A plot bunny attacked me, and tied me to my computer until I wrote this.
I Own Nothing!
I walked up the steps to flat 221B on Baker St. I know what I am doing here. The forest fire had reached my house and my mums were gone, I didn't cry. It was a strange feeling, a hole had been blown into my chest and I couldn't. Nothing was left but my mother's ring. I am here now because Dr. John Watson is the only family I've got left. I knocked four times and the door opened.
"Hello dear. How can I help you?" said an old lady at the door.
"I'm here to see John Watson."
"Wait there a tick." it took a total of five minutes for her to return
"Follow me" she said finally. I walked behind her into a dim lit room and up thirteen steps into a messy room. There were papers everywhere, from news papers to book pages.
"Take a seat, give me your case and if I like it I'll take it." said a man. He had high cheek bones, and dark curly hair
"Who are you?" I asked
"I'm Sherlock Holmes, why would you come in here for a case if you didn't know who I am. Unless you haven't come here for a case and are looking for something else." I saw his eyes flitter around trying to assess me. 'Intelligence' I thought.
"I was sent here because Uncle John is the only family I have left."
"How is he the only one left?"
"I'll tell you when John gets here"
"John! Come here!" Sherlock called
"What is... Oh no. Why are you here?" he asked me
"Mum is gone"
"What do you mean gone!"
"Fire" I told him solemnly
"So what I gather is that Harriet and her family all burned to death in a wildfire leaving only you her adoptive daughter, judging by your lack of resemblance. Am I missing anything?"
"Could you be any more insensitive?"John asked
"Did I miss anything?" Holmes said again, more forcefully
"Yes" I said smugly, as if I didn't know who he was
"She is your doppelgänger" John sighed
"So she is good at deducing"
"Yes" I told them
"For example based on your posture you have a brother, but he is older than you. The confident stance you take is mixed with arrogance and was learned. The stink eye you're giving me just tells me you don't like him at all. You exercise moderately. Your head tilts left when you sleep, and you sleep on the right side of the bed."
"How would you know those last things?"
"Your bed is beside the door on the left side when you walk in so to rise quickly you would have to be close to the door. Also it's more convenient. Your hair is more messed up on the left than the right and you wouldn't have time to brush your hair yet especially since you are still in your jim-jams. Old jim-jams." I provided
"Interesting" Holmes had a giant grin plastered on his face
"I think we'll get along just fine"
"I think you will want to send me somewhere far away from you by the end of the week" I said with a smirk
"Anyway! Erin, where's your stuff?"
"Ash" I told him
"Which means you need to go shopping"
