He was a really fit guy, with brown hair and the deepest of blue eyes. He smiled as he tucked some of her dark hair behind her ear then he stroked her check. His gaze lower to her lips and he slowly leaned in. "Wake up." He breathed.
Valkyrie frowned. Why was this really fit guy telling her to wake up? Where was the kissing?
"Wake up." He said again.
"No! Bugger off." Valkyrie said.
"Valkyrie Cain you get your butt moving NOW!"
Valkyrie's eyes shot open to see Skulduggery in his usual neatly pressed suit standing by her bed.
"What the heck are you doing in my house, go away!"
"The Sanctuary was broken into last night, but that's OK I'll just leave you to your beauty rest, it really is more important!"
Valkyrie sat bolt right up in bed and looked at him. "What!" she said loudly. She panicked then whispered. "Are my parents here?"
"No they left, do you really think I'm stupid enough to sneak in here and wake you with your parents in the next room?"
"Well…"
"Don't answer that."
"I was going to say no."
"No you weren't."
"Yes I was."
"Really?"
"No."
"Anyway last night the sanctuary was broken into, I don't know the details yet but Ghastly called me, wants us to come in straight away."
"Well when his majesty calls, his loyal subjects must come running." Valkyrie said sarcastically.
"Indeed."
"Turn around." Valkyrie instructed.
He nodded and turned round. As soon as his back was turned she threw a pillow at him.
"That's for waking me up!"
