We're having a pretty awful summer here in Ireland, but
sometimes you can find little moments of prettiness in amongst
all the dreary drabness.Like this double rainbow outside my

didn't like it nearly as much as this guy liked HIS double rainbow...

«Oldest ‹Older 3601 – 3800 of 4764 Newer› Newest»*has gone all hyper now and is listening to Nyan Cat*
Eeeeeeeeeee~! :D
*is giggling irl*
Oh dear golden god. Why did I even bring this up? *is laughing so much her stomach hurts*
*nightmares of Nyan Cat return*
Thanks.
Nyan Cat nightmares would be good ones though! What made them bad?
*laughles*
Where'd Ink go?
NYAN CAT DREAMS ARE HILARIOUS.
*lays on the grass and thinks of the Nyan Cat dreams*
...
*laughs quietly*
Oh never mind...
*laughs at people laughing*
*tries to stop giggling by breathing in and out*
*laughs even more*
*gives up and laughs*
*is gazing at L's profile pic feeling a bit wowed*
*has managed to stop laughing at Nyan Cat by putting on Five Finger Death Punch*
Nightmares are always bad when you're having them. Anyway, I dreamed the demonic cat was zig-zag-chasing me through a train station. It wasn't particularly pleasant.
*manages to chill*
Okay.
Okay.
I'm calm.
I just need to wait for my dad to wake up to let me buy some more books...*looks at profile pic and frowns* Hmmm...
*stares at L's picture*
JEALOUS!!!
Oh, Tac Nayn? Yeah, HE'S not friendly, so that's understandable, I guess...
*laughs at Mist and Star*
I should be getting around 7 more, soon. *crosses fingers hopefully* Maybe more. Depends how discrete I can be, I guess. *shrugs*
I think I'm getting the UK copies for my birthday...
Oh, you know how DD has the Skukduggery Pleasant logo in dark blue and the the Dark Days part in purple? Well I got one yesterday with the Dark Days in light blue!
Night, Kal!
*laughs*
The third SP book on the top shelf is a special edition one. As is the Dark Days hardback.
I might be getting a The Faceless Ones hardback collectors edition soon, as well.
The Dark Days hasn't got a number on the side, but I should be getting one with a number on the side, soon. The First Playing With Fire on the top shelf has green pages. The first two The Faceless Ones have blue pages.
All the others are normal ones.
Apart from the book next to the two Large Paperback Dark Days, which is a proof copy.
"Since the dawn of time...
Only the strong have survived...
I will not be forgotten...
Welcome to the pride!"
I'm also getting a new bookcase this summer, hopefully. Which I can paint the side of. It'll have a Skulduggery on the side of it, I think. :3
I might be able to get a poster/some posters this year, too.
I've found a signed Mortal Coil I might be buying, as well. x3
Speaking of large paperbacks, I am getting The Faceless Ones, Mortal Coil and Death Bringer in large paperback soon, as well. *grins* When I get all the large paperbacks I'll be happy.
That'll make it four editions I have completed the collection for.
...
*stares at L*
...I wish I had more money...
I don't know who Tac Nyan is, but no, it was the same pink candy cat but with long eyelashes
You know how I have NO SP books, save TEOTW???
Well, I'm asking for all the SP books for my birthday. Which is in September.
So I am < insert smiley here >
I don't have much money, right now.
*frowns*
But, I get my exam results soon and I get some money when I go on holiday. And I get £5 a week, which I can buy 3 SP books with. *grins*
Have you seen Becky's bookcase? Because that is amazing! She has a nicer collection of books than me. D:
She has 44 books, I think. I currently have 30. I SHOULD be getting 7 more, today. HOPEFULLY. Then I will have almost as many as herrrrrrrrr. (y)
Oh...okay then...
Tac Nayn (not Nyan) is evil Nyan Cat. The real demonic one.
Cool, Ink!
I only have 12...
