"Two lives,Two fates;The Ripper's Interest"

I ran as fast as I can as the sun started setting on the harbor. Sweats dropped from my face as my feet huts the cobblestone beneath me. Before I can turn to the light on an alley someone held my stomach and pulled me back,"No!" I shouted as the man behind me grasped me tighter. "Amelia!" the man shouted at me with a hoarse yet, as if it was being comforting and trying to be soft for me. "Quit running around you silly girl" he giggled a little. "And stop chasing me Louis!" I laughed as he brighten up when I calmed down and stopped moving. He is my brother, Louis James Ainsworth. My very own protector and best friend. He may sound good but he can be annoying sometimes. But he had been taking care of me since we were young, whilst our parents are away in some matters and businesses, he has been the one to cheer me up whenever I'm sad. Along with that is the tittle he's bearing as the heir of our family's business. That being said he is my muse. "Why were you running around?" He said with an annoyed look. "To tease you" I replied giggling. "Are we heading home?" to that he didn't respond, "Brothe-" I got cut off when I looked at him, his shocked face was screaming fear. When I looked at what his looking,my throat tighten. As if someone was choking me,tight. I saw our state burning in flames, our house "My home..." I snapped out from my wits when he shouted at me as he was running to our burning house. As I was running, I couldn't think of anything but our house in a state of dust, I could not bare the sight if that is to happen. I ran with Louis as fast as we can. When we arrived I saw my mother bawling her eyes out, I went to her and shared her mourning. My father's face was beyond happy,he was devastated.He was drenched with water by trying to put the fire out, his will was beyond my expectation as he grabe the pale of water and tried throwing it at the burning house. My brother did the same and tried helping my father. it was a pityful sight to behold. But the fire had engulfed the house rather quickly and We can't do anything but watch our beloved home burn to the dust and we sat there like a pile of homeless dogs. "Charles- What are we gonna do?" My mother asked my father with her quivering voice and lifeless like movements, to my father's response, "I will find a way,do not worry my dear.It's enough for me that you all are safe." He assures as he hugged her warmly.I went to my brother drenched which I can't tell anymore if it was water, tears, or sweats. Even with current state I hugged him. "Everything will be fine." he hugged me back. As night came we traveled from the outskirts of England to London.The city of mysteries and wild souls. Father suggested to stay here for quit some time until we finally recovered what we lost. As we were walking down the alley, I can't help but notice woman in every corner. My brother held my hand and put a coat over my face. "Here we are." My Father stated as he points to a small house between bigger buildings. "We shall stay here until we have enough to get in a new house again." He reassuringly spoke. We went inside the cramp and tight space with one bedroom and one bathroom. We all were tired from what happened earlier that day. So we all took a rest, we only have one bed, which me and mother took. Father and Louis made a bed together from the two spare couches in the living room. Morning came and I found myself sleeping alone. I went out and found them busy tidying the things that we have saved during the fire. I took my the bag where the ones I saved is inside and started unpacking them. In the middle of unpacking my brother sat beside me. "Amelia,I have some news to tell you." He said ,I can't understand the expression printed on his face. He looks happy but with a dash of sadness and bitterness, so I ask him. "Yes? Is something the matter brother?" Before he can respond father interrupted, "Your brother is leaving in a few days. He will be staying in states with your aunt to study and build a business of his own. We already talked about it last night." My father said in a monotone voice. I looked at him as if asking if it was true but instead of answering he looked down and it id sure now, I can see sadness in his face. So I just swallowed what I was planning to complain and tried understanding our situation. "I will miss you brother Louis" I smiled at him tenderly as if telling him that it's okay. I said what I can lie at the moment, that I don't want him to go, that I will not only miss him. He glanced at me and hugged me, "I will be back Amelia,for you." I hugged in response,I can feel the sadness in his voice behind my ear. "I will wait for you." Cheerfully I added to lighten the atmosphere between us. We continued the day cleaning and tidying everything. Days past by like minutes and the time had come for my brother and me to part ways. My father gave my mother a kiss as I walked my brother out the door, "I didn't know father is going with you." "He have to, he told me that he will guide me and he will recover the people he got business with there." I nodded in understanding as I looked on the ground not wanting on letting him know that I feel sad, that my chest is tightening up, that I don't want them leaving and seeing tears in my eyes. He hugged me tight, "I will come back Amelia, I promise." As the words came out from his mouth, I feel the wetness of my tears dripping out out my eyes. But I was glad enough that it wasn't tears of sadness, instead it was tears of joy and hope that after some years to come, he will return to me, and we will be one joyous family again. After some time my father called my brother, "Let's go." He said while he planted a kiss on my forehead as he smiled. I love that side of my father, so soft and sweet. I threw on a big smile and wave my hand while shouting, "I will wait for you to come back!" And the carriage wheeled away. I watched it as it started to disappear from the crowed and the distance. I shall live my following days with his promise within me.
