Skulduggery Pleasant oneshots

Open up

Of course Valkyrie loved party's. But this was one she couldn't get behind. She was staying with Fergus and Beryl for a week while her parents went on holiday and they left for the night because its Friday and they wanted to go out so Carol and Crystal decided to throw a house party. Eventually it felt like there entire year showed up and it was loud and full of older, drunk, mortal teenagers that were incredibly annoying and a group of them had taken over her room and would not leave. She was tempted to punch them but thought it would be a bit suspicious. So, when it all got to loud and the party had been going on for an hour and showed no signs of stopping, she left.

Val called a taxi and went just to the bottom of Skulduggerys. She didn't tell anyone where so was going or leave a note or her reflection because it refused when it heard what she wanted it to do and her phone was dead, it wasn't the best plan but if she stayed any longer she would have killed someone. She climbed up the hill and tried the door. It was locked. Great.

Going round the house she looked for open windows but couldn't find one so eventually Valkyrie went to the front again and knocked. You know, like a normal person would. "OPEN UP BONE HEAD!" she yelled. A minute later the door opened and there stood Skulduggery.
"WHY are you here?" he asked, she barged passed him and said,
"The twins are having a party and if I stayed there any longer I would have murdered someone." She collapsed on a chair and wrapped a blanket around herself, closing her eyes. Skulduggery sighed and shut the door. He left her to sleep after that.

Pov change and time skip

Crystal and Carol were freaking out. They woke up and cleaned the house before realising that Stephanie wasn't there and there parents would be home any minute, and then Stephanie's parent would be here in an hour to pick her up. Neither of them saw her but they asked around and one of their friends said they saw her leaving. They were so dead.

Just then the door opened, "Girls were home!" Their Dad called. There Mum walked in and asked,
"Where's your cousin, were just going to drop her off now."
"That's the thing, we don't know where she is.
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"We had a party last night and apparently she left and we didn't notice and now she won't answer her phone but Julie said she left around 12:30 and we have no clue where she is!"
Their Mother pailed.

Place change

Val woke up feeling a hell of a lot better than she did last night. Looking at the clock she swore. 11:30. "Your awake I see." Skulduggery walked in.
"I need to get back now!"
"Just call."
"My phones dead."
"CPR?"
"Be serious for once."
"There's a charger in the drawer."
"Thanks." She hurried oner and called Crystal the second it hit one percent.
"Omg Steph where did you go we were so worried we thought you were kidnapped!" came her frantic voice through the screene.
"It's ok it got loud and there was no where for me to go so I went to a friend house." Technically she wasn't lying.
"Right well can you get home from where you are?"
"Sure, they can drive me."
"Thank god, bye"
"Bye." She turned ti Skulduggery.
"I never agreed to this." He said.
"It was in the contract when you took me on as your partner to be my personal driver."
"What contract? I never signed anything."
"The non-existent one. Now come on!"

Valkyrie arrived home on time and her parents were none the wiser that their daughter had spent the night at a living skeletons house instead of her aunt and uncles.
