The haunted theme park

Chapter 11

China screamed and ran to the oak doors. Locked. She was alone.

"Well, well, well. The famous China Sorrows in a cold damp castle. I thought I'd never see that day." Dusk had stepped out of the shadows and he was now walking towards China; who was in tears.

"Where's the girl, Valkyrie? Has she left you here whilst she goes on?" Dusk had reached China. He knocked her off her feet and she fell in a crumpled mess on the stone floor, "Well? Why are you still here?"

"It was you, you monster!" China shouted sitting up, "You locked those doors. Why?"

Dusk laughed, "It's obvious, isn't it? You two are way to strong together so I thought lets split them up. It's simple when you think about it. Besides you should think yourself lucky you've got me for company."

"Why is that lucky?" China was standing now.

"Well, your friend will have tougher competition" Dusk smiled.

"Serpine?"

"Yes"

China ran to the doors "Valkyrie!" China shouted, "Watch out, Serpine, he's in that room!"

"She can't hear you."

Well China thought I can try to get my pendant. China ran forward but Dusk was too quick, he punched China right in the face and she fell to the floor.

xXx

"China"

China opened her eyes and saw…hang on it can't be. "Skulduggery? Why are you here?"

"Valkyrie called me. She told me you were too scared to go with her so she went on alone and…"

"What is it?"

"Valkyries dead."

"Oh no," China couldn't believe it. She started to cry again.

"You should be crying. Thanks to you I no longer have a best friend."

"I'm sorry"

"Forget it. You were supposed to protect her and I now know I can't rely on you anymore." Skulduggery pushed the oak doors open, "I'm disappointed in you China," and he left.

xXx

All of a sudden China woke up. Thank god that was just a dream thought China. Dusk was leaning against the wall looking bored.

"Why does Serpine get all the fun? Me? I get stuck with you."

"Valkyries still in there?" China asked.

"Of course she is. Serpine is keeping hold of her. She is quite a thing you know."

"I know"

"Anyway it's time we had some fun to ourselves" Dusk was pacing towards China.

"Stay away from me you monster" China was backing away but came to a halt when see hit a wall.

"Scared Miss Sorrows? Cheer up you'll be so much better when you become one of us." Dusk snarled ,grabbed Chinas arms and pinned her to the wall.

This is the end China thought, she was ready. Then all of a sudden the heavy wooden doors burst open and in walked Skulduggery Pleasant followed closely by Dora-Bella.

"Stay. Away .From. My. Friend!"