*wonders why I am still here and not sleeping*
*shrugs*
I hope you get all the books, Star! *gives Star a four leaf clover*
*attempts to send some books through the computer screen and fails*
It is AWESOME.
And over the summer I want to buy Gone, Hunger and Lies. Because it struck me that I won't have my school library forever. Which is a :/ :( :| O_O thought.
We need the most violent or destructive xD
*accepts clover and laughs* I have about forty four leaf clovers, irl :)
Gtg bbl :(
My school library is crap.
So...*points at SPbookcase and other bookcases* Yeah...*nods* It's like my own mini-library.
I dedicate this page to Luciana Scàth!
I'm not good at dedications, I'm really not, let alone ones with much meaning. But Luciana deserves another dedication anyway! For thinking up the amazing idea of the Blogland Awards.
She's done a really good job making sure it all works put and happens properly as well, so this page goes to L!
Bye, Star! *hugs*
Also, Becky's winnage:
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5nwptuXS81r1n6vro1_500.png
Mine sucks. We got Scepter only. My bookcase is so much better. :D it has all the SP THG HP Warriors and Twilight books. Plus guides and novelettes
Bye Ink!
*nods*
Fail dedication as always, but you guys get the idea…
N'awwwwwwww, Mist! *tacklehugs* Why would you dedicate to me? :'3 *laughs at her stupid question* Thank you so muchhhhhhhh!
Becky's winnage again:

Loki doki, Mist!
*goes to a tree and starts writing a list of things to buy in a notepad*
Bye Star!
Awwwww....I don't want to go to school tomorrow... I want to stay home and hang out with my family. :'(
*flicks someone in the head*
*goes by lake lonely*
Hi Zafira!

OOH! A skull! And a penguin plushie! *scribbles in notepad*

I have school on Tuesday.
Yay and no at the SAME TIME!

Yeah, this is going to be the first week of term three
Ih my god I am so nervous about week 8 *shakes*
And yet, you didn't say hello, did you?
Bye Kal!
OOH! IDEA!
How about an SP cushion? For the end of my bed near my bookcase?
*waves to Kallista and re-fixes shapeless hair*
*flicks pebble back*

L most evil Minion Award thats what we need
Hey guys! Me back but I'm not sure for how long... I just had a row with my aunt and I have a feeling she's gonna turn off the wi-fi...
Hi Lynxia!
I rarely say hi to people. *shrugs* And who'd get the Most Evil Minion Award? *raises eyebrow*
*scribbles something else down in her notepad*
I have no idea who you're talking to Mist, but ME said hello. to EVERYONE. INCLUDING that armadillo.
Bye for real Kallista!
Hi Lynxia!
Most evil...well, it's not me, that's for sure
*has successfully munched every famous landmark*
LYNX! *tacklehugs*
...
...
*returns to sitting under the tree writing things down*
Hey Luce!! *pokes* You NEED to watch Hollow Crown part 2! Forget the story you just need to watch!!
Well, there's no comment there from you saying hi, Eve.
Unless Woozles struck again, in which case you probably did.
Boom?
Hmm...I bet I've got the blog with the least views.it's sad how next to no one finds me interesting...
I know I wouldnt get Most Evil Minion.
Dark or Val would.
Mist: Depends. Saying hi to who? Zafira?
Oh yeah, Val is evil. She kills her stuffed animals
Yuh huh.
*shadow walks to Eve and prods her with a pencil* I doubt that. I'm the least interesting. I think you're incredibly interesting.
LYNXIAAAAAA. I shall. Or I can just tumblr. *grins*
I have to go guys! Might be back soon!
Bye Lynxia!
Bye, Lynx! *huggles*
"Hi Zafira!
*decides that I flicked Kallista in the head* XD
July 15, 2012 2:48 PM "
There. Right after Kallista's I LOVE JOSEPH OCATBOONA
Happy, Sam?
