Congrats you read the first chapter! This is my story on Ghanith :3 ok so just to be straight they found Tanith (kinda) YIPEE :D so they have gone to find her! Now … continue!

(Plus in the coming chapters there will be valduggery :D

Skulduggery, Valkyrie, and Ghastly arrived at the airport, they sprinted for the nearest airline desk and a woman widened her eyes in surprise as two men and a girl ran straight for her, so fast she thought they wouldn't stop.

"When's the next flight to Texas!" Ghastly managed say between gasps of air, the bewildered woman snapped out of her trance and turned to her computer,

"Uhh, there's another one in just under an hour. Would you like a ticket?" she questioned. A pretty woman, with short brown hair in a bob with her fringe pinned to the side of her head, Ghastly sighed in relief and nodded,

"Yes please"

"And for you?" she turned to Skulduggery and Valkyrie who looked sheepishly at one another; they had always used Fletcher for this but was currently impossible because of a certain mess up on Valkyries behalf (Mortal Coil).

"Uhh, same please" hesitated Skulduggery, who then looked around at Valkyrie, who was biting her bottom lip and staring at him, she was dying to ask a question, "yes, Val I will pay for you" he sighed and a large and very thankful grin spread across her face,

"And that's why I love you," she smiled and leaned into him,

"… Of course you love me, everyone loves me " Skulduggery took out a card and handed it to the woman, who then handed them 2 airline tickets, after some random button pushing she handed the card back to him,

"Yes, but I know you love me back" She said with a very innocent look on her face; Skulduggery was about to say something but then realised that Ghastly was already gone. The two looked at each other, and then bolted in the direction of the plane.

_o-O-o_

The standard seats were OK, Valkyrie sat next to the window (because she nagged the most and won). She couldn't remember she last time she was in a plane (other than when she jumped out of one) but it was still fun to take off. Skulduggery sat in the middle moping, because he lost the battle to sit by the window, but Ghastly kept fidgeting throughout the journey; he wasn't only excited about Tanith but he was also scared. What if they really couldn't get that, thing out of her? What if they did though but she didn't love him anymore? Or didn't even remember him? Just thinking about it made his heart sink. But he was still angry, very angry and it showed when his hands began coiling into fists and his back arched like a ferocious cat, he felt a cold leather hand on his, and looked up to see his friend with his façade and even though his eyes weren't real, the worry in them was as clear as daylight, his fists recoiled and he sat back,

"Don't worry, we'll find her" said Skulduggery with reassuring smile the same on Valkyrie had on her face. Ghastly knew how much Val missed Tanith, they were like sisters even though Tanith acted like the younger sister, with or without the 60 year age difference.

Well that's the 2nd chapter just 2 points in case you were wondering,

Ghastly paid while Skul and Val were talking about who loves who, and,

In book 1 Val is just in her teens and Tanith is in her 70's that's how there's the 60 year difference :)

Ok then see you for the next chapter

Funny Bones over and out!
