Chapter 2: the scream

Valkyrie gasped from the sudden pain surging through her and went limp on the cold floor. Her vision was going blurry. She needed to snap out of this, she needed to get to Skulduggery but the pain was unbearable. It was getting worse; she was going to scream. She could feel the blood being sucked out of her and she had no control over it. Then suddenly her phone went off. The Vampire stopped and looked down to where the noise was coming from. He got off her and looked around. Valkyrie looked up and saw her blood dripping from the vampire's deathly teeth. She felt so weak. She needed Skulduggery, now.

The sound from her phone had a strange effect on the vampire and he seemed to not really like it. He covered his ears with his hands and let out a bloodcurdling scream. He ran down the street followed by the other two vampires, leaving Valkyrie to suffer on the cold floor. Valkyrie grabbed her phone out of her pocket and answered it.

"Hello?"

"It's me are you okay?"

"No I've been bitten Skulduggery, and it really hurts. It's burning inside me please help me." Valkyrie's voice was nothing more than a harsh whisper now.

"Valkyrie, I would but I don't know were you are"

"Neither do I. Skulduggery it really hurts."

"I know Valkyrie but you've got to concentrate, come on where are you?"

"I don't know, err, well, If you keep walking down the street to your, erm, left I'm at the end of the road. I think"

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute Valkyrie, stay with me."

Valkyrie moaned and put the phone the down. Her head was pounding and her vision was going again. It felt like poison running through her veins, slowly burning away her ability to stay awake, to stay with Skulduggery.

Come on, she thought, just stay awake. Skulduggery will get you to help, you'll be fine. This has happened to you before, pull yourself together! Albeit, he spat you back out after about a minute...

She saw Skulduggery running towards her and he called her name. He knelt next to her and put his hand on her neck, she flinched.

"Owww"

He shushed her and she let out a scream as he touched her neck again.

"What happened Valkyrie?"

"What do you think?" Valkyrie moaned again and began loosing all sense of feeling.

"Oh Valkyrie, what am I ever going to do with you?" Skulduggery asked.

"Well you could start by getting us out of here." She replied

"Yes that would be good I suppose."

"Err Skulduggery? I can't feel anything. Is that a bad thing?"

"What do you think?"

Then everything went Black...

"Valkyrie? You still with us?"

With no reply coming from the unconscious Valkyrie in his arms he cursed.

"This is just one endless night isn't it?" Skulduggery said to himself softly.

He carried the knocked out Valkyrie back up the long street, careful not to meet anymore vampires for the evening. Skulduggery spotted the Bentley up the road and quickly made his way towards it. He carefully placed Valkyrie along the back seat, covering her with his jacket. His jumped in the front, put the key in the ignition, car into gear and sped off towards the Hiberian cinema.
