What if John being locked in the lab it was Sherlock instead?

Sight 1a/1

AN: So I've had this pinned for a while hoping that someone would fill it because it is such an amazing prompt. However, the must called out to me so I had to write up something! I hope it's what you were looking for anon! Also, written rather quickly, so please forgive any little mistakes.

Sherlock Holmes was frustrated. He was frustrated because every avenue he ventured down turned out to be wrong with this stupid, bloody case. He had originally thought that Henry was just delusional and making up this story. Then he thought that there wasn’t actually a hound.

Now, he had seen the Hound with his own eyes, but he couldn’t figure out how he saw it.
He had seen the Hound that night. It was huge, twice the size of any normal dog and ferocious looking. It had large, glowing red eyes. It looked half-demonic. Sherlock had seen it. He was sure of it

His eyes landed on a strange cupboard-type room in the corner. There was a strange reddish-orange light appearing to shine from inside it. Unless that was just the window pane. Either way, he decided to go and investigate it.

Keep Out Unless You Want A Cold.Sherlock shook his head and swiped his card. How ridiculous that a scientific facility of this scale would have a nearly empty lab and such an unprofessional sign. He walked in and immediately went to the other door within this strange cupboard

Sherlock heard something again. He spun, looking around, because he “had” heard it. He knew that he did. He tried to slow his own breathing as he looked around. He couldn’t see anything, but he thought something could definitely be in the lab with him now.

There was one more cage to uncover. Sherlock couldn’t explain why his legs were shaking as he took a few more steps toward the cage. He could hear a rustling around him, but he knew that it wasn’t real because there was nothing else in this lab. He had looked already.

He reached out and pulled down the sheet. The cage was empty, as he had expected, but there were a few bars that had been pried, or pushed, apart. It was enough to make a whole for a fairly large animal to sneak through. He didn’t think about how the Hound he had seen the night before would have been able to fit through it.

He frantically searched the area around him, but couldn’t see anything. He walked-he did not run-to the strange cupboard he had been in earlier. He swiped his card again, but nothing

“What is, Sherlock

Ooh, very nice! It does change everything, to have Sherlock locke din the lab instead of John, doesn't it? Wonderfully done, I could practically see the scene before my eyes, loved it :)

Re: Sight 1d/1

I don't normally re-do scenes that were already done because I don't like changing the story, but I really liked this idea and tried to make it work within the original story-line.

Thank you so much for reading and your lovely comment!

Eep. This was so so believable! Gosh. I felt my own heartbeat speed up and everything XD well done! I'm not usually a fan for stories that change the story line like this, though I'm not sure why - it's harmless. But this... I couldn't resist this!

(Mycroft says "ownthe all" ... I think he liked it too)

Thank you so much! To be honest, I'm normally really hesitant to change something within the plot--I'd much rather work on something "behind the scenes" so to speak. But this was such an amazing prompt and I really thought that it could have worked.

I'm glad you liked it!

[And I'm glad Mycroft liked it as well. :) ]
