Hey guys alright this is my first fanfiction story and I'm co-writing it with my friend Reia Kellyn :D xx
Alright so we thought up this story in our English class-thank you Mr Welch and Young ;) We're gonna be killing off a Skulduggery Pleasant character in each chapter to the title of a Muse song, being as :L It should have a plot, eventually...
China sighed as she kicked the last person out of her library. ''Open hours are over, peasant!'' she yelled, slamming the door. She floated to her apartment and slipped into a silk nightgown, sitting gracefully down onto a sofa. She had just settled down to her current book - an interesting biopic named Scapegrace Pleasant: Retarded Zombie King. After reading a few chapters she stretched, yawned delicately and made to put the lights out. Something flickered at the corner of her vision and she spun round, symbols already fading up on her palms. She advanced through the room, peering cautiously ahead. ''If this is Ghastly trying to steal my shoes again I will personally kill him,'' she hissed.
China tapped her foot against the floor twice and a blue glow filled the dark room that was only illuminated by the glow of moonlight. The search revealed nothing and she narrowed her eyes. Something was playing with her. She strode over to her lamp and plugged the switch in. If she had been watching more closely, she would have seen another wire sneaking away from the lamp base. If she had been watching more closely, she would have seen the one thing that had truly threatened her in all her years of existence.
But it was too late.
Maybe China noticed it a fraction of a second before she flicked the switch. Maybe that was why her eyes widened slightly as the lamp flickered briefly then the ball of light expanded, blowing out from the lamp and striking her. She was thrown back by the strike, hitting the floor heavily. Her hand was burnt black from the overloaded charge of electricity that had gone right through her, stopping her heart and pulse.
A shadow moved over the woman, who had lost none of her beauty in death. It observed her slowly, silently, before turning and leaving.
Please review, really want to know what you thought. We'll be writting the next chapter soon. Hope you enjoyed :)
