She ran through the forest, looking back, she couldn't see anything. All she knew was if that she fell, she'd be done for, the figure in black was after her and she didn't know why. All she knew was that she had to get back to Skulduggery; alive. She looked at her watch, 12:38, she was meant to be meeting them in 2 minutes and she had no idea where she was going. A black shadow moved between the trees, she whipped her head back in the direction she was running. She couldn't lose her concentrarion, she couldn't fall, she can't. Skulduggery and the rest of the gang were relying on her to get back. Her friend who had been with her for the past 6 years had taken the name Chasity Green, she wasn't exactly what you expected. There was more to her than met the eye.
She stumbled, no. If she failed now. the 200 years of training she'd had would go to waste. She saw something silver shimmer next to her and she rolled. She got back up and continued on, watching out for the figure in black. Looking to her left, she saw Chasity running parralell. She smiled as she saw Skulduggery's gleaming R-type Continental Bentley parked infront. She only had to run a few more meters and she'd be there. Skulduggery, Fletcher, Valkyrie and Tanith stepped out of the car as she approached.
'Where is he?' Valkyrie asked 'He was behind me and Chasity.' Octavia replied. That is the name she had been given, given by her mistress.
'Well, hurry up then, we're not safe when Semastian Michaelis is around.'
Chasity shrugged, 'we'd take him on...'
Octavia looked over her shoulder. 'Well, that might be happening now...'
Everyone turned to where Octavia was looking, and there, standing in black, head tilted and a smirk almost unnoticable on his face, was Sebastian Michaelis,
Fletcher was the first to move, he teleported behind Sebastian, an axe in his hand. He swung, but Sebastian was quicker. He turned and grabbed Fletchers arm,
and Octavia knew if someone didn't intercept, Fletcher would most certainly have to spend a lot of time in the hands of Dr. Nye. Chasity was the next one to react, she took out her daggers and ran at Sebastian, who released his hold on Fletcher, who teleported back next to Valkyrie and the others. Chasity swiped at Sebastiand neck, but he moved, which caused one of her daggers to catch his arm. She turned quickly and deflected a knife that was aiming for her throat. Sebastian raised and eyebrow and smiled before stabbing Chasity in the stomach, she fell back and collapsed onto the floor. Octavia snarled and unshethed her sword. She walked towards Sebastian, slowly and cautiously. He was a demon, she knew that much. His powers were beyond hers and he had the upperhand, she knew there was only one way to killa demon, but that wepon had recently been destroyed. She looked back at Chasity, lying with her eyes closed on the floor. She was always a stubborn girl, and it was for that reason Octavia had cliamed her soul. She turned back with a smile on her face. She looked at Sebastian and turned her head to the right, revealing a glowing symbol; a circle with a pattern and words inside. She looked back at him with a finger to her lips and purple eyes. Sebastian took one step back. 'You better leave. We don't want anyone to find out now, do we?' She commented Sebastian turned and looked over his shoulder 'this isn't over. My master will be avenged for what your friends have done,' He ran off, running through the woods. Octavia immediatley turned, walked up to and picked up Chasity, 'mistress?' Chasity remained unconcious. She looked up at the others, 'my apoligies, I must get chasity medical attention immeditley. I'll be in touch.' And with that, they was gone.
