The game has begun. (Sherlock x reader)

Introduction

"Stupid human. Screaming... Or whatever you're doing won't help you now." I scoffed as I stared at woman who was trying to make a noise while I stuffed a cloth further into her mouth.

"Do you ever wonder how long it takes for one to find my work? It is disappointing really. I can't stand the idea of the people here being basic goldfish. Never mind... A basic goldfish would be wonderful to find in this fish bowl." I sighed before I started to work on the woman that sat on the chair before me. Her eyes wide as she begged for her life through the cloth. I couldn't understand her of course. Then again, she didn't need to know that.

Squish, crack, squish, crack... This went on for sometime until I noticed that the woman had stopped breathing. I checked her pulse and sighed before punching her throat. No noise was made asides from the cracking of my own knuckles. Then I frowned.

"Well my dear... It seems you are dead now. Shame really. You didn't get to see my final master piece. Then again you might of. If you didn't stick your nose in where it didn't belong. Silly girl. Didn't think I would notice my collections were gone." I sighed and reached behind her head. Then I took one of my knives and cut some of her hair off. I looked at it and tied it into a ponytail then shoved it into my pocket.

Timeskip

I stood before the door that had a gold coloured knocker. It wasn't straight so I straightened it before I knocked and took a step back. I was humming carefully as I heard a few soft footsteps approach the door then it opened. A older woman looked at me with a smile. I simply smiled back.

"Mrs. Hudson I assume? (Y/n), (Y/n) (L/n). I am here about 221C? If it isn't to much of a problem." I said and held my hand out before a tall man came down the stairs. I paused in my action to watch him leave, he seemed to be in his own world at the moment as he hailed a cab and went off to where ever one would want to go.

"Of course deary! Come with me, let me just grab my keys first." She said and I stepped into the mud room and looked around carefully before the woman came back and took me to 221C.

She unlocked the door and I stepped inside. I looked around. Dust hung in the air due to lack of use though I didn't mind. I smiled and looked around a bit more. Then I came back and looked at the Land Lady who had followed me around as I looked at everything.

"I love it. And so I want to take it." I stated. A grin on my face. Of course it was one hundred percent fake seeing as I just wanted to come by as nice. She smiled softly and we went through the details. By the end of it all I could move in as soon as I could move all of my stuff over. Which was soon because I had already packed and was ready to move at this point. All I needed was a truck to move everything in.

Time skip

A sigh left my lips as I looked around my flat plainly. It had come together rather nicely. It was messy and just the way I liked it.

On top of the fireplace sat a single clock, a couch across from the fireplace, two chairs by the window. A table on both sides of the couch. And a table beside each chair. Papers stacked on the tables with no room for much else. On the wall above the fire place was a painting. Something simple. The kitchen was bare and had little to nothing inside of it. It was even void of food. The bedroom was also like that. A bed a single (f/c) blanket and pillows. A mirror, dresser and nothing else.

I sat down on one of the chairs, staring at the wall as I went into my thoughts. Thinking of something to do. Something that would give me a distraction until my next kill. Then I heard people walking inside of the mudroom. Or a person. One set of footsteps one person. Mrs. Hudson has been home all day. Must be the two living upstairs.
