Skul's human and Val's 20
SERPINE DIES (AGAIN)
Skulduggery and the Dead men were all shackled to the wall, their magic bound and just finishing being tortured. The pain was unbearable for all of them but the most painful thing was hearing val's pained screams and cries from the next room. They had been split apart, Valkyrie in one room and the Dead men in another, they hadn't seen her in two days and were petrified to see what they had done to her. They would hear her scream and cries for at least two hours everyday but couldn't do anything to help.
"What the HELL are they DOING to her!?" Shouted Dexter, he had admitted that he had a crush on Val, he never got to tell her how he felt and was afraid that he never would.
Suddenly the door opened and entering in a comfortable air was Serpine.
"Serpine." Skul snarled in a low, dangerous voice.
"No need to be so serious Pleasant." He practically spat his name.
"Bring the girl in." He said.
Just then, a seven foot tall man covered in muscle entered the room dragging a girl along behind him by the hair. The Dead men immediately recognised her as Valkyrie.
"Valkyrie!" Dex cried. He didn't get a reply.
They tied her onto a chair with rope when the dead men noticed she was unconscious and drenched in her own rose-red blood. Serpine clicked his fingers and she awoke.
Her head lifted up and her chocolate brown eyes snapped open. She took long deep breaths as if she had been deprived of oxygen.
"And I'm awake, oh hi guys." Valkyrie said.
"She seems oddly unfazed." Skul muttered
The guard left the room leaving Valkyrie and the Dead men.
Suddenly, Serpine brought out an M9 army knife and held it to Valkyrie's throat.
"DON'T TOUCH HER!" Shouted Skulduggery.
Tears started to roll down Dexter's face. Serpine pushed the knife further onto her skin where blood started to trickle out.
"Any last words to say?" Asked Serpine.
"Valkyrie, listen to me, I'm so sorry for all of this, I didn't mean for this to happen but I'll be with you soon okay? I'm so sorry." Skulduggery said breaking down and crying.
"S'okay Skul." Answered Val.
"Promise me something though, remember that we all love you, okay?"
"I know Skul, I love you all too," she replied "And Dex, I know you have a crush on me, and I like you a lot to Dex, I love you."
Dex went bright red whilst tears masked his vision.
"I love you to Val." He said smiling through his tears.
"One more thing my loyalest combat accessory ," Skul laughed, "Close your eyes for me, Val, be brave."
"Of course Skul." Val said laughing through tears.
The dead men closed their eyes, waiting for Valkyrie's death but the only thing they heard was Serpine's scream, they all opened their eyes to find Valkyrie killing Serpine with Necromancy. The young sorceress had her eyes open pouring all of her magic into her necromancer ring. Slowly Serpine was reduced to a pile of dust.
"They must have not bound her because they thought she wasn't a threat." Skul said, shocked.
"Boy how wrong they were." Said Ghastly with a wide smile on his face.
Valkyrie burnt through the rope that tied her to the chair and stood up. She undid the locks on the Dead men's shackles by using an adept trick Tanith had taught her. She was immediately bundled into a bone-crushing hug by the dead men with skul leading it.
Val walked up to Dexter, and smiled at him.
"Hi Dex ho-" Her sentence was cut short by Dex kissing her softly, they broke away and grinned.
