Autumn Maridence

Hey guys !!!! I know I haven't posted in a while so I finally finished a little thing I was writing about an OC called Autumn Maridence. It's not my best piece but it's just to keep you all going for a bit.

Remember the 2-part Halloween Special FanFic I wrote last year??? Well, I had promised that I would write more but never got round to it so I think I might develop that a bit more this year !!!! :D

Anyway, here's the Autumn Maridence Story :)

The girl in black landed on the metal stairs going all the way up the building she had just jumped off. The icy wind blowing through her rusty red hair. Her name was Autumn Maridence. She loved winter in Scotland, especially at night. She stopped for a split second analysing the situation. Vincent Le Strange had double-crossed her and he was probably half way down the building by now. He hadn't expected her to jump, it was a good start to the chase. Suddenly, she jumped off of the stairs and started running. She had gone over the area yesterday knowing that it was a double cross. She ran through a tunnel, took a left, ran down an alleyway and lightly jogged down the mainstreet. Her car was just over the bridge ahead and she was surprised she hadn't encountered Vincent or any of his goons. Just as she reached the halfway point she saw someone standing at the other side of the bridge she needed to cross and he wasn't alone. "Damn it, knew it was too good to be true," Autumn muttered. Two men came running at her.The first man went to send weak tendrils of shadows at her thigh. She turned to her left, the shadows missing her by inches, and elbowed him on the chin, shaking his head and knocking him back, just as the second attacked. He punched Autumn's gut with a fist of fire twice and went in for a third but she kicked him then flipped him over her hip. She turned back to Vincent and the remaining goons, ready for more, but as she did, icy black arrows of shadows hit her body. The arrows pierced all over her body and sent her sprawling. She hit her head off of a lamp post as she fell and landed against it. Autumn hit her head harder then she thought. "Ouch," she mumbled, checking the place where her head made had made contact with the lamp post. Over-taken by a spell of dizzyness, everything started to blur and darken. She could barely see Vincent Le Strange approaching her. Then, everything went black and Autumn Maridence was finally unconscious.

Fanfic

Hey there, since it wouldn't let me contribute my entry to the short story competition on the Skulduggery Pleasant page i decides to write one and post it here instead. Here goes -

Valkyrie groaned, and sat up. "I told you it was a trap," she said.
"No, you said it looked like it was a trap," Skulduggery corrected. "That's completely different."
He helped her up as a door opened behind them and ...Sadistica Tortura walked through, an unsettling smile on her lips.
"Oh, what a lovely little surpise," she said in a feline tone."The famous Skeleton Detective and his assistant Valkyrie Cain. At my merciless hands," she purred. She circled them, staring ay them intently. The door opened again, but this time Drake Shadows walked through. He smiled at Skulduggery and Valkyrie then his lips met Sadistica's. As he pulled away he gave her two pairs of bounded handcuffs.
"It was great meeting you but we really must be on our way," Valkyrie said politely, steping closer to the door. Drake walked over, blocking the exit.
"You musn't leave now, the fun's just about to begin," Sadistica insisted. She walked up to Valkyrie, smelling her. Valkyrie flinched, she hated people getting to close to her. Sadistica started fiddling with Valkyries hair then yanked it suddenly. Valkyrie screamed in pain. Skulduggery went to help her but he hit a wall of shadows Drake was controlling. He sent tendrils of shadows at Skulduggery's hand, just as he was reaching for his pistol. Meanwhile, Sadistica was on top of Valkyrie, scratching at her face and neck. Valkyrie was trying to push her off before she penetrated her skin. They struggled for a bit, Valkyrie growing tired and moaning ever so often. Valkyrie finally punched Sadistica on the side of the jaw and kicked her off, sending her sprawling across the room into Drake, who was struggling with Skulduggery, making him stumble. Skulduggery used the distraction to punch him several more times, ending with a hard uppercut to the chin, knocking Drake out. He landed on top of Sadistica, who hissed and tried to claw her way out from under him. Eventually she gave up and jsut lay there. Skulduggery walked over to where his pistol lay and picked it up. He dusted it off and put it back in it's holster.
"Are you okay?" Skulduggery asked Valkyrie.
"I'm fine," she said. "Just a little sore" Valkyrie walked over to the pairs of handcuffs that Sadistica had dropped during their struggle. She tossed a pair to Skulduggery, who walked over and cuffed Drake. Valkyrie went over to Sadistica, rolled Drake to the side with Skulduggery's help and pulled her arms behind her back cuffing her. Skulduggery pulled out his phone and called the Grand Mage.
"Yes, we've got them. No, they're fine. Yes, okay we will. Just Cleavers. Thanks. Bye," Skulduggery said and hung up." The Cleavers will be here shorly, Ravel says good work." Valkyrie just groaned and slid down the wall. The Cleavers wouldn't be there for another ten minutes. She took that time to relax and think about going home. The Cleavers arrived with two other Sanctuary agents Valkyrie had met once or twice before and she got up and went to sit in the Bently to wait for Skulduggery. He told gave the agents what to do with the couple and got in the Bently. Skulduggery drove Valkyrie back to her house instead of the docks as it was so late at night that nobody would be up.
"Thanks Skulduggery, see you tomorrow," she yawned.
"Take the week off, i have some business i need to deal with and you could really use some rest," he said to her. She nodded and walked away, greatfull to have some time to herself. She walked directly below her bedroom window and made a cushion of air below her to carry her up. Whe she was at the top she open the window and let herself in. The reflection was lying in her bed, staring at her as she came in. Valkyrie said nothing as she changed into her old running shorst and an old t-shirt. The reflection walked over to the mirror and stepped inside, waiting there. Valkyrie touched the mirror and felt the memories flood through her as she got into bed and pulled the covers up to her neck. She lay there engulfed in the warmth of the covers and drifted off thinking about Fletcher.

