3 Years Later...
Valkyrie was sitting in the living room of her late Uncle Gordon's house. Well now it's her house. She had moved in and was settling very well. She and Echo-Gordon had a lot of things to talk about all the time, so when she was in the house, she rarely got lonely.
But this night had been very lonely for her. This whole day had been a very lonely one indeed. For today, was the 3 year anniversary of Max's death. Every year she celebrated it by having the day off of work and relaxing. Whenever this day came, she would feel cold currents of air shoot though her whenever she started to cry or feel sad.
It was starting to get late, and all Valkyrie's favourite programs had finished. She slumped up the stairs and put her pyjamas on. The picture of her and Max was sitting on her bedside table. She looked at it and smiled. Then turned off her lamp and drifted into a deep slumber.
The zombie/vampire looked at his wrist watch. Almost midnight, Valkyrie would be asleep by now. He was thankful for the two weirdoes who saved him and brought him back to life. Their names were something like, Scapegrace and Thrasher. Yes his throat was swollen and he smelt like death but, all he wanted in his life was Valkyrie.
12 o'clock. Caelan jumped to the window in Valkyrie's new room. He opened the window with ease. He walked up to her and stroked her hair and left his hand on her warm cheek. She snuggled into it. He smiled a strange smile and picked her up. He sat on her bed and cradled her in his arms. She shivered so Caelan put the blanket on top of her. She shivered again and started to wake from her sleep. Caelan had not planned this, he didn't want her to wake up. He saw a scarf on the end of her bed. He picked it up and wrapped it around her eyes.
"W-what's going on? Who's there?" Caelan put his finger on her lips.
"Hush now, you're safe." Valkyrie sat upright.
"Caelan, is that you?" he grabbed her and kissed her. She pulled away and tried to scream, but her pulled her back into his embrace and forced his lips onto hers.
She pulled away and jumped to the door. She took the scarf off her eyes and Caelan was standing an inch away from her. His cold breath on her neck, his big hands on her waist.
"Nice to see you to Valkyrie. I've missed your face and your touch." Valkyrie growled.
"Get your filthy, undead hands of me you freak!" Caelan looked her in the eye and raised an eyebrow.
"There's no need for insults." He said, he put his mouth close to her ear and whispered, "I wouldn't want a reason to hurt you now, would I?" He put his hand on her neck right by her pulse and licked his top lip. "Your heart beat his abnormally fast. You're scared, why? I would never hurt you." Valkyrie looked him in the eye.
"You said that last time as well. Don't worry I'm not scared. My heart beat is up because that's your impact on me. I never stopped loving you and I regretted the day I killed you." She put her hands on both sides of his face and went to kiss him. His eyes closed and she gritted her teeth and when his head was close enough she flung her head back and smashed it full force into his fore head.
He stepped back one step and held his fore head. Valkyrie gave him no time to react she kicked him in the head. Then when he arched back she kicked him in the crotch.
"That's low." He whispered and punched her in the face back and her lip started bleeding "Perfect." He grabbed her by the shoulders and licked her cut on her lips. She shivered,
"That's disgusting!" and punched him full force in the face. He staggered back. Unable to move because the taste of blood had paralyzed him temporarily, it had been so long since he had been fed. She grabbed her phone and dialled Skulduggery's number. Answering machine, "Damn it!" She had no choice.
"Hello?" Caelan was starting to recover, his pupils were growing bigger by the second.
"Fletcher. Caelan, Gordon's house, blood, help please."
"Wait what?" Caelan grabbed the phone out of her hands,
"Listen to me porcupine. If you interfere, I will drain just enough blood so she can say goodbye to you. What a romantic scene that will be. Nod if you understand." There was silence. "Now tell me if you nodded."
"Actually I didn't nod." Caelan turned around and Fletchers fist hit him in the face. Caelan hissed. Fletcher kicked him in the chest and Caelan's backed up to the open window. Fletcher grabbed his shoulders and hauled him out the window. Caelan grabbed his arms to make sure he didn't let go.
"You wouldn't, would you?" Fletcher looked Caelan in the eyes. His face serious, his voice hard,
"Try me." Caelan started to panic,
"I haven't done anything to you!"
"You have really messed up my life. I had a perfect relationship with Valkyrie before you came along. You made her break my heart. You have made me murder something and I meant to say something because you are not a someone, you are not human you are just a roach that can't keep his hands to himself. You're not even a monster; the only way to describe you is it. You are such a failer that you got disgraced from the vampire community! So yes you have done things to me, but I care about Valkyrie more than anything so everything that you have done to her hurts me as well." Caelan let go and frowned,
"I know, I'm a monster. I don't deserve anything-"
"I don't care! Leave Valkyrie alone you get me. And this time I am going to make sure that you never come back! If Dusk hadn't kidnapped Threnody, I would get her here to do what I am going to do because she would really enjoy it. Even people who you haven't even met hate you."
