(Y/N'S perspective again)

I could faintly feel my head being lifted off the cold ground. I couldn't open my eyes. My brain couldn't function properly anymore, but I couldn't give up.

I went into my mind palace, to figure out what to do. I needed to wake up, I needed to safe Mycroft. In my mind palace, I walked through the thousands of files stocked in there. I needed only one thing to get me to pull through. I walked into the folder I had hidden in the back of my head for long: My past. 

When I was younger, I had met Sherlock before. In fact I knew everything about him. In highschool, I was his best friend. But one day I was brutally murdered, orso Sherlock believed that.

After that incident, I went to Mycroft for help. I got a complete new identity. My name wasn't Y/N Y/L/N, It was Lauraine Withlock.

At that moment everything clicked into place. My murderer, Richard Brook. Richard Brook - a name dedicated to the case that made Sherlocks name: Reichenbach. Moriarity was the one who 'Killed' me in highschool. The first time I had seen him, he looked familiar, and now I figured out why. All of this was a escalated highschool drama, and I needed to end it.

I snapped back to reality, breathing heavily.

''Y/N!'' Mycroft yelled, he sounded relieved.

''Mycroft..''

I stopped for a second, then I carried on: ''You know that I asked you for help to change my complete identity long ago, around highschool. Did I ever tell you why?''

''Yess, you were murdered, what are you targetting Y/N?'' 

''Did I tell you who the murderer was?''

''No.''

''Richard Brook.'' I concluded.

''Never heard of him.''

''Come on Mycroft, think!''

I could hear Mycroft talking to himself, trying to figure it out. After about 20 seconds, his face went pale and his eyes widened:

''Hell no.''

''Yes Mycroft, It's all an escalated highschool drama. Moriarity was the one who 'killed' me in highschool.''

''Well, how are you alive then?''

''He burried me alive. I got out. I didn't recognise him anymore, untill about 5 minutes ago.''

''Please tell me you know what his plans are.'' Mycroft sighted.

''Oh, yeah. I know exaclty what his plans are.''
