CHAPTER 5:

Fletcher gently brushed Valkyrie's fringe from her face, her eyes were closed and she was smiling. "Hey, why did you stop? I'm still hungry." Fletcher pulled the picnic rug from under her and placed it about two metres further away from the water. "We're about to get soaked, the tide's rising." Valkyrie peeked around Fletcher's shoulder at the water, it was creeping further up the beach. She looked around, the sand was white, and the sea was a light turquoise colour.

She put her sunglasses back on and opened her mouth. Fletcher grinned and put a chocolate coated strawberry on her tongue. Someone cleared their throat loudly behind them and Valkyrie opened her eyes. Ghastly and Skulduggery peered down at them. "Guess this means that you guys are back together, huh?" Fletcher blushed and Valkyrie nodded once. "It's time to go and get Tanith, everything's organized and ready. I hope we didn't disturb anything important. I'd be careful if I were you Fletcher, Skulduggery might get jealous." Ghastly winked and walked away, smiling to himself.

I wanted to put more detail into that one but I was rushed :l
