The Fight
A girl crouched behind a bush, her dark hair flowing in the wind. Valkryie Cain was on a stakeout. As was her partner Skulduggery Pleasant. She absolutely HATED these kinds of things. But Skulduggery loved them that's why they were here. They had been going after Rowley Patricks' for three months. Now after such a long time they found his escape house. He was the prime suspect in the murder of four sorcerers. But the entire sanctuary knew without doubt that he was the killer.
They were watching his house at the moment, waiting for him to go "hunting" for his next victim. But they had been waiting and watching for 9 hours and he hadn't come out once. Valkryie was getting hungry. "Skulduggery, we've been here forever. When are we going to go? I'm bored. I'm tired. I'm BORED. I really want to hit something and right now it's you." Skulduggery put a hand where his heart used to be in mock sadness, "And she threatens the innocent bystander on her babbling rant." "Innocent…," she scoffed. Skulduggery chuckled in that velvety voice she loved so much. "The day you learn patience will be the day I die." "Too late," she retorted. Skulduggery cocked his head and grinned at her. They was a sound like door closing. They both instantly whipped their heads up. Rowley was leaving his house. As he was heading toward the end of the street, Skulduggery gestured to follow them then put a finger this lips. Valkryie nodded. They followed him silently, not worrying about pedestrians; everyone was inside at this time of night. As they rounded the corner, Patricks whipped around to face them. He grinned," It was easy enough to lure you here." Skulduggery cursed under his breath. "Rowley Patricks, I am placing you under arrest for the murder of Yesenia Sage, Josh Lucky, Alexander Pow, and, Sabrina Essence. Patricks laughed a deep and throaty laugh. "If you can catch me" "I think we can," Valkryie threw in. Then three men jumped out of the shadows and situated themselves at the right of Patricks. "Oh I don't think you can," he said coldly. The three men lunged at Skulduggery and Patricks went after Valkryie. She swiped at his face which he easily blocked. Then he kicked her legs from under, she rolled and landed in crouch.
She shot up just as he was about to kick her again. She landed a punch at his stomach and found it was rock hard. She cried out as her hand broke. Patricks laughed at this' he grabbed her hand and twisted. Then she felt her wrist crack. Pain shot up her arm. She tried swinging with the other and he grabbed it. He pulled he in to his stomach and whispered in her ear, "I tell Skulduggery you said hi." With that he slid a knife deep into her chest. He let her go and walked away. She looked down shocked at the blade sticking out of her abdomen. She heard Skulduggery calling her name distantly. That's when everything went black.
