Candy- Paolo nutini
Tanith and valkyrie sat in the Bentley, glaring at the three men.
'we hate you' tanith and valkyrie snarled at the same time
' whoa, no offence ladies, but that was freaky shit' Fletcher grinned
He got two digs in the ribs
'I can't believe your making us do this' valkyrie hissed, glaring at skulduggery
Skulduggery shrugged
'It's a clever and unpredictable way to find this guy. Its Halloween, he lives in one of these houses, and your both in strange clothes worthy of trick or treating in
'Bloody skeleton' Valkyrie muttered 'c'mon tanith lets go get some freaking bad guys'
'And candy!' tanith perked up
'And candy' Valkyrie grinned. She turned to skulduggery 'we'll call you if we get recognised, captured and killed'
'Good idea' skulduggery said
Valkyrie and tanith rolled their eyes and got out of the car
They were in an estate, teaming with trick or treaters, ranging from ages of 4 to 20. it looked fun. Everyone was in costume.
Valkyrie wished she'd dragged the boys along too. A scarred tailor, a skeleton, and a boy with ridiculous hair who looked like a pokemon character. THAT would've been fun.
' I wonder why the boys made us go by ourselves?' tanith said absently
'dammit! I left my pone in the car!' valkyrie exclaimed
'Oh, you can borrow mine' tanith said, fishing her ohone out of her pocket
Valkyrie dialled her own number
She waited but nobody answered
This is the o2 messaging service; please leave a message after the tone
Valkyrie was about to leave a message when she heard voices.
She could hear the guys talking on the other end
'Tanith!' Valkyrie hissed 'I can hear the boys! I can hear the boys!'
'Well listen to what they're saying you tard!'
'Shhhh!'
'So why did you make they girls go without us then?' Fletcher said
'I made them go, because I have something to ask you both, well, not really you Fletcher, more ghastly' skulduggery said
'Oi!' Fletcher protested
'Shut up' ghastly snapped, no doubt at Fletcher ' what's the matter, skul?'
There was silence for a moment
' what do you do when….um….when your in love with someone? Someone…younger than you. Much, much younger than you?' skulduggery stammered
Valkyrie froze to the spot.
Tanith was grinning at her.
Valkyrie looked round and realised the streets where nearly empty
Skulduggery…is there something you want to tell us?' ghastly asked
' yes' skulduggery said simply
'and that is…?'
' i…um…I-love v…v…'
' jesus Christ just say is pleasant!' fletcher groaned
' shut up' ghastly snapped again
Skulduggery sighed
' I love valkyrie'
There was silence
Valkyries heart stopped beating and she found herself grinning. And loving him back.
The streets where empty now
Dear LORD this day is really, REALLY screwed up. Skulduggery's voice thought
Valkyrie pressed the end call button and grabbed tanith's hand. They raced back to the car
'Er…what ARE we doing valkyrie?' tanith asked as they jogged
'Going back to the car! Ive got something to do!' valkyrie called
' your crazy Val!' tanith yelled, falling behind
'Of cour- argh!' Valkyrie fell onto her knees and rolled onto her back.
'Owwww' she moaned.
Tanith roared with laughter
She heard footsteps coming towards her
Skulduggery kneeled down beside her and laughed
'You can't last a day without falling' he sighed
Valkyrie got up onto her knees, so she was face to face with skulduggery and she scowled hardly at him.
'Sorry, I dint know you where actually hurt' skulduggery stammered, putting his hands up apologetically.
A large grin broke out on valkyries face and she tilted her head to the side and pressed her lips to skulduggery's
Skulduggery froze for a second.
'OK THEN…THIS IS NEW…IT FREAKING ROCKS!' skulduggery's voice yelled
Skulduggery wrapped his arms around valkyries waist and pulled her up onto her feet. Valkyrie wrapped her arms around skulduggery's neck. She stood up on her tip toes
Tanith stared at them for a moment, then went and slid into the back of the Bentley beside ghastly and Fletcher.
'Er…where's Val and skul?' ghastly asked
Tanith pointed towards the window and the boys looked out and stared
'Bloody hell' Fletcher muttered
'Well, we could be here a while' ghastly concluded
'Anyone wana play I-spy?' Fletcher asked
