Chapter 9
Partay – Valkyrie's POV
After everyone arrived I went to greet people while Tanith walked off.
"Hey"
"Hey Val" Fletcher said pulling me into a hug.
"How are you?" I asked him, hugging him back.
"Good, why are you having a party on a Monday?"
"Why not?"
Fletcher laughed and we talked for 10 minutes.
"Hey...umm Val...we ran out of marshmallows..." Tanith interrupted.
"It's been like half an hour, how can we already be out?" I asked looking at the now empty bowl of marshmallows. Tanith started to blush a bright pink.
"Ummmm well, you see, I was hungry and...GHASTLY DID IT" Tanith said quickly, pointing at Ghastly, who noticed. Ghastly looked at us in confusion, then back at Skulduggery.
"Well, we don't have any marshmallows left."
All of a sudden Tanith and me heard a 'pop' and Fletcher was by the empty bowl,re filling it with marshmallows. Tanith was about to to run and eat some more marshmallows when I stopped her.
"No more for you"
"But...wha-...food..." Tanith said upset and slightly shocked that she can't have any more marshmallows.
"Sorry Tanith, no more marshmallows for you."
Tanith looked around with her sad puppy dog eyes until she found something else to eat. She froze when she saw nachos and cheese.
"Oh no"
Tanith ran to the bowl and started eating the nachos and cheese.
General POV
"Why was she pointing at me?" Ghastly asked, slightly worried.
"By the looks of it, I think Tanith was blaming something on you."
"Why me, why not you?"
"Because I think she was blaming you for all the marshmallows being eaten."
"Still, why not you"
"I'm a skeleton"
"You could have stolen them to, I don't know, throw at people, to be honest I don't know what you would do with marshmallows." Ghastly grumbled.
A slower song came on and most people, who were now drunk, started dancing. Skulduggery walked up to a slightly drunk Valkyrie.
"Would you like to dance?" Skulduggery asked, holding out his hand. She nodded and placed her hand gently on his.
They walked to an empty space in the living room and started dancing. Valkyrie rested her head on Skulduggery's ribcage. She placed her left hand on his shoulder and her right hand holding his left. Skulduggery placed his right hand on Valkyrie's back and rested his skull on her head. They stayed like that for what seemed like forever but what was actually a few minutes.
"I love you" Valkyrie mumbled.
Skulduggery stiffened slightly, but before he could d anything Valkyrie gasped.
"I forgot Gordon" She said looking up into his eye sockets. She let go of Skulduggery and ran upstairs.
"I'm so sorry Gordon" Valkyrie said once she got the echo stone and started to walk back to the living room.
"How could you forget me?!"
"I'm so sorry, I was dancing with Skul a-"
"Oh,left me for a skeleton...THANKS" Valkyrie sighed and carried on walking. She placed the echo stone on a table and went to talk to Tanith.
When Valkyrie found Tanith she wasn't surprised what she was doing. Her and Ghastly were making out. 'Typical Tanith' Valkyrie thought.
"I'll just forget I ever told him" Valkyrie mumbled to herself "I mean, no one heard." Valkyrie looked around until she found someone else to talk to. She saw Dexter and ran to say hi.
"I heard" China replied soflty to herself, walking out from behind a plant.
A/N I don't know why China was behind a plant in the first place don't ask me okay, she just happened to be there when Valkyrie said 'I love you'. Lets just say she shouldn't get drunk and dance by plants, I mean I wouldn't but then again I don't dance or drink so how would I know what to do :P
