life and death

Out of the Shadows

hey enjoy!

Lestrade :

I saw Sherlock sitting  on a bench in Hyde Park Corner tube station. His hat was covering most of his face but I still knew it was him. He was reading The Metro newspaper, his eyes fixed on one particular page. 

I walked towards him and sat down next to him. He said nothing but passed me the paper. I read it and sighed.  " What happened? " Sherlock asked.

I didn't know what to say.  " I don't know.  John got a message that he said was from me to come to Scotland Yard.  But I never sent him anything.  So I walked outside to meet him and that was when I saw him bleeding. About to collapse.  My girlfriend.  Karen. " I paused at her name. "She ran towards us holding a first aid kit.  Before we could stop the bleeding everything went black...... they said that Karen was pronounced dead at the scene. " I said struggling not to cry. " And John is in intensive care but he is doing well. "

"I'm sorry.  About Karen. " He replied quietly. I was shocked to hear him say something like that.  It was probably the nicest thing he has ever said to me.  I nodded.

" You love him, don't you?"  I said. He froze. " Just make sure he's ok," he answered.  Sherlock just won't admit it will he?

Sherlock:

what was I ment to say? Yes? I don't know. These feelings I have for John are always running amok.  If I said yes to Lestrade, he might not be my friend anymore because I'm gay. I must admit that I would be lost without my friends.  What if John didn't have the same feelings for me? I am scared that that he would reject me. That was new. I've never been scared in my life.

I sat there unable to answer a question for the first time in my life.  I heard a train wizz through the tunnel, nearing the station.  This was my chance to escape from Lestrade's questions.  " Sherlock? " Said Lestrade.  I sighed as the train halted  to a stop. " Just make sure that John is ok." I said  again and got on the train. Before he could say anything else the doors between us closed.

Karen :

I closed my eyes while Moriarty kept on whipping me. I couldn't scream, I couldn't move, I could barely breath. All I could do was to wait for it to stop.  I felt defeated.  I felt blood oozing down my back. I started counting the beatings. 10....11....12 ...15....18....20.

20 was the hardest. I felt my head give way and I hit my head against the back but of the chair.

when it all stopped I opened my eyes. The pain was intense. 

" Wait here." said Moriarty as he walked out of the room. Well I didn't really have a choice.  I was tied to a chair for Christ's sake. I knew that this wasn't over and that something worse was in store for me.

A long time went by and he walked back into the room.  I heard a thud as he put something heavy down. Like a large bucket.

  He walked towards me and untied me slowly.  "Get up. " he said.  I winced as I got up. My feet were shaking and I felt as if I was about to fall any second now. He took off the rope around my face and the cloth stuffed down my mouth. I gasped as I breathed in fresher air.

But it was short lived as he pushed me onto the ground. " On your knees!" He shouted.  I did so.  "Now let's play another game. You move or scream your dead.  Ok ?" I nodded.

please tell me if you want anything to happen later on. I will make sure it happens.  Please comment and vote :)
