I would have updated a lot quicker but life got in the stupid way again :( I hope you enjoy this chapter. There are absolutely no spoilers for anything in this chapter :D
Okay I think I've fixed the format problem. I'm so sorry, I looked at it and it was like an attack on my eyes o_0 so I tried very hard to fix it
enjoy…..
Valkyrie groaned and eased off her boot. She hissed in pain and stared at her swollen ankle. It was big and purple and painful.
"That does not look good." John commented from the other couch.
She sighed and picked up a big bowl.
"That doesn't look good either."
Valkyrie couldn't help but laugh. The substance inside the bowl looked like mud and it smelt like mud and, it was mud. Healing mud that would take out the swelling and fix her ankle within three hours. She couldn't do much to help the bruises all over her body or the grazes on her head until she had the time and privacy for a good long bath.
Her ankle was most important to fix however. The injury prevented her from defending herself and therefore she was a liability and danger.
She stuck her foot into the mud and her ankle immediately started to tingle. She sighed in relief.
"So, are there any good television shows on?" She asked John.
"Umm," He frowned. "I think Game of Thrones is on."
"What's that?" She asked.
"You've never seen or heard of Game of Thrones?" He asked in disbelief.
She smiled in self-consciousness. "No, not really. I don't have time for tv shows but I do like horror movies."
"Well, you're gonna love this." John got up and turned the tv on.

"Looks like no body's home." Skulduggery muttered. "Professor Ryu? Are you in?"
The professor's office was empty. Almost half the books from the bookshelves were gone and the desk had practically been flipped over.
"He must have left in a hurry. But why?" Skulduggery frowned and looked at Sherlock. He was knelt down next to the fireplace and sniffing. "Found something?"
"Nope." He stood up and smiled.
Skulduggery looked down at the papers thrown around the room but they were just marked exams from students.
"Where would he go?" He thought out loud.
"Did you ever learn to read?" A voice asked from the door. "There's a sign on the door that says trespassers will be punished."
"I must have missed it." Skulduggery answered and turned towards the voice.
Four big men were standing in the room. They were wide in the shoulders, wide in the arms, wide in the legs and wide in the head. They were huge and taller than Skulduggery was.
"Well, when we're finished with you, you won't forget it again." The biggest man cracked his knuckles menacingly.
"Okay, I'll promise not to forget if you promise to send Kuro Ryu our regards." Skulduggery smiled.
The man laughed. "I'm gonna enjoy this."
"I very much doubt it." Skulduggery muttered.
The men moved with surprising speed. Two came at him and the other two moved towards Sherlock. Skulduggery slipped under the first punch and jumped away from the next punch.
"I'm sad Cain's not here. I would have liked to have been the one who brought her in." The man goaded.
"You sent people after her?" Skulduggery asked, his voice alarmingly quiet and calm.
"Um," he hesitated.
"Of course we did. She's gonna be slapped in handcuffs within the next ten minutes probably." The man's friend laughed. "She'll end up crying from pain soon."
Skulduggery moved. He kicked out like lightning and smashed the man's nose deep into his brain, he was dead before he hit the floor.
The first man froze. "You, you killed him."
"He threatened my partner." Skulduggery's voice was not his own. It was sadistically low and darkness seemed to surround him. "And so did you."
xXxXxXxXx
"What?" Valkyrie demanded. "What? How?" She demanded angrily at John. "But, how?"
John shrugged.
"How can they do that? You can't kill him. Is he going to come back?" She was completely lost and baffled.
"He got his head chopped off. Of course he can't come back." He laughed at her reaction.
"The writer can't just do that!" She ranted angrily.
"George RR Martin is the best writer in the world probably." John continued.
"I… I have nothing to say." She was completely baffled and angry.
He chuckled. "And you've only watched three episodes."
She sighed. "Do you want another drink?"
"Yep, fill her up." John smiled.
Knock Knock.
"That must be the ice-cream." He jumped up to answer the door.
Valkyrie licked her lips in anticipation of her choc-mint ice-cream seconds. She poured another two glasses of creamy soda.
Something crashed and she looked up just as John slammed through the coffee table. She jumped backwards and looked at the four new men standing in the room. They were massive, enough to make her halt and consider just running.
John groaned and climbed out of the glass remains. "They obviously didn't eat our ice-cream on the way otherwise they'd be cooler."
She chuckled. "Maybe they should eat it now and cool off."
One of them opened their mouth to say something but Valkyrie pounced. She slammed an elbow into his face and kneed him hard in the groin. She was relying on him being slow but he was fast. He smacked her hard across the face and her world spun.
John ducked under a grab. He punched one of the men hard in the chest over and over again before slamming two fingers into the front of his neck. He fell backwards gasping and spluttering for breath.
Someone grabbed him from behind and rammed him into the wall. His head was grabbed and slammed into the wall again. He kicked out behind him and felt the man's knee cap break. He spun quickly and elbowed him hard in the temple.
The man fell clutching at his knee.
John looked up as Valkyrie punched a man hard in the face and pushed him as hard as she could into his mate.
"Val, watch out!" John called and ran forward but the man whose knee he'd broken, grabbed his legs and he fell painfully to the ground, slamming his chin onto the floor.
He looked up just as the fifth man grabbed her from the side, spun her around and threw her through the window. She held onto him and he slipped, they both fell.
"VALKYRIE!" John yelled.
"Whoops, that was an accident." The men laughed.
He snapped. He charged forward, slammed his head into the man's. He wrapped an arm around him and brought him hard down to the ground on his head.
The last man grabbed him and pushed him backwards. John stumbled, grabbed hold of the curtains, slipped and fell out the window.
He gasped as the wind rushed past him and clung to the long curtains. The curtains ripped and he fell onto the concrete.
He hissed in pain and looked up. Valkyrie was clinging to a man's back and he smashed her back into the wall. She cried out and the man threw her to the ground.
John went to help her but a man landed on his feet in front of him. He was standing perfectly fine and smiling at him.
"You want me to cry out in pain?" He asked.
John shrugged. "It would have been nice for you to at least pretend it hurt a little to fall from a fourth storey window."
"Correction, I jumped." He smiled and pulled out a knife.
John charged keeping close and holding the blade away from him. The man head butted him hard and he fell backwards.
He continued it as a roll to his feet and grabbed Valkyrie.
"Time to run." He gasped and they ran.
Valkyrie was leaning heavily on him and he slowed down a little.
"No, faster. I'm fine now." She told him and began running properly.
"Looks like we won't get our ice-cream." John chuckled bitterly and she laughed.
John bringing out the moves! He's smashing heads around :D just again I have not seen Game of Thrones so anything about it in here could easily be wrong :P
