CHAPTER 9:
Valkyrie woke up on a chocolate brown leather sofa with a blanket wrapped around her. Ghastly sighed, "Nye's still working, you know, Val. They've been in there for hours. Oh, I hope she's okay." Valkyrie blinked, "You love her, don't you Ghastly? I think you do." Ghastly chuckled, "Yeah, I do. I often dream about her, you know, weird." She giggled, "Not that weird actually, I dream about her too, a lot." She sat up as Skulduggery walked out of the white room, he had blood on his shirt, and he probably hadn't noticed it. "Nye has finished. What does everybody look so sad for? Tanith's back. She's going to live, hey; Tanith's going to be fine!"
A bed was wheeled by, on which was Tanith. Her eyes were closed, her face was pale and there were dark circles under her eyes. But she was definitely alive, the steady rise and fall of her best friend's chest made Valkyrie want to cry, scream, sing and dance and jump off a cliff all at the same time. She settled for kissing Fletcher passionately.
Kaysie is right; Val does sleep a lot in this chapter. It really should be longer but considering I've shut my finger in a door and it's actually throbbing. I've got a feeling the next chapter will be a short one as well
