Sorry this took so long, I have SO MUCH FREAKING HOMEWORK. Like goddamn.

Also, I want to give a shoutout to my friend taravosbornee , you should really follow and check out her story!

This is the alternate version of seasons 4s "the call" scene, we all know what I'm talking about, where it's if Sherlock failed the coffin test. Recommended by reggiegurl66 .  The "/" is where it switches to my own version. Enjoy!

"Molly please, without asking why, just say these words."

"What words?"

"'I love you.'"

"Leave me alone."

"Wait Molly! Molly please, please don't hang up."

"Calmer, Sherlock."

Sherlock Holmes gulped as he took a deep breath, feeling his palms getting sweaty at the singsong voice of his sister.

"Molly. Please just say those words. It's easy. Three words is all."

Molly let out a choked laugh, "easy. How so? You know I can't just... just say those words."

"Why not? Just say them- I... it's for an experiment of sorts."

Molly's eyes narrowed and disbelief contorted her facial features. Her hand holding the phone slowly dropped from her ear.

Sherlock gulped, "Molly?"

Shaking her head slowly Molly raised the phone once more. "An experiment," she whispered, "is that what I am to you? What- a lab rat in a test tube?"

Sherlock's eyebrows furrowed, "that's not what I-"

Molly let out a laugh that sent shivers down the detectives spine, "of course. That's what all humans are to you. How could I have been so silly?" At the last sentence Molly looked down, a more sullen look on her face.

1:02

"You're not silly, Molly. I promise it, you're not."

Molly let out a soft chuckle, shaking her head, "then why are you making me say those words if not to just prove it- to prove that you're a shark in a world of goldfish. Why do you have to prove yourself like this?"

"Molly please," Sherlock couldn't hide the crack in his voice, "please just say those words."

"I'd watch your tone if I was you," the voice of Eurus rang throughout the room but they bounced off of Sherlock's ears, his eyes wide with rage and fear.

0:40

"I won't. I'm sorry Sherlock. I can't and I won't. I'm not a fool."

"Damnit, Molly. Please!"

"Sherlock," Eurus warned softly.

"Why?! Why do you need me to say them so badly?!"

0:25

Sherlock let out a growl and John reached a hand out towards him. The detective swatted it away as the next words spilled from his mouth before he could stop them.

"Because your life depends on them, Molly!"

The screen went black. Everybody in the room froze, John and Mycroft staring at Sherlock with wide eyes.
