Hi guys! Sorry, I had writers block and I typed out a whole chapter then deleted it lots of stuff going on. Exams mostly. But any way, this story is after death bringer and Ravel does not plan to betray them, so he's good. I'm in a great mood so expect a long chapter (for my standards)
Slytherins D : Oh my god! It's so good to meet another FOB fan! My favourite song by them is probs 'thanks for the memories' it's so good. I'm listening to Fob now, the phoenix.

Valkyrie's POV:
Skulduggery and Valkyrie sat in Gordon's living room arguing about time travel. "Of course it's real! We've seen banshees for God's sake!" yelled Valkyrie
"Just because banshees exist does not mean that time travel is real" retorted Skulduggery "I for one-"he started, but Valkyrie cut him off.
"Just because there is no actual evidence does not mean it's not real! Where do you think all these people are disappearing to, besides the person rumoured to be behind this is said to be a time traveller." Cried Valkyrie. The argument became more and more heated until suddenly, they both fell around laughing at the reason for the fight. Valkyrie could never stay mad at Skulduggery for very long and vice versa. "Ok, let's both agree to disagree, yeah?" choked out Valkyrie, clutching her ribs. They both tried to calm down and stop laughing then, fortunately got back to work.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Skulduggery's POV
Valkyrie and Skulduggery stood in the elder throne room, after being summoned by tipstaff. "Valkyrie, Skulduggery" Said Ghastly gravely, "I have some disturbing news, Time travel is real." Valkyrie shot Skulduggery a smugly triumphant glance. Ghastly didn't seem to notice, so he ploughed on "It seems that this woman, Meiyro Echo, has been taking people back to random places in history. There seems to be a pattern, going back one-hundred years each time, so the next victim will probably be sent to the 1600ish period. This is a very serious case but I have no doubt in my mind that you will succeed."Ghastly finished. Tipstaff then led them out of the throne room and Valkyrie and skulduggery were soon sitting inside the Bentley. "Ok, say it then" grinned Valkyrie
"Say what exactly?" asked Skulduggery, plainly lying
"You know perfectly well what I'm talking about, tell me I was right about time travel." smiled Valkyrie impishly.
"Fine, you were right and I was wrong, ok?" said Skulduggery grudgingly, although Valkyrie could tell by his posture that he was amused.
"That's all I was looking for." Said Valkyrie contentedly.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Valkyrie's POV
Two days later Valkyrie and Skulduggery were to be found doing their usual routine. Fighting.
Valkyrie swung a round house kick into the face of Meiyro Echo, who, unfortunately was an experienced fighter and seemed to be trying to grab Valkyrie's wrist, probably to try and bring her back in time. Valkyrie was able to deflect all the punches and kicks but couldn't seem to get her own in. Meiyro suddenly kicked up her leg and Valkyrie moved to block it, but it was a ruse. At the last moment Meiyro pulled back and grabbed Valkyrie's wrist before she could even comprehend what had happened. Then, darkness. Valkyrie was being sucked through a hole of pure darkness, and then her feet crashed into slushy mud and grass. She looked around and saw nothing but trees and field. "Oh, I guess I'm back in time." Mumbled Valkyrie, then she collapsed into a heap on the muddy terrain.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Valkyrie's POV
Valkyrie was vaguely aware of hushed voices around her. She opened her eyes a fraction and saw the figures of a small crowd of people huddled around her. "Is she dead?" asked one of the figures. "Of course not, Mr smite said she was unconscious." Replied the tallest silhouette. Valkyrie's eyes fluttered open and she looked down at herself. She was wearing some kind of dark blue old-timey dress with white lace around its bodice. Her chest felt constricted and she could barely breathe. 'Thanks to a corset most likely' thought Valkyrie, remembering her history lessons. "Are you alright? A woman brought you in saying you were her daughter and that you had passed out on the way here, you're Valkyrie Cain right?" asked a girl with white blonde hair and emerald green eyes. "Yeah, that was Mother." Lied Valkyrie, gritting her teeth. "But were am I?" she asked "Last I remembered was fighting with- oh I mean, in the umm carriage with mother."
"You're in 'The Horsenden academy of young Mages' You're the new girl here, I'm Charlena Beauregard." Said the brunette girl.
"Mr Smite said to do a test, to see if she had a concussion" Said a Charlena, "What year is it?" she asked
"Ummm..." hesitated Valkyrie
"1613" responded the brunette sounding worried. "What's your Mother's name?" asked the same girl.
"Oh, it's Meiyro Echo."Answered Valkyrie smoothly.
"One out of two, good enough for me" winked the blonde girl, Valkyrie grinned, she liked these girls, especially the blonde girl and Charlena. Suddenly, Valkyrie broke down into a coughing fit, she tried to breathe in air but her corset was making it impossible."What's wrong! Are you alright!" cried the blonde girl panicking. Then, for the second time that day, Valkyrie passed out.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Valkyrie blinked in the light and sat up. A boy about her age was leaning over her. He had floppy brown hair, high cheek bones, and intense green eyes. He was extremely handsome and a concerned look was on his face. "My friends called me, I'm Skulduggery Pleasant. Are you ok?" he asked. Valkyrie swore in her head as she felt darkness cloud her vision and then for the third stupid time she fell into unconsciousness.

