Valkyrie's lungs burned at she run through the trees surrounding her. She glanced over the shoulder and heard a ruffling noise behind hear.
'Stupid skeleton' thought Valkyrie as she tried to speed up. She was running in the middle of the park away from a fully grown vampire which was now chasing after her. 'Were could skulduggery be?' Valkyrie's legs screamed at her as her legs got tired.
It had been an hour since she had last seen her dead friend fighting another vampire. He being skulduggery told her to run and that he could handle this. Why did he always treat her like this? She was nearly eighteen now he should be letting her fight them not run from them. She heard a high growl come from behind her. She jerked to a stop and looked around her.
Damnit were was the Bentley? Valkyrie cursed her name for not remembering were the Bentley was. So looked around the park and couldn't see anything. There right in front of her view was the thing she was trying to get away from. The vampire was crouched down and it had saliva running down its mouth. Valkyrie froze in that exact spot and held her breath. The vampire didn't move either and it keep its black eyes on hers. She took one step back and that was all it took for the vampire to leap at her. The vampire leaped into the air getting its fangs ready to kill. Valkyrie leaped to one side and started running though the empty park. She heard the vampires footsteps become faster than hers.
Valkyrie stopped running and new was she was. It was the centre of the park. In the middle was a big fountain which has little flowers all around it. There were no more trees and Valkyrie new that the Bentley had to be around here somewhere!
Valkyrie clicked her fingers and felt the energy pour from the centre of her body and caused a spark in her handd which turned into a ball of flame. The vampire come out of the forest of trees and started to dash towards Valkyrie. Valkyrie threw the fireball at it but the vampire leaped over it and into the air. The vampire could have landed on Valkyrie because of that leap and killed her. But Valkyrie shot out her hand felt the air press against her palm and shoot her hand at the vampire causing it to hurl back into the bush.
Valkyrie signed with relief. But it wasn't over the vampire would soon find its way back to her. Valkyrie turned on her heel and ran towards the fountain. She stood right in front of the fountain looking around cursing skulduggery's name for not being here. A cold gloved hand touched her shoulder and Valkyrie turned around and punched the person hard in the jaw. Skulduggery's head went back and he nearly lost balance.
Skulduggery regained his balance and stared at Valkyrie, well it was hard to tell since he had no face.
Valkyrie stood there and for no reason started laughing putting her hand over her mouth.
"Sorry skul. Thought you were a vamp" Valkyrie said between laughs
Skulduggery put his arm across his chess "you're comparing me to a vamp"
"Yep"
"Am the world's best detective and your comparing me to a vampire!"
"Well the world's best detective just got punched in the jaw by an 18 year old girl"
Skulduggery put his hand to where he got punched "you think that hurt. Ha you wish"
"I bet it did you just want admit it because I was the one who hit you"
"That's why it didn't hurt"
"Are you saying that I wouldn't be able to beat you up?"
"Yep"
Valkyrie walked over to him and punched his arm playfully. They were heading towards the Bentley when someone thing came out from the corner of Valkyries eye. She gasped and turned to see one angry vampire emerging from the bush.
Valkyrie felt warmth near her as she watched skulduggery hurl to fireballs at the coming vampire. The vampire dodged the two fireballs and kept on coming at them. Skulduggery put his hand into his jacket and pulled out his revolver. He fired three bullets at the vampire. The vampire gracefully dodged the first two but the third bullet hit it right in its shoulder causing the vampire to take a step back. The vampire growled in pain and nearly lost balance. It shook its head causing the saliva on its mouth to flick everywhere. The vampire dashed across the grass heading towards them.
Valkyrie had an idea. Valkyrie ran towards the vampire and heard skulduggery call her name, but she ignored. Valkyrie stopped in her tracks and put her hands together feeling the air around her hands. The vampire was just a few miles from her, Valkyrie waited for the vampire to come closer. When the vampire was close enough it leaped high in the air and opened its wide mouth. Showing of its sharp teeth.
At the very last minute when the vampire was close to killing its prey. Valkyrie pushed the wind of her hands aiming it towards the vampire. It was a direct hit and it sent the vampire high in the air. While it was in the air Valkyrie quickly summoned a flame and threw it at the vampire while it was in mid air. The vampire saw it coming but it was too late. The fireball hit it straight in the face causing its head to light on fire.
The vampire landed on the ground painfully and struggled to extinguish the flames. It started to roll over on the grass and was only centimetres away from Valkyrie. While on the ground the vampire lashed out its arm and dug its claws into Valkyries leg. Valkyrie cried out in pain and feel to the ground as the claws dug deeper into her skin. Valkyrie lashed out her other leg and hit the vampire in the head causing it to retrieve its claws from her leg.
Valkyrie clutched her leg and the blood spilled over her hands. The vampire cried out as the pain hit. The vampire started to shake and then it was still, lying in the grass.
Valkyrie eyes got waterier and she started to sob. Tears started to fall down her face. She tried to stand but the pain got worse and she fell to the ground. Her leg had three huge cuts that ran deep into her skin from her knee to ankle. She heard skulduggery's footsteps coming up behind her and she wiped some stray tears.
"Are ok?" skulduggery said concerned. Valkyrie nodded and skulduggery walked over to the vampire. He studied the vampire and nodded with satisfaction. 'Wouldn't skulduggery be telling her off by now?' Valkyrie thought 'Maybe he hadn't seen her leg yet'
Valkyrie tried once more to get up but the pain hit again and she started to full. Valkyrie groaned as she landed her head in the grass. Skulduggery ran to her and helped her up.
"Are you sure you're alright?"
"m-m-maybe?" Valkyrie said weakly. The pain hit again and she hissed.
Skulduggery looked down at her leg and she heard him gasped. He put his hand around her waist and helped her towards the car. Skulduggery put her in her seat and shut the door and went around the other side. But something must have caught his eye as he pulled out his gun. Valkyrie heard a low growl.
'WHAT! The vampire was still alive? Valkyrie stared at it. The vampires face was completely messed up. Most of the vampires face had melted because of the burn and had a big bruise on its heard. It was really angry now! And it dashed as skulduggery fired bullets. Valkyrie started to shut her eyes and then she heard a nose. A nose of someone opening the car door.
The last thing Valkyrie felt was the touch of someone's warm hands.
