Fletcher's revenge
Valkyrie's POV
1 month, that's the amount of time Tanith has been 'saved' from the Remnant for, in this time we have been; shopping, training, film-watching, people-watching, sleeping and generally relaxing. Even I had found myself distant from, well everyone else...
Fletcher's POV
As someone nudged my shoulder, I became aware of where I was. A bench. In a park. In Ireland I guess from the park keeper's accent as he shouts at me to "go find a hole to die in." Just how I want to start my day. I get up and wander around town in search of food. Even though I dumped Valkyrie, I can't bear to leave the area around her. It's all her fault anyway as she kissed that Vampire, she is such an average, twilight-obsessed, teenage brat. Going after some 'tortured' vampire. If Skulduggery and Tanith saw what she was really like they wouldn't see her as such an innocent person, they would see how selfish she really is. That's it I'll tell them, but how?
Valkyrie's POV
As I woke up in Gordon's mansion, memories of the last night came flooding back, even though Tanith is a responsible adult, she parties hard and sometimes doesn't know when to stop, my throat still throbs ever since that damn cinnamon challenge last week, I still gag every time I think about it. As Tanith stirs I begin to wonder about what we could do today, ever since we got Tanith back we have had literally no cases. I have a feeling it's because all the bad guys might know bout Darquesse but really only close friends like Skulduggery, Tanith and Ghastly know about it. Spending days being lazy is fun for a while but right now I would like something to concentrate on, 'Oh no! How do I ask Tanith that I want to stop, she will either think I can't handle it and mock me or she will be offended. But if she joined me and Skulduggery it wouldn't be any different. Wow, I really have become attached to Tanith, how does everyone else see us?'
A pillow to the face brought me back to reality as I turned to a grinning Tanith, 'God that smile...' Holy Jesus, even my thoughts scare me, I need to find a boyfriend, a better one.
Yet another pillow to the face. I really need to stop ignoring people.
"Earth to Valkyrie, you there?"
"Yup, I was just wondering about, well maybe we could get back into helping Skulduggery with cases?"
"Well, I guess we could, do you not like partying with me?" Oh God, the look on her face tore me apart
"Of course I do, it's just now we've had fun, we can go on mission together, knowing us evil guys are planning how to kill us anyway so training can toughen up and we can have more of a plan in our days rather than wake up, find food and then ride to one of your friends."
"Sure Val, let me just get ready and then let's go find Skulduggery" Tanith replied with that gorgeous smile of hers. What an odd thing to say.
General POV
As Tanith put on her leathers, Valkyrie put on her jeans and hoody Tanith had bought her. A certain ex-boyfriend tried to think of a way to embarrass Valkyrie, although his "blonde-ness" made it hard. If Valkyrie found Fletcher's plans unsettling, then she would be in for a shock when she found out about the Vampire sitting outside the window staring desperately at her, willing to be loved.
