Been a while hasn't it! Was in the writing mood so go on and enjoy! :)
Valkyrie woke up with a headache. The painkillers had worn off and she was now left with hangover-like symptoms.
"Hey sleepy-head!" Someone said from the doorway next to the couch Valkyrie slept on. If her ears heard right it would have been Caelan speaking.
Caelan... CAELAN! Valkyrie's eyes shot open as she scrambled up from the couch. "What are you doing here?" Valkyrie asked.
Caelan tilted his head. Something Skulduggery did that Valkyrie knew and loved but when Caelan did it, it only made her want to throw up. His top lip curled to an evil smile. "I've come to finish the job."
Valkyrie still felt the pain in her leg. Of course she could. Why would it have miraculously healed overnight? Stupid. She couldn't put full weight on it yet so she had to be dependent on her balance.
Before she could reply, Caelan was already lunging towards her, teeth exposed and ready to pierce her skin. And pierce her skin they did. Valkyrie screeched, the sound so loud she felt as if she had deafened herself. The warmth of her blood trickled down her neck and she began to cry.
Is this really how she was going to die? After all these years of battles she was to die from a measly, heartbroken vampire?
Valkyrie. She heard her name called. What was this? Death? Valkyrie! There it was again but louder this time.
"VALKYRIE!"
Valkyrie's eyes shot open as she took in a large breath. She gripped whoever had woken her thinking it was her attacker. Her brain finally came to and she looked at who she was really gripping. Skulduggery.
"It was a just a dream," she heard him say.
Valkyrie looked around the room frantically making sure it really was just a dream then sighed with relief. Now she really felt full force of the headache. Her fingers immediately probed her temples but it did absolutely nothing.
"What happened?" Skulduggery asked.
Valkyrie just sat forward and kept her head low. She felt embarrassed because she knew the crying in her dream was real crying in her sleep. She never cried. Maybe once or twice but barely ever in front of Skulduggery.
"Just Caelan... attacking me," Valkyrie said uncaringly trying to make it seem like no big deal.
Skulduggery sat somewhat awkwardly admittedly not knowing exactly what to do in a situation like this. "I'm sorry," he managed.
Valkyrie looked up, confused. "For what?"
"For... not being there and you having to go through this pain and..." he was lost for words.
Valkyrie found herself torn. She was in pain now but what for? Her real pain from the attack or the ache of seeing Skulduggery lost for words and... vulnerable.
Helps me out a lot if you review!
