I uploaded my new story, I hate the title though, it took me forever to find one! Please, give me a new title, please! And I still need a new case. For now I'll focus on the new member and maybe some on shots. Btw, to address our group of heroes should they be called gang or team? Or just they?
RANDOM DAYS… *SIGH*
Vendetta got a ride home Skulduggery and Ghastly drove Tanith home too. Vallyrie was driven home last.
"So, which house?" Skulduggery asked.
"Um, home home." Valkyrie decided.
"Home home?"
"Yeah, you know. With my creepy reflection and stuff."
"Oh, that home, OK."
"Hey, Skul. Thanks for letting Vendetta join us and stuff."
"Eh, we do need her though. But she won't be like the joining you and I, she'll be at the same level of help as Tanith and Ghastly. Get it?"
"Sort of. I wonder what Ghastly is making her? I'm thinking an overcoat fashion but it cuts at the waist. And her pants would be super tight like Tanith's but have boots like mine."
"What about the rips?"
"Um, double fabric. Like, an inside liner with a separate colored fabric that's sandwiched in between and a strong leather that's carefully ripped but is as strong as the middle fabric. Man, I should've been a designer!"
Skulduggery laughed dropped off Valkyrie than drove off. Valkyrie stepped got to the window sill and found her reflection doing homework. But not writing anything.
"What the hell? You're supposed to be doing the work." Valkyrie said.
"I did do it, I got bored after though." It's face didn't look innocent as it did 6 years ago. It's face look exactly like Valkyrie's too.
"You don't get bored, I do."
"I don't theoretically, but Stephanie does. I'm going into the mirror now." It walked inside the mirror and Valkyrie touched the surface and weeks of memories flowed in dramatically. Everything was normal, except there was Fletcher in it's memory.
"Why did you see Fletcher?"
"He flashed in to find me and took me to Australia, he had a blast." It smiled wide.
"Did he know it was you?"
"No, why should I have told him?"
"Crap! Why? He's obsessing over me. You will be gone when I graduate, I'll only take you out if I seriously need you to. Got it?"
"Oh, yeah totally. Good night." it stepped out of the mirror and slipped into bed, Valkyrie was furious. "Get out and go into the mirror, now."
"Fine." it whined and stepped in. Valkyrie went to bed and woke up with the reflection gone, so was her stuff. Dagger, phone, Ghastly's tailored clothes, her new ring.
The clock read 11:34 AM. Valkyrie rushed down carefully to find no one home. She used the home phone to call Skulduggery.
"Where are you?" he paused for a moment and said, " I took your reflection instead of you. Sorry."
"Damn it! Skulduggery! Could you not tell the difference?"
"No, I couldn't and I normally do. What did you two do last night?"
"First it got bored than stole my bed, I woke up to find all my stuff gone, get back here." she demanded.
"Fine, I'll be there as soon as I can
On the other side of the phone…
Skulduggery got a call from the reflection.
"Hello?" he answered.
"Hey, I'm ready can you pick me up?"
"Yeah, I'll be there in a few, bye." Skulduggery came a few minutes later in his Coupe.
"Hey!" is said.
"Hi…? C'mon he got to pick up Vendetta."
"OK." it got in. half way between Haggard and Vendetta's house Valkyrie called. When Skulduggery hung up the reflection smiled.
"What just happened?" Vendetta asked from the back.
"I took the reflection and not Valkyrie, oops."
"Nice job, Romeo. Lets go." the reflection still smiled.
They got to Valkyrie's house. The reflection walked in and the two switched clothes and Valkyrie got in, mad.
"Sorry. But that thing does a killer you." Skulduggery said, trying to lighten the mood. Valkyrie said nothing except punch him really hard in the arm. He slightly grunted but not bad.
"Happy?" He asked sarcastically.
"Yep, c'mon lets go." Valkyrie played with the radio until she found a good channel.
"I hate to be a drag but can you start the car?" Vendetta asked. Skulduggery revved the car and drove off to the Sanctuary. Ghastly and Tanith were waiting outside for them.
"What the hell took you so long?" Tanith demanded.
"Twiddle idiot picked up my reflection, instead of me." Valkyrie explained.
Tanith looked at Skulduggery unimpressed and the two walked inside the Sanctuary followed by the rest.
"Is today important?" Vendetta asked.
"It's not , we just need to be here." Valkyrie said.
"OK, it's just that I didn't do this when I was patrol."
"But your not patrol, you're an ally. And a when you're not working with us you are a detective. Cool right?"
"Can I get a partner?"
"Yeah, you're not assigned one." They walked around for a bit, not knowing what to do. Detective Rife Tenterhooks was talking to an employee.
"Hey, Rife." Valkyrie said.
"Oh, um, hey guys!"
"Rife I want you to meet Vendetta." Vendetta stepped forward and shook his hand.
"I-I'm a big fan." Rife said quickly.
"Um, thanks? Did you get a job here?" She asked.
"Yeah, I just did. From the Chinese Sanctuary."
"OK, cool.", She glanced at Valkyrie and Skulduggery and said, "Did you need a partner? I got hired than fired than re-hired in a month. I could show you around…?"
His smile almost broke his face, "I would love to, but not right now. Later?"
"Oh, um yeah sure." Rife took a turn and still kept smiling.
"Hey, Val. What does his name mean?" Vendetta asked in a whisper.
"They both mean, to be alive or eager." Valkyrie laughed.
"Great", Vendetta muttered, "My partner is going to himself now."
Skulduggery and Tanith overheard and joined in with Valkyrie, laughing at Vendetta who blushed a little bit, her hand splayed making a close by water fountain spill on all of them.
"Holy crap, really Vendetta?" Skulduggery said, drenched. Her hands splayed again making the water go back in the fountain. Skulduggery was still drenched though. His own hands splayed making him dry.
Instead of the water going back inside the fountain Skulduggery threw it at Vandetta who counteracted it making it revert back to Skulduggery. Drenched again, the water finally made it's way back to the fountain.
"Is this what I have to deal with?" Skulduggery asked.
"Yeah, she's just that awesome."
"Uh, huh."
