Guardian angel: Chapter 1
Mycroft was thrown into the dimly lit room and landed on the floor with a dull thud. The last thing he had ever wanted was this, his job was to protect his family, instead his sister was about to do god knows what to him and his brother was missing... or possibly dead. NO he couldn't think like that, he'd find a way out. He'd find a way out save Sherlock and rescue Euros from her own insanity.
A small sniff came from the other side of the room and Mycroft focused his gaze on the shape of a person hunched over and leaning against the damp wall. "Hello?" He questioned as he moved further into the room so that he could see the figure more clearly. When he was about half a meter away from the grey shape he saw that it was a girl, he looked closer and guessed she must of been about 15, possibly been here for more than three weeks and in need of a decent meal. "hello" he said again as he touched her arm, she flinched and moved away form him quickly.
All of a sudden the screen in the corner of the room switched on with a blue glow then the picture of Euros appeared on the screen "ah I see you've met my friend." Mycroft sat back against the wall a man defeated and asked "what's the plan here Euros?" Euros completely ignored her older brother and carried on with the monologue "She was a gift from our dear old friend Jim" Mycroft stopped and looked to his left where the girl was sitting her eyes avoiding the screen where the youngest Holmes was smiling unnervingly. "What do you mean?" he questioned as he turned back to his sister. Euros turned her head to the side and smiled at her brother "Moriarty thought that she would be useful for my plans." Mycroft swallowed "to kill me?"
"Well OBVIOUSLY. now you two get to know each other, I've got some final things to attend to" and with that the screen was black again and the room was plunged into dim light once more.
It was silent for a while until Mycroft heard a noise from beside him and a water bottle was held in front of his face "Thank you." the genius said as he reached for the plastic bottle and took a large swig. He turned back to the stranger once he had finished and tried to deduce her, after a few seconds he got nothing so decided to try it the old fashioned way. "what's your name?" he asked and saw the girl nervously adjust her position before replying "I don't really have one" Mycroft took a second to readjust his approach "what did Moriarty call you?" She scratched the back of her head and looked to the floor for a second "my field names death" as soon as the last word came out of her mouth Mycroft immediately stiffened "you're one of the four horseman. The hit team that takes out hundreds of people per year"
"We were forced into it" she angrily spat out "each one of us was kidnapped before we hit double digits. If we refused he'd randomly take someone of the street and kill them in front of us" he sensed the tone of hurt in her voice and realised she didn't like what she was doing as much as the people on the receiving end did "well what should I call you then" he started with that forced smile "I cant very well call you death. it doesn't suit you" she sniffed out a laugh and crossed her legs. The ice man thought for a moment and then found the perfect name "what about Griffin?" she sat up and looked at him strangely "the creature from Greek mythology?"
"suits you don't you think" he smiled "strong, legendary"
"okay then" she smiled "nice to meet you, my names griffin" she said as she held out her hand "Mycroft Holmes" he said as he took the girls hand and shook it.
"does your whole family have names that sound like they came out of a Dickens novel?" she laughed, Mycroft was about to reply when the screen in the corner of the room came back on and lit up the room once more "well now that's dealt with, onto the main event" Euros said calmly as she smiled at her brother and the girl beside him.
The room was silent for a while, just the three of them sitting there in silence that is until Griffin spoke up voice dark and serious "I wont do it Euros" the youngest Holmes blinked and turned her head to the side "we had a deal remember, you kill my brother and you get to go free. I don't hand you back to Moran and you can go about and do what all the other stupid little people do" Griffin took a deep breath and sat up a little straighter "I'm dead either way, this way however I don't have another innocent mans life on my hands. he doesn't deserve it, no matter what you're telling yourself"
Euros sighed and spun around in her chair slowly "well I guess its the hard way then" and with that she pushed a button and ten men with knifes resembling swords came in and lined up in front of the door. Mycroft stood up ready to except his fate, he took a deep breath and stepped forward further into the room... Well he would've if Griffin wasn't holding his arm. She pushed him back to where he was originally standing and stepped in front of him effectively blocking Mycroft from Euros' soldiers. "what are you doing?"
"Saving your arse, now shut up and get back." Mycroft tried to protest but before he could do anything Griffin jumped into the throng of the fight and was throwing punches left and right. It was one of the weirdest things the eldest Holmes had ever seen, a girl who couldn't be taller than 5'3 with no socks or shoes on, a hoodie and leggings tackling men at least three times her size to the floor. By the time he snapped out of his shock and moved to go and help her the last man was down and Griffin was standing in the middle of the carnage trying to catch her breath. "how d-" he started to say but she fell to the ground effectively stopping him short. Mycroft rushed to her side and saw that there was a large gash by her collar bone and one on her left arm that was bleeding profusely. "Well that was unexpected" Euros chimed from the corner and Mycroft looked behind him briefly to see his sister calmly thinking. he ripped his tie from around his neck and tied it above the cut on her arm, he then got the handkerchief out of his front pocket and held it firmly to the gash on her collar bone, she was unconscious and at that moment it didn't bode well for her safety. "she's far stronger than she looks brother dear, smarter too, I believe you'll come to learn that rather quickly" and with that the screen was turned off and the overhead lights were turned on. The genius ran to the door and tried the handle, it was locked. he then checked each one of the men but didn't find anything of use apart from the blades they carried. he grabbed one and moved back over to Griffin. He sat there for a couple of minutes before she opened her eyes and spluttered a little, she looked down at her arm and sighed "I'm getting sloppy" Mycroft laughed surprised and tied his tie a little tighter around her arm "I thought you did well"
"yeah well your not the one who's bleeding out on the floor" she spluttered again and winced as she jogged her arm. Mycroft sat with her and kept her awake for another ten minutes until the door burst open and five men in full swat gear came flooding into the room.
