Chapter 5 -

"Don't move!" The man yelled at them.
"What do you want?" Erskine asked him politely.
"Oh, um I was sent here by this guy wouldn't tell me his name. He wants me to tell you that he's still alive, and that he's going to kill you all and that this time he will win or something like that."
"What does this guy look like exactly?" Skulduggery asked the man.
He was tall and strong, not the kind of guy you wanted to be in a fight with, but he didn't sound too smart though.
"I'm the one with the gun you, I tell you what to do not the other way round." You could tell in his eyes that he was disappointed by the fact that everyone was so calm and didn't seem at all intimidated by him.
"Well" Skulduggery pointed out. "You do have a gun but I have one too." He said drawing his own gun from its holster.
The man, suddenly aware of the situation made a break for it. He was just about out of the door Valkyrie and Skulduggery on his heels when a woman leaped out from above the door.

"So we meet again Dar-… Valkyrie." Remnant Tanith said upon seeing them. "What a pleasant surprise."
"What are you doing here and what do you want? Don't tell me, you're working with that Tiffany chick aren't you?" she asked her trying to sound as hostile as possible.
"You kidding me, she is such a…. She's all gloom and doom and all, but I can see where she's coming from so we have decided to do the same thing. We like to stick out of each other's way. "
Just then Valkyrie noticed Dawn coming around the corner probably out looking for them.
"Valkyrie…Skulduggery. Where are you." Dawn was shouting down the corridor. Tanith with a quizzical look on her face.
"Valky-" she froze when she caught a glimpse of Tanith standing at the door way. The next few moments were a blur to her. She saw Dawn leap across the room towards Tanith and at contact rolled through the doors across the ground to the outside. They were apparently having hand to hand combat, fighting each other with their fists.
"Get out of her!" She heard Dawn screaming while choking her. Wait did Valkyrie hear that right.
"No I don't want to I like this body, and even if I wanted to I can't. Remember?"
this seemed to aggravate Dawn and when Remnant Tanith started running she gladly followed. Skulduggery and Valkyrie decided they should go as well. You never know what could happen. Tanith finally stopped running when she saw the salt water river, stream, whatever it was that was surrounding Roar haven ahead and froze.
"NO! Please, please don't do this. I'm you friend, Dawn." Tanith said starting to panic.
"Not anymore you're not." Dawn said calmly.
"You wouldn't dare" said Tanith dark veins beginning to show again through her skin. It was what Tanith, No that wasn't Tanith; it was what Remnant Tanith had said when Valkyrie finally figured out what she was going to do.
"No!" Valkyrie screamed, but it was already too late. Dawn grabbed Tanith and they both slammed into the stream Dawn sitting on top of Tanith. She was going to drown her. Valkyrie tried to get her off but was flung aside into a tree and couldn't move. No matter how hard she tried too save her friend she couldn't. Tear were now streaming down her face and she started sobbing, screaming begging her to release her friend but no matter what she did it didn't matter Tanith was going to die she thought, she was never going to hear her laugh, she her smile or ride with her on her motorbike ever again, and poor Ghastly. He had been trying non-stop, working harder longer days to try and find a way to get it out of her and now, now they would never see her again.

Skulduggery tried as well but ended up the same as her. Than when Tanith finally stopped struggling under the weight of Dawn it was all over.

Or so she thought.

Dawn hovered her out of the water as quickly as possible and started doing CPR. Was she seeing this correctly, she had just seen her murder Tanith and was now trying to save her life. This was getting way to weird but she wasn't dreaming. A few seconds later they fell from their positions, pinned to the tree and went to watch carefully as she tried to revive Tanith and after another painful thirty seconds wondering if her friend might actually make it out alive.

Tanith sat up opening her eyes gasping for breath. Valkyrie leaped into her arms and they both knocked over laughing gleefully.

"Val? What happened?" Tanith asked her quietly. "Where am I?"
"Well you had a remnant in you for two years, and you're at the sanctuary." Valkyrie replied.
"Two years, but I thought that once it was inside of you for more than four days you could never get it out of you. How?" Valkyrie stood up and Dawn Came into view.
"I should have known. The famous Dawn Haze would come to my rescue." Tanith said to her.
"Yep that's me, saving people from remnants is how I live my life these days." She said with a huge grin on her face, the next moment they were hugging, laughing, crying. Tanith had never told her about Dawn, she wondered how she knew her.
"Wait, so this is like, mega confusing for me right now, How? When?"
"I'll tell you later Val, promise but you've got to tell me what I've missed out on I mean two years, two years. You've got to admit that's a long time."
"A long time indeed. Come on lets go inside where you can rest up."
So Valkyrie walked into the sanctuary, leading the others who seemed to by getting all kinds of looks from people who saw their earlier frenzy.

"Okay so in the last few years a lot has happened, um where to start, well- but she was cut off by someone.

"Tanith? Is that really you?"
