Uh, it's a bit all over the place... But I liked it XD
Mum and Dad,
I'm sorry. I know that you think I ran away because I was unhappy at home, but the truth is, I miss you every day, I want to be back home and I want to see my sister grow up. But I can't, because that would mean putting all of you, the people I love so dearly, in danger.
This may sound crazy, but I am leading a double life.
Do you remember the night I stayed alone in Gordon's mansion after he died? You picked me up and as I hopped in the car you ask me if the night had been eventful. I had replied, no, it wasn't, when in fact that was the most eventful, life changing night of my life.
There's magic in this world, Mum and Dad, magic and spells and vampires and demons. And that night, I became a part of that world.
You remember Skulduggery Pleasant, the odd man who covered up his face and you couldn't see any skin, at all. He's my mentor, teacher, and a skeleton.
For years, I've been learning how to throw fireballs and how to use shadows as weapons. I've made friends and I've fallen in love. From the age of twelve, I worked for my world's government, fighting bad-guys and locking them up. Skulduggery and I are detectives; I've seen dead bodies, people being killed, zombies and vampires, and I have even killed some people myself.
In my world, we have three names- our given names (Stephanie) our taken names (Valkyrie Cain) and our true name, the name we're not supposed to know, but I do anyway.
A few years back, the psychics started having visions of the Mage who would destroy the world- Darquesse. I saw myself images of her killing people, even killing you.
I am Darquesse- she's the dark side if me, my alter ego, and I left because I wanted to protect you.
I was possessed once, along with thousands of other people. We were possessed by Remnants, who wanted to Darquesse to take over me. They did, Darquesse was let lose, and I killed people.
I want you to know that I love you three more than anything.
Steph
