I caught myself- paramore
Scenario 1-
'don't- no don't touch that!- valkyrie!'
'its not poisonous'
' it's a bomb!'
'look- ghastly thinks its disabled so it disabled'
'it is' ghastly nodded, crouching behind the two'
'see?' valkyrie smiled smugly
Valkyrie flicked it and it started beeping, little numbers flashing on the tiny screen, counting down.
Beep beep beep
'Run!' skulduggery yelled
Scenario 2
'Stay away from that- don't! No! Valkyrie! What did I just say?'
'Uh……don't, no, Valkyrie, what did I just say?' Valkyrie asked
'Before that'
'I….don't…..know……'
'Just stay away from the edge'
'Skulduggery, you let me fight faceless ones, vampires, numerous evil guys, but when it comes to the edge of a cliff…….'
'Just stay away'
'Fine'
Scenario 3-
'valkyrie cain DO NOt touch that motorbike!'
'………run for it tanith!'
Today-
Valkyrie glared at skulduggery.
He was oblivious to the fact that he was being glared at but he had a certain…smugness……
He had been SO over protective of her and now, Valkyrie thought, getting up from the sofa. She had a lesson to teach that darn skeleton…….
She climbed up to the attic and found the skylight. It was easy to find seeing as it was the only source of light in the dark, smelly, attic of Gordon's mansion.
She opened it and climbed up onto the roof and smiled with satisfaction.
She pressed the number for skulduggery on speed dial.
'Hello? Hang on, Valkyrie?! You were down here five minuets ago!?'
'Yep, im on the roof!' Valkyrie grinned smugly
'What?!'
Skulduggery hung up and two minuets 17 seconds later skulduggery was standing outside looking up at Valkyrie in quiet amazement.
'Hi!' she yelled down, giggling
Tanith, Fletcher and ghastly came outside and tanith was in fits
'YOU GO, VALLLL!' tanith yelled between gushes of laughter
'COME DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!' skulduggery yelled up
'Nope!' Valkyrie yelled
Skulduggery said something to Fletcher and Fletcher shook his, head grinning
Valkyrie dug in her pocket and pulled out her ipod, and then she plugged it into her portable speakers she'd brought up with her.
She put on I don't care, by fall out boy, and danced crazily. This was the best rebellion ever……
I! DON'T! CARE WHAT YA THINK AS LONG AS IT'S ABOOOOUT MEEE!' THE BEST OF US CAN FIND HAAAAPPPPIIIINNEEEEEESSSS IN MIS-'valkyrie yelled happily. Tanith was laughing and singing along with her but valkyries singing was cut short when her foot slipped of the gutters……
She screamed as she fell. She tried to get the air to form around her, to carry her, but she was panicking so much. She couldn't stop herself from falling.
All the images of her friends and family flashed before her eyes.
Tanith
Ghastly
Fletcher
Kenspeckle
China
Her mum
Her dad
Her cousins and aunts and uncles
And then it settled on skulduggery's face and a tear escaped valkyries shut eyes.
And, just before she hit the tarmac with a sickening thwack, just before all her bones where crushed and her neck snapped and her heart stopped beating-
Arms caught her
Strong, bony, arms
And they held her tight.
Valkyrie couldn't open her eyes for a second, encase she was lying on the ground, and she saw her own blood beside her and felt what was left of her bones inside her.
She felt the cold sting her cheeks. And when she was sure she wasn't lying on the ground, she slowly opened her eyes. And a skeleton smiled down at her (well, it LOOKED like a smile)
Tanith was standing beside her, her hands on her face, tears running down her pink cheeks
Ghastly had a look of shock, horror, and disbelief on his face, and he had one hand lightly on valkyries wrist, like he wasn't sure weather she was a ghost, or just lying dead in skulduggery's arm.
Fletcher- well, Fletcher looked shocked, amused, annoyed, happy, angry, and bloody well confused.
'v-valkyrie?' skulduggery whispered 'v-valkyrie? Can you say something? Please say something'
'Owwww' Valkyrie groaned
Tanith gasped in shock and relief and wrapped her arms around her friend.
Ghastly sighed happily, and squeezed valkyries hand, then let go quickly, looking awkward.
Skulduggery held Valkyrie tighter to him
'You are in so much trouble' skulduggery murmured in her ear.
Valkyrie pouted and folded her arms, looking up at skulduggery defiantly.
'Excellent' she smirked
Fletcher grinned
'Well, now valkyries fallen of her fair share of mansions for the day, I think we should go inside. Im freezing my arse of here'
Valkyrie laughed at fletcher's choice of words and she knew skulduggery would roll his eyes…if he had them.
Valkyrie realised she was still in skulduggery's arms and she looked at him
'You can put me down now' she smiled, although a part of her didn't want him too
DARN. Skulduggery's voice thought
'Of course' skulduggery said, and set her down.
Ghastly and the others had walked ahead of them, but weren't in the house yet
As soon as valkyries feet touched the ground, Valkyrie turned round, put her arms round skulduggery's neck, and kissed him.
She wasn't exactly sure why. Either it was because she just wasn't thinking, she was still in shock, or she was bloody crazy, but she kissed him- and liked it. Skulduggery wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer.
Tanith looked back, wondering why she wasn't hearing the sounds of arguing, and grinned. She grabbed ghastly and fletchers arms and yanked them back. Fletcher squeaked but tanith clapped a hand over his mouth.
Ghastly and tanith grinned at the sight.
WOOHOO! Thought skulduggery's voice. NOW, WHERE'D I PUT THAT DECK CHAIR….
