The haunted theme park

Chapter 2

Valkyrie decided the quickest way to the theme park would be by taxi. She reached the park within 20 minutes, she paid the driver and walked over to a women stood near the gates. Once Valkyrie had blocked the sunlight from her eyes she saw what the women was wearing-a pink floral summer dress and matching flip flops and in her hair was a huge pink flower.

"What are you wearing?" Valkyrie asked her.

"What do you mean? It's the middle of July and this the first day the sun has actually decided to come out and it's boiling…so I'm dressed for the occasion. I see you're not." China replied eyeing what Valkyrie was wearing. As usual Valkyrie was dressed in the clothes Ghastly had made for her-black jeans and boots and a black coat which ended halfway up her thighs.

"China we're going ghost hunting," Valkyrie sighed.

"I'll be fine dear but are you sure we can do this?"

"Yes we can, now come on."

"Wait without Skulduggery and the others? hmm…No way!"

"Come on China. Once we've done this they won't question our ability again." She pulled at China's arm and moved her closer to the gate. The gates to the theme park were massive. They were made of iron-big heavy iron. Keeping the gates shut was a big heavy silver padlock.

"China could you try and get this lock open?"

"We can't do this alone if Tanith was here she could have opened that lock with no problem and Skulduggery…well he would have just kicked the gates down but me Valkyrie you ask me? Well good job I have just the thing." She was looking for the correct symbol on her body that would do the trick. As she was doing that Valkyrie heard a creek, turned away from China and saw the Gates to the theme park had opened.

"I knew you could do it China!" Valkyrie was excited now.

"Do what? Ah ha here it is." China turned towards the gates and joined Valkyrie. "You did that to annoy me didn't you?"

"I didn't do anything China, I thought it was you."

China was shaking her head. "It wasn't me."

"You know what this means?"

"What?"

"This place is actually haunted!" Valkyrie just couldn't wait she started to walk towards the gate and realised China wasn't following.

"Come on," Valkyrie said whilst pulling at Chinas arm, "We'll be fine, I promise" Valkyrie reassured her and pulled her friend into the theme park.
