OK. I admit it. THAT was mean. Sorry…

Ghastly's p.o.v

We jumped up. Tanith went paler than she was already was,

"What do we do?" she squeaked.

In all my years I had never come across a heart failure.

"Skulduggery?" I questioned.

What he suggested was terrifying.

"Someone needs to give her mouth to mouth." Those empty eye sockets seemed to drill into me, "Ghastly. Please. Val's life is at stake here she won't mind."

I wanted to argue, it would be wrong, a man as old as me putting my mouth to hers? The thought sent a shudder up my spine. But she needed me. Val couldn't have her best friend do it and Skulduggery didn't have a face. I nodded and went to her side.

Tanith spoke up.

"Imagine you're kissing me…"

That shocked me. Tanith must have known all along.

I leant forward and put my mouth to hers. I closed my eyes and did it.

An hour after the kiss of life.

"I can't believe you actually fainted!" Val cried.

I shook my head. I couldn't believe it either.

As soon as I had breathed life into her damaged lunges and the heart monitor beeped again, a wave of dizziness had hit me. I remember swaying on my feet and then the next thing I knew I was laying on the floor with a worried Tanith and Skulduggery looking down on me. By the way Skulduggery held his head- I could tell he would have been smiling his face off if he even had one.

So, when Valkyrie had woken up, Skulduggery had of course revealed the whole thing.

Val almost looked back to normal, laughing, joking and smiling. The only problem was when she laughed, the pressure on her lungs made her wince. This scared me. Damaged lungs were serious and took a long time to heal. I hoped Nye could help her.

Nye walked in the room.

"Oh." It sighed. "I thought that alarm meant she had died. Oh well, I better tell you what's going to happen..."

"No, you're not," Val interrupted, "If you're going to tell me that I'm going to die, I want someone human to do it."

The out burst surprised me, if what Val said was true, the damage must be bad.

Nye seemed shocked too. It nodded and walked out the room. Once again, silence consumed us.

Oh Val, only you would say that. REVEIW PLEASE!
