Sherlock stopped walking, hearing John take a breath. "Hetty.."
"Yes, Sherlock. He's there." I said. Sherlock gripped my arm for reassurance, but I slowly peeled his fingers away from my sleeve, and stepped forward. "Why now? Why here?" I asked.
There was no reply.
"the drama. Of course." I snorted. "but why come back, when you could live your life without taking the risk that would take you straight back to Azkaban?"
"A job once started must be finished." His voice was muffled, but it once again reminded me of everything I stood up against.
I heard something change in the way Sherlock was standing. Presumably he had moved closer to John.
"But why kill in the first place? You were obviously going to get caught." I asked. I had to keep him talking.
"Sherrinford Holmes put me in Azkaban." He growled.
"It was a joint effort." I shrugged. "And why take it out on Sherlock?"
"What better way to hurt you?" My father asked "Other than to hurt your family?"
"But why not kill... Oh. You didn't want to anger my mother. You didn't want to be killed." I said.
"Now, I don't care. I just want my revenge."
"Revenge for what?"
"Three years in Azkaban! Three years of bad food, stuck with only my worst memories for company! Three years! While you just stay safe in that stupid manor house, laughing at me. While you run around America with your brother, under your mother's protection. Happy. You sent me to Azkaban, and you were happy!"
I could see him grip his wand under his cloak so hard his fingers turned white.
I struggled to find something to say, anything to delay the moment of when he used his wand.
"So... How did you escape?" I asked, even though I knew the answer.
"They let me go. I had tricked them into thinking that I was harmless. They fell for it like the idiots they are. Any other stupid questions?"
"Well..." I muttered. "Now I come to think about it," I gripped my wand and my sword "I think that's all..." I was still stalling for time, even though he knew what I was doing.
Suddenly he raised his wand.
"Avada kadavra!"
I instinctively ducked, only to see the Sherlock's dead body tumble over the side of the tower.
The story is not finished yet! Do not delete it from your library! I just have to write one more chapter, and publish it, and then publish the final chapter! (then you can delete it from your library)
