Chapter 8:

Sympathism Act V

Darkness Between Roses


Jack Ripper

When he was born, his father named him Jack, after his grandfather who died in the first world war, Jack had a great talent for medicine, he read more than 20 books by the most renowned surgeons and did amazing research, and all this when he was in school, Jack had precise hands and motor skills. At the age of 12 Jack already had several talents including playing the guitar and piano perfectly, Jack had signs that he would be a great genius, Jack had a promising future and could even change the world around him...

However...

Jack lost his mother when he was 14, his father was a rather shallow and vulgar man, his father went out every night to drink, although this gave Jack some bruises, but when he was sober he was a good father to Jack, taught him how to fight and defend himself, taught Jack to adopt his values and always protect his honor. One night Jack saw his father come home with a beautiful lady.

"Son, get to know your new mother, be nice to her, and obey her, okay?" spoke Jack's father with a whiff of Whiskey

"Hello little boy, my name is Mary Ann Nichols, what's yours?" she said crouching down to the boy

"My name is Jack. Jack Ripper" Jack had spoken in an innocent tone and with a smile

Every night Jack heard his father and his new mother playing horse games, moaning and slapping were heard a lot, but Jack was always reading his books.But one night it was different, Jack had been late for school because he forgot his book in his desk at school, coming home he realized that his father's hat and coat was not hanging, "So once again my father is out!" thought Jack, relieved and went straight to his room and return to read the medical books that Jack loved so much, when he got to his room he was faced with a scene that Jack could only see in his older age.

"Hello little boy..." Mary Ann spoke in a seductive tone while standing naked in front of Jack, Not knowing how to interpret that scene Jack stood still, and by some fluke of fate his father arrived.

" Baby I'm home..." he spoke like any father of a family calling for his wife in a television series that aired every day"AMOR ME AJUDE!!" gritou Mary Ann para chamar o pai de JacK

Jack's father rushed to his room, and when he got there he saw his wife and son standing in the doorway staring into nothingness.

" Dear your son is a savage, he wanted to abuse me and took my clothes off" She spoke with crocodile tears and a tone of disgust

Jack's father had passed on his values to his son, one of those values is to always protect his "Honor", So he closed his fists and beat his own son because of jealousy and lies from a lady of the night, Jack's father that night was sad that he had beaten his son and even sadder that he knew that Jack was an alleged harasser, he was sad because he knew that his son would not accede to his values, thus throwing him out of the house.

That same night Jack was crying in a dark alley as he thought about how he ended up where he was, a 15 year old boy, a prodigy, who was kicked out of his home for acts that even he himself did not commit, Jack thought about the values his father had given him, which were:

                                                          "Always protect your Honor"
                                                    "Always keep in mind your wishes"
                                                         "Don't let them humiliate you"

and the most important of all these values was:

                             "Always see to it that those who do you harm...perish!"

At that very moment Jack had made up his mind that evil would perish before him, so he broke a window and took one of the sharpest shards, and went straight home, arriving there he kicked the door making it break the locks, making his father get up and go near him

"BUT WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING KID?! "His father stops at the same instant and feels the burning and tingling in his belly, the fear comes little by little, and at the same instant an intense pain, Looking into his son's empty and bitter eyes he is happy and sad at the same time, happy for what his son had become and sad for what he would become, Jack slowly climbed the stairs while his father bled on the floor of his house, arriving in the bedroom Mary Ann was lying down sanding her nails.

"Who was it dear? A friend of yours?" he spoke without looking back at the same time Jack with all his strength shoved and pulled the shard of glass into the calf of Mary Ann's left leg.

"AAAAAH BUT WHAT IS-.... JACK?!" screaming in pain Jack grabs the sheet and uses it to keep his fingerprints off

"First of all I want you to shut your mouth and I want you to know that I never did anything to you, you did it for what?" Jack says as he hangs himself using the glove sheet, so a little choked up Mary Ann speaks:

"Why.... because your father...only knew how to speak...about you...he was very proud of you...and told everyone...how brilliant your son was"

Slightly choking, after Mary Ann said this, Jack stopped squeezing her throat and covered her mouth even more tightly thus causing Mary Jane to not scream anymore, thus cutting her horizontally several times on her belly and causing Mary Jane to lose a lot of blood, yet Jack kept going until Mary Ann couldn't move anymore.

After 4 Minutes, Jack had murdered his first victim, Jack at that moment cried while looking at all that blood, Jack cried but at the same time felt proud, because he made his father's values his own, he cried but at the same time felt happy about it, Jack remembered what he had been through with Mary Ann, the psychological tortures Mary Ann had done, now he understood that it was because of Jealousy.

Jack heard a car pulling up in front of his house and so he jumped out the window and disappeared into the dark night, taking his father's black overcoat and his hat as his last souvenir, thus creating the serial killer who is known today as Jack the Ripper.

