Disclaimer: I don't own Sherlock.
Hello, everyone, from London, England! Being in Sherlock and John's hometown has inspired me … okay, not entirely true (for this story, at least). I've had bits of this written for a long time; I've just decided to finally put them together to make a Sherlock story. More at the end of the prologue …
Holding my breath I slowly sit up. Moving the covers off my legs I let my feet find the floor. With one smooth movement I push myself off the mattress, pausing to see if he has woken up. He snores loudly, my cue to move across the bedroom and into the bathroom.
I don't dare turn on the light but I kneel down and open the bottom drawer. I pull out a flashlight – I'm prepared for this – and remove what I desire. I load the needle from a small bottle of liquid, the biohazard symbol taking a florescent glow from the flashlight, before carefully replacing it. I place the needle carefully on the counter before finding a cotton swab and rubbing it in a tin of gel. Taking the swab and the needle in my hand, I switch off the flashlight, waiting patiently while my eyes adjust well enough to the darkness.
The bedroom isn't as bad as the bathroom – moonlight is streaming through the windows – and I tip-toe to his side of my bed. I set the needle on the bedside table and slowly lift the blankets. I rub a small area of his leg right below his boxer shorts hem with the swab before reaching precariously for the needle.
The metal tip slides smoothly under his skin. For a second time that night I hold my breath but he doesn't so much as flinch. Good; the contents of the tin have done their job well. I push down on the syringe, watching the liquid leave the safety of the tube and enter his body. Pulling the needle out after every last drop is gone, I breathe a sigh of relief. The hardest part is done. Now all I have to do is go to sleep and wait for morning.
Yes. So.
I know this is odd and psychotic sounding (it's supposed to) but don't freak out yet. I also know that there is no reference to Sherlock or John in here but that, too, will come. For the first time ever, I am attempting a case!fic in addition to a sick!fic so bear with me as I sort it all out. I have a plan but my plans tend to go haywire during the writing process.
Also, please keep bugging me about this because I really do want to finish it and I have the time to do so!
Cheers =)
