P.S. I am sitting here right now trying to get this updated ASAP because I hold in my lap one of the books I have been waiting for for ages and am really eager to start chapter two. The book? Which book? You ask. My dear friends, the book I hold in my hands is Skulduggery Pleasant - Dark Days. If you already have it and are laughing at me right now, screw you!! Especially if you happen to have it from New Zealand / Austrailia... WE'RE CLOSER TO IRELAND THAN YOU ;[!!!!!!!!!!1 GRRRRR. anyways, Here's the chapter :)

Delphian, out.

"FLETCHER RENN! I SWEAR I WILL SHOOT YOUR SORRY ASS IF YOU DO NOT GIVE THAT BACK" Valkyrie, Delphian, Neera, Skulduggery and Kenspeckle all looked at each other puzzled. Then Fletcher ran into the room cowering like a scared little puppy.

"Help me!" He whimpered, and Tanith busted into the room armed with a gun. Tanith. With a gun. As if this wasn't confusing enough.

"Tanith, have you ever even shot a gun?" Skulduggery asked, cocking his skull to the left, Tanith glared.

"Yes, of course I have you dimwit. I'm not completely thick. Anyway, I would have my sword if this freaking pain in the ass didn't take it." She snarled, and now everyone understood, only just noticing the sword that Fletcher clutched tight. No one in their right mind took Tanith's sword, unless she told you to.

"Hand it over! NOW!" She growled again, really losing her patience. Fletcher whined.

"Fletcher, I would give it to her if I were you. She isn't joking when she says she will shoot you. Skul, do you remember that time you took it to look at and she buried your arms in Gordon's backyard?" Valkyrie snickered at the memory, Skulduggery groaned.

"Yes. It took forever to get the dirt out. I can easily say I won't be doing it again anytime soon." He replied, and Fletcher sent a look at them, as if telling them to help him, like that was going to happen.

"Fletcher, listen to Valkyrie give it to Tanith or she will shoot you." Neera said, already bored of the situation and very annoyed that she is still covered in feathers.

"No!" He protested, still acting like a toddler who doesn't want to eat his vegetables.

"Tanith just shoot him." Delphian said also getting bored, "We're in a medical centre anyway, Kenspeckle, would you mind?" She asked casually and he shook his head and left the room muttering on how stupid kids are these days.

Tanith shrugged and shot the gun, hitting Fletcher in the leg. "OW! SHIT! JEEZE! WOW! OW! YOU BLOODY SHOT ME!" He screamed, having dropped the sword and clutched the bleeding leg. Kenspeckle walked back in with the stuff he needed to help.

"We told you!" all of the girls chorused, and burst out into giggles afterward, Tanith reclaiming her sword.

The gang were back at Gordon's, well all except Fletcher who was still with Kenspeckle recovering from Tanith's shot."I'm bored." Neera said, turning her famous lava lamp on and off repeatedly, as soon as they had arrived back she had gotten clean, eventually getting all the feathers out of her hair.

"Same." Agreed a sulking Delphian who was now covered in custard and glitter. Neera had gotten her revenge.

"Well, we need to work on this case. Milo was killed for apparently no reason and you two were there, when you ran and tried to cut them off what did they look like?" Skulduggery asked, and the two girls remembered.

"Well," Delphian started.

"There were four of them," Neera continued

"Well, that's all we heard, there could have been more down the road," Delphian.

"But they were all quite freaky actually, all in black robes with a blue trim," Neera.

"Totally out of season by the way- but they were powerful, threw us both out of the way with a flick of one of their hands," Delphian.

"That bloody hurt too! And one of them had purple trim as well as blue," Neera.

"She was female, and was obviously the boss of the mission," Delphian.

"Wait, black robes with blue trim? And Blue and purple trim? Are you sure?" Skulduggery asked and the girls nodded and replied simultaneously "Definitely."

"I know the name of the group if it helps?" Delphian added, "Dhraymaar's Circle, or something like that." She said.

"I know. They haven't been heard of in Ireland since before the Great War..." Skulduggery whispered in a deadly tone. "They're killers. They kill for fun, for money, for praise. They just kill." He explained to a blank-faced Valkyrie.

"Ah. So it's a biggie?" She asked.

"Yes. It's a big biggie." Skulduggery replied, deadly serious.

Delphian: Haha I get what you did there.

Authors Sence: What do you mean?

Delphian: 'deadly serious' .. haha.

Authors Sence: ??

Delphian: .. You know, 'cause Skul-dudes dead? you know, Deadly serious?

Authors Sence: .....
