at me so sweetly as he do it. Damn it! - Hello Henry- I looked away and I took the book of Lucy Thorne. – This is the book that I found. – I gave it to him. - Amazing! - He opened his eyes taking a look. – the book mention about shroud that able to cure wounds. - I got close to him for see what it had written. – The bad thing is that not show any place. - Or yes, just there are that observe well- I smiled to him and I activated the eagle vision in which I could see a prints that seemed a place. –There is an address. – I said happy. I went to door. - Do you come? – I asked him. - No, is not my thing the fieldwork. – He looked the ground. - We have a hint that can take us to the shroud and not itch your curiosity. Not a bit? – I said him. - Miss Frye. – He looked me to the eyes and smiled, It gave me a chill. – If you tell me as well…. I can’t deny. – It seems that I convinced him. We got out of the shop and got on at carriage. The investigation brought results, we found another hint. Every time I was more close of the shroud. I was on my way to train, it was late and sure that Jacob will be boring. I smiled, the day could not have been more perfect. - Definitely my lucky day.       About an hour ago that she had gone with Henry, I can’t understand why she preferred spend time with him instead of me. She not even concerned or interesting in ask me if I wanted go out for a walk with me and spend time together. I can walk it! - No Jacob stay in the train you’re a disabled person that not can’t move! While I will go to visit Greenie and talk tales about of Piece of Eden, that we don’t know if it is real! – I said imitating the voice of my sister and his gestures. - Mr. Frye. – I freaked and kept silent. I turned to see who was. - Lads! - they were some rooks with Evan the supervisor of the gang in Whitechapel. – What are they doing here? - We have come here to see you boss, miss Frye, said us that you would be here. – They sat with me in the couch. - Thanks for the visit. – Evan looked at me roguishly and suddenly he took a cards, my eyes sparkled of the emotion. – Perfect! I have bored to death. We bet, no? - Of course! – they nodded. - I’m going to leave us without money! – I said sure. I was happy because finally I had something of distraction and I not die of bored, but I still thinking in what she will be doing now. Before a few rounds and some beers, they had left me without money and they laughed of me and the previous comment. The beer was climbing me to the head and I didn’t want to do any madness so I stopped taking more. Unfortunately, the boys had gone, so I was lonely in the train again… In this moment seemed me the place emptiest of all London. I stood up of the couch and I went to room of my sister in search of a book. She had the room orderly except the bed that was not made with the pillows scattered for all the bed. I went to his desk and above it was the library. When lifting the arm hurt me the area, so I bend down of pain and a book fell into my head. - Ouch! Fuck! –I touched my head and then I looked the book that had fallen. – Moby Dick, interesting. – I took it and I lay on the bed of my sister.     A dim light woke me up, still I saw fuzzy and my body didn’t respond, the front window shows me that it was night, but even so I didn’t get focus the silhouette in front of me. Finally, my sight cleared, I sighed deeply, was Evie. She had his hair down and not was wearing the clothes of assassins. She turned and lay with me on the bed. I was surprised. - Hi. – I said while stretching my arms. My voice was dim still I was sleepily - Hi, I thought that you were sleeping. – She was looking the celling. - I was. – I laughed. – By the way, how was the mission? Did you find something? – I yawned. Yes! – She said happy, looking at me. – A key and a possible hint of his location. Evie accommodated in the bed giving me back, she put right the pillow and covered with the blanket. She snuggled. I cleared my throat I felt uncomfortable. No we slept together since long time ago, since adolescence when we share bed in winter. - If you don’t mind I will go at mi couch. – I said in low voice, she turned to look at me. - Stay, I don’t care, sure you’ll sleep better that in the couch. – I thought for a moment. At the end I acceded, without doubts a bed is better than thousand couches. I accommodated better in the bed, she gave me back, again. I took the blanket and I covered whit it until shoulder. I had cold, suddenly she turned at me. - By the way, how do you have the wound? – For a moment I stayed in a trance looking his greenish blue eyes highlighting with the faint light of