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.

Another fanfic!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                     Prologue



Arianne Graham was 7 years old and sitting playing with her dolly, Miss Molly, in the garden, when her mother, Lizzy Graham was killed. There were screams so she went to see what was happening. She had found her in her bedroom lying is a distorted shape with her eyes and mouth open. “Mummy? Mummy why are you on the flood?” she had asked. “Mummy?” Papa Ben had found her, crying over her, blonde hair stained with her mothers blood and her Miss Molly dolly tucked close to her chest. Papa Ben had taken Arianne to her bedroom and told her to play with Miss Molly, whilst he examined the crime scene for traces of magic.
“Ari love, d’ya know who did that tae yer mammy?” he had asked her, voice shaking, and she had replied
“ No papa, I was playing with Miss Molly in the garden. Is she ok?” Papa had just stroked her head and said,
“She’s up in the stars with Nana and Daddy, love.” Innocently she had asked,
“ Can we go visit her Papa?”
“Not yet love, not yet. C‘mon we need to go somewhere safe.” he had told her in a scared voice that made Arianne realise something was wrong. Papa Ben had taken Arianne to the car, buckled her in and drove as fast as his old Volvo could go.
“Where are we Papa Ben, where‘s mummy and why did you drive so fast?” she had questioned him as they rushed into the dark building in front of them. Still walking, he had told her,
“Ari love, there is a bad man looking for you and I will explain the rest later, but we need to see the elder council and tell them ‘bout yer mammy”. The building had been bright and clean on the inside and Papa had rushed through the building that Arianne had thought was a maze and eventually they had reached a room. The bookshelves had covered the walls. She had been placed on a chair and Papa had instructed, “Stay here ‘till I get back, ok love? I wont be long.”
“Ok Papa” she had managed just as the door had shut. Arianne had sat for a total of three minutes before she got bored. She had got up and simply walked out of the room. She had wandered around laughing at the funny uniforms on the statue people, when she had first met Skulduggery Pleasant by walking into him, screaming at his face, then running over to a statue person and hiding behind it.
“ Oh, sorry there. You don’t want to hide behind a cleaver, their extremely scary,” he had told her.
“A what-er?” she had said looking puzzled. He replied, “Never mind. I’m Skulduggery Pleasant, the suave, funny and extremely clever skeleton detective and …” He had begun saying when he was interrupted,
“Did he mention modest? I’m Ghastly by the way.” Skulduggery had pushed Ghastly and said
“I was getting to that bit. As I was saying, who might you be little Madame?” Arianne had giggled at Ghastly but squeezed in,
“I’m Arianne…But everyone…calls me Ari.”
“Well hello there Ari, what are you doing walking about the sanctuary?” Skulduggery had asked in the nicest voice Ari had ever heard.
“Well, mummy had blood everywhere and was ignoring me but then papa came and now mummy’s up with the stars. Then papa drove me here really fast, took me to a room with loads of books and told me to stay but I got bored because we left my dolly Miss Molly at the house so I went for a walk and met you both,” Arianne had explained stopping for breath once.
“Ari, where is your papa now?” Ghastly had asked her.
“Ari there ya are! How did ya end up here? C’mon we need to see the elder council and… Skulduggery? Ghastly?” he had stopped mid sentence when he saw them.
“Ben?” Ghastly had said is disbelief.
“It’s good to see you again Ben, Ari told us about Lizzy, I’m so sorry I just wish we could have gotten here sooner.” Skulduggery had said in condolence to the incident earlier that day.
“Thanks Skulduggery, I need to take wee Ari here to the elders so I’ll be off,” Papa Ben had said clearly too upset to talk about it. Skulduggery and Ghastly had just nodded as if to say, we understand, just as Arianne and Papa Ben walked through the big mahogany doors, into the meeting room, in front of the council of elders.

Halloween Fanfic

"Trick or Treat!", Skulduggery said, as Valkyrie opened the window. "Skulduggery! what are you wearing!", she whispered, shocked, when she saw the batman outfit.Skulduggery replied in a playful tone, "Oh didn't i tell you, we're going to a party Ghastly planned! Everyone's going to dress up!" Valkyrie hadn't stopped glaring at Skulduggery since she heard the words 'party' and 'dress up'. "Skulduggery! I cant go! What am I supposed to wear!" she hissed. "Well, my dear Valkyrie, I took the liberty of buying you a witch costume", he replied, throwing her a bag, in his you-just-lost-the-argument tone. "A witch! You get to be batman but me, I get to be a stupid witch!", this time she was shouting. "Just get changed and meet me at the pier in five", he said, ending the conversation. He flew out the window and landed in the bushes where no one could see him then he disappeared from Valkyries sight. She opened in the bag to find a black and purple witches dress with a black tutu with purple ribbon joined on, purple stockings, black pumps, a black witches hat with a purple ribbon and a buckle and some make-up to match it all.

Valkyrie walked into the room dressed in her witch outfit. "I'm going out. Alice is in bed. Remember, it's Halloween, so when someone rings the door, answer, listen to their joke or whatever thay do, then give then sweets and say goodbye, ok?", Valkyrie said as she was finishing putting on eyeliner -which Carol and Crystal had just recently showed her how to put on- and opening the window. The reflection nodded. Her parents were about to go out to a friend's Halloween party and wouldn't be back 'till late so she didn't need to worry about sneaking in, it was the sneaking out that was the problem. Children were everywhere so she had to be extremely careful that no one saw her when she lowered herself to the garden to meet Skulduggery at the docks. Nope, she hadn't been seen. She walked up to the path and ran to the docks. "Hey. Don't you think that this attempt with the eyeliner looks more decent than last time?" she asked Skulduggery as she opened the passenger door to the Bently. "Valkyrie, i have no clue as to how eyeliner should look, being a 400 year old skelleton, and all." he replied in a sarcastic tone, Valkyrie had only recently discovered. "C'mon Skulduggery, just tell me what you think!" she pressed him. "Valkyrie it's fine" he assured her, just managing to keep himself from laughing. She was wearing make-up because she knew Hansard Kray was going to be there.  







all i have so far !!!!!!!!
