Darquesse's Decision

by inasiriusrelationship

What happens after Darquesse leaves Skulduggery and China? Is Valkyrie really gone? If not, what remains of her personality? What control does she have over herself? Will she destroy the world? The time may come when she needs to make a decision. But which one will do it, and what will it be? Who will influence her? (fletcherie, follows canon until the end of LSoDM)

A.N. – Hey, so I wrote this really fast, part of it during a class and another one now in my bed; my exam is tomorrow and I needed a stress relieve…

Anyway, please enjoy :)

"Hi."

Fletcher frowned; he'd caught her when he'd seen her fall, holding her in his arms, worried more out of instinct than anything else; come on, you see the girl you love fall down and you don't stop to think if it's really her or a mass murderer wearing her face and body, right? You just grab her.

And there she was, in his arms, smiling. But it wasn't just that.

"Your e-eyes…"

She slowly put one of her arms around his neck, her seductive smile widening.

"I was surprised you could actually see me. I don't think even Skulduggery could."

Would you kindly let go of him, please? And STOP that!

Fletcher's eyes widened once more. Darquesse chuckled.

"Oh, and you can see Valkyrie too?" She asked, sounding pleasantly surprised, her other hand sliding up his arm. Great, his attention was back on her.

Quit it!

Geez, Val, relax…

Darquesse removed her arms from around him and stood up.

Thank you.

The poor boy looked like he was going to burst in a ball of smoke.

"Sorry about that. She's a little… possessive."

"Y-you are…"

She raised a hand to her mouth in an almost convincing 'ups!' moment.

"Oh, where are my manners?" She extended her hand out to him. "We haven't formally met, yet. I'm Darquesse."

He made no move whatsoever, standing there, frozen.

"You know, smoking hot goddess who kills the world and is currently living in your ex-girlfriend's body? Can reattach her head, grow new limbs, turn people inside out and still look good while doing it? Does any of this sound familiar to you?"

Fletcher kept looking at her like she'd just appeared out of thin air.

"Guess not." She muttered, clicking her tongue against her mouth and removing her hand.

He finally seemed to be able to form coherent words.

"So V-val…"

She touched her finger to her head and smiled.

"Up here. But you already catched up, didn't you?"

If I'd known you were just going to flirt with him, I wouldn't have left you out.

Oh, come on Val, let me have my fun!

Darquesse smiled and turned back to Fletcher.

"We're just getting started…"
