CHAPTER 15:
Valkyrie walked into her room and noticed a lot was missing, her telly, her phone, her Nintendo dsi, her iPod, her laptop and her curtains. Valkyrie was furious when her mum came in to see what her dad had done. "Steph, where are your curtains." Valkyrie shrugged and looked out the window, Fletcher stood on the pier. He pointed to himself the waved his hand then he pointed to himself then the floor at his feet. Valkyrie pointed to him and waved her hand and he disappeared.
Valkyrie was lying on her bed and staring at the ceiling when her mum came back in and hung up her curtains. "This was all I could persuade him to give back, he's really mad and I don't blame him." "Mum, I know I did something wrong and I'll live with the consequences. I'll pay for everything the baby needs; I'll get a job and save up. It'll be fine, I promise. And I've got Fletch to help." Her mum sighed and sat down," You can't count on Fletcher, Steph." Valkyrie nodded. "And I've got my best friend, Tanith will know what to do, she always does. Do you think you can sneak my phone back?" Valkyrie's mum walked down the stairs and about ten minutes later her phone was slid under the door. "Keep it well hidden from your dad."
Valkyrie called Fletcher and he answered on the second ring. "Hello, Val are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm grounded though."
"Tanith wants to speak to you."
"Put her on then."
"Hey Val, how did it go?"
"It went terrible and I'm grounded by the way."
"Ha-ha, so what was the story?"
"Drunken night out, now he thinks I'm an alcoholic."
"And are you?"
"No! Of course not."
"Good to know and how are you going to afford it?"
"Not sure I said I'd get a job but I've got one. Don't get paid for it though."
"Skulduggery might pay you if you ask him nicely."
"Hmmm. I don't know, maybe."
"Hey do you want to come shopping tomorrow?"
"I can't my dad's having a CCTV camera installed in my room."
"Your dad's a pervert."
"That's what I said."
"You could call the cops on him, he beat up your boyfriend and now he's peadoeing you."
"I'm tempted, he even asked my mum to starve me for a week."
"Jeez, that's illegal you have to call the cops on him, it'll be funny."
"I've got to go, he's coming with the camera guy, love you Tan, bye."
It would be really weird to have a CCTV camera in your bedroom; I've got them at school and the catch me out on everything. It's not fair. :L (next chapter is three months later)
