Fletchers face was red, what had he just walked in on. Whoa Skulduggery and china and I was worried he would take Valkyrie from me.

"Ah...um sorry about ... that." He stuttered

"Don't worry about it Fletcher." China smiled "oh and Skulduggery dear put that fist down before you brake something."

"Yes chin… what… you just called me dear!" Skulduggery yelled

"Yes … as a matter of a fact I... did …. Hmmm... Dear … do you mind if I call you dear, Skulduggery?"

"Yes I do" growled Skulduggery "I do a lot!"

"Oh okay then I won't call you dear… at least not when other people are around" she said stifling a laugh at Skulduggery's furious face

"Speaking of other people Fletcher what is the matter."

Fletcher looked up felt the familiar urge to confess his false undying love for China but fought it.

" Something is wrong with Valkyrie."

Skulduggery' s head snapped up and in a second he was standing adjusting his coat.

"What happened?" he said urgently

"She's not herself… she keeps… she…." Fletcher couldn't form the words that were churning in his brain it was just to up setting for him.

"Get to the point boy!" yelled Skulduggery and Fletcher backed away fear and hurt etched on his face. China put her hand on Skulduggery's arm

"Shh Skulduggery you're scaring him be patient." She said

"Right sorry fetcher continue"

"Well Val said she was … marquises" he almost whispered the name before the tears began to roll down his cheeks he then continued. "She was saying how she kills everyone how it wasn't worth stay round how she was going to eventually end the world. Skulduggery she needs help. She needs help." His face suddenly light up "oh my god I left…. She's alone… I left… great what will she think I left her alone … she's probably done something bad to herself. I have to get back." China and Skulduggery both knew what fetcher meant when he said she's probably done something to the self but it was confirmed when Skulduggery's phone began to vibrate. He took it out of his pocket and answered.

"Hello"

"Skulduggery, where are you?" it was Tanith

"I'm at Chinas Fletcher is here."

"Oh then you don't know about Val?" asked Tanith

"No what's happened.

"She stabbed herself." There was short paused as the news sunk in then Skulduggery roared

"What!"

"Calean says he found her in the woods lying face down with the knife in her chest." Tanith said

"Calean what is he doing round Valkyrie uncles place?" Skulduggery yelled into the phone.

"I don't know doesn't worry he's not going to do anything believe me I told him if he tried…"

Skulduggery cut her off "you can never trust a vampire." And he hung up
