1. Chapter 1

Hello. I am called the Imagineer. This is my first Sherlock fanfic. I have several fanfics posted such as: "The Phantom and the Fawn", "The Runaways", "The Fighting Survivor", "Experiment L." and "The Oddest of them All". So this is not my first actual fanfic. I own no one except for my OC. Please read and review and if I have messed up on anything just let me know. Agreed?

Prologue

At Eleven Warwick Street in London is the Catholic Church of Our Lady of Assumption and Saint Gregory and in that churchis a confessional, where a person can receive the sacrament of Reconciliation and be forgiven of their sins.

( ?'s POV)

"Bless me Father for I have sinned, I am sorry for all my sins, especially for-"

"Dear child I know where you are going with this, you tell me the same confessions every time you come hear, sometimes you have new minor sins as well but that is not the point. I don't think you are able to forgive yourself, God is always forgiving you and what you have done in the past; but you are unable to forgive yourself, why is that?" Father Richards asked me.

"Because Father I am actually proud of killing some of those men, I think they deserved it majority of the people I have killed were perverts, pedophiles, molesters, rapists, and murderers themselves, and I have always caught them in the act when I killed them; so I have saved people, sort of. The minority that I have killed I did not kill willing." I said solemnly.

"Well, you come to church and confession more so than any of the others, it seems as if it were a month ago that you received the sacrament of Confirmation." He remarked.

I laughed. "Father it was a month ago."

"I was honored when you asked Sister Lucia and I to be your godparents before the day you were baptized." He said

"That was months and months ago, but I remember it clearly. You two are the virtuous role models I need to help me excel in becoming a new person." I told him.

"But you need to go out into the world and meet other people, make friends; Sister Lucia and I will not be here forever we are old, our time may soon end, maybe not today or tomorrow but sometime in the near distant future." He told me.

"I know, I will be starting work tomorrow I will be a adviser for the Detective's department; working with a Detective Lestrade, Mr. Anderson, Ms. Donovan, and two other consultants by the name of Dr. John Watson and Mr. Sherlock Holmes." I said.

"Well I shouldn't be keeping you then, you will need your rest. How is your Latin study with Sister Lucia though?" he asked after he finished hearing my confession and absolved me of my sins, Sister Lucia has been teaching me Latin since the day we met a year and a half ago.

"It is coming along very nicely." I answered then stepped out of the confessional. Fr. Richards exited then hugged me.

"I will see you on Sunday my dear." He said.

"Yes, see you on Sunday." I replied then walked silently out of the church. I had to get to my new flat that I had just moved into this morning. 221c Baker Street.

Author's Note:

So how was that? The next chapter will hopefully have more information on this character, but I'm thinking about not giving you her real name till later when a she tells a certain someone but he has to gain her trust first.

Sincerely,

Imagineer
