Taken

Valkyrie lifted her eyes from the book she was reading and checked the clock on the wall. It was 11pm. They'd been researching for 2 hours now, looking for anywhere that Macabre could hide. She thought she might have finally found something. She was sitting in Gordon's study, she had started talking to him but he disappeared a long time ago. She stood up and stretched smiling to herself. She started to call Skulduggery's name as she turned around only to stop mid shout and scowl.

"What are you doing here?" she growled at the man leaning against the frame of the door leading into Gordon's study. He was wearing beaten up old cowboy boots with well worn jeans tucked into them. His faded blue shirt came open slightly at the top revealing well tanned skin. She could smell the cheap cologne, and a faint musky smell of sweat emitting from him. As he raised his chin, his wavy sun kissed blonde hair shifted around his shoulders. He lifted his hand and pushed back the cowboy hat to real his aviator sunglasses, hiding his black holes for eyes. "Well a hello to you to" he said with a smirk rising to his lips. Sanguine.

"What do you want?" she hissed.

"well shoot , I just wanted to have a nice friendly chat, but now it seems that I'm not welcome " he drawled, pretending to be hurt, "oh well its seems I might just have to get down to the business I was paid to do, seems some man named Mac...Maca... oh darn it what was his name? Oh well, anyway he fancies having you as a house guest and he asked me to invite ya, along, don't cha feel special?"

Valkyries eyes widened when he mentioned macabre, she knew that couldn't be good. Sanguine just smiled at her expression. "Now when he mentioned your name I told him I wanted double, and do you know what? He agreed! Y'all must be pretty darn important to him! So if you don't mind I'm jut gunna..." he started towards her and she ran straight at him, he looked confused and then she barrelled straight at him knocking him to the ground.

She scrambled over him and used his shoulder to push off and started running down the corridor. She heard sanguine curse and then a crumbling noise. She stopped and Waited for him to pop up, as the floor at her feet started to crumble. She cursed and started running in the opposite direction and then she heard his foot steps behind her. He leaped and connected with Valkyrie and the tumble to the ground. She kicked him in the shins, and aimed a fist at his gut as he dodged it and hit a fist into her shoulder and she cried out. He pulled out his straight razor and held it to her throat and she stopped struggling. He just smirked down at her "now ya'll gunna come along quietly and stop hitting me in the face. He said he wanted you alive, but he didn't say nothing about undamaged." Just as she heard the crumbling ground beneath her, she saw skulduggery rounding the corner and calling out her name. Then it was impossibly dark. She could hear the roaring of ground all around her and then she felt a fist connect with her head and the noise stopped as she was unconscious. "Now I wann'ed to do that for a long time" sanguine muttered as the tunnelled deeper and deeper.
