Valkyrie stumbled backwards and cursed herself for being so damn stupid. She swiped widely, hoping her hand made contact with Sanguine or Tanith. It didn't.

She called out Skulduggery's name and heard his distant reply of 'Valkyrie.'

Then she felt pain. Pure agony. She looked down to see a small cut in her stomach and a dagger on the floor. She could hear distant sounds of Tanith shouting at Sanguine and Skulduggery, calling out her name. She frowned, that small cut shouldn't be hurting as much as it did. She grimaced in pain, and looked at the small cut, it was getting bigger and bigger. Darquesse should have come out, unless.. Unless..

"The daggers a god killer." She heard Tanith shout at Bily-Ray. "You lied to me!"

At some point Skulduggery must have reached Valkyrie, because now she was lying in his arms.

The pain was unbearable.

"I'm sorry, Valkyrie. Don't go, I need you." Skulduggery was saying over and over again.

Valkyrie smiled and held Skulduggery's hand. "Hey." She said softly ignoring all the pain. "It's not you fault."

Skulduggery was looking at Valkyrie now.

"Do me a favour? Don't blame yourself for this, find a new partner and live on." Valkyrie said smiling the best she could through the pain.

Skulduggery looked at her. "I'll try."

"No. You won't try, you'll do it, or I'll steal you hat."

"Ok, I won't forget you." Skulduggery whispered.

The cut was now ginormous, both Skulduggery and Valkyrie, knew she didn't have long to live.

"Goodbye Skulduggery Pleasant. You're the best thing that has happened to me. I love you." Valkyrie said and with all her strength lent up and hugged Skulduggery.

"I love you too, Valkyrie Cain." Was the last thing she ever heard.

I might do another chapter or two, about when Valkyrie met Skulduggery's wife and daughter and her funeral. I'll only do that if you want though, so say in a review if you think I should or shouldn't. Sorry its not very long! Please review! And I was wondering if anyone has a better name for this story, if you do please tell me!
