Chapter 4
Several hours later, Anna was ready to have a fit. Mrs. Hudson had decided that Anna needed some 'appropriate' clothing. Namely, a dress.
"I can't believe I have to wear this thing!" Anna muttered mutinously. "I don't care if it's what's the norm for the time. I hate wearing dresses!"
Watson was chuckling under his breath, quite aware that Anna would lash out with her cane with any provocation. Even Holmes couldn't resist having a sly snigger.
"This isn't funny," Anna yelled. "Why the HELL do I have to wear this? It's not like we're going anywhere..."
"Uh, well that's not exactly true," Watson began. "We're going to meet Holmes's brother, Mycroft. He'll probably know best what to do with you."
"That's... very... not... cool..." Anna said slowly, trying to stay calm. Then she snapped, and hit Watson over the head with her cane.
"Eep, I'm sorry!" Anna exclaimed.
"Oh, so you apologize to him, but not to me. If it weren't for me, YOU'D be on the streets."
"Yeah, well, you deserved it." Anna said blithely, "so, when we gonna leave?"
"Such a bizarre child," Holmes said
"I'm not a child, I'm 15." Anna retorted
"For all legal matters, you're a child, so just be silent and listen to the plan." Holmes said sharply. "We're going to visit my brother Mycroft because he'll probably know of some school we can ship you off to until this mess is figured out. If anyone stops us, we'll just pretend you're Watson's niece"
"Hmm, the great Sherlock Holmes doesn't know didly squat about schools in the area. How amusing." Anna said. Then realization of what the plan meant dawned on Watson.
"You mean I have to pretend WHAT!" Watson yelled.
"Jeez, you don't have to sound so upset about it." Anna said sourly.
A/N: Sorry this chapter is so short. I'm setting it up for a new plot twist I've been meditating. I hope you enjoy this, and a big thank you to everyone who's been reviewing!
