Skulduggery p.o.v
Waiting for Val to wake up was torcher. It was even worse than having the burden of Lord Vile resting on my shoulder bones.
Valkyrie was scarcely breathing and each time the heart monitor beeped, my breath (well, imaginary breath that is,) caught in my throat (Don't say I haven't got one of them either!) I just wished that this deathly pale girl would suddenly sit up and laugh when she saw our worried expressions, wished that heart beat that was so faint, would grow stronger. But being so undeniably clever, I knew that it was a long shot.
We were sitting beside Val's bed in hard wooden chairs. The room was silent apart from Valkyrie's weak breathing.
We had been sitting here for just over an hour and several times, Tanith burst into a fresh flood of tears. Every time this happened- Ghastly put a comforting arm around her and pulled her into a warm hug.
Inside my skull- I smiled. Ghastly and Tanith made a good couple, before long wedding bells could chime. I let my mind wander off at the thoughts of a wedding. I hadn't been to one since I had got married. To be honest, I don't think I've even stepped inside a church since my wedding either.
A sudden beep woke me from my thoughts.
The heart monitor was showing signs of improvement. I heard Tanith give a sigh of relief and Ghastly grinned. It seemed Val would pull through after all. Later I would hit myself for thinking such stupid thoughts. Soon we would be back in action.
Another beep cut through the moment. The monitor said that all heart beats had stopped.
He He He… I'm feeling evil- making it all happy then breaking it up. That's how I write baby!
p.s sorry if it's a little mean... review? please? do u want life or death?
