Transformation

Chapter 7 ~ Stolen gem

Mycroft's POV
It's been two weeks since we first met and I can tell she's getting to close. I keep reminding myself that sentiment is a chemical defect found on the loosing side but then she creeps into my mind. I keep trying to busy myself by constantly visiting my sister in an attempt to find a distraction, but even she can tell something's wrong, and she doesn't even talk to me. We've been on a total of five dates and every time I step in the car to visit my sister I can smell [y/n]'s perfume. She's everywhere I turn, quite literally I can't get out of my office without seeing her.

I keep reminding myself this is for her, to protect her.
But then I can't help question; is this sentiment?
~~~
Glancing down at my watch I let out a huff. I stand up and refill my glass before taking my position my the fire, staring at the flames I can't help but be reminded of the way her hair shines like the tip of the flame or how her eyes sparkle like the embers of the logs.

Arghh I scream, throwing my glass at the wall in anger. Falling back into the chair i rest my head in my hand, what have I done.

I didn't save her, I lost her.
I gave her up.

It's all my fault.
~~~
"Just try and find her" I say in a spout of frustration, sliding the file across the table. "Went missing four days ago, never arrived to her location" I add.

John eyes me before picking up the file and flicks through, while Sherlock goes to reach for his violin. We have never been on good terms, meaning we try to stay away from each other but we know when something is wrong with the other.

"She's the best we've got. Everyone has been looking for her, but nothing. I know you don't deal with missing persons, but she is the stolen gem in the Crown Jewels. Find her brother" this seems to get his attention, he goes to ask a question but before he can speak I walk of the door. He mustn't know of any attachment.

My plan is to find her, but I fear she is gone.
She has vanished, though she may be safer now.

These are the only thoughts I have anymore, I just can't focus.

Every cloud has a silver lining; now I see why mother always said that. For now I will do what I did last night, go home and hope. I fear that is all I can do.
