SP fanfic Chapter 5

The Element 4

They left the Medical Bay an hour later after their lovely and incredibly interesting conversation. She yawned. Ok fine it was really boring, but it was also nice, just laying there talking about boring stuff, normal stuff, with Skulduggery. They stalked the corridors leading to the 'Throne room' as Skulduggery called it. The man standing at the door stopped them, went into the room for a few minutes then let them in.
"Hello Detective Pleasant, Detective Cain" Smiled Ravel
"Hello Grand Mage, Elders, Long Time no see, have you found anything about Draco?"
"We did. He's not very good at hiding but we don't know if that's a good or a bad thing."
"I suggest that he is not dumb and that it is a trap."
"Good suggestion, he did outsmart the great Skulduggery Pleasant." Ghastly smirked.
"No, he didn't. It was all Valkyrie's fault. She fell right into the trap and I tried to save her but I fell into it too. My dignity Still remains Intact."
Valkyrie glared at him.
"Very well Detective, It may be a trap, You are not to go there." Madame Mist said
"But we are going anyway, revenge will be sweet." Valkyrie smiled.
"Not if it's a trap and he is waiting for you." Madame Mist stayed completely still as she spoke.
"Skulduggery, Valkyrie, be careful." Ghastly warned.
Skulduggery nodded and they left. The followed a map Ghastly sent them, to a large Villa facing the water. The gates opened as the gleaming Bentley passed through them, Definitely a trap. They got out and entered the house through the open doors. Everything was frozen and sparkling like crystals, really cold too. She shivered.
"Look at that!" A female voice exclaimed "More toys have come to play" And it laughed.
A girl around her own age used the ice on the bannister as a slide and dropped down in front of them. They backed away and the door behind them slammed shut. They spun round to see 3 more girls the same age, laughing at them. The first girl, the one in front of them had long, silver hair, a beautiful white dress just below her knees and Pale blue eyes. The 3 girls behind them were practically the same. The one on the left had shoulder-length, black, curly hair with hazel eyes. They were lined up in order of height, this girl was the smallest. The middle one had layered, shoulder-length, light brown hair and blue eyes and the tallest one had long blonde hair, blue eyes and all of them were incredibly skinny. All 4 girls had the same dresses except they all had different colours. The smallest had a blue one, the middle one had green and the last one had a red one. The girl in front of them smiled.
"These are my sisters, from the left is Mithria Faith, September Silver and Star Inkbright. I am the oldest, Chione Asahina."
"All lovely names, now, can you tell us where Draco Hellsworth is?" Skulduggery remained still.
"Oh, you mean this guy?" A part of the ice melted below their feet and Draco's pale blue face stuck out.
"Yep, that's a shame, we wanted to kill him. Oh well, we'll be leaving now."
Mithria, September and Star stepped in their way, smiling.
"Aww...I was looking forward to a little game." Chione raised her hands and pointed them at the doors which started to freeze. Skulduggery turned to face the 3 at their backs, Valkyrie stayed with her eyes focused on Chione. Back-to-back, ready to fire their...well...fire. The girl named Star stepped forward and raised her hands. Tree roots wrapped around their ankles and lifted them in the air, dangling upside-down.
"What the hell?" Valkyrie thrashed but Skulduggery stayed still and silent, staring at the ground where his hat lay. September raised her hands and fire spread along the roots towards them, their clothes set on fire and Valkyrie screamed. She tried to focus and push at the air but couldn't, all she could think about was the pain coursing through her whole body. She heard Skulduggery scream as the fire started to eat away at his skull and bones. Mithria, the smallest girl, raised her hands and a wave of water doused the flames. They dropped to the ground, too burnt to move. Chione frowned.
"That was no fun...even that Draco guy put up more of a fight."
They lay there, surrounded by the 4 disappointed girls.
"The Element 4. I couldn't remember your faces before... I've heard of you. The four sisters that control each of the elements fully." Skulduggery struggled.
The girls' grins grew larger.
