LONDON, 1879

i was running through the streets of london, trying to get away from my parents guards that were chasing me. after a while if not paying attention, i ran smack into someone's back, knocking the both of us over.

"oh my goodness i'm so sorry. i really didn't mean to." the man turns around and shoots me a smile. his curly, brown hair falling into his face.

"it's alright. now may i ask, why were you running so fast?"

"um, i kind of ran away from home. my parents were trying to force me to go do my work as the lady of basilweather but, i never wanted my power so i ran off and now those guards" i point to the people looking around "are chasing after me. they aren't very bright." i laugh. "i'm constance. constance tewksbury."

"i'm sherlock holmes."

AN
