ok so I know this is short and the next couple of chapters are short too. Yeayh but ill only upload more if i feel wanted k? so please review and i dont mind helpful criticism :)


I stared out my bedroom window. There was a storm out and it was sort of mesmerizing to watch the raindrops racing down the window pane. I noticed a Bentley r-type continental pull outside the house across the road. Weird nobody who lives round here would own Bentleys; they wouldn't even know anyone who would. Anyway it's no concern of mine.

I live in a house on "the wrong side of the tracks," one might say. The thing people don't know is that I have converted the whole top floor into a bedroom and ensuite. Jealous much? Sorry, I know some people haven't been as conveniently set up for life as I have. I mean not everyone has £6 million given to them by a relative they didn't even know existed. Anyway you'll here more about me later. This is the story of how I entered Skulduggery Pleasant life and please enjoy the rest.

I pulled myself away from the window. I looked around the huge room. It was full of furniture but no memories, it was covered in mess but totally empty. God I'm lonely, time to let the lonely chocolate in the fridge meet my lonely stomach.

I was halfway to the fridge when I heard a gunshot nearby. That shouldn't be unusual around here but it was. The hairs on the back of my neck prickled something that only happened when somebody needed my help. I ran to the window and seen a flame in the window of the house across the road.

I opened my window and leaped out. God, I hope no one seen that. Ow, that was more painful than it used to be. The house across the road is now quiet, which is worrying. I run across the road and break the door down. Well, thats what I was planning to do but the door was left ajar, which was even more worrying. Inside the house you can tell that there was an obvious struggle. There are things out of their places and tables turned over and broken. I walk down the hall a few more steps. I can't hear or see anyone but,suddenly, i can sense someone right behind me...
