The Heart's Equation

by Bennets and Bonnets

Blake O'Harin's whole life has been a lie. Growing up on whatever her older brother, Ewan, could provide. But one day, her past comes up to them and shoots her brother in the head. Panicking, she runs to the worlds greatest detective, who lived in London. Sherlock Holmes. When Sherlock begins to fall for the young woman, will he be able to keep her out of harms way?

2. Chapter 2

After a long day cleaning up after two six year old boys, Blake was ready to settle into a nice, warm bath, and then watch Doctor Who.

She rustled through her purse to look for her keys when she heard shouts from inside. She paused, her heart speeding up till she was sure Ireland could hear it.

She stayed rooted to the spot until she heard three gunshots. "Ewan," she breathed before running, her survival instincts driving her away from the danger.

John looked at Sherlock, whom was standing on his head. "Do I even want to know?" He asked, shaking his head.

"It's an experiment, I want to see how long it takes for me to pass out when I hold my breath and stand on my head. With all the blood rushing to my brain with the lack of oxygen will either prove someone's alibi or tear it apart."

John scoffed, slightly amused. "I was right, I didn't want to know."

Before Sherlock could restart his experiment, a young woman with long brown hair and brown eyes ran into the living room.

Sherlock fell over; he could sense the urgency in this woman. "May I help you?" He asked, sounding bored.

"I think my brother has been murdered. And if I'm right, I'm next."
