A journey begins - A skulduggery pleasant story

A risky Plan

For this reason he lowered his head to Valkyries ear „Shhh.. ", he hushed her and started to explain „Valkyrie... darling, please,  you have to trust me in this.... OK? "he paused and she nodded still sniffling „ I'm going to do something and when I say ' run' you run as fast as you can to my father and Dusk and pull them together....... so I can take you all underground more easily.."
At that fact, she gulped and nodded scared. Eventually her phobia of narrow rooms was still accompanying her.  in Symphony Sanguine sighed „ Don't worry, I know of it..... But I promise you, it's going to be quick!" He promised her and looked up to have his sight on Creed, again „Forget it!!" Sanguine growled at him angrily. Additionally Creed smile vanished and turned to an sad expression „Such a pity and I really thought you would cooperate! ". Having said this, he ordered Skullduggery and two Cleavers within the blink of an eye to his side. Compared to the past the skeleton detective hated his former Partner now, although he didn't really know why. So or so, reasons weren't important anymore. Just the fact of her being together with this Vampire was enough for him. „ I'm disappointed in you, Valkyrie! " he hissed at her, once he stood beside his master. „ Don't speak to her like that!!" Sanguine hissed back. „And since when do you care!!? " Skulduggery growled at him. „Since she saved my life 4 months ago.... And I will definitely not let you hurt her or their child! " he shoted at him protectively. Right now he had to stay strong, despite being near of an own emotional breakdown from having developed a phobia of losing someone he loves, Valkyrie currently was in the middle of the such a breakdown, with the pressure of the baby on top, so he had to protect her no matter what.  Cause of the end of what Billy-ray said, both Creed and Skulduggery were speechless „A child?! " Skulduggery repeated in a hilarious voice, „From HIM!! "  he pointed at the pale body of Dusk. „Yeah!! " Sanguine raged, „ And I'll make sure, that they are together, the moment she'll give birth to their baby." „Tsh and how will you do that!? " Creed doubted Billy-ray in an instant. Anon he twitched his God-Killer Dagger in  fury  „You'll see!" he smiled cheekily and let go of Valkyrie „Now Val.... RUN!!" he exclaimed and sank into the ground. Following year period in the matter of seconds behind the two Cleavers and killed them with a quick slash to their neck. During Valkyrie ran to Dusk and felt for his pulse, before she pulled him to Scarab. Luckily relief washed over her, as she felt a heartbeat with both of them. From then on, the only thing she could do, was to wait for Sanguine to pull them underground. Hence she pulled Dusk on her lap and pushed her left hand on his shot-wound to stop the bleeding.

„Please... Hold on... Both of you"..

.. she pleased, as new tears ran down her cheek. In the same time Sanguine dodged a fiat of Skulduggery, that missed him ingredible good. And had to dodge Creeds blade right after. Actually surprising him so much, that he almost got hit. But it wouldn't get him distracted. In exchange to the past, he would stay concentrated, today and not get easily distracted or let his recklessness take over. Accordingly he elegantly danced through the punches and scythe slashes of his enemies and slashed out with his own weapon, if he saw the right chance for it. Not missing once. At first the two Cleavers fell to his victims, at second a detective, at third he made two more detectives unfightable and at last, the last Cleaver fell for his weapon. Now it was only Skulduggery and the leader of the Sanctuary anymore.  Face to face.  Both with bloodstained blades and daggers.  Ready to kill the other. However, how much Sanguine would have loved to wordwordly tear them apart, this wasn't his plan. Instead of fighting, he had planned something exactly different. It's called fooling. On purpose he let it seem like Skulduggery would be too fast for him and let himself get punched. Fooling them, that they got him. Yet,  it was all part of the strategy. In the middle of the way, before he would have crashed painfully against the wall, he turned around and dived into it. Vanishing from sight. And just as he thought, Creed and Skulduggery thought he would attack them, wherefore they examined their surroundings back on back, on guard. While Sanguine secretly appeared somewhere whole different. His aim had been the machine-wall behind his father, Valkyrie and Dusk. Where he, in the end, of course appeared and instantly pulled them with him again inside. Just to earn one more angry glare of Creed, before he lastly sank into the wall, too....