Should I make an SP cushion? I might. I think I will. I don't know. Opinions?
2228 pageviews, Luce.
Bye Lynxia!
I think you should, Lucy!
*snatches pencil from Lucy Anna and munches it*
Make it!
I did my chalk drawing. I need to find a ring similar to Valkyrie's I'm going as her for Halloween
*super-major facepalm I-am-an-idiot moment*
Sorry.
And yes you should, L!
I don't celebrate Halloween. But I did go to a Halloween-themed engagement party. I went as Hermione Granger. That was when my hair was long, and Hermioneish...
I do love when others have those moments.
Just as fun when I have them though :P
*takes out a pen*
Thanks, Eve.
YAY! I shall make an SP cushion this summer, too! I have a list of things to make- it's great! :D
No problemo *munch*
The main reason why I don't want to go to school is because I had to do homework over the holidays and was too lazy...
Eve's Life Story:
Consequence? What does that mean? Well, I'll have something to mull for the rest of the day...
*scribbles something else down*
I think my mind is liking me, today.
Im off til Aufust 28th. I think.
Oh wellz
Excellent!
Super msd
Closer to school, uh-oh...
I have a PowerPoint to do by Wednesday for my group in Enrichment. I have a feeling I'm going to let them all down...
Okay Eve. Bye in advance.
OK, Eve.
I wonder how many books I could get for my birthday...But it's not until November. Maybe I should ask for the Australian ones? Or the French ones? Maybe the Spanish ones? I'm asking my grandparents for the US ones.
Great. If I don't memorize all my lines, I'll be letting the whole SCHOOL down...
Sigh...
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m71f8rzYet1ry77z8o1_400.png
^ I think this would look cool on a cushion. :3
*hides my US versions*
Get the old UK ones!
Well, the first three...
I have the old UK ones. *points at bookcase*
Agh, of course you do...
I do need the first one with orange pages, though. *frowns* If someone found me that I'd be so fucking happy! x3
I just counted up how much money I have in my moneybox . . . £65.72!!!
*that awkward moment when you're rambling on about yourself and everyone decides to ignore you so you say
But enough about me, what about you?
:P
*suddenly feels hopeless*
I'm never going to be an author...
Wow...You could buy...*counts* almost as many books as me for that price! :O
Neither am I, Mist. Snap!
*prods Mist* You should never give up on your dreams, because your dreams are what keep you going. You'll do as well as you want to do! If worst comes to worst self-publish with amazon! :D
Wow Star!
...Even though I have no idea how much that is worth! :D
Fine. What lines, Eve?
Is this one of your drama performances?
Lol!!!
Uhm....$254 in all....
*goes quiet*
confirmation plus xmas plus bday plus easter!!! I never spent it
Well I think a dollar is worth more than a pound, but I forgot whether it was an American dollar or an Aussie dollar. :P
*looks up exchange rates*
...Are you kidding me? I do not ramble so people will pretend to take interest. I ramble because I have nothing to contribute to this conversation. Therefore, I will not answer your lifeless questions, for I am not attention-seeking.
*has successfully sought out attention*
*not purposefully*
MWAHAHAHAHA!
o.O
Wow..
I have...£3.64. Then again...*looks at bookcase* That could be why. It's worth more than my phone, that collection. But, my mum does owe me £20...Which means MORE BOOKS.
I'm walkin on sunshine, wooooooah
Back!!
I want books too . . . But I'll settle for only seven Skulduggery Pleasants. :)
*frowns*
...Okaaay...
*wanders off to watch DBZ Abridged*
Now replay my speech 6x faster
Hi Lynxia!
Hi Lynxia!
*bows to Eve and hands her a banana* How are you today, Banana Lord? (Seeeeee? Mr noticed youuuuu!!:)
I have 8 books including TEOTW
Hey, Lynx!
