Valkyrie looked at Raven and then Dusk. Dusk stared at Raven and then turn towards Valkyrie and started to run towards Skulduggery.

"Where are you going?!" Valkyrie asked running after him.

"My father has her under his control somehow" Dusk answered her. Valkyrie frowned and Dusk stopped running.

"Someone has to talk some sense into her" Dusk continued.

"Cant you?. I mean you are her brother" Valkyrie asked. Dusk looked at Skulduggery and answered Valkyrie without looking away from Skulduggery.

"It might work better if its someone she loves" Dusk muttered. Valkyrie frowned and looked at Skulduggery and then something clicked in her head.

"She loves him" Valkyrie whispered. But Dusk was already running again towards Skulduggery.

Skulduggery used the air and blew Timmy into the wall. Dusk ran up to Skulduggery.

"We will handle Timmy, you take care of Raven" Dusk told Skulduggery. Skulduggery was confused at first but when he looked at Raven he understood.

Skulduggery ran to Raven and stopped a few feet away.

"Raven?" Skulduggery asked. Raven didn't respond and hissed. They both started to move around in circles Raven never took her eyes of off Skulduggery.

"Raven, Its me Skulduggery" Raven hissed again. Her head started to hurt. She leaped at Skulduggery and tackled him to the ground. She punched and he blocked and then rolled over and leaped onto his feet. Raven charged at him and Skulduggery dodged one of her kicks.

"Raven you must remember!" Skulduggery said while he dodged another punch. Raven stopped attacking when the pain in her head became worse, she put her hands on both sides of her head and hissed wanting the pain to go away. Skulduggery took his chance and walked up to Raven. Raven shoved him away and hissed at him. Ravens body then came covered in shadows and she fell to her knees. She grabbed the grass beneath her which died once she touched it. She started to scream and the pain in her head was now burning, it felt like her brain was melting.

Skulduggery slowly walked up to Raven and kneeled in front of her. He grabbed both her hands. When he grabbed her hands. He didn't turn to dust or die his bones grew flesh and organs grew inside him.

"Raven please remember, I love you" Skulduggery whispered.

Valkyrie threw a fireball at Timmy and kicked him across his jaw. She turned to see Raven and Skulduggery both kneeling on the ground. Raven was covered in dark black magic and Valkyrie gasped. Skulduggery was holding Ravens hands and kept turning back from a skeleton to a human and kept on going back and forth.

Raven screamed as the burning in her head was painful. She couldn't hear or feel anything but she heard a faint whisper coming from Skulduggery.

"Raven please remember, I love you"

Raven gasped and everything returned to her. The burning pain in her head faded to just a headache. Raven felt tears fall down her cheeks and her body retuned to normal. The dark magic faded away and Raven looked at Skulduggery. She looked at his human face and notice that the rest of his body was now human as well. Raven leaped onto Skulduggery and hugged him close. He hugged her back and kissed her forehead. They both rose from the ground.

"Ha!. You've think you have won!" Hissed Harrison. They both turned to see Harrison standing a few feet away he was holding a knife which was covered in a green liquid. Harrison lunged for Raven and Raven was to weak to react. Harrison came at her to quickly and she knew she wouldn't be able to dodge in time. Someone shoved her out of the way and the knife plunged into the person's stomach. Skulduggery hissed in pain as the knife was stabbed into him. He fell to the ground. Raven looked at Harrison and clicked her fingers. Her sword came into her hand. Viper wrapped himself around the sword

"Now you die" Raven said. She smiled and flung her arm. The sword hit Harrison in the arm and he hissed. Raven jumped into the air and kicked him across the jaw. Viper attacked and hit Harrison in his stomach. He tried to punch but Raven went down and tripped him from under his feet. Raven kicked him in the ribs and grabbed him by the neck, keeping him down on the ground.

"This is for mum" Raven said. She lifted her sword above his leg and brought it down. Harrison screamed as the sword cut into his flesh. Blood poured everywhere and Raven ripped the sword out making the pain worse.

"This is for me and Dusk." Raven threw the sword up into the air. Dusk leaped into the air and grabbed the sword and as he fell Dusk brought the sword above his head. When he landed on his feet the sword dived into Harrisons chest. Harrison screamed and started to shake as blood poured out and his skin turned to dust.

Harrison Gordon was no more.

Raven ran over to Skulduggery and kneeled besides him. Valkyrie pulled out the knife and green liquid came out. Raven touched the green stuff and sniffed it. She flinched.

"Its poison" Raven sobbed. Valkyrie's eyes went wide and she looked down at Skulduggery.

"What are you trying to say?" Valkyrie asked as a tear slid down her cheek.

"His dead" Raven sobbed. Raven started crying and rested her head on Skulduggery's chest. Raven laid there and cried. Valkyrie started crying and Dusk put his arms around her.

Raven laid there ignoring the sounds around her and the noise of Valkyrie crying. Raven closed her eyes and let the tears fall freely. She sobbed and couldn't feel her legs. Her heart was beating so hard in her ribcage it hurt. Raven felt her heart breaking down and her mind shutting down. Then I single thought came into her head.

The chosen one can do things no Necromancer has ever done before……..

