Chapter 3
Valkyrie smiled. So this was what Skulduggery had sent her to school for. He sat at the opposite side of the room, twiddling with his gloves. He was thinking deeply, she could tell. Lunar Tears sat in the corner, reading Dracula. Ironic.
"So they are vampires..." Skulduggery murmured.
Valkyrie rolled her eyes.
"So what are we going to do?" Valkyrie asked. She wanted to kick some vampire butt.
"Observe," Skulduggery answered. Valkyrie's smile dropped. Observe? Was he kidding? "We don't know exactly what we'll be up against," Skulduggery continued, once he'd read Valkyrie's expression, "We'd better wait."
"But... They're vampires! They kill people! We can't just leave them free!"
"We'll inform the Grand Mage."
Valkyrie couldn't argue with that. She actually liked this Grand Mage. Which was new. But she couldn't just sit back and do nothing! Patience was not her forte.
Valkyrie rose.
"Where are you going?" Skulduggery demanded.
"I'm meeting Fletcher at my house," Valkyrie lied.
Skulduggery ducked his head. She wished he had expressions...
Valkyrie stormed out of the room.
It was time for answers.