I need the Gone series. I am getting all of the Death Note manga. Hopefully the anime, too. And I've seen a really cute manga hoodie! :'3
*looks effortlessly cute, because manga*
I'll settle for getting KOTW I'll be soooo going loco when I get it.
I got a sign on my door if I read a new SP book.
"Do not disturb. Death Bringer may bring your death"
asdfghjkl.
KOTW. I CANNOT WAIT. I CAN'T EVEN. OMGG DON'T EVEN. It's 45 days away, for me. WAY TOO LONG. ONGDgyqch a\bw dfg0Was[dgesudi
awdshjqd,.
I love the GONE series ssooooooooooo much!!
drake is the best!!!!
*tentatively holds banana with two fingers* I'm fine. Ut's night. I have school tomorrow. Not happy about it. But the last part of these holidays made it worthwhile :)
*shuts everyone up before they can Awwww*
Not talking about you. You make living in SCHOOL DAYS worthwhile.
*allows awwwws to commence*
...
*crickets*
And how are you, Faithful Servant?
Yaaaaay! Signs on doors!
Okay, £1 = $1.55 (USA dollars).
And £1 = $1.52 (Australian dollar).
So a pound equals just over a dollar and a half.
That means that my money box contains over $98.58!!!
Gone.... Still got that nagging belief that it's abut child abuse
The sign on my door says 'Enter at own risk. Inhabitant is unstable'.
Just about xD
America is epica
I have hit someone with DB they ticked me off
The sign on my door says something in wood language. It's just wood. Not even a sign... WAAAAAAA
I am SAD because school tomorrow, but GLAD but ONLY ONE MORE WEEK OF SCHOOL BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS!!!
And GLAD because I have £65.72/about a hubdred dollars in my money box, but SAD because some of it'll be spent!
My door has random doodles on it. *grins* My sister gets bored and doodles. She's supposed to be studying maths. You'd think she's an art student with how creative she is. But she's playing Zelda: Twilight Princess right now. So maybe you can tell she's a geek....Hmmm...
*scribbles something else down*
Ugh, lucky Star! The new term starts this week in Australia!
My sign on my door says HOLLY MEGAN TAYLOR in hama beads. My sister made it for me. She also made one for herself and one for our brother.
@Eve: AWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
*bows to Star* You may throw your roses now :P
*realises I still have all my money out amd starts plopping it back in the tin*
You all know this already, but I LOVE Gone.
And, Eve? I'd reckon that a lot of children get abused one way or another in it . . .
Anyone wanna read another snippet?
Awww poor Eve :/
My sign epic. I got the Volturi crest and Slytherin crest too.
Hmm...I bought Skyrim and I've abandoned it.... Is that a waste of $50?
Before i knew what Gone was about, I thought it was about child abuse
Sure Lynxia!
EVE! You should move over here. So you go to school for a week and then have 6 weeks off! ;D
*wails* BUT I LIKE MY ROSES!!! I DON'T WANNA THROW THEM!!!
*tearfullly throws my roses*
Yes! *tries to escape Adelaide*
*gathers roses and gives them back to Star* There you go :)
What does this look like to you guys:
💜
I had.....uhm. 2 or 3 months off??
2 or 3 months????
*groans*
I wish I could go to France. Even if it was only for a day, or whatever. Same with Spain, actually.
And not JUST to buy the SP books. That's just a big reason why I wish I could. I just want to exercise my language skills-*laughs*
No I just want the French and Spanish SP books.
I walked to the end of the alley, Clive the zombie following closely. I had reached the crossover into daylight when I heard a voice behind me.
"Lynxia Lost, stop right where you are and put your hands behind your head." it said.
I recognised the voice, it was the same one that had tormented me for the two months I had been locked in the Australian goal and had helped arrest me a few times, too.
"Zathract Mist." I said smiling.
"Detective to you." he said.
I turned around and saw another person was with him. He had cold brown eyes, a flop of straight, brown hair and an angry expression. "She knows you?" he grunted.
