Why hello, there. What the hell are you don't here? Oh yeah… Nevermind.
OK, so this is a Songfic Drabble thing for you guys that was inspired my the scrumptious, magnificent, genius… Sabrina Sparrow! You all should check in with her stories- they're amazing. Even if you are a Fletchyrie person, like me, you'd like them. I mean, I don't pick sides anymore. All of the stories that I've read (which is, like, a lot) I've learned to live and let live.
Oh yes, and for all of those who didn't know, my brother died recently while on a school fieldtrip to Japan when the earthquake. So if you or anyone close to you is affected by the quake, you're in my prayers!
Now onto the story…
Woah, woah, one last thing- these are all songs on my i-pod that I'm putting on shuffle. OK? Proceed.
It's Not Over- Daughtry
Valkyrie Cain was trapped.
Again.
But this time, it was different. Oddly –enough-, the dark-haired girl wasn't running from the weekly bad guys, or kidnapped, or saving the world. She was, however running.
Again.
Not from those damned vampires, nor Lord Vile, Serpine, Vengeous, or a pack of wild zombies. No, not this time. But she was running. Not physically, nor metamorphic ally. Rather, from herself.
I was blown away.
What could I say?
It all seemed to make sense.
You've taken away everything,
And I can't deal with that.
Valkyrie Cain knew well that she was going to come over her body, possess her, soon enough. Cassandra had showed her, and she had seen it with her own eyes. And there wasn't much she could do to stop herself- from herself.
She had tried, she went to Nye, who tried to do an autopsy on her. She was pretty sure then that all was fixed, but boy, was she wrong.
I try to see the good in life,
But good things in life are hard to find.
We'll blow it away, blow it away.
Can we make this something good?
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.
So Valkyrie Cain stood, waiting for Skulduggery to come, and pick her up. She was standing in Gordon's house. With a gun tucked in her hand. She took a deep breath, calming her nerves when she heard those familiar tyres on the street. She shrugged, and went to sit on the couch, where she looked down the barrel of the gun.
"Valkyrie?" she heard him say, the door opening. "Valkyrie?" he said again, walking into the room.
"Oh my God, what are you doing?" Skulduggery said, attempting to grab the gun. Valkyrie swayed, keeping it away. "You'll blow your brains away!"
"Maybe that's what I want." Valkyrie murmured, standing up.
Let's start over.
I'll try to do it right this time around.
It's not over.
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.
"Not Darquesse."
"Darquesse."
"Valkyrie, you can't do this."
"Oh yeah? So I should live the rest of my life, knowing that I had the power to kill every last soul on the planet, and that I might do it without mercy?"
"But have you tried yet?"
Taken all I could take,
And I cannot wait.
We're wasting too much time
Being strong, holding on.
Can't let it bring us down.
"I… I don't know if I'd be able to or not." Valkyrie murmured. "I don't have anything left to live for. Lord Vile killed my mother, father, and sister a year ago. Fletcher's begun to drink, Ghastly made a vow of silence, Tanith is possessed by a remnant…"
"And I love you." Skulduggery finished.
My life with you means everything,
So I won't give up that easily.
I'll blow it away, blow it away.
Can we make this something good?
'Cause it's all misunderstood.
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around.
Valkyrie stared at him, her eyes wide- so wide- that she nearly dropped the gun. Skulduggery took another step closer.
"You… Love me?" Valkyrie asked. Way to go dimwit. Way to ask a stupid question.
"From the first time I saved your life. I knew that you would me mine. And now, you have something to live for."
Let's start over.
I'll try to do it right this time around.
It's not over.
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.
"Skulduggery…" Valkyrie murmured, it finally dawning on her. "I… I love you, too." She dropped the gun on the couch next to her, and ran into Skulduggery's arms, furiously crying. Skulduggery held her tight, as he buried his head into her shoulder.
We can't let this get away.
Let it out, let it out.
Don't get caught up in yourself.
Let it out.
Let's start over.
I'll try to do it right this time around.
It's not over.
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.
"But… What am I supposed to do about Darquesse? And Fletcher? Ghastly? Tanith?" Valkyrie asked, pulling away.
"We'll trick Fletcher into rehab. Ghastly will talk when I told him I have a way to get Tanith back. And we'll get Tanith back." Skulduggery muttered.
"What about us?"
Skulduggery didn't answer. He just kissed her on the lips.
"We finally have something to live for."
Let's start over.
It's not over, yeah...
This love is killing me,
But you're the only one.
It's not over.
!
So how did you like it? Yay? Nay? Holy shit, that was awesome? I thought it was deep, from the heart, you know? And yes, I actually thought of how to get Tan-Tan back! I'll do a chapter on that soon, once I shuffle to the right song.
Please review, naturally.
