CHAPTER 3:

Valkyrie had her head down, looking at the floor as she followed Skulduggery through the sanctuary. She was lagging behind and she hadn't said a word to Skulduggery all day, he knew something was wrong with her.

They arrived at Ghastly's office late because of Valkyrie's slow walking. Skulduggery offered her the chair but she sat on the floor with her back against the wall and her head down. Ghastly watched her for a couple of seconds before addressing Skulduggery angrily, "What's up with Val, how does she know about it?" Valkyrie raised her head, "Know about what?" Ghastly looked confused, he questioned Skulduggery again, "If she doesn't know then why is she so upset?" Skulduggery gave a slight shrug, he watched Valkyrie closely for a minute. "I don't know. She hasn't spoken to me all day, if you tell her she might cheer up, though."

Ghastly cleared his throat loudly before speaking. "Tanith has been located and taken into custody in the American sanctuary and she will be being transferred to our gaol until we find a way to rid her of the remnant." He smiled to himself. Valkyrie took a minute to digest the information, they had Tanith. "How is she going to get here?" Ghastly pretended to consider this for a moment, probably deciding the best way to say it. "We are going to collect her and bring her here ourselves." Skulduggery nodded slowly, deep in thought, "You mean we are going to America? It's the only place in the world I have never been, this should be interesting, to say the least."

I really don't know whether to write a bit of the journey of not, so maybe I'll just put in a paragraph. It'll probably end up being longer than that though :L
