----------------------------------------

Skulduggery pulled up out the front of a building and explained to Morrigan that was were a woman called China Sorrows lived.

As they got out of the car and headed into the building, something nagged at Morrigan. 

There was something poking her in the back of her mind, like one of those annoying itches that can't be scratched.

She tried to ignore it as they continued further into the building. 

Skulduggery was talking to Valkyrie about some case they were doing. Morrigan wasn't listening to them. 

The itching had turned into a sharp pain the closer they got to this woman's' apartment.

"We're going into her library." Skulduggery was saying. Morrigan just nodded.

Skulduggery led Valkyrie and Morrigan into the library, through the bookshelves, until they got to a desk.

A woman with long black hair, porcelain skin and piercing blue eyes, sat behind the desk.

Morrigan instantly felt uncomfortable around this woman. It's not like she didn't like her, there was just something about her.

"Skulduggery, Valkyrie. You brought a friend."

"China, this is Morrigan McCord." Skulduggery introduced her.

"Pleasure to meet you, Miss McCord." The woman named China, stood and walked around the desk, and held her hand out to Morrigan.

Morrigan didn't take her eyes off her. She hesitated before taking the woman's hand.

"Morrigan."

"Interesting." China said, taking her hand back and looking at her strangely. 

Morrigan was starting to get sick of people looking at her like that.

Morrigan didn't say anything.

"I think this girl is immune to me. There's more of a defiance in her eyes."

"China has this thing where everyone falls in love with her." Valkyrie explained to her.

Morrigan was looking this woman straight in her eyes. "I don't know you well enough to even like you, Miss Sorrows, let alone be in love with you."

China leaned on her desk and laughed.

Something struck Morrigan right in her chest and she gasped.

"Well, you have another one who is defiant, Skulduggery." She looked at Morrigan. "What's wrong, my dear?"

Morrigan blinked. "Oh, I just haven't seen a library so big. I was wondering if I could look around." Her heart was beating so hard and fast, she thought they could all hear it.

China waved her hand towards the bookshelves. "By all means."

Morrigan bowed her head slightly. "Thank-you."

She walked quickly towards the first lot of shelves. 

Once she was just out of sight, she breathed out heavily, her body shaking.

"What an odd girl." She heard China comment.

"She's not that bad. Just a bit sad and alone." Valkyrie was defending her. Morrigan didn't hear if Skulduggery said anything, she kept walking until she was as far from that Sorrows woman as she could get.
