The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The mysterious death of Lord Reginald: Lilith
The disguise worked like a charm, she was even treated to a ‘sir’ on the way in and her partners in monster hunting could tell that she was enjoying herself.The place looked better than it did in the morning, it was clearly meant to be enjoyed at night and with all the implications that come with it. The Night Rose was working near its limits of capacity.No doubt that most people there were here for gossip, drink, entertainment or companionship, no matter what a man had died in it 24 hours ago, the poor maids tried to put a brave face on and look amicable but it was clear that these women could barely do their job…clear to Elizabeth at least.Henry spoke in a whisper "I will go first taking the east of the place" he then directed a glance at Thomas Kent and said "If someone asks the nature of your presence just say you are my valet since men of your fortune don’t often appear in this places." he then heads off to his destination.There was a fraction of a second where Thomas felt re

Elizabeth finished her drink quickly and walked a respectable distance between her and Lilith, not enough for her to feel like she was being tailed.Lilith apparently came to greet another Lord, this one she recognized Lord Maleon who was part of parliament, and she was being very sweet by greeting him.She secured herself in a dark spot and in earshot distance."Lord Maleon" her voice was more seductive now and her actions were bolder "all the girls are fighting to spend time with you" the mature grey-haired gentleman was responding very well to her advances "lucky for both of us…it’s my turn.""Miss Lilith" he was happy for the attention "you have always denied me, told me no, and now you are seeking me out." he could barely believe his luckThe beautiful dark-haired woman placed her hand on his chest, leaning closer to him "I must admit I was shy" she was clearly playing him up but he was enthralled by her "but now I can’t fight this anymore… let's go up and spend the night togeth

The coachman under Henry's employ drove his carriage as quickly as he could towards Whitechapel, the destination was Saint Mary Matfelon.Whitechapel was at a crossword at the time being, an illustrious place beginning to deteriorate, some parts of it were becoming quite tragic as many people were pushed to small rooms together cramped.And there the carriage when trough ti streets while inside the vehicle Elizabeth that was calmed and collected explained what Thomas and her experienced, the young lord said nothing just heard them he was thinking they were mad but he did saw how upset Elizabeth was when he saw her.She was still in gentleman's clothes but her hair had been styled back to one of a lady.His sarcasm would not help matters, so he just looked at her in disbelief trying to believe her but failing to do so, it was too fantastical for him. Henry was determined to get her to the ‘nun’ and fulfil her need but there was no way he would fall for her story.Thomas sat beside her

Sister Margaret took bold steps towards the creature with a stake in her hand "I will send you back to hell you demon" she was aiming towards the vampire’s chest."You fool…" Lilith said as she held the woman’s hand that held the wooden stake "you are mistaken if you think that you could dispose of me, you don’t even understand what I have been doing." her strength was so that the nun’s legs quivered and rested in a kneeling position.Even tho her body had betrayed Sister Margaret spirits did not "I don’t care because you can only do the work of the devil, and like him so shall fall." the determination in her eyes was great but Lilith’s grip was mightier.Thomas thought quickly and took a silver coin from his pouch and aimed it at Lilith’s hand, the one holding the sister, and threw it at her quickly and precisely that was enough for her to let go of her victim.Sister Margaret fell to the ground, and Lilith ran towards an abandoned building nearby, Thomas and Elizabeth ran towards th

Thomas opened the door with a kick fearing a deathly end to his new friend, but alas it was Elizabeth there laying beside Lilith’s body, he rushed to her side and help her up."It seems you didn’t need me to finish this." He said with a friendly smile allowing her to shift her entire weight on him."I was too scared to shout for you…" she said modestly while standing up and being close to Thomas’s body "I am surprised that I could manage this, it was not pleasant at all.""But you did" He reassured her kindly."We need to return to sister Margaret" she said as she cleaned her skirt from the dust and debris and walked beside Thomas getting away from the remains of Lilith the Vampire.They left the abandoned building to find the nun standing at the scene of the crime while police surrounded her, they were investigating the death of Lord Henry Lewis and his coachmen.With an understanding look she glanced at them, and with a nod, they confirmed the end of the nightly creature.The next m

