*~V.S~*

Regan could feel the power draining out of him, almost like there was a massive straw injected into him and some being was sucking out the magical blood from him. He'd heard people talk about this feeling before, it was death. He was dying.

Small sparks began to fly off him, blue at first then red, his vision was slowly fading. He could see everyone around him rushing about attempting to extinguish the fire he had created.

The Skeleton detective Skulduggery had conjured balls of water and was hurtling them towards the tree line, he saw his own daughter and son do the same.

The Cain girl was also sending out waves of water. He knew that power. It was the ability to harness the moisture in the air, harness it and use it to one's advantage. He'd down that, he'd controlled fire, he'd been the ultimate controller of fire, and fire was his- for lack of a better term friend- but then again all friends at one point become enemies. He'd seen that, the China woman was proof. So where his wives and children.

Not all plans can succeed. He was ready though, ready to welcome death. Ready to let go, god was he ready he'd seen enough of this planet to last him a life time. He'd lived it for the last three hundred or so years.

His vision was decreasing further, though it seemed his hearing was improving rapidly. He could hear voices, calling him. At least that's what it sounded like. The voices were calling, some male, some female, small children, elderly people, calling. His vision went white, and then shady figures began to appear. Arms out stretched, the people. The one's head tried to convert but had failed miserably with.

They were the ones calling him now, reaching out and welcoming him to hell.

Regan's body collapsed, as the life left it. The twins stopped there chanting and looked towards the lake.

There their mother's sister still was, hovering just above the water's surface.

"You said you needed a sacrifice" Vanity called. Upon hearing this Caelan immediately stiffened and stepped to grip her arm.

"Don't worry, I'm not going." She whispered into his ear.

"You can take him as the sacrifice." She gestured to Regan's lifeless body.

Sabrina cocked her head to the left as though weighing up the value of this sacrifice. Seeming satisfied she nodded.

She lifted her hand and a stream of water rose and started making its way towards the bank. It wrapped it's self around the prone body before dragging it back to the water's edge and deep down below its shimmering surface.

"Thank you dear." She said to vanity and vintage. "Do the two of you need any other assistance?" she asked politely.

"Well, if you wouldn't mind, it'd be much appreciated if you could put out the fire." Vintage said stepping forwards slightly.

"Why but of course, it's the least I could do." Sabrina then lifted both of her hands to the air and the water rose up around her. "You may want to tell everyone to get out of the way."

Vanity nodded. "Mr Pleasant, Valkyrie!" she shouted. The both of them turned to face her fire blazing behind them. "Move to the left." She yelled gesturing with her arms.

The two of them nodded and instructed everyone to move to the side.

Once the area was clear Sabrina brought her arms forwards, the water rushed after them, forming a wave which came crashing down onto of the lit trees, dousing the flames and then receding.

"Thank you" the twins said, smiling at their aunt. She smiled back and waved before sinking back down below the water.

"Well, that was easy." Skulduggery said. "We can all go home now." The twins nodded.

"Thank you for your services Detective Pleasant. We are forever indebted to you; we won't take up anymore of your time so we shall be going now."

Skulduggery nodded. Valkyrie stepped forwards to hug each one of them individually and so did Fletcher. The twins then turned towards Caelan and Darien. Each held out a hand for the boys to take.

"Come on, let's finally go home." Vintage said sighing and resting her head on Darien's shoulder. He nodded as the four of them walked off towards the road.

Skulduggery turned to say to Alicia crows, but as mysteriously as she had appeared she was gone already.

"Ahh well that leaves just the three of us now. I suggest we head home as well." He stated. Valkyrie murmured in agreement.

"Fletch, take us to the Bentley." She said grabbing Skulduggery's sleeve and Fletcher's hand, and with a pop they were gone.
