No no no! You didn't say that, you can't. Valkyrie, bestfriend, mentor and partner remember? Or doesn't that mean anything now? No, it meant so much more, partner... More than one way to say that. He is being weird at the moment, or don't you remember that? Or the fact that he doesn't like you back? Not that I know of...

My eyes closed as I thought of what I just admitted. It was a weird feeling like a weight had been lifted from me, but one had been put on me at the same time. I didn't want to go into too much detail but instead drifted into sleep with a small smile.

"How long do you think she can keep it a secret?"
"About as long as you would expect. She'll think about it then tell him, and it will all depend on how he reacts."
"And what are his feelings for her?" One character asked the other, who paused.
"Unknown." The reply was short and frustrated.
"Perhaps we will have to take drastic measures, if you continue to not know anything" One snapped at the other.

The characters glared and both nodded their goodbyes. The first character jumped from the tree, landing gracefully on the long grass. Silently she moved towards the shadows and disappeared. The second character was still in the tree, turning back to a sleeping Valkyrie. Sharp teeth glistened in the moonlight with a small smile. Valkyrie had no idea what was coming. The tree shifted as the last figure was flung from its branches into the open air, and just as silently as the first, she disappeared.

It was raining and I had just unlocked the door to Gordon's mansion. Skulduggery followed me in and we closed the door. In his usual gentleman style he dried me off with a flex of his hand. I smiled at him and produced a flame to heat myself. We had finished a case as usual, but something was different. Oh yes, I love him now don't I? I blushed madly at the floor and walked into the living room away from him. "Valkyrie, are you okay you've been acting differently around me recently?" His velvet voice came from right behind me. I turned and his head was cocked in an affectionate way while his hands were in front of him as if to hold onto my arms. I couldn't take it. I launched myself at him and wrapped my arms around his neck, Skulduggery was shocked at my reaction but soon returned my hug.
I pulled way and looked into his eye sockets. He stiffened when I pressed my lips to his.
I prepared myself to be pushed away, to be told I was too young and it was just a crush. Told that he saw me like a daughter and things would never change between us.
But never prepared for this.
The way his hands moved from around my waist to gripping my hips and forcing his teeth against mine. I responded just as egear by pushing into his body until we were crushed together. His hands moved around my sides and eventually under my shirt, as he did this he trailed little nips of delight down my neck. I moaned to the ceiling and Skulduggery came up for air. "I need to kiss you back". The facade was on and the face was one with short brown hair, brown eyes and a sharp jaw. China must have made each one attractive on purpose, but thank GOD. The kissing resumed immediately and suddenly my back hit the biggest sofa in the room. My shirt was off...When did that happen? Skulduggery was still fully dressed, something I was NOT happy with. I pulled at his tie and our lips never left each others as his clothes were discarded along with mine. We rolled off the sofa and landed with a BANG!

No way, it was a dream! I groaned and opened my eyes to a hiding morning sun out of my window. A guilty part of me wanted to see the dream to the end, and what he could do- unfortunately it was a big part of me. The smaller and more sensible part of my brain kicked the bigger part and told me to finish it later.
I looked at my phone and had to do a double take, Crap! I had ten minutes until I was meeting Skulduggery!

I know they're short and disappointing but I need more time to write the ones full of stuff with the new characters. As you can guess I've chosen two and they feature early on in this chapter. Before Valkyrie's dream.
Hoping this was acceptable for you guys.
