AN. Greetings everyone! Thanks a million for the reviews. I've been waiting so long for this chapter. I hope you like it. :)
Valkyrie's POV
Skulduggery and I told everyone about the wedding last night and now we are getting ready for it. I am now in my wedding dress (which thankfully was not ruined in the accident), my hair is done the same way as it was the night of the ball and my almost translucent vale falls down my back and trails behind me along with the back of my dress. I stare at myself in the mirror. A tear falls from my eye as I remember how Emerald reacted when we go my ball and wedding dress and when she saw me in the ball gown. God I miss her. I wish she was here today.
I say thank you to the maid who helped me dress and leave my room to meet Time who is standing outside. He smiles when he sees me and holds out his arm, "Valkyrie, you look beautiful. Skulduggery and my father are at the church. My father will walk you down the aisle as you asked." I take his arm and we walk as he talks.
When we reach the carriage I ask, "Time, do think I should tell Skulduggery where I'm from? I don't want to marry him when he doesn't know the truth. He deserves to know."
Lightning sighs, "I agree but I'm not sure if it's wise." We get into the carriage and we head off t the church.
"Your future-self came to me about a week ago. He said to follow my heart about thing that may change the future."
"And what does your heart say?"
"To tell him. I'm going to tell him before we marry."
Time nods, "Very well."
10 minutes later.
We arrive at the church and Time gets out first and then helps me out. We make our way into the church. There are very few there. It's just Skulduggery and Danger and the priest of course. Skulduggery see me and his face lights up, I don't think I've ever seen him this happy before and I don't think I've ever felt this happy before. I quickly ask Time, "Could you ask him to meet me outside?" he nods and strides down to Skulduggery as I walk out.
After a minute I feel a hand on my shoulder and someone kiss my cheek from behind. I smile and turn to see Skulduggery smiling back. Then his smile turns to a confused and slightly worried frown, "Time said you would like to talk to me? Is something wrong? Do you not want to marry me?" I hear a tremble in his voice and I quickly take his hand in mine and cup his cheek with the other.
"No that's not it at all. I still want to marry you and I will if you'll have me. There's just something I need to tell you."
Skulduggery sighs, relieved. "Alright. So what would you like to tell me, my love?"
I take a deep breath, "Skulduggery, I'm from the future."
Skulduggery's POV
Before I can say anything she tells me about how Time from the future brought her back but she doesn't know why. She'll be staying in the past. She knows me in the future and that's all she can tell me.
I stare at her shocked. She looks at me nervously and she breaks the silence, "Skulduggery please say something."
"I…I…I...,"I don't know what else to say.
"That's a start I suppose."
I shake my head, "I'm sorry I just….I'm shocked. I never expected this."
"I know I'm so sorry I didn't tell you. I just couldn't risk changing the future."
I reach out, cup her cheek and rest my forehead against hers, "I understand. You don't need to explain yourself."
She sighs and asked softly, "Do you still want to marry me? Now that you know I won't exactly act the same." She gives a small laugh and I do the same.
"Of course I still want to marry you." She kisses me and takes my hand.
"Excellent. Now let's get this show on the road!"
"Is that some future slang?" I ask as we walk into the church.
Valkyrie's POV
We take our places and Danger comes over to me, "Valkyrie you look beautiful. I'm proud to call you my daughter."
I hug him tightly and whisper, "Thank you Danger. I'm proud to call you my Father."
He smiles down at me, "I expect you to call me Father from now on."
I nod and laugh, "Of course."
He walks me down the aisle, Skulduggery and I looking into each other's eyes the whole time. The ceremony passes quickly and before I know the vows are said, the rings are on and the priest says, "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Skulduggery wastes no time and leans forward and kisses me passionately, pull me to him and holding me tight. This goes on for a few minutes until we heard the church door slam open and a roar that shakes the church. We look up to see Lightning striding down the aisle.
Hell no! He will not ruin this day! It's about time I show this bastard what I'm made of. I grin. "Skulduggery?"
"Yes?" I hear fear in his voice.
"Remember when I said I will be acting differently now that you know where I'm from?"
"Yes."
"Well you're about to see what I meant by that."
It's fighting time. FINALLY!
"Lightning, you've just pissed off your worst nightmare." I chuckle darkly.
AN. Dun Dun Dun! I hope you liked this chapter. I can't wait to do a fight scene! Please R&R. Until next time. :)
