two world breakers in a pod

advice wanted on how to set up my books pls

they were walking back to the Bently in relative silence, they were told they could come take Amelia at the end of the school day, they were trying to brainstorm who she should stay with, Valkyrie was under 18, so she couldn't stay with her, skulduggery's house isn't fit for living people to stay more than a few days, ghastlys always busy and wouldn't have the time, tanith would probably kill her by forgetting to feed her or something, Cassandra lives to far away, Dexter is out adventuring, It wouldn't end well if saracen tried to watch a child, Erskine is also always busy, when Valkyrie subjested China, skulduggery shut her down

"alright we'll just give her to Billy ray bloody sanguine then" she said rolling her eyes

skulduggery sighed

"China does make the most sense" she insisted

"Both of their parents are ex faceless ones followers, and..." Valkyrie trailed off

"hmmm" he said tapping his chin "remember what happened last time she entrusted with the responsibilities of a minor"

"okay first of all, don't call her a minor that sounds weird as like, I don't real,y know but, weird anyways, nobody knows she like exists or whatever, she only handed over Cassion because someone came to her door and asked"

"all that would be relying on the fact that the evil meanies don't have sensitives"

"I doubt it" she said "they don't tend to be very smart"

he sighed (damn for a skeleton with no breath he sure loves to sigh)

"are you saying you have yet to face a worthy adversary"

"Going off topic"  aljyrie said

"right" he said

"I still don't trust her" he said

"I don't either, but she's kinda are only option" she said

skulduggery sighed (IM HONNA KEEP COUNT IN HOW MANY TIMES SOMEONE SIGHS STARTING NOW 1)"I'll ring her and see what she says, I highly doubt she will agree though" Valkyrie nodded, looking out the window as the scenery that was slipping past her came to a slow, and then stayed rooted in place as the car stopped and skulduggery got out and made the call

skulduggery stayed outside for just a moment, and when he walked back into the car, she could tell he was confused

"you good?" Valkyrie asked

"she agreed without hesitation"

"hmmmm, that doesn't sound like her"

"The only things she said is that she can't take her today"

"why" Valkyrie asked perplexed

"she's busy" he said with a shrug

"hands on the wheel" Valkyrie said when skulduggery took his hands off to shrug

"right," he said

When skulduggery had dropped Valkyrie off at Gordon's house, he said he'd be back in a few hours, then drove off to cemetery road

Valkyrie decided to take a shower while she waited, she felt the water cascade over her, washing away the weariness of the day.

when she had gotten out and changed, she went to a mirror and lifted her shirt slightly, just so she could see the long wound on her stomach, from this, she determined, she had a wound kn her stomach, she really is a detective, that Cain. When she had finished her detective work, she made one of the guest rooms for Amelia to stay in, then ordered a pizza for later

when skulduggery eventually came back, it was dark out, and raining, booo (idk I love rain but Valkyrie looks like someone who doesn't, so ye)

So she put her coat over her head and ran to the car, as the mud squelched under her boots, the rain seemed to heighten in severity, and only cleared up once she was in the car

"take your shoes off" said skulduggery from the drivers seat, she sighed (2), and complied, not having the energy to retaliate, (probably used it all up trying not to eat the pizza XD). She pulled a towel out (don't ask from where, im the author so I can do whatever the hell i want 😘, anyways, im probably annoying you soooo, continuing) and put her boots on them, being very careful not to let any mud touch the precious floor of the Bentley,

"no!" Valkyrie shouted after a couple moments of silence

skulduggery looked over at her

"Eyes on the road idiot , if it weren't for me, we'd all crash, and probably like, die or... something, be stranded maybe, I don't know?

skulduggery sighed (3) with his non existent breath and went back to driving "why did you shout thoug' he asked

"my rain drop lost the race" she said sadly

"im not even going to try and understand" he said, being careful not to look away from the road

Valkyrie drummed he fingers on her legs and rested her chin on the window thing, suddenly she felt very very deppresed, (bae I think ur bipolar), probably due to the rain and sad song playing, she kinda felt like she was in one of those cringey like, Taylor swift music videos (pls don't drown me in a bowl of soup taylor swift fans, my sticky notes get here today (thank god Amazon prime) and I kinda want to live to get them, thank you)

well, hope you enjoyed, my parents have been calling me for like 15 minutes to come eat pizza, so I'm going to go eat pizza, (save me I don't like pizza)
