Special Chapter : Why Me, Sherlock ?

Third Person's P. O. V :

It was a bright and sunny day today in the streets of London. The year was XXXX. Many things have changed since he fell off that bridge that led him to his death or rather their deaths. A man was just sitting in a café and was patiently waiting for someone while, drinking some tea and was lost in his thoughts. He is William James Moriarty, he was 24 years old this year, second son of Willford and Adelaine James Moriarty, he had two brothers, an older brother named Albert James Moriarty who was 6 years older than him and a younger one named Louis James Moriarty who was 1 year younger than him. He was a Math Professor at Durham University. He also had a dork of a lover that he loved very much.

But there was also another thing to him. He was once known as "The Lord of Crime", yes, he was that Lord of Crime in Conan Doyle's famous detective novel entitled Sherlock Holmes, he was Detective Holmes' archnemesis, Professor Moriarty. The criminal who had killed countless of lives during his past life. However, there was a reason as to why he did that many crimes in his past live and that is to remove the class system that was in between the nobility and commons.

Many of the nobility in his past lives have done many unforgivable sins that has caused many commoners to suffer. Some lost their loved ones. Some were killed. Some were made as their playthings. That's why, he made it his goal to bring equality to all but most of all, he wanted a new world for his younger brother, Louis, where he can enjoy his life and do the things he always dreamt of doing without being ridiculed by the nobles who only thought of their status and wealth.

William had made it his goal to create a new world for Louis along with the other commoners and their children who were suffering. That's why, when the opportunity to make his goal a reality, he immediately took it without a second thought and that was by becoming a noble's child along with his brother. He killed an entire family along with their son, whose identity he took and made it his own, with the help of the eldest son's help, after the massacre of the entire family, he and his brother Louis were known as William and Louis James Moriarty alongside Albert who was the legitimate child of the Moriarty family.

From then on, all three of them prepared for their grand plan on overthrowing the aristocracy and bring equality to all. He even recruited some people to help them to achieve this plan of theirs to become successful. However, it order for this plan to succeed, all three of them brothers must die however, it was he who only died, leaving behind his family and friends. William has always longed to die, it was his one and only dream, to die. It was his way of atonement for all the people who he had killed just to make his plan a success, his way to atone for all of his sins. Like he said, he was the only devil left in the world because, he has killed all the devils there were.

He had done many unforgivable sins in his past live, that's why whenever he looked at his hands, he shall always be reminded of the many people he killed because, his hands will forever will be stained with their blood. William always felt that he didn't deserve to live since, he has killed many people, he didn't deserve it at all especially being with him. The one person who actually understood him. The one person who saw who he really was inside. The one person who understood his pain, his sufferings, his sins, his loneliness. The one person, he wished to be with during his last moments. The only person he wanted to be with before he died.

Indeed, William had a family and friends by his side but, he was still lonely. Since, they all put him on a pedestral and they were all relying on him and his intelligence. He never once showed his true emotions to anyone since, everyone always looked up to him and was expectant of him. Everyone of them always relied on him. That's why, William always masked his emotions. Hiding them away from the world and storing them inside his heart. However, who did he relied on? No one. He was alone without a single person who actually understood him. He didn't had a single person who he could share his feelings to. He had no one by his side even though he had many people near him. He was suffering from the inside and yet none of them noticed it. Suffering from all of the sins he did and suffering from the pain all by himself without a shoulder to lean on.
