The haunted theme park
Chapter 6
"You okay?" Valkyrie walked to join China outside of the tent.
"No." Valkyrie realised there were tears running down her friends face. "How are we going to get out of here? We can't defeat Serpine, He'll destroy us first."
"China."
"Yes" China faced Valkyrie.
"Have met Serpine before? You talk as if you know him in person not just someone who's read books about him."
Shall I tell her? China thought. No. She didn't need to know. Yet. "Of course I haven't met him Valkyrie and if I did I wouldn't be here with you." China had stopped crying.
"Well let's go."
"Which way shall we go?"
"You choose"
"That way" China pointed behind her. So they walked in that direction and then China stopped.
"What is it?" Valkyrie asked.
"What you said, in the tent is it true?" China asked.
"About Skulduggery?"
China just nodded.
"Well." Valkyrie started, "Don't tell him about this because I think he would actually kill me."
"Well?"
"Before he left I heard him and Ghastly talking obviously they didn't know I was there. Ghastly was saying how annoying you could be at times and Skulduggery backed you up."
"So?"
"You know Ghastly he spots nearly everything and he spotted the way Skulduggery spoke about you and asked Skulduggery if he had any feelings for you…"
"And?" He doesn't know about what I'd done. Thanks to me his family are dead. China thought.
"And that's when he shouted to me to tell me it was time to go." Valkyrie said "Anyway we should start looking for the pendants. Hang on what's that?"
"Music: Circus music." China said with a smile on her face.
"Come on!" Valkyrie started running, China close behind, towards a purple and green tent bigger than the Dora-Bella's tent. Above the entrance was a huge sign reading `THE CIRCUS' .
