Donald, Thankyou for these BRILLIANT detectives. Oh and i know how much ye all been lookin' forward to thiss...
Is been SIX MONTHS since i have heard a word from Skulduggery and Natalie. Ever since that dinner at Osbourne House, He never called me, Never visited my house, Never even asked about me. Its like he had put me in the shadows and good thing to.
Alot has happened in the past few months. Tanith and Emma got attacked by something and they don't know what it is. They came staggering into the Sanctuary, Covered head to toe in their own blood. With no memory of what happened. And its my job to find out what did it.
I have been tracking the person down for 3 months, Finding out that they had lived along 3 Greens Road. We raided the place, Only to find a bed, Chains and a hairbrush with ginger hair knotted into it. My suspicions had arose to a familiar person, But they were confermed when i came across a photo and bags to contain blood. Natalie had attacked my friends, However, When i took the hair into the Sanctuary for confermation of the suspect, It turns out it was her but she had gone by a different name. Her true name was Elizabeth Victoria Bloodmoon, Who was wanted for major damage to four Sanctuarys and countless attacks of Mortals. She had been on the run for 2 years and it turns out, I have found her. And i am going to arrest her.
Careless that its her Wedding Day.
Myself, Deadman Chicken, Catriona Peyton and around twenty cleavers walked up to the church.
Deadman was wearing a black suit jacket with a red tie, Polished black shoes and black jeans with a fist on fire logo. He had deap blue eyes and refined features. He was slim and tall with dark hair brushed off his face and dark sunglasses placed on his head. He was a highly trained adept with a few neormancer tricks up his sleave in the figure of a gun.
Catriona wore a protective red jumper with the same logo and black protective trousers. Big biker boots covered her feet and her hand was placed on a Nina sword that was another little neormancer trick. She was fast and quick and one to rely on.
"Ya'know," Deadman said. His English accent strong. "We're about to crash a weddin'..."
I looked back at him. "Sure we are"
"You purpously wanted to do it today, Didn't you?" Catriona said with a playful smile.
"Yep"
"They say she is gettin' married to Skulduggery Pleasant." Deadman pointed out.
"That she is." I said. Letting my voice change at me hearing his name.
"You...Don't like him anymore?" Catriona asked. Sounding shocked.
"Yeah"
"Why?"
I stopped to turn and glare at them full on. This was a situation that i did not need to be reminded of. "Doesn't matter. All we are here for is her, Nothin' else. Okay?"
"Fine" Deadman said. Holding up his hands.
I took a breath before talking. "Right, You Cleavers can burst through the side doors and line up against either walls at my signal. Deadman, You and Catriona jump down off the first floor viewing point with me. Whatever Mr Pleasant says to me, I want you to ignore it. He's been like it for damn well months."
Catriona nodded. "And if he decides to attack us?"
"You are granted permision to beat him senseless" I smirked.
"Thankyou"
"Lets get going." I said, The Cleavers got to the side doors and waited there, Me and the others climbed up the stone walls and i got in through a open window, Helping in the others. They stood there in the gloom and watched me, I put a finger to my lips showing that they had to be silent. I pointed down, Showing that she was at the alter with him. She was wearing a stunning gown and it hurt me to know that i was having to interupt this. But it was my job now, So it was tough. And Ravel had asked me to interupt this event and Ghastly had agreed saying that the whole thing was a bad idea.
I cupped my hands over my mouth, Letting out a loud, High pitched whistle. The Cleavers burst through both side doors, Swords out and they lined the walls, Not taking they're eyes off Natalie. WELL, Elizabeth.
I picked up a chair and sumersaulted off the viewing rail, Bringing the chair under me and i landed on it. Crossing my legs at the ancles and folding my arms. Deadman and Catriona landed in a crouch behind me, Gun and sword in hand. I looked strait at Skulduggery, Right in the eye as he glared at me.
"Don't mind me," I said. Waving my hand. "I'm only here to arrest someone. Otherwise i wouldn't have turned up to Lady Dracula's wedding"
"Who are you here to arrest Miss Cain?" Elizabeth asked.
I arched a eyebrow at her. "Why you ask?"
"Because i want to know." She snapped.
"I said why, Elizabeth"
Her eyes widdened.
"Elizabeth Victoria Bloodmoon. Your under arrest for attacks on four Sanctuary's around the globe, Attacks on Mortals and Attempted murder of Tanith Low and Emma Lightning. Anything you do say will be used as evedence, So shut the fuck up." I said. Taking handcuffs out of my pocket.
