Hello, everybody! It's me again. I've decided to be nice, so I'm also going to update this story. Actually, I should be writing my book, but… What the hell? Enjoy, and as always, review are welcome.
This is dedicated to Mademise Morte. Mademise is an awesome writer, and I have read all of her/his stories! Well, almost all of them. I highly suggest you read them.
Part one: The Break
Skulduggery Pleasant loved Valkyrie Cain. Valkyrie Cain loved him back, but she was in a relationship with Caelan. As much as she wanted to end it, she absolutely couldn't. She was afraid of what Caelan might do if she broke up with her. After all, he was a vampire.
This chapter is about how Valkyrie deals with Caelan and Skulduggery.
I was sitting on her couch, next to Caelan, and his arms were around my shoulders, and he was cold. I was all wrapped up in blankets, and it was raining. No surprise there, though. Caelan was in a red tight t-shirt, and jeans. I was wearing a black Led Zeppelin t-shirt, and jeans. They were eating popcorn- well, I was- and watching Saw III.
Everytime Jason would hack up someone, I would jump a little bit. It reminded me too much of real life.
"Hey Caelan?" I mused.
"Valkyrie."
"You love me, right?"
"Of course!" I bit my lip, wanting to say that she didn't love him back, but couldn't. "You love me, right?" Caelan finished. He was looking at me with serious eyes.
I bit her lip harder, and turned my head away. Caelan gingerly took my chin, and turned it back towards him, making me look into his eyes. He also took my hand in the other.
"Valkyrie."
"I… I…" I let out my breath, and shook my head. "No, Caelan. I don't. I used to, but I no longer. I just think that when you saved me from Gemma, I mistook love with gratitude. I also… sort of like someone else now, though." I finished.
Caelan's eyes were hard, and stony. His grip on my hand on my hand was overwhelming, and crushing. I heard him grit his teeth, and he slightly bared his fangs. He let go of my chin, and clenched his fist. I sucked in a breath, with tears welling up in my eyes, as he continued to kill my hand.
"Ow, Caelan, you're crushing my hand. Stop, that hurts." I managed, and suddenly, Caelan wasn't even there. I looked at my hand, and stood up, looking for Caelan.
OK, so he's mad.
I looked around, and shrugged. I walked into the kitchen, and pulled some medical tape for my hand. I wrapped it up, and called Skulduggery. He picked up immediately.
"Hello?" he asked.
"Skulduggery, can you come over?"
"on my way." I heard the Bentley's purr in the background. "is there anything wrong?"
"I'm not sure. I tried to break up with Caelan, I just don't feel the love anymore, you know?"
"Yes."
"Well, her got mad, and sorta crushed my hand. Then, he disappeared. I don't even know where he went."
"He crushed your hand?" Skulduggery inquired angrily. I heard the Bentley's engine rev hard, and I knew that Skulduggery was going faster. "Stay on the phone." He ordered.
"I… I can't. I have to find Caelan and calm him down."
"No. He is an angry vampire. Stay right where you are."
"Skulduggery, he still loves me. He wouldn't kill me. See you soon." And I hung up. And, I didn't even hear Skulduggery's last warning:
"No, Caelan wouldn't kill you. But the vampire might."
I turned around, to see Caelan standing there, a shadow across his face. He was standing tall, and I could almost feel the anger rolling off of him. He had long, yellow fangs, and sharpened claws.
"C- Caelan?" I managed. He took a step closer. I took one back.
"Why are you running, Valkyrie? Who know that I love you too much to hurt you."
"I know."
"But I hate you enough to kill you." My breath got caught in my throat. I took another step back, and my back hit the corner of the counter.
"Sorry?" I asked. Caelan chuckled darkly, bringing his claws up. He put his hands on my shoulders, and dug his nails into them. Tears were streaming down my face, as I managed to raise my hands, and push against Caelan, and it was somehow hard enough to push him away.
"Stay away from me." I warned, grabbing a butcher knife from the drawer next to me.
Caelan grinned, and winked at me. He looked behind his shoulder, and with a wave of his hand, shut the shutters, and locked all the doors, as heard from all around the house.
I took the opportunity to run for it. I dashed next to him, running for the front door. I was just about to reach it, when Caelan grabbed my elbow, and spun me around, and let go. I was sent flying. I screamed, and hit the corridor wall, sweeping down a couple pictures of Gordon.
I heard the Bentley pull into the driveway, tyres spinning. It screeched to a halt, just as I fell to the ground. I think that I chipped my tooth- again- and there was blood trailing down my face. My hand was most likely broken, and my ankle hurt a bit.
Caelan was from across the room, to standing right next to me. I made an attempt to stand back, but a hand shot out, and pushed me back to the ground. Caelan squatted over me, and pinned my hands to the floor.
"You are a trouble maker." He mused calmly. He bent down, and smelled in my hair. "You also smell like… Blood. Yummy."
"You… You sadistic, narcotic, damned vampire!" I spat. Caelan smiled, and his teeth grazed my neck.
There was a crash of a window from the front room. I didn't hear anything after that. I'm just assuming that Skulduggery was in the building, though.
God, I better survive. If I don't then we're all screwed. I didn't even get to tell Skulduggery that I loved him yet.
"Back away, Caelan." A calm voice came from behind me ex-boyfriend's shoulder. There was the click of a gun, and Caelan's growled. He was still looking at me.
"Go, Skulduggery. Just let me do my job."
"And let you eat my partner? Are you mad?"
Caelan didn't answer, but just sunk his teeth into my neck. That's when I began to feel lightheaded. I was losing too much blood.
There was a gunshot, and Caelan howled. He swiped across my chest, leaving three long cuts, and jumped out of the window Skulduggery came into.
Skulduggery dropped his gun, and rushed to me. He bent down.
"Valkyrie? Valkyrie, can you hear me?" he inquired. I nodded slightly. He bent down, and picked me up effortlessly. He left his gun lying in the hallway, as he climbed back out the window. He unlocked the Bentley, and sat me in lightly. He then shut the door, and whipped over to his side.
We were suddenly on the highway, merging without turn signals, and speeding towards the Hibernian Cinema. I could only say one thing, before I passed out.
"Skulduggery…" I mumbled.
"Val?"
"i… I love you."
"I love you, too." His words echoed and blurred right as everything turned dark, and I sunk into an oblivion."
Thank you, and please review! DON'T WORRY- there will be a part two. Maybe ever three.
Review if you think that I should make a part two, and if you have any suggestions for a story, or your thoughts –god or bad- on my stories! Thank you.
