Sanguine's ideal fun
Sanguine sighed and plummeted into the ground. Alice was sulking in a corner, playing with the flame when he rose from it.
"Scars," He called her, "Get over 'ere".
Alice's flames died and small shadows interlaced her fingers, leaving them in the dark. "Why?" she asked.
"Bones and you sister wants' to see you." Having no eyes, Sanguine saw Alice leaping towards him and he caught her mid-air. "Nice try." He smiled and the ground ate them.
"I really hate you." Alice muttered and Sanguine laughed as they breached the surface.
Valkyrie stepped back where the tiles separated and the two rose. Sanguine dropped Alice on the ground. "There," He pointed at her, "She's fine". Alice started walking towards her sister but Sanguine wrapped her close and held the razor to her neck. "Up until now." He laughed and pressed the blade harder, Alice winced.
"Sanguine, let her go." Skulduggery demanded and flames started to grow.
He didn't say anything, just broadly grinned. Alice saw what was coming, a Cleaver sprinting with his scythe at hand. She started to squirm and managed a shriek that made Skulduggery look behind him.
"Shut up, and quit movin'" Sanguine whispered and his razor sliced a little of her flesh. Alice obeyed.
The Cleaver pounced high and brought up his scythe. Valkyrie and Skulduggery both dodged at either side and shot tendrils of fire at him. The Cleaver's uniform deflected the burns and he sliced towards Valkyrie, which she barely missed. Skulduggery kneeled down and pressed against the tiles. They started separating and the Cleaver fell through a crack, than Skulduggery sealed it.
"Now, Sanguine. Give her back."
He evilly smirked and sank into the ground, leaving Alice. Valkyrie ran to her and looked at Sanguine's slice.
"Oh, lord. Are you OK?" She asked.
"I really, really hate him." Alice breathed and held her sleeve to her neck, "Next time I see him, I'm gonna kick in in the b-" Valkyrie shrieked as Sanguine took her into the ground. "Damn it." Alice murmured. Shadows slithered in her hands as Skulduggery kneeled again. "What are you doing now?" Alice asked.
No reply. His hands shifted on the tiles until he started tapping at it. "There."
"What?"
"Sanguine and Valkyrie are right below here."
"Isn't that where you put the Cleaver?"
"Damn." He huffed and the tiles separated again, "C'mon." He opened a tunnel that lead straight down. He sat at the edged, "Hurry." he urged and went in.
Alice shrugged and did the same. The tunnel went from a vertical plummet to a slope. There was no light when she landed on her feet. "Skulduggery?" She whispered and stalked against the wall, arms out, until she felt framed structure.
"Can I help you?" Skulduggery softly teased. Alice stopped and put her at her sides.
"Sorry," she whispered, "I can't see a thing."
"But I can." He grabbed her sleeve and started running, guiding her through. They ran for a few minutes and slowly stopped and the walls light up with orange flames. Valkyrie ran into Skulduggery and mumbled, "oomph".
"What happened?" He asked.
"Th-the Cleaver is chasing me." She panted, "We have to go, like, right now." Quick foot steps were coming louder and her flame died, Skulduggery took lead and pulled Valkyrie, who pulled Alice. They got back to the tunnel and started to climb, Skulduggery was front, then Valkyrie and Alice. She grabbed Alice's wrist and ground started to close bellow them and they went faster to the top. At the surface, the ground sealed lastly.
Sanguine joined them about ten yards away. "Shit," He gritted through his teeth and disappeared, then, reappeared in front of them. Alice's lips twisted to snarl and she kneed him in his inner thighs. He gasped and hissed, "Holy shit." and he disappeared once again. Alice smiled in victory.
The title has really nothing to do with this chapter, but it will later… If you read my other Fanfic's (the case against Gale Maladroit) latest chapter than ignore the further notes. I have a new story idea involving the demon barber of Fleet street, yes, Sweeney Todd. I'm am momentarily obsessed with him, drawing, you tube clip-show making ect, etc. it's a drabble thing, Sweeney's killing random people that I need you, yes you to request. Each chapter will be some one new and (hopefully) a new way to make neck to razor… please request! And I mean anybody. Anybody!