"Awh, My little Kiddo's playing detective" She smiled.
I stood. "I must say, 'Liz, That dress looks lovely" I walked slowly towards her.
"You say lovely things just before your about to arrest me, Infront of the man you love?"
"Yes. Right infront of him." I grinned.
"Revenge is a messy thing" She giggled.
"It is that" I nodded.
"Why today Valkyrie?" Skulduggery asked. "Couldn't you wait?"
"Special request"
His eyebrows furrowed. "By whom?"
"Why do you need to know?"
"It was Eskrine and Ghastly wasn't it?" He said, Nodding.
"Yes it was!" They both yelled as they stood. "I couldn't stand another miniute of this bull-shit!" Ghastly cursed.
"You lot are lovely friends, I tell you" He cursed at them.
"You know, You're cute when you're angry" I sniggered at Skulduggery as i cuffed Elizabeth. I shoved her infront of me, Grinning when she turned to glare at me.
"Thats cool, Your cute when you arrest the girl i was about to marry out of pure jealousy"
"Nah mate," I said. "I'm doing my job and all the requirements. With no feelings envolved what-so ever."
"Prove it" He smiled. Walking up to me so he loomed over me.
"I'll hurt you" I said. As i slipped the knife out of my sleeve. Thankful Skulduggery didn't notice.
I went to plunge it into his arm, But he grabbed my wrist. Holding it a few inches away from his shoulder. "Thats not very nice, Is it?"
I grinned and flashed out a gun in a millersecond. Holding it against his head. "I know what you'd do and i know how to react."
He flashed a grin back at me. His other hand closing around the wrist that held the gun. "You couldn't shoot me. However many times you have told yourself you don't love me, There is always a pit in the bottom of your heart saying you do."
"True" I nodded.
"Then why attempt it?"
"Cause you as much pain as you caused me" I smiled.
"Like Elizabeth said, Revenge is a messy thing" He said, Then he snatched the gun from my grip and placed it against my head and i had nothing to do but hold his wrist.
"You think you're the only one with pain? I had to watch you play around with boys, Watch you cheat, Watch you slip away. I went with her to get my mind off you"
"How sweet" I told him.
"Are those feelings you have growing?" He asked.
"Like me, They do whatever they want"
He let a grin form. "Then why try to kill me?"
I snached the gun from his grip and placed it in the place were his heart was. The silver chain attaching it to my belt glistened. "Because you always hurt me"
"I know i hurt you" He said. Snatching my knife from my grip and placing it against my neck.
"You promised you would never do such a thing." I said as i took hold of his tie, Threatening to pull it tight around his neck.
"I promised i would never physicly hurt you."
"Then why hurt me emotionaly? You know it hurts more."
"I didn't know i did, I tried to keep my feelings away from you."
"Is that so?"
"Yes. So what are we going to do now since you arrested my to-be wife and you're holding a gun against my head?" He smiled.
"How should i know?" I said. But there was twinkle in his eyes that said he was going to take control of this whole thing.
"What a waste of a perfectly good wedding, Valkyrie." Someone said. I turned to see Catriona and Deadman grinning at me.
"Excuse me?" I said, I looked at Skulduggery who was wearing a devilish smirk and a gleam to his eyes. "I don't even have a dress. So no." I said curtly and untangled myself from Skulduggery. I went to walk past the two detectives, But Catriona summoned a wall of shadows and Deadman had lightning crackling in his left hand.
"I'll make ye one, Love" Said a voice. I reconsized it was Emma and she wheeled herself in on a wheel-chair. Well, wheeled herself in means having rockets strapped to either wheel. She rotated her hand and white snow from no-where formed around me, Forming a long white dress that was simple and was fully sleaved. I looked down at myself as a diamond tiara formed on my head and looked back at Emma.
"You never said you could do that" I mumbled.
"I have a few tricks up me sleave, Now get married" She ordered and i turned to Skulduggery. Looking at him in the eye.
"I'll never trust you." I said.
"You never did" He grinned, Holding out a hand to me, I don't know why, But all the hate left me and i took that hand, Almost shaking as i got married to Skulduggery Pleasant. With Emma cheering like a madwoman in the background.
That be the end of the lovely story, I now have to come up with another one that will keep you on a cliff. Damn me for me and my friends being so GOOD. Damnnnn...
