Chapter 1
"Scaring People and Hair Gel"
The first thing Valkyrie Cain heard when she awoke on the twentieth of December was. Of Course ...Rain!
"No surprise there then." she murmured "Stupid Ireland and its stupid Irish weather."
She pulled off the covers and put on her dressing gown and her slippers. After brushing her hair and her teeth she headed downstairs and into the kitchen where her mother sat at one end of the table feeding Valkyries three year old sister Alice and her father sat at the other end of the table reading the started searching for food. After a few minutes she came up with nothing other than toast. She put it down in the toaster and went to leave the room but she stopped at her father's chair.
"Dad go to the shop and get me some food." she ordered and walked up to her room. She started looking around for some clothes. While doing so she found a picture of her, Tanith, Skulduggery and Fletcher at the beach. Ghastly had taken a picture without anyone realizing it.

"Go away!" she groaned pulling away. Fletcher frowned
"Fine goodbye!"
And with that he knew her boyfriend of six months too well to know that his absence was only temporary, so she took advantage of that and pulled on her ripped skinny jeans, the tank top that Fletcher liked on her and her high tops. As soon as she had opened the door of her room, she heard the doorbell ring followed by her father groan as he stood up
