Valduggery one shots and short stories

Stress- Part 4

*Val POV*
I gasped, stumbling back and knocking over a chair. Ghastly dropped his gun, realising what had happened. Skul raced towards me, catching me as I collapsed into his arms. "Shit! Get Kenspeckle!" Skul cried, knocking the dead men out of shock. China nodded, sprinting out of the room. Ghastly had a look of pure horror on his face, as he ran out of the room, regret cascading off of him. The dead men rushed forward as Skul tried to stop the bleeding coming from my chest, right where my heart is. He started sobbing, laying me in his lap. "Come on Val! Please hold on!" He sobbed, rocking me gently. The dead men collapse down next to me, tears dropping down their cheeks. "Come on val, we know you can pull through..." Saracen mumbled, gently taking my hand. I didn't reply. I couldn't. I started to choke, on what, I didn't know. But then blood started dripping from my mouth. And I couldn't breath. "Shit!!! VALKYRIE!" Skul cried, wiping the blood away. Anton turned away, sobbing. My vision started to blur, as I heard Darquesses voice in my head. I'm not coming out to save you this time. This is your own fight. She states, making tears escape my eyes as I choked on my own blood. With the last of my strength, I lifted my shaky arm, and tried to stroke skuls cheekbone. Instead, I covered his cheek in my own blood. Then I dropped my hand, all strength leaving as I heard skulduggery screaming.

*Skul POV*
I started screaming, nothing else mattering. Kenspeckle rushed in, as cleavers pried me from Vals side. I thrashed, swearing like a drinking sailor, trying to break free of their iron holds. Kenspeckle fumbled, pulling a starburst out of his pocket, and hurriedly ripping off Vals top. He placed the starburst on her chest, and pressed it. It glowed, but nothing happened. He pressed it again, urgently. It started to glow brighter, illuminating the room in a deep blue haze. Then it stopped, as val opened her eyes and sat up, throwing up blood and choking on air. The cleavers let go of me, at kenspeckles order, as I rushed to help val. I gave her my jacket, rubbing her back and trying to get her to calm down....
