'Oh hell.' Valkyrie whispered. 'Surprise!' She yelled as she jumped up.
'What are you doing?' Skulduggery hissed.
'No clue.' The second Jitter Girl walked through the wall and Valkyrie backed away. 'Tell you what. This one's mine, you can have the other one.'
'Seriously, it'll take both of us to take down one of them.'
'Well then, go help Sky.
'She's dead.'
'So is this thing. Go. I'll be fine.'
'Val...'
'GO!'
Even though it was day outside the forest, it felt like night inside the forest. The thick canopy of leaves was blocking out any traces of sunshine and Sky had tripped twice. She could fell the bruises forming on her face, legs and arms (she permanently kept her facade up these days). Plus she hadn't been able to shake the Jitter Girl off, the little bitch (AHHHHHHH a rude word). She narrowly missed a tree trunk, twisting and pushing off at just the last second, luckily the Jitter Girl couldn't see any better and Sky heard the satisfying 'thunk' as it hit the tree and fell to the ground.
'Ha... got... you... now!' Sky gasped, catching her breath.
'SKY!' Skulduggery bellowed in the distance, and Sky straightened up and smiled.
'Ha.' Sky goaded and it sat up. 'Oh... it's back to the running thing again, isn't it. I don't much like the running thing. Can't we trade witty banter instead, much less tiring. Nope, okay then. Running it is.' Sky sighed and bolted towards Skulduggery's voice.
Skulduggery looked around frantically, trying to find any trace of Sky.
'Skulduggery!' Sky yelled.
'Sky.' Skulduggery breathed a sigh of relief.
'Holy shit (another rude word) man. That was not fun!'
'Yeah. Come on.' Skulduggery gestured to the house.
'More bloody (yet another rude word) running!' Sky sighed before taking off after Skulduggery.
Valkyrie punched, she dodged, she kicked, tried every choke hold that Skulduggery had taught her and it still wasn't enough. Then Sky came barreling through the door yelling 'LEAD IT OUTSIDE!' From what she could gather, Skulduggery and Sky had a plan.
'Alright then Jitter Girl, let's do this.' Valkyrie gasped, running for the door, the Jitter Girl following her close behind. As soon as she burst out the front door Skulduggery punched the Jitter Girl to the ground, pounced on it and opened the box. There was a blinding white light as it got sucked back in.
'Wow. That was fun. If you don't mind, I'm going to collapse now.' Sky said breezily before fainting. Valkyrie and Skulduggery rushed to catch her.
Sky woke up to a harsh light. She clamped shut her eyes and held her hand in front of her face. 'That's bright.' She croaked.
'Wondered when you'd show up.' China glared.
'Hello China, how you've been? Killed anyone lately?'
'Oh shut up child.'
'She's back.'
