Only Way to Destroy Me
Title: Only Way to Destroy Me
Author: Alaylith
Rating: G
Characters: Holmes, Mycroft Holmes
Summary: Holmes' greatest fear is also his only hope. (July Prompt 17)
WordCount: 173
Prompt: July 17 ~~~ Dialogue fic - a story told entirely with dialogue.
Author's Note: I do not like dialogues... I do not like to write speeches in any form. My characters do not say "I am sad", but "they stand in the rain, looking up to the stormy sky and the rain drops stream over their cheeks as if they were crying". I like to write like that so much more. ^^
There are some people who can write fantastic and awesome dialogues, sadly I do not belong to them. .______.
So this is only a little installment, as I have no time to try something else (I will be gone the whole day) and it takes place after Dying Soul.

“It can not go on, Sherlock.“
“What do you mean?”
“Almost two weeks have gone by without any word. There is no reason to keep him alive this long.”
“He is alive.”
“You can not know that.”
“I do know that, Mycroft.”
“Why? How can you be sure?”
“Because they are after me. They want me. And to get me they need him.
They can only hurt me through him.”
“But that is no reason to keep him alive.”
“Yes, it is. I have to watch.”
“Sherlock?”
“There is only one way to destroy me, Mycroft. I have to watch him die. They have to kill him in front of my own eyes without me able to stop them.
That is why I will not stop looking for him. As long as I am searching for him, they are sure of his value and keep him alive.
I need to find him. And I will find him.”
“Very well, brother, if this is what you wish to believe.”
“It is my only hope.”
