Skulduggery Pleasant Spoof: China's Little Tantrum

China smiled at Valkyrie and Skulduggery as they left her apartment.

“Goodbye,” she said.

“See ya,” Valkyrie waved.

Skulduggery nodded and they walked off to the stairs.

China shut the door softly and stood there for a few moments then,

SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!

She grabbed the nearest chair and hurled it across the room. It crashed into the far wall and crumbled to the ground in a heap.

China shoved everything off of her desk then flipped the desk.

She hurled everything she could get her hands on, tipped chairs, toppled over bookcases, swung lamps like baseball bats into walls and anything she hadn’t yet destroyed.

She soon had completely ransacked her living room and moved onto the kitchen.

China continued to throw things around, smashing plates, glasses, and bowls at walls and smashing them.

She slammed into the fridge, tipping it over and jostling the things inside it around.

Soon that room too was destroyed and she continued, room to room, until she got to her bedroom.

China barged into her bedroom, slamming the door so hard that it went through the wall.

She flipped the bed and smashed her mirror over her desk.

Then took the desk and shoved it through the wall.

China took her hand, balled it into a fist and punched a hole in the wall.

She paused for a moment, breathing heavily then straightened, walked into the kitchen. Righted a chair, picked up a teapot from the floor, filled it with water then put it to a boil and filled a half broken glass.

China sat down in the chair and took a delicate sip of the tea and sighed.

“Well,” she said, “now I feel better.”
