Chapter 10

Sorry this is kind of a filler

Hallie's P.O.V

"Hallie-?" John tried to grab me in a back hug but I smacked his arms away and darted for the stairs needing to be alone for awhile....

I had made it into my room and into the bathroom connected to my room and I closed and locked the door I stood in front of my mirror looking down at the cool sharp metal in my hand, I had done this before I knew it could help. I looked at myself and back down at the blade before I took it to my right wrist and forearm. I made 16 gashes across my right arm not deep enough to bleed a lot but enough to feel 'human.' I grabbed the peroxide and leaned over the bathtub to clean them when there was a knock at the door. I froze as the lock jiggled "Hallie?" John questioned "Y-yeah..." I trailed off trying not to cry from the burning "Can we talk? Sherlock's gone out and we have court tomorrow." "Y-Yeah meet me downstairs I said finishing up and putting the peroxide and bandages away. "OK...." He trailed off sounding suspicious. I think he might be on to me. I came out of the bathroom and took off my blue shirt and slipped on a long sleeve red jumper to hide my arm then I made my way downstairs to talk to John. I took a seat in Sherlock's chair and then John came and sat in his. "Hallie I am so sorry we never told you that you were an 'experiment' but that was because it was not important I see you as my daughter. I know you don't want to believe me or Sherlock right now but I can understand that. And you know you can talk to me about anything that is bothering you." He said the last part sounding more like a doctor and I was starting to get worried. I felt like a deer in the headlights. "W-what are you getting at John..." I asked "Hallie," he sighed "give me your arm." He sounded calm. And it disgusted me because I was not his daughter right now I was a 'patient'. I knew there was no getting out of this so I just rolled up my sleeve and gave him my arm, obviously luck was not on my side because at that moment Sherlock burst through the door, "John I need to-" He stopped himself and analyzed the situation figuring it out before I even had time to pull my arm back and slip the sleeve down. "Hallie.." He was speechless.

(Sherlock's P.O.V)

I stood there in front of my daughter and John trying to figure out how to react to this situation my little girl has been cutting herself and I haven't been able to notice, aside from the occasional morning greeting before she goes to school I never see her she has the whole flat to herself upstairs, a small library and nice bedroom and a master bathroom nearly soundproof, how could I not tell that she was doing this to herself. "Hallie-..." I had no words I felt like the worst person in the world she stood up pulling down her sleeve and walking past me mumbling words that struck me deep into my heart "It is all your fault." and she walked up the stairs and locked the door to the whole upstairs and I walked into John's and my room closing the door. I sent a text to Moriarty telling him to leave Hallie out of this but he responded with 'I told you I would burn you- J.M.' I threw my phone on the bed and sat down on the floor, he could hurt me sure but when it came to John and our daughter that is where I draw the line I love my family. Hallie would never forgive me for this and I screwed it up.
