Aubrey Downfield was Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes's only niece, she was the daughter of their sister Lavinia and her husband George. Aubrey's parents mysteriously died almost a year ago and since then she's been living with her uncle Sherlock and his friend John Watson in 221B Baker Street. She occasionally spent some time with her other uncle Mycroft when he wasn't busy working in politics. Aubrey was much alike her uncle Sherlock, she was always the only one who dared to compete with him in anything involving thinking and deduction, she even won few times (Sherlock swore he didn't let her win, after all everyone knew he wasn't the type to give up for someone). Despite his nature, Sherlock cared about his niece and tried to protect her at any occasion, even though he didn't show his soft spot very often (well rarely ever), Aubrey knew she could count on him at any time and on everything. Aubrey even helped Sherlock establish his blog 'The Science of Deduction'. From time to time, the 16-year old showed signs of having the similar nature as her uncle, which never really pleased her parents but as her mother used to say 'you can't stop the genes'. Since her parents died Aubrey was determined to discover who and why killed them and capture him. So, far she got a few a leads, but nothing too revealing.
P.S. This is my first Sherlock fanfic, hope you're going to like it! :) Please review, I'd like to know if I should continue with the story.
