They moved under the darkness of night. Valkyrie held the gun she had chosen tightly as she moved down the narrow alley. Adrenaline pumped through her veins, making her barely able to stay still. Her palms were sweaty.
Vendetta stood beside her. The vampire's face was as emotionless as always, but there seemed to be something new in her stance. Dusk was on Vendetta's other side. He glanced at the younger vampire out of the corner of his eye. He had decided to go weapon-less.
Skulduggery slid up beside Valkyrie. He jerked his head slightly and Valkyrie nodded. The four moved silently to the buildings corner. Skulduggery peeked around and signaled to Ghastly, who was in the alleyway across the street. Sanguine, Ray-Roy and Ravel were with him.
Jack and his kids were on the roof tops while the Cleavers were stationed all over the area. Ravel nodded to Skulduggery and the Skeleton Detective led Valkyrie and the two vampires down the street to the six story building that was Frost's headquarters.
They reached the door, Sanguine and Ray-Roy took out the guards and Skulduggery kicked down the door.
"Cleavers!" Ravel yelled and the grey-clad soldiers leaped into the room. Their scythes glinted dully as they met with the enemy that rushed to meet them.
Valkyrie summoned fire in her hands and threw it at a person who was running at her. They stumbled away, batting at the flames. Dusk blurred as he went to work with another enemy who was wielding a knife. Ray-Roy and Sanguine were working together, switching opponents every once in a while. Gun shots rang in the air as the three monsters used the sniper guns from the roof tops.
Valkyrie sensed a shift in the air behind her and wheeled around kicking. Her heel connected with the person, sending them stumbling. She used the shadows to slash open his chest. He disappeared and someone else lunged at her.
They went down and Valkyrie bucked, throwing them so that she was on top. She dropped elbows as they tried to cover up. Hands threw her into a wall, knocking the wind out of her. Valkyrie hit the ground hard and rolled, getting kicked in the chest for her trouble. She forced herself up and power slapped them in the jaw. Their eyes rolled back into their head and they dropped like a rock.
Valkyrie saw Skulduggery firing rapidly into the enemy; Ghastly chucked a grenade, covering his ears as the explosion rang out. Valkyrie dove down as one of the opposition took out a machine hun and opened fire. Screams and cries filled the air while the smell of blood and sweat burned her nose. Valkyrie crawled on her belly a few feet out of the line of fire then pulled herself up.
A sword flashed in the edge of her vision and she barely had time to move out of the way before it could cut her in half. She dodged a second time then got in close, firing an elbow into their face. They dropped their weapon and she beat them back.
Sanguine stabbed someone who was about to shoot her and threw a gun to her. Valkyrie caught it and fired a couple times, trying not to kill anyone. A man jumped in front of her and she went to shoot him but she was out of bullets. He smashed into her before she could switch tactics; both of them crashed into a wall. The man rolled and she found herself pressed against the wall.
She reached over and grabbed a crowbar sitting on a crate. She smacked him in the back of the head, shoving him away at the same time. Someone else came at her and she sung the crowbar like a baseball bat, catching them in the side of the head.
Skulduggery ran up to her. "We have to find Ode now. Odds are he's here."
Valkyrie nodded and ran off to the nearest doorway, taking out a couple more people on the way. She reached an intersection and paused. Now where would Ode be hidden?
New voting time!
So I am conflicted and hopefully you guys can help. DO you think:
A. Dusk sees Caelan and Vendetta together and ends up beating up Caelan
B. Ray-Roy sees Caelan and Vendetta together and the two get into a fight
C. Ray-Roy and Dusk both see then together but at different times
Thanks guys!
Review! :)
