A journey begins - A skulduggery pleasant story

Karma Of Distraction!

By now Sanguines body had already weakened and so had his struggle. He barely moved anymore and began to tremble. The loss of oxygen now totally seeable. „P-Please STOP..... I'll do anything!! " Scarab cries could be made out, „P-Please". Although he was an assassin, he would never be able to watch his son die. And he didn't want to be. „STOP... IT!!! " he yelled one more time. Though, again, Creed just pretended he wasn't there and let Skulduggery do his job. Afterall it was almost over, anyways.

His punches were now only strokes, anymore. Nonetheless he kept on fighting and tried to do everything in his power to stay conscious. In Skulduggeries opinion a real fighter for someone, who in his eyes, lost everything he loved. Of course with the exception of his father. Who had been all they needed to lure him out of his ten-year-long run. Yet, how much the  detective loved to see his desperate struggles, this had  to be set an end. Wherefore he tightened his grip one more time and was about to punch him directly into the stomach, to push the last bit of strength and oxygen out of his miserabel body. When Dusk, all of a sudden, charged at him from above in the side, that made him fly into the nearby wall, whilst letting Sanguine go  in the same process. Who, so then fell on his knees, gasping heavily for air, that he desperately longed for. While Dusk stood protectively and tense before him, looking at the shocked crowd  and waiting for Skulduggery to attack him back. But when there was no more movement from the corner of where he had pushed the skeleton into, he turned to Sanguine and helped the half-conscious killer up, who was barely able to stand on his own two feet, due to the numbness in it from the oxygen loss...

Just then realizing what had just happened, Creeds anger exploded and he commanded his six cleavers and detectives to attack. Making a huge mistake in the same time. He distracted everyone so much, that Scarab used his chance to kill the cleaver behind him with his poisonous weapon and got free. Wasting no time to prison Creed from behind and holding his weapon to his throat. „Everyone... STOP!!! " he screamed out angrily and got the attention of everyone, „Or else your precious leader is going to die!!".
„You're bluffing.. " Creed provoked Scarab quietly. „ I'm definitely not!" Scarab assured him irritated and moved his attention back to the cleavers and sorcerers. „Do what I say and no one gets hurt! " he made clear, „lay down your weapons! ". Consequently everyone, except of Dusk and Sanguine , who was almost at full consciousness again, did so. „Good, now, everyone move to the side and let them leave! ". At that , slight growls could be made out from the crowd and they didn't move. „Creed!!!" Scarab growled in his ear. Bad mooded, Creed took a breath and turned his attention to his man „Do as he says!! ".   Again no MOVEMENTS. What really pissed Creed off „I said..., DO AS HE SAYS!!! "he repeated annoyed and more loudly. Which seemed to have scared his allies, since they moved to the side. „Good" Scarab  breathed out relieved and looked at the doorway, where Valkyrie allowed herself to appear out of her hide. Tear-marks marking her cheeks and breathing out in relief, as well.  „Quick go!! " Scarab continued smiling, while he turned to Dusk and Sanguine. „But... Dad.." Sanguine , who was yet fully awake again, wanted to protest. „No 'buts', I'm going to be alright.... Just go!!! " he promised. Following both wasted no more time in standing around and ran in the direction of the doorway, during Valkyrie already came a few steps in their direction to catch them. However in the middle of the way, everything turned to the worst.

Distracted...

How how it's is true.

Isn't it!!

Just like it's known..

... Karma is a bitch!!
