This chapter has some mystery to it. Well it's meant to. If you think who she's talking to is too obvious let me know but I hope I won't give it away. (I mean the 2nd person by the way)

Chapter 3: Midnight Conversation

That night Cynnamon snuck out of the mansion. It was around midnight and everyone was asleep. She was wearing a plain black dress that swept the floor as she walked. It had a corset and came off at her shoulders but started just under. The sleeves were long and draped down her wrists like an icicle in winter. It was beautiful and oddly, it didn't make her look stupid with her hair. If anything, it made her look even more beautiful than usual.

She walked casually along the path when she heard the footsteps. She turned and there he was. A young looking boy about her age with dark curly hair and dark eyes. He wore plain black trousers and a short sleeve black shirt. He smiled at her and then kissed her for he didn't need to use words around her nor did she around him.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you," she whispered.

They walked hand in hand to the park. In the park was a brick wall. Sitting on top of it was another girl. In the same dress as Cynnamon, only shorter at the knees, and she had a cloak with the hood up. When she saw them walking towards her she jumped off.

"Cynnamon," she said hugging her.

"Hey! How's it going?" Cynnamon replied

"It's OK. How's your dad?"

"He took my return better than I thought. It wasn't anything like what we were dreading."

"And Dusk?"

"He ran away when I ran into the shop. I totally forgot that it was dad's shop when I ran in, though. Just made up some story about hoping they'll protect me. But Dusk destroyed Skulduggery's car before running and now I have to pay for the damages,"

"That's what he does Cynn. I heard he loves that car,"

"Yes I know. He called it his baby," They all laughed for a minute. The boy spoke next.

"What about Skulduggery?" he asked. "Surely he found you suspicious?"

"No Skulduggery was just as understanding as dad. But I think that's only because of his new fiancé."

"Fiancé?" asked the girl.

"Yeah. You've both heard of Valkyrie Cain right?"

"Yeah. She's marrying him? God she's only like 30! Even you're older than her Cynn,"

"We all are. Don't forget we were all in the war, which was like 3 centuries ago! She was only born 3 decades ago!"

"OK so they know you're not dead. But that's not going to keep Dusk away is it?" The boy asked.

"I know Ram but the only solution I have is going to him and we've all been told not to trust vampires. Look what happened with Dusk,"

"I know what's happened with Dusk, which is exactly why I'm not letting you go to him,"

"Ramil I think you're being a little bit dramatic. You're forgetting that he has helped us before. Look at me. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here," The other girl said.

"I know that. But I wouldn't want to risk it. Cynnamon is important to me and has been ever since I met her. And you know how close I was to dying that day in the village. I don't want to feel what she felt when I was missing for a few hours."

"How incredibly selfish of you. You should feel what we felt. I lost everything too you know."

"I know. I just feel that maybe too much of that hurt has been spread."

"Ok you two that's enough. Oh God you remind of that boy and his wife back at dad's." Cynnamon intervened.

"What boy?" the other girl asked.

"There was a boy that dad said was like a son to him. But Skulduggery hates him after he done some horrible stuff to Valkyrie. Which is a shame, a boy that cute doesn't seem to be the type to harm someone like that."

"Cute boy?" the boy asked

"Don't worry Ram. You are still the only one for me. But I know why he's cute, it runs in the family."

"Huh?"

"Ramil his name is Renn as well. He must be like your great- great- great- great- great grandson or something."

"He is. A Renn?"

"Yeah. Looks like Chris must have survived as well and carried on the Renn family."

"Ah my son. I'm glad he got away from the war."

"Yes but from what I heard Skulduggery and dad saying Fletcher's the only one who knows about his powers. The rest of the family forgot about it all."

"You know I think that Ramil should meet him," the other girl said.

"Um... why?" Cynnamon asked

"Why not? I think you should show your dad that you're happy. That Ramil never really died in that explosion because he managed to get away."

"Alright then. But you have to come back too,"

"I don't think so."

"Why not?"

"Because they all saw me die. If I come back, they'll interrogate me and probably lock me up. And I actually like being a free woman."

"Could you at least think about it?"

"Nope,"

"Please?" Cynnamon begged. The girl sighed.

"Alright I'll think about it. But that doesn't mean I'm going to agree,"

"And on that note I've got to go ladies," Ramil said.

"OK. Ramil teleport me back to Valkyrie's?" Cynnamon asked. Ramil held out his hand and she took it.

"Bye Cynnamon, Ramil. Meet again next week?"

"Yes and you better agree to coming back from the dead," Cynnamon said before she and Ramil disappeared.

"How can I ever go back? I won't belong in their world anymore." She said quietly to herself.

OK I get it. It's crap but im trying. If it was too obvious who the girl was let me know and I'll try and make it less obvious but I might leave it
