Hello friends.
I know some of you will be waiting for another chapter of Mark of Athena but that will have to wait.
This story is about Tanith Low and her apprentice Twilight Queen. It's never mentioned in Skullduggery Pleasant what Tanith does before she meets him and Valkyrie.
I will add more chapters because this was short.
I'm also trying to work on a Harry Potter fanfic.
Tanith Low was jumping from rooftop to rooftop in a London city night, slower than usual.
The reason for her inadequate jumping was the person behind her. Twilight was her name, Twilight Queen, or at least, that was the name she had taken. Twilight spiraled after Tanith, her sticky hands lodging onto the building sides and heaving herself over, flipping as she did so.
Tanith waited patiently for the girl, ever so slightly wondering why she had taken the young girl under her wing.
Twilight was an Adept and the London sanctuary came across her when she clumsily fell off the side of a building when she was 13 and was stuck on the edge clinging on, not quite understanding what was going on. The fact was, Twilight was rather like a clumsy, annoying, female version of Spiderman (without the webs flying from her hands).
The London sanctuary thought Tanith was the best person to train her. Tanith. Tanith was no teacher, nor was she any part of the London sanctuary or ever wanted to be. Never the less, Tanith was forced to train the girl and Tanith did not like being slowed down.
Going on ahead of Twilight because she was bored, Tanith flipped and worked out until she heard the scream. Cursing, Tanith turned around to be met with a fist to the face.
She stumbled back and grabbed her sword, unsheathing it from it's scabbard around her hip.
Now, recovered from the punch, she turned to her attacker.
His ugly, mangled face was grinning and she looked beyond him to Twilight, crumpled on the ground of the building next to hers.
She turned back to Springheeled Jack and elbowed him with her sword arm, straight in the jaw.
His eyes rolled to the back of his head and he was dazed, she didn't miss her chance and she punched him, right between the eyes. She continued her attack on him until he was knocked out and hurdled over to Twilight's unconscious form. Jack had clearly kicked her in the back of the head without her hearing him behind her.
There was a gash spouting blood from her head and Tanith was torn.
Usually what she would do, would be to take the crook to a cell in the London Sanctuary and lock him up. However now she had Twilight and she obviously needed medical attention.
Cursing and not knowing what the Sanctuary would want her to do, she gathered Twilight's slender body in her arms and bounded back the way they'd come.
