Chapter 6: Clarabelle, Smart?

Chapter 6: Clarabelle, Smart??

Some of the cleavers were freeing Valkyrie from the chains. They carefully lifted Valkyrie out and ran out of the room. As Ghastly followed them out.
They got in Ghastly's van and drove away. He sat at the window seat and stared out into the black night, with Valkyrie's head on his knee.
He was clenching and unclenching his fists without realising.
He suddenly heard a moaning sound,his head snapped down, saw that Valkyrie was awake and was sturggling to open her eyelids. He cursed under his breath.
"Valkyrie, go back to sleep. You are still to weak." He muttered
"Wa?" Valkyrie whispered. She tried to lift her head up but instead gave a sharp yelp, falling back to unconsciousness.
Ghastly slowly stroked her hair and stared back out to the black night again.
They arrived at Doctor Nye's base, which is under a school playground.
It used to be located in a old abandoned cinema. The Hibernian Cinema, but that was Kenspeckle Grouse's old lab.
The place where he took he's last breath, helping Skulduggery and Valkyrie saving the world.
Now doctor Nye has taken over the job of Kenspeckle.
He decided to move, from all the bad memories, and because the magic door stopped working.
Anyways, back to now.
One of the cleavers pulled the playground's slide. The slide went down, revealing a tunnel leading downwards. The first cleaver carried Valkyrie out of the van, and speedwalked down the tunnel. the rest of the cleavers and Ghastly followed him tightly behind.
They arrived at the healing lab, Clarabelle rushed out to greet them.
"Hey guys! How are you? Long time no se- what happened to Val? Is she dead?!"
"No, calm down Clarabelle. But she lost quiet a lot of blood."
"Oh. Doctor Nye is busy. I'll heal her."
"Um, Clarabelle, you sure you can?"
"Yeah! Of course. Yesterday I healed a man who was thinking that he got Mosquitos around him. Then he turned into a Wolf. I stopped him from doing it again!" Announced Clarabelle. "Now just follow me."
Everyone followed Clarabelle in to a room with medical equipments and a single bed.
"Now put her on the bed." instructed Clarabelle.
The Cleaver who was carrying Valkyrie laid her gently on the bed, and stepped away to guard the door. Another two cleavers were standing guard as well. Clarabelle came back with a silver needle dipped in a type of liquid.
She slowly inserted the needle into Valkyrie's arm.
As soon as the liquid was in her body, Valkyrie started thrashing, her body arched upwards. Ghastly, Clarabelle and the cleavers all rushed up to Valkyrie and pinned her body down.
"What's happening with Valkyrie?" cried Ghastly
"Don't worry." Clarabelle reassured.
"It's just a liquid to clean out any bad blood and heal the internal body up. Valkyrie has many damage in her body so it'll be extra painful but it'll soon blow over."
Just like Clarabelle had said before, the struggling eventually stopped. Clarabelle got out a scalpel. She made a small cut on Valkyrie's neck, and put a small glass vial under the wound.
"What are you doing, Clarabelle?" Ghastly asked suspiciously.
"The poison and bad blood in her body is now going to come out and it could infectious. I'm going investigate it to see if there is any bad stuff in it.
Just as she speaks, dark blood, yellow goo, green liquid and some dirt came out.
Clarabelle screwed the lid shut.
"Ok, Valkyrie should be waking up now. I'll be in the other room testing out this stuff." Clarabelle said holding up the vial.
"Ok. Thank you Clarabelle, for saving Valkyrie." Ghastly said sincerely.
"No problems at all!" Beamed Clarabelle. "Yay! Another operation success!" she said and skipped while humming out of the room.
After 3mins, Valkyrie's eyes fluttered open. She immediately sat up, looked around the room and panicked.
"Dont worry, Valkyrie. Your safe. Clarabelle saved you." comforted Ghastly.
"Clarabelle? Really??"
"Yeah. She was so down to earth like and there was one thug in her mind and that is to safe you. She suddenly got very professional. Even though it didn't last very long. She was back to her normal state after she finished."
"My god......." Valkyrie trailed off.
"Yes, indeed my god." chuckled Ghastly.
"Skulduggery is next door. He's slightly injured as well."
"Is he ok?" Asked Valkyrie.
"Um. Yeah he is. Do you want to go and see him?"
"Yes, of course!" Said Valkyrie as she hopped off the bed and padded over to Skulduggery's room.
She knocked on the door, and the door was almost immediately opened by a stranger. Probably from the sanctuary.
Valkyrie stepped in, and was surprised to see about 5 other people is in there. Including Ravel, the grand Mage and Madam mist. They were all wearing the same, solemn faces.
"Hey Valkyrie." said Ravel.
"Um, hi Ravel. What happened?"
"Um well-"
