Chapter 1- I'll always love you
Valkyrie Cain sprinted towards the portal. The tears were already swelling in her eyes. She knew she wouldn't make it. But she had to try. She launched herself and managed to grab skulduggery's hand, but the faceless one pulled him in and her hand slipped out of his.
'Skulduggery!' she yelled and then she whirled to china that was silent. Staring at the spot where she had last seen skulduggery. China hadn't loved him. Ha hadn't loved her. But she had known him longer than she had known anyone else and now he was gone. Just like that.
'Please china!' do something! Valkyrie was shouting. Chinas eyes flickered to the child. Her eyes where filled with desperation and tears. China felt sorry for this child. Skulduggery had loved her. She knew he couldn't live without her. She knew that Valkyrie couldn't live without him. They where made for each other and now both their futures where ruined.
China lowered her head and shook it.
'I'm so sorry Valkyrie, I can't do anything.' China said softly, looking into the Childs desperate eyes.
Valkyrie turned to Fletcher, whose face was stunned and hurt.
'Fletcher please, open the portal!' Valkyrie shouted.
Fletcher also knew the secret love skulduggery and this pretty girl had had for each other, he didn't want to hurt her.
He didn't say anything. Just lowered his head and sighed a shaky sigh.
Valkyrie fell to her knees, her head in her hands and she cried as rain fell from the gray skies. She had loved him, and always would. And she was going to get him back no matter what. But for now, her determination had left her, and she was weak and depressed, her best friend, big brother, partner and hero, was gone.
