Chapter 3.

Violet POV.

"Wow, this is awkward" Sock exclaimed, making it even more awkward. I felt a need to say something so I said, me being the genius that I am blurted out,

"Every awkward moment a gay baby is born"

"Nice, and eh...If you don't mind me asking"Valkrie turned to Fletcher,

"She's your sister? As in your sibling? As in you have the same Mother and Father?"Valkrie asked in confusion.

"Yes" I verified.

"So, Violet huh. Nice, but I kind of always saw you as a Curious myself" Fletcher told me grinning.

"I knew it! I knew it! Sock didn't I say that she should take that name! I told her to take that name!" Tanzy shouted looking at me furiously as if it say " I told you so"

I rolled my eyes and walked over to my brother,

"Violet Nymph, nice to meet you" I stuck out my hand out to shake hands.

"Fletcher Renn. So you collect Skulls and Poker Cards, you work in a mechanics on a imported Sport Louts, you live in an apartment with your two Friends, you rob bar-stools from bars and to top it off you are wearing high heels? Oh I'm SO telling Mam." Fletcher said shaking his head and giving me a hug.

"Yes, I am. Don't you think they rock? Anyway what did you need me for?" I asked curiously, while motioning for them to follow me into my room.

"She's your sister?!" Valkrie said still in shock

"So all I get is 'What do you need me for'?" Fletcher asked ignoring Val's question.

"Well you see, Valkrie here needs a certain Skull to bring back her Hero from the world of the Faceless Ones after I was forced to open it by the Driblre. But she needs his skull to open the portal and I got a tip off Finbar Wrong's girlfriend sharon....Anyway that you collect skulls and I was wounding if you had come across it."

"You see I'm a teleporter, which means I can teleport from here to across the room without moving my legs. And Valkrie is a elemental which means she can manipulate the elements."

"This might come as a shock but so are your roommate's as well."

"One sec, Ratts getting anxious" I reached up to my snake upper cuff and traced a symbol around it. My enchanted violet coloured snake came to life and slithered tighter to my upper arm.

"She's your sister!?" Valkrie screamed in near hysterics.

"Ok back to business, yes I know all that, Jebus what did you think, that I'm normal, did you hear the bar stool story, have you not noticed that I'm 15 and I live in a apartment with my two mates. I'm half adept half elemental and a know a few symbols too. When we left home and I said I had somewhere to live I was lying, I had nowhere to go. I was in Temple Bar one day and I saw a tall, skinny bloke with a hat, scarf, sun-glasses give this guy with loads of tattoos and piercings a big black briefcase and when he reached out to give it to him i saw a flash of bone white between his glove and his sleeve. Later that day I got a job Tattooing non-magical people and I crashed on his couch for awhile too. I introduced him to Sharon you know. And look at me like that Fletch, I only crashed on his couch and no I don't have any tattoos."

"Ok, I'm going to guess that you know about Grand Mages and all that then?" Valkrie asked, finally recovering.

"Of course I do, I spend most of my time in China Sorrow's library and at the moment she's teaching me symbols, like the one I use to make Ratt apper to be something normal while I'm in public"

I turned to my window, it was raining so I drew a symbol that was a upside down sunset. The window went blank for a moment and then the sun poured in like we were in Australia

"Ratt being short for Rattle, being short for rattle snake? Is it a rattle snake?" Val asked.

"No, its a mini python, and look around for the Skull. Wait would this be The Skulduggery Pleasant My Head, it is isn't it?! Wow, imagine I had it. Ehh... But just one question, don't you need this real head or skull or whatever to bring him back? Do you know what his real skull looks like because I heard, well made, a rumor that he lost his real head when he was turned into a skeleton and got the one he has now in a poker game."

I looked at them waiting for a answer like 'Ohh it's ok, he had a mark on his real skull that sticks out like Paris Hiltion in a book shop.' But no, instead I get

"Ahh shit, I never thought of that. Do you think Gashly knows what it looks like?" Fletcher asked.

"I don't know but we'll go find out." Valkrie turned to walk out the bedroom door with Fletcher on her heels then she unexpectedly turned and Fletcher bumped into her. She quickly smiled and turned to me.

"Aren't you coming to Bespoke Tailors? Or are you staying here?" She inquired.

"I'm coming, and can we stop at Finbar's Place because I need a favour and he owes me bet money and I need to see how my godchild is coming along" I said Grinning.

"Well then lets go. We're teleporting right, because if i get on a bus i will kill someone and it will most likely be a ratty looking 14 year old" Valkrie asked but it sounded more like a demand.

"Ahh, I see you met Lee then, let me guess, some pointed fingers then a wolf whistle?"

"How did you know?"

"I spent 2 years in school with him and I now know that it does not take a lot of things to get him excited. So I take it that were going into town then? Either that or this is the first thing my brother has ever gotten past first base, in more than one way. Expect Ballet maybe."

"Fletcher used to do ballet? Please tell me it was when he was like 6 or something?"

"Nope. He was in a Leotard and leg-warmers from age 7 to 14, that's when he left Liverpool, but he brought his ballet stuff with him, so I guessed that he went to Russia after he drooped me off here, to be a professional ballet guy." I said walking after them.

"Well, I don't do ballet anymore so eff off." He tyred to square his shoulders, look manly and tall but it was a epic fail as he was standing between Valkrie who was about 5'7 and I who was 6'9 without 5 inch heels and he was about 5'5/6.

"Well fairy's I'm off. I'll see you later, okay. And if Max rings tell him I'm out and that he should drive more carefully." I told the girls who were fighting about who owned MY purple GHD. And with that we were gone.

Well what did you think?? Lets say 10 reviews till chapter 4!
