Thoughts

Valkyrie decided to just sit down and think. She had all weekend, and the house to herself. Surely she could figure this out.

And she had to stop thinking of herself as Valkyrie, she reminded herself. She was Stephanie. Valkyrie wasn't real.

So she thought.

First she came up with a brief summary of her dream. It had begun at Gordon's funeral. She had met a strange man in a coat, hat and scarf who had told her she was like her uncle. Later, at Gordon's will reading, she had discovered his name was Skulduggery Pleasant.

Since then, she had met a skeleton detective who'd taught her magic, she'd been injured, changed her name, almost died, become an excellent fighter, made friends, fallen in love, been injured again, discovered that her destiny was to kill the world, and woken up.

It had been a very long dream.

But how did it explain the memory loss?

It was so goddamn frustrating!

'Valkyrie?'

Valkyrie turned around, surprised to hear her taken name, surprised to hear anything when she'd thought she was alone. Standing behind her, looking blank and unemotional, was herself.

'Hello,' the other girl said. 'I'm your reflection...'

That was a load of drivel. :L

This chapter is quite short and boring and I don't like it but it's kind of necessary for the plot... because there is one, trust me. XD

Anyway, next one will be more exciting, promise.

Thanks so much to the reviewers :D I love you all!
