yay i finished reading the new Skulduggery Pleasant book. It's amazing.
Please R&R
Chapter 3
With Shikamaru and Ino
A tall man wearing a beautifully tailored suit and a girl about the same age as Shikamaru and Ino,
wearing black clothes in some strange material walked in.
"Sorry we're late, we got lost on the road of life." Said the man in a smooth voice.
" Is it just me or does that excuse sound familiar?" snorted Ino.
Shikamaru smiled.
'To be honest I was just glad that Artemis boy didn't call Ino a pig. THAT would not have been pretty.' he shivered at the thought.
" You two must be Mr. Pleasant and Ms. Cain." Artemis said coolly.
" Please just call me Skulduggery Pleasant, detective extraordinaire" stated Skulduggery.
" You do not deserve to be called any thing extraordinaire" snapped Valkyrie.
" So cruel"
Mr. Skulduggery did look odd. He had a huge hat on that covered pretty much all of his head apart from his wild frizzy hair that stuck out underneath. His eyes were cover by sunglasses, the rest of his face and neck were covered by a scarf. He had gloves on so you couldn't see his hands. It didn't look like if he had any skin at all.
For his female companion, she was dressed in normal clothes made of that black, strange material. But other than that she looked quite normal, if not a bit pretty. Thought Shikamaru to himself.
With Skulduggery and Valkyrie
Valkyrie cursed Skulduggery.
"Great, now everyone here thinks I'm a slacker who's late to everything." muttered Valkyrie
" Don't be so negative, I'm sure they don't think you lazy" answered Skulduggery.
" Really? So what do you think they think of me then?" Valkyrie replied suspiciously.
Knowing Skulduggery he was going to say something that instead of cheering her up,it would make her want even more to punch his face.
" They probably think that you're a cold-hearted, cruel girl, who likes muttering to herself."
Trying to resisted punching Skulduggery in the face, Valkyrie looked around the room.
The first pair she saw was Artemis and Butler. She decided she didn't like either one.
As one looked like they belonged in Twilight and the other in Frankenstein. She wasn't too worried about the boy; she was more worried about the man Butler. If a fight broke out, then she wouldn't like to be the one facing him. But then again the only way they could be here is if one of them was a genus. Suddenly the boy looked quite scary.
Then she spotted Ino and Shikamaru. They looked like average 13 year olds apart from the good looks the obviously had. The boy looked for lack of a better word like a slacker.
She decided that the girl must be the brains in the group because that boy looked like he was only capable of sleeping and eating. Nether of them looked to dangerous but something was telling her not to upset them, unless she wanted extreme pain to befall her.
With Artemis and Butler
Butler looked at the skinny man in a suit. Skulduggery looked back at the gorilla wearing a suit. Butler didn't like detective Skulduggery. His instincts told him that something was
wrong about Skulduggery. Maybe it was because he couldn't see any part of him, or maybe it was because of his companion. Either way he wasn't letting both of them go near Artemis.
He looked at the girl who had laughed at his name. He noticed Artemis kept looking at her and glaring at her friend. It was nice that for once Artemis was acting like a normal 13-year-old boy. However the boy Shikamaru noticed that Artemis was looking at his friend and glared back.
Butler sighed.
He got a feeling that even though they were just the same age as Artemis, he really didn't want to pick a fight with them two.
" Oh good everyone has finally arrived"