Elizabeth had set up shop a block away from oxford street, which would help with ‘customers’. The place had a large window glass, giving a good view of the street, with letters painted on it reading: Society of Strange Occurrences; the door was beside the glass and it was painted green, as it was Elizabeth’s favourite colour.It was a two-room establishment, the first one was for people to entertain people that came in with their supernatural problems; It consisted of a desk and a table with chairs on the side. This was where Elizabeth was at the moment sorting out the place, making it look tidy and welcoming as possible, Thomas had gone out to run some errands. when she heard the bell from the door ring.Standing behind her, and just entering, there was a hunky Scotsman with a smile on his face ready to greet her “well, hello there.” he said with a completely understandable Peterhead accent.He had soft reddish-blond hair and a thick beard, and he was dressed as a countryman farm

Elizabeth and Thomas were on the way to the village of Crawley, on the west of Sussex, they travelled by carriage and had relative ease and comfort inside of it.Thomas would have loved to look out the window but there wasn't much to see as a fog had fallen over their route.In front of him, Elizabeth was reading some books, courtesy of Sister Margaret, and compared them to the notes she had taken from Alan Murray, she was lost in thought.“You look quite alluring while you are concentrating” the afro-brit said looking at her, she took her face out of a book and beamed him a smile.“That’s because the case we have is interesting” Elizabeth said while fixing her hair, leaving the book in her lap “it also helps that the company I keep is silent, reliable and visually appealing”.The atmosphere changed to playful and coquette.“Well, then I am glad that I can be silent, reliable and visually appealing…” he said chuckling “would being brooding help or break the spell?”“I don’t think bein

The carriage stopped at the threshold of the village.“That’s as far as I will take you” the coachman said through the special window and moved to the back of the vehicle to take care of their cases, he wanted to leave the place before sundown.The passengers stepped out of the carriage and lucky for them Mr Murray was waiting for them. “Welcome…” he said as he extended his hands towards Thomas and Elizabeth “I am glad to see you again Miss Carter.” he said dashingly.“Oh please call me Elizabeth, I insist” she said shaking his hand.“And you must be her associate” he extended his hand towards Thomas.“Yes, Thomas Kent, nice to meet you, Mr Murray”The Scotsman patted him on the shoulder “call me Alan, if the lady insists on using her name so will I…” he moved to where the coachman was and helped him with the cases “I came down here knowing the carriage might not want to come to our little village I am surprised he has taken you so far.”Thomas joined him and lifted some of them, div

The mob walked at them with a powerful and angry pace and when the team looked backwards the Hounds were growling at them with an ready expression.Apparently Misses Crisco shared all the information with her husband and they decided to turn the entire town of Crawley against Maggie.There was no were to go and the angry contingent of people moved to them with the clear intention of harming anyone on their way to get what they want.Elizabeth didn’t know what was worse the angry mob or the supernatural creatures from hell coming after them.As the crowd got closer they started surrounding Maggie and shielding her but Nathaniel Cirsco and his wife Genysys had a way with their methods, they manage to circle around them.The hounds were blocked off, but they weren’t withdrawing either and the sense of danger increased by the second.And they were not relenting but pushing forward to try to break the circle so they could get their hands on the ‘cursed’ woman, and front time to time one o

