Chapter 4! Well, I wrote this really quickly because it's like exam week, so I probably won't be updating until next week. I would really like some reviews, feedback . . . um, anything? Thankyou to Fire Kitty 12 for favouriting! So please review and let me know if you actually like this and p.s. I recently became a huge fan of Valduggery so, maybe, it might happen later in this story! REVIEW MINIONS!

When they reached Gordon's mansion, Valkyrie realised something. If she had to let Caelan touch her all the time, she'd have to sleep with him, shower with him, and go to the bathroom with him and . . . everything. She wondered why Caelan had to touch her, why not Skulduggery? She'd have preferred to be with Skulduggery right now . . . have him touching her and not Caelan.

Whoa, whoa, whoa Valkyrie, what are you thinking? You'd prefer to have Skulduggery touch you all the time, sleep with you, shower with you and do everything with you? Why the sudden change of emotion? First you felt nervous around Caelan, and now you feel the same about Skulduggery? Jeezes, what the heck is your problem? All these thoughts stirred around in her head when she suddenly noticed Caelan staring at her.

"What?" she asked.
"Err, I kind of need the bathroom," he said his eyes flicking everywhere but at her.
"Oh for Pete' sake!" she said walking with him into the bathroom, "I won't look, promise."

She turned around feeling incredibly awkward as she could hear him peeing.

"All done," he said with half a smile on his face. She glared at him. He didn't seem to notice.

"Hey, do you want to go see a movie," he said with a smile on his lips. He's not the same as he was, he's not a vampire, she kept telling herself. She stood there frozen for a minute but then finally answered.

"Sure, what should we go see?" she asked.
"What about 'The Mortal Instruments'?" he said.
"Sure, they're really good books," she said feeling somewhat excited at her "date" with Caelan.

She was about to go upstairs to get ready, but remembered her predicament and thought against it, she didn't want him to see her getting changed. Things were already awkward between them, she didn't want to complicate it. They walked out the door holding hands and got in her car that she had recently got from her parents. It was difficult getting in, but was they were in, it was quite easy to drive the car with his hand over hers controlling the gear stick and her free hand using the steering wheel. They reached the cinema and decided to buy some food and drink to take into the cinema. They chose to share a large pepsi and share some popcorn. They paid at the counter avoiding the glare that the counter lady was giving her when she paid with her credit card, Caelan's hand entwined with hers.

All in all, it was a good movie, the actors actually matched the characters in the book, which, she thought, was pretty rare.

After the movie they went to the restaurant 'Heart' and they both ordered a steak with a side of chilli chips. Both had commented on how the waitress looked a lot like Valkyrie. She didn't want to think about the reflection and said to Caelan,

"I feel so incredibly strange, I killed you and yet here we are, sitting here talking about it. I'm a cold blooded killer," she sighed. Caelan squeezed her hand and said to her, "You're not a killer, it's not your fault that I was a psycho, that was way too obsessed with you."

Suddenly, he leaned forward and kissed her and she wasn't sure she liked it.

"Don't touch me," she hissed.

"Umm, it's kind of hard to avoid unless you want to suffer unimaginable pain," he growled.

Suddenly, Skulduggery walked into the restaurant holding his gun, pointed at Caelan.
"Don't you dare do anything like that to her again," he growled. Caelan let go of her hand and surprisingly there wasn't any pain.

"What the," she muttered. She turned around facing Caelan, "I was never in any actual pain was I?"
"Nope, you only thought you did," he smiled evilly at her. She felt a dull throb in her arm and realised she was going to shunt again.

"I'm about to shunt," she said to Skulduggery. He came towards her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

(Things are about to get seriously confusing)

Seeing, that she was shunting, Caelan grabbed her and kissed her, hard. The waitress ran at them while Skulduggery roared and tried to get Caelan off Valkyrie. The waitress touched Valkyrie's shoulder and they all shunted.

They all fell over at once and no one was holding onto her anymore. Seeing that a fight was about to happen, Valkyrie shouted, "STOP! Everyone just stop for just a minute!"

Caelan untangled himself from Skulduggery and went to stand next to the waitress. Skulduggery stood up too and all at once, she figured a few things out.

The waitress was the reflection

The reflection was evil

Caelan was now standing next to the reflection and it looked as if they were some kind of team

Skulduggery had been watching them the whole time in the restaurant.

"Okay, so you're working with my reflection whose evil, so you're evil," she said to Caelan.

"Right you are," he grinned maliciously at her.

"And I am on your side and will always be, we're a team so, yeah," Skulduggery put in.

"True dat," she said and kicked the reflection in the shins, but instead of fighting her, both the reflection and Caelan ran off.

"What the flopping heck just happened?" she said.

"Poo," he said, "I knew we couldn't trust that bastard so I followed you both. Sorry by the way."

"That's alright, I'm so glad you're here with me," she said.

Skulduggery stepped toward her and gave her a hug, a bony, familiar and yet comfortable hug.

"We're in this together you know," he murmured into her hair.

"I know," she said, "I need to ask you something though."

"What?" he asked.

"Did you feel jealous when Caelan was with me in the restaurant?" He didn't say anything for a moment.

"Yes," he said eventually, "I was, and I haven't felt this way since I was with my wife Valkyrie. I've developed feelings toward you and you probably think that it's wrong. I know it is, but . . . I think I love you."

"WOW," she said and she leaned forward brushing her lips ever so gently against his teeth, "We really are 'the detective duo now'"

He laughed softly, "I'm so glad you feel the same way."

She hugged him close again.

"Me too Skulduggery, me too."

WOW, I actually liked that chapter. REVIEW PLZ!
