Here is the last chapter! Hope you've enjoyed my little goose chase :) please review and tell me if it's actually been funn and please relax and enjoy this chapter!
Valkyrie's day had been ruined horribly. She spent hours screaming and cursing and swearing as Marina tried to patch her up. For some reason there weren't any painkillers on board the ship.
Finally she'd fallen asleep and only just started waking up.
The first thing she saw was gorgeous Jack Sparrow smiling down at her. She couldn't help but laugh slightly.
Pain oozed from her shoulder.
The next thing she noticed was the swaying of the boat. She could smell the salty air and smiled. It felt good to be sailing away from the horrid island.
The door opened and Skulduggery walked in.
"How are you feeling?" Concern was obvious in his voice.
"I'm feeling great. Nah not really. My arm is killing me." Valkyrie said through gritted teeth.
"Corsair was kind enough to agree to drop us off in Ireland. When we get there I'll drive you straight to the sanctuary. You'll be patched up and then you get one week holiday."
Valkyrie smiled. "Because I got bored last time?"
Skulduggery just nodded.
"What happened back there?" Valkyrie asked the question that had been plaguing her mind since she had woken up.
"I'm not quite sure." Skulduggery admitted and sat on the end of the bed. "He was just so angry and burst out. I don't understand what happened."
"He probably saved both of us." Valkyrie watched him closely for his reaction.
"Yes he did."
"Which means he saved the world."
"Yes, it does."
~*~•~*~
Valkyrie smiled as the wind whipped at her hair and they pulled up to the Ireland dock.
It was a small dock and wasn't very crowded but the few people that were there, stared at the beautiful Bentley and the strange people getting off the boat.
"You guys feel like you need protection on another adventure, you can always call on Corsair Jones." Corsair waved the strange group off.
Valkyrie had spoken with him more during the trip back to Ireland and had realized that he wasn't that bad.
"Hey," Valkyrie walked up to Aaron. Because of her arm wound and her ruined jacket she was wearing just her green tank top and jeans and boots. Her hair was messily tied on top of her head to keep it away from her shoulder and she could hardly turn her head without swearing, but even so Aaron thought she looked beautiful.
"Um, about what happened in the cave and the guy in the armor and Skulduggery,"
"Yeah," Aaron nodded waiting for her to telling her some huge secret.
"It never happened, and I mean don't think about it, don't talk about it, don't even whisper about it and under no circumstances are you to tell anyone about it for money, the life of a loved one, or under torture. Because if you do I'll make you regret it." Valkyrie threatened.
For a moment Aaron was shocked into silence. "Um, okay I guess."
"Good." Valkyrie smiled. "My parents will probably invite you over or something so, see you soon. I'd hug you if I could but," Valkyrie gestures to her shoulder.
"Of course. See ya." Aaron and Tommy Boyle walked off towards a taxi.
When Valkyrie turned around she saw Dexter Vex leaning against the Bentley and swinging the keys around his finger.
"I can't believe he drove my car." Skulduggery muttered to himself and walked over.
"So, how'd you go? Did we miss anything?" Erskine asked Dexter. Tanith, Ghastly, Ravel and Dexter were all squashed in the back of the car as Skulduggery drove them, and a half comfortable Valkyrie, to the sanctuary.
Dexter shrugged.
"Did you have a good time?" Ghastly asked.
"I had a great time." Dexter smiled way too happily.
"What happened?" Ravel asked suspiciously.
"There was this meeting. I wasn't really listening to what was being said. I didn't even know the guy's name." Dexter smiled. "Mist was doing all the talking. It was so boring."
"But you said you had a great time." Valkyrie managed to point out. Her arm was really killing her.
"Finally I interrupted him and I told him, I told him 'Freddy, you want this meeting to continue, you need to skull this bottle of whiskey.' And he went bright blue and did." Ravel groaned as Dexter explained.
"Well, I don't really remember how it all started but there was still a massive party through the whole of the sanctuary. Everyone had a good time, except the prisoners who were caught again." After a second Dexter continued. "Oh my gosh, did you know that Mist has legs. Like amazing model like legs."
Ravel opened his mouth to yell at him but couldn't really find any words. "How do you know Mist's legs are great?" He decided to address the most shocking question first. "And tell me about the prisoners."
"Well they're both kind of linked. You see for some reason this weird Irish song came on and we were all doing the Irish jig, but then one of the prisoners said we weren't doing it right. So, a fight broke out and someone opened the doors and everyone came out."
"What does this have to do with Mist's legs?" Ghastly's voice asked. He was lost somewhere in the backseat.
"Well Mist came back and started yelling at us for disgracing the name of Irish dancing. She walked into the middle of the dance floor, pulled up her robes and danced the jig amazingly." Dexter smiled at the memory.
"How many prisoners did you let out and how many were caught?" Ravel asked through gritted teeth.
"Well, we think 124 were let out and we caught 46."
"I'll kill you!" Erskine roared and started strangling Dexter.
Skulduggery took a sharp turn and Valkyrie crashed into the window.
"SKULDUGGERY," her voice was uncharacteristically high, "my arm."
"Sorry Val."
