Cameron's Pov
As weird as this must sound to you, the day I got hit by an animated skeleton detective's car was one of the best days of my life. Well to anyone with a normal upbringing that is. My upbringing was definitely not. My name is Cameron Black; age is old (though I don't look it).
And this is my story.

Bang! The remains of a door to the previously occupied room were flung open and halfway across the room. Dusk bared his teeth in a snarl, an ugly scar disfiguring his once handsome face.
"Find! Her!" he snarled as stumbling Hollow Men trickled into the room. He turned and sprinted out of the room followed slowly by the Hollow Men.
The escapee gulped and glanced down from her perch on the top of an office block. Frowning slightly, she wriggled her fingers and leapt off of the office block. A whoop tore itself from her throat as she fell. The air at the bottom of the building seemed to clump together and form a see-through cushion.
Cameron bounced off of the air cushion and landed on her feet, just as Dusk stormed out of the building. He injected the blood red contents of a syringe into his arm, and focused on the hysterically laughing girl. The hairs at the back of Cameron's neck prickled and she slowly turned around.
Large innocent looking brown eyes met hate filled red ones. A shriek split the air as well as a large ball of air. Cameron sprinted and shot over the large wall. She hit the ground, rolled and came up running. Without pause, she darted through the maze of back alleys and side streets.
She ran across another road, just as a black Bentley Continental roared down the road, straight into her. Slam! The black Bentley judded to halt. The driver got out of the car and walked over to the barely conscious Cameron, just as Dusk sprinted out of the alley.
Skulduggery Pleasant, the driver, straightened up and snapped his fingers conjuring a fireball to slam into the ground next to Dusk.
"Give me the girl, detective!" he hissed. Skulduggery's head tilted slightly. Dusk shrieked as another fireball hurtled towards him. He turned tail and ran back into the safety of the alleyway. Cameron moaned slightly, her whole body protesting at the treatment it had received. She glimpsed a flash of white between the glove and the coat sleeve before she passed out.
Skulduggery picked the unconscious girl up and gently buckled her into the passenger seat. He started the car and set off to the cinema where Doctor Kenspeckle Grouse lived. He would look after her and keep her safe until she woke up. Why did these things happen when Valkerie was away with Fletcher? On second thoughts that was better as he would be receiving a massive lecture from her about his perfectly acceptable driving skills. The speed limit was optional, anyway!

Someone's Pov
"Solomon! I found her! She may know where my brother is! Bye!"
"Wait! Who... Never mind. Just don't do anything stupid!"
A figure dressed all in black sprinted along the streets also heading towards the cinema.
"Don't do anything stupid, says him!" they mimicked, rolling their head slightly. They clapped their hands together and disappeared into the shadows.
