They walked into the sanctuary, having bought in the remaining members, they were the last ones to arrive. Ciel and Chasity sat down, Ciel opposite Skulduggery and Chasity next to Fletcher, who glared at Sebastian, who was standing beside the door with no attention on Fletcher at all, Octavia was standing with Sebastian and Ravel was sitting at the head of the table, mumbling and messing around with papers. 'Right, so. What did we ACTUALLY find out about this remnant case?' Skulduggery was the first to speak, 'well, me and Valkyrie went to find witnesses and all they gave us was the conformation that the people Octavia and the others caught we're the people to let the remnants loose.'
'And they're mortal, yes?'
'As far as we're concerned, yes.'
'Alright, Gladys, what did you find?'
Ghastly scowled in Ravel's direction, which got him a cheeky smile in return 'All we found was more evidence that pointed towards the gang. Their our most solid lead from here...'
'Right, Sebastian, Octavia. I trust you, well Octavia enough to deal and get the information that we need out of our suspects?'
Octavia smiled 'I don't think that will be a problem at all.'
Ravel nodded, 'alright then.'
After talking about the next moves, everyone walked out of the room, Valkyrie, Skulduggery, Tanith and Fletcher heading one way, Ravel and Ghastly going another, whilst the others headed to the gaol, where prisoners were being held. Octavia knew one thing for certain, and she knew Sebastian knew it too. The gang members we're not the ones pulling the strings, but the ones who were being controlled. They had a leader, and that leader wanted to stay hidden. Hidden so they couldn't find them. They were clever, she had to give them that. But not clever enough to get past her. No one was...
China Sorrows walked through her library, she had just recived news of happenings at an abandoned warehouse, something Skulduggery and the others had something to do with, no doubt. She walked into her apartment, her silk blue dress falling from her waist, showing the gracefulness as she walked. Her dark as sin hair falling over her face, framing the blue,peircing eyes, that made all who laid eyes on her fall in love. She walked in her room, where a group of six stood, three she recognised. And the third one was the one she was most scared of. Thoughts rushed through her head, she never thought her past would come creeping back up on her. Especially as she got rid of the first two many years ago. She hid the shock on her face, smiled her beautiful smile and said 'Skulduggey, Valkyrie, how nice to see you.' She turned to the others, wondering if she knew, but still not daring to look at her, 'and you lot are?..'
China was sitting on the sofa, with Skulduggery and Valkyrie. Chasity and the boy called Ciel, a earl. Sat on the two seated sofa, whilst their butlers, Octavia and Sebastian, stood behind them. She knew there was something about the four of them. All she had heard of when she destroyed the breaks on the Green's favourite Jajuar. She remembered checking the car over and over, and the mother and father were dead, for sure. But she forgot about the stupid girl, the perfect and perdantic, Chasity Green. And China knew that if Chastiy knew the truth, then she surely come after her for revenge. But the question was, when would she do it, and how?
Chasity, Octavia, Ciel, Sebastian and China watched as Skulduggery and Valkyrie walked out of her apartment, through the library and out. Skulduggery had recived a call from Ravel, with some urgent news. He wanted everyone to be there but Chasity claimed she had some books to look for. And Ciel refused to go back to the Sanctuary without Octavia and Chasity. He didn't trust the others.
China closed her apartment door and turned to the other four. She didn't know three of them, therefore, she didn't trust them. She didn't know the strength or power of each of them, so she decided a fight would be a bad idea. She'd stay, and listen to what Chasity needed to say, and act accordingly. She couldn't take any risks, not when she didn't know her enemies. She turned and walked towards her chair 'so, I assume that you know, Miss Green?'
Chasity scoffed 'know that you killed my parents. I don't know why, but I know you were the one to do it.'
'Well, I think you are still too young to know why, but I will tell you when the time comes...'
'You. Killed. My. Parents. And. Try. To. Tell. Me. What. To. Do?'
China sighed 'you have your fathers arrogance. We were once in love, do you know that?'
'SHUT UP! SHUT THE HELL UP! OCTAVIA, I WANT YOU TO SHUT HER UP!'
Yes, mistress.' Octavia commented, stepping towards China 'Don't kill her, knock her unconcious, meet me at the car...' Were Chastity's last words before walking out the door, Ciel following. Octavia looked to see Sebastian standing there. 'You seem amused?' Octavia asked 'I know what the pair of you are capable of, I want to see how this goes down...'
China glared at Octavia, and sighed 'I wonder, why I'm this sort of person, but then again, everyone loves me and I'm amazing.'
'I don't think so. You force people to love you, because no one ever truly will and you just haven't met someone as amazing as me. All you other apponents are weak.'
'Well, I have to say your mistress' father would disagree!' China let out a mocking laugh, and tapped the symboly on her forearms.
'So how comes my mistress' father didn't end up with you? How comes he went for the recently deceased Mrs Green?'
'You wouldn't understand, your just a butler...'
Octavia looked back at her with her taunting purple eyes, ' actually, I am one HELL of a butler. So let's get this over with. My mistress will miss her dinner...'
