The rescue pt 2

They walked to Rife's Mini and he sighed. "Can you shadow walk us?" he asked.

"Uh, fine, but I don't think I can go that far."

"Well, then we need someone else to quickly transport us." Rife hinted.

She crossed her arms and surrendered, "OK, fine I'll call him." she dug out her phone and punched in the numbers. "Yeah, Fletcher?"

"Val?"

"Yes, it's me… we really need you."

"Be right there." in a few seconds Fletcher was right beside her, "Where to?"

"Necromancer Temple." Rife answered and he nodded and teleported in front of the doors.

"If I call or text you, you know where to meet." Valkyrie crossed her arms to Rife, "Why here?"

"Why not?" he walked through doors and they followed, except for Fletcher.

"Ms. Cain," Wreath greeted, "What a surprise."

"Where's Tenebrae?" she asked coldly.

"Uh, let me get him." he strolled off and a few minutes later High Priest Auron Tenebrae walked into the scene.

"Cain, how can I help you?" he asked.

"Where's Vendetta Dare?"

His tone changed, "Why?"

"We want to know why she's here."

"There's something big coming, that's why."

"That doesn't answer my question… spill it."

"We need her to protect the Temple in the future."

"Protect?" She frowned hard, "From what?"

"Two very destructive beings." He answered and shifted his sleeve.

Valkyrie ignored his comment. "Well…" she flicked her wrist in Tanith's direction, signaling her. "Well, uh, we are j-" Tanith snuck behind Tenebrae. Her rapier to his neck. "We'll be right back." Valkyrie dragged Rife's wrist and they sprinted through corridors.

Vendetta heard fast-pace footsteps and banged her door and called for help.

Valkyrie stopped and Rife caught up. "Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?" more sounds were coming from a door. "I heard that." he ran to the noisy door and tried the handle.

"Here," she offered, "let me." Valkyrie took a few steps back and tackled it down.

"Vendetta?" she asked and Vendetta smiled at them.

"Are you OK?" Rife asked.

"Better than ever." she said and Valkyrie smiled greatly.

"H-how can you?" She laughed lightly, "This is great!"

"I, I got hit by lightening last night, that might've worked or something else happened."

"Maladroit?"

"The very same."

"So, how did you get here?"

"Tenebrae hired Sanguine to retrieve me… so, yeah." she frowned, "Do you know why he did it?"

"Two destructive beings are going to attack and he needed you to protect the Temple."

"OK…?" Tanith came running by.

"We have to go, now!" Tanith began running again and the rest followed by. Valkyrie dug out her phone and called Fletcher.

"Turn here." she ordered and they obliged. Fletcher was standing in the middle of the doorway. They all touched him and Teleported back to the Sanctuary.

"Did anyone miss me?" Vendetta asked with a smile.

"Yes, Vendetta," Tanith sarcastically replied, "everyone."

"uh, huh." She raised a brow and saw Skulduggery. "Hey, Skul, did you miss me?"

His head shifted back a little, "I'm not entirely sure… But, I guess it's good to talk again." If his façade was up he would be slightly frowning in confusion.

"See?" she smiled.

Strange chapter, again…the last one I said the room was bound then I said she played with shadows … so sorry about that. So much is racing through my mind; new plots, helping my friends with their plots, in the midst of BBC's Sherlock Holmes (no spoilers!), coming up finals, biking… ect. ect.
