Chapter 14 – Burning Inferno

Valkyrie Cain stood up and composed herself so that she didn't burst into tears.

"You just killed one of my best Friends!" Valkyrie said, glaring at inferno.

Inferno looked at Tanith's dead body.

"Oh yes… So I did. It was great fun though"

Valkyrie Cain's heart had just set on fire. She could feel the energy building up inside her, and then mix itself with Anger. Suddenly this feeling gave flashbacks. She thought of Skulduggery Pleasant, that she lost. She thought of her uncle; Gordon Edgely, and she thought of Tanith Low who she had just lost and who she watched the light drain out of her eyes.

Valkyrie's face screwed up and she lunged a Shadow at him. This wasn't just a normal Necromancy shadow. It was an Elemental Shadow. The shadow seemed to burn with black shadow. It plunged through Inferno's stomach.

Without taking the shadow out of his stomach she walked over to him.

"Give me the Skull and I might let you live."

Inferno gurgled blood in his throat. He rasped

"Billy… Ray… Sanguine…"

She took the shadow out and his intestines fell on to the floor. He fell with them.

She looked at the bodies and began to cry.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the library Fletcher was looking at a book on reincarnation. A hand went around his mouth and he was gone.

Valkyrie picked herself up and walked to Kenspeckle's Cinema with Tanith's body over her back. Thinking how was she going to find Billy Ray Sanguine.
