Hi people! This is my first story…and, yes, this character is not in the movie. I just like the plot she works into! Lol…thanks for reading my stuff!
Disclaimer: Unfortunately for me, I own nothing. If I did, the movie would probably end Victor/Emily. I'll hafta write that in another fic! ENJOY YER READIN'!
Before Victor's "accident," the Van Dort family were outcasts in society. After his encounter with Emily, the Corpse Bride herself, the family wasn't just outcast, they were made fun of. As you can well imagine, sales in the family business plummeted. Nell and William were upset with their son, but didn't blame him for all of this, being the good parents they were.
The Smithson family seemed to always turn out on top. Every one of them was blessed with good looks, no matter what other family they had genetics from. Each one went to a good school, got good jobs with good pay, and went out into the world to accomplish. They were all courageous and outgoing, except for one.
Lilian Marie Smithson had the shyness of a newborn kitten, but she also had the beauty of the ocean after a storm, the voice of an angel, and the musical talent of a bluebird. She took compliments well, but never believed them. Her parents had told her about her "place in life" at an early age, that women were to be seen and not heard, have children, and never to be a burden; they were worthless. Unfortunately, she believed them.
Lily, as she liked to be called, was the first choice for the Van Dort family when arranging a marriage for their son. They knew what a sweet girl she was deep down, past the shyness and the finishing school. Nell had planned fifteen years ahead of time for Lily and Victor to marry at the age of twenty-three. Lily had fallen ill in early October of the year they were to be married, and was not expected to survive it. Consequently, the marriage could not take place.
The second choice was Victoria Everglot, the only daughter of Maudeline and Finis Everglot. As you may have guessed, that's when the Corpse Bride incident happened. Victor then married Victoria; Emily, not truly set free, returned to the Land of the Dead; Lily, of all times, recovered miraculously. What does this have to do with anything, you may ask, why are you telling me about this Lily person? The answer, my friend, is simple.
Victor and Lily were in love.
Sorry that was so short…I tend to make these pretty short…Okay, review, flame, message me, kill a bug, WHAT EVER!
LUVS!
