Okay guts, I know I've been a total bitch leaving you hanging for the last few months but my email hasn't been working and so the site wouldn't let me post. But it's all fixed now so I should be able to update!
'Be our guest' Valkyrie muttered….
Valkyrie and Skulduggery followed Gordon out into the hall of what looked like a castle.
'We are not where I think we are, are we?' Valkyrie asked turning her head to face Skulduggery's blank skull.
'If you are referring to Serpine's old castle lair then you would be right.'
'Oh god!' Valkyrie groaned. 'Is that smell the old Hallow Men?'
'I doubt it very much' Skulduggery replied in his smooth voice. 'I think it may just be mildew from the lower levels.'
Valkyrie hmphed and kept walking. There was no shoes to wear in the room and so she had had to walk in her bare feet. Skulduggery had shoes though. Of course he had shoes. He was so perfect and amazing that he had been given shoes. She pouted a little and stared at her cold toes as she walked.
'Why aren't you wearing shoes?' Skulduggery questioned.
'There wasn't any in the room and someone stole my skeleton bunny ones.'
'There were shoes in the wardrobe if you had bothered to look' was the snarky reply from the skeleton.
Valkyrie pouted a little more at this. Her feet were starting to become accustomed to the cold but they were still cold and she didn't like it.
Skulduggery sighed and slipped his shoes off and got down on his knees to place them on Valkyries feet.
'Thank you' she whispered and gave him a peck on his cheek bone.
'Would you two stop that and hurry up' Gordon grumbled from where he stood at the end of the corroder.
The pair started walking again and because Skulduggery's shoes were too big for her, Valkyrie tripped more than once.
Once they reached the end of the corroder Gordon opened a large set of double doors and announced to an empty room the Master and Madam Pleasant had arrived.
Valkyrie couched at this and exclaimed a very shocked 'WHAT?!'
But by this time Gordon had disappeared out the door and Valkyrie turned to face the room.
'You' she said, her voice laced with venom.
'Me.' Replied Serpine.
'And me' said Sanguine coming up from the lower level bringing with him that god awful stench.
'And me.' Said Dusk as he appeared from the doors behind Valkyrie.
'Oh great!' grumbled Valkyrie. 'A foe reunion. This won't end well from someone. And that someone better not be me.'
And just as she finished her sentence a familiar pop sounded from behind her.
Valkyrie froze. Flashbacks played themselves through her head as a wet kiss was planted on her cheek.
'Miss me, Val?' Fletcher asked.
And I'm going to leave it there! I've had a lot of school work to do so I haven't relly had time to read the new Skulduggery book but I'm about a sixth of the way through so no spoilers!
