The Case of the Phantom (Sherlock x Reader)

Part 3: The Phantoms Bride

„After she was chosen for the Lead Role...I searched for her. She was in her usual spot. A room that more looked like an antic. She is always there to put her mind at ease. I was so happy that she finally can show her talent and I asked her who her teacher was. She answered with a smile ‚The Angel of Music. The Angel my Father sent to me'. It made me worried. She got so pale and shook in fear when we left. Please Monsieur Holmes there is something going on here." With no more words Sherlock left. Leaving Ereena in tears.

With his long legs Sherlock managed to reach (Y/N)s room in little time. He knocked not awaiting any answer he just stepped in. A scream made him look up and he may or may not blushed a little when he saw (Y/N) only in her underwear. „I'm sorry" he just said and got out as quick as he could. He didn't expected her to change at all. And he certainly didn't expected such a reaction from his body. He shook his head and cleared his head when he heard the door open again and (Y/N) ,now in a silk robe adorning her body, stood in front of him. She also had a red face totally embarrassed by the events. Sherlock looked at her. „I should have waited for an answer. I'm sorry" The only time Sherlock Holmes apologized for real.

(Y/N) smiled a shy smile. „It's okay. I still had my underwear on so don't worry." The Detective didn't want to imagine that, but he still did. „Something happened? Or why are you walked in my room without premission?" She than asked curious. Now Sherlock could concentrate on more important things.

„Right. I need to question you some things." The (Y/H/C) girl didn't seemed pleased about that. „I don't think this is a good Idea, really." she tried to close the door again but Sherlock was quick and put a foot between the door before it could close completely. „Listen Miss (Y/L) this important. If you don't answer my questions everyone in this Opera House, including you, could die." (Y/N) stopped to try to close the door with force and opened it a little again. She didn't look him in the eyes which made him kind of sad but he shook it of.

„You are scared I can see that, but why are you scared?" He started and put his food away from the door. „Please Monsieur Holmes you are a good Guy, so please for the love of God you have to leave now." with that she closed the door again leaving Sherlock standing alone in the cold halls.
He sighed a little not sure of what to do. But than John appeared. „There you are. I finally found out how it..." „Be quiet Watson." Sherlock whispered and led his friend away from (Y/N) door.

- with (Y/N) -

She leaned on the door quietly listening to the approaching of Monsieur Watson and Monsieur Holmes hushing him leading him away in the process. A silent tear fell down the (Y/S/C) cheek of the young lady. Than a voice echoed in the room. „Insolent boy, this slave of passion!"
Goosebumps appeared on her perfect skin and she turned around facing the body length mirror that no longer showed her reflection. She looked him in those blue eyes not saying a word. The man came out of the mirror and slowly walked to the Girl that slightly shook in fear.

He cupped her face, stroking her cheek and whipped away the tears in the process. „You did well when you send him away my Angel." he whispered in her ear. She couldn't dare speak a word. Not sure if she should be save with him or be scared of him. Still her eyes locked with his and she took his glove covered hand in hers. A smile adorned his face and he led her again to the mirror. Starting to sing in his marvellous low voice. „Come to me Angel of Music~"

- With Sherlock and John -

With the new found information Sherlock got from John, he made it clear to stop this so called ‚Phantom' before any other soul could be hurt. But when he again heard this strange mans voice, he heard in the night, he got panicked. He ran to (Y/N)s room and banged on it, calling her name over and over again. The door wouldn't budge a little and no one in the room would respond to him. He growled. John than appeared behind him out of breath. „You think he is in there?" he asked his friend and Sherlock shook his head. „Not any more." confused Watson looked up. „But the door is locked. Did they escape from the window?" Rolling his eyes at the sarcastic remarks of his friend he spoke „Of course not!" Than Nicoline and Rousseau appeared with shock in both of their eyes. „What in the name of God is going on?" Rousseau asked. John explained in a calm way what happened just a few seconds ago. Nicoline had her eyes on the floor. „This is not good at all Gentlemen." she then looked to the three men. „Please enlighten us Mrs. Valenza." Sherlock demanded in a strong voice.

The Woman gripped her hair in slight panic. „He ...You must know he ...he chose her. We can't do anything about it, even if we tried." Watson and Holmes looked at each other not quiet understanding what she meant. Rousseau than started „He demanded not only that (Y/N) to be the lead singer but also his bride." Johns eyes went wide and Sherlock stayed still the whole time not daring to say a word.
That should be an interesting case. More interesting as any other case that they had till this time.
