Howdy.

So, in this chapter, we are taking Sanguine's view. (Yay.)

I should probably put a disclaimer here, so...

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Skulduggery Pleasant, Billy-Ray Sanguine, Valkyrie Cain... Let's just say that the only characters I own so far are Avarice Miser, Terry Deceitimal, 'Oved', 'Dimitri', The Unfriendly Man and I think that's it. :)

For this chapter, it may seem longer if you make the Story Width 3/4 (By clicking the 6 (I think) lines on the grey bar below the story description here, and then selecting 3/4). That way it looks how I wrote it in Word, and therefore looks longer... XD

Enjoy the chapter :)


Chapter 3: In the Beginnin'- Part 2

I woke to the sound of small voices and a lot of gruntin' and huffin'. I reached out for my sunglasses and pushed them onto my face, sittin' up. Well, lookee here, I thought to myself. I have company. I looked at the far wall were a new figure was bein' dropped, and had to stop myself from groanin'. Valkyrie Bloody Cain lay sprawled across the floor, the wall proppin' up her head, still unconscious. Goddamnit, why was she here?

"What's she for, Sir?" A deep, gruff voice asked. I decided to listen it; it could be interestin'.

"None of your business, Dimitri." Avarice Miser replied. My shoulders sagged, and I took to glarin' at her curled up form. Maybe it would be easier to kill her now. Though Miser wouldn't like that.

Valkyrie stirred in her unconscious sleep. Miser and his men went back to hushed voices, and I couldn't hear 'em no more. Eventually, he left, his cronies followin' him. Bodyguards, he called 'em. More like puppies.

.oOo.

I heard a groan come from across the wide cell. She'd woken up. She was rubbin' her neck, and wincin'. Any minute now, she'd turn round, see me, and freak out. Or threaten me. She likes doin' that. Any minute, no, second now-

"What the hell are you doing here?" Cain cried. Her eyes were wide and her jaw hung open. I attempted to brush down my suit, which was all crinkled and dirty.

"Lovely to see you too." I pulled a grin. I felt laid-back and safe, despite her appearance so close to me, mainly 'cos she's got no magic anymore. "And why are you here, li'l darlin'?" I ran my fingers through my hair, to kinda comb it.

"No idea. The Miser dude got one of his henchmen to knock me out." She explained, huggin' her knees to her chest.

"Where's Bones, then?" I ask, glancin' around and just realizin' he wasn't there.

"They might have him, but then they may have just left him there. The knocked him out too, if you were wondering." Valkyrie answered. I mentally cheered. "He'll find me fairly soon, so I'm not really worried." I shrugged at her. She seemed a li'l too dependent of Funny Bones.

There was a small silence. "They gave Tanith back." Valkyrie said. I nodded. I'd given Tanith to Miser to give to Funny Bones and co. And then he knocked me out and kidnapped me. "That was me." I told her.

"I think this is the first normal conversation we've had." I pointed out, smilin' at her. She replied with a glare. She was obviously is a bad mood. Probably 'cos she was knocked out and all that. I wasn't feelin' too good after gettin' hit over the head really hard either. More silence. Ugh, silence was dull.

"So..." I said, attemptin' to start a conversation. I'd been so bored over the past few weeks or however long it's been, so now that there was someone I knew there, I was kinda grabbin' the chance with both hands. "Been anywhere nice?"

"Listen, Sanguine," Valkyrie sighed, turnin' to me while still sittin', "I realise you're bored and everything, but I honestly don't care. Right now, I need to think, and that's fairly impossible with you anyway, let alone with you trying to talk to me. So just, you know, be quiet." She turned back and went to curlin' up against the wall. I raised my hands in a surrender-like motion. She's might grumpy today, obviously.

"Alright. Sorry." I grumble. "Just tryin' to be friendly."

"Shut up, Sanguine."

"Don't feel like it."

"Shut up."

"Nah."

"Sanguine..." Valkyrie growled.

"Yeah, li'l darlin'?"

"Shut up."

"If you insist."

"Thank you."

I was the one to sigh this time. Who knew how long Bones was gonna take gettin' here? He could take weeks... Oh, God... Imagine three weeks alone with Valkyrie Cain.

Please, kill me.


Sorry it was so short, but I had major writers block and didn't know what to write... D: And my computer blue-screened...
