A/N: I don't own Valkyrie or Wreath.
I took my ring off the rose and slipped it on, then turned as shadows gathered and Wreath appeared. "With my apologies, Valkyrie." He gestured to the rose. "I did something to scare you today, and for that I apologize." He said.
"Um, no, it was me, actually. It's just that song..." I trailed off, embarrassed.
"Yes?"
"Um, is sort of stalkerish."
"And you thought I planned it?" He sounded shocked.
"Well, um, you've never seen the video?"
"Not that I recall. Why are you turning red?"
"Never mind?" I tried, but Wreath just stared at me. "OK, but you asked for it." I dug out my mobile, wondering why he didn't have his, then grabbed my protective clothes and went back into the bathroom and hastily dressed. Knowing Wreath he wanted to go out training. I swore he never slept.
By the time I came out he looked thoughtful. "Necromancy? Check. Cane? Check. Ability to terrify students with stalker songs? Check." He said then laughed. He held his arms out and I ran to him and hugged him.
"Sorry, Solomon." I apologized.
"No need. No wonder you fell out of the car." He said, clearly amused, then wrapped his arms more securely around me and shadow-walked us to an isolated area to do our nightly training.
I looked at the abandoned house before us in the middle of nowhere. "That house is haunted, isn't it?" I asked as we parted.
"I hope so. Well, let's go inside and we can see what your training has done for you so far." He said dryly and I knew he was still laughing at me in his own way.
"I'm going to decapitate you, Wreath." I growled.
"Solomon. And you wish." He said as we faced off. "Your weakness is that you'll never draw on the worst suffering in a location, Valkyrie. It's already happened. I don't see what your problem is." He launched darts of shadows at me that I easily deflected.
"Good, but we do this every night, Valkyrie. Do you think you're ready to summon the dead to you?"
Stalker songs and asking her to raise the dead. Wreath just adores Valkyrie, doesn't he?
