Valkyrie woke up with a chill and looked over to see her window open. She groaned and
got up out of bed and walked over to the window. She frowned 'I don't remember opening the window' she thought. She had just woken up from having another nightmare about vampires. Ever since she had been turned into a infected she had been having a lot more nightmares about vampires.
She pulled the window down and was heading towards her bed.
It was 3.00 in the morning.
Valkyrie heard a bang coming from downstairs and ran down the stairs heading towards the sound. She found herself in the kitchen and a person had their back to her. They heard her come in and they turned around. It was a tall man with long brown hair and dark skin.
Valkyrie gasped "Jacob"
Jacob smiled "Hey val"
"Jacob what are you doing here"
"Thought I might pop in"
"Get out Jacob"
He frowned "Why"
"Because your evil!"
"What did I do?"
"You kidnapped me and took me to your boss who turned me into a infected"
"Oh. Well I have good news he is no longer my boss"
"Doesn't change anything"
Jacob rolled his eyes and looked around the kitchen "This is some nice house you got here. Doesn't it belong to your uncle?"
Valkyrie ignored the question and grabbed a saucepan and swung it at Jacob. Jacob didn't see it coming and it smacked right into his head knocking him to the floor. He didn't get up. Valkyrie put the saucepan down and grabbed both of Jacobs feet and dragged him to the lounge room. Valkyrie looked at his face. He seemed only to be a couple years older then her. Valkyrie looked at his forehead where a purple bluey bruise was now there.
She laid him on the couch and sat down on the coffee table and grabbed the phone. She dialled the first person she could think of. She dialled skulduggery pleasant's number and waited for him to answer.
After about 5 rings he answered
"Hello. Valkyrie? What's wrong?"
"Why do you assume something is wrong?"
He signed "do you know how early it is"
"Yes but I thought you didn't sleep"
"What's wrong?"
"Remember Jacob? The guy that worked for Drago well he came to my house. I don't know why. So I knocked him out and now he is lying on my couch"
"Am on my way"
"Ok"
"One more thing"
"Yes?"
"Tie him up just in case he wakes up"
"Ok"
Valkyrie hung the phone up and walked into the kitchen.
She had a warm feeling in her stomach that made her feel happy and safe. She always got this feeling when she was with skulduggery even talking to him on the phone. Ever since he saved her from becoming a vampire she always got that feeling. She frowned 'Was she falling for him? Starting to have feelings' no she shook her head 'maybe it was just because they had been friends for over 6 years. Maybe not' Valkyrie sighed and walked over to her cupboard and looked for something she could use to tie Jacob with. She remembered something and ran up to her room. Which use to be Gordon's . She went to her desk and found what she was looking for. It was a pair of handcuffs that skulduggery had given her for emergences. Thinking of skulduggery the warm feeling come back up and Valkyrie signed. She went down stairs and put the handcuffs on Jacobs hands and sat in the chair near the fire place.
Valkyrie sat on the couch and watched Jacob waiting for him to wake up. A few moments passed and she heard him groan but he didn't wake up. After a couple more groans Jacob slowly opened his eyes and looked around him. He saw Valkyrie and smiled.
"Are your up" she said
Jacob looked at his hands and saw the handcuffs. He laughed
"You handcuffed me"
"Yes"
"Why"
"In cause you attacked me"
"Why would I do that"
"You better behave because skulduggery is on his way"
"The skeleton dude. Isn't he your boyfriend?"
Valkyrie blushed madly "No of course not!"
"Oh. Why are you blushing then"
Valkyrie looked away from him "Am not blushing"
Jacob grinned "Oh I see he's not your boyfriend but you like him"
"Never"
"Its ok to like someone"
Valkyrie stood from where she was sitting "Why would you care you evil"
"That's not all true"
"Then why were you working for Drago"
Jacob looked away from her and looked at his hands "You wouldn't wont to listen"
"Try me"
Jacob looked at he in shock "really?"
"Sure"
Valkyrie walked over to him and sat on the couch but not to close.
"well when I was young me and my family would travel around the world and research cool magic stuff" He looked at his hands "But one day we found something that I regret finding it was a monster thing. We didn't know what it was until we took it to are lab. We found out it was part of a faceless god and other parts of it were just creatures"
Valkyrie gasped "The Grotesquery"
"How do you know?"
"Stopped it a little while back"
"Oh that was you. I heard stories about that"
"Yeah nearly died that time"
"Anyway. Drago was one of are helpers and a good friend of the family and he helped us find the Grotesquery. But when we realised what it was we decided to hide it because we knew there were people out there who would want to find it and use it to bring back the faceless ones. But then one day a person found us. His name was Baron Vengeous and he was pretty powerful. My parents tired to protect it but…." He looked up at Valkyrie
"He killed them and nearly me to but Drago saved me in time and stole the Grotesquery. So ever since then I have stayed by Dragos side and help him with his research so am not evil or good but Drago didn't care if he was evil. And his research became weird. Like when he kidnapped you. The only reason he did it because he wanted to know what would happen to an ancient when turned into a infected" Valkyrie glared at him "Weird I know. But all he cares about is his research no matter what it does to people.."
His voice trembled at the last word and he sighed
"He did tests on you didn't he?" Valkyrie asked
Jacob nodded "He turned me into something different and that's why I need your help. Am losing control of it and I cant control my feelings anymore its like am not me"
"What did he turn you into?"
"Well with are family every person in the family is born with a animal personalities which is what gives us power"
"Really cool. What were you?"
"My mum was a eagle. My dad was a Tiger and I was the same as him"
Valkyrie nodded and he continued "But when Drago did the tests on me it some how affected my animal personality"
Valkyrie heard a knock on her door and stood up. Jacob smiled "Your night and shiny bones is here"
Valkyrie walked to the door and skulduggery was standing there in a dark blue suit with his arms crossed.
"Why is he?" he asked. Valkyrie told skulduggery everything that Jacob had just told her and he walked into the lounge room.
"Don't expect me to feel sorry for you" skulduggery said to Jacob
"Well are you going to help me or not"
"Are you sure you wont kidnap Valkyrie"
"I would never hurt her" He looked at her and winked
"Would you monster side hurt her"
Jacob frowned and had an angry look but wouldn't answer
"Well you going to answer or not"
"I don't know ok! So just back of you creepy skeleton" He yelled. Valkyrie looked at Jacob and looked at how his body was slowly changing. His muscles got bigger and tightened showing of his veins running down his arm.
Jacob closed his eyes calming himself down "And besides you're a monster and you don't hurt her"
"If am a monster then what does that make you"
When Jacob opened his eyes they had turned into a deep red and he was growling. His teeth become a lot sharper and then Jacob lunched his self at skulduggery knocking him to the ground.