Valkyrie coughed and opened her eyes, she could breathe again and instead of the long blue dress, she wore a long white night gown lined with lace that didn't cover as much as she would have liked, the neckline was extremely low for her standards. Moonlight glowed through the high windows of the room she was in, which Valkyrie took to be the infirmary. All the girls that had been by her bedside were gone and so had Skulduggery. Valkyrie pulled up the silky blankets on her bed and burrowed down, she soon fell into a deep sleep 'I didn't get much waking time today...' was her final thought that night.
Valkyrie woke up to the sound of whispering. She opened her eyes and saw the group of girls that had been next to her the day before. "Are you ok; you passed out three times yesterday." Exclaimed the blonde girl.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I don't pass out allot though, just a long journey yesterday. I'm sorry, I don't know your name" Valkyrie grinned
"oh, we'll introduce our selves, I'm Avril Fray." Said the blonde girl
"Erika Styx" said a petite dark haired girl
"China Sorrows" said an exquisitely beautiful girl, narrowing her eyes in evident distaste.
"You know China, if you don't want to stay there's this new thing, it's called leaving." Said Avril rudely. "Are you ok Valkyrie, you look pretty sick." Added Avril as China stormed away
"Dandy..." murmured Valkyrie. Trying to appear calm again. She was shaken up after seeing China as young as her. "So, can I leave now, I mean, I hate hospitals." Sighed Valkyrie
"Yeah, me too. I'll bring you to your room, you're bunking with me. Just get changed behind that curtain over there they'll be a maid to help with the corset." Grinned Avril.
Valkyrie swung her legs out of the bed and walked over to the curtain that Avril had indicated. A young woman in a maid's cap stood there with a dress, corset and all manner of 1600s clothing that Valkyrie couldn't recognise. The maid smiled at Valkyrie and helped her put on the corset and under clothes. Valkyrie gasped as the maid pulled the corset tight and tied the strings firmly. She then slipped a long floor length blue dress with pearls lining the waist and bodice. Valkyrie sat impatiently as the maid expertly braided her hair then told her that she was ready to go to her dorm.

Avril pushed open the door to hers and Valkyrie's room. It was quite lovely with blue silken bed covers and beautifully carved chests of drawers. A large window let sunlight spill into the room illuminating its beauty. "Woah!" exclaimed Valkyrie "This room is just... exquisite!" she gasped. "Isn't it just." Laughed Avril, evidently pleased at Valkyrie's reaction. "I have a feeling you'll fit in her with me and my friends, yeah, I think you will."
