Chapter one First appearances make everything...

Jim was furious, who was this man who has suddenly appeared out of nowhere and interfering in his game he was playing with HIS Sherlock, did he not realise that with playing with fire he would more than likely get burned especially when he was holding the matches. This is all Jim Moriaty kept saying to himself when John Watson was first introduced into Sherlock Holmes life and became his flat mate, Jim couldn't believe such as ordinary person could attract the attention of such a person as Sherlock Homes. Jim decided from that day he would make it his duty to make John Watson realise; Sherlock was his toy to play with and he definelty didn't share especially with dull unintelligent ordinaries such as John Watson.

It wasn't until much later that Jim finally met the real John Watson face to face (not the loyal lapdog that followed Sherlock everywhere in those scruffy woolly jumpers and below average intelligence) but the one that day at the pool side. This John Watson that was a very dangerous, loyal, quite intelligent and unpredictable factor he couldn't manipulate, change or frighten and boy how this simple man excited him. Thinking back Jim remembered the dark look John gave him when he told him his plans, how those blue eyes turned black with hatred and when he touched him how he stared him down and refused to cower even when threatened with torture and death. Jim had never felt so turned on, he would never admit it but he would give John the world to see that look again.

It was from this day he found himself becoming more interested in the workings of John Watson, what he ate, how he dressed, where he worked and what he was like as a person and the more he learnt the more he liked. Jim found himself researching more and more into the life of John Watson and just when he thinks he has worked him out the man surprises him and manages to turn everything he has learnt upside down leaving him back at square one. John Watson was an enigma and was fast becoming his new obsession not only that Jim found himself feeling things he has never experienced before, Jealousy being one of them. On top of that a possessive streak like no other especially now; since he noticed that Sherlock and his damn interfering brother had felt it their duty to keep HIS John under surveillance 24/7. Jim couldn't quite remember when John suddenly became HIS John but he always feels himself smile when he thinks about it, John was going to his he would make sure of it, especially now since he found himself hating the way Sherlock touched him or made him smile. Jim couldn't help but grimace when Sherlock made John laugh or smile, it was his job to make John smile like that and now those distasteful women had entered the mix he was definitely not happy, evidence of Jim feelings on the matter was highly evident in how much the local wildlife had diminished in the area as of late. Those women were not suited for John Jim thought to himself and he would definitely have to rectify that.

Jim was sat watching the television screen in front of him with a clear image of 221b Baker Street on it, Jim was hoping to catch a fleeting glance of a certain individual but instead all he caught was another of those dreadful women leaving. Jim quickly called his closest companion to his side

'oh Seb!' in a high chirpy tone

'yeah boss' a voice replied

'I have a job for you'

Jim's tone quickly changing to a more sinister one, Sebastian Moran his number one hitman could only wince; he knew that tone, this job was going to be a messy one. Turning from the screen Jim turned to look at Sebastian who was now standing by the window

'It has come to my attention that our dear friend has been attracting some undesirable attention, you know the one I mean'

'yeah boss' was his only reply

'well I would like you to rectify that, and make it very clear John Watson is mine, and thus out of bounds. You know what to do should they not understand' ' and Seb, don't let me down you know how grumpy I get!' with a dark grin.

Jim turned back to the screen in front of him and appeared to start stroking it affectionately Sebastian cowed, yes he understood very well from the last time he failed. Sebastian Moran understood very well what happens when you fail Jim Moriaty and after the last experience he vowed to make sure he would never fail again and if he did, he would blow his brains out first. Leaving Jim to his thoughts Sebastian Moran stepped away from the window and left quickly to complete his task and he would not return until he could honestly say John Watson would never be touched by any other person unless his boss allowed it.

After Sebastian had left Jim had turned his attention back to the CCTV footage Jim watched John leave Baker street in that grotesque thing called a jumper (That will be the first thing to go) he thought and smiled as he swept his hand over the figure on the screen

'soon John, very soon'.
