P.S Valkyrie is 23

Skulduggery's POV

I was on my way to fetch Valkyrie for our case, which we had been doing for 2 days. I know the exact location of this criminal where he was hiding, so maybe today, the case would close. As I pulled up at the estate, I saw Fletcher, sitting on the steps, sulking. He looked up at the sound of the car. Feeling slightly puzzled, I adjusted my disguise while getting out of the Bentley and walked towards the house.

"Oh, hey Skul." Fletcher said dully.

"Why aren't you in there?" I asked, nodding towards the house.

Fletcher groaned. "You just had to remind me. Tanith keeps slapping me and Valkyrie keeps tackling me if I go in. They said something about "Girl talks." I tried teleporting but this is what greets me." He pointed to his face. It had two red hand marks on each cheek.

I laughed, shaking my head and he scowled, glaring what he thought was a death glare. More like a confused cow, if you ask me.

I passed Fletcher and knocked on the door.

"FOR THE LAST TIME, FLETCHER, NO!!! TELEPORT IN HERE, YOU'LL GET HURT UNTIL YOU WISHED YOU WERE NEVER BORN!!!" That should be Tanith.

I glanced over at Fletcher who was doiong his fish expression and chuckled.
"That made it clear they don't you in there."

I knocked again only to find silence that answered my call. I knocked harder, and this time the door flunged open showing a very furious Valkyrie Cain. She looked like she was about scream, but as if she realized it was me, she froze, eyes wide. Her face went beetroot red for some reason.

"Speak of the devil, and the devil shall appear." Came Tanith's voice.

3rd Person view

"Valkyrie?" Skulduggery called as he tilted his head in confusion. "Is something wrong?"

She gave a little jump, followed by a small scream and dashed into the house, tripping in process.

Skulduggery stepped into the house, just in time to hear footsteps on the stairs and a slam of a door. If he had eyebrows, one would've been raised. Tanith sighed and smiled while she followed Valkyrie.

"Oh c'mon, Val!" Tanith called at the closed door, "It's not that bad, I'm sure he'll understand! Besides, he'll probably feel the same!" Tanith heard muffled: "Shut up!"

What on earth are they going on about? Skulduggery thought

"Well, I'm going to break your promise!" Tanith said as she dashed downstairs towards Skulduggery. "NO, TANITH!!" Valkyrie roared as she opened the door. Tanith glanced behind her before saying to Skulduggery. "Valkyrie lo-"

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Valkyrie screamed as she lunged for Tanith.

Valkyrie's aim swerved and hit Skulduggery instead. She fell on him and they both crashed down onto the floor. A moment passed and Tanith cough. That's when they realized their positions.

Skulduggery was directly beneath Valkyrie and her head was over his shoulder. He could feel her breath where his ear's should've been. Valkyrie raised her head and stared into the skeleton's eye-sockets. She felt herself go red and hot.

Skulduggery stared back into her chocolate eyes. There was something new in there. Something that was never there before

Could it possibly be- Skulduggery's thoughts was cut off with another cough.

Ooh, what was he thinking? I wonder what..........hmmmmmmmmmm................

Should I continue? REVIEWS PLS!!! I'm sure I suck.......terribly.....LIKE HELL!!!!!