I cut in before Zath could answer. "Yes, I know him. He has locked me up a few times and tormented me for two months in the goal." I said, glaring at Zath but with a smile still on my face.
Zathract sighed. "You still hurt about that, Lynxia? Anyway, hands behind your head." he said, pulling a set of cuffs from his belt.
"Aww, whatever happened to arms above your head?" I asked and Zath's expression hardened like he knew what I was going to say. "Is it because I grabbed that pipe and kicked you in the chest that you changed it?"
The person I didn't know looked at Zath, an evil smile on his face. "Really?" he asked, arching an eyebrow.
Zath was livid. "Arms behind your head. Now." he snapped.
I sighed and placed my hands on the back of my head. "I'll get out again, you know." I said as Zath went about clamping my hands in the cuffs.
He scoffed and was about to say something with I grabbed his wrist. The cuffs weren't clasped on yet and Zath seemed to realise but he realised too late. I channelled my magic through my hand and I heard his wrist break. I smiled as he swore and clutched his right wrist.
The other boy looked at me with some slight shock. "You're a bone breaker?" he asked.
Zath finished cuffing me with one hand and cut across me as I went to speak. "Yeah, but she's a Necromancer too so you'll naturally hate her." he said. Instantly, the boy's face changed and he seemed to really loath me.
£65.72 = USA $102.18
£65.72 = Australia $100.08
Mwah ha ha.
I wanna sleep, but I wanna talk... Sometimes I dream that I'm talking here. Yeah, that'll work
*laughs* Love it, Lynxia!
*hugs roses happily*
Yay!
Love it, Lynxia!
Thanks Star!
LYNXIAAAAAAAAAA. Me gustaaaaaaaa!
Thanks Zath!
Cool writing, Lynxia! I love Necromancers. They're so cuddly. Especially Dragonclaw. xD
Yay!! You all like it!! ^_^
Necromancers aren't cuddly. *frowns*
We're...Necromancers. *nods*
How could we NOT like it? It has HAND CUFFS in it! Freaking hand cuffs!!
*remembers she has two projects to do and two exams to revise for*
I'll be distant!
I'm PART Necromancer. *sounds hopeful for some reason*
K Luce!
Ish...
Okay L!
Necromancers and Children of the Spider. Both equally cuddly.
*cuddles the Torment* my new buddy
Im a Necromancer
I hate spiders though
*sends shadows at spider*
I'M NOT A NECROMANCERRRRR!
Part necromancer? Hmmm, gonna have to think about that one...
Necromancer and part Teleporter! *grins*
TELEPORTER? Well then, you're not cuddly at all.
:P
Oh. No, that wasn't what I meant...
*thinks*
I wonder what I'd choose if the surge came...
Good! *laughs* I don't like being cuddly. :D
*is looking up Gone books on Amazon*
OMGG I want those.
Anyone wanna read the end of that snippet?
I don't really care what YOU meant, but PART necromancer means your shoelaces are cuddly.
No! Luciana, you're cuddly! Except for your shoelaces :P
*has casually just turned 21 few days ago* (not irl
I know...I choose Necromancy. Havent had that fun thing called the surge yet
Sure, Lynxia!
Uh...okay...?
Anyway, I think my Internet is dying right about now. Bye!
*glares at Zath and L, in particular L* YOU INFECTED ME WITH YOUR BOOK-BUYINGNESS.
*jumps up and down in front of Lynxia waving hand in the air*
Well, I think it's obvious what I'D choose.
FOURS ZATH!!!
Except for my shoelaces? *looks down at feet* I don't have shoelaces. I have boots on, as usual. *takes blade out from left boot*
*examines blade*
It's a beautiful blade.
Need sharpening, though.
*sharpens blade quietly*
Bye Zath!! I'll post all the snippets so far.
Bye, Mist! I loved your ded! *hugs* I'll talk to you when I get back! :) I shall miss you!
