May I just remind you guys, I have never done fan fictions before so please be positive in reviews:) I will gladly accept any criticism and embrace it to make my stories better.
Skulduggery's P.O.V.
We ran after him...
Gordon was in Val's room, floating by her desk. Val's room had red velvet painted walls, a black feature wall as well as a black ceiling. She had dark purple duvet covers and pillows on her queen size bed. There was also an on suite bathroom with beige tiles covering the walls. Back in her room there was a wardrobe next to her desk which I was now standing next to. I looked down and there was a letter addressed to me and Gordon. I looked up to the echo of Gordon and said "Can I open it?" I know it was addressed to both of us, but Gordon couldn't actually touch it so I offered to do so. Inside there was a note which said:
Dear Skulduggery and Uncle Gordon,
By the time you're reading this, I will be long gone. I am not sure when I will return but when I do, please don't ask what I have been doing. I am sorting out some personal matters that need to be done alone. Also don't go looking for me. I am perfectly safe as are you now. Your probably wondering what I mean by that. Well, let's just say whilst I was here I was putting all your lives at risk. And now that I am gone for the time being, you will be safer. Now the next bit I write is manly for Skulduggery's eyes, you can read this as well if you want Uncle Gordon, but you don't have to.
Skulduggery, whilst I am away I want you to know that I will always be thinking about you and that no matter what, you must promise to NEVER go looking for me. Nothing good will come out it. If you do chose to look for me before I have finished my mission, then I will die. What I have chosen to do was my choice and my choice alone. You can't trace me in anyway and watch over me either. I have destroyed my phone and have already said goodbye to my family, they think I am dead now. They will be holding a service for me in about a week's time. I don't mind if you want to go, but just so you know you won't find me there. You can also not tell my family that I am alive because that will just complicate things. I am sorry that this has to be done. But please don't worry. I will come back when I am ready. I will even give you heads up when I do come back. Just whatever you do. DON'T LOOK FOR ME!
Lots of love
Valkyrie
Xx
P.S. Please send my love to Tanith and the rest of the dead men.
Finally, after reading the letter I looked up at the others with what I wanted to be tears in my eyes (eye sockets) and said "She's okay but is also gone. I don't know how long Val is going to be away for and we must not look for her!" everyone nodded in agreement.
Valkyrie's P.O.V.
I was sat in the back of a taxi after leaving China's basement. I had just received a symbol by her to disguise myself when I wished to hide myself. I had got it done on the back of my neck, where there were no scars, and the area was still rather tender to the slightest touch. I was thankful that it had worked properly. Also, it gave me a different face each time I activated it, therefore it would be nearly impossible to track.
Suddenly, the taxi stopped and I looked up to find a person standing in the middle of the road. I had never seen them before, but I still wasn't going to leave anything to chance. I pressed the symbol on my neck which changed me so that I was now a girl with brown skin and brown hair with a lot of freckles. I turned to the taxi driver and said "I think I will get out here if that is okay." I paid him the money I owed him whilst ignoring the look he was giving me to see a completely different looking person in the back of his car.
I stepped out of the car and looked in to her eyes. One of her eyes was a dark brown the other was emerald green. Slowly, we both walked to the edge of the road to allow the traffic to move on. Once we were about a metre apart I asked "Who are you?" She looked at me.
"You are not what I expected... my name is Polar Crystal... You are Valkyrie Cain?" she asked which took me back a little. How did she know who I was and how do I not know her.
"Don't worry... I am a sensitive as well as a time traveller." Polar said, which I guess made more sense now.
"Oh, okay, yes I am Valkyrie Cain but please be quiet, I would rather no one hear us." I replied, whilst trying to keep my cover.
Fair enough, by the way I love the façade, I just read your mind. And I am talking to you in your mind so that no one can hear us like you asked. Just think what you want to say and I will get the message. Quick question why is your subconscious talking to me and not you?Polar asked me.
'I'd rather not explain, if that's okay with you. So what do you want?' I thought.
I need you to come with me.She led me down the pavement until we reached a café and we entered. Both of us ordering a coffee and we sat at a table. So I need to send you into the past. It is a fixed point in time that has to happen. I hate to tell you but if you don't then you will lose most if not all the friends you have here.
'Why do I have to go now? I need to finish this mission first. If I don't everyone will be in a lot of danger.' I thought again.
Don't worry about that. I know as a fact that it is going to be okay. I have seen a seer and they have told me that everyone will be safe, because you will overcome this hurdle in the...She looked down at her watch... next 10 minutes.
'Seriously!? I thought it would take a lot longer than that. In which case I need to return to-' I started
NO! You have to back into the past otherwise you won't have anyone to go back to.She said all too seriously. I knew I had to do this. I looked down at my coffee then back up to her.
"Do I have time to finish my coffee?" I asked out loud, hopeful that I could finish it.
"NO! We must leave now." She said. She gave me a napkin and I wiped the coffee of my upper lip then took her hand and then the scenery around us changed to a field. I took a moment to take in my surroundings.
"Okay? Firstly, this is 1587. You are to attend the boarding school for talented young mages. Ummm... oh yeah... Act how you would normally BUT act helpless at first IN classes then surprise everyone with your talent. That's always funny. But act smart when outside of class, especially when you first get there. You want to make a good impression when you get there. Talk to whoever you would like. Do whatever you want, but try to follow the school rules. And finally, take this bag. Inside there is:
Your usual uniform and sport uniform, I improved them a bit to make you stand out, stationary, books, a sketch book encase you get bored, a normal book, a phone and headphones for music, but don't show anyone that. Oh and there is also your night wear, toiletries and hair stuff. There is a dress code for the hair but wear it like you would normally. Also you don't need to wear that façade. Show off your beautiful hair and stunning looks to everyone. I think that is about it... Oh, don't get scared or intimidated."
"Okay, I think I got all that. Anything else I should know?" I asked hoping there was nothing else I needed to remember.
"Yes, don't get changed now. The things you are wearing now are very good clothing. And... Are you wearing you necromancy ring?" She asked.
I held up my hand and nodded Polar then said "Good, hang on to it. You might need it. The last thing you need to do is take this." She gave me a tablet and a bottle of water. I thought, now wasn't the time to start questioning her about things.
I swallowed the tablet and everything went black...
I hope that wasn't too bad. I hope you enjoyed it. Sorry for any mistakes and I will have more stories to come.
