Dear my wonderful readers: I am so very sorry about all the crap lovey-dovey fluffy romantic crap. I was just in that mood when I wrote it. Also, I don't own anyone in this story. Except for the Elisa Thnx!
PS- I HAVE READ DARK DAYS!!!!!!
The dead girl lay on her bed, and could have been asleep if it weren't for the blood that was seeping from a wound in her chest. She couldn't have been more than 13. Her name had been Elisa Smoke, and she had been an Elemental. I had seen my fair share of dead people, but I rarely saw a dead person younger that 16. It saddened me.
I had been surprised me when Tanith had told me I was requested to check out the crime scene. It was because, Tanith had said, that the girls parents had known Skulduggery, so of course they had heard about the girl who was now his partner.
Me.
Leaving the room, I saw the girls parents on the couch, crying while answering questions for an 'Official Sanctuary Detective' who kept shooting dirty looks at me. The Sanctuary hadn't wanted to involve me, but the parents had insisted.
Tearful, the father of the girl came over to me. "Thank you, Valkyrie Cain, for coming,"
"Oh, it's fine. The least I can do" To be truthful, I was uncomfortable with other people's tears. I just didn't know how to react.
"Please, Valkyrie. I knew Skul well. I wouldn't have asked for you if I didn't completely trust his teaching. Do… Do you have any theories on who- who did it?"
I hesitated. I did have a theory. Skulduggery and I had come across a man who killed in a similar way a couple of years ago. While his victims were sleeping. One stab wound to their chest. But still…
"Sorry. I haven't been able to come up with much so far… I'll call you when I can work it out…"
"Thanks. Oh, and Valkyrie?" I had just been turning around to leave. "I believe you know my sister? Tanith?"
"Tanith? Yeah, I do. She's a good friend of mine…"
"Oh. Okay, Thanks again"
"That's fine, sir"
That sucked.
Thanks for reading.
:)
