"Enola's missing?" Sherlock asked, Mycroft nodding as his younger brother bit his lip and looked down. Sherlock balled his fists, Mycroft telling him "She must still be in London, as she had nowhere else to stay.". Sherlock nodded, trying to calm down as he laid his back against the wall and crossed his arms against his chest. "Where else could she have gone?" Sherlock thought, trying to find a lead. Than......it hit him.
He remembered the incident with Milverton, and how William was there as well. Milverton said that he brought them there for one thing, both of whom they were after. Milverton's message that he left in the apartment had said that Enola was with him, meaning that William was also after her. But for what reason? Well, Sherlock remembered that when William saw Enola, he called her sunflower, as if it was an affectionate nickname for her. Sherlock soon put two and two together, his last memory being that the case he solved on the train with William and his daughter....and how he called her sunflower.
"Dear god!" Sherlock yelled, his eyes widening and holding his head in pain. Mycroft looked at Sherlock, asking him "What happened?". Sherlock didn't bother to look back at Mycroft, the realization of who Enola really was hitting him way too hard. "Enola....Enola is Y/N Moriarty!" Sherlock whispered, Mycroft going into shock when he heard that name. "Y/N Moriarty.....didn't she go missing?" Mycroft asked, Sherlock shaking his head and telling him "She lost her memory....and I took her in.....". Sherlock ran past Mycroft, Mycroft calling out to him 'Where are you going?".
"To find Y/N!" Sherlock said back, his heart rate going faster than it should have, "Don't you know what's going on with her father?". Mycroft went silent, remembering that William had just revealed himself as the lord of crime and was brutally killing aristocrats at random. If Y/N was looking for him, than she was putting herself in danger.
"You better save her...." Mycroft muttered, a shadow covering his face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"My poor angel...." William whispered, softly touching the eyepatch that Y/N had as he carried her in his arms. Y/N blushed in embarrassment, thinking that her father now thought she was ugly now. William noticed this, chuckling and giving Y/N a kiss to comfort her. "You're still my sunflower..." William muttered, Y/N giggling and laying her head on his chest while he smiled at her. Y/N than yawned, William smiling at her and saying "Go to sleep....it's been a long day for you." Y/N nodded, closing her eyes and slowly falling asleep.
William than sighed, reaching his destination. He opened the door, going up the stairs and entering the apartment where he saw Sherlock. William chuckled, asking Sherlock "You were waiting for me....weren't you?". Sherlock nodded, his eyes going to the sleeping Y/N while he said "What are you planning on doing now?". William sadly smiled, looking down at Y/N himself and said "Will probably end my life....". Sherlock gasped, going over to William and saying "You can't!"
"And why?......" ".....because Y/N." William widen his eyes, seeing that Sherlock was holding back tears. "She needs a father you know...' Sherlock muttered, William only chuckling and handing Y/N to him. "That's where you come in...." William said, Sherlock taking Y/N and realizing what William was trying to do. "You already took care of my daughter....and it's best for you to continue doing so when I'm gone." William whispered, kissing Y/N on her forehead one last time before saying "I love you." to her. "I'll see you....in another life." William muttered to her, walking out of the apartment.
Sherlock stayed quiet, laying Y/N on the couch and watching her as she slept peacefully. "No worries...." Sherlock whispered to Y/N, grabbing ahold of her hand and squeezing it tightly.
"we're going to get him back...."
~~~~~~~~~~~
When Y/N woke up, she saw that Sherlock was looking at her. "Sherly?" Y//N asked, Sherlock nodding as she got off the couch. "Where's papa?" "We're going to get him..." Sherlock grabbed Y/N's hand, running out of the apartment and out of the building. "Wait, what do you mean?" Y/N asked again, Sherlock looking back at her and saying "He did many bad things....and he believes that he can't live anymore because of that.". Sherlock than bit his lip, remembering to what William said about him having to be her new father.
"But he needs to live on...for you." Sherlock muttered, Y/N gasping when she realized what was happening. Sherlock and Y/N soon reached the tower bridge, Sherlock and Y/N going up it to where William was standing at. Once they got there, Sherlock stood in front of Y/N and called out William's name. William looked over at Sherlock, Sherlock asking him "Are you just going to leave her alone?". Y/N peaked from behind Sherlock, William's eyes widening as he saw her. "Why......Why did you bring her?" William asked, Y/N feeling tears go down her face as she left Sherlock's side and ran over to William.
"Don't leave papa!" Y/N cried out, William tensing up when she hugged his legs. "I.....I don't want to live in a world without you!" As Y/N sobbed and held onto William tightly, William ad tears of his own falling down. "Oh.....My Sunflower." William said, kneeling down and sadly smiling at Y/N, "You're such a good girl.". William embraced Y/N, the two hugging each other tightly while Sherlock went over to them and smiled at the sweet sight. Just than, William pulled Sherlock into the hug, Sherlock at first freezing up but eventually joining in.
"William.....live for her." Sherlock said, William looking at him while Y/N cuddled into his chest. "Live for all of us......" When Sherlock said that, William smiled at him and nodded, Sherlock smiling back at him and making the hug tighter. However, a snap was heard from the bridge, William, Sherlock, and Y/N realizing that the wire holding the bridge had broken. "Shit..." Sherlock muttered, him and William standing up with Y/N in the latter's arms. "Wait....what's happening?" Y/N asked, William cooing her and telling her that everything was alright. As Y/N hid her face in William's chest, William and Sherlock ran over to the edge of the bridge and looked down at the cold water beneath them.
The only option they had right now was to jump.....
William and Sherlock both looked at Y/N, Y/N looking back at them with fearful tear filled eyes. "We love you..." they said together, Y/N saying "I love you guys more" back at them. Sherlock and William sadly smiled, taking each other's hand and jumping off the bridge and into the icy cold water.
Before he fell into the water, William held Y/N close to him and whispered to her
"......Everything will be just fine."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been about three months.....and William's, Sherlock's, and Y/N's bodies were never found.
The search still continued, with Lestrade taking the lead in it. So far, the only thing that was found was the sunflower ring Y/N had, which was given back to the Moriarty's shortly after. Albert put the ring in a secret box that only he and Louis could find, the ring being too precious to them and was one of the only things helping keep William's and Y/N's sprits with them.
The others have moved on, now living separate lives away from the Moriarty's. But, the memories of the Moriarty's, especially those of William's and Y/N's, were still engraved in their minds. As for Watson, he and Mary eventually got wed, and he published a book about his times with Sherlock under the name of "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle". He honored William's wishes, and made him out in the book as one of the most despicable villains Sherlock has ever faced. He also made sure t include Y/N in the book, but under the name of Enola, rather than her real name.
While things did go back to normal, it still felt like so much has changed after the three's disappearance. Albert was in the study when Louis came into the room with a letter in his hand. "Someone sent us this..." Louis said, Albert looking up and asking him who it was from. "It doesn't say...." Louis said, handing the letter to his older brother. Albert sighed, taking the letter and opening it. Once he began to read it......his eyes started to be filled with tears. "What is it?" Louis asked, Albert smiling at him with tears of joy going down his face
"They're alive......"