Jack spent 6 years in fights and assassinations, Jack no longer cared about medicine or any study, he just wanted to live in the ecstasy that was murdering a person, but once he failed to kill a person, with a sharp intimidating look in his eyes, Jack for the first time in his life felt fear with that man, the man with an intimidating aura spoke directly to Jack:

"If you wish to kill, I do not blame you, if you wish to hurt, I do not judge you...however if you continue to kill in this region...the one who will kill you is me!" The man spoke with a tone so defiant and so intimidating that it captivated Jack, causing Jack to ask:

"Who are you? and what is your name?"

"My name is Sisyphus... and I am the one who will change all of England!" thus says Sisyphus in a determined tone with a defiant look at Jack

After Jack hears Sisyphus' words, Jack decides to join him so that Jack can become his executioner.

                                                                                 ***

Just to think that one of the most feared serial killers in England is standing right in front of me is something that sends a chill down my spine, I never imagined that I would go through this.

"Poor Johnny who had everything in his life is now trembling for his life right in front of me, I never imagined I would have to kill one of my own members family" Jack spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"of my own limbs?!" I thought to myself

"After speaking Jack runs towards me and Alice, so I take Alice's hand and run towards the stairs, when I arrive at the stairs I see a pile of bodies and a lot of blood scattered; How did he manage to kill so many people in such a short space of time?! I keep running down the stairs Alice is still in shock over Luna's death but keeps running with me, in the middle of the stairs was a large hall of white tables for guests of honor I decide to run there, even though I did not know how I would lose him, in the main hall there was a bowl with amaranth flour, I stop and throw the bowl of amaranth over Jack, his mask and cape were bloody so making him stop.

"Ahh what a bag.... Damn Johnny" Jack speaks as he rubs his mask to get the amaranth off, so I follow running towards the large hall and close the large placed the wooden para art of a large lampshade to lock.

"Right so we'll buy some time" after speaking quickly I hide with Alice between the tables.

At the same moment that I am hiding Jack kicks the door causing the lampshade to break in two.

"HAAHAHAHAHAHAA... JOHNNY... You should think better before going to a place like this, you should be with your Shadows buddies" Jack speaks loud and clear for me to hear from wherever I am.

"It's amazing how mysterious you think you are Johnny, you three and your whole mob are not.... NOTHING" Jack kicks over a table trying to guess where I am.

"Sisyphus and all of the Rose of Blood know how you act, we know where you are, where you are going and how far you want to go, we have eyes and ears everywhere, we dominate London... and you.... ARE NOTHING" speaking in the same tone Jack tries to find Johnny kicking another table

"If you show up now Johnny...I promise not to kill the girl" Jack stops and speaks in a calmer tone

I stay silent and look directly into Alice's blue eyes, so I remember the gun that was given to me by Leonard, denying with my head Alice tells me not to go.

"I came here to protect you" I speak in a low tone close to her, giving her a smile and take the gun and hide it

"Okay... I'm here... you won't hurt her, right?" I speak with a serious tone and a sharp look

"Of course not... You need to trust the serial killer who kills people for fun more" Jack speaks in a sarcastic tone, moments later I pull out my gun and point it at Jack

"Fantastic Johnny, you now have in your hands a light of hope come on...shoot..let's see if you have the proper courage to pull the trigger-" before finishing the sentence I pull the trigger, a for not knowing how to shoot I hurt my fingers and hands with the pressure of the shot.

"Johnny... That was exciting... you were no good at all" Jack says looking at the wall next to the one I shot

"But now it's my turn" Jack at the same time he speaks pulls the white tablecloth that was on the side and throws it in front of him to hide and I start to shoot and move away in small steps, missing them all, Jack coming from below with the momentum of his feet and knees, takes my arm from below disarming me, thus using a little strength throwing me to the ground using my back.

"Really... Johnny, if you had any weapons skills I might be dead by now, but since you're scared little Johnny I had no problem" Jack says in a serious and sarcastic tone, using my arms to grab the collar of his neck.

"RUN ALICE, RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK" I say in a loud tone, Alice without a second thought runs to the main door to escape and ask Gerald for help.

"I need to get out of this situation as fast as possible" so Jack takes out a six-inch dagger and shoves it into my shoulder, and with his other hand he gives the other shoulder a sharp jab dislocating it, and at that moment I could smell blood and hear flesh being torn, and nothing else.

How?... my arms... I can't move them!

At that moment, I was in so much pain, but strangely I didn't scream, because at that moment the pain was insignificant compared to the despair of knowing that Alice was in danger, Jack gets up quickly and runs towards Alice, unable to move his head without any hope.

I hear only the sound of a knife sticking into flesh.
