Chapter 1
And she woke up.
Skulduggery was knocking on her door.
"Come in!" Valkyrie Cain called.
"Good morning Valkyrie, we have a case.
\*-*/
"So let me get this straight," Valkyrie started. "This guy we're hunting just lives on this roof out in the open?" Valkyrie and Skulduggery were stood at the bottom of a high skyscraper in the middle of Dublin.
"Yes that's the gist of it." Skulduggery said.
"Then let's get started!" They splayed their hands at the same time and shot upwards.
Skulduggery landed on the roof safely but Valkyrie stopped short and was left dangling from the side. Skulduggery stooped down and lifted her up. She gave him a look of thanks. They started looking around the roof for signs of the man they were hunting. A very powerful elemental according to Skulduggery's files.
After a while without finding anything, Valkyrie looked up to find Skulduggery. She couldn't see him anywhere. She felt a change in the air pressure but before she could look around she was knocked off her feet.
Off the roof.
She knew her clothes wouldn't save her from this high up.
She couldn't summon her magic.
She knew she was going to die.
She shut her eyes as if she was going to sleep; only tonight she wouldn't wake up.
