The Power of Deduction: A Sherlock's Daughter Story

Chapter 13

The next day was when it happened.

Sherlock opened the door to wake up Charlotte for another busy day in London when he saw her.

She was sleeping soundly with blood surrounding her bed.

"CHARLOTTE," he yelled, shaking her sleeping form.

"Ugh what now," she asked until she saw the blood.

"OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL?!"

She then saw more blood leaving her legs.

"WHO IN THE HELL STABBED ME WHILE I WAS ASLEEP?!"

"JAWN, CHARLOTTE GOT STABBED THERE IS BLOOD ALL OVER HER BED I NEED YOUR HELP."

"Does she have stomach pains," he asked calmly but annoyed that he was woken up from his deep sleep.

"OF COURSE SHE'S IN PAIN JAWN SHE GOT STABBED."

"I'm passing it to Mary," he sighed.

"What is it Sherlock," she sighed.

"CHARLOTTE GOT STABBED!"

"What?!"

"I NEED YOUR HELP."

"Sherlock she's on her period."

"Her what?!"

"Her period. It's normal for teenage girls to go through this at least once a month," she sighed.

"Where they GET STABBED?!"

"No Sher, it's a sign that she's not pregnant. I'll come over," she sighed.

***********

"How did you not know?!"

"Must have deleted it," he sighed seeing Mary get new sheets.

"Well she'll be in a bad mood for the rest of the day so I suggest you be, well-"

"Not myself?"

"Exactly," she joked.

Then Charlotte came in the room with a big frown on her face.

"Oh hi Char how are you?"

"Terrible," she sighed opening the fridge, "do we have ice cream?"

"No," Sherlock replied carefully.

"What about chocolate?"

"Nope."

"Ughhhh please tell me you at least have a case?! Oh wait I can't go because you're afraid I'll get high on the fresh air or something," she snapped.

"What," Mary asked confused.

Sherlock then explained what happened yesterday.

"He's trying his best Char," she sighed.

"I know," she sniffed quickly, "I'm a jerk aren't I?!"

"No no no-"

"I am. I'm sorry. I know I'm not a good person," she said looking at the ground.

"Let's just go to the case," he said getting annoyed with the mood swings.

"Really?! I can go?!"

"Yes."

"Yay! Bye Mary!"

"Well she got happy pretty fast."
