Cannibal Jack

Cannibal Jack strode through the busy main streets of London, his dirty, red hair, sticky with sweat. Looking over his shoulder Jack saw the middle aged man who’d been following him for three streets. Suddenly Jack turned into an empty backstreet and continued walking. The man following him also entered the alley about twenty seconds afterwards. As his pursuer turned another corner he saw Jack with his arms folded, tapping his foot. 

“Didn’t your mother tell you it’s not nice to spy on people?”  And with that Jack sprang at the man. He tried to summon some protective wards but it was too late, a long, curved, black blade shot out from each of Jacks wrists and he stabbed the man through the chest. As the man let out his dying breath, Jack tossed his lifeless corpse to one side and continued on his way.

Jack had been only six when he’d been introduced to the magic world, his mother and father; who where both sorcerers where killed by a man who went by the name of Skulduggery Pleasant, he had accused Jacks parents of supporting a man named Serpine and when his parents had tried to escape he shot them through the back. The bullet passed through both of there bodies killing them instantly. Then Pleasant took his coat and walked off. Jack had never forgotten that night; and had made it his ambition to find and kill Pleasant. Now aged twenty-four Jack had encountered Skulduggery Pleasant seven times, and every time jack had come so close to killing him. In the process of finding Pleasant, Jack had killed a total of eighty-nine magicians and was wanted in seventeen different countries. Recently Jack had discovered that Skulduggery had a sidekick named Valkyrie Cane, she was still learning magic and she was, it seemed, Pleasant only weakness. So now Jack was after her, he had found out where she lived but wards protected her house, so he couldn’t get her there. However Jack had another idea, and that was to separate them on one of there assignments, so that is what he set about doing.
