I'm sorry that last chapter was so naff and bad but I'll try make up for it please r&r I really like having feedback so I can improve. Anyways here's the next chapter

Skulduggery looked up, pain reaching every bone in his body, hands still chained to the walls, he no longer had the strength to stand.

'Well you're an easy man to break I must admit' Sinful chuckled. 'All these stories, about how we should fear you.' He walked closer. 'Unbeatable they called you.'

Skulduggery grunted, watching as he came at him again, twisting his leg. He gritted his teeth the pain unbearable,' well I'm going easy on you.' He murmurs.

The man laughed. 'Oh you are you, well then I best not give you the chance to get stronger' with that he plunged his fist into his gut and twisted again. Skulduggery let out a scream.

Then suddenly, a dark figure appeared out of the shadows, and there stood Darquesse. 'Stop, you can't be the one to finish him off. He must feel what it's like for his heart to be wrenched out of his body.'

Sinful smiled, 'you highness, I'm Sinful Reprobate, I freed you!' He walked closer to her.' I swear my allegiance to you; my loyalty to you is infinite….'

'That's enough!' Darquesse said, and then smiled. 'In what way did you free me?'

He grinned. 'It was a masterful plan; first I did a little research on you, there were many stories of your greatness. Then I got into that Tanith girls head and attacked Valkyrie, forcing he to release you. However that plan failed. But… But whilst I was in her head I saw of Valkyries feelings toward this pile of bones.' He says gesturing to skulduggery. 'So I phoned him up and threatened him, that if he didn't come here alone and unarmed, I would hurt his little girl and then…'

'Gah' she said in frustration, and flung him against the wall with a swat of her hand, and he fell dead on to the floor.

'He really was getting annoying' she smiled and walked over to the hanging skeleton. 'didn't you think so, all this talking; I was starting to get a headache!'

She undid his chains; he dropped to the floor and groaned. 'Valkyrie..?...'

'Oh no I'm still here' she said grinning. 'But where's the fun in leaving you hanging, I haven't been out in ages, I'm not gonna let you die quickly.' She lifts him up in the air and twists his pelvis round, laughed then dropped him again.

'Valkyrie… your still… in there, I know you are. Stop this ….please? ' He whispers, face contorted with pain.

She laughed. 'Oh but Skul, she's just as mad at you as I am. You broke her little heart in to little pieces, and she wants to kill you just as much as me!'
