Disclaimer: I don't own Skulduggery Pleasant... but I wish I did.
Lessie Chapter 4
"Urghh" Wow my head kills!
"Hello? Is anyone there? Mr and Mrs Edgley? Rod? Jack?" I go through the names in my list that I remember last.
Why can't I see anything! I think I've gone blind! No, wait, I haven't happily. I can just see a faint, but bright light. Oh no! Don't go towards the light Lessie! Don't! But it's sooo pretty. I have to..touch it.
"Ouch! That hurt!" I say when I touch it.
I kick out blindly, cause I still feel blind, to try and get rid of the pretty light. I haven't kicked anything yet, but my sight is now, slowly, starting to return and my head has stopped throbbing. Hang on..what is that shade to my left? I kick out my legs towards my left and finally hit something!
"YOU LITTLE BRAT! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY SHED?"
I look, dazed, towards the place where the voice comes from, when I get a slap in the face! I finally get my sight back, because of the slap, and I see a REALLY ugly and scratched face right in front of my face.
"It's Lessie, Tanith. This is the person Skulduggery and Valkyrie are after. " I see and hear the voice from the person in front of me ,and I suddenly realise what happened to me.
Pleasant and Cain must have gone and locked me in a random shed, tying me up so they could come back for me later, but not realising that Ghastly Bespoke and Tanith Low own this shed. Geeze... These guys really need to talk to each other. They are so stupid.
"Ghastly, do you think Skulduggery and Val with be angry if we don't give Lessie to them?" I hear Low say.
Before I can hear Bespoke's reply, I hear Rod running towards us with Georgie by his side both screaming wildly. Then they come into my sight and I see they're both using elemental magic. They finally get to us and Rod and Georgie actually knock Low and Bespoke down so that they don't get back up.
"Who are you, and why haven't I heard of you yet?" Bespoke asks Rod and Georgie weakly as Low passes out.
"My name in Nate and this is Georgie" Rod replies before Bespoke passes out.
"So you chose a magical name? Nate is a good name for you. It just sounds...right" I comment as Georgie and Rod finishes untying me.
"Yeh. I hated the name Rod because it sounded like a gay name, so I've changed it permanently in the magical world and out." Rod..I mean Nate..replied.
"Georgie, shouldn't you change your name aswell?" I ask Georgie as she ties Bespoke and Low to pole.
"Okay...I'll change it to Blair, but I wanna keep my normal name as much as possible please. And only magical people that I hate can call me Blair" Georgie replies smugly.
As Georgie and Nate talk to each other, I take in how they look. Georgie has changed from her normal clothes, and into bright pink. She is seriously wearing everything. Her clothes are basically the same as Cain's (tank top, three quarter jacket, long pants and boots), but all in bright pink. It's as though she's Cain identical twin, except in pink! Nate is wearing exactly what Pleasant always wears(striped suit), even with the wig, hat and scarf! It's awesome because it's making of Pleasant and Cain and everything they look like.
"Hey Lessie...you didn't think just rope would hold us and keep us from calling Skulduggery and Val did you?"
I turn slowly around, suddenly aware that I can't hear Nate or Georgie talking. I look towards where Low and Bespoke were, and see Nate and Georgie tied there instead. So I turn towards where Nate and Georgie were, and find Bespoke and Low standing there, smirking at me.
"Wow. Your friends are really smart. You gonna be as smart as them?"
"Go to hell"
I push air towards them so hard they get knocked back against the wall. I turn and go to untie Nate and Georgie, when I instead go flying towards them as Bespoke and Low push the air at me. I hit the pole..hard, and see that Nate and Georgie have already untied themselves and are halfway out of the shed.
I shoot a fireball at Low and Bespoke as they sneak up behind Nate, and it hits Bespoke. Damn..he's not catching on fire because of the stupid clothes he's wearing, so they both turn on me and come towards me slowly, smirking at me again.
"Looks like your friends have deserted you. Look who's in trouble now" Low says rudely as Nate and Georgie run away from the shed and into the distance.
I bring out a long sword, specially made for me, and fight Low and Bespoke...by myself.
I swerve to the left as Low thrusts her side towards my stomach. It goes right through where my stomach was and goes further. Her arm is right in front of me so I swipe the side of her arm, and as she takes her arm back it gets longer. Bespoke throws a punch at my back, I duck underneath him and kick him up and back. I jump up and lunge at Low impulsively, and she is expecting it so she swipes her sword across my chest. Bespoke is back, and is about the push the air at me, when guess who turns up.
"Leave her to me. I wanna finish her off."
I turn quickly and smoothly to find Cain standing at the door of the shed, with Pleasant in the car behind her, growling at me. Low passes her the sword she was using, but luckily Cain is really bad with a sword. In fact, she can hardly even use magic. She's so pathetic!
Cain lunges at me with the sword in hand and tries to plunge it into my chest. But she has no experience, so I parry her easily. She goes for the easy prey, but I dodge out of the way, cutting her leg. She's not light on her feet and she doesn't know how to defend herself, so I thrust, lunge and swipe her until she's on her knees.
When I think she's finally down she jumps up, painfully, and grabs her and my sword. Then she motions to use her fists. I only then notice Pleasant standing on the sideline, watching with concern at me. I think about that later.
She goes to punch me in the head, but forgets I'm only 8, misjudges my height, and misses by a mile. I lay a punch in her gut, making her double over in pain, then knee her stomach again. She's bent all the way over now, so ram my elbow into the back of her head. She falls down, face forward, onto the dusty floor, then I go to pick up my sword. It's not there, but when I look around I see that Pleasant is holding it.
He comes walks over to me, smoothly, and gives me my sword and Low's sword. Then walks back to his Bentley smugly. Low and Bespoke both looks at him, shocked, but then realise that Cain is lying on the floor dying. They rush to Cain and take her to the Bentley. As I watch, Pleasant looks reluctant to let Cain in his car. I'm not sure whether it's because he might not like her, or because he doesn't want his car messy.
He smiles at me, I think, then gets into his Bentley and drives away with Bespoke, Low and sadly Cain in it. When I can't see the Bentley anymore, guess who decides to turn up, Nate and Georgie. But I'm still thinking about Pleasant and how he seems to like me. Maybe I've gained an important ally?
But of course, I can never think for long because guess who is now running towards us, again. Tayla is back with a huge gun and daggers, and firing both at Georgie and I. Then she runs up to Nate and makes out with him in front of me!
"I don't think that's what Monster wants to see," says a nicely familiar voice behind me.
"I'm back!" Jack says as he runs up to me and gives me a bear hug.
Huh..my life is going good for once.
