Here it is! The first chapter to the sequel of Double Deduction! The Mastermind Chronicles. I am writing this story with a co-author: world-behind-my-wall . This "Story" will be a series of one shots. If you have any requests please feel free to PM me. There will be another story when season 3 of Sherlock comes out. This story is about Jim, Sherlock and Krista in America. The one shots will be crossovers( With American crime shows) and non crossovers.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sherlock or its characters or any other character in any other show. I do though own my OC Krista Gordon.
This is VERY short because it's only the introduction.. a prologue if you will.
This whole chapter was written by my co-author world-behind-my-wall. (And she also thought of the name of the story too.)
Lying in bed awake between a criminal mastermind and a consulting detective I wonder how everything ended up this way. Despite wishing it had all happened slightly differently, that john wasn't suffering the untimely death of his best friend, that we were back on Baker Street going on adventures. I don't regret any of it. A girl who had never had a relationship or been in love gets to have two of the remarkable men on earth. Unfortunately, it has all been accompanied with a sense of guilt and worry. I feel guilty because I can't bring myself to choose between them, like they most likely want me to. Frankly I'm not quite sure I want to have to give up one or the other. The worry is a different matter altogether. It stems from knowing that I can only keep them secluded in here for so long until they either try to kill each other or one tries to blow something up while the other shoots holes into my walls. That in a nutshell is why I'm wide awake at 3 a.m. Obsessing over things. Feeling a headache coming on I begin massaging my temples in a circular motion with my eyes closed.
"There's got to be something we can do. Sherlock will be itching for anything to appease his boredom. So will Jim for that matter. Perhaps if we had a case, it could bring them together while keeping them occupied, but what?" I softly whisper to myself, thinking out loud. The more I contemplate, the warmer my hands seem to become but I'm too deep in thought to be bothered. Suddenly I feel a jolt of some kind and somehow I feel as if in that second my magic is alive and acting on its own accord. A surprised gasp escapes my lips and my eyes shoot open to see my hands sparking brilliantly in the dark room. Just as quickly as it occurred, it went away but not without leaving something different. I look to my desk and there is the illuminated screen of my previously off laptop. Looking at my still sleeping men, I carefully crawl out of bed gingerly stepping off it and on to the floor. I cautiously turn back to make sure I didn't wake them just to have to suppress the fit of giggles that was threatening to escape. I never thought I'd see the day that two arch enemies would be cuddling together most likely thinking it was me after sensing the loss of my presence. I bite my lip looking between the laptop and the bed. Finally the temptation is too much and I quietly grab my phone off its charger and capture this memorable moment feeling evil in a really good way. Putting it down I make a mental note to think of the best way to use it against them. Getting down to business I realize there was an open article on the screen. Reading through it thoroughly I smile to myself. This may be exactly what we need.
What's everyone think of my co-author's writing? The only thing I did in this chapter was any grammar mistakes.
