Hi! Tis meeeee, no I didn'd die or drop off the face of the Earth. Allthough none of you probably thought that. :( No matter I has been busy, school and more school. I am taking certain GCSE's (if you're english you'll know what I'm talking about) early, English being one of them, so fanfics haven't really been my top priority, Sorry! Anyway this is the next bit to my story, hope you enjoy! R&R please!

OH yes how was everyone's halloweens? I would LOVE to know if you did anything (coz I'm a stalker/rapist only joking) any good horror films? XD

F**k Scincerley FracturedLittleWishes.

P.S. Slight swearing, nothing bad (kindda :/) but if you're easliy offened (or a noob) brace yourselves!

Valkyrie woke up to a light flickering above her. Shielding her eyes from the sudden brightness, she slowly sat up.

She was lying in a cold, run down room. It was dark lit only by a flickering naked bulb hanging from the roof by a dirty wire. She shivered as she got the feeling she was being watched. Around her ankles she felt something cold and heavy.

down, she saw huge chains clasped around her legs. Uselessly she pulled at them, begging for them to come off. Instead they cut her fingers and broke her nails. She hissed in pain and sucked her thumb tasting blood.

She heard a noise behind her and spun round. Lying on the floor was Fletcher, bloodied and shackled the same as her. She crawled over to him as far as the chains would allow.

"Fletcher? Are you OK?"

"Ow. Apart from being attacked, hit over the head, kidnapped and waking up in a strange room that is scarily familiar, yes thank you. I'm fine."

"Good. Just wanted to be sure."

"Aw, nice to know you care. But where the hell are we?"

"I wish I knew, but I think we're about to find out." She motioned as a door opened.

Out of it walked a man, well she thought it was a man, but he was wearing a white mask so she couldn't be sure.

Instinctively she moved away from him and gripped Fletcher's hand. He gave it a comforting squeeze. For a while the man just stared at them with its eyeless stare. It tilted its head and moved towards them.

Valkyrie struggled against his grip as he dragged her along the grimy floor, by her arm.

"Leave her alone!" She heard Fletcher shout angrily.

The man paid no attention and pushed her roughly into a glass box.

Valkyrie's heart raced as he made to shut the door.

"Let me go!" She screamed at him. "You shit! Open the door! Don't you dare! No, Fletcher no!" She screamed again in desperation as he shut the door.

It was some see through material, like glass but not.

And the thing that worried her was there was another one, exactly like hers, across the room.

She banged against the walls, kicking out as much as the shackles around her ankles would allow. She shouted, her cries muffled by the box walls.

"Leave him alone! Let me out! Let us go! You bastard!"

"Now, now," said a low voice in her ear. She looked up and saw, right in the corner of her prison, there was a tiny speaker and camera trained on her. "Such language is not becoming spilling out of such a young, pretty lady's mouth."

She glared up out the camera. "Listen you git. I'll make you a deal, you let me and Fletcher out now and I promise I won't let Skulduggery beat you up too much."

The voice chuckled. "I think not."

"OK, your loss. He'll kill you then, but not if I don't first." She shot a fist out at the wall. She screamed as the bones in her fist were smashed. "What the fuck is this stuff?"

"All in good time my dear. Again the language is really not appropriate, so I think if you know what's good for you, you'll stop now. Or I might have to be forced to take serious action against you and, perish the thought, Mr Renn over there."

"You fucking dare."

"Well you can't say I didn't warn you."

Fletcher's dampened scream, pierced the silence. She looked as electrical currents ran through him, his back arched and he collapsed, slumped against the narrow side of the box.

"You bastard! What the hell did you do to him?" She banged at the door. "Let me out!"

"Humm. It seems you are too much trouble for your own good."

She stared defiantly at the camera. "I'm not scared of you; I'm not scared of some creep who watches way too many horror movies."

The voice made a noise that could have been a laugh, and spoke. "Oh no Valkyrie I am so much more. More than you could ever imagine, I'm the Breaker. That's what I do, I break people. I make them scream and beg for death. I make them realise their worst fears."

"Skulduggery's going to kill you. He's going to come for me and kill you."

"He's not coming Valkyrie," the voice soothed as a green gas filled the tank. "Did that scare you? I hope so. That's what I do, I scare people."

Valkyrie coughed as the gas found its way into her lungs. "What is that? What are you doing to me? Stop it!"

"He's not coming, Valkyrie. You're no use to him anymore. He can get a new assistant, he's better off with you dead anyway."

She covered her ears and slumped on the floor. "He is coming, he is," she whispered to herself, as the gas dampened her thoughts and made her sleepy. "He will come, and he'll kill….."

The person behind the camera looked down on the unconscious girl.

"I sincerely hope so Valkyrie, I really do."

There I hope that was good. XD
