K, for now on I'm gonna say who's narrating it

SPOV (Skulduggery) VCPOV (Valkyrie) VDPOV (vendetta) GPOV (Ghastly) FPOV (Fletcher)

FPOV

When I woke up first thing I thought was "where's Valkyrie? And a mirror?". last time I was here was when Val was spliced to strips. I always forget that Kenspeckle died. So when Nye came in I screamed, "HOLY CRAP!" I think it was agitated when it heard me. Damn that thing is ugly! With its annoyingly squeaky voice it said, "Do you mind? I'm running some tests"

"on what?"

"the human… soul" it did that thing when the joker does when he wants you to smile.

"bwa hahahahahaha. I joke, do I not? Any way scary black head girl left hours ago. Now with your arms move it up, good. Down, O.k. left *crack* huh, ok you need to stay for a little while longer."

It's so weird, I didn't feel the crack but it sounded so loud and gross. Boy, why did Val leave so early? I must know, sorry Nye. I guess I'll check the pier *flash* not here. Gordon's house *flash* no. her house *flash* why am I in her room any way not here. Damn where is she?

I miss her, but every one knew this was going to happen. But me. I fear she's fallen for Skulduggery, I hope not I mean what can he offer her? I'm living, I'm warm. Skulduggery is cold. I helped her so much! What has he done to save her? He didn't open a portal, I did. He is sooo awesome but he has killed countless lives! I can teleport! All he can do is set forests on fire. In every way I'm better than him! In fact I should prove Val wrong!

And in a flash he was gone.

SPOV

We decided to drive to soon-to-be Val's house first we met up with Gordon in his secret study.

"hey Gordon. Have you heard what happened to china?"

"yes of course! What terrible news"

"ya so um do you have any clues as to who did it?"

"haven't got the foggiest"

"hey, that's what Skul said to me on the first night we met. What were you doing?"

"uh, um. I was startled when I heard a familiar voice being followed after a crash. Then I thought there's only one person who would do that."

"than you listened to the rest of the conversation"

"yes quite so I was tremendously happy when you let her tag along"

"actually she threatened to stand on my hat, than we were chased leaving my leg almost crushed by my poor Bentley witch also meant Val soon to swept away into the canal, so I wouldn't say she tagged along more like a 12 yr old putting her life in danger."

"those were the good days *chuckle"

"yes they were. Skul have you met Ms. Dare? I actually wrote a story about her, quite a power girl she is."

"yes I have actually she said she's a fan of my work, I think we'll get along quite well"

"did you just say she's a fan of your work?"

"um yeah, what research do you have on her?"

"I actually don't have anything on her, my story about her is about a crime she did back in '43. But it sounds like she did research you"

"wait she was involved with the case in '43?"

"did I just say that?"

"you could have told me! You don't know what I did to try to crack the case!"

"wait what happened in '43 and which '43 are you guys talking about? 1443? 1543? 1643? 1743? 1843? Or 1843?"

"ok Val I'm not that old!"

"ok then how old are you than?"

"well age is just a number in this case mine started in 1587"

"*snicker* really? So its like you're turning 25. Oh my god, that is too good"

"I wouldn't say 25 more along the lines of 30"

A few minutes later of non-stop giggling I took manners into my own hand.

"it was in 1943"

"what you mean Hitler? And world war 1?"

"ya something like that except not Hitler but a Nazi scientist. He was profound of the idea of twins that have blue eyes and blonde hair"

"I thought that dude used twins to multiply the number of soldiers"

"no actually that was his mentor. His protégée actually liked them for their ability to look very similar. This man knew about magic so he had an idea. He gathered up as much adepts as he could find to test on and use their ability so he can sneak behind enemy lines and create a nuclear war. But he mysteriously disappeared."

"but then" Gordon finished, "a new person took over she was quite young I never new her first name but her last name is Dare she always signed stuff with VD. So I guess that's her first name.
