Chapter 2

A chill wormed its way up John's spine as he heard the door click behind him and swallowed hard as he turned back to look at the woman in front of him. Silkth smiled pleasantly now that it was just the two of them all alone in the room.

"Alright, what do you want?" John struggled to get the words out, something about this woman ripped away almost all his soldier's courage.

"You." The word was flat and straightforward, Silkth chuckled as she saw John visibly stiffen, "Worry not, silly boy, not that way. A woman like me has no time for such trivial things like that." The doctor's body relaxed a tad.

"…That sounds familiar…."

"No, what I mean is that I need you to do something for me…" The Cheshire-grin was back and John gave her a suspicious look.

"Me? And just why would I do something for you after what you've done to Sherlock!"

"Because Sherlock told me you were a good person and don't like it when innocent things get hurt." She interlocked her fingers, "and anyways, I never wanted to experiment on Sherlock, it's what my employer wanted…" John's eye twitched at this.

"If you didn't want to do it then why did you? He's never done anything to you!" John growled out to her. She tossed her head back, a strange jingling could be heard, and laughed whole heartily at this.

"You want to know why, my dear little sheepdog?" She bent her neck down and unwound the scarf from her neck and unbuttoned the top button of her lavender dress shirt to reveal a tight leather choker with a small round bell attached around her neck. John gasped as he saw it, it was so tight it left bruising.

"Wha-..?"

"What is it?" She grinned evilly at him, "It's the newest thing in shock collar technology! A small thin cable leads out of it, piercing the skin in the back of the neck and intertwining with your vertebrae, sending a shocking jolt so painful you feel like you're gonna die! It makes sure I do what my 'employer' tells me too or I get shocked..." She laughed with a crazy hint to her tone yet John could see the truth in her eyes as he heard her words. A gasp caught in his throat and his stomach felt like it bottomed out.

"Oh god! I-I'm so s-" Silkth cut him off.

"You're what? Sorry? Don't be, I don't deserve your pity but I do need your help." She sighed and gave him a pleading look, "Please John….?"

"Oh fine! What is it? Just stop looking at me like that!" John quickly covered his eyes with his hand to get himself to stop looking at her.

"Great! Now here's what I need you to do, but don't tell the cops!"

~S~

John listened to her little job for him and felt rather shaken with her descriptions; he was just about to ask her something when Lestrade burst through the door.

"John!" The two quickly looked up at him.

"Lestrade, what's wrong?"

"It's Sherlock!" John blanched and swallowed hard.

"What's wrong? Is he ok?" The doctor's words strangled.

"He's awake and attacked the nurse taking his vitals before turning tail and cowering in a corner. We need you to come and try to calm him down." John quickly jumped to his feet and was about to run out the door but stopped when he heard long nails tapping against metal and Silkth call out in a singsong voice.

"It won't work, John…"He turned back to her.

"Why not…?"

"Because the drug is making him delusional and hallucinating, there's only one person who's a constant whether he's lucid or like this…"

"The Demon Queen…." Her grin made John's heart freeze over and feel like shattering, "Me."

"You…"

"Yup, the woman that commands the demons that haunt his daymares… I told you, you would need me…"

~S~

John couldn't believe that he was rushing though a hospital with a mad woman next to him, running to save his friend from himself. They got to Sherlock's private room and Lestrade pulled the door open to see nurses trying to get close to a clearly frightened Sherlock.

"Police, I need everyone out." Lestrade called out in a police yet frantic voice, he had no opposition from them as they rushed out. Silkth turned to her companions and grinned.

"Leave this to me…" She reached up with handcuffed hands and rang the bell on her choke, getting an immediate reaction from the broken consulting detective. His cloudy eyes turned towards them and he shivered, letting out a whimpered "no, please…!"

"Sheeerrrrrlock….!" Silkth called out in a singsong voice, she was REALLY starting to remind John of a female Moriarty, "Wheere arrre yooou…!" More whimpering and John growling.

"Stop it….! You're scaring him…!"

"I have to play the part or else he won't let me near…. Keep calm, doctor…" She started towards Sherlock slowly, letting her hills clack against the floor.

"Sherlock, I need to talk to you…."

"No, back you witch!" He cowered move into the corner as she came ever closer to him.

"Back, you and your demons!" He threw a glass cup he got from somewhere at them, it barely missed John's head and shattered as it hit the wall; showering the group in small shards. Silkth finally got to Sherlock and he covered his head in his hands in fear.

"No, please."

"Shhh…. I'm not hear to hurt you, Sherlock…."

"You lie."

"No, look at me." He hesitantly did as she said and she smiled gently as she started to hum then sing, "

Run tunny, rum tunny, run tai'ru,

Rum tunny, run tunny, rum tai'ru,

Rum sunny, run sonny, rum tai'ru,

Run sonny, run sonny, the gorging demon sees you."

John and Lestrade looked in horrified amazement as how the rather disturbing song completely subdued the younger man, his dialated eyes looking rather glassy as he stared completely calm at Silkth.

"Good boy!" She pulled a treat out of her pocket and fed it to him, patting his cheek as he ate it; he purred slightly in responce.

"Now Sherlock….." He looked up at her and frowned thinking he did something bad but she shook her head, "Don't worry, you're not in trouble." He smiled at this.

"I need you to do something for me," He nodded excitedly, "Look at that man right there." She pointed at John.

"That's John, you remember John, don't you? You always talked about him…" Sherlock looked at John and nodding happily as he just stared at him, making the older man feel oddly uncomfortable, "I have to go away for a bit but I want you to listen to ever thing he says ok." Silkth smiled and petted his head before standing up and turning towards John and Lestrade.

"He'll now do anything you ask… No matter how degrading….. Well, at least until the calm stops and he goes back to his drugged stated."

"Good god, woman! You've turned him into a dog!" John yelled at her, making Sherlock whimper in fright and wrap his arms around Silkth's leg for protection, "Oh Sherlock..! I'm sorry….!"

"You'd best keep quiet, doctor. You DON'T want to upset him, it could have terrible consequences for everyone…." She unwound herself from Sherlock and started for the door, dragging Lestrade with her, " I wish you the best of luck, come see me in jail if he gives you any more problems…." John was left gawking in the middle of the room with a terrified yet extremely subdued Sherlock crawling over to sit on the floor next to him.

"Oh god! She didn't turn you into a dog, she turned you into a cat!" John exclaimed quietly as Sherlock rubbed his head against John's leg and purred. This was just getting too weird!
