The AWESOME Adventures of Kirsty & Co. - Skulduggery Pleasant Edition

Kirsty and Co. (which included Brandon now) snuck into the empty gallery, the eerie sound of sharp screeching from violin strings being played echoing around the empty hallways.

“Anna Banana, shut up!” Kirsty hissed, snatching away the violin. It was important to be quiet. They were here in the gallery following Skulduggery Pleasant and his new associate, which made Kirsty a little nervous. The skeleton detective was... well ruthless. Kirsty secretly planned to use the others as bait if anything went wrong. Brandon was at the top of the list.

“Hey!” said Brandon, indignantly.

Kirsty cursed. Stupid narrator. Couldn’t the narrator, who was technically Kirsty, keep her mouth shut?

Sorry. Anyway, the reason it was crucial to be quiet was because not only were the detectives here, but there were also vampires here. Not vampires like the Cullens’ either, these vamps were vicious, flesh eating, mutilating monsters. They were pretty bad.  

But Kirsty was confident. And so was Brandon. And so were Anna Banana, Taylor and Jess, who were Brandon’s “in-superiors” (or so he liked to believe). In truth, he really wasn’t all that awesome. In fact, he was fairly un-awesome.

“Hey,” Brandon moaned, starting to get annoyed at the narrator.

 “Oi, narrator shut up and stick to the story,” Taylor said.

Kirsty spotted something. It was a vampire coming around the corner, its massive fangs sticking out of its mouth and its razor sharp claws protruding from its hands. Kirsty was impressed. Not a bad vamp.

“Okay, so everyone clear on the plan?” Brandon asked, trying to be awesome and lead the group. What a wannabe.

Kirsty hit him over the head, but he was already crying, having heard the narrator. “Okay, so everyone clear on the plan?” she asked.

Everyone nodded, Brandon still sobbing silently.

They tiptoed to the room where they were going to retrieve the object which they had come here and risked their life for. They reached the corner and Kirsty stopped. The vampire was on the other side and she needed a distraction. She needed bait. Kirsty looked at Brandon.

“Nu-uh,” he whispered.

“Fine,” Kirsty said. She grabbed Anna’s arm and pushed her out into the hallway. She heard Anna scream and watched as she tried to run away from the vampire. When the vampire was far enough away, Kirsty and the rest of the Co. went to the secret entrance for the object that they were her for.

“Wait!” Kirsty said. She could hear voices in the secret room. It sounded like Skulduggery Pleasant. Kirsty & Co. (apart from Anna) ducked back behind the corner. Kirsty peered out and saw Skulduggery Pleasant and his associate slip out from the secret room and go in the direction which Kirsty had sent Anna. When they had disappeared from sight, Kirsty and Co. snuck into the secret room.

“There it is!” Kirsty cried out, pointing to a stone.

Taylor picked it up. “What? This thing?”

Kirsty snatched the stone from Taylor’s hands. “Dude, be careful.”

“What is it?” asked Jess.

“It’s an echo stone,” explained Kirsty. “They’re usually used when someone is dying, people sleep with it nearby for three days and their conscience is imprinted upon it. It sometimes helps their grieving families answer final questions.”

Taylor and Jess teared up. “Are you dying?” Jess asked.

“What? No,” Kirsty said.

“But then... why?” Taylor asked feeling extraordinarily confused.

“Because, it means there can be TWO of me! Awesome? I think so!” Kirsty said.

Everyone stared at her.

“Fair enough,” said Brandon eventually. And with that they left. They were almost out of the gallery when a vampire came drifting around the hallway stopping right in front of Kirsty & Co.

They stared at each other. Kirsty saw somebody move behind the vampire. It was Skulduggery Pleasant and his newbie, sneaking away. Kirsty decided to save her own skin.

“Look!” she shouted pointing at them. That distracted the vampire, who then ran after the two detectives. Kirsty & Co. made a break for it, and safely got back home.

A few days (3 to be exact) later...

“Are you ready guys?” Kirsty asked her Co.

“Sure,” they said.

Kirsty unveiled the echo stone and then picked it up, activating it. Another Kirsty materialised in front of them.

“Sup guys?” the echo-Kirsty asked.

Kirsty smiled. “Isn’t she awesome?”

And she was. Much more awesome than Brandon. Who wasn’t awesome at all actually.

“Hey!” sobbed Brandon.

The End

The AWESOME Adventures of Kirsty & Co. - SOAP OPERA Edition Part 2

Previously on The AWESOME Adventures of Kirsty & Co. – Soap Opera Edition

Last time, on The AWESOME Adventures of Kirsty & Co. – Soap Opera Edtion, a strange person interrupted Kirsty & Co’s relaxing evening at their hotel, bringing forth shocking and unexpected stories from all of their pasts…or at least Taylor and Kirsty’s pasts. This stranger had revealed himself to be Kirsty’s secret twin, and then, shocking Kirsty furthermore had told her that her so called “parents” were not actually her parents… But before he had been able to reveal the truth he had been shot…and killed.

“Our parents…are…” Kirsty’s twin struggled to speak and with a final breath, he lived no more.

“NO!” Kirsty cried out. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

“Who shot him?’ asked Taylor, running to the door. She saw a figure with a gun walking up the pathway. “Oh no, the shooter is coming!”

Anna Banana, Taylor and Jess hid. But not Kirsty. Whoever this shooter was, obviously wanted her twin dead for a reason, and she had to find out what. She would not hide from this person. No. H```````er twin would be avenged.

A man walked in the door with a large gun in his hands. He had a mohawk and needed a shave, he wore all black and had a backpack on.

Kirsty grabbed ahold of a candle stick and brandished it in front of the man. “Stay back and tell me what you want!” she cried out.

