Strangest Stranger

"Miss Ally, where are you hiding?" I hear a voice say, dragging out sounds like a snake would.

It's dark and cold. How does he know? He wants me to give him the baby. I can't; I haven't even had it yet, but he still can't have it. It's mine and Sherlock's. I'm hiding from the voice.

I feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, and something or someone grips my arm, turning me around.

"I've found you." The person says, almost literally hissing.

I try to run, but I won't budge. The pain, from him squeezing my arm, shoots up my body, and I cringe. Then, it gets a little lighter when someone wraps their arm around my waist from the other side, and puts a gun to (the snake) Moriarty's head.

The other person's voice says, "Let go or I swear I'll blow your head off."

Moriarty laughs, a sound that makes my skin crawl, then says, "You think I'm scared of you Mister Holmes? Well, I'm not, because you're just like me."

Sherlock says, "Let. Go. Of. Ally. I'm not afraid to put a bullet in your skull."

Moriarty's grip gets tighter, and I feel my knees buckle, but I don't fall over. He lets go, and Sherlock pulls me into his arms. Sherlock breaks into a run, pulling me with him. I hear a gunshot, and Sherlock stops.

"What, Sherlock? Why'd you stop?"

I see him look down, and follow his gaze. The color drains from his face, and I catch him from falling. The hole goes all the way through, meaning it's fatal. I can't live without him, so what will I do?

I say, choking back tears, "I can't lose you. Please Sherlock, please stay with me."

He coughs, meaning his lungs are probably filling up with blood, and he says, "Ally, I-I love you. Remember that. I love you so much."

I smile, spitting tears, and saying, "I know, baby, I love you too. I always will."

He tries to smile, but I see his chest stop moving, and hear him stop breathing. His eyes are open, looking at me with a pained expression that seems to stab me in the gut.

My eyes leak tears like rain, falling onto Sherlock's blue scarf. I then feel a sharp blow in my back, and collapse onto Sherlock's chest, moaning his name before passing out completely.

(A/N): I know this chapter is short, but that's because I wanted to give you a cliffhanger! mwahahahahahahahaha...the next chapter is being saved now, so you can go read it. Gotcha there, didn't I?
