DE JA VU Chapter 3
Sherlock's p.o.v
"John" I shouted loudly across the room, just seconds before I woke up in my armchair whilst in a panicking rage. John was standing just beside me trying to calm me down as he also tried to reassure me saying "Sherlock what is it? What happened? It was just a dream, you're ok". I looked up at him in relief that I wasn't in that dream anymore and neither was he: all I wanted was for him to be safe. So with just that alone to me it was a nightmare, I continued to look at John in his eyes and said "it was horrible John, something happened to you. I don't even remember what happened to you or any of it… all I know is that you got hurt and I shouted your name hoping that everything would be alright, it felt so real John". He looked deep into my eyes whilst I saw further into his, further than you would believe and all I saw was worry, love and confusion.
Sherlock's p.o.v
He closed his eyes for a moment just before he knelt down, looked at me then held my hand and said "Sherlock, I've never seen you look so scared in the whole of the time that I have known you. And that is a long time: you've dealt with some of the worst, most terrifying cases known. Yet you still sit there now worrying about a dream you've just had. What I'm trying to say is forget about it, it didn't really happen, it's not going to happen. It's nothing but a silly dream now". At that moment I realized just how silly I sounded then the bell rang, Mrs Hudson answered it I could hear her saying "oh hello, it's nice to meet you do come in". John also went to see who it was, yet again letting his curiosity get the better of him. As soon as he went outside I could just about here him get a fright almost like whoever this person was he didn't want to see them. I stood up to await the mystery person: I could hear their footsteps crawling the stairs as they spoke to one another. When all of a sudden my eyes took focus on the door handle: I could hear it creaking as it turned very slowly then begun to open. First I saw a blue heeled shoe which obviously said straight away that it's a woman who's trying to impress. Then I saw her small, dry, bare hand being wrapped around the door. Dry: it has dry skin on it which means she doesn't regularly look after her hands. Bare: it doesn't have a ring on it which then either means single or in a relationship but not married. So then I would also say that this woman is John's girlfriend.

Then I saw her face, which instantly sent shivers down my spine and made me go cold inside. My jaw dropped ever so slightly: somehow I felt as though I had seen her before. But I didn't know where? And why? I know it wasn't for a good reason anyway, I was sure of it: something inside of me was telling me not to trust her. She's no good. As I had figured out who she was my eyes instantly locked onto John's, who had literally just a second ago decided to take a really awkward cough. The type of cough that said say something or at least do something, either way don't just stand there. He looked, scared I think it might have been because he didn't know what I was going to say. As I couldn't think of anything to say I just sort of identified her "Mary… do I know you?" I said with a nervous smirk on my face and a slight laugh in my voice. John stared at me in confusion whilst Mary replied to me with a giggle "No… I don't think so and where you expecting me?" to which John said "no we weren't expecting you? So I don't know how Sherlock even knew it was you". While he still looked confused. I then looked over at him while I gave him the, what are you going on about? Look and said "actually, to answer your question Mary. No I wasn't expecting you I just put two and two together and worked out that you weren't married. So you were either in a relationship but not married or you were single. I then chose to believe that you were in a relationship with John. Who I do hope understands the situation a bit more now?" John stared at me while I stood there with my hands behind my back awaiting a response and soon after Mary responded very understandingly. "Oh of course no ring, you were taking a very wild guess there though weren't you, I could have been a friend". To which I responded "well yes, but the heels you're wearing, look very expensive just for a friend. To me it looks like your trying to impress someone", John then turned to her and said "yeah well you look stunning however you dress and don't worry about him. He does this to everyone he sees, yet at the same time he is amazing, kind, honest and sweet. No one can see that side though. They just see the odd side and call him a freak".
Sherlock's p.o.v
She looked at him in a confused way like she was suspicious so I walked over to her while I scratched my head, then took a glance at my hand as I pulled it out to shake hers. All before I then looked up at her and gave her a stern look as I said "Sherlock… the names Sherlock, a consulting detective. Probably the best there is so when the police can't solve a crime because their idiots they come to me and I will solve it. Anyway it's nice meeting you Mary…" I said in a dragged out way as I waited for a reply. She then replied quite quickly as she knew what I wanted to know "Morstan and I don't think that you're a freak, I think that you seem nice" then tightly shook my hand. As I went to leave she let go of my hand just before I said "well that's nice, thanks and I'll see you later John, I've got to go out now to see someone". I then turned my back to leave and as I did I added on "I hope you two have a good time then", then turned my head and gave John a sly smile. Just before I changed direction to get to the table where the laptop layed, then picked it up and headed for the door. When I got to the door John said "where are you going with that?" to which I said "I'm going to see someone while I do research: if this is all I've got to do, figuring out who people are, by the way people look when they walk through the door. I might go mad" John looked at me in a confused way then said "what are you researching?" almost like he was trying to waste my time so I didn't want to waste anymore and said "I'll tell you later" then left.
