Skulduggery Pleasant and the curse of the immortal dead

by Sapphire Iota

Skulduggery only wanted her to go to school for one day. And look what happened. Mind-readers, dead people, disciples of the Faceless Ones and a curse. Oh, and Skulduggery has one week to save Valkyrie. How will the duo make it out of this one? (Not abandoned, I swear.)

A/N Hi! This is my new story. It's only my second ff, I'm nervous. I don't own anything except Kate Katt, otherwise known as Kitty/Kit, and Liaf (Pronounced Leaf) Everling. I wish I owned Skulduggery Pleasant :( Please R+R! It makes me happy!

With a groan, Kitty rolled over and hit her alarm clock. Unfortunately, she missed, and the clock fell off the bedside table.

Scowling, Kitty rolled out of bed and stepped on it, crushing it.

Beee-eeeeee-eee-eee-eeep.

It finally shut up, and Kitty sighed with relief as she flopped back onto her bed. She was so tired. Why couldn't she sleep for once, rather than going to school? Monday mornings sucked.

"Ki-tty! Breakfast!" her mum yelled up the stairs.

Kitty groaned and rolled back off her bed. "Coming!" she yelled back grumpily.

Kitty pushed open her grey classroom door. There was a register on the desk and she put a tick next to Katt, Kate. She dumped her bag on her hook and looked around the grey classroom.

"Over here!" called a voice behind her. Kitty spun around to see a brown-haired boy leaning against the lockers. A smile broke across her face.

Liaf padded over, his green eyes sparkling, either with amusement or mischief. Probably both, knowing him.

"Hey, Kit."

She lightly punched his arm. "Don't call me that."

He laughed. "Fine. Did you do the History homework?"

Kitty shut her eyes and groaned. "Talk about something else. Anything else."

"Have you found your dance ticket?"

She opened her eyes, to see him trying not to smile.

"Liaf Everling, I swear…"

His smile spread. "I was about to offer to help you look later…"

She rolled her eyes. "Sure you were."

Leaf looked mock-offended. "Was that sarcasm?" he frowned.

"Actually, yes, it was," she teased.

"Good," Leaf replied, "Or I'd have to question your mental health."

Kitty started to laugh, and then the door opened and her other best friend walked in.

"Hi! Over here!" she cried to the girl, who walked towards them, brushing strand of dark hair out of her brown eyes.

"Hey, Kitty! Hi Liaf," Stephanie Edgley replied with a bright smile.

Hope you liked it :) Even if you didn't, please tell me in a review :)

Liaf is a Scandinavian name, please don't call him 'Li-afe,' or I will have to kill you. Leaf.
