Purely out of rage Skulduggery pulled the trigger and, had Valkyrie not pushed the gun away, it would have gone straight into Crux's chest. Instead it shattered a nearby window. Skulduggery dropped the gun and if he had a face it would be mortified at itself. With his hands on his head Skulduggery took a few steps back. Everyone was staring at him in amazement. Valkyrie was most shocked. Her hero had just attempted murder.
"What was I thinking" Skulduggery bellowed. He looked up at Valkyrie and spoke.
"please, Valkyrie, i'm not a murderer, I was, I was, I was just angry, please don't be mad" He stuttered. Valkyrie ran up to him and hugged him.
" you were sticking up for me, how could I be mad" She whispered. Guild broke the mood.
"that man attempted murder" he yelled " arrest him"
Suddenly Skulduggery, Valkyrie, Tanith and Ghastly were running for their life. Fletcher just teleported out of the sanctuary in the blink of an eye so he was not with them. Six cleavers sprinted and caught up with them and they surrounded them.
" come have a go if you think your hard enough" Tanith said softly. Just before a brawl broke out Skulduggery spoke.
"Tanith there is no need for you to be a criminal too, just leave them be"
"your just going to go quietly" Vlakyrie asked, shocked
"of course not" Skulduggery said and she could have sworn he winked. Without warning Skulduggery splayed his palm creating a gust of wind and the cleavers went flying. Next he summoned a flame in his hand and Valkyrie watched in amazement as he moulded it into a dragon. The firey dragon was sitting on Skulduggery's hand and then a lot more cleavers came. Tanith grabbed Valkyrie's arm and dragged her out of the building. Outside they all regrouped.
"we can't just leave him in there" Valkyrie panted
"He recently tricked a faceless one I think he can handle some cleavers" Ghastly said but the concern in his voice said otherwise. They drove off in Ghastly's van, praying Skulduggery was alright.
I have a whole plot planned out and yes thier will be some valduggery
