AN: this is the future. Val's like 32, Alice is like 16 and everyone else is extremely old. My character Dyna is in it. I've read all the books, but I don't care what mr. Derek Landy says. Tanith is okay, China is excepted, Kenspeckle is alive and well, and Ryan is alive. (He's from the short story The End Of The World) I might change some other things, but for now that's it. Alice doesn't know about magic. And Alice is almost 16, not quite there. Still in war, though its died down somewhat.
Disclaimer: You really think I own anything. Buying 1 copy of the books almost left me homeless. (Jk) I own nothing! Now leave me to cry.
Chapter 1
Valkyrie Prov.
"Okay, you can stay, but don't go snooping around," I said, giving in to Alice's puppy dog face.
"Yay!" Alice said, jumping up. I laughed and grabbed my jacket.
"Bye," I said to my parents.
"Remember she goes to school at 8," mom said, as Alice ran up the stairs.
"Got it, do I need to pick her up too?" I asked.
"Yes,"
"Alright," I said, "Alice! Hurry up!"
"Coming," she said, trying to tie her brown hair up and walk down the stairs.
"Have fun," mum called, as we walked out.
"Bye!" Alice said, hoping on the back of my beautiful motorcycle. We drive to Gordon's.
"You know the rules. No open windows, no snooping, no waking me up, don't answer the door for anyone," I said, all I need is for her to be killed by some moron.
"Got it," Alice said, throwing her bag on the floor.
"And if Dyna says anything to you, run away," I said, jokingly.
"That's the crazy American, right?" Alice asked, she only met Dyna once.
"Yep, that pretty much sums her up," I said, throwing myself on the couch.
"Soooooooooooooooooo..."
"Stop it," I said, "Do you have to go to bed early?"
"Around 10ish," she said, turning on the TV.
"Okay, one more rule. Don't answer the phone," I said, looking at her seriously.
"Alright, don't give me that crazy look," Alice said, I looked at my phone. Tanith texted me.
Tanith: Kenspeckle wants you to got to his place tormarrow
Me: ok
T: and your coming to my place afterwards to get your butt kicked
M: fun, training?
T: sure if that's what you want to call it
M: gtg Alice is here
T: kay
"Who was that?" Alice asked, trying to look at my phone.
"Quite being so nosey," I said, putting my phone in my pocket.
"Was it your boyfriend?" Alice asked.
"I don't have a boyfriend," I said.
"Uh huh,"
"Don't you have to go to bed," I said, getting up.
"Meh," Alice said, walking up to her room. I sighed and walked upstairs. I checked to make sure Alice was in her room and I walked into Gordon's study.
"Hey," I said, Gordon looked up from his desk.
"Alice here?" He asked, I nodded, "I haven't seen her in person since she was a baby,"
"And your not going to see her today," I said.
"I could pretend to be a friend of yours,"
"And what if she sees a picture of you?"
"Then she'll think its amazing that I look just like the brilliant best selling author Gordon Edgley,"
"Uh huh," I said.
"She's met Tanith," Gordon argued.
"That wasn't supposed to happen either. And Tanith isn't supposed to be dead,"
"She kind of is,"
"Yes, but that's not the point," I said.
"Whatever, why'd you come in here?" Gordon asked, changing the subject.
"Did you translate anymore of Arredigons journals?" (I can't remember his name!) I asked.
"Yes," he said, "You have the ability to heal others, you can change your appearance, you'll live forever never aging, can use any adept power, any elemental power, can read minds..."
"Wait, what did you say?" I asked.
"You can read minds?"
"Before that,"
"You can change your appearance?"
"After that,"
"Your immortal," Gordon said, quietly.
"So I'll live forever?"
"Yes that's the definition of immortality,"
"Awesome!" I said, then I thought about it, "I'm going to watch all my friends die,"
"Yes, except Skulduggery and you can be killed," Gordon said, helpfully.
"It's probably not good that me being able to be killed makes me happy, is it?" I asked.
"Probably not," Gordon agreed, "Now get out. I have journals to translate,"
"It can't be that hard," I said.
"Oh yeah, what does this say?" Gordon asked, showing me a sentence.
€}^ ,~[^*£ /•¥#¥€^$.
"Uh...," I said.
"Exactly, its says the powers unlimited," Gordon said.
"Fine, I'll leave," I said, walking out of the room. I walked over to my room and went to bed.
AN: I has what's his names journal in a secret code, because what fun would it be if anyone could just read it. And every time I write in that code it changes. So that was my first chapter. The next one should be better. And if its not to you it will be to me and I'll love it. That's all that really matters, though I like when other people like my stories.
