Chapter 9

Valkyrie came out of the bathroom with new clean clothes on, and went straight to the couch lying down on it, wishing her life was over. She couldn't be bothered to look up when someone entered the room.

"Are you ok Val?" came Dexter Vex's voice.

Valkyrie just groaned and lay on her other side, now facing the couch.

"Come on, you need some fresh air, and something to take your mind off of Skulduggery."

Valkyrie silently sobbed as she heard his name. Dexter came over helped Valkyrie, saw her face, and pulled her into a tight loving hug, saying it was going to all be Ok. She just cried more into his shirt.

"No it's not, and you know it. You all know it," came Valkyrie's voice as the rest of the Dead Men and Tanith walked in.

"Shhh. Valkyrie, it's going to be ok, we'll find something to bring him back don't you worry ok?" came Tanith's voice.

Valkyrie looked up at her friend and started walking to the door. Ghastly began to protest and tried to pull her back, but she just ran for the door without looking back.

She ran and ran, not looking back, and not caring where she went. When she finally ended up at Skulduggery's doorstep, and out of breath, she remembered something, the fake Skulduggery. She opened the unlocked door and hurried up the stairs and into one of the lounge rooms, spotting the imposter immediately.

"You," she said.

He looked up from where he was sitting on the couch, and stared at her. He put on a skeletal grin.

"You came back," came his reply.

"YOU!" she shouted at him, coming at him with a punch. He easily blocked it and came in with one of his own. Now she blocked it and went low with a swipe to the legs. He fell over, but got up quickly.

"STOP!" he shouted at the top of his lounges, making Valkyrie stop, halfway through a punch."I only agreed to pretend to be Skulduggery, to get close to you," he said the last part VERY quietly, so only Valkyrie could hear, and even then she had had strain to hear him.

"What?" came her reply.

"Valkyrie Cain, I-I I love you, ever since I laid eyes on you," and with that he kissed her, but it wasn't bone that touched her lips, it was another pair lips. The were cold and unwelcoming, and she knew exactly who it was. Caelan.

"Caelan?" asked Valkyrie, breaking the kiss.

"Finally, she gets it!" he said, as if talking to someone else in the room.
