She was there again, in that cold lab. Wearing the same white t shirt and pants. She was holding a spoon, dipping it in the green liquid in the bowl in front of her while listening to Father talking. He was walking in between their tables in his white lab coat. His hair were still grey and he spoke with a smile on his face, looking down at his daughters.

"My dear daughters, you know the danger in outside world, right? You know how the sun is dangerous." His voice was still dark and it sends shivers down her spine. "You know you shouldn't go out. I love you and I want to keep you safe."

"Yes, Father. We will stay here, Father." They all said out loud, with no hint of emotion in their voices.

She watched as Father walked to her slowly, his eyes fixed on her. "You!" he called out to her. "Why did you leave? You abandoned us." He approached her and wrapped his metal fingers round her neck. She looked at him with terror in her eyes. "You betrayed your father! You ungrateful child!" he squeezed her neck hard she let out a sob. The other daughters smacked their fists on the table, screaming "You betrayed us, you betrayed us."

Father was right, she betrayed them. She felt his fingers tightened themselves around her neck even more. She squirmed for air, her lungs itching for oxygen. Father stared in her eyes with anger. Father would always take his revenge.

"John, why don't you want to understand?" Sherlock hissed through gritted teeth. "I can't tell you!"

"And why not?" John was completely annoyed. They've been through a lot together and his idiot friend wouldn't spill his secret.

"It's for your own sake, John. It's a matter of safety."

"You must be joking? My entire life has never been safe after I met you."

Sherlock narrowed his eyes. "It's better-"

Diana screaming from the other room left their conversation incomplete. Both men shared a look before walking to the room.

Diana was on the floor, on her knees. A hand over clenching at her chest. Sherlock deducted her conditions in a second. By her state she had fallen from the bed. The tears on her cheek was the sign of a nightmare and the way she was grabbing at her chest, Sherlock's eyes widen in concern. He ran to her side and held her by shoulders and made her sit in an upright position.

"Anna, Anna breathe!" he shook her hard trying to make her snap out of it. It didn't work. Her face was turning blue. Sherlock slapped her cheeks twice. That brought her out of it, she gasped and inhaled air in soundly. "F-Father is here. H-he is c-coming." He held her trembling body to his trying to calm her down. It was no use. She kept repeating the same exact words and tried to get on her feet, thrusting her nails in Sherlock's back as if he was the Father. Sherlock held her tight and nodded at John who was holding a soporific ampule. John bent down next to them and injected the drug in her neck. She struggled for a few more seconds before lying motionless in Sherlock's arms. With John's help, Sherlock put her back on his bed and tucked her in. his long fingers traced cheeks, wiping away the tears she was crying a moment ago. Taking another glance at her sleeping face, he stormed out of the room and threw himself on his armchair, in frustration.

John walked out of the bedroom and closed the door. Sat on his armchair and watched Sherlock wordlessly. He knew by heart there was something wrong; something terrible. It's been almost three days since Diana been there and Sherlock was a hot mess all this time. He was constantly checking the windows and texting his brother. He accidently read one of their texts and it said something about danger and her protection.

Sherlock took a moment to collect himself before telling John everything.

"Almost 4 years ago, Mycroft men found an abandoned lab in the east side of Europe. It was almost out of use. In the basement of the lab they found a girl living there all alone. They wanted to save her and take her out of there but she killed them all. They managed to bring her into a lab here in London, unconscious." He explained. "They kept her in a room and took blood samples from her to test her well beings but apparently she wasn't just a girl. She was being raised in that lab. The evidence showed that whoever that ran the lab moved everything out and kind of left her behind."

He leaned back and took a deep breath. "That girl was Diana. My presence was asked to help them discover who she is and what they did to her in the lab. After a few month I got her to talk. She's been training as a murderer. She kills her prey fast and only with one attempt. Mycroft was quite fond of her abilities and found them useful. He promised her if she works for him he will save her from danger."

"And I assume that danger is the Father she was repeating over and over back in the room." John finally said, receiving a nod from Sherlock.

"This Father is like a mentor to them; the head of the lab. He was in charge of everything. Mycroft was able to keep her secret safe until in one of her mission someone recognizes her and The Father finds out about her. Now he's after her."

"And what does he want from her?"

The answer came out painfully out of Sherlock's dry mouth.

"To kill her."
