I really want to make this a separate story so I can make it long. What do you think? I'm thinking of just doing it but I want to know how you readers feel. Are you liking this enough to want to keep reading? I want to drag out the Valduggery romance so that its suspenseful. Please review me your thoughts on this!

Enjoy-

"W-Where's Skulduggery," Valkyrie stammered as she rubbed her tired eyes.

Ghastly stared her sympathetically. "He had to go do something but I'm sure he'll be back soon." He couldn't bring himself to tell her what Skulduggery was actually doing. For God's sake Ghastly didn't even know what Skulduggery was doing but he had a damn sure good idea. Instead of divulging into bad news, he decided to grace her with some good news. "Hey Valkyrie guess what's happening tomorrow?" Ghastly walked to her side.

"What?" Valkyrie asked, genuinely confused.

"A certain leather clad, blonde woman is coming back," Ghastly said with a grin.

Valkyrie pushed herself up into a sitting position a little too quickly and doubled over in pain. She clutched the scar just below her ribs and took deep breaths. "Tanith?! Tomorrow?!" Valkyrie replied incredulously. "No way! But... how?"

"While you've been recovering she was spotted in town with Sanguine. Sanguine, the idiot, basically led us right to her. She put up quite the fight... lost eight Cleavers actually and then they finally got her," Ghastly finished the sentence with pride.

"What's going to happen to her?" Valkyrie asked.

"Nye is working on her; she's down the hall," Ghastly said with a small wave of his hand.

"Doesn't that worry you?" Valkyrie asked. Her mind cast back to when she went to Nye so it could seal her name. It was going to dissect her and experiment on the parts. Ghastly didn't know this and Skulduggery almost shot Nye for it.

"No, if anything goes wrong the Cleavers will alert us. I think I'm more worried about losing Nye. I'm sure Tanith would kick its ass... or whatever it's got back there," Ghastly admitted.

"Hopefully I'll be better by tomorrow then so I can see her properly and so I can get back to the job," Valkyrie said.

"About that..." Ghastly began. "Skulduggery has been very worried about you. All I ask is that you don't go running into risky situations without thinking. If you do I'm sure we'd see the first ever heart attack from someone who doesn't even have a heart," Ghastly added with a light chuckle.

Valkyrie smiled. "I'm not a child anymore and I don't think Skulduggery recognises that," she replied with disappointment.

"Oh he does, trust me. He's just concerned and Skulduggery doesn't usually get concerned. So just take it easy and hopefully he will be back soon," Ghastly patted her knee and left the room.

Valkyrie picked up her phone and began moving her fingers quickly, tapping the screen and typing without one mistake.

To: Skulduggery :)

Hey Skulduggery, I'm awake now. Please come back. Don't do anything stupid. I know you, and I know what you are out doing. We don't want two of us in here. I'll be waiting! ~Valkyrie

Hopefully he will get his bony ass back here, Valkyrie thought. Oh yeah, she is definitely on the mend.

Review!