"You don't stop talking do you?"
"Ok then I'll stop. Goodbye Caelan, for the last time." Fletcher let go and shut the window. He turned and Valkyrie was standing behind him. He looked at her with worry in his eyes, his voice softened in tone, "Are you ok? Nothing hurt?" She shook her head,
"The only cut I have is on my lip." Fletcher put his hand on her chin and gently smoothed his thumb over the cut. She looked him in the eye and he blushed and took his hand away. A cold breeze pushed her and she tripped into Fletcher. He caught her,
"Steady. How did that happen?" Valkyrie shrugged,
"I think Max approves of you." Fletcher looked confused and Valkyrie giggled. "He's like my guardian angle or something. Whenever I am sad, I get really cold and it feels like someone is hugging me and now and again I hear his voice in my head."
"I think you're going mad Val. Does that cut hurt? It looks bad." She smiled,
"Just a little."
"Let Doctor Renn fix that for you." He pulled her in closer and kissed her. His lips were exactly like she remembered them. And they gave her that same feeling. A tingled would shoot down her spine and her knees would go all weak. Unlike Caelan, Fletcher had warm and soft lips were as Caelan's were cold and hard.
The kiss deepened and Valkyrie remembered how much she had really missed Fletcher. She ran her fingers through his golden hair. And Fletcher purred. Valkyrie stopped and looked at him with one eye brow raised,
"What was that?" He shrugged,
"I don't know but I like it when you do that. Must be how a cat feels when you do rub a cats head." Valkyrie sighed,
"You're so simple you know that?" His hands trailed down to the small of her back,
"Yeah, but that's what you like about me." She shook her head and kissed him again. Fletcher's eyes widened and he took Valkyrie off of him. He put his figure to his lips. Valkyrie mouthed What is it? He mouthed back, There's someone downstairs. Valkyrie began to painc, Stay here. Fletcher mouthed to her. She shook her head violently.
They creped down the stairs Valkyrie behind, Fletcher in front. They walked to the kitchen door and Fletcher grabbed an umbrella. He swung open the door and went to hit the figure by the fridge,
"STOP!" yelled Valkyrie, Fletcher lowered the umbrella, saw who it was then breathed a breath of relief. It was Tanith. "You scared us to death Tanith!" She turned with a glass of milk in her hand.
"Sorry, I thought you weren't in so I let myself in, well I say myself. Billy-Ray got me in here and I just thought I would wait until you got back." Fletcher grabbed Valkyrie,
"Your fiancé isn't still here is he?" Valkyrie pulled herself away from him,
"Me and Tanith made a deal. She can come and see me as long as that creep isn't around. Anyway what are you doing here so late at night?" Tanith's eyes widened,
"Oh crap! Yes um, we caught Scapegrace up to no good so we took him in for questioning and he told us that Caelan-"
Valkyrie held up her hand then grabbed Tanith's and led her out the back door to the garden. Tanith looked on the floor to see Caelan lying there motionless. "How did that happen?"
"He climbed into bed with me and got angry when I head butted him full force in the face. Then Fletcher came and threw him out the window." Tanith smiled,
"That's that's the way! Wait what are we going to do with the body?" They thought for a while. Then Valkyrie clicked her fingers,
"Let's just bury him, right here." They all agreed. It took ages to dig a hole deep enough so that even if he did come back, he would have trouble getting out. They then filled the hole with tap water filled with salt and dumped Caelan's body into the hole. They covered it up and put a sign above it.
Here lies Caelan. R.I.P and this time, stay dead.
They stared at the grave for a while then Billy-Ray walked into the back garden. Valkyrie and Fletcher quickly said goodbye to Tanith and went back to Valkyrie's room.
"Hey sugar cube." He looked at the sign, he sighed, "I don' even want to know." Tanith walked up to him,
"No you don't. Oh and before you tunnel go over here" They took to big steps back. "Ok now go." He hugged her and started to tunnel down. Valkyrie watched them go from her window. She looked at her clock, 2 o'clock. She rubbed her eyes and went to bed. Fletcher kissed her goodnight and teleported away.
This time when she finally fell asleep she felt happy and warm. The cold breeze blew over her and she nuzzled into a deep slumber.
And it's done! It's finally done! I couldn't resist adding Caelan into the story, even if that is used alot. Y'know Caelan rising from the dead to get Valkyrie. But who cares! I'm a full supporter for Fletchyrie so yes the ending had to be Fletchyrie. Hope you enjoyed. I am doing a number 2 of this book. It's going to be about what happens to Threnody and stuff so you have that to look forward to :P It fills me with joy to know that people other than my friends enjoy this book so review please! I don't mind any writing tips, even say what you don't like just dont get too nasty. I'M ONLY 13! Thanks!
