Val's Age: 20
Skul's Form: Skeleton with façade
Valkyrie POV
Remember that old riddle about the room with the table, saw and glue? Remember that? Well, I'm not going to ask someone that riddle anymore. Here's why…
I had been captured again by Sanguine. That's where it all started. He walked round me as I struggled at the shackles and ropes that tied me to the chair. He laughed.
"Where is that skeleton of yours now darlin'?" he drooled in this thick, Texas accent. I grimaced at him and then started to struggle more as I saw figures approaching. Dusk, Scapegrace and Thrasher. I didn't bother checking the shackles to see if they were bound. They always were. I cursed Skulduggery for being late again. Dusk laughed and leaned in closer to me so he could whisper in my ear.
"Skulduggery isn't coming to get you face it. He's too late. He will never save you nw." He whispered. I thought about it and stopped struggling. It was the truth. Dusk laughed again and lent by my neck. I braced myself for what was coming next. Suddenly, Skulduggery burst through the door being escorted by more Zombies. He was shouting and swearing at them. He glanced over at me and breathed in a sigh of relief that I was okay. The forced him into a chair and wrapped him up similar to me.
"Well, Well, Well! What do we have here?" Dusk asked mockingly, "Skulduggery Pleasant. Long Time, No See, I must say." Dusk patted my head lightly and I looked away. He continued, "Valkyrie had just given up on you. I was right you couldn't save her. Thrasher, Sanguine, Scapegrace! Time to get ready for the… torture." I flinched at the word and Dusk smirked at this. And with that all of them left.
I checked the shackles and found that they weren't bound. Stupid zombies. I quickly got up and surveyed the room. No exits. I cursed and went to help Skulduggery. He had a couple of broken ribs. I was in a worse shape. I had a broken arm, a broken rib and a shattered ankle. Those injuries were caused when they captured me and dragged me in here. I sat down in the chair and he followed soon after.
"Got a plan?" I asked him.
