Chapter 1
VALKYRIES POV:
As I walked into sanctuary, I was shocked as Skulduggery walked up to me.
"Please Valkyrie, just listen to me," pleaded Skulduggery, sadness in his voice.
I just walked past him not daring to look at him. Once partners, now enemies, I thought after 20 years.
As I headed towards Ghastly's office, I walked past the infirmary, just to catch a glimpse of Kenspeckle doing what he does best, heal.
"Valkyrie!" Kenspeckle walked over to me, "Where are you heading?"
"Just on my usual visit to Ghastly, why?"
"If you were heading to Ghastly, that's fine. Just tell him that his appointment is in a few minutes, OK."
"Ok", I said with no enthusiasm at all. Now less time with Ghastly, I thought, wait did I just think that, no, I couldn't have. He wouldn't want me. I run head first into danger. But I can admit that I have a small crush on him, even to myself.
I shook myself out of my thought and found myself in front of Ghastly's office. I knocked.
"Come in," was the swift reply as I opened the wooden door.
"Val, what a pleasant surprise." I flinched at the word 'pleasant'
Ghastly saw my reaction, "Bad choice of words?" he said as I nodded. With that I burst into tears.
"I don't know why, but I'm still not over what HE did to me," I chocked through my tears. I just couldn't stand why HE would do this to me. Family was everything to me, but HE took it away from me. As Ghastly held me these thoughts raced through my head. After what seemed like a minute my tears had stopped.
"Val, why don't you sit down and we will go over this, again," Ghastly said, sadness in his voice. Pity, maybe?
GHASTLY POV:
As I watched her cry for the past four years of coming into my office. And now I feel regret of this trap.
As soon as she sat down the chair, ties wrapped themselves around her, binding her to the chair.
"Ghastly, what's going on?" Valkyrie asked worryingly, a hint of fear in her voice.
"You need to talk to him and he needs to talk to you."
She finally caught on.
"No, I will not talk to him. I trusted you Ghastly."
VALKYRIES POV:
Suddenly, the door opened, revealing Skulduggery and Kenspeckle going at each other's throats.
Why did I go to his office today, I thought. I cleared my throat and they both looked at me. Kenspeckle was astonished and Skulduggery looked satisfied.
"Well, as much as I would love to continue arguing with you Kenspeckle, I have an important matter that I need to discuss with Valkyrie. So good day to you."
"Ah, well. Ok. Anyways Elder Bespoke please come with me to your appointment."
"OK Kenspeckle. Skulduggery don't hurt her. Valkyrie, I will be back in a minute so no shouts. Ok."
I nodded in reply. When Ghastly was satisfied he left the room. As the door closed, I looked at Skulduggery with an evil grimace.
"So, why now after four years?" I questioned him.
"You don't ask the questions. All you need to do is listen!" roared Skulduggery.
I watched as he nearly threw himself at me. But stopped at the last second. "Why didn't you come talk to me, just let me explain to you why I gave her up," he said on the verge of tears.
"Ok why. Why did you give my child to Sanguine, of all people? It didn't occur to you that I would have died to save my child. MY CHILD SKULDUGGERY! YOU GAVE MY CHILD TO THE BAD GUYS TO SAVE MY LIFE? I WANTED TO DIE PROTECTING MY FAMILY FOR WHAT? WHAT DID YOU GAIN FROM LOSING SOMEONE YOU LOVE?"
"I GAIN YOU, VALKYRIE. I LOVED YOU AND I ALWAYS WILL," he answered back.
"But the question remains, Valkyrie. Do you still love me?" he said much softer. I looked into his emerald green eyes.
"I stopped loving you when you gave my child away on HER FIRST BIRTHDAY!" I yelled at him and for the second time today I burst into tears. My tears ran like streams.
All of a sudden, Ghastly came into the room to see me with red puffy eyes and probably a bright red face to. The binds had now released me and I had collapsed onto the floor tears still coming.
After a moment of thinking Ghastly shot a glare at Skulduggery he ran over to comfort me.
GHASTLY POV:
I looked over at Valkyrie, then to Skulduggery. I realised that Valkyrie was pouring her eyes out. I slid down by her side and wrapped my arm around her bringing her head to my shoulder after I shot a what-the –hell-did-you-do look at Skulduggery.
I brought Valkyrie onto my lap. Without warning she hugged me crying hard on my shoulder. All I could do was hug her back.
There was a slight knock on the door. I looked over and saw Kenspeckle standing in the doorframe.
VALKYRIE POV:
"Valkyrie, it's your appointment now, could you please come with me," Kenspeckle said. I nodded slightly and looked into Ghastly's deep blue eyes as I stood up.
As I walked with Kenspeckle I found I was liking Ghastly more and more as the day went on. His smile, his laugh, the way he cares.
The more I think about it he is way more than a dead men to me.
As Kenspeckle and I came to a stop in front of his infirmary.
"We have a new doctor, you might know her," Kenspeckle said, hint of humour in his voice. I thought it was… no it couldn't be…
"Hey big sis," said Alice smiling.
"OMG! Alice! What are you doing here?" I said running up to hug her.
"I figured I wanted to be a healer. So now I am Kenspeckle's partner in Sanctuary and I do the women's' appointments. And my name is not Alice. It's Vanessa Cain. Also I will not get taken OK. Now to your appointment."
I followed Ali- I mean Vanessa to the private room. Where she gave me my medicine and I was on my way.
3 WEEKS LATER:
It was now three weeks after Ghastly tricked me but I got over it pretty quick. Now I was sitting in Ghastly's office and I was asking to work at the tailor shop.
"Well, Val, I don't mind let me go and ask Erskine on what he thinks of it. You stay here and I will come back with Erskine in a moment."
I nodded my ok and waited for a couple of minutes. Ghastly and Erskine had just entered the room when I felt really dizzy. I went to get a glass of water when I fainted.
GHASTLY POV:
I had just entered the room with Erskine when Val had just gone and got a glass of water. Suddenly she fainted and I quickly caught her before she hit the floor.
I looked at Erskine then picked up Val bridle style and ran towards Kenspeckle.
"What happened?" Kenspeckle asked whilst I gently put Val on a free bed.
"I have no idea, she just fainted."
"I know what's wrong," Vanessa said stepping out of the corner shyly, "I gave her the wrong medicine. I-I gave her sperm."
After a few moments I spoke up, "who?"
"Yours Ghastly, it's yours."
