This one doesn't have Skulduggery in it but... :) Well you'll have to read it to find out! :P
"The first hole is always the hardest." Zigzag told Valkyrie as they walked towards the area they would be digging in.
Stanley thought Valkyrie wouldn't be able to get up in the morning. He thought she would complain every few seconds, but she woke up easily, she didn't even get annoyed at the horrible breakfast.
Valkyrie had sat up tall and eaten all her food, ignoring the looks everyone sent her.
The boys had given her X-ray's old shovel. He had always claimed it was shorter than the others.
They had started digging when Valkyrie finally said something.
"It's so hot." She moaned.
"Is it cool where you live?" Magnet asked instantly.
"It rains almost every day." Valkyrie smiled slightly.
"Wish it would rain here." Zero muttered.
The boys all thought Valkyrie would be last to finish her hole, but she was the third one to finish. Zero had finished his hole, but he waited with Stanley till he finished his. Zigzag had finished his and spat into it before leaving.
Valkyrie pulled herself out of her hole and she spat into it before she walked off.
A girl had finished her hole faster than Stanley, Twitch, Armpit, Squid and Magnet; five hardened criminals.
xXxXxXxXx
When the other boys had finished they walked into the rec room.
Valkyrie was sitting on the upside down couch. She had pulled her upper body out of the overalls. She wore a white tank top under it.
Stanley couldn't believe her muscles. Her arms were thin but completely ripped. No wonder she'd finished so quickly.
"How'd you go? Finishing your first hole?" Stanley asked remembering his first time digging.
"It's different to what I'm used to, but was kinda fun. I mean who doesn't like digging a massive hole?" She laughed and smiled. Smiling suited her, but no one liked digging holes.
"We have counseling tonight. Mom will be waiting for us." Stanley told the others and they all went back to their tent.
When Valkyrie entered there were chairs placed in a circle. One for every person in the tent. She sat between Stanley and Twitch. She didn't like the look of Mr Pendanski. He reminded her of Davina Marr and Crux.
The thought of those two detectives made her scowl.
"So, when you boys and girl leave camp you'll be back in the real world. What are you going to do there? What do you want to be when you grow up?" Mom asked the group and they all looked at the ground.
"Stephanie, what career are you going to pursue?" Mom turned to Valkyrie and everyone started listening more intently.
Valkyrie lifted her head high. "I'm going to be a detective."
Mom smiled like he was hoping this would happen.
"I think it's hard for you to get any job to do with the law. I mean after what you did."
Everyone's heads snapped towards Valkyrie.
"What did you do?" Zero asked cautiously.
"I was caught."
"Doing what? What were you charged with?" Mom asked forcefully.
Valkyrie took a deep breath trying to calm the anger growling inside her. I'm not allowed to punch him. I'm not allowed to punch him. She repeated it over and over again in her head.
"I was charged with murder. The only mistake I made, was being caught." Valkyrie said through clenched teeth.
"So you're a murderer. They don't let murderers be detectives." Mom said with fake sympathy.
Valkyrie stood up sharply.
"I'm not a murderer. Psychopaths are murderers. I prefer being called a killer." She glared at him.
"Killers are psychopaths. Killing someone is not allowed in our society."
"Self defense and to protect someone is a good enough reason." Valkyrie defended herself.
"You're just trying to justify the crime you've committed."
"I AM NOT!" Valkyrie yelled before throwing the wooden chair across the room and straight into Mom's face.
Valkyrie turned and left before she could be yelled at. She went to the showers, where it was quiet, and cried.
She wished he was here. She wished he would tell her it was going to be alright. She wished he could tell her she had no choice but to kill Solomon Wreath.
