Chapter 2: About the Vampires

Valkyrie was daydreaming. She wasn't paying attention to anyone. She just kept thinking about what's in the drawer. Question's all fighting to be the one she would think about. What will dad say? What will Skulduggery think? Could I tell anyone? Can I trust anyone? What can I do? Will they come for me again? In fact she was daydreaming so much she didn't hear Skulduggery, Tanith, Ghastly and Fletcher all call her name. The only thing that snapped her out of her trance was the slap around her face.

"HEY!" When she saw who it was she slapped him. "That was NOT funny Fletcher!"

"She's back," Fletcher said satisfied

"What do you mean I never left."

"Yes you did. You were daydreaming. So deep you didn't hear any of us call your name… At least five times!"

"Valkyrie are you feeling alright?" Tanith asked concerned. "You've been acting funny ever since you got back."

"I'm fine. Really. Just thinking about something."

"Would you like to talk about it?" Ghastly asked looking over to Skulduggery who hasn't said a word since he was convinced Valkyrie was ignoring him.

"No thanks. It's… complicated. I can't explain. So what did I miss."

"We were just talking about the six months you were missing," Tanith explained. "How did you survive? I mean without food and drink? Do you remember anything about that?"

Valkyrie thought about this. Really thought about this. She tried to focus more on this than on her drawer, but it was impossible as she could only remember few things about how she survived for so long without food and drink and also she hoped her dad wouldn't go in her room. There was however one thing she remembered about being with the Vampires. She wasn't the only victim there.

"There were coffins. Not like normal bury in the ground coffins but, sort of glass."

"Glass coffins? There's something you don't hear everyday." Fletcher remarked smugly

"Shut up doofus. Anyway There were about fifty maybe fifty-five other coffins with a girl in each one. There were these horrible pink dresses. With the sleeves stopping just below the elbow and dropping down like an icicle in winter. And a full skirts just brushing against your ankles. And a V neck top that come just off the shoulder. Like the one you found me in. Flowers in the hair and belt and everything. Rose pink is not my colour! Anyway there was this spell that controlled our breathing and consciousness. So when in the coffin when they kept me asleep it also meant that I would survive without food and drink for as long as I needed."

"There's more girls in there?" Asked Ghastly worried.

"Yeah. At least fifty."

"Right. I have an idea. Skulduggery, you and Valkyrie go to China's library and do some research on Ancient Vampires while Tanith and I go and talk to the Grand Mage about rescuing these girls."

"Or, why don't you go to the library and I go to the Grand Mage about taking action.?" Skulduggery asked.

"Because I think that Indie-May has seen enough of you lately. I still don't think she forgave you for shooting her back in the war."

"For the last time I fired my gun and she got in the way. It's her own fault."

"You just take Valkyrie to the library so you can get information on Ancient Vampires and I'll deal with May."