Raven gasped and looked up. She wiped away her tears and looked at Skulduggery. She placed her hands on his chest and concentrated.

She felt the dark magic cover her body and concentrated harder. She felt the burning pain in her head but ignored it, She shut her eyes and focused. Her body started to tingle and Raven felt the dark magic move from her to Skulduggery. Raven opened her eyes and felt the burning pain in her head fade away. She removed her hands and the dark magic also faded away. Valkyrie stopped crying and everyone looked at Skulduggery waiting for a sudden movement or sound.

They sat there and it started to rain but no one cared. Valkyrie got up from the ground and Dusk got up with her.

"I don't think its working" Valkyrie sobbed and started to walk away. Dusk gave Raven a sad smile and followed Valkyrie.

Raven sobbed and placed her hand on his heart.

"Always love you" Raven sobbed and gave him a quick kiss on his cold lips before getting up from the ground and walking away. Raven had almost reached the door when she heard the most beautiful voice.

"I'll always love you to Raven" Raven froze and turned around slowly. Skulduggery was smiling and walking slowly towards her. Raven screamed and ran towards him. Raven jumped into his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist and hugged him tight. Valkyrie appeared at the back door and also screamed. Valkyrie tackled them both to the ground and gave Skulduggery a hug. They all laughed and they all got up from the ground. Raven was still clinging to Skulduggery.

"Eh Raven you can let go now" Skulduggery said.

"Never!" Raven said while smiling. She gave him a quick kiss and jumped down. They all went inside. Dusk smiled when he saw Skulduggery and patted him on the back. Skulduggery smiled back and everyone sat down. Raven sat down next to Skulduggery and linked arms with him and rested her head on his shoulder.

Valkyrie walked into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water. Dusk also came into the kitchen and Valkyrie smiled at him. She hugged him tightly.

"Thanks Dusk"

"No, Thank you Valkyrie" Valkyrie smiled and put her lips on Dusk's. He kissed back and the two stood there for a few moments enjoying the kiss. When…….

"HOLY SHIT!" Skulduggery yelled when he came into the kitchen and saw the two kissing. Dusk and Valkyrie quickly broke apart and Raven came into the kitchen to see what was happening.

"What's wrong?" Raven asked Skulduggery.

"Nothing, just caught these two having a little makeout session" Skulduggery muttered. Valkyrie blushed scarlet red and Dusk had a sudden interest in the floor. Valkyrie was about to say something but Skulduggery bet her.

"Umm this is awkward now so am not going to say anything" Skulduggery said and then he lunged out of the room. Raven arched an eyebrow and followed him.

Raven stood holding Skulduggery's skeleton hand and looked at the black rose she was holding. She smiled and placed the rose on the grave that had 'Raven Gordon' Written in a fancy script.

"Love you mum" Raven said. She smiled and Skulduggery gave her a hug. They walked back to the Bentley but Raven came to a sudden stop.

"Something wrong Raven?" Skulduggery asked while wrapping his hands around her waist.

"Its nothing, I just feel like this isn't over" Raven muttered. Skulduggery laughed and started to stroke her cheek.

"It may be over it may not who knows" Skulduggery said with a shrug.

"If anything does happen am sure amazing wonderful me will be able to stop it" Skulduggery said cheerfully. Raven rolled her eyes and then grinned. Skulduggery grabbed her chin and leaned in and his teeth touched her lips

Valkyrie found Dusk on the balcony. She walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Something wrong Dusk?" Valkyrie asked. Every since he killed his father Dusk had been acting different. Valkyrie wanted to know what was wrong.

"Valkyrie we need to talk" Dusk whispered. Valkyrie was shocked at first but then nodded and crossed her arms over her chest waiting for him to speak.

"Valkyrie….am leaving" Dusk mumbled.

Valkyrie's hands dropped "Why?!"

"Am trying to decide what to do with my life"

Valkyrie frowned "I don't understand"

"Valkyrie listen, When I was evil I enjoyed the blood and the killing, you know being evil, killing my dad made me realise that but I also enjoyed being good as well so am trying to decide and I think I need some time to think"

Valkyrie gasped and looked down at her feet.

"I understand, I'll wait for you"

Dusk smiled and started to stroke her cheek "I may be gone for awhile but I promise you I will come back"

Valkyrie smiled "Good, and if you decide to become evil again I will kick you butt" Valkyrie joked. Dusk laughed and pulled her into a embrace and stroked her hair.

"I have a really good reason to become good"

"Really? And what might that be".

Valkyrie pulled back a bit so she could look at him. Dusk smiled. "Why you of course dear Valkyrie" Valkyrie smiled and felt tears well up in her eyes. Dusk leaned in and kissed her. Valkyrie kissed back and the kiss deepened but then Dusk pulled away.

"I love you" Dusk said before jumping of the balcony.

Valkyrie felt a tear fall down her cheek. "I love you to" Valkyrie yelled out knowing Dusk would hear. Valkyrie looked up at the stars and smiled.

"He'll come back don't worry" Raven said pulling her into a hug. Valkyrie smiled.

"Of course he will" Valkyrie whispered and smiled.

THE END.
