Chapter two! YAY! Um, I do not own Skulduggery Pleasant, or anyone else. I'm not a genius like Derek Landy. Please review!
"Tanith..." Ghastly Bespoke whispered. he shook her lightly. "Tanith. Tan-Tan. TANith. TANITH" Tanith sat up from Valkyrie's couch, screaming. She looked around, and gawked in horror.
"YOU. ." She stated. Valkyrie walked in, wearing a flowing black dress, and carrying a cake.
"Happy Birthday!" She cheered. She set the cake in front of her. It was red velvet, with cream cheese icing. It said "Happy Birthday, Tanith!" Skulduggery sliced it, and lit the candles while they chorused a hearty song, Fletcher included. When it was done, Tanith blew out the candles.
They all dug into the cake.
Just as Tanith began to eat, Skulduggery snuck up behind her with a piece of cake, put his arm in front of her face, and squashed cake all over her face. She looked like a sunburned ghost. She shrieked and whipped around, chucking a half-eaten slice of cake into Skulduggery's eye sockets. He yelped, and dug his hand into the bowl of chips. He threw it at her.
And just like that, all broke loose.
3 hours later... and many interesting things...
"Ouch!" Valkyrie yelped, sitting on Kenspeckle's chair. Just a while ago, the food fight turned to the worse. Tanith had gotten angry and began to shove. Ghastly had left half an hour earlier, and it was just Val, Skul, and Tanith. Tanith shoved Valkyrie over a glass table, and she fell on it, shattering it.
Valkyrie spat out a bloody piece of glass, and drew back a fireball. She reeled back her arm, and sent it hurtling towards Tanith. Skulduggery made it dissolve halfway through the air, and separated the two girls by blasting air at them. They both slammed into the wall.
"You girls need to quit it, and stop. ok Friends. how many times do I have to burn it through your thick skulls? Not enough, apparently. Now, go and-" Skulduggery was cut off. The ground in front of him had began rumbling. A familiar southerner had appeared.
"Well, you aint cease to surprise me, Bones. Now I'll just go over here..." Sanguine trailed off.
Skulduggery had his revolver pointed at him, and Tanith and Valkyrie were flanking him. Sanguine raised his hand, and a blast of shadows came out of a ring on his finger, and pushed Tanith and Skulduggery away. Another tendril reached out, and curled around Val's wrist and yanked her to the southerner. She cried out.
"Hey. Howdy do?" Sanguine asked. Val growled, and swung for a punch. Billy-Ray caught her wrist in mid-air, and bent it back, snapping her tendon. Val whimpered as tears sprung into her eyes. Billy-Ray turned her forward, with her arm pressed up to her back. A knife was to her throat.
"Skulduggery, my master had a proposal for you, either you listen to me, or the girl dies. Your own sweet- choice." Sanguine said. Skulduggery's gun wavered, then he dropped it. "Good." Sanguine crooned." Now just listen to me..."
Valkyrie zoned out, concentrating on the ring on his finger. Very so lightly, she moved it millimeter by millimeter off his hand. it took a while, but she eventually sent a blast of air at the knife, and it sent the ring flying. Val turned, and was just in time to see a shard of glass go into her stomach. She screeched, and somehow managed to digit out, before everything went dark.
Five minutes later...
"You could be out of this situation, you know..." Kenspeckle began. I groaned, hearing this beginning before.
