Hello

Playground school bell rings again

Rain clouds come to play again

He leaned against the car and waited, hearing the thunder mix with the sound of the school bell ringing. He looked up and could see the rain threatening to pour out of the sky like a faucet. "Skulduggery!" He looked back at the college campus and saw her smiling face racing towards him. Those eyes, so full of fire and life warmed his soul. And these days...his soul needed all the warmth it could get. With his secret of Vile and her secret of Darquesse, the darkness threatened to consume them both. But they found balance in each other. He waved at her and was about to call her name when he saw a silver glint in the air to his left. He turned to see Sanguine in the shadows, watching Valkyrie run towards them....a blade in his hand. He turned and saw the skeleton detective watching him and grinned. Even from where Skulduggery was standing he could read the lips of Sanguine as he mouthed, "Say goodbye." "Valkyrie!" Skulduggery yelled out, throwing up his hand to push the air at Sanguine. But even as he watched the air move to Sanguine, he saw the assassin lift his arm up and throw the blade. Time slowed as the air pushed Sanguine back and Skulduggery turned to look for Valkyrie. She was bent on one knee in the grass in a ducking position. Skulduggery breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you alright?" he called running over to her. She looked up at him and he watched in horror as she fell down to the grass. "Valkyrie?!" He knelt next to her, picked her up and laid her in his lap. "Val?" he breathed. He could see the red blood around her mouth now and the blade that had missed the moving air protruding from her abdomen. She felt so lifeless in his arms. "Valkyrie?" he whispered. Her eyes looked up at him and she tried to speak but blood gushed from her bright lips. "Shhhh don't talk sweetheart. We are going to get you to Kenspeckle and you will be fine." He could feel the dread building up in his chest. Her eyes turned sad as if she knew that his words were a lie. She struggled to lift her hand up and pull his face down gently and kiss his teeth. With that kiss he felt her last warm breath spread over his face and her body grow still. He pulled up and said, "Valkyrie?" Her eyes, so full of life earlier were now cold and unyielding in their eternal gaze. He shook her slightly. "Valkyrie? Honey? Wake up. Please....wake up....for me?" Rain started to fall but he didn't feel it. "Sweetheart please stay with me. I need you to wake up for me ok?"

Has no one told you she's not breathing?

"She is dead Skulduggery."

Skulduggery whipped his head up and look around him but no one was around. "Who is that?" he demanded.

"You know who I am, Skul."
