PART 2
Val POV
I heard the wheels of the Bentley screech as it came to a stop outside my mansion. What was with Skulduggery? Was their trouble? I quickly ran down the stairs as Skulduggery ripped the door off its hinges, literally. "What's the matter with you? You really hate my door? Well, next time just tell me, instead of tearing it off." I said sarcastically.
He growled gently and gripped my arm and dragged me harshly to my bedroom. "SKULDUGGERY! IT HURTS!" I screamed tearfully. He didn't seem to register my cry and he threw me on the bed. Something was definitely wrong with him, he would never do such a thing. He sat on the edge of the bed and I stood up, fireball in my hand. He turned around sharply and I was slammed into the wall by air. There was so much pressure and I was struggling to breathe. "S…Skul…D…Duggery…I',m s…sorry" I stuttered and reached into my pocket and pressed the button in my pocket that I hooked up to his pants that will give him an electric shock when I'm in trouble. He didn't react at all and I started to panic further. This wasn't him. Then where is he? I scanned the room and saw my necromancer ring on my dresser opposite me. I focused all of my energy into the ring and I saw the shadows emerge from the ring and darted towards the fake-Skulduggery. But the other Skulduggery just caught them in his hand. I was awe in him.
Suddenly, the fake-Skulduggery was shot of his feet and he crashed through the bathroom door, I jumped up and ran to the door. But I whipped around as soon as I heard a crashing sound. I saw Caelen coming out of the bathroom and sprinting to the window. As soon as he left, I ran and looked out of the window to see Skulduggery fighting the blur know as Caelen. I listened to my impulses and jumped down to help Skulduggery. I started hand-to-hand combat with Caelen and I soon had him on the floor. I strode over to him and slapped him in the face. "How dare you! Get out of here and don't come back… or else!" I shouted at him, threatening to cry. Caelen quickly got up and ran through the trees.
My shoulders heaved in anger and I was just about to cry. I felt Skulduggery place his bony hands on my shoulders and I lent back towards him. I let the tears fall and he rubbed my arm in comfort. He rubbed the raw skin on my arm from Caelen's grip and I hissed in displeasure. He ripped his hand away and swung me around to look at him. "What happened?" He asked concerned, his skull cocked at angle. If he had a face, I knew he would be frowning. It was too much and I burst into tears. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist so he could carry me into the house. He placed me down in front of him on the couch and he knelt down in front of me, cupping my face in his hands. "Please tell me. I want to help, Valkyrie." I started to calm down and told him what happened. When I finished telling the story, he hugged me and rocked me side to side, soothing me. "I…I have something to tell you." He told me. He made sure that he was balanced on one knee and got out a box. "Val, I gave always loved you. Will you marry me, when you are ready? I mean, you don't have to marry me now but in the future?" He asked. I smiled and nodded enthusiastically.
