Chapter 8: First And Most Important Job

Chapter 8: First and most important job.











A/N: Hey! I know, it's been ages since I last posted, which by the way, had a really good excuse for.



You see, I was waiting for a suggestion, but nobody said anything, so the job has fallen on to my shoulders. It wasn't pleasant, I tell ya, but it wasn't that bad also.



i had to do like 33 poems, 3 stories which had to have at least 20 parts... sad, I know. And I have to do all of those by the end of this term. This is the most busies term ever! I also have to worry about high school, special learning program, the S.E.A.L program. Specially Elected Accelerated Learning program and my report. I've been mucking around a bit in class lately... so I'm scared.... :(



Anyways, here's the new chapter. Hope you enjoy!!!

Chapter 8:











Valkyrie's POV:













Australia was hot, dry, but beautiful. The opposite of Ireland. It's beautiful as well, but almost always wet. (IDK if it's like that. I've never been to Ireland, in my entire life! I hope to go their one day...!) We first went to Melbourne, city.



The city in Melbourne was beautiful. Big, tall buildings, many trams and fancy hotels, like Crown. We'll be staying at Crown.



We are having a difficult time trying to get through the security, well, technically Skulduggery because he was all wrapped up. He would use he's facade, but he's facade didn't actually work in Australia. So, they obviously think he might be a serial killer.



I've been trying to convince them that he's perfectly normal/not evil. But they insist to have him taking his sunglasses, Tan-coat and hat off. Of Corse he won't do it. Why would he want the whole world to find out that he's a skeleton? He ended up with a very heated argument, with the security manager. It was hilarious just to stand there, watching.



"Sir, it's very important that we get in here." Said Skulduggery.



"And why's that?" Asked the manager annoyed.



"Well, you see, we have to go in there because we have to go and shoot a rabbit?"



"What? We don't have rabbit on the loose! Anyways, that's against the law!"



"Oh, I'm sorry sir. I didn't know that. I meant that we have to go get changed!"



"Change? You can go elsewhere to change." The security crossed his arms.



"Yeah but....." Skulduggery trailed off.



"But....?" Questioned the security guard.



"But my friend here has a..... Bad case of..... Diarrhoea! Yeah. That's it. Diarrhoea.



My jaw dropped. I most likely looked like a gaping fish, but I don't care. How dare he? Saying that I had diarrhoea.



I glared at him, hoping to burn a hole inside his head.



As if he felt me glare, he turned around, and shrinked a bit under my glare, and then using his head, asking me to act like I am.



I rolled my eyes, and sighed. This is going to be embarrassing.



I bend down, holding my stomach, whispering to Skulduggery "I'll kill you after this!"



"No you won't. You love me too much." He whispered back confidently.



"Uh huh. You just watch out." I whispered, then using a louder tone, I moaned out "Oww! My stomach hurts! I feel like to explode! Oww!"



The security man looked shocked, and then to grossed out.



"Get in, now! The toilets are down the elevator, and to your left. Hurry! I'm NOT going to be cleaning here!" he demanded.



"Okay, but sir, I must go with her. To make sure she's alright. May I go in?" Asked Skulduggery politely.



"Yes, yes! Now get in! Hurry!" he said, very impatient, and scared.



"Thankyou" Said Skulduggery.



"Jeesh, come down, dude!" I muttered.



"What's that?" asked the guard.



"Oh nothing. I just said-Oww!" I yelped again.



He opened the door up wide, and moved as far away as possible from us. We rounded the corner, making sure that the security guard is nowhere near us, and walked up to the front desk.



"Hi. I am Skulduggery pleasant and this is my companion, Valkyrie Cain. We've already booked a room on the top floor, under the name 'Erskine Ravel'."



The desk girl looked suspicious of the name, but shrugged it off. She looked up in the computer, and found the room. She gave us the key; we thanked her, and went to the elevator.



There was another couple, a girl who looked around Valkyrie's age, and a man holding a dog. The door closed, and a peaceful music started playing.



Skulduggery leaned down and whispered in my ear "Valkyrie, I can feel some bad magic in here, so that means someone who is infected by the Hatting Gabi Lason is in here. So beware. They might come on the same floor as us."



My eyes widened. "Will they reveal magic her in the elevator, in front of normal mortals?"



"No. even if they are affected by the evil magic, they are still smart enough to not show magic to the mortals. So beware. And get ready. It's going to be hard."



"Are they as strong as the remnants?"



The elevator dinged, and the couple walked out.



"No, and they don't have the same effect as the remnant as well. They can stay there for ever, without getting stuck, but they are ten times stronger than remnants."



"It might be anyone. Anyone here is able to fight. And should I be worried?"



"Worried? Oh yeah. Definitely. And I got a feeling that is the girl over there. It's mostly radiating off her."



"Uh oh." Just as I said, the elevator stopped, and then we got out, with the girl, and the middle aged man holding a dog.



The man walked down the hall, turned the corner, and walked away. Me, Skulduggery and the girl was facing each other. I took one end of the hall, and Skulduggery took the other side, trapping her in. she snarled at us.



Oh, that is definitely not what a normal girl would do.



"What are you doing here?" asked Skulduggery.



She snapped at him. Oh, this girl is not normal. "I'm here to eat. And you are disturbing me."



"Yeah. As if we are going to let you run around here, eating people." Said Skulduggery.



They eat people? My eyes bulged out of my eye sockets. Looks like they left out a very important piece of information. They are cannibalism.



"Oh yeah? Nothing is going to stop me from doing what I want. You just watch." She snarled, and jumped.



Skulduggery's gun flew to his gloved hands in a flash, and was pointing directly at the girl. She froze, and walked back.



"Hands up above your head and surrender quietly. You are hereby under arrest by an official sanctuary detective, for trying to eat people, assaulting sanctuary detectives, maybe eating someone, and I don't know, doing something?"



"Never." She snarled again, and jumped.
