THIS WILL BE THE FINAL PART TO MY STORY.
Valkyrie eyelids fluttered open. She was feeling dizzy and hot. Next to her she saw Skulduggery sitting on a chair, still as a stone statue. He didn't notice her wake up so she knew he must be meditating.
"Hi," She whispered. Skulduggery straightened up and turned his head to her.
"Hello. How are you feeling?" He said.
"Tired and my head really hurts," she replied, rubbing her head where she has been hit. She could feel a large scar under her fingers. Nye had done a good job stitching her up but, judging by the amount of pain she was in now, it didn't give her any pain killers. Valkyrie had a feeling it did that on purpose.
Skulduggery nodded."I'm not surprised."
"What happened to Ray?" Valkyrie asked.
"I arrested him. He's being dealt with by the sanctuary as we speak. You know, he was a rather good fighter and I had to handcuff him while you were asleep. I could've been killed. Worst still, he could've ruined my suit," Skulduggery joked.
"Hey! Don't try to put the blame on me. At least I wasn't the one who forgot to check the ceiling before being taken down by a psycho."
Skulduggery tilted his head. "He caught me of guard. It didn't occur to me that he could climb walls."
Valkyrie brought her hands to her face in shock. "Oh no! The great Skulduggery pleasant made a mistake! How could this be?"
"Your just jealous because I'm not the one lying in hospital wearing a pink gown."
Valkyrie looked down at her self. She was wearing a pink hospital gown with rabbits on. 'Damn,' She thought to herself.
Skulduggery's voice softened. "I'm sorry Valkyrie. I should have been stronger. He could have killed you and I don't know what I would do without my partner."
Tears filled Valkyries eyes. 'Was she about to cry?' A tear started rolling down her cheek. 'Oh no. Why was she crying. She didn't feel like crying. This head injury must have been more serious than she thought.'
"Are you crying," Skulduggery said. He sounded worried.
"No. It's...It's just a trick of the light."
Skulduggery got up and sat next to her, wrapping his cold, bony arm around her shoulder. "You forget that I'm too smart to be fooled," He said gently.
Valkyrie tried to let out a laugh but instead she sobbed and her tears started to flow like rivers out of her eyes. She buried her head into Skulduggery's chest and he hugged her more tightly. They stayed like that for the longest time and every so often Skulduggery would whisper comforting words to her.
"It's going to be fine. Your alive. I'm alive. That's all that matters," he said.
Valkyrie sniffed and pulled away. "Yeah. We make a great team."
"The best,"agreed Skulduggery
They both shared a small laugh but it didn't last long. Skulduggery patted her on the head.
"Until the end Valkyrie."
"Until the end Skulduggery."
