Alright guys, well this is the ending of this story. The lyrics belong to The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. I will be writing a second story for this soon. Thanks guys for sticking with this one! I'm really glad that you guys like it!

TWO MONTHS LATER

It's been a quick turn around in events theses last few months. We never really found out what Serpine wanted, but we are all guessing that it was to kill me. I've been trying to hold the evil felling in, but whenever I get mad, I feel it creeping up. There's been no sign of other enemies from Mum and Skulduggery's past, but if they ever decide to show up, my guess is that they are waiting. Mum and Skulduggery have been dating for a few weeks now and I'm not sure what to think about that.

I watch as Tanith walks down the isle in her ivory white dress.

Did I forget to mention that she and Ghastly are getting married?

They decided they needed each other more than they thought. I look at Ghastly and he winks at me. Tanith's father brings her to Ghastly and kisses Tanith's cheek. The ceremony is quick and you can tell Tanith had been waiting all day to say 'I do" because she interrupts the minister with a loud exited "I do!"

I laugh and look at Mum who's standing next to me. She roles her eyes but smiles at her goofy friend. "You may now kiss the bride," the minister says. I smile and bite my lip to keep my self from laughing at Arturius's over dramatic disgusted face as his parents kiss.

At dinner, Mum tells the story of how she and Tanith met and the first time she went on Tanith's motorbike.
Skulduggery tells the story of how he and Ghastly met. "I never knew pirates could lead a person to their best friend," Skulduggery says. "We almost died, but then again who can count how many times that's happened over the years, and yes there are times that you can be extremely irritating, and yes there have been times where I had the idea to cut your head off with a toothbrush," he gets a bunch of strange looks at this, "but if it weren't for those silly people with silly hats I never would have been able to meet you. So, Ghastly, congratulations."

The rest of the night is a blur. The dance for the newly wed is a performance by Arturius. He picks up his guitar. I realize that he's never actually played in front of a crowd before. "Um, hi," he says awkwardly. He looks at me and I nod my head to give him courage. "Mum, Dad, things have been tough lately, but we've been able to recover. I chose this song because it reminds me of your guys' relationship and because, well it's true for me too." He looks at me and winks and I can't help but blush. "This song is by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and it's called "Your Guardian Angel."

He starts strumming his guitar and singing.

"When I see your smile

Tears run down my face

I can't replace

And now that I'm strong

I have figured out

How this world turns cold

And it breaks through my soul

And I know I'll find

deep inside me

I can be the one

Ghastly pulls Tanith to the dance floor and starts gracefully dancing.

"I will never let you fall

I'll stand up with you forever

I'll be there for you through it all

Even if saving you sends me to heaven

"It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

Seasons are changing

And waves are crashing

And stars are falling all for us

Days grow longer and nights grow shorter

I can show you I'll be the one

I see him looking at me. Mum elbows me playfully.

"I will never let you fall

I'll stand up with you forever

I'll be there for you through it all

Even if saving you sends me to heaven

"Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart

Please don't throw that away

Cuz I'm here for you

Please don't walk away and

Please tell me you'll stay, stay

"Use me as you will

Pull my strings just for a thrill

And I know I'll be okay

Though my skies are turning gray

"I will never let you fall

I'll stand up with you forever

I'll be there for you through it all

Even if saving you sends me to heaven"

Seeing every one here, tonight, all smiles and laughter makes me think of these last few months. It was hard on everyone. We lost people we loved, but we also gained others. Relationships were tested, and proved stronger than hate. I killed two men, I let my evil side out, nut everyone did at least once. We all grew closer proving that pain can be a good thing.

I look at my partner Skulduggery Pleasant, my mother Valkyrie Cain, my friend Vaurien Scapegrace, my boyfriend Arturius Moon, and the people who took me in when I was thirteen Ghastly Bespoke and Tanith Low. I can't imagine life without any of them. They are all family, all friends, all people I love.

If I do have people chasing me, they are the people I want to be by my side. If I'm like Mum and have an evil side, all of these people are the ones I want to save me.

But now is not the time to think about that.

Now is the time to celebrate my friends.

Now is the time to love my family.
