Synopsis:
Something feels off to Valkyrie.
Chapter 3: Off
She awakes to the satisfying cracking of her own stiff bones as she unsuccessfully attempts to untangle her body from a web of white sheets.
There's something off.
She rubs her eyes slowly before dragging herself across her room and to her bathroom. She fills a tub with water and admires its languid incline.
There's something off.
Shaking her head, Valkyrie slowly drops into the awaiting tub. The water is not too cold or too hot, but a dull medium that does nothing to settle her mind or body. She cant switch off her racing brain, but her body doesn't seem to want to cooperate either, instead operating in a pace akin to a snail-and-tortoise crossbreed. Something is wrong.
In two hours rather than thirty minutes, she will eventually drag herself out of the tub, the water long gone stale and stationary.
...
Skulduggery cant help but feel off. In 24 hours his partner had not called nor texted him that she had arrived home safely.
In the past day, Valkyrie Cain had gone silent and he thought he would never see the day.
