This is my first fanfiction for my most favourite series ever. I hope it turned out good.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own BBC's Sherlock. If I did, it would have been Johnlock since episode 1 (obviously I ship johnlock :DD ) I do however own the cover image. My sister did a fan art for this story.

"All students are requested to leave the school grounds immediately!"

That was it. Those were the words that changed my life completely. When I heard them, how could I know what would follow. How could we know what would follow.

It had started out as a normal day at school. It was actually one of the last days of school before the summer holidays. Me and my best friends, Christine, Lily, Phillip and Steven were hanging out together, talking about our plans for the summer. My parents and I were planing a trip to Austria which was going to be really cool. Christine and her brother were going to travel alone to Ireland. We were so jealous of her. Lily and Phillip were actually going to go together on holidays because their parents were best friends, but Steven was going to stay in London because his brother was coming home from university. He was studying to become a lawyer in Italy.

Steven's brother was as old as my sister Emma. My lost sister. It's been five years since she disappeared. She was fifteen. She had gone to school one day, and then never came home. The police searched for her but never found her or her body. They gave up searching three years ago. I'll never forget the look on my parents' face when they told us that we'd possibly never see her again.

Christine clicked her fingers in front of my face. "Earth to Daphne. Do you copy?" she said. Steven laughed slightly and I had to laugh along with him. I was always in my own little world. I was a fourteen-year-old who spent half her life in her world. "So, how is your brother?" I asked Steven.

"Tired! The university studies are driving him crazy!" he answered.

"I can imagine." Phillip said.

Lily and I giggled. For some reason, we had a bad sense of humor and found Phillip's stupid jokes hilarious. There were times when he would say the dumbest things ever and we would burst out laughing. It was one of my trademarks. That, and the fact I only ever wore knee length skirts and socks that reached a bit under my knees.

No one knows how it happened, but all of a sudden, my wardrobe was full of these skirts and socks. Honestly, even I don't know how that happened. I have skirts with every design possible on them. Apart from that, I had shirts in every single colour. Today, I was wearing a black skirt with white dots, white socks and a blue T-shirt.

Christine and Lily once bought me a pair of jeans each for my birthday to tease me. Those two pairs of jeans are still hanging in my wardrobe and I bet they still have the tags from the shop on them as well. Mum said we should give them away if I'll never wear them, she's a big fan of charity giving, but I wanted to keep them because they were from my friends. Christine and Lily still joke about them.

Phillip finds my look cute, and not because it's knee length skirts, but because it's not like everyone else's. Phillip was my ex-boyfriend and we were all totally okay with that. We were already friends when we started going out last year, but in the end we realised we liked each other only as friends so we remained friends, which is good because he's a nice guy.

"What do you guys want to do before the next class?" Steven said.

"What is the next class?" Lily asked.

"Chemistry." Steven answered.

Lily groaned while Steven and Christine high fived, they loved chemistry. Lily hated it.

"Do you wanna go irritate Vanessa?" Phillip asked. I smirked. I hated Vanessa Pine. Vanessa Pine was the most popular girl in school and the most irritating one. She thought she was really pretty and stuff, but I thought she looked like a gorilla. She had an older brother in year twelve so everyone from every grade knew her. She once tried asking Phillip out. I never learnt the complete details, but I knew it was the biggest mistake she ever made.

Right now, she was talking to her huge group of friends. That meant she sat on a bench while her friends sat around her and admired her new manicure. I wanted nothing more that to go and punch her face.

The five of us stared at her, considering Phillip's idea. At some point we just exchanged a look and I said "I think it's actually a good idea!" So we left the wall we were leaning against and headed towards her.

"Hey, Vanessa." Steven called when we were a metre away from her. She stopped talking and turned her head towards us.

"Ugh," she said "What do you want?"

"We just thought we'd say hi." Steven answered.

"Hi!" we all said in unison.

"Oh, just go find some other clowns like you to hang out with." Vanessa said trying to offend us.

"Only after you go find the gorilla pack you escaped from." I said, pleased of myself. All these years and that girl still hadn't learnt that she couldn't offend us.

"Oh, go and get lost with your sister!"

Scratch that, that did offend me. I lunged forward to punch her evil face but Phillip and Christine held me back. I didn't care what Vanessa said about me, but I wouldn't let her talk about my sister.

"Sod off, Pines!" Steven yelled at her as we left, Phillip and Christine still refraining me from hitting her.

"Are you okay?" Christine asked me once we back at our wall.

"Yeah." I said and relaxed.

"Maybe irritating Vanessa wasn't a great idea." Phillip said.

"I guess not." I agreed.

"I can't believe she actually brought up the Emma thing!" Steven said.

I sighed and leaned against the wall, folding my arms behind my back and closing my eyes. "It's okay," I said "I just got a bit angry."

"And for good reason," he said "It was just mean of her."

"She's mean anyway."

"Whatever, it wasn't right."

"I'm sorry if this made you think of her again." Lily said.

I opened my eyes. "Lily, not a day goes by that I don't think about her." I said and felt tears brimming in my eyes. Lily, the emotional one of the group, scooped me into a hug and I bit back my tears.

That's when it happened.

"Wow, look at that!" Phillip said. Lily released me from the hug. Phillip was pointing at the sky. A big red helicopter was gliding over the school, almost as if it was going to land.

"All students are requested to leave the school grounds immediately!" the principle's voice echoed through the school's megaphones.

Some younger kids started to panic. Some students started heading back tot he school building to get their things. I exchanged a look with the others. We all had our backpacks with us so there wasn't anything we had to take with us. "Let's go." I said.

"Wait," Christine said "I lost my earring. I think it might have fallen off in the bathroom. Will you come with me to look for it?"

We nodded. Christine was obsessed with earrings. We put on our backpacks and headed towards the girls' bathroom. We weren't all going to go in, of course, we'll just wait outside. We passed by Vanessa who was wailing that her makeup bag was in her backpack which was in class.

Christine took a while in the bathroom. She was finally back outside with her earring and we turned to leave the school. To my surprise, the whole school was empty. How long had we been to the bathroom for? We stood looking around. There was definitely no one there apart from us. We started walking towards the front gate. I could see the red helicopter not too far away from the school.

"What are you still doing here?"

We turned around, it was the principle. He looked worried and he was coming towards us.

"We... we were..." Christine stammered.

"I can't hear it right now," the principle said "Just go and hide somewhere, maybe the bathroom. And don't move until I come to get you!"

With that he left, going back to the building, probably to check if there was no one else here. The gate wasn't that far from us, we could just run, but I didn't want to do something I would regret later.

Suddenly, a black car stopped in front of the school. The window on the driver's side slid down. A girl of around twenty was driving it. "Get in!" She called out to us. The girl might not have the purple and turquoise streaks in her hair that she used to have and she was way older, but I knew it was Emma.

Please leave me a review and let me know what you think of my story so far. It will really encourage me.
