two world breakers in a pod

3

skulduggery walked out, Valkyrie didn't, she was tired, and therefore, didn't want to walk up all the winding staircases, therefore, she stayed in the car, and rested her head on the window, watching as the rain began to subside, wait a moment, was that a big word, she thought to herself, god she was spending way to much time around skulduggery, watching as the rain began to *clear up*, much better

by the time skulduggery had gotten back, it had almost completely stopped. Skulduggery opened the door, and amelia opened the door to the back and sat down, pulled out the same book and started reading

skulduggery tilted his head slightly "I always liked reading, especially when I was younger" Amelia just nodded

"the l8brary was always my favourite growing up" he continued" "A library is like an island in the middle of a vast sea of ignorance-" he started before Amelia, without looking up from her book , "particularly if the library is very tall and the surrounding area has been flooded." she finished, then looked up, and squinted slightly "where have I heard that before"

after a moment of waiting to see if she'd figure it out "lemony snicket" he said

she clicked her fingers, "that's it" she said, and went back to her reading

Skulduggery was explaining to her way at was going to happen, he was quite sure she wasn't listening, and he looked over slightly, Valkyrie was asleep, very asleep in fact, so much so when they pulled into Gordon's house, she didn't even notice the car stopping, so he shook her until she woke up

"whu-" she said as she opened her eyes,

"we're at Gordon's"

"alright" she said and pulled her seat up, Valkyrie opened the car door, pulled her boots back on, and walked around the side of the car, and opened the door for Amelia "huh" she said

she gave her a smile "we're here"

she nodded and stepped out, grimacing at the mud on her boots

when they walked in, alkyrie asked if she wanted anything to eat, and she nodded fervently (I didn't make that word up right 😭)

they both had pizza, and watched a movie (imagine it to be whatever you want, it could be bloody salt burn if that's what you want)

Valkyrie looked over at Amelia, there was blood pouring out of her nose "hey uh, Amelia, your nose is bleeding" she said and handed her a paper towel

she pressed it onto her nose "I'm really sorry, that always happens after I eat something, it should stop in a minute or two" she said Valkyrie smiled, still slightly unsure on what to do

after a couple minutes, and once her nose had stopped bleeding, "have you read the hunger games" Amelia asked

"I think I watched the movies" she said half heartily, trying to desperately to grasp something she could relate to at a minimal level

Amelia just smiled "you should read them( you should, there pretty good ) then yawned

"you tired?" Valkyrie asked, and Amelia gave a weak smile, the. Valkyrie smiled back, il, show you the guest room they nodded as Valkyrie led a wide eyed Amelia into the guest room "try and get some rest, long day tomorrow" she nodded and laid down as Valkyrie walked off and went to sleep

When Valkyrie woke up after a long night of nightmares and really weird dreams, she went downstairs and say Amelia on the sofa reading her book She greeted her with a sleepy smile, "Morning, how did you sleep?

she smiled sadly "not well, although, I never do" Valkyrie frowned, concerned. "I'm sorry to hear that," she said softly, sitting beside Amelia.

"It's fine" she said

Valkyrie hesitated "alright then, do you want something to eat?" Amelia shook her head, "No, I'm good for now, thanks."

"You sure?", Valkyrie asked and Amelia smiled shyly, Valkyrie smiled back and went to go make some food for both of them

Once they had eaten, they just sat at the counter and waited for skulduggery. They waited, and waited for what felt like 952 hours they wai-

Valkyries lovely train of thought was brutally cut off by skulduggery knocking on the door

When they had all got in the car, it was silent and awkward again, Valkyrie didnt like it when other people rode in the Bentley, because of the overwhelming amount of cases they've had, they rarely got to spend time together and just have a chat, but, she was always comforted by the fact she could have their weird completely unrelated conversations on the long perilous car rides, however, when other people rode with them, they tended to just sit in awkward silence.

Valkyrie watched the scenery slip by her, in contrast to the day before, it was warm and sunny today, she found herself wishing she was at the beach swimming, or just laying in the sun, she sighed (4)

Skulduggery tilted his head "you alright?" He asked

"Yeah, its such a nice day, and here i am, in a car, doing absolutely nothing"

"There will be plenty other nice days, its summer"

She shrugged and leaned against the window, trying to absorb some of the heat through the glass . The warmth did little to lift her spirits, but it was better than nothing.

When they arrived at the apartment building and made there way up to the third floor, Amelia was staring wide eyed at everything, Valkyrie was just realising how new this all was to her, she hadn't been able to get much out her, so all she knew was that her parents were total assholes and alley let her leave the house
