The dragon slayer of 221B baker street.
PROLOGUE.
"Hello there little girl, tell me what is your name?" He asked. His eyes were dark and glossy, like deep pools of ink.
"Ember rose, what about you, what's your name mister?" I asked, curious about the strangers name. I know my parents told me not to talk to strangers but i couldn't help it, i liked causing trouble, but isn't that what usual ten year olds do. Cause trouble that is.
"Well, if you like you can call me jim. Jim Moriarty" he said, jim said. He smiled at me a wide smile that made his eyes wrinkle. Something told me that jim isn't a good guy but he was nice to me. I don't know why though. He just came up to me while i was having lunch by my school's yard. Nobody liked me here at school, all my class mates hate me because my daddy is rich. They kept on calling me spoiled.
"Moriarty, thats a weird name" i said frowning, it felt strange on my tongue like some foreign language.
"Yes it is, though i do like your name. Did you know ember means dying light, it suites you though. It sounds just like a princess' name, fit for a fairytale, much like your life" he grinned like a cheshire cat, but the shine in his eyes scared me.
"Thats what my daddy calls me, he calls me princess. He also told me not to talk to strangers" i said looking down at my half eaten sandwich. Jim laughed heartily and i looked up at him puzzled.
"Yes, but you know my name and i know yours, doesn't that makes us friends little ember?" He said and i nodded, slightly puzzled at first by his confusing words, i am after all only ten, theres only so much that i could understand.
"I guess you're right jim" i said and smiled a shy smile. He was my first actual friend. "Of course I'm right, i always am" he said. The bell finally rang and i quickly stuffed my unfinished lunch in my bag and turned to face my new friend but he was gone. I sighed. Maybe i just made him up out of loneliness and boredom, the lack of friends must be getting to my head. But still i could've sworn he was real. I mean he had to be. I sighed.
"Well, good bye jim" i said to no one as i went back inside the school building.
