*Val POV*
I stormed upstairs , leaving Skul in the bedroom. I reached jacks room, picking him up and placing him in his pram. "We're gonna go for a walk!" I mutter, picking it up down the stairs, Putin it down outside. I quickly scribbled a not to Skul, if he came out of his mood, that we were going on a walk. 
                          
Once we were on the pathway, I let the tears fall out of my eyes. God, I hated fighting like this. We walked two streets over, before I realised I'd made a wrong turn, and had ended up on an almost abandoned street. I mouthed a curse, turning around, but bumping straight into a razor, pointed at my throat. "Hello lil lady!" A southern accent, drawled, making me want to punch someone. Sanguine. "Hello Billy-Ray" I sigh, not wanting to fight with Jack here. "Is that your kid there?"he laughs, savouring The moment. I pale, covering Jack from view. "Leave him out of this!" I snarl, frightened. He chuckles, grinning. "We'll see, we'll see.." He mumbles, throwing the razor down my arm. I curse, dodging it, pushing him back, away from Jack. He growls, punching my stomach, knockin the air out of me . I gasp, but hold on, knowing if I don't, it'll cost jacks life. I jab at his jaw, sending him stumbling. I take my chance , as I try and flip him over my hip. He slams into the ground, grunting from the blow. He grabs my ankle, knocking me down. I grunt, slamming into the ground. He immediately grabs his razor, slashing my heels. I cry out, not being able to walk. I use all the strength I have left to push against him, pushing him once agin away from Jack. He grabs my arms, slicing up from my palm, just missing my vein. "Get your filthy hands of off her!" A voice snarls, pressing a gun against sanguines head. My vision starts to go blurry, as I watch the scene unfold. Skulduggerys there, pressing a gun against sanguines temple. "What are you going to do!" Sanguine laughs, trying to play off the fact he's scared. "Oh, it's not me you have to worry about!" Skul laughs, sharply, as his short starts to bulge. "Wha-" sanguine stares in horror as Skulduggerys shirt is  torn open, shadows flying out. The shadows cool together, creating armour. Lord Viles armour.