the moon coming through the window, I did want to get lost in them and not come back, the freckles gave her looks innocent, hiding his real personality and his hair where some strands fell in his shoulder and landed to the pillow. I got nervous. I not even knew what had asked me and like a fool I replied a… - What? – I felt stupid in this moment and not only stupid also bad person for look my sister in this way. I want to die! She huffed. – What how do you have the wound… - Well, well don’t hurt me so much while not make rare movements. – She smiled. “Please Evie don’t look at me, because I felt the person more insignificant of world” - I’m glad, good night Jacob. – She yawned and closed his eyes. I sighed of relief and I closed too. - Good night. – I whispered. Definitely today I will be harder to sleep. Chapter End Notes I hope that you like the chapter, leave reviews and forgiveness for the mistakes of spelling Thanks!! :) ***** Chapter 2 ***** Chapter Notes See the end of the chapter for notes Chapter 2 - Again! – my father Said hitting the ground with his foot, Evie left hit the manikin, she gave me a compassionate look. – I have said, again! - I looked the manikin of wood and then my fists, I had them bruised, It ached when I bend my fingers. - I can’t, father please, give me a brake. – I said faltering trying to catch the breath. My sister was going to say something, but she kept quiet, clenched his fists and looked to the ground. He raised his hand, I closed my eyes and he gave me a slap in the face. - This way you won't come to anything! …………………………………………………. I woke up startled, I had accelerated breathing, I touched my cheek, then my forehead, I was sweating. I looked out the window, It should be about six of the morning, it was still night in London and the train windows were misted by cold. I had the feel that I couldn’t move and soon discovered why. My sister was hugging me like a child would do to his cuddly toy. Rest her head on my shoulder and enclose my torso with her arms. Sincerely I don’t know why fear more, if the fact that somebody will see us in this way or that Evie did any strange move and touch my wound… After a while I quieted down again, I was listening her quiet breathing that bit by bit was going leading me, accompanied for her heady scent. A sweet smell that it was reminding me my childhood…. I listened talking in dreams, I laughed. She was whispering nonsense things, I moved away a lock of hair that cover her face, everything was fine, until I listened her to name Henry. I felt a stab in the back I frowned “Jealous Jacob Frye?” I said myself, “ Of course!” my sister, my only family, the person whit who I’ve shared all of my life, now she prefer to go adventuring with Henry Green, the perfect man…. Has she got tired of me? To put up with a irresponsible person, childish…. Dam the day I wanted to go to London. Suddenly I felt somebody touch my cheek, I scared, I looked to a side, Evie was waking up, looking at me. - What happens to you. Are you annoying? – She asked me. I looked the celling again doubting what answer. - No. just I’m stressed, simply. I guess that is the pressure, to try be better and no disappoi… - I was not able to finish the sentence. Why she put her hands in my mouth. - Jacob. Don’t torture you. We just arrive. The rate we’re going we’ll get the districts. – I smiled, a fake smile, this not was the motif of my problems… but I couldn't say the truly, that really what happens to me is that I was jealous … is very humiliating, no? - Mmm, I guess. – It was the only thing that I said. - Try to sleep, brother. – She lay down again. “I’ll try.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- Had already passed two weeks in I have been in rest and for disgrace I will have to catch up with the hint about Starrick’s syrup. I was dressing and after to putting my shirt I looked my ribs, I had stayed a beautiful scar, one more. - Beautiful scar. – Evie said while going by, I rolled my eyes. - Knock before you enter! – I said annoyed - But, you not have door. – She laughed. – What a pity. – I showed my tongue. I dressed and I put my top hat, I like it, but Evie hate it, I think she would do anything to make it disappear. - Ready! – I said. – I’m off. - See you later. – not even looked me, with her concentration in a papers. When she wants, Evie can be so cold. I jumped out of train and I got in first carriage I saw. My destination? Starrick’s distillery. I took me a while to arrive. I went up to roof, there were some blighters, but a man focused my attention, He was and old man that trying to open the door taking care of not be