I hailed a Taxi and told him to take me too Skulduggery's house. All the way I was hoping that I beat the Vampire there.
His car was the only one in the drive, I hurried up the path and knocked on his door. He wrenched it open and when he saw me standing there he widened the door and ushered me inside.
"Valkyrie, you have to understand, I... I'm sorry if I hurt you. Did I?"
Yes he did. He left hand marks on my shoulders. Kenspeckle is not going to be happy.
"Skulduggery, can we talk about this later. I have something to tell you."
"Yes. Okay tell me and tell me quick."
I was about to tell him when the door clicked open.
"Honey, I'm home!"
Damn that bitch. I looked at Skulduggery and saw his face harden. Wait a sec. Wasn't he in love with her or something?
"Hello, Darling." He said. Damn, I had gotten my hopes up too high. She walked up to him and kissed him full on. I tried my best not to gag but failed miserably.
"Don't like it when Dusk kisses you?" I snarled.
Skulduggery pulled away.
"What?" His voice cold.
"Oh isn't that cute. Little Valkyrie is jealous." She laughed. I walked up to her, grabbed her by the back of the neck and flung her across the room. Skulduggery gasped.
"So what if I am? Phoenix Fire-heart.
She growled at me and flung herself at me. He arms wrapping around my midsection and tackling me to the ground. Skulduggery appeared behind her. His hands wrapping themselves around her neck and pulling her off me.
"You do not touch my partner like that. I'm the only one to treat her with disrespect."
She whimpered and nodded slowly. That's when Dusk crashed through the wall.
Skulduggery looked up in surprise and Phoenix took the distraction. She ripped herself away from him and towards Dusk.
"As I am the only one to treat Phoenix like that." Dusk snarled.
There is a lot of snarling and growling going around. And then I woundered if Dusk really does treat her like that. Wouldn't surprise me. Cause I would to.