That's all I've got so far, let me know what you think :3 ~ Cassidy

Next part of previous post !!!

Hey i would just like to say that i have decided to change Arianne's name to Anna in the previous story, you shall see why soon ...

 

Chapter One
          
        

 Arianne Carmody new that today was a good day. She had taken the name Arianne Carmody today 28 years ago and she was about to see her old friend Skulduggery Pleasant. She still remembered the day she met him, back when she was called Anna Elena Graham. They met 40 years ago, it was had to forget the day her mother had died. The elders had scared her and so had Catriona Karenza, Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary.  Now she was fidgeting in her seat on the plane, on her way to Ireland to help capture Logan Clancy, the monster who murdered her mother and father.
                    She had sought revenge ever since Papa Ben decided she was old enough to know what happened to her parents. Her father, Elijah Bloodlust had been rushing home to save his family when Logan burned him alive in his car and her mother was packing bags to go somewhere safe when Logan had used the air to crush her. She was finally going to get him, after all these years. He was hard to track and left close to nothing behind after he left somewhere.
                    The Irish Sanctuary had contacted her through the Scottish Sanctuary and told her that he was seen in a bar, that she had once tracked him to before, 2 days ago, asking where he could find a good bodyguard. He was probably trying to get a few hours of sleep before moving again. He would still be in Ireland. He hadn’t encountered her in over 3 years, so he probably thought she had given up or something.
                  “We will be landing in Dublin shortly, please make sure your seatbelt is fastened and you are comfortable for our descend,” she heard the flight attendant say through the intercom and squealed with joy, everyone stared at her but she just smiled apologetically. It had been years since she had seen Skulduggery and the excitement was overwhelming her, despite the fact that she was there to catch Clancy.
                  “We have now landed in Dublin, you can now take your seatbelt off and gather your “carry on” luggage. Thank you for flying with Ryanair, we hope you enjoyed your flight and you may now leave the plane through the nearest exit,” the intercom buzzed again. Arianne shot up, grabbed her lucky satchel from the seat beside her and virtually running to claim her luggage.
                  Once she had recovered her suitcase she went outside and hailed a taxi. The driver was a dirty, middle-aged man and he was holding half of a cigarette out the window.
          “Where to?” he asked in a thick English accent.
          “Temple Bar, please” she replied, as normal as she could. She couldn’t stop fidgeting with her seatbelt. Click, it was unfastened, Click-click, it was fastened, Click, it was unfastened, Click-click, it was fastened. She repeated the process for another minute, getting faster and faster, until it irritated the taxi driver.
               “Will you shut up back there!” he snapped.
          “Sorry,” Arianne said, under her breath. She sat back in her seat. With nothing else to do she scanned the taxi. It was dirtier than the driver, and that was hard to beat. There were wrappers everywhere, pizza boxes piled in the passenger seat and there was a horrible smell that had just came from the driver.
                 “Temple Bar, £14.99,” he said in monotone. Ari gave him a £20 note and got out with all of her belongings. She walked up to the tattoo shop and knocked the door. There were a few bumps and bangs before a very sleepy middle-aged man opened the door.
          “Hey man, can I help you with something?” he asked drowsily.
          “Yes actually, I’m looking for Finbar Wrong, could you get him. Tell him it’s Ari Carmody,” she instructed him as he walked away to find Finbar.
