Skulduggery Pleasant & the Remnant jewel.
A/N.. This is my first fanfic, like ever, not only on FanFiction, but ever. Um, this story is a short-story. Its after Death Bringer and just before KOTW, so Valkyrie's 17?
Disclaimer- i sadly do not own anything about this other than the story line and the character Mr. Kerith-Blu Shade.
Anyways, thank you and PLEASE R&R! :) LH.
Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain watched as people stopped and stared at the car they were in. The 1954 Bentley R-type Continental one of only 204 ever made slowly made its way through the dirty street and stopped when it came up to the only hotel on the block. Valkyrie got out first and began walking to the building and Skulduggery followed. He had his facade on and he stared at her. "You do know that i am the one in charge of this little mission, not you?" he grumbled behind her as she opened the door.
Valkyrie turned her head and grinned at him.
The mission they were on was to gather information on the Remnant Jewel. They had come across this when China, though hated she was, came up to Valkyrie one day with a large leather book labeled simply 'Remnants'. Inside was things written about Remnants that no other book in the world would possess. China had said she had gone through a great deal to get this book when she handed it to Valkyrie. Valkyrie had smiled but said nothing before she walked away to find Skulduggery and Ghastly.
Valkyrie and Skulduggery needed to find a man called Kerith-Blu who was said to know the current whereabouts of the Jewel. The only information they had so far was that it was green and not in Ireland. To get this much information they had to punch several people, break into four houses and have Valkyrie lose a nail. It had been very dissapointing to only recieve that much, but when Valkyrie found out that they'd be going to Australia if they got the right information tonight, she smiled.
Now, trudging around the lobby of the hotel while Skulduggery talked to a worker, Valkyrie was pleased to know that they were probably going to Austalia within the next 24 hours. Skulduggery gave a curt nod to the man and turned back to Valkyrie.
"He's upstairs, but i dont think he wants to see us." Skulduggery said pushing past her to the man who had turned around when he saw them.
"Hey! Hold up!" Valkyrie shouted as the two men began sprinting up the stairs while she was still in the lobby. Valkyrie ran into the stairwell and looked up just as Skulduggery came flying over the sixth floor railing and crashed back down at the bottom of the stairs. Valkyrie looked at him for a second before leaving him and running up the stairs. This is tiring, she thought as she continued to run up the stairs. She grabbed the railing and hoisted herself onto it. She balanced herself and jumped. Oh God, oh God, oh God!, Valkyrie mentally screamed to herself as she was falling. Then she focused and felt the connection between the palm of her hands and the air and she pushed. She shot up, proppeled by the air and went up three floors and laned right behind Mr. Shade.
A/N: Yeah, as you can see i have edited this chapter... I hope its better with the corrected grammar and things fixed. PLEASE tell me if you want to be a character in my story for when they go to Australia. PLEASE R&R!
