Your New Father(A Benedict Cumberbatch Fan Fiction)

Chapter 22

Benedict Cumberbatch POV~

"Cecil! Jade! Wake up!" they slowly opened their eyes and stretched.

"Yes Ben?" Jade askes while yawning.

"Do you recognize this?" I gave them the earing.

"A feather earing?" Cecil said sounding as if he had never seen it before.

"Isn't this?" Jade was stunned. She knew what it was.

"scarlet's earing. The only thing her parents left for her! She must had passed by here!" she said. Immediately, we ran to the officer ans told him about it.

"A sign of hope. She must be near here."

Scarlet POV~

"What's happening in Linda's room?" I askes laying down on the bed. I was too tired after thinking on how to save Edmund for a whole day.

"You know what's going to happen..." Williamson muttered. He was almost asleep on a couch on the right of the bed.

"Do you mind if I sleep on your bed? I promise I won't touch you." he said out of no where.

"Why?"

"I can't sleep on this couch it's too short, my legs are getting tired..."

"Fine."

"Thank you." he said with his eyes half shut while climbing up to the bed.

"Don't steal all the blanket."

"I don't need a blanket, I can use my coat."

"Oh... well then goodnight."

"No wait you want to talk a bit?" he said and turned and looked at me. I thought about it for a while. I was indeed really tired but at the same time, I didn't mind chatting with someone.

"Sure." I said in the end.

"Well, tell me about your boyfriend, Cecil."

"Thought you said you know him."

"I do but not by person."

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yes."

"Why did you stalk Cecil?"

"Because I thought he was the one who was going to get kidnapped and I did heard he was an easy going guy but instead you this stubborn, crazy, fierce girl was kidnapped." 

"Well..." I said and I kept quiet. I decided to keep quiet since that was how he thought of me.

"But I guess this is how you'll have to work with The Black."

"How did you know?"

"I read about Cecil dating The Black in school. Why black by the way?" he asked.

"Black is a dark tone colour. The word dark reminds me of evil."

"I bet there's more to it."

"Yes but now I need to sleep, I need to see Edmund tomorrow."

"I doubt it..." he said immediately after I finnish my sentence. I didn't answer him, I was too tired.

The next day was a Saturday. Williamson said that those three won't be home during the most of the weekends which was the best time for us to start any move. I woke up at 8am seeing Williamson still asleep, I must say his face was indeed quite hot. I looked up and saw Edmund being tied as usual, he was back.

"Edmund!" I screamed as I jumped of the bed and ran towards him. I sort of woke Williamson up.

"Dude!" I hugged him.
