AN. PLEASE READ! IMPORTANT! Heeeeeeey How is everyone? Good? I hope so! Thank you all so much for all the reviews and favs and follows! I'm thrilled you like it! I have been thinking of doing a kind of competition. I'm doing it on one of my other stories also. If anyone would like to be a character in this story please leave your name, age (optional), description, what you would like for a taken name, if youd like to be paired with a single character in the story and personality (optional). The way to win is leave the best review you can (but no ass kissing -_- :p) with any advice you may have and with this the info on yourself. I'm just doing this for a bit of fun! And there's a chance everyone will win! We'll see how it goes.
Also to IVY FOREST if youre reading: If this sounds at all snappy I'm sorry I don't mean for it to. I'm honestly just curious as to how I have the descriptions and characters all wrong? Most of the characters that appear in this story and "Only Time Will Tell" such as Emerald, Danger, Time, Lightning, and Jonathan are all my characters that I created and no one knows for sure what Skulduggery looked like in human form and everyone knows what Valkyrie looks like and the majority of the settings in the story other than Gordons mansion and Skulduggerys house is mine so how do I have the characters and descriptions wrong when most of it was my own creation?
So here is chapter 3! ENJOY!
Valkyrie's POV
That night i was welcomed to a nice, warm, bubbly bath made by Skulduggery. It was so relaxing. I had almost completely forgot about the incident of someone watching me. I didn't tell Skulduggery because I know he'll worry and search for Lightning again. If that happens this family will fall apart.
I'm lying on the couch with Skulduggery, my head in his lap. He gently runs his fingers through my hair softly while we watch "The Conjuring." I love this film! It's one of my favourites. I laugh as one of the characters is dragged around the house by her hair by the invisible demon/ghost thing. Horrors are hilarious. Skulduggery chuckles with me. His spare hand is n my bump rubbing it gently. The baby kicks his hand and smiles widely kissing it, "Hi baby, this is your daddy. I'm sorry I havent been here much but I will be from now on I promise. I love you so much and can't wait to meet you, little one." I smile widely and turn to look at him. He returns my smile. "I was thinking of bringing Ellie on a day out. Is that okay?"
I nod, "Of course. Just don't forget about her and leave her there and is fine." We chuckle.
"Of course. Id never do that."
"Are you sure? You forgot Jonathan in Cavan that time when he was a toddler."
"WHAT?" I hear Jonathan shout from the kitchen and stomp in.
Skulduggery flushes as I continue, "We went to County Cavan as a family outing once when your father came back from the war for a week and he had a teleporter friend of his bring us back home and when we did he had forgotten you. The one thing he had to do while I got our stuff and he forgot. Once we got back to you you had tipped all the cows in the fields over. You little devil."
He chuckles and glares at Skulduggery before stomping off dramatically. Like father like son.
Some hours later…
I watch little Ellie crawl over to her daddy smiling widely as he holds his arms out to her. He picks her up and spins her around and she squeals happily. He and I laugh and he hugs her to him. "You," he pokes her nose as he says this, "and daddy," he gets her hands to poke his nose, "are going out just you and i." he kisses her head and starts putting on her coat, hat, mittens and scarf. He puts her in her bugging with a blanket over her and puts her nappy bag with her bottles hanging on the handles bars. He kisses my cheek and heads off on a walk.
Unknown POV…
So Skulduggery pleasant is Lord Vile and Valkyrie Cain is Darquesse? Well well. Can't say I'm surprised. And I also cant say im sad to have to get rid of them and their children, who must be powerful too, to protect this world. I pick up the phone and arrange the assassination of Valkyrie Cain, Skulduggery Pleasant, Jonathan Pleasant and Ellie Pleasant.
Valkyrie's POV
I go around the house doing my own business and jobs and soon get very tired. I stretch and make my way to my room to have a nice nap. I get into a Dublin Jersey and shorts and get into my bed and lay down. I lay there for a good while before sleep finally starts to take over. Just as im about to sleep I sense someone over me. I open my eyes as they lean down and press a thin rope into my neck, strangling me.
My eyes bulge as I struggle to breath. I feel the rope cut into my neck very slowly. I kick my legs fiercely while scraping at masked persons hands. I manage to kick them away and send a fire ball hurdling into their chest. I gasp for breath as theyre kicked away. I try to call to Jonathan for help but nothing but a wheezy sound escapes my lips.
As I see my all in black attacker getting up I reach into my side draw and grab my gun with fumbling, shaking hands and shoot them until I know he or she is dead. At the nose of the gunshots Jonathan races in. "Mam!" he runs to me and see the thing bruising and cut along my neck. He winces and calls Skulduggery who immediate starts making his way home with Ellie. Jonathan goes over and searches the attackers pockets. He finds a piece a paper and tenses.
"What? What is it?" I wheeze out.
He shows me the paper. It's a contract saying the attacker will be paid to kill us all and it has a signature at the end of it. What? That cant be right. I stare at the signature in shock.
Ghastly Bespoke.
AN. So there we are! What did What did you think? I hpe you liked it! Please R&R! Take care! Until next time! :)
