Okay, sorry it has been way too long since I last updated and this is a short chapter but my sister took the laptop after she just finished exams so I haven't gotten to a computer in a long while. I wanted to tell you guys that I would get back into a routine soon but you'll just have to wait a couple of weeks.
Here is a short chapter to keep you amused :P enjoy….
John almost had a heart attack when he saw Irene Adler walking up towards them but then Valkyrie started threatening her and for once he thought Irene was not pretty and for once she was not composed.
"So Valkyrie, you said you'd played this game to Ms Adler. What did you mean?" John saw an opening to find out more about her and he took it.
"Umm, there's this one woman, named China, and she is much more convincing and devious than Adler was. Not to mention the evil guys I have to deal with at least once every five years." She ranted. At first she was answering the question but she clearly got carried away. "The hardest opponent I've ever had was…"
She paused.
"Baron Vengeous was good, but Sanguine, no Dusk, wait I've got it… Melancholia she was crazy. WAIT!"
"What?" John asked completely shocked at her outburst.
"Definitely Mevolent. He was violent and crazy." She shook her head and shivered. "NO, it was Mr Bliss. His icy blue eyes and incredible strength was terrifying."
"So who was it again?" John frowned.
"Mr Bliss, John. Please keep up with the conversation." Sherlock interrupted from behind the wheel.
"So what was so scary or whatever about him?" John just ignored him and turned back to Valkyrie.
"He was the strongest man in the world. He was evil at one point but went good, he was impossible to kill and his eyes were terrifying. I once saw him get thrown through a brick wall; he just dusted himself off and got up." She explained.
"That's not really possible." Sherlock muttered.
"Believe me, it is." She said angrily. Silence fell in the car. "Are we nearly there yet?"
"I'm sorry Detective Cain but no." Sherlock told her.
Skulduggery ran through the big park hopefully in the direction of the vampire he was hunting. He stopped and listened. The whole wood was silent. He held up his hand, reading the air but felt no movement.
At first the interview was going well until he asked about the clock and suddenly the vampire had attacked him and ran off. It'd taken him completely by surprise but he would never tell Valkyrie that.
A growl came from behind him. He turned his gun flashing in the light before firing. The mockingbird fell down dead.
He tilted his head.
Something crashed into him from behind. He tumbled, brought his legs up under him and stood. His gun was gone but he summoned fire up. The vampire kicked out, he grunted and backed up cradling his side.
The vampire moved with unnatural speed and agility. It dodged around Skulduggery's every strike and kept kicking him and then retreating. He couldn't help but wonder if Dusk would lose a fight with this vampire.
It kicked out again and he grabbed his leg. He pulled the thing off balance, twisted the leg till it locked and then he kicked out.
The vampire screamed and fell to the ground, staring in horror and gasping at his broken leg, the bone sticking out of his skin.
Skulduggery rolled his shoulders and tried to banish his pang of guilt. He knelt down next to the vampire.
"Now, why'd you run away when I mentioned the clock?" Skulduggery asked.
"Because sorcerers have nothing to do with the thing." He growled angrily back and clutched at his leg. "It should have stayed buried. There's a reason there is no record of it!"
I'm so sorry this is a short chapter but I needed to update something so you don't think I've given up. The next chapter will be of normal length so no hitting or throwing of chairs :P
Please leave a nice review :D
