Hi there, this is my first fan-fiction. I'm trying to improve my writing so if there is anything I can do to improve, please leave a review telling me so.

This fan-fiction will include FemHuman! Skul and there are mentions of torture, gore and maybe some bad language, depends what mood I'm in. Enjoy!

A week. Skulduggery had been gone for a week and they were no closer to finding her. Valkyrie paced the floor of the Bespoke Tailors with her head in her hands, silently praying that her best friend was alright.

From a distance, Ghastly watched her with concern. "Val?" he asked. He stepped towards her, stopping a couple of feet away. Val turned towards Ghastly and anger rose and clouded over her worries.

How could he stand there all calm and collected?

"What's wrong with you?" she snapped. Confusion swept over Ghastly's face for a second. "How can you just stand there while your oldest friend is out there, probably being tortured or God knows what?" Val's shout turned into a soft empty whisper. Her vision blurred and she could feel warm tears spill down her face.

Ghastly shifted awkwardly, not quite knowing what to do with the crying girl in front of her. Comforting wasn't really Ghastly's aspect. He ended up putting his arms around her. At first, Valkyrie was shocked but after a while she leaned into it no matter how weird and awkward it was. She let sobs escape her throat and tears spilled freely from her dark eyes. Her crying finally subsided after a while and Ghastly put his large hands on either side of Valkyrie's face. "Val" he said his voice slow and calm. His hand moved her head so her now red and puffy eyes looked straight into his "We will get her back, I promise".

That's the first chapter of this fan fiction; sorry it's kind of short but I felt like this was a good place to end it. Again sorry again if I messed up in places as I was watching Jesse and Crendor play Outlast. That is one scary game.
