Skulduggery sat in a single arm chair in the living room of Gordon's house. Valkyrie had been upstairs sleeping for the last three hours.
Suddenly a high pitched, ear piercing scream was heard from upstairs. Not hesitation, Skulduggery sprinted up to Valkyrie's room.
"Valkyrie?"
As Skulduggery opened her door, he could hear her deep breaths, loud in the now silent house.
"Valkyrie?"Skulduggery called.
She jumped at the sound of her name and turned to look at her doorway, where Skulduggery stood.
"...Skul"
She hugged her arms around stomach. He walked over to her bed and sat on the edge.
"Nightmare?"He asked
"Yep"
"Who this time?"
He was met with a silent, blushing Valkyrie.
"Wait, it wasn't about that movie we watched, 'Don't Look under the Bed' was it?"
He saw her cheeks redden, impossibly dark.
There was silence until Skulduggery couldn't hold it anymore, and he burst out laughing.
Valkyrie sat there, embarrassed, as Skulduggery's laughter shook her bed.
Valkyrie... it's a Disney, PG movie to scare little kids!" Skulduggery exclaimed as he settled his laughing.
