Tanith was tied into a bound chair, struggling, hissing at Valkyrie.
"Let. Me. Out." Tanith spat
"Umm, how about no, you just stay tied Up. Fair deal?" Valkyrie asked sarcastically
"Yeah sure, but I'd like to see you tie a remnant up." Tanith laughing. At that moment Valkyrie immediately stepped back.
"You wouldn't." Valkyrie said calmly.
"Oh but I would." a smirk seeping across Tanith's once perfect skin, which now was covered with pulsating black veins.
"No, you wouldn't. Remember what happened last time?" As Valkyrie said this the black veins on Tanith's face withdrew, "oh yeah that's right, I would torture you, or rather Darquesse would torture you."
"No please don't, I'll, I'll, I'll go back to the receptacle, anything just please, no."
"But that would be too easy" Valkyrie hissed these words, a tone she had never heard her voice in before.
Valkyrie left the interview room to find Skulduggery waiting for her outside.
"Well I've never seen you like that" Skulduggery said in disbelief.
"Well, you know, I was in the zone."
"I saw" as he said this he bumped her with his shoulder, leaving her giggling
"Listen, Skul, umm, about the other night."
"Yes."
"Well, I'm sorry."
"Why are you sorry?"
"If I well, made it awkward. Is it, you know, awkward?"
After she said this skulduggery activated his façade then grabbed her face and pressed his lips against hers.
"That answer your question?" He said smirking.
"Umm, didn't quite catch your answer." Valkyrie said hoping for another kiss.
"No, it's not" Skulduggery said teasing.
Valkyrie sent him a scowl, and then sent her hands up his shirt to find his façade, when she had activated it. She withdrew her hands running them back over his empty ribcage, and then she grabbed his face and pressed his lips against hers once more. A kiss that lasted a few seconds felt like it lasted a lifetime. As they both withdrew they pressed foreheads and simply smiled.
