Skulduggery Pleasant Fan Fiction: Impossible Reality

14. Don't you think they're gorgeous?

Again, some language ... although I really should be worried about it .. I mean I saw Antman toda- Yesterday (Yes it was beyond epic, I've been so exited for this one for a while!!) it was rated PG (Parental guidance /13+) and they said S**t as least four times in it, no joke. They also said ass-hat and bastard you know that stuff. So ... I guess my stuff would be rated PG if it wasn't for the violence. :) I'm proud of my self XD

Damn it was cold. Adelle tugged at her coat and tried to keep the brisk winds from slipping through her coat as she crunched through the snow. A male mortal in an oversized jacked started down the same street and Adelle suddenly became edgy. Adelle tried to calm herself, she had just been a little paranoid because she had been held hostage the other day. Adelle was still yet to get a good night sleep with the blood drenched corpses constantly at the edge of her mind. When Adelle and the man were about to cross paths Adelle gave him a courteous nod. The man returned the nod then he lunged at Adelle and tore her basked out of her grip. The man jumped away and sprinted down the street. Adelle took a couple of seconds to register what happened.
"Hey!" Adelle shouted, "Give that back you bastard!" yelled Adelle as she launched herself after the thief. The man had almost reached the end of the street and Adelle was hot on his tail. Suddenly shadows tore up from the ground scattering the snow and the tentacles latched onto the mortal man. One shadow swiped her basket from the man's grip while another jagged shadow ran him through. Adelle started to back away from yet another horror of a lifeless body. Before she could get far Vile materialised in front of Adelle, who squeaked and stumbled backwards. Very dignifying. The shadow passed Vile Adelle's basked like an eager puppy and then happily lapped around its master's feet. Lord Vile held out her basket, passing it to her. Adelle tenderly took her basket back, there was a little bit of blood on it. Adelle looked at Vile, who for his part stood there and tilted his head as if to say 'what did you expect?'. Adelle looked away. Adelle definitely hadn't expected for Vile to help her. If anything she would expect him to kill the robber and her, then take the basket for himself. Although she wasn't sure why he'd want the basket. But she was alive, which is more than she could say for the other guy. Adelle wasn't sure what to do. He'd given her back her basket but he killed the guy in the proses. Then again he was Vile and who would he be if he didn't kill someone along the way.
A general needed more than a mere thank you for helping someone like her out, especially the one who'd not only gave her back her basket but had save her life the other day.

Adelle murmured a thank you as she carefully took her basket back. Then Adelle looked away and after a few moments she turned her head back to face Vile.
"Come with me" said Adelle as she gently grabbed Vile's gauntlet. Adelle didn't flinch despite the icy temperature of the armour and proceeded to lightly tug Lord Vile along. Vile followed her as she steadily led him through the streets of inner Dublin. When they got to a small park Adelle slowed her pace and began to lead Vile through the park. She took him off the path and stopped at a large tree. Adelle then released Vile's hand and gave him a tiny smile before she began to climb the tree. Once Adelle reached the larger branches she slid on top and was hidden from view. Lord Vile tilted his head when Adelle's own peeked out from between the branches.
"Come on up" she said, "There's plenty of room"
Slowly the shadows gathered and lifted Vile up to the branches that Adelle was between. He stepped onto the surprisingly large space between the thick branches. The area wasn't flat but it looked as though it could comfortably fit three people in the space. Vile had to bend down to avoid branches then he sat down next to Adelle who gave a small smile as he sat down.
"Yeah, sorry there's not a lot of room to stand here" said Adelle, she was sitting with her back against an almost vertical branch with her knees pulled up in front of her. Vile lay back on another branch that was sloped.
Adelle immediately sat up, "Oh I'm sorry sir, do you want to sit here?" Lord Vile glanced at her then stretched his legs out and put his hands on his stomach. After a few moments of silence Adelle seemed to get that Vile was comfortable and sat back into her original position.
"They're gorgeous aren't they?" said Adelle as she looked at the shining stars. It was a clear night with the moon shining brightly and the stars dancing in the sky. Vile nodded at the question,
"They are" he said simply. Adelle turned her head to him, allowing him to see her surprise. She seemed to make that face a lot when he talked, almost as if she'd just remember that he could. It was amusing.
