A Little Bit Of Heartbreak
Blaize Carpentire was woken in the middle of the night by her phone ringing in her ear. She sat up slowly, rubbed her eyes and answered. Valkyrie Cain was on the other end. She sounded very upset and in tears.
"Blaize…Blaize, Skulduggery's gone" Blaize did a double take.
"W-what? What do you mean 'gone'" Blaize had a sick, twisted feeling in her stomach, and it was not the baby.
"I was attack tonight by Solomon Wreath's shadow minions. Skulduggery saved me and then he said that he was going to find Wreath. He told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and that he's sorry. I can't believe it…" Valkyrie was openly crying down the phone. Two single tears escaped from Blaize's violet eyes.
"I know where he's gone. Solomon and him fought some years ago. And Solomon was banished to Russia. That was were Wreath met China. The pair made a pact to help each other if attacks were launched. As China's plan failed, Wreath's plan comes into play. Valkyrie, they're after you and you alone. You are rare and powerful. You have ancient blood in your veins and hold the fate of the world in you hands. That's why. Skulduggery has gone to Russia, which is where Wreath is. He might not come back. I have to go, I'm sorry." Valkyrie said a tearful goodbye and the end of the phone went dead. Blaize breathed in and out, trying to relax. She moved back some of the loose floorboards in their luxury bedroom and pulled out a thick, leather bound book. Taking chalk and candles she drew a circle and wrote out the runes. Placing herself in the middle of the circle she muttered the chant under her breath. In a blink her mind was separated from her body. The other Blaize channelled Skulduggery and found him. He was situated outside the high security prison. Blaize was watching him and she knew exactly what was going on. She forced her way into his head. This was advanced magic and Blaize could feel her energy draining. She spoke;
"Skulduggery, is that you? What are you doing." Skulduggery jumped and replied.
"W-what! Is that you Blaize? Where are you? What?"
"Yes it's me, I cant stay for long, don't do this, come home. Please!"
"No, Wreath needs to be stopped…and…." Skulduggery's voice was fading, Blaize scowled and concentrated harder, but it was no use, she managed to yell to him, the words that stabbed at his heart and made him stop.
"Be… Brave… I…love…you..." Blaize's other part rushed back into her and she collapsed back onto the wooden floor, she was fighting for her energy back, it was fading fast. The baby was slipping, she could feel it. She prayed, hard. Please if there is a God out there, save the baby, please just save the baby! Blaize slipped and lay unconscious. Her breathing was shallow but she was still alive. Just, by the skin of her teeth she was still alive. Just suffering from a little bit of heartbreak, that's all.
