"Im going to be late, Dammit!" i cursed lightly, tying the crisscross on the back of my dress, slipping on my heels.

after i finished i put on some quick make up , and grabbing my clutch.

Before i left i did a quick once over

Perfect.

i smiled, leaving my flat and al of my worries behind me.

i was going to have fun.

<><><><><>

i gently knocked on the door of 221B, met with Sherlock and John , whom were both dressed in apropriate clothing for a masquerade.

i smiled.

"You guys ready?" i ask , smiling, and with a nod we left , driving to the murder.

<<The murderer didnt find us, so we found it.>>

i exited the cab , amazed as i looked at the vast mansion that lay ahead of me.

i thanked John for paying, and we walked into a brand new begining for all 3 of us.

,.,.,

the lavish halls of the mansion were decorated with art, the portraits of its fromer owners.

"So , fill me in on whats been going on." i say looking at them , we sat at a small table , 3 name tags with our names on them also attached with another card.

"Well so far, a murderer as been killing random people, leaving small little clues showing that they murderd them. In this case all of the murders have been anonymous , but the only thing connected for every one of them is that they all had this mark in there skin , carved by a blunt weapon." Sherlock said, showing me a picture of what looked like a symbol i knew.

"You do know that is a Pentagram , supposedly used by dark wizrds to summon demons and other entities. this was marked upon a sacrifices skin before they were killed . it was supposed to help give it to the devil or whatever evil god or godess they worshipped." i say , looking around at everyone else , crowds of people chatting lightly , drinking champange .

i shook my head retunring back to our conversation.

"What exactly led you to this ?"  i asked, drumming my fingers on the table as i gazed at both of themm.

"Well, we dont exactly have a legit reason , but we did get this in the mail yesterday , no adress or any connections atached to it. but it has the same symbol on the bottom of the invitation." sherlock pointed at the small pentagram on the bottom of the invitation.

"So , in theory , you guys came to a masqueradeparty where you could get killed by anyone and have no one know due to the fact of the masks?" i asked, suprised by there course of action.

with 2 nods i sighed, brushing my fingers through my hair.

"Excuse me, can i have your attention please?" a loud commanding voice said, its volume geting everyones attention.

"I aprreciate everyone attending this party. Everyone wil be given an alternate identity. Now go back to eating and drinking, this party is, well to die for." the loud voice announced, waiter quickly walking in with drink.

"To die for eh, Indeed."  i say , taking a sip of water.

My identity is : The Nanny

Johns Identity is : The Doctor (i totally disagree with that by the way)

and lastly Sherlocks identitiy is : The Librarian

this was going to be interesting.
