BACK FROM THE COMMA

GEPOV

Alison's body felt limp as she woke up in a dark room and a skylight that moon's light gives the room's it's features. Her arms and ankles her shackled to a wall. The chains were bound, even when Alison didn't know about magic she never felt this drained. A figure walked under the moon light. She was blond and limber.

"So, who are you?" The girl asked.

"Why?" Alison asked.

"You should fear me, I'm the Death Bringer." Melancholia said.

"OK? Hi…?" Alison didn't fear Melancholia and didn't know why.

"What's you're name." she demanded.

"Emera Riot, can I go now?"

Melancholia was confused, Why doesn't Valkyrie's sister fear me? she thought. She got bored answering these questions, she walked up to Alison and the shadows slithered around Alison. They squeezed her tight and she screamed loudly. Just what Melancholia wanted.

"Why am I here? Where are we?" Alison asked with her head slumped forward.

"I need you to bring your sister and her partner here, the Necromancer Temple."

Alison said nothing for the rest of Melancholia's presence.

"Very well.", Melancholia left the room, "Just don't kill her. Not yet." She said to some one in the dark. The person stayed behind the shadows and played with his razor.

"Remember me?" He said his a Texan drawl.

"You sound familiar, I heard you don't have eyes, can I see?"

Billy-Ray took off his sunglasses for Alison to see she grimaced at the sight.

"Dude, how can you see?"

"Eh, I don't care.", He whipped his razor and held it against her cheek, "Do ya' wanna know why I love this razor?", the razor's blade pierced her skin and was driven from the cheekbone to the side of her chin, "Because it's impossible to get rid of the scar."

Alison squealed at the pain. It happened to fast to even register it. The blood drizzled down her face and dripped onto her tee-shirt. A fresh tear rolled down her cheek.

"Ma' work 'err is done." With a smile on his face the ground ate him and disappeared. Alison sobbed once he left for a few lonely hours.

GEPOV

Valkyrie lunged at the floor by it was too late, she landed hard on the wood.

"Dammit, Skulduggery we have to find her!" Valkyrie cried. She looked behind herself and found Skulduggery already starting the car.

"Where do you think we should go?" Skulduggery asked. His phone rang and Vallyrie picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Valkyrie, where's Skulduggery?" Ravel said.

"Driving, what is it?"

"It's Melancholia, she escaped!…hello?" Valkyrie hung up after the news.

"Well, what is it?" Skulduggery asked.

"It's Melancholia, she escaped." Skulduggery took an instant turn making Valkyrie hit her head.

"Nice job, honey." She said sarcastically.

"Sorry."

"Where are we going?"

"Necromancer temple."

"They moved to one far north, it'll be dawn once we get there." Valkyrie grimaced at a thought, "What are they doing to her?" Skulduggery glanced at her than held her hand for a moment than switched gears.

Like Valkyrie said, they arrived at the new temple at the crack of dawn. She ran out of the car and was greeted be Craven who asked a question but she didn't respond. Skulduggery followed behind her to the dungeon. Tenbrea harshly greeted her. They barged into a small room where her sister dangled helplessly.

"Oh, crap are you OK?" Valkyrie asked as she caressed Alison's bloody face.

"Not really. There was a blond chick and that eyeless cowboy, he cut my face."

Melancholia and Sanguine. thought Valkyrie, "Um, that scar, will never heal. You're gonna have it forever."

"What?" Alison freaked out, "Can you get these off of me?".

"Working in it." Skulduggery muttered, "These are really strong, the bound is amazing almost impossible."

Craven and Tenebrae walked in behind them. They both were furious.

"What are you doing here." Tenebrae demanded.

"Why is Melancholia here?" Valkyrie asked.

"She isn't here." He insisted.

"I beg to differ." Melancholia said from behind the corner.

"M-Melancholia, you're back." Craven stammered.

"Yes, I am." She whipped out tendrils of shadows at them. Valkyrie countered with a beam of fire. Skulduggery finally broke the chains off and Alison bolted for the door than followed by Skulduggery and Valkyrie.

Melancholia restrained Tenebrae and Craven, "They're not worth it." She said.

Skulduggery reached the Coupe and the doors clicked. He stomped on the pedal and the accelerator roared to life. Making a clean get away.

"Now what?", Alison asked, "Do I need to see that creepy thing err…"

"I don't think so, here." Valkyrie said as she handed Alison some tissues for her cut.

"Thanks, who were they?" Valkyrie and Skulduggery took turns describing the whole event over the years to Alison. It took them hours.

"Oh, my god, that's horrible." she responded.

Bad ending… I know. I still have to write 2 more stories… it had to be done. Sorry! I HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO SPELL TENEBREA. So I did horrible spelling jobs…
