Chapter 7, hope you like my story.

DISCLAIMER: The only characters I own are Ransom East, Blood Rose, Harold Dagger and Lily Valley. The rest are Derek Landy's :(

Lily carefully opened her eyes. Her head felt like it was on fire and her arm ached every time she moved it.

"That's funny," Lily muttered to herself. "I don't remember hurting my arm..."

She looked around the cold, dark room. She hadn't been tied to anything, and the room seemed alright. There was one comfy-looking chair and a wooden bench. Lily tried the door. Locked. The grey stone wall was very sturdy and cold to the touch. The room had to be bound though. They couldn't give her a chance to escape. Unless...unless they wanted her to...

At this moment the door opened with a small creak. The Necromancer, Blood Rose walked in, smirking.

"I bet you're wondering why we brought you here."

"Yes, I am actually. Are you just crazy, or is there an ACTUAL reason?" Lily said, staring Rose straight in the eye.

"There is a reason. We want that abomination of a detective and his assistant. They may be...useful. I know that they will come after you once they have found out who has you."

Lily started to run towards the Necromancer but her movements were hampered by something. She looked down at her outfit. A full-length, strapless dress. It was dark blue, shot with black thread. It was beautiful but very heavy.

"Yes, we noticed that your outfit was protective material. This isn't. It should also be heavy enough to stop you from running off. Anyway, apparently we have to give you food and water. I don't agree but it isn't my call, according to East. So, here" Said Rose, dumping a tray on the ground. She stalked out of the door, closing and locking it behind her.

Lily sat on the ground, smoothing out the dress. She didn't like dresses. If there was a choice between a dress and jeans and a t-shirt, it would be the jeans every time. Dresses just weren't comfortable for a sorcerer. Luckily, Lily was still wearing the same shoes though. That was where she had stored her phone, because it would have fallen out of her pockets during one of these fights. Silently, Lily took it out and phoned Tanith, who eventually picked up.

"Lily? Where are you?! Fletcher said he had you but you weren't there when you had gotten to us. What happened?!"

"Tanith, calm down. I'm fine. Just a few cuts. I have no idea, but I think I got kidnapped. Don't worry about me though. I'll get out of it. I always do." Lily whispered.

"Lily, do you know where you are? What it looks like? Is there a window?" Tanith asked frantically.

"Erm, yeah there is. One sec," Lily replied, walking over to a window that she hadn't seen before. "It's countryside, and what looks like a village. I think I can see...the Bentley? You're not that far away then because I can see a motorbike next to it. This building is stone. I think it's quite big. I'd say it is to the west of you."

"Alright then, we'll be there in a minute."

"Wait, these crazy people want Valkyrie and Skulduggery. One is a Necromancer and the other can force you to like fall unconscious and stuff. I don't think he can force you to kill yourself though...Just-just be careful." She sighed and disconnected the call.

Tanith looked at her phone and then at her friends.

"Lily got kidnapped by some crazy criminals. A Necromancer and a strange mind controller. She's in a weird stone building to the west of us apparently. Not very far away though."

Valkyrie immediately walked over to Tanith. "We'd better save her then. Did she say anything else?"

"Well she did say that these crazy bad guys wanted you and Skulduggery. She didn't say why though." Tanith sighed.

There was a silence for a minute.

"Well...Let's go rescue her then." Skulduggery said.

Ghastly just shrugged and Fletcher nodded in agreement. They immediately set off west.

Lily wandered around her room, wondering how to get out of this situation. Little did she know that this situation was being sorted out just this minute.

Yes, rubbish ending :D I didn't know how to finish it :P Hope it was okay anyway. Please review!