Bye Mist!
Oh my god,, I never knew so many people who hate cuddliness! Just shows that I'm the only Hufflepuff. :D
I hope the surge dont come today...that'd SUCK

Zath then realised the other man in the alley. "Lynxia, is that a zombie?"
I looked over my shoulder. "Him? Oh, yeah. Why?" I asked, acting innocent.
"Why's he here?" Zath carried on the interrogation while the other boy started to pull out a machete. Not knowing his name was really starting to get on my nerves.
"Well, I look under eighteen. I can't travel without a parent's consent by myself and he was on his way here anyway so he became my ticket to here." I said.
"Nix, he hasn't tasted flesh yet. Put it away." Zath said, pointing at the blade. So, his name was Nix.
"Please help me." Clive said.
"Shut up Clive you worthless pile of rotting flesh." I snapped.
Clive seemed upset. "You are angry with me, mistress?" he asked.
"Damn right I'm angry. You can't-"
Zath stood on my foot causing me to shut up. "We'll help you. Just come with us." he said.
Nix started to object. "But- What- No! No!! He can't! God, I swear, you do stuff like this just to annoy me!"
"Shut up, Nix." Zath growled. Clive stumbled over. During the time Zath and Nix had been shouting I'd managed to slip away a few feet but Zath noticed and pulled me back. "You're not going anywhere." he said.
"I hate you." me and Nix said at the same time.
I sat in the cell. Blue light flashed around the steel bars and I felt my magic being restricted. God damn goal, I thought. Suddenly I heard footsteps in the corridor beyond and, if I strained my ears, the jangle of keys. I knew what to do, after using this ploy before. I bit my lip and brought tears to my eyes and quickly made fake sobs.
The steps stopped outside and I could tell the person was curious. They hesitated a few moments (I kept up the sobs) then the latch clicked and the person I didn't expect walked in.
Nixion Strange stopped in front of my cage and looked in at me. "What's wrong with you?" he sanpped the question.
I looked up at him, putting hurt on my face. "You wouldn't understand." I snapped back. I brought my arm along my eyes in a big movement, when it was extended I grabbed the keys and quickly concealed them in my fist.
"I can tell the sobs aren't real." he said.
My arms fell to my sides and I glared up at him. "Screw you."
"What?!"
I looked at the other side of the cage, ignoring him.
"Are- Are you ignoring me now?" he asked.
I continued looking in the other direction.
Nixion sighed and left, grumbling.
As soon as the door had clicked I unlocked the cage and got out. "Loki'd." I said with a smile.
I swerved towards the pavement where Nixion stood and the bike rumbled to a stop. "Get on." I said, jerking my head to the back of the bike.
He looked at the black bike then at me, eyebrows arched. "Since when have you been able to ride a motorbike? You're fourteen or fifteen." he said.
I hesitated. "... Yeah, let's go with that." I said, nodding once.
"Wait, are you telling me you're older than that?" he asked.
I sighed. "I'm not telling you anything now get on the bike!" I snapped.
He gave me an odd look but still hesitantly climbed onto the back of the bike.
I re-plated my hair and tucked it through my belt. "Hold on tight." I said and kicked the engine back to life and swerved onto the road and recieving blasts of car horns. I went straight on at the cross roads and soon the houses started to fall behind. I started to push the engine and was soon taking very sharp corners at increasing speed. I could feel Nix's hands pressed against my side as the trees started to give way to the yellow banks of sand and the road started to become coated with dust but after a few sharp corners they had clenched into fists at my sides and he was clinging to the rim of my T-shirt. We swerved past a truck at nearly ninety miles an hour and I felt his whole body go rigid. I laughed and carried on but I could practically hear Nix grumbling except it was snatched by the wind.
*laughs at Star* I have an addiction to ebay, amazon, Abebooks, Gumtree and wherever else I buy books from.
