Night Walker

Chapter 1

*Ghastly POV*
I bolt up in bed, hearing a noise from downstairs. I grab my phone, prepared to get a photo if it's a criminal for the sanctuary. I slowly get out of my bed, getting my powers ready. I creep down the hallway, reaching the stairs. I peer down into the darkness, trying to see a sign of intruders. None. I inwardly sigh, and use air manipulation to cover the noise of my steps, and descend down the stairs. I couldn't see where i was going, but I knew where the light switch was. I took a deep breath, preparing. I quickly flicked the switch. The first thing I noticed was the fact that my door was wide open. Second, that Valkyrie Cain was standing in the middle of my lounge room, staring at the floor, her hair covering her face. "Val?" I mumble, confused. She doesn't reply, She just stands there. I quickly take a photo for Skul, so he knew what happened and then called him. "Ghastly?" He murmured, yawning. "Skul, val is in my house!" I state, confused. He pauses. "What do you mean?" He asks, bewildered. "I don't know how! I woke up when I heard a noise, came downstairs, and turned on the light. She's just standing there, staring at the floor!" I whisper, worried. "Try and talk to her" he states, as I hear him getting in his Bentley. I nod, keeping him on the line. I slowly walk forward. "Val? Are you ok? What are you doing here?" I ask, walking closer. She still doesn't reply. I reach a hand out towards her, just as Skul arrives. As soon as my fingers touch her, she collapsed. I quickly grab her as Skul rushes in. I place her on the floor as skulduggery try's to wake her up. He checks her pulse. He freezes, then starts pumping on her chest. "What's wrong?!" I yell, dropping next to him. "She doesn't have a pulse!" He cries, his hands shaking. I reach down and give her mouth to mouth, trying to revive her. Suddenly, hands push against me, shoving me to the floor. "Ghastly! What are you doing?!" Val shrieks, sitting up. Me and Skul freeze, worried and confused. "Where am i? Am I at yours? Why? Is this some kind of prank?!" She growls, now angry. We stay silent. Skul immediately pushed her back down, holding her there. "Skul! Let me go! Wh-" "SHUTUP!" He yells, making her freeze. He grabs her wrist, feeling her pulse. He slowly turns to me. "She has a pulse." He states, void of emotion. Val just stares at us like we're crazy. "Well no shit! Now let me go and explain!" She screams, glaring at us. "That's not it!" Skul snaps, getting up. "You didn't have a pulse!" He screams, confused. She stops, confused. "What do you mean? What's going on?" She asks, slowly.
