Valkyrie leaned against the grimy wall of an alley way somewhere in Dublin. She took out her phone and looked at the time. Half past, he was late. Never trust a Necromancer, Skulduggery's voice echoed in her head.
She wasn't sure exactly what Wreath wanted to talk to her about or why he was so late, she didn't like sneaking out from Skulduggery or keeping secrets but Wreath had told her it was important. And Skulduggery would have insisted on him coming with her and she knew how he felt about her ring.
But there was only so long she could disappear. She sighed and decided to ring Wreath.
She listened to it ring twice and then heard his voice.
"Valkyrie?" he sounded puzzled "Are you OK?"
"Yeah, but, um. Where are you? Its half past."
There was a pause. "Valkyrie, I have no idea what you are talking about."
She frowned. "But you sent me a text to meet you here."
"I assure you I did no such thing. Valkyrie? Valkyrie?"
But Valkyrie wasn't listening because out of the shadows she saw a man walking towards her.
He wore a mask fashioned like a clown with a smile and a long metal chain in his hands. She cancelled the call and put her phone away. She could deal with this. Instantly two flames appeared in her hands and she hurled them into his path. He jumped out of their way and landed closer to Valkyrie. She swirled the shadows around at her sides and punched them at him. He scattered like a ghost as the shadows went through him and went crashing into the wall behind him.
He kept walking slowly towards her the face of his mask twisted into a grin, he dragged the chain along the floor next to him.
Valkyrie watched in amazement before jumping to her senses and pelted out into the maze of alleys.
She stopped for breath. She must have lost him by now. She heard the clink of a chain and looked round in horror and saw him standing there. That was it.
She pulled out her phone moving slowly, he tilted his head watching her with the smiling face. His clothes were dirty and in rags. His hair stuck out of the edges of the mask scruffy and dirty.
She pressed the first person on her speed dial.
"Hello babe. Where are you? I was hoping to see you tonight."
"Fletcher," she whispered, her eyes never moving from the man's.
"What's up?" He sounded worried.
Too right, she was.
"I need you something weird is going on. Can you come and get me? Please?" Only she never finished her sentence.
She got out "I need you" When a something hit her across her head. She cried out as she hit the floor.
When she opened her eyes she saw the man with the mask looking down at her silently.
She watched him pick up the phone she had dropped and he held it to her ear. "Val? Val? Where are you? Talk to me?" She heard Fletcher's voice shouting down the phone. "Valkyrie! Valk-"
His panicked voice was cut off as the man terminated the call. She looked at him. Stay awake, she willed herself, stay awake. She felt her eyes closing as her vision blurred. The last thing she felt was her ring being taken off and being dragged along the concrete.