No shoelaces? Then you're fully cuddly!
I stood on the edge of the building while two men held my arms. I was seventeen stories up and only two ways down. One was right behind me and the other was behind the man in front of me.
"If only they'd done their job properly we wouldn't be standing here right now." he said, polishing the gun on the corner of his grey suit jacket. "Now, I don't want you to die particularly quickly but, knowing you, if I give you too much time you'll come back and get me. So, I'll shoot you in the stomach and cast you off the side of the building. Sound good?" he asked.
"Not really but I don't have a choice do I?" I said, looking him straight in the eye.
He pointed the gun at me. "Bye bye, Miss Lost." he said.
The thugs holding my arms tightened their grip and pain shot up my arms.
I saw his finger twitch on the trigger and a small flash of yellow and orange. A loud boom reached my ears and I felt the two men let go of my arms. I tried to run, duck, leap, anything but I felt a stab in my stomach and knew it was too late. I lost my balance on the edge of the building and I fell, arms flailing, into nothingness. The world streaked upwards and I felt blood leaking out of my stomach and saw it leaping, sometimes, into the air as I fell. The sky was a clear blue and I suddenly realised just how vast it was. The other buildings surrounding me joined the climb and I sensed the end was near.
I closed my eyes, ready to accept my fate, but instead of the sickening thud, snap and blackness I expected, I felt two arms enclose around me and lay me gently on the floor.
Then I gave in and the creeping darkness took me instead.
I woke and instantly felt the stabbing in the right of my stomach. I pressed my hand to it and found blood was still seeping from the wound. A group had now assembled around me. One man was dialling his phone, probably to phone an ambulance. I got up shakily, pain coursing through my body with every movement. One woman gasped as I got up and another said I should lie back down.
I didn't listen and looked at the top of the building in front of me. Seventeen floors up I could see four figures. I knew what I had to do and I didn't care who I had to hurt to get it done.
The woman who old me to lie back down placed a hand on my shoulder. I reached out and broke the bones within with a tap. She screamed and clutched the mass of to her chest. I felt the shadows swirl around my bracelet, they were also attempting to fix my wound but it wasn't going too well. I pictured the top of the building and allowed the shadows to take me there. I saw a few startled looks but they were replaced by the top of the building.
Nixion was fighting with Spectre while the two thugs tried to nurse broken bones. I grabbed my bow from where it had fallen to the floor and hit both thugs with the back and broke their spines to be sure.
I was creeping up on Spectre when Nix saw me and his eyes widened. This caused Spectre to hesitate and then he turned and looked at me.
"You!" he growled. "How can you still be alive?! I threw you off a building!"
"Oh, you know. Deep breath in, out and so on." I said and punched his nose. I heard a crack and blood spurted from the sides. I started to circle Spectre then I brought my elbow up and it would have connected with his jaw if Nix hadn't beat me to it and tackled him to the floor.
He placed both hands on the sides of the man's neck and I heard a grinding sound and a loud crack followed by a scream and, finally, silence.
Nix got up and looked down at the pulp that was Spectre.
"Thanks for catching me." I said, standing next to him.
"No problem." he said then looked at me, his brow creasing. "Did you shadow walk up here?"
I nodded and bit back the pain. "Yeah, but it feels like I left my insides down there." I said.
"Are you gonna be okay?" he asked.
Stupid question, I thought. I shook my head and, now the adrenaline had ebbed away, pain swarmed from the bullet hole again making me draw a sharp breath. I could see the blood starting to flow quickly again, it seemed that fighting with a bullet hole in your side wasn't a good idea.
He placed his arm round my shoulders to steady me and I gratefully leaned on him. God I must look weak, was my last thought before I fainted. Again.
Nope, no shoelaces! *points down at feet* See, I wear boots. They go with every single pair of shorts I own. And tops...I wear cut off tops all too often, I think. *puts blade away and pulls on coat*
