Also, like my other fanfic, Valkyrie is 22:P I aint a fan of her being so young hehe
Chapter One: Sanguine.
Valkyrie Cain slammed a kick into the jaw of a man that is known for attempted murder only but calls himself a murder artist,this man just seemed too keep appearing, no matter how many times he gets thrown into a holding cell, he manages to get out.
She spun around as she heard an approach behind her and struck her hand out into the persons gut, but heard a familiar grunt, then she noticed that he was wearing a scarf around his jaw and a low brimmed hat. It was Skulduggery Pleasant, her partner and mentor.
"Oops!" She gasped as the man she had just kicked grabbed her from behind and shoved her into the wall.
Skulduggery grabbed the man as he launched himself at him, then pinned him too the wall.
"Hm, Scapegrace again? Do you ever give up? You never actually manage too murder someone so why do you bother?" Skulduggery asked him in an amused voice.
"He never gives up, thats why he gets into so much trouble." Valkyrie added in.
"Yeah yous can gloat, one day it'll be you both begging me too let you go while i torture you." Scapegrace snapped back.
"Well then until that day comes, im placing you under arrest, anything you say may be used against you and well... you know the drill" Skulduggery said chucking him into the back seat of the bentley.
Valkyrie and Skulduggery got into the car and belted themselves in.
"Nice of you too thump me when i came too your rescue." Skulduggery commented.
"I'm sorry didn't mean too, thought you were someone else." Valkyrie replied and she smiled apoligetically.
"Its ok, i didn't really feel it, im too amazing." he said.
"Could your skull inflate any bigger?" Valkyrie smirked.
Skulduggery stayed quiet. Strange. He never stayed quiet when she said something like that.
"You're staying in Gordons tonight yes?" He asked abruptly.
"Um... Gordons I guess, yeah." Valkyrie replied, a confused look on her face.
"Okay." Was all she got.
They drove in silence for the next five or so minutes.
Skulduggery was thinking about his feelings for the twenty two year old girl sitting beside him, they had grown in the years that he has known her. He tilted his head too the side and sighed. Valkyrie looked at him.
"Whats wrong?"
"Hm? Oh nothing..." He replied.
"Theres something, why did you sigh?" Valkyrie pressed.
Skulduggery looked around at Vaurien Scapegrace and "Later." Was all he said.
Valkyrie pulled a face and Skulduggery looked over at her and laughed.
"Fine. Later then." She agreed.
"You can talk you know, i aint gonne say anything, learned my lesson the last time." Scapegrace said quietly.
They ignored him. Last time he had taunted Valkyrie on their way too the Sanctuary, Skulduggery had drove through the beach at night and tied his cuffs too the wing mirror and continued too drive down the beach with Scapegrace yelping and running with them. Valkyrie hadn't laughed so much in ages.
They arrived at the Sanctuary and got out of the car. Valkryie led the way through the back door while Skulduggery directed Scapegrace through the many halls. The Administrator looked up and gave them a look of loathing but he got up and walked over. He was a big man, bigger than Ghastly Bespoke.
"I'll take him, you can go. Grand Mage wouldn't be too pleased too see you both here again." He snapped at them.
Valkyrie went too leave without a word but Skulduggery grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Actually i wondered if we could speak with the Grand Mage ." He sounded amused as he used Guilds official title, Valkyrie gave him a strange look, he hadn't told her anything about this.
"Grand Mage is busy, he won't be seeing anybody tonight." And he walked away without another word with Scapegrace.
As they were walking out of the back doors, Valkyrie looked at Skulduggery.
"Why did you want too talk too Guild?" She asked.
"I've heard something about Billy-Ray Sanguine. He seems to be causing trouble again." She replied quietly.
"He's coming after me again isn't he...?" Valkyrie asked, fright in her voice.
Skulduggery nodded and spoke.
"Yes... I won't let him touch you Valkyire, and if he gets around me, he will be a dead man when I get to him." Skulduggery growled.
Valkyrie was taken aback by the protectiveness in his voice.
"Thank you..." Valkyrie mumbled.
"Er.... Okay." He sounded embarressed when he answered. "Will I drop you to Gordon's then?"
"Yeah okay.. But what happens if Sanguine comes?" Valkyrie asked.
"I'll stay with you until Tanith gets here and then I have to go and get some more information from Mr. Bliss about the whereabouts of Sanguine and any clues to what he's going to do ." He answered her. Then took out his phone and dialled Tanith's number.
"Hello Tanith, would you be able to come over and babysit Valkyrie while I talk to Mr. Bliss about some upcoming events?"He looked at Valkyrie and smiled at how she scowled at him. He knew she didn't take kindly to being 'looked' after.
Valkyrie heard a reply and Skulduggery thanked her and hung up.
"Tanith will be here soon and I'm going to stay with you until she gets here." Skulduggery said.
"Ah right okay, thank you.."
When they arrived at Gordon's estate, Valkyrie opened the door and led the way through the house, dropping her keys onto the table in the kitchen while she went.
"So when is Tanith coming?" She asked when the silence got to awkward.
"Err she should be here in a few minutes."
I'm just going to shut up because he sounds like he really does not want to talk, Valkyrie thought.
Just then, the floor started to crumble and a man with big sunglasses and sandy blonde hair erupted from the ground.
"Well hello lil' darlin, haven' seen you in a while, how ya been?"Billy-Ray Sanguine said in his southern drawl, standing back and leaning against the counter casually.
"Ah no not you..." Valkyrie sighed. She was standing next to Skulduggery and they were both standing warely.
"Sanguine." Skulddgery said and tilted his head.
