Whats a night out with the Dead Men without a good old fashioned roof top chase
Valkyrie was staring in Erskines eyes. She was determined not to lose this, again.
Saracen and Dexter were trying to distract her. Then Dexter threw a piece of cheese at her.
She blinked.
"I HATE YOU DEXTER, YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT!" She yelled.
"Shut up." Dexter whispered by her ear, "We're in a pub."
She promptly shoved his chair over.
Ghastly and Shudder glared at them. "You two!" Ghastly said warningly.
They shut up. Valkyrie was sniggering with Saracen at the otherside of the table. Dexter used his feet and tipped both their chairs over, right on top of an incoming Skulduggery.
"Hey guys!" Erskine said excitedly, "Come over here!" He was looking out of the window. The others forgot about the argument and came over.
He pointed out the window. "Its a UFO!" He squealed, "It keeps on coming and going, look!"
The others stared.
"There it goes again!" Erskine shouted.
"And again!" Valkyrie shouted as well.
Dexter and Saracen looked at eachother.
Dexter put his hand on Erskine's shoulder. he turned and pointed to it, "Its off again, look!"
Dexter sighed, "Erskine... that is called blinking"
Erskine looked crestfallen, "But, But..."
Saracen patted his shoulder sympathetically.
They left Valkyrie to gaze in awe at the Star.
They all came back to the table, Valkyrie tagging behind. They all started catching up. Saracen and Erskine were talking about their girlfriends.
No one asked Dexter.
An hour later...
Valkyrie was bored... bored bored bored.
She looked around the pub that they were in. She heard the door open and close. She paid no attention.
Saracen turned to talk to her, but froze!
"Impossible!" He whispered, his face pale.
Valkyrie turned to look at where he was looking. At the bar, a woman had just approached. she ordered something and sat down. her back was to them all of the time.
"Saracen, whats wrong?" Dexter asked. And he too froze, when he saw the woman at the bar. "Impossible, Sh-shes dead."
The other Dead Men were also looking in shock at the woman.
She seemed to sense she was being watched.
The woman stood up, paid for the drink and headed towards the door. She froze when she saw the Dead Men. Her face was in the shadows, so Valkyrie couldn't see who she was.
She abruptly turned and headed swiftly for the exit. Dexter, Saracen and Erskine not far behind. The others followed.
They saw a shadow dart into an alleyway. They followed. Valkyrie nearly slammed into Dexter as he stood there.
The alley was empty.
Dexter saw a figure climb over the rooftop above.
"ERSKINE!" he yelled. Erskine propelled Dexter and Saracen up to the roof. As soon as they were over, the rest came.
The woman was already far ahead, but it took only a few minutes for the Dead Men to catch up.
She was fast.
She jumped over the roof tops effortlessly.
Erskine lunged, using the air to boost him.
She dodged.
Saracen tried to do a rugby tackle.
She jumped over him.
Skulduggery tried to use the air to form a barrier.
She slid under it.
Ghastly tried to trip her up
She jumped over it.
Valkyrie used to shadows to try and catch her.
She twisted out the way.
Dexter just ran after her.
He reached out an arm, to try and slow her.
She shoved him back.
All this, without missing a step.
Then Tanith jumped infront of her. Sword drawn.
She attacked, the sword being expertly swung.
the woman drew out her own sword.
Valkyrie stopped running, her mouth dropped open.
In a matter of seconds, Tanith had been disarmed.
Tanith lunged at the woman, switching hand-to-hand.
"TANITH, LEAVE HER!" Ghastly yelled, just as Tanith was thrown into Saracen.
The woman kept running.
Valkyrie frowned, where was Erskine, Dexter and Skulduggery.
They suddenly appeared, blocking her in.
They all formed a tight circle.
The woman, at that moment, reminded Valkyrie of a trapped animal.
She tried to get by, but the Dead Men didn't budge. The air above and between them shimmered.
She was trapped.
Dexter was next to Valkyrie.
"You're meant to be Dead." He said softly.
The woman turned slowly.
Her dark piercing blue eyes locked with Dexters.
Full of betrayal, anger, mistrust and hurt.
And some where in the backround, buried so deep.
A scarred and wounded love.
What do you all think?
