Lost and found part 2
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT have created any of the character I'm using in my story (expect for Willow) and I do NOT own any of those characters either (expect Willow), they are property of Derek Landy.
Oh, by the way, Tanith is remnant free :).
Willow's POV
They put me to the Bentley's backseat without a word. I was handcuffed now but I didn't mind. I had managed to silence the detective. Cain was trying to get him speak but he had became deaf to all her words. Even I didn't know why he all the sudden had stiffened and stopped talking. But I didn't mind. I was free from investigation for a moment.
The skeleton turned Bentley to some alley and it was quite a same looking place than mine was. Or actually had been. Now that I thought about it I had to find a new place to stay. Those two detectives had wrecked my hideout to pieces. I hadn't actually know why I had to hide. Well, now I knew. They had made a mistake, ran after wrong person. The truth was...I wasn't sure at all, why he didn't let me free when he realized the mistake. And neither wasn't Cain. She looked amused.
It was that one day that I heard that one thing. According this...thing, they were looking for me. I was quite sure I hadn't done anything bad, but I had been working for the English sanctuary for a while and dealt with some seriously bad guys. I thought that maybe they wanted to know something 'bout then I heard a rumor. A rumor, that they weren't just looking for me. They were coming after me. I was wanted. For no reason, for a mistake. That's when my runaway started. And that led me to nothing more or less but sitting in the backseat of the famous skeleton detective Skulduggery Pleasant's Bentley.
Bentley turned again and then it stopped in front of Bespoke Tailors. They pulled me out of the Bentley and then dragged me inside the store. Tall, muscular man, who had scars all over his head sat in an armchair and leaned to a table, he was drawing. He got a little bit grumpy when he got interrupted but when he saw the detective and Cain, his face softened a bit and he smiled a little.
"Skul, Val" nodded the man. "Hi Ghastly" Cain replied and gave him a quick hug. The man called Ghastly looked at me and then at the skeleton and asked "Who is she, Skul?" The detective- Oh hell, I should probably start to call them by their first names, 'cause I now know those I thought.
"She is a surprise." Skulduggery said. "For who?" Valkyrie asked, relieved when he spoke again. "For miss Low." Skulduggery said and my heart skipped a beat or two. "She is upstairs, I'll get her." Ghastly said, frowned and walked off the room. I gasped for air 'cause I had forgot how to breath. Valkyrie noticed that, Skulduggery just stared at me.
Skulduggery took my handcuffs off and Valkyrie frowned "So what in name Tanith-" I shivered when she said the name. "-makes you go nuts?" I was so nervous I couldn't answer. I was trapped now. I wasn't handcuffed anymore so I grabbed my mask from Skul's hand and placed it back on my face. I felt myself naked 'cause I didn't have my swords with me anymore, as Skul had took them from me, but that wasn't important now.
Skul and Valkyrie both got tensed when I moved but I didn't try to runaway so they didn't make a move. I just casually jumped to the ceiling and tried to find some shadows to hide. I heard voices from the door knew it was too late to hide. So I was reasonable and got down to the floor so she wouldn't recognize me by my magic. I hid behind Valkyrie. She sighed.
Door opened and Ghastly got in with Tanith Low. My heart started racing like a mad dog. Tanith laughed to something Ghastly had just said and gave him a quick kiss before looking up to Skul. "So...Ghastly told me you have a surprise for me? What is it?" Tanith asked and smiled wide and amused.
Skulduggery grabbed my hand and pulled me in front of him. "I've found a certain person." Tanith looked at me her eyes showing her confusion. "She is the certain someone you've been looking for...for over two years." he continued, but Tanith needed no more words. Tanith came so close to me that I felt her breath move back and forth between my face and mask.
She took a grip of my mask and I didn't have the urge to resist. She gently took it off and I closed my eyes trying to stop tears from coming. I heard her gasp and opened my eyes just to see her eyes fill with tears. "Willow" she whimpered. "'ello big sis'" I said, feeling myself really small under my sister's glaze. Smaller than an ant.
