Skulduggery Pleasant Fan Fiction: Impossible Reality

15. Don't look

WARNING THIS IS THE GORY CHAPTER!! IT CONTAINS HIGH DESCRIPTIVE VIOLENCE!
If you are not cool with violence I recommend ether skipping the chapter or choosing carefully where you read. The violence in this isn't too much worse that the book (I think) but be warned this is a blood stained chapter and I am by no means gentle. Watch your lunch XD

Adelle tried to twist and shrink away from Joey's grasp but the knife came too fast. Shadows snaked around Joey's wrist restraining her movements. The shadows split and branched off only to wrap around Joey covering her in a cocoon of shadows. Ben appeared next to Adelle to grab her shoulder and teleport them both to a safe distance.
"You don't deserve to have brothers!" screamed Joey from within the shadows, "You're just going to get them killed!" The shadows constricted and Adelle just managed to cover her brother's eyes. There was a sickening crunch and small jets of blood shot out from between the shadows when they crushed Joey within the dark cocoon.
Adelle lurched like she might vomit but managed to recover "A little warning next time, please" Adelle wheezed.
Vile just moved on, stepping over what was left of Joey, "This way. There are people" said Vile simply, seemingly ignoring Adelle's complaint. Ben was also looking pale but helped Adelle to stand upright. Her brother gave Adelle a worried look then gestured towards Lord Vile. Adelle nodded and caught up to Vile's strides. Damn tall people and their long legs. Vile stopped at the door to Saracen's room and Adelle stepped in front of him. Vile gave her a hard glare.
"You will not kill my brother" said Adelle sternly only for Vile to give a disapproving head tilt. Adelle opened the door and moved into the room sliding out her knife as a precaution.
"Adelle?" came a call from the corner and Adelle spun around just in time to receive a hug. Adelle sheathed her knife and hugged her brother back. Will's blond hair was in her face and once again Adelle felt that her brothers were leaving her behind in height. The fifteen year old was slightly taller than her and was giving her one of his favourite bear hugs.
"Ok Will, I'm not going to last much longer unless you let me go" chocked out Adelle.
"Right" he mumbled as Will set her down. "Is Ben ok?!"
"Of course he is." As Adelle said this Ben teleported behind Will giving him a tackle hug from behind.
"I'm glad to see that you're all alright. We tried to find you both. Will wasn't going to let us give up" said Saracen from the desk chair. Out of the corner of her eye Adelle saw Vile step into the room and Saracen stood up from his chair.
"Wow there" said Adelle making sure to stay between the two men, "Joey just attacked me" said Adelle to Saracen
"What?!" Saracen almost yelled "Where is she?" Adelle looked away but Saracen seemed to get the idea, "You've got to be kidding me"
"Hey, if he didn't act that quickly my sister would be dead" voiced Ben

Saracen let out a tired sigh and massaged his brow, "First Ravel now this" Saracen said more to himself. "I though seven was supposed to be a lucky number"
"Looks like it's not yours" quipped Vile. Saracen glared at Lord Vile through his fingers.
"We know where Serpine's hiding" offered Ben. The two older men turned at this.
"Where is he?" asked Saracen

"In the mountain ridge by Rathmore" replied Adelle

"I'm sick to death of Serpine, he's killed too many of my friends, tortured so many people, kidnapped you two and turned Ravel against us" said Saracen. "I'm taking him out, who's coming?"

Suddenly Serpine was pulled backwards off his chair and his head smashed into the ground momentarily darkening his vision. When his sight recovered he was greeted by a boot to his face. Serpine cried out in pain and felt the boot crush his manhood. Serpine's eyes bulged as he curled up in agony.
"That's for my brothers and for my dad" said a female voice then he heard the woman walk away, "His all yours" she said so someone else.

Saracen twirled his knife as he strolled over to the withering Serpine. Saracen plunged the knife deep into Serpine's abdominal.
"That's for Skulduggery" said Saracen as Serpine cried out in pain, then Saracen twisted the knife, "That's for his family" Saracen then pulled out the knife and placed his hands on Serpine's shoulder, "This is for Larrikin" continued Saracen as he dislocated Serpine's shoulder. Then Saracen put his foot on Serpine's elbow and pulled it back, braking his right arm completely. "That was for Shudder" he whispered in Serpine's ear then he stood on Serpine's right hand and ground it into the floor and to finish it off Saracen kicked Serpine in the ribs, "That's for China and everyone else"
Saracen stood up and stood next to Vile and Adelle. It was like a revenge tag team, though Saracen didn't know why Vile would want revenge against Serpine.

Vile quickly created a fist and shadows leaked from all corners of the room to grab and restrain Serpine. The barbed shadows dug into Serpine's flesh, griping his four limbs tightly. Vile was just about to put Serpine through agony when he turned and looked at the witnesses. Saracen could probably stomach what was about to come next, but Vile wasn't so sure about Adelle.
"You don't need to watch this" Vile whispered just before shadows blocked Adelle off from the three men.
The shadows started decreasing the slack and gradually Serpine's groans became cries of pain as his limbs were being almost pulled from their sockets. Serpine tried to pull against the four large shadows, but to no avail. Slowly they got to the point where Serpine's body was barely holding its self together. Then with a sickening rip and pop Serpine's body was in large pieces. Blood was everywhere and astoundingly Serpine was still breathing. Vile walked over the blood towards Serpine's torso, using shadows to prop it up. Vile stopped in front of him crouched down to almost eye level with Serpine. Vile's hand plunged into Serpine's chest and closed around his heart. At this stage it seemed Serpine was just struggling to stay awake, but when he felt the sub zero temperatures in his chest he gave a jolt of shock. Vile then quickly ripped Serpine's heart out of his chest.
"Your rotten heart" whispered Vile as he held the heart for Serpine to see then he let it fall to the ground with a slight squelch. After that Vile stood up and walked away, leaving Serpine to die both in agony and alone.

Saracen watched the whole event unfold and simply concluded that ether Lord Vile was a naturally violent person or that somehow Serpine really pissed him off. Although he wasn't surprised that Serpine would managed to annoy Vile. Serpine was hands down the most deceitful annoying silver tongue around.

Despite not being able to see what happened Adelle still managed to get the idea through the screams of agony. When the shadow wall finally dropped all Adelle got to see was that there was blood everywhere, before Vile and Saracen ushered her out of the room.

When they were just over half way down the hall Vile felt Serpine's life force completely diminish. If Vile could he would have given a smile, for the fact that the misery that was Serpine had finally died.

So did you all manage to keep your stomach contents within your digestive tract? If so good work, if not ... well I don't plan on writing another gory chapter for a while. But look on the bright side, at least now you know to listen to my warnings XD
Would you guys be disturbed if I told you that someone explained to me how gypsy were killed when I was 10 or 12? That's where I got the inspiration for how I killed Serpine. :)
For all that don't know gypsy's were killed by having their organs removed, shown to them then thrown in a fire. Then they were torn apart from horses pulling at ropes attached to their limbs. I know, wonderful right!

Now don't look at me like that because I killed off Serpine. He's already been killed by Derek so I don't see a reason for putting up a major/minor character death. But if you think I should then just say so. 

Also I'm back at Uni for all who don't know, so updates should be slower again. Sorry but work comes before play. :/ 

I hope you enjoyed my gut churning chapter XD
