Hey Ho, br0s. How has everyone been? I haven't written anything in a long time. Sorry about that. I've been busy, music/school/procrastinating. You know the drill. ect. ect. Here's the next bit. Enjoy.
A man stood in the doorway. His face shrouded by shadows. For a moment no one moved, stillness settling. After a moment of regarding them he turned to leave.
Just as he'd disappeared from view Valkyrie calmly said, "Follow him. Quick." Fletcher ran from the room first followed by Valkyrie not before she grabbed the torch.
"Hurry up!" Fletcher's voice found her and she looked left. Empty. Right. No one. No sign of the man or Fletcher. She turned in a full circle, still seeing no one.
"Valkyrie! He's getting away!" Choosing left she ran to where the voice came from.
Fletcher stopped, red faced and doubled over to catch his breath. "Guess you were right Val, teleportation really does lead to lazy ass." He turned; expecting to see her, eye brow raised with some smug comment, but instead he was greeted by an empty corridor. "Val?" He called out, uncertain. "Where are you?"
"Fletcher? What are you doing he's getting away?" Her voice echoed around him. "Hurry up! I've almost got him!" Panting, he took off to the right.
Valkyrie stopped, breathing heavily.
She'd run for a minute and still no sign of him, he couldn't have been that far in front of her and even if she'd gone the wrong way she assumed she would have met him somewhere along the way, the hospital couldn't be that big after all.
Sighing, she pulled her phone out, hoping to ring Skulduggery or Fletcher and meet up again. With her back against the wall she pressed speed-deil.
She listened to Skulduggery's phone ring a few times before voice-mail activated. Frowning she tried again, he always answered her calls. This time she listened to it ring 3 times before the tone cut short and the screen went dead.
Cursing she flicked the thing a few times before holding it to her ear. When she did a shriek blared in her ear, she called out and threw the phone across, it smashing into the wall opposite.
That was when she heard the footsteps.
Two people walking down the corridor a-joining the one she was currently on.
She stared at the two shadows she could see getting closer, and closer.
Without thinking she jumped up and ran into one of the rooms just as the men rounded the corner.
Hope that was okay. {='.'=}