Everyone in the room was silent, she was giving a solution that didn’t make sense to them and it was certainly not amusing the mayor Sawyer.Thomas was surprised by her words but on a quick inspection, she was right. Mayor Swayer held his daughter close “I think you better explain yourself at once'' the idea was not at all appealing to him in the slightest.His only living child eloped with the grandson of a witch, he was not going to allow that in any shape or form. Not without a very, very, very good explanation. Elizabeth extended her hands forward signalling everyone to stay in place and give her time to explain, her breath was heavy after that horse ride but she was determined to save Maggie “Thanks to Thomas's brave efforts…'' she said acknowledging her companion “we found out that Hellhounds are given a name to destroy, they can't harm innocents only the person whose name was given to him. The answer then is to change her name'' She was starting to make sense to everyone e
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Hellhounds of Crawley: Racing against the sun
Elizabeth had waited for hours and the sun was threatening to completely disappear, she was worried and alone. She had paced back in forth for hours and had sat on a nearby rock too.She was scared for Thomas and the mission he had embarked on alone, he could be dead or been fragged to hell, and everything her mind could come up with was unnerving but luckily a familiar purr was heard down her leg helped her ease her down a bit, it was Claudia Martins's calico cat, Missy. She picked her up and held her in her arms and petted her holding her close to her chest.“How are you feeling miss Kitty?”. the cat meows at her as it starts moving her head in circles against her chest “You must have been very scared and alone, don’t worry I’ll take care of you so you don't have to be alone anymore''.They kept each other company until she heard the steps of someone running out of the cave and from the dark and shadowy cave Thomas Kent's image appeared, he was breathing fast and with an extremely
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Hellhounds of Crawley: The cave from Hell
Elizabeth and Thomas were determined to find this cave and they decided to go prepared, crosses, holy water and anything resembling faith. If this truly was going to be a walk through the caves that lead to the pits of hell they wanted to be as close to heaven as possible.They walked up to Clauida’s house since they thought that there might be a chance that the gate to hell would be nearby.The once peaceful place was now destroyed and torn open by an angry swarm of people, in their fear-mongering minds there can be no traces of a person that called on the devil.Thomas and Elizabeth searched for hours, the grounds near the house and had even gone as far as to return to the home itself to see if the cavern was inside of it.But there was no trace of it so they started walking from it outwards to expand their search and in a couple of yards, Thomas found the dreaded entrance.There was a sombre aspect to it, while they found what they needed deep down they didn’t want to believe that
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Hellhounds of Crawley: Looking for a way forward
A quick envoy to Murrey would alert The Society to the most basic of information about the events of the last night and urged them to go directly to the mayor's house.The pair of detectives walked to the Sawyer house to find a congregation of familiar faces as soon as they crossed the threshold of the house.Sitting on the Sofa you could see Genysys Crisco with a cup of tea in hand looking both angry and upset, Rory Thompson resting against the wall in the corner, his body language was one of not wanting to draw attention. Lucas Sawyer was standing behind his daughter in a protective stance with a concerned look in his eyes, Maggie had a tired and pained expression this was waying on her heavily. The Reverend of Crawley was also there, bible in hand in his full attire, with holy water in one of his pockets pacing around the room.Elizabeth and Thomas took steps closer to them and when they finally found the courage they finally spoke “What happened? Tell us, and spare no detail”Th
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Hellhounds of Crawley: The Hunt beigns
Maggie was walking down the streets in the early night accompanied by Rory Thompson, they shouldn’t be walking together but they just couldn’t be that far away from each other. Rory was a little more protective now of her, while her father believe danger had passed the Thompson boy was not that at ease since he heard the events of the death of Claudia Martin. He made sure that Maggie knew some of the details of what happened there, as least graphic as possible but he avoided the alleged curse that she left before giving herself to the dark one. Maggie was happily being led by Rory as she was latching onto his arm, she felt happy, she hoped that this was a thing they could do in daylight, going on picnics and strolling down the streets like men and wife. There was a small almost imperceptive sound reminiscent of a hound that got Maggie to stop and turn her head back to the road they were walking “Did you hear that?” Rory looks back to where she is facing but he shrugs his shoulders
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Hellhounds of Crawley: Aftermath
Elizabeth sat comfortably at Alan Murray's kitchen table. A cup of tea was resting near her with toasted bread and slices of cheese as the house owner was taking off her bandages to clean her burn. Alan took a soft wet cloth and started to clean the wound gently, even tho his movements were slow and careful she still winched in pain ever so often “Do you think it will leave a mark?” “I am afraid it will Lass, this is going to be with you for life…” He says completely sure but smiles at her “But it will be a reminder that you saved someone's life once, a person that was dear to me” Elizabeth hissed as the burned flesh on her palm was being cared for but tried to keep high spirits “It was my pleasure, I know that Michael is very dear to you…and the type of attachment you made with him after your wife died.” Alan was silent for a couple of seconds, that was a secret he didn’t want anyone to know about there was something about this London girl who knows more than a Lady should that ma
The Victorian Society of Strange Ocurrances The Hellhounds of Crawley: The burning of the witch
After the events that transpired at the mayor's Lucas Saweyer’s house where an undead attacked the only living child of the town’s leader, Maggie, by moving corpses commanded by the town's doctor Claudia Martin. The residents of Crawley had been shaken that night and the whole affair was aggravated by the days of fear that they had experienced with the fog and the horrible images it could be holding, the imagination was an enemy to the people of this town. When this type of tension, feelings of unsafety and fear collide in people's lives for this long it pushes people to their most primal selves…and the residents of this town had enough of all three and qualified their actions after the events transpired as primal would be too kind. The burning of a Witch had not been a thing in civilised England in a long time, even the late Queen Anne had pardoned one Jane Wenhamw from hanging a century ago out of the out barbarity of the whole affair, and probably due to her innocence. But the c
