My first Skulduggery Pleasant Series Fanfic! Enjoy!
This takes place after Mortal Coil but I decided to completely disregard the fact that Tanith is taken over.
Disclaimer: If I owned this story would I really write what 'SHOULD' happen on Fanfiction?

She was always strong; Always by me even though she hardly knew anything.
He was the strong won and I would always be there for him.
"Till the end."
When we were together we were unstoppable. She was a goddess in all her rigous fury.
He was there to catch me without fail when I fell. He always protected me; it was laughable to think he wouldn't.
"Till the end."
I was over whelmed and I didn't see. We were fighting a mob of deranged vampires after blood and seeing I was "dead" they all went for Valkyrie.
I'd been holding my own until I felt the other side of me, the Darkeese side shift, like a restless monster waiting to break out of its shell. Like a vampire waiting for the night, ironic. It was gone before I could register and the vampires took advantage of my distraction.
"Till the end."
I only heard the scream. I didn't see her fall. I wasn't there to catch her.
My body was never found. I knew it wouldn't be. What they found was my reflection surrounded by vampire blood.
"Till the end."
I couldn't think straight. I could see the body wasn't Valkyrie but where was she? The reflection might have fooled a newbie or a human but had she really expected him to be fooled?
I hadn't. I assumed he would know it wasn't me and wonder why I faked my death instead of simply manipulating the air to throw me back up. But he couldn't know, not ever. I would protect him from myself.
"Till the end."
The mortal police put it down to suicide; a misunderstood teenager. Seen it all before. In the magical community I had search parties everywhere looking for her, Tanith and Ghastly had breaks in-between searches but I never stopped.
So I ran. I knew he wouldn't stop, but I had to save them all from the monster inside me.
"Till the end."
We searched all of the British Isles.
I ran.
"Till the end."
We searched France and Germany.
I ran.
"Till the end."
The search parties gave up, and soon so did Tanith and Ghastly. I never stopped looking.
And I ran.
"Till the end."
I never realised how much my partner meant to me till she was gone. It was like a never-ending ache inside me, but I didn't succumb to its embrace. Valkyrie needed me.
I always knew how much he meant to me. More than saving the world, more than Fletcher, more than anything. That only strengthened my resolve. More than anything, I had to save Skulduggery Pleasant.
"Till the end."
I almost gave up, my faith wavering when I found her.
I'd been careless and staying in one place too long.
"Till the end."
I hugged her so tight and although she tried to pull away I held firm.
I had to get away. Too long in his embrace and all my running would have been in vain and my resolve would crumble and I would return home.
"Till the end."
"Why did you leave?"
He deserved to know and so I told him.
"Till the end."
I needed to know, all this pain and effort and longing had been channelled into finding Valkyrie and why she left.
"After the remnants attack and I discovered Darkeese was still there. I could feel her trying to break free."
"Till the end."
She'd been fighting herself to save us. To save everyone.
I could see he understood, he always did. I wish I'd told him sooner.
"Till the end."
I protected her so she could rest and focus.
He stayed with me for weeks, helping me learn to control myself. Making me laugh with his dry humour.
"Till the end."
When she decided she was ready to rejoin the world I embraced her again and it all became so clear. Like I had just worked out where the centre of the universe was. It was tieing every part of my being to this girl.
He hugged me and I didn't want to hide anyore.
"Till the end."
There was something I had to tell her.
There was one more thing I had to say.
"I love you. Till the end."
