Chapter 5: Her safety is my duty not my burden

Sherlock's POV

Patiently, sitting in my armchair waiting for something to at least make the slightest amount of sound. But nothing happened. I sighed and slumped back further into my armchair, not caring if someone walked in right at this minute of time. I heard footsteps, sounded like John but something was up. His footsteps were heavy and quick as if he himself was on edge. John burst into the main living quarters with his mobile securely resting against his ear. His eyes widened and he began to stutter in the spot. He hung up on the person he was on the phone with and instantly ushered me out of my armchair as fast as he could.

"John, what has gotten into you? What is it?" I asked him curiously

"We have a case Sherlock, but it’s at (SN)." He said solemnly

My eyes widened at the sudden intrusion of (SN), wait isn't it the school (YN) works at? I became anxious and worried for the safety of (YN). John flung my coat and scarf at me and began to run out of the door but i began to speed up and eventually overtook him as we hurried in a rush to get to the school where the woman who i couldn't deduce was currently at. I feared for her, i truly did. But i must keep my composure for her sake.

For (YN)'s sake.

The taxi arrived at (SN), i instantly searched for (YN) when i saw her. She was cowering in fear and shaking like a leaf. Our eyes met, her (EC) eyes were filled with tears and were on the verge of spilling when i saw her run. She was running straight towards me and John, closer and closer she came towards me until... she wrapped her shivering arms around my slim waist. With tears streaming quickly down her face, i embraced her shivering body. I was never one for physical interaction but i just couldn't resist her, her now frail and innocent feelings were now making me develop something only known as 'safeguarding'. She began to calm down as soon as i began to rub soothing circles into her back, her ear-splitting cries reduced to light sobs like those of a babe. She unravelled her arms from around my waist and our eyes met once again.

"(YN), what happened?" John asked (YN)

"Another, another colleague is dead..."  She sorrowfully spoke

"What?"  John and I asked in unison

"I came into my classroom and went into (RFN)'s old office and i just saw her... dead and pinned to her office wall"

No emotion except sadness escaped (YN)'s lips

I didn't like this one bit, and John knew that. He could see that.

"There is something else isn't there, something you aren't telling us?" I only deduced that from her

"Please (YN) we're here to help!" John told her
