AN. Hey! I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a while. Thank you for your reviews. I hope you like this next chapter.

Sanguine's POV

Porcupine boy pops up and I stop my pacin'. I grab him by the collar and shove him against the wall, "Where is she?"

He looks like he's been cryin'.

"I-I don't know…"

Funny bones comes in and I know he's glaring at Porcupine boy too. He showed up a few minutes ago and I told him what happened.

Porcupine boy tells us what just happened with him Valkyrie and Dusk. I punch him hard and start pacin' again.

"Where could she be? Where would he take her?"

"I don't know…"

I listen to the talk as I pace. I think of where they could be. Places zoom through my mind and stops on one. My head snaps up and I stop the pacin'.

"I know where she is. Grab on."

They grab onto my arms tight and the ground cracks under us. I tunnel us into the ground.

Valkyrie's POV

My head is pounding, I slowly open my eyes and look around. I instantly know where I am. The alley way Dusk tortured me in last week.

I realise my wrists are shackled and I can't move. I hear someone chuckle not far away. I look up and see Dusk walking closer to me, he kneels beside me and I glare at him.

"Hello, Miss Cain."

"What do you want Dusk?"

"My money-."

"You'll get your money, just wait until we have it."

"You didn't let me finish. I want my money, and you."

Before I can stop it from happening he's leaning in and kissing me. I struggle against him but fail, but I don't stop trying.

Sanguine's POV

We burst through the ground and I look around to see Valkyrie shackled , Dusk kissing her and her strugglin' to get away from 'im.

I growl, "Why is everyone kissin' my girlfriend!" I jump on 'im and knock 'im to the ground.

We fight and get on top. I punch him over and over until I knock 'im out.

I get up and turn to Valkyrie, she's free from her shackles and we smile to each other. As I'm about to make my way over to her, I see her eyes widen and she screams, "Billy-Ray! Behind you!" that's when I feel the pain in my side and I hear Valkyrie scream, "No!"

Valkyrie's POV

Dusk takes the blade out of Sanguine and chuckles, "Until next time." He leaves and I run to Sanguine, kneeling beside him.

I start sobbing, "Billy-Ray…" I stroke his face.

He gives me a small smile and croaks out, "Hey lil darlin'."

"You're going to be okay, you have to be…"

"I-I'm sorry Val…" he whispers and his eyes start to close.

"No! no! no! stay awake, okay? You have to stay awake." I try and think of where to bring him. Skulduggery kneels beside me. That's when it hits me.

"Does Destiny live far from here?" I ask him gently.

He nods and gives the address. I kiss him softly and whisper against his mouth, "I love you."

"I love you too," he whisper back and passes out.

Skulduggery picks him up and we start running to Destiny's. we have to get him there fast.
