I haven't written in a while, my apologies.

But hopefully this next chapter will be satisfying enough :)


The wind was rushing through her ears.
Her skin was pulled tight against her cheeks.
Her clothes were billowing out behind her, and her hair was streaming out behind her too. Both like failing parachutes.
As she spread her arms wide, she almost laughed despite herself.
The feeling of exhilaration that caught her breath, almost drowned out the panic threatening to choke her.

Her body was tense as she went, fighting back.
And now, now she was spinning, tumbling, turning. Dancing through the air.
She was falling so fast, she swore that the air was rushing towards her, as she traveled toward the unwelcome embrace.
She tried to catch her breath, but the solid walls of air that constantly hit her, failed to allow it.

Searchingly, she turned her head to the side, struggling for a breath.
She flailed in the air, her arms and legs numb with the euphoric sensation of falling.
Tears streamed up her face, from the outside corners of her eyes, up past her temples and into her hair.

She closed her eyes and welcomed the darkness.
Her ears clasped at the blaring and humming sounds as her body gave in and relaxed.

She felt the impact a second after she hit the floor, she felt her face crunch and knee-caps shatter, and then numbness and nothingness.

Skulduggery watched her fall, he screamed and yelled, he shook his skull. He cursed.
His eye-sockets went blank as he watched her bounce across the pavement, then he looked up to the roof of the 8 story building to see Ghastly.
Then, Skulduggery turned, and walked away. Job done. The lesser of two evils.


I apologize for the torturous events of this chapter. Hope you all enjoyed it. Please review xx
