Hello to all. Well I told my dad about my account on FanFiction, he loved it, but he commented on the fact my name is unisex. And now I'm worried about if you think I'm a girl or a boy, I assumed you would all know my gender. I would like to make it clear, THAT I AM A GIRL! A very attractive girl, if i do say so myself!

Enjoy! Forgive the spelling mistakes, my dads computer doesn't have word. ;-)

(Valkyrie's flashback)

Valkyrie was sitting on the table in ghastly's workshop. Since he had moved to the santury and sold his shop he had one room dedicated to his cloths. Valkyrie had grown out of her boots and Ghastly was making her some new ones.

As he usally does, he was telling her a story.

"And then my mother hit him round the head with a pan." He finished.

Valkyrie laughed. "Your poor dad!"

"it took him weeks to recover."

"You don't talk about her often." Valkyrie said softly.

"Because it still hurts." He replied.

Valkyire frowned. "Even after all this time?"

"No, the fact that she died, that doesn't hurt anymore. It's…how he died."

"Lord Vile."

"Not that. When I say she went up agansed Lord Vile alone, I mean alone. She bleed to death in the middle of a field on her own, there was nobody there to hold her, wipe tears from her ckeecks and tell her everything was going to be OK."

His eyes were suspiciously bright.

"I'm sorry."

"My name is Rita. You look beautiful val, a little different than in my dreams though."

"You know who I am." Getting over her flashback and lowering her bow and arrow.

"Of course."

"Do you know why I'm here?"

"Yes."

"I need to find Katharine."

"No." Rita replied.

"No?"

"You need to find Skulduggery."

"I do?"

"You do."

"Ok then!"

"But that will have to wait I'm a fraid."

"Why?"

"Because some of Molvents men are running trough this forrest right now, so you need to run, in that direction." She pointed left. "Very fast."

"Are you going to be ok?"

"Don't worry you'll see me again. Quickly now they are gaining fast."

Valkyrie ran, and ran, slipping on wet soil and branches wipping past her. She listened for sounds of pursuit and frowned when she couldn't hear any. It was odd, Rita had said they were catching up fast, shouldn't they be close to her now?

Valkyrie broke past the tree line and stopped. She looked back and frowned, there was no one after her, so why did Rita sent her running.

She turned round just in time to see a fist heading towards her face. She gasped and ducked just in time. She lashed out and sruck her attackers knee, he grunted in pain.

Valkyrie grapped his arm when he tried to hit her again and caught sight of something shiny inside his jacket. A gun. A revolver.

Valkyrie let go of his arm and backed away. "You're S-"she stared but was cut off when Skulduggery's foot slammed into the side of her head. She was knocked off her feet.

Valkyrie's head was spinning and she was fading fast. Just before she passed out she heard Rita's voice. "Stop…she's..Our…side."

And everything went black.

I Know! It's sooooo Good.
