Saving Valkyrie Cain

by Sadistic Creator of Death

Valkyrie Cain. She was strong but not strong enough. She gave up the fight a long time ago and is now kept in a far away prison that only certain people know of. She was wild and didn't seem to really give a damn. That was until that a certain dark Professor re entered her life. Can he save her like everyone says. Will Skulduggery ever be forgiven

1. Chapter 1

Valkyrie Cain gripped the bars of her cell. Squeezing them so tightly her knuckles went white and the metal groaned beneath her strength.

Professer McGonagall winced.

Valkyrie leaned her head against the bars and listened closely.

"She is becoming dangerous by the minute, Professor. We need to do something, now. Before it's to late. Before we lose her completely."

"Hopefully," the old woman replied, "What I have in mind will help."

"What is it that you have in mind. Nothing can get to her. Skulduggery Pleasant has given up on her."

So that's why she hadn't seen him in ages. He'd given up one her. Valkyrie was furious. How dare he. After all those promises. And he still didn't stay..

"Well maybe an old enemy will awaken the Valkyrie we know."

Enemy? Did she hear the wizard properly. Why would her so called enemy help her when her Best Friend, her Husband gave up on her.

Valkyrie scoffed.

She heard the gaol guard whimper.

"Are you sure, Professor?"

"Yes, I am. Professor Dumbledore would have wanted it this way."

Valkyrie looked up in time to see Severus Snape stalk into the room. His dark assessing the room and when they landed on her he stopped short and made a show of turning around again and leaving the room, looking troubled.

McGonagall looked at the gaol guard and he followed suit. Calling Snape worriedly on the way out.

Valkyrie backed away as McGonagall took a step towards her.

"Valkyrie..." She called softly and Valkyrie went back to her old position. The old woman kneeled on the other side of the bars.

"We're going to help you, Miss Cain."

Valkyrie rolled her eyes and replied with:

"Can I tell you a secret?"

McGonagall nodded and Valkyrie leaned forward he heard pushed against the bars.

"Darquesse gets stronger and stronger every day," She whispered, "and when she is ready I will welcome her with open arms," She pulled back and looked at the professor dead in the eye, "I will welcome her because she promises to take away this pain. And I believe her. And I am willing to do whatever she needs me to do."
