two world breakers in a pod

TIMESKIP: 2MONTHS

TIME SKIP : TWOISH MONTHS - just after a battle thing

Valkyrie and skulduggery were walking to the sanctuary, not because Valkyrie was probably internally but because China had apparently had a seizure or something, skulduggery didn't want to come, Valkyrie made him, China and skulduggery weren't exactly on the best of the terms at the moment, Valkyrie figured she was scared of him, it was weird as hell, when Valkyrie came to visit, she had went into full panic and begged skulduggery not to kill her, her exact words were "please, you can't kill us,not now, not when things are finally looking better" Valkyrie couldn't get much out of her after that part, she was crying and everything, and it was not like China to cry or to beg, something was definitely up. Now that Valkyrie was thinking, she had looked like she was sick and hadn't gotten much sleep, as they walked through the doors, she made a mental note to ask Amelia if she knew. As for Amelia, she was looking significantly better, and looked like she had put 9n at least 20 pounds, she had her hair cut just enough so that it was even, and just generally had more energy, this thought made Valkyrie smile, she always liked a happy ending, even though this definition wasn't the end of her story, she was never the less glad that things were looking up for her

When they reached the front desk person, they were told that China wasn't in a fit state to see anyone, but Valkyrie was quickly ushered into a room when they saw her state, Valkyrie looked at herself in the full length mirror in the hospital room, she really wasn't in the best of states, she had a scratch along her face stretching from her left eyebrow to the right corner of her lip, a black eye forming, what she guessed to be multiple broken ribs and her jaw wasn't working right, opps. She hated the way the blue hospital outfits rubbed on the slash on her stomach, they were horrible and itchy and horrible

"your looking rough" skulduggery said from the other side of the room, not looking up from the book he was reading

"i feel every bit of it" she moaned

"why does fighting have to hurt so bad" she said

"im not sure, maybe you should have tried talking. To the meanie bad guys first" he said, still not looking up from his book, Valkyrie vaguely recognised the cover of the book, "to kill a mockingbird", she also reconsidered this as his favourite book, he had tried to get her read it a few times, she could never remember all the weird names, like what sort of name was maycomb and attocus,

"oh haha! She said "because that would totally work"

he shrugged, still not looking up from his book

"never tried it" he said (okay from now unt8l I say he's nid looking up for9m his boik )

she sighed (like 6 I think?) "I don't have to try it, I know it wouldn't work"

he shrugged again "you'll never know I guess"

"guess I won't" she said laying down on the hospital bed. Valkyrie hated hospital beds, more specifically the blankets, they were the worst, most itchiest most horriblest things EVER.

Valkyrie sighed(7) and buried her face in a pillow just as skulduggery's phone pinged, and skulduggery sighed (8)

"I have to go, I'll be back"

"alright" Valkyrie said

Just before skulduggery left the room Valkyrie perked up

"Wait

he turned in his heel to face her

"do you want to be my favourite skeleton, like, ever" Valkyrie said

skulduggery sighed (9) "what do you want"

"if you pass by Gordon's house can you pretty please get me a blanket" she pleased

skulduggery stopped as if to contemplate her idea, then sighed (10) (bro be running out of his non existent breath real quick)

"fine, I'll be back soon"

Valkyrie stared at the ceiling in response to this

a pov of Amelia since I haven't done one yet

play crazy girls by toopoor. trust me.

Amelia was looking through the library, silently humming to herself (do t queusion it alr8ght?)

she picked up to kill a mockingbird (guess my fav book (not including sp) level: impossible) she had seen skulduggery reading it a few times, and he looked like a well read skeleton, wait, if skulduggery is the only living skeleton, does that technically mean thhat all living skeletons are well read, anyways, not the point. She grabbed a snack and a bottle of water and curled up on a chair next to the fire, she had been told by valkyrie its like an honor if china lets you eat or drink in the library, and it had taken her years to get to the point where china allowed her. She laughed at the thought, china had ften said that she was the most import thing in her life, although they had only known eachother for a few mnths, amelia didnt doubt it was true, she had developed a motherly affection for her, but never in a way that would try and replace her real parents, this got amelia thinking, would she want her to replace her parents, as assholley as they were, she had to feel some form of love to them, a bond maybe? Amelia knew that she always said that she never wanted to even think about them, but was that really true? 

yes, yes it iss, amelia smiled mentally at the thought. When she was first told that she was going to live with the imfamous China sorrows, she was nervous, scared even, and she wasnt scared to admit it, she had heard stories of her ruthlessness and selfishness, but yhose people just didnt know her like she did, she was never any of those things to her, she would always take time out of hr day to teach her aboout the languages of magic, and had even carved some sigils onto her, there was this one cool one on her shoulder, its use was kind of boring, but it looked cool, 

anyways she would always tell her she has such a bright future, and that she was going to be a great big sister, althoughh she wasnt supposed to tell anyone about that. 

She found herself thinking abut what she called "the bad men" they would come to chinas door, and amelia was to hide in her room and be sure nobody saw her, she never knew what happened to the bad men, all she knew is that china would walk into her room, almost always out of breath, and sometimes with a bleeding cut on her face, and then they would go out and get something to eat, sometimes theyd go somewhere fancy, others they would just go to the gas station, amelia found it hilarious that theres almost always atleast one marriage proposal, and multiple deep seated love conffesions, she would then walk away, follow it by saying there was only one man she ever truly loved, but he didnt love her back. this made amelia sad. really sad.

little more wholesem than usual, js thought id do that after the deppresing one shot that you all read, but im rly proud of this chapter and i think its one of the best yet :)

anyways, i thought id dive into what ges on with amelia a bit more :D
