Chapter One: Discovery.
This will be my first fanfiction :) I know it seems short, but trust me they will (hopefully) become longer than they seem now. Enjoy and comment. xxx
It has been three years since my parents death. I am now living a new, grown up life here in London. I never thought that it would result in this, me living on my own at 17 years of age, and having to fend for myself without support and guidance. No matter where I go I cannot escape the loneliness and despair that fills my heart. I am a nobody, a flaw in life, I Mara Athens the broken hearted young girl.
It was 9:45 a.m in Central London, the streets were filled with business people roaming the streets and young children hurrying to the tube in order to make it on time to school. The air was cool and moist due to the previous rain storm they had gotten only the night before.
Mara P.O.V
I smell rain, but it wasn't suppose to rain until this afternoon, I sigh and open my eyes, slowly but surely they fully open and glance around the room.
"Huh...I must have been tired..." I say to myself as I slowly emerge from the nest of blankets, and breathe out as if I was being freed from a hot dungeon, then my eyes wonder around the room once more, but clearly and see papers and books scattered along the floor.
"Today must be the day...Might as well get up a big day is ahead of me today" I sigh, but slowly, get out of bed. My nightgown sticks to my body as if its a life source, I stretch and moan. Today is the day that I meet with Mycroft Holmes, weird name if you ask me I have only talked to him over the phone he seems normal, but my gut tells me that I am in for the surprise of my life. He knows my whole life story and actually explained to me how his parents knew my parents small world London is,very corner you always come face to face with a unknown truth. I walk from my room to the very long tedious hallway, I walk by my window and casually glance down at the busy streets.
"Hm, they all seem so calm, I wonder if it's nice not having to worry about anything" I murmur to myself, I climb onto the couch and just stare out into day.
" Might as well get ready" I stand and stretch once more before going into the kitchen and collecting myself some coffee, I sip and just melt, it's not to hot but not too cold. Its perfect. I then turn back around and walk towards my bedroom, once I make it I go to my closet and go through my wardrobe to see what I should where.
"Well since I am meeting a government official I should dress appropriate" I laugh at the comment and choose a black silk dress, lace covering about half of it, but not in an orderly pattern, and a pair of tights along with my black heels. I sigh and think, 'today is going to be interesting day. With that I head to my bathroom and start the shower.
