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
Stay tuned for more AWESOME adventures of Kirsty & Co.
