Chapter 1: Discovery

A/N – Ok, so this story in my opinion is not very good so I would like everybody's opinion. Please review. Val is 21 and Tanith is remnant free as Dr Nye found a cure.

As Valkyrie touched her mirror to resume her mundane life, she felt the memories find a place in her brain. O ne memory caught her attention.

Her reflection had been reading a book on the sofa. Her mum came home from a 'Mummy and Toddler' meeting.

"Steph, you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing that concerns you dear."

The memory slipped away. 'Why was mum acting so weird? She might soon realise that the reflection in fact wasn't her real daughter.' Valkyrie thought, 'Oh, what am I worrying about. It can't be that bad.'

Meanwhile, Tanith and Ghastly were heading towards Ghastlys office to talk about their date. Suddenly, they crash into someone rushing around the corridor. It was two people they had crashed into. Valkyrie's parents.

"Elder Bespoke, we have been looking for you." Desmond said.

"I only have a few minutes so please be quick." Ghastly replied.

Tanith's face was full of shock and surprise. Tanith and Melissa stared at each other, shocked at their meeting in the Sanctuary.

"Um, Dennis dear." Melissa stuttered.

"Yes Lucie."

"Um… This young women with Elder Bespoke here is a friend of Stephanie's."

"Oh, that's troubling." Desmond – or Dennis – replied.

"Well, what is it you wanted to tell me." Ghastly demanded.

"Ghastly…. Don't you realise what's going on?" Tanith said with a concerned look.

"No what?"

"These are Val's parents." Tanith whispered.

"Oh," Ghastly said, now in thought, "Should we tell them?"

"I think we should," Tanith said hesitantly, "ok, Dennis is it? Lucie is it? Ok well I would like to inform you that you do not need to worry about me telling your daughter about this world because…" Tanith hesitated.

"Because what?" Lucie asked, curious.

"Because she already knows."

"What?" Dennis screeched, "Since when?"

"Since she was 12 years old, so 9 years now."

"What?" Valkyrie's parents screamed in unison at this new information.
