Hi... In a really writey mood... As my good friend munchy (China Sorrows Worshipper) pointed out I have exams and should be revising (not that I will be)... So don't kill me if I don't update for a while!
Skulduggery was pacing. He only ever paced when he was really, really worried about something. Or really, really angry. Valkyrie hoped it wasn't the first. She hated it when he was upset. At least when he was angry he just ranted for a while. When he was upset he sulked and paced, and she hated it. She didn't hate it because she loved him, why did everyone always assume that? She hated it because he was her best friend. If he was upset, she wanted to punch whoever made him upset.
Valkyrie was so lost in the world of her thoughts that she didn't even notice the fact that Skulduggery had flown away. When she came to, the living room was empty.
"Skulduggery!" She whined, "I want some food, but I can't be bothered to get it!" No reply. She shrugged, he was probably just meditating.
In actual fact, Skulduggery was soaring above the clouds, at hundreds of miles an hour, heading towards Serpine's castle. All he could think about were how the woman he didn't remember had the same eyes as China, and had felt the same as China had when he had had affairs with her... Before he found out. There had to be some link. He was a detective, for God's sake!
Hearing a bird squawk, he looked up, just in time to see the stone bricks of the castle inches away from his face. "Sh**!" Skulduggery let loose a stream of swear words as he smashed into the castle wall and crumpled on the floor. So much for making a subtle entrance... was all he could think as he drifted into un-conciousness.
Another shortie... But will hopefully update soon xx
