Hey guys.
Soz for the long wait, had severe writers block and been studying for exams.
Hope to make updates more frequent now.

Chapter 4: Making New Friends
An awkward silence filled the car after that. They made there way down quite back roads towards Roarhaven. In order to break the silence Ghastly reached towards the Bentley's radio and turned it on. 'Highway to Hell' by AC/DC blared out of the cars speakers.
"Well that bodes well." Valkyrie said as Ghastly turned the radio back off.
"Funny Valkyrie, very funny." Skulduggery said sarcastically turning around in his seat to look at Valkyrie from beneath his hood. He was still driving at a steady speed towards the entrance of the sanctuary.
Without any warning Fletcher leaned forward in his seat and suddenly shouted, "SKULDUGGERY! LOOK OUT!"
Skulduggery turned back in his seat and swerved the car to avoid the teenage girl running in front of the car. As it swerved she put her hands on the edge of the bonnet, swung her legs up and slid across the bonnet of the car.
A second later another girl jumped and landed on the bonnet unable to get out of the way in time. Her heels hit the bonnet with a soft click as she landed in a crouch and then slowly stood up straight as the car stopped and she regained her balance.
She must have been no older than 16 but all three men found themselves staring as she stood up. Her top cut off just above her belly button in a navy blue fabric that matched the skirt which began below her belly button showing off a small portion of a well toned flat stomach. With the thin white stripes at the skirts hem and the sleeves (which rolled up to her elbows) and the dirty white necktie reaching the top of her skirt underneath the top of the blue striped white collar it gave the look a sort of sailor girl feel. A shoulder holster rested under her right arm held a small handgun. Her skirt barely covered anything (not that the boys seemed to mind as they looked up at her through the wing screen) and she wore black socks that stopped about an inch from the skirts hem.
She looked down into the car and saw the 3 people looking up at her and just smiled before jumping of the bonnet her platinum blonde pigtails swaying as she landed. On her back was a Japanese katana style sword.
She shouted to the other girl who was standing by the entrance to a near by alley, "You lost him?"
The other girl turned around and started to walk back. Everyone in the car watched the two girls approach each other.
The second girl had black hair pulled back into a bun and the rest was kept in place with a hat that reminded Valkyrie of an air hostess. She looked slightly Asian from her colouring, 'perhaps Korean' Valkyrie thought. Her whole outfit was black and green mimicking a military style. Her top half was covered in a green army jacket zipped up half way showing a low cut black vest underneath with a small leather gun holster on the left and a couple of spare clips on the right pulled tight under her arms. Her 'trousers' were the same colour with a double belt at the top worn on her hips to show off a bit of her stomach. The 'trousers' were skin tight with black leather boots peeking out underneath with short Kuban heels. She wore fish net tights under them with rips at the knees. While walking she raised a hand with a black fingerless glove on it to her mouth and removed a lollypop. "Sorry, he was too fast."
"No problem," the blond replied. "He didn't cause any trouble."
Valkyrie was the first to get out of the car and the others soon followed.
"Who are they?" Fletcher leaned other to Valkyrie and whispered to her. She shrugged her shoulders showing she had no clue.
The girls walked towards the entrance to the Sanctuary before they realised the group was following them. They simultaneously stopped and turned around.
Skulduggery stepped forward and extended a gloved hand to one of them. "Hello. My name's... ..." he never got to finish as the Korean one interrupted him.
"Skulduggery Pleasant. Yeah, we know." She said "You're on the guest list. The Grand Mage has been waiting for you lot to arrive."
"So" Valkyrie said stepping forward slowly. "You know us. But we don't know you." She didn't ask for there names but simply stated the fact.
The blond stepped forward slowly, smoothed out her long blond bangs and straightened her navy blue head band before speaking. "Ruby Rhaspodos, and that's Garnet Rhaspodos." She said indicating to the other girl who gave a small salute to the group. Ruby turned and continued to walk into the building.
Fletcher started to say something to the rest of the group. "Wow, they are... ..." he stopped when he saw Valkyrie's glare aimed at him and quickly walked into the Sanctuary building. The rest followed as Valkyrie stood there on the steps outside taking a minute to compose her before walking in and making her way to the main hall with the others.
A/N: for any who haven't seen the film, Ruby and Garnet are dressed as Baby Doll and Amber from 'Sucker Punch'
Also in the coming weeks I am going to try and set up a deviant art account and get some pictures of the groups outfits. The link will be on the beginning of a later chapter.