discovered. The man finally joined me on my objective. So we’re investigating the place and we’ve discovered that the syrup contains opium, a narcotic and analgesic drug. Nasty! The objective is clear, destroy the distillery. I threw him out of the factory and I do the rest. At the end the factory exploded, all of building was in flames, I came out for the window on the last floor, with a leap of faith, I ran out. How I missed the fun! After weeks without doing nothing. - Good Job my friend! – I turned and I saw the man. – Charles Darwin. – He reached out and. – Nice to meet you. - Jacob Frye. - I grabbed his hand. – And the pleasure is mine. Darwin showed me what he had found, a book that indicated where had been exported the greater part of syrup… Lambeth’s Asylum. - Sir Frye please, be discreet. – Darwin said in part I felt offend he remembered me the Evie scolding. - Not worry! Always I am. – I showed him a crafty smile and said him goodbye. I went to the train to prepare how to come in to the asylum.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------- I arrived to the train, should be about six of afternoon, I listened somebody speaking on the room of my sister. It was clearly, that one of those voices was of my sister, but the other, I didn’t know who was. I got close to listen. - Miss Frye, I would want show you a book. - An herbalist? Do you want give flowers to somebody? – I discovered who was the another voice, Henry. - No, haha. I like collect them, but is a hobby that now I can’t afford it. – I listened Evie laugh too. – It is said that all flowers have meaning. - Yes. I heard about it. – She paused a moment. If you want, I can help you in your search. Really Evie? She knows that I’m having problems and I need help with the districts and she lend her help in search flowers for him. What's wrong with you, Evie? I was annoyed. - Is a detail for you part, miss Frye. If you want tomorrow, we could a walk. - I would like it. – She said. The last straw. I ran out to my room, because she was going to came out of her room. I sat on my desk. - Hi Jacob. – she told me with a smile in her face while she was looking the book. I turned the chair to see her. – beautiful book. – I said annoyed- Henry will be happy with your help in his search of flowers. – she rolled her eyes. – I see that you progress in your hunt of piece of Eden. I said with irony. - I’m so tired for your shit, Jacob. - She turn her back on me. - Of course, is very tired, go to collect flowers. – she turned looking at me. I think that somebody could die with her look. - No! what is tired is go to fix up your damage that you caused in the streets while you think that you're releasing London! – She screamed. - At least I'm about to finish the Starrick's business. What have you done? What have you got in your stay in London!? – I rose of the chair. – Tell me! – She looked me. Listen Jacob! –suddenly she shut up. – I don’t feel like to argue with a fool like you. - Her voice was contained. She spin around and left of the train. I threw myself at the sofa. I put my hands on my face, trying to reflect. Had I been excessive? Of course not! I have all rights to angry, all of time that we’ve stayed in London, Evie hadn’t done anything to liberate London. Of course! According to her, she would liberate London with the apple of Eden. I had wanted to throw something, so I involuntarily vent with the furnishings, but that not helped me to feel better. For disgrace, I had gone to asylum. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------- The mission was perfect as I had planed, the doctor Elliotson had died, he wasn't longer a threat and syrup had left produce. I went to the train, where the assassination wall and I crossed out the Doctor and all his network. “A step closer of Starrick” I looked his picture. Evie hadn’t arrived and seems that she would not do. Now my duty was advising Henry about the mission, but sincerely I hadn’t feel like to see him, I think that he would end with a bruise in his face. I would want enjoy for a quiet moment, relax me, so a climbed at the roof of the train to contemplate the stars and disconnect of this shit I hope that tomorrow be a better day. I looked the sky searching the stars that for fault of the factory steam I can’t see it. That was remember the nights in Crawley, Evie and I came out of garden after dinner and we were talking about nonsense also, we were doing jokes and sometimes we played to fight. I missed those moments where the major of our problems was, not to upset our father or George. However here we are trying to safe London and we’re behaving like a children.
