Asleep ~ Emily Browning
Valkyrie walked inside her house. She slugged up the stairs to her bed and took out Skulduggery's revolver. She tried all she could do, he was forever lost in the other dimension. What else could she live for?
Sing me to sleep,
Sing me to sleep
I'm tired and I
Want to go to bed
She quenched the handle, making her decision. She checked the barrel, only one bullet was present. Valkyrie peered into the shaft and brought it to her temple. Hesitating, she slowly readies herself. Here we go, she thought.
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
Fletcher popped in instantly, quietly. He saw Valkyrie moments before pulling the trigger.
"Valkyrie!" she looked at him.
"Fletcher, leave me alone." she pulled the gun away and put it beside her.
"Why?"
'Cause I will be gone
don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go
"He's gone, OK? We'll never get Skulduggery back. The Grotesquery is destroyed. His skull was incinerated. There's no hope, Fletcher." Valkyrie brought her knees to her chest and sobbed into them. "Ghastly is a statue, Tanith is a remnant, plus if I die there won't be Darquesse-"
"What about me? Valkyrie, I'm still here and I'm not going anywhere."
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore
Valkyrie looked at him, tears streaking her cheeks. "But I, I."
"I may not be a swordsman, a tailor and your best friend, but I care about you."
Sing to me
Sing to me
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore
"But where were you? You never came when I needed you the most, Fletcher." she wiped the tears away and put the gun away.
"I'm sorry, Val, I really am but you can't kill yourself just because you feel all is lost."
"But it is."
"I can help you, we can at least try to get him back."
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go
"But it's impossible, I've done everything possible."
"You've done everything you can do, but we've haven't done anything."
"Fletch, it's not possible. There's no Isthmus Anchor anymore."
"We just haven't looked."
There is another world
There is a better world
Well there must be
Well there must be
Well there must be
Well there must be
Well…
Valkyrie nodded and smiled. "See? Val, nothing's possible, I didn't think I've seen you smile since Aranmore Farm." he parted her hair from her face, "I love you."
Valkyrie hugged him tightly and whispered, "I love you so, so much." she pulled away and looked in his eyes. "Fletcher, you think it's possible? To get Skulduggery ba-"
"Valkyrie, anything is possible." she smiled again and pulled him to a gentle kiss.
Bye bye
Bye bye
Bye…
Alright, I literally haven't posted since March, so sorry! It's my first songfic, what'd you think? Good? Bad? Meh? I know most of you hate Fletcher but I've turned off from Valduggery love, and why not give him a shot. At the moment I am a huge Duskguine fanatic! More because it's unusual than practical, but it seems right. Plus, I think Sanguine (not Dusk, ew) is hot. That's why I made him date Vendetta
