The new adventure.
Tanith's p.o.v
The stretcher trundled up the whitewashed corridor. I was running with Ghastly to keep up. We had only just got the news from Skulduggery a few minutes ago, but luckily, we had been in the building getting my results from the Remnant separation.
So, we were following the stretcher to the surgery room. I could faintly here the odd beep from the heart monitor and one doctor say
"Hurry! We're losing her!"
I let a sob escape my throat. No this can't be the end- she was so young, so innocent.
Suddenly, the stretcher veered off to the left and disappeared behind some double doors. The surgery light above the door flashed red and we stopped in our tracks.
"So," a voice from behind us whispered, "This is what we do now- sit down and wait till they tell us what's going to happen."
I knew if skulduggery had his façade up he would nearly be in tears.
"She'll be fine skulduggery, she's strong, she won't leave us will she?" Ghastly replied firmly but I could see there was a hint of doubt in his voice.
I needed to know something," Skulduggery- what happened?" my voice was barely louder than a whisper but this was important.
Skulduggery cocked his skull towards a plastic table with four chairs and we sat down.
"So, we were sent on a mission to capture Scapegrace, well, his head and the idiot Thrasher as Nye wanted something with them," I noticed how Skulduggery spat out the doctor's name, "So we went to this reported sighting but there was no one there. We heard something then this wall appeared between us- I couldn't blast through or fly over but there were these screams coming from the other side. After about five minutes the wall vanished again and Valkyrie was lying on the floor. She was hardly breathing, and, and… "
Skulduggery broke down- I couldn't blame him, Val was one of the most important things in his life but if the damage was too bad, that thing would be lost.
The hours rolled by, no-one spoke, no-one moved and still, no-one came out of surgery.
Leggo lover 99: dun- dun- dun... Will she make it?
