This was a idea from Cynthia, So all credit goes to her and not me. :) and this is kind of a spoiler for the story i wrote... :)
Songfic: Skulduggery paced the living room angry. Valkyrie didn't like it when he got angry. It usually meant bad things.
I can't escape this hell
So many times I've tried
But I'm still caged inside
Afterall, he was a black hound. Valkyrie was worried he would lash out even though he does have control of himself. She had heard about The Fury Of The Skeleton Detective. She took a step back knowing he was very angry. He had found out about China. He would probably go on a rampage and when he turned Valkyrie would have to control him and keep him here even though what China had done is unforgivable, she has changed but that doesnt mean Valkyrie will forgive her. Not after what she had done to her most trusted friend. She couldn't believe it.
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
Finally Skulduggery stopped pacing and turned into a black hound. Valkyrie had to stop him no matter what. "Skulduggery!" she called. He turned around and looked at her with those yellow eyes.
So what if you can see, the darker side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
"Please, stay here for me." Valkyrie pleaded. She didn't know whether it was going to help or not but she needed to do everything to stop him from going on a rampage. She looked straight into his eyes and she didn't know why but her eyes were watering. She could see Skulduggery stopped baring his teeth and put his ears back meaning he felt sorry for her.
I can't escape myself
So many times I've lied
But there's still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare, I can't control myself
He slowly walked towards her. He was absolutely huge. He towered above her. He lowered so he was at eye level with her. Valkyrie didn't realise what she was doing but she instinctively reached out and touched his neck feeling the soft, midnight black fur.
So what if you can see, the darker side of me

She realised what she was doing and pulled back and looked at the floor. "Sorry, I did that without thinking." she was really embarassed and felt her face burn. Skulduggery made a noise that sounded like a chuckle and nudged her gently.
She looked up straight into his eyes and realised there was something different about them.
but she couldn't exactly tell what it was he was feeling right now although, his ears were forward which meant he wasn't as angry as before. She had to distract him. She hugged him. "Please stay with me. I love you." she pulled away from him and realised something was tugging at her ankle. She looked down and realised what it was.
"Skulduggery! Something has m-" she was cut off the last thing she saw was a black hound try and make a grab for her but fail and she was dragged under the floorboards to the caves.
Help me believe, it's not the real me

She conjured a flame in her hand, even though it wasn't very big, it was enough for her to be able to see.
It took her a moment to realise where she was.
She realised these were the caves and because she had been here a couple of times before, she roughly knew where she was. She looked down and remembered that these caves were full of monsters that were attracted to magic so she snuffed out her flame and thought for a moment.
She couldn't believe she'd finally told Skulduggery she loved him. What would he think? He was probably disgusted by her right now and would never want to talk to her again and he would probably leave her here to die. Her heart sank. Valkyrie had only realised this now but she had a fever and her legs were weak but so was she. She pushed all thoughts aside and had to carry on, no matter how she was feeling, she just had to get out of here. She looked around for anything familiar to see if she had been here before with Skulduggery. She sighed. Skulduggery.

She recognised these parts. All she had to do was run ahead then turn left and climb a ledge. She did exactly that.
She ran on ignoring the pounding headache and her screaming muscles. She just had to get out of here because that's all that matters. Eventually, she got there. She climbed up and realised she was outside Gordon's house. She was so tired, weak and ill, she collapsed on the grass gasping for fresh air.
Skulduggery came out of the house still in his black hound form. Valkyrie was beginning to feel cold and began to shiver even though she was sweaty because of her fever. Skulduggery picked her up gently and carried her inside the house and lay her down on her bed. He could tell she was ill. He lay down next to her on the bed keeping her warm and comfortable. He licked her cheek as if to say 'I love you too'
