Chapter 3
Fletcher
"Hey Val" he shouted to Valkyrie as she left the canteen. Making her jump, she turned and glared at him.
"Yeah?"
"I was wondering... Well I said to Tanith I would ask, but is she allowed the key to Ghastly's place?" she looked shocked.
"Ummmmm, I think Skulduggery has it I'll ask him."
"Thanks"
"Where is going to be?"
"I think she's going to see Ghastly" he mumbled quietly
"Okay I need to say Goodbye"
"Goodbye?"
"I'm moving away for a while"
"Why?" Shocked
"Because I did thinks I'm not proud of "
"We all did Valkyrie!" his temper was rising at the fact she was leaving.
"Oh what did you do Fletcher!" her temper was rising as well as she poked him in the chest.
Her question had him stumped he hadn't done anything he would regret, but then neither had she, had she.
"Well what did you do?" she asked him again
"Nothing that I would regret" he said firmly "And neither did you"
She faltered at his words he hadn't seen.
"I did" she whispered looking at her boots, making his temper dissipate.
"Whatever you did, you did to save everyone" she looked up at him and there were tears in her eyes.
"It's not the point! What I did I'll never be able to take back" she snapped
"What did you do? If it's so bad What did you do?"
"I killed Alice" she muttered
"No you didn't, She's in there" he said pointing in to the canteen "With your parents" he felt sorry for her.
"No I brought her back after"
"Well that makes you a better person, if you were bad you wouldn't have brought her back"
"No, if I was a good person I wouldn't have killed her in the first place"
That had him for words, she had a point.
"Live in the fact that she's alive now, if anything relish in that"
"I can't look at her without thinking about what I did" she paused "That's why I have to leave" with that she walked off down the corridor.
"Don't forget to ask Skulduggery" he shouted after her.
