This is set in Fletcher's POV. I don't own anything. It starts about the same time as the last one, at a meeting between Fletcher, Ghastly, and Tanith.

Fletcher
Another day, looking for her. I don't want to have to look for her anymore. I know why we do, but that doesn't mean I like it. I loved her, I still do. Even though she's the world destroyer now, doesn't mean that she can't still be my Valkyrie. But she's not mine, currently she's Darquesse. And even if she was Valkyrie, I've seen how she looks at Dexter and how she acts around Skulduggery. I'm just the pathetic ex-boyfriend she cheated on with a VAMPIRE. Not to say I wouldn't get back with her in a heartbeat, but the opportunity won't arise.
"Fletcher, pay attention!" Ghastly. What does he know about being distracted by a broken heart. He has Tanith, now that she's no longer possessed by a remnant. He even got to detainee Billy-Ray, and no one bothered to investigate that disappearance.
"What?"
"You need to pay attention. We're discussing extra security for you."
"Why do I need extra security? There are people everywhere and I could always just teleport away."
"But would you?"
"What do you mean? Of course I would!"
"From Darquesse?"
"...yeah."
"That wasn't very convincing. You still love her, even if you did get a girlfriend, and she loves you."
"What makes you think that? She could love Skulduggery, or Dexter, or a great number of people here! Why do you think me?"
Tanith spoke up now, "She never stopped loving you."
"How do you know? You were possessed!"
Ghastly's eyes flashed, and I could tell he was trying not to hit me for that, but Tanith just looked me in the eye and said, "I know my sister, and I know how she feels about you. I know what it's like being a teenage girl, and I know that Darquesse will kill you to hurt Valkyrie. Now, we don't want that, and I don't think you do either. So we're taking extra precautions so we don't have to bury you to. Ok?"
I gulped, I couldn't argue with that, so I just nodded.
"Good, now, they'll start tomorrow. It's late we should all go to bed."
"Goodnight." I said, then teleported to my living room, where I saw the person I'd been dreaming about seeing again, but also been dreading. Valkyrie. Or Darquesse. Or whoever she was.

Dun, dun, DUN! I know I'm mean. And that I said I would update randomly, but Fletcher was begging to have a chapter, so I had to let him.
