Skulduggery Pleasant One-Shots

Just words

She had been through so much

I knew she could take it

The pain

The suffering

The heartaches

But did I want her to?

I told her when she joined up with me that she would have to take care of herself

But it never mattered

Because every time she needed me

I was there

However now

The look in her eyes of constant guilt

Grief

And

Horror

Was just starting to eat at me

Could I stop this?

This pain and loneliness I knew all too well she was feeling

After all we were one and the same

Both monsters under our skins

I never wanted to see her that way

And

I knew she wasn't the monster that I was

But

When that side of her came out

That world breaker

I

Felt

Fear

....

But not fear that I would never be able to win

But fear of losing her to that side forever

My hatred kept me a monster for so long until finally I let it go

Fear is altogether a different enemy

....

Fear never really goes away
