Hello, this is my first Skulduggery Pleasant fanfic. Read, review, tell me what to improve on and make any suggestions on scenes I could do.

Enjoy.

Childhood, seconds.

Adulthood, mere minutes compared to the eternity I was damned with. He thought he was the only one, unique, for want of a better word. How wrong he was. I didn't really know what to do with myself after I came back, so I hung around the sanctuary. I eventually found him, with his sidekick, the one and only bad-ass Valkyrie Cain. He never did find out my secret and that was good. That time when he got captured by that evil bastard Serpine I showed Valkyrie where he was. After Valkyrie got taken by Sanguine to the church to feed the Grotesquery, I gave Skulduggery the address of where she was and teleported him there. When Valkyrie was getting beat up by Dusk, I put on a disguise and saved her neck. Literally, her neck I saved. Of course I knew that there would be way more situations but hey, it was fun.

After all how hard could being a guardian angel be... right?

Serpines Castle:

There were puddles here, stagnant pools of water on the uneven stone floor. The doors were no longer made of iron, but of rotting wood flickering off the torches in the brackets made shadows dance on the walls.

Someone's shadow caught Stephanie's attention, distorted by the fire. It wasn't a Hollow Man, Tanith or Ghastly. It was a girl.

'Who are you?' She asked.

'Depends who's asking.' The girl replied.

'I'm St...'

'You're not supposed to say it.' The girl warned.

'I'm trying to find my friend. Do you know where he is?' Stephanie queried.

'I do. He's through there.' The girl looked strained. 'Don't tell him about this, or anyone for that matter.'

'What's your name?' Stephanie demanded but the girl was gone. She watched the shadow fade, then disappear completely. But, after a moment the girl's shadow reappeared. Fast.

'Run!' She yelled as Hollow Men spilled into the corridor. The girl pulled out a sword from beneath her coat, turned around and began to fight the Hollow Men, the blade ripping through the skin like it wasn't there but filling the corridor with the stinky, green gas. 'Don't worry about me,' she panted. 'I'll be fine. You find your friend.' She turned from Valkyrie to the Hollow men, blue hair flinging around. 'Bloody hell, ever fancy a change of job. I'm sure the Sanctuary would LOVE you!'

Was it good, it was probably bad. I know it was short, the next one is going to be longer.
