Chapter Seven: Broken.
Skulduggery's POV.
I have to get away... He thought, I can't do this to her... She deserves somebody much better... Somebody who can make her happy and not put her in danger everyday of her life...
He started the Bentley and drove off down the road.
Valkyries POV.
Valkyrie had woken up happy. As Skulduggery had said yesterday, completely radiant. Even Tanith had noticed it. But he was gone. He'd been gone since she woke up, just disappeared. Her mood was sad now, she needed to see him. To talk to him at least about what they had both said last night.
"Is he still not answering?" Valkyrie asked Tanith when she walked into the front room.
"Um... Valkyrie he isn't coming back... I got a text after the few times I rang him..."
This was too much for her, Valkyries face fell into her hands as she felt tears sting her eyes and flow down her cheeks.
Tanith put her arm around Valkyries shoulders and sighed.
"Shhh its okay, he won't be gone for long, he'll come back." But the doubt in her voice was to strong for Valkyrie to be comforted.
She continued to cry and sob into her hands. Tanith removed her arm and murmured something about going to get her something to drink. Valkyrie pulled the blanket off the back of the old fashioned couch and sat under it. Thinking of how such a perfect night, besides the nightmares, could lead to one of the saddest days of her life.
Just then the front door opened and Fletcher walked in.
Fletcher's POV.
Seeing somebody under the blanket and hearing the watery sobs, he walked over and pulled the blanket off the persons head. He saw Valkyrie. He gasped.
"What happened Valkyrie??"
"Skulduggery's... gone..." Hearing the words out loud made her cry even harder.
Fletcher felt sorry for Valkyrie, but he couldn't help smile as he realised that he could work on being with Valkyrie, he was glad tha-
SMACK! Valkyrie had slapped Fletcher across the jaw.
"How the hell can you be smiling when Skulduggery is gone?!" Valkyrie shouted at him, fresh tears running down her face.
"I'm sorry, I was thinking about something else... I didn't mean it, I'm sorry Valkyrie."
"Ugh just shut up Fletcher."
"Please don't be like this..."
Fletcher leaned into Valkyrie and was about to touch his lips to Valkyries when
SMACK! Valkyrie slapped Fletcher again and he pouted.
"I don't feel the same way about you Fletcher. Sorry..."
He nodded solemnly and walked out of the room.
Skulduggery's POV.
He couldn't believe what he had done. He had hurt her. When he got out of the car, he punched the wall that was beside it and took out his phone, dialed the number, and waited for an answer.
Valkyrie's POV.
Nothing like somebody trying to kiss you to sober you up. She thought and sighed.
But she knew the tears wouldn't stay away. They stung her eyes again and drifted down her cheeks. Where had Tanith gone? Just as she thought about that, Tanith came through the door looking pretty annoyed and confused.
"Skulduggery called... He's coming back... He sounded like he was giving to himself to be honest."
"Really?!" Valkyries voice went high pitched as her happiness came back, but then she realised that he may not be coming back for a good reason. "Did he say why...?"
"Not really... He just said that he needed to talk to you."She said.
"Now I'm scared.." Valkyrie put her head under the blanket and tears rolled down her cheeks.
The blanket was lifted off her and Skulduggery Pleasant peered down at her.
