the morning came and I felt like I could sleep all day but I know I have to go and find 'her' again so I could ask her more questions. I sighed and got up from my warm slumber and stretched my arms wide as they can go, yawning at the same time. I stood up then went into the bathroom for a shower. I quickly took off my nightware and stood into the shower, knocking it on till the cold became warm. After ten minutes john came out of the bathroom and got dressed in his usual jeans and wolly jumper. He then walked down into the kitchen to make him some jam on toast and tea. I started to drink my tea once ive finished my toast.
"where can I find her?" I asked myself
"find who deary?" I jumped and quickly put my cup down so I don't manage to spill any on me. mrs Hudson stared at me.
"don't do that mrs Hudson, you nearly gave me a heart attack" I breathed in and out until my heart stopped pounding. Mrs Hudson walked around and grabbed the plate which has now the unfinished jam on toast on and goes into the kitchen
"sorry deary I didn't mean to"
"its fine, just scared me"
"okay well I was just coming to let you know that ill be at my sisters for a few days so I wont be here. Is that ok?"
"yeah that's fine"
"will you be okay?"
"yes mrs Hudson ill be fine" I smiled and she nods then walks back into her own flat. I sighed and stood up making my way towards the door, grabbing my coat and keys and made my way out. I closed the door and walked down the path making my way to the park.
'best place to start I suppose' I thought and looked around just incase I pass by her. I was now just in the park and I saw the forest that the girl was on about.
'so that's the forest, huh best check in there just incase' I make my way into the forest and before I knew It I was deep inside it, not seeing the girl throughout my travels I carry on hoping I see her.
"where can she be?"
"right behind you" I jumped and turned around to see her standing there with a smirk on her face. I put my hand on my heart and the other on a tree to get my breath back.
"don't do that!" I nearly shouted as she smirks even more
"why did I scare you, your getting a bit rusty, thought I might help you out" the girl says and shrugs at the last words. she then turns and starts to walk off in another direction, before I had even realised I shouted.
"HEY! Where you going?" she stops and turns half her body to me and smirks again and nods her head to say come on. She beings to walk again as I sighed and began to jog up to her to match her pace.
"you've got questions, more I suspect" the girls asks me and I nod.
"who are you? I mean whats your name, and why are you doing this?" I asked her, her face turns to me for a second and back onto the path we were heading
"me, im nobody, well I was a somebody but that's all changed now. I trust you john Watson, just like you trusted Sherlock the first time you ever met him. Im going to train you." She stops walking a turns to me, I followed her steps so I am looking at her.
"why? I don't need trained, I was in the army for goodness sake"
"that's why I need to train you. You have to know what to do and be like if you choose my offer, so off you go" she nods at her left and I look to see a massive patch of grass with trees circling it.
"I don't understand" I turn back to see that's shes gone, taking the advice I walk towards the patch of grass. I sit down by a huge tree and lean back against it waiting for whatevers next.
"nice place isn't it?" the girls asks as she sits down next to me
"yeah, how did you find it?"
"this is where you will be meeting him tomorrow, if you take up the offer that is" she askes as she turns to me, waiting for my answer.
"if I choose to go, what will it be like there? Who am I?" I start to ask
"it's the same as here but a bit more strange, it has towns and citys and mountains and people but in each town theres a different species"
"species?"
"yeah like hobbits, dwarves, elves that kind"
"so if I go I will be one of those?"
"elves are tall, dwarves are human sized and hobbits are small people but just off the heaight of dwarves"
"so ill be a hobbit then?"
"no you wont be just a hobbit, you will be the hobbit, the hobbit that went missing and never heard off again"
"what are you talking about?" I sit up and stare at her, she stares back and sighs.
"you have two lives, john Hamish Watson or Bilbo baggins. When you were a kid you used to run along and go on loads of adventures."
"so what happened?" I ask getting interested
"you went on one, your final adventure, you where grown up though then, you went to help save the dwaves kingdom from a dragon and help fight off the gobins and such on"
"right, your just making this up."
"you want the truth or don't you?" I sighed and nodded. I began to listen to the rest of the story no matter how stupid and crazy it sounds
"right sorry, go on"
"you fought and you helped saved the kingdom but you had one last fight on your way back home, some of the gobins came and if I didn't save you then you wouldn't be here right now. I took you back to a safe spot and healed you up but it wasn't enough so I gave you a deal. You could either die right there and then because you wont heal so you will die in days or change your life and become someone different. I gave you the details of them both and so you decided to become john Watson. Ive been keeping an eye on you so you kept the deal but as you changed you also forgot your past and therefore the deal." I nodded in understanding the whole deal.
"so why now?" I ask, she sighs and stands up, I stand up along side her and we begin to walk
"your deal was if you find love or depression then I have to come to see you"
"but I havnt found love or depression"
"Sherlock" she says staring at me as she stops, I looks away and turn back to her
"what about him?" I asked, she walks up to me
"you loved him and now you are depressed because he's gone" she stops speaking and begins to walk off, I gulped and sighed "so here I am"
"but you said you had to see me, not bring me back to the other life"
"true but because you are feeling both I was thinking why not take you back home, you will still have your memories here and if you ever want to come back here then just say" I nod in understanding
"and if I come what will happen I cant to leave"
"the time is different over there, if its an hour here is a day there, time is different but just say that your going on vacation which you kind of are"
"right" I nod and start to think things through
' I could go, there isn't thing here for me anymore, Sherlocks gone, I don't see greg hardly any more, work sucks, but what about mrs Hudson or harry, they'll be fine' that's when I knew ive made my decision
"ill come" I said to the girl, she smirks
"I knew you would, now lets get started" I nod
After hours of discussing everything that I would need to know and everything to do with my life there and what ill be like im back in the flat getting everything sorted. I told everyone that I was going on holiday with my sister harriet for a few weeks and would have no contact but ill send them a postcard if I can. After a day of getting everything sorted im sat in my chair looking over at sherlocks chair, my heart hurts just a little.
'soon, soon ill be away from all this pain' I check my phone and see that's its nearly ten so I decide that its time to sleep in my bed for the last time.
