(Valkyrie Cain and Dexter Vex love story)The Descendants

Small Talk

"Skulduggery said to-" Dexter began but Valkyrie cut him off.

"Watch all the entrances of the house because it's a good chance we're being watched because any accomplices of Vivi's would know exactly where my family live?" she finished for him.

"Yeah. He also said not to tell you that you were right because he doesn't want to have another giant ego to challenge his. Only to fail, of course." Vex let out a loud breath of air and walked around the room, picking up a few bits and pieces as he went. It was a girl's room, but not a girly girl. It was Pairs themed with a black, purple, grey, and white colour scheme. There were mirrors and jewellery holders filled with sparkling gems and metals, polaroid pictures pegged up on strings. The whole place looked very mature and stylish.

Dexter eyed a photograph of two gorgeous teenage girls. One had smooth bronze coloured skin with dark brown cascading hair, golden brown eyes with green flecks, perfect eyebrows, and two dimples on either side of her cheeks when she smiled. Her facial structure looked a lot like Valkyrie, so Dexter assumed this was Alice. The other girl had lovely chocolate coloured skin and striking eyes of a brown so dark it almost looked black. The extremely long, straight hair that went all the way down to her hips in a black waterfall. This was probably Vivi. "So how old is your sister?" he asked.

"Not old enough for you," Valkyrie replied in a sharp voice with a side of sass and a complementary glare.

"Val, that's not what I meant." Dexter laughed at her reaction.

"It'd better not have been." She snapped but then softened, still looking out the window. "She's seventeen now."

"She looks like you," Dexter told her, putting back the photo.

"The last time I saw her she wasn't even two," Valkyrie said sadly, tears came to her eyes and she began shaking. "And the last time I held her was when I killed her."