“What do I want?” the man asked, incredulously.

“Yes,” said Kirsty. “I saw what you did…I saw my brother get shot! Why did you shoot him? Who do you work for?!”

The man answered. “I work for the company that makes assassin’s creed-”

“Aha! So you are an assassin! It’s just as I expected. But why? Why did you shoot him?” Kirsty demanded.

“I… I didn’t…” the man sounded confused.

“You didn’t what?” said Kirsty, she glanced around and saw that the others were still hiding. “Don’t try and tell me that you didn’t mean to kill him! You’re a murderer!”

“But-”

“Save it for the judge!” Kirsty cut him off.

The man rolled his eyes. “I didn’t shoot the kid.”

Kirsty gasped. “What?!”

All of Co. came out from their hiding places and gasped too.

“I didn’t shoot him. I found this gun on the ground outside after I heard a shot. But I didn’t shoot him. In fact, I think the gun was thrown outside after the shot.”

“But that means…that someone in here shot him,” said Anna Banana.

Everybody gasped. Kirsty turned to face her Co. “Was it one of you?” They all shook their heads. “Okay,” said Kirsty, “let’s think about this. He was shot…but we were all looking at him, not each other, so none of us saw the culprit… After he died, Taylor ran to the door, while we were all distracted and not paying attention to her and said she saw the shooter coming… Then Anna Banana and Jess…hid…” Kirsty turned to face Anna Banana and Jess. “Do you know what this means?”

Anna Banana and Jess nodded.

“You two killed him!” Kirsty shouted turning her weapon (a candlestick) on them. “How could you?”

“Eh?” Jess said.

“We didn’t kill him.” Anna Banana told Kirsty.

“But then who did?” asked Kirsty. “What? Do you think it was Taylor? Taylor who none of us were watching and paid no attention too, thus giving her the perfect opportunity to both shoot my twin and then dispose of the evidence…not to mention being able to frame this nice man here,” Kirsty indicated the mo-hawked, black-clad, backpack-wearing man beside her. “Don’t be preposterous!”

Taylor stood forward. “It was me!”

“What?!” said Kirsty.

“I shot him…and I’d do it again!” Taylor said.

“But…How?” asked Jess.

“Yeah,” agreed Anna, “how?

Kirsty sat down in the armchair. “The Taylor I used to know would never shoot a person,” she said sadly. She looked up at Taylor and stared her straight in the face. “How could you do that? How could you deceive us?”

“THAT’S NOT TAYLOR!” A voice shouted from the top of the stairs. It sounded English. Everyone turned to look and were surprised to see Sherlock Holmes coming down the stairs.

“But then,” gasped Jess, “who is it?”

“That, my dear, is an imposter!” Sherlock said pointing his finger at Taylor…who wasn’t really Taylor. “I’ll prove it!” he lunged forward and ripped a mask from “Taylor’s” face.

Everybody but “Taylor” and Sherlock Holmes shrieked in surprise. The person standing in front of them was… Anna Banana.

“It was you?” Kirsty asked. “You killed my dear, beloved brother?”

“Yes! It was me! I framed Taylor! When no-one was looking it was me who shot him. It was I who threw the gun outside when I was supposed to be checking if the shooter was there,” Anna Banana confessed.

“Where’s Taylor?” demanded Jess.

“She’s tied up in the kitchen.” Anna Banana said.

“But…if you’re Anna Banana…who is that?” Kirsty asked, pointing to the other Anna Banana who had been there the whole time.

“I’m Anna Banana,” the other Anna Banana said.

“But…” Kirsty trailed off.

Sherlock Holmes nodded. “Just as I suspected,” he said. “That’s not Anna Banana.”

“But then who is it?” Jess asked.

Sherlock Holmes leaped forward and ripped the mask of Anna Banana’s face. Everybody gasped. Except for Jess. She fainted…because…

IT WAS HER!

“This isn’t right,” said Kirsty. “It just can’t be!”

The Jess that hadn’t fainted nodded. “True.”

“What?” Kirsty asked.

Jess ripped off her mask and before them stood… TAYLOR!

Kirsty gasped. “But I thought you were tied up in the kitchen!”

“That’s what I wanted you to think… the truth is, it was always me! I killed your twin!” Taylor confessed.

“But why? Why? WHYYYYYYY?!!!” Kirsty yelled, falling to her knees and throwing her hands into the air.

“But why?” asked Taylor. “Why? WHYYYYYYY?!!! I’ll tell you why! Because,” Taylor turned her head to the side and said softly, “he broke my heart. So I broke his.”

‘How did he break your heart?” asked Anna Banana.

“Aha!” said Sherlock Holmes. “I think I know why. You see… Taylor wasn’t the only person your brother lent his jacket to on a cold summer night to protect from the brisk, cool breeze. No. She was not. You see I was undercover on a case, dressed as a female, and I too had been shivering on the beach on a cold summer’s night, in the brisk, cool breeze. But then he had come along and lent me his jacket. And no longer had I been cold. No. I had been warm,” Sherlock Holmes said. “And that! That is why Taylor hates Kirsty’s twin so much. AM I right Taylor?”

“Yes,” Taylor said bitterly.

“Well, Taylor, I’m afraid you’re going to have to spend some serious time behind bars for this,” Kirsty said. “It is illegal to kill people you know.”

‘Yes, I do know,” Taylor said. “But I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you and your meddling Sherlock Holmes!”

“Save it for the judge!” said Kirsty.

And so the cops arrived and took Taylor away to a life behind bars, and Kirsty’s secret twin was buried, turns out his name was George, and Kirsty’s parents were actually her parents, which I’m sure is a relief for everyone. Oh an Anna Banana disappeared. No-one knows where to though and she still hasn’t been seen to this very day.

THE END
