SKULDUGGERY AND VALKYRIE 16
VCPOV
I was actually gonna tell Skul what I was planning to say *shiver*. Good thing there was a crash, but we didn't know what or who made the crash.
"what was that?"
"I don't know, lets split up."
"right"
I went upstairs, and than another upstairs, and another. While Skul checked the basement, damn.
"anything?" I yelled downwards.
"no! nothing yet, you?"
"not yet!"
As soon as I finished I saw a flash. It was a person and than it disappeared. Fletcher.
"uh, Skul? I think were not alone!"
"who else is here?"
"well, who do you know that can appear out of nowhere and then disappear?"
"damn, what is Fletcher doing he-"
Skul didn't finish. I think Fletcher got to him, damn!
"fletch? Is that you?"
*flash*
"oh, uh… hey val."
"where is Skulduggery?"
"oh, him? He's in somewhere tropical, with pelicans and ice-cream"
"ugh! Fletcher why did you him in Australia?"
"well I thought that we should talk, don't worry I'll bring him back when we're done"
"crap! Fletcher! We all knew that we were gonna break up at some point!"
"I didn't! if you did than why didn't you just tell me?"
"well, uh… at the time I didn't know either, but everyone else knew."
"than why did no one tell us?"
"maybe they wanted us to be happy"
"but we aren't! and I know that you're crushing on that fire alarm of yours"
"you don't know anything. I-its not like that"
"I can see it in your eyes when you look at him, its been like that for about a year"
"ok. You're right. If I agree to go out with you, will you bring Skul back?"
"yes I will. Thanks."
"your wel-"
*flash*
And he was gone. God, Fletcher is so desperate he's like a little puppy. Maybe he knows I lied. Hmm.
*flash* and Skul isn't with him.
"where is he?"
"he's not there. I couldn't find him. Now back to our plans."
"I'm not going any where with you until I get Skul back!"
"I couldn't find him your welcome to tag along"
"fine but I'm not gonna hold your hand or arms. I'm just gonna touch you're shoulder."
"fine by me"
*flash*
He wasn't actually in Australia. Crap, he must've flown. I guess I'll just have to wait for him.
"take me back to Gordon."
"*sigh* fine"
*flash*
Back at Gordon's were he left me. With out hesitation I run to Gordon's study.
"Gordon! Fletcher was just here!"
"what happened? Where's Skulduggery?"
"Fletcher said he flashed him to Australia, but he wasn't there"
"hm I'm guessing that Skul flew?"
"that's what I think or did Fletcher lie?"
"I don't know, but Skul will get here sooner or later"
"that's true and I don't feel like taking cab home"
"right, so do you want to finish Top Gear with me? Or do you want to talk?"
"I don't know, how about you?"
"I think we should talk, so are you going to ask him?"
How did he know? I really with I didn't blush, its been happening a lot to me today.
"ask him what?"
"I think you know what I'm talking about"
"how did you know?"
"I think every one knows, but Skulduggery."
"do you think he feels the same?"
"I don't know, to begin with he doesn't have facial features, unless his façade is up. And he's over 400 years old."
"ya, it would just be creepy"
"you kissed Caelan, and he's really old"
"true. But I don't think I'll tell him. I'll just wait and see if he tells me"
"good idea."
SKULDUGGERY AND VALKYRIE 17

Damn Fletcher he teleported me into Australia! By why did I end up in a beach shack? Whatever it gave me some time to put my façade up. I stepped out, man Australia is beautiful. I wish I could eat ice cream. Australia is so warm. *sigh* I guess I should go back to Ireland. I think Val is still at Gordon's. I'm gonna kill Fletcher! Hmm. I guess I have to fly, I never flew so far.
Before I left I saw some one familiar. Blond, thin and brown leather, Tanith. But where's sanguine.
"Tanith?"
"oh, hey. Skul is that you? How's Val?
"yeah it's me. she's good. She still misses you though. Where's ugly?"
"aw tell her I miss her too. And sanguine? I broke up with him."
"why?"
"he's to clingy and that western talk gets so annoying after a while."
"so where is he?"
"I don't know. Is ghastly still looking for me?"
"yes, and I'm guessing your not ready to go back yet?"
"why would say that? I'm still Tanith. I still have her personality just that I have a new purpose, that's all"
"hmm. Well, I'm off"
"wait, what's the fastest way back to Haggard?"
"for you? By plane"
"they wont let me bring my bike, *sigh* I guess I'll take boat. Tell ghastly I'm on my way."
"sure" than Tanith the remnant drove off into the crowd. How can she not hit anyone?
I guess I'm off.
Up I went.
