Love Me Not, Forget Me Not
by Gothic Princess Tomoe
Rating: M for suicide and sexuality issues involving the main character. OC/OC pairing, pretty much. And the standard VxV.

Summary: The tale of Violetta Van Dort is a long and twisted road. First she is pulled by her ankle into the Land Of The Dead. After meeting Colleen, things seem to be going well until Violetta returns to the Land of the Living and finds out that she is to wed a man named Xavier Thomas- and she doesn't even love him! So she does the unthinkable...
Chapter 1:
Violetta is Dead
It began as a normal night- of course, with the exception of the thunderstorm outside. All was quiet thoughout the house.
Then came footsteps. Slowly and almost silently they approached the locked droor. Then came the slight jingling of a solitary key on a loop, clenched firmly in the girl's hand.
She placed the key in the lock, unlocked it, and opened. Inside lay a musket that had only been used once.
She took it in her hand and walked downstairs, toward the foyer, leaving the droor open. Once the reached the bottom of the stairs, key still in lock, musket in hand, she walked to the center of the room, facing the door.
Quietly, she whispered, "I love you. I'm coming," and put the lethal end of the musket to her head.
It was then that her parents awoke to a loud BANG. She left no note, gave no signs, told no one. Only the blood stain now on the floor told whoever noticed and asked that Violetta Emily Van Dort was dead.
A/N: The rest of the story will be the events leading up to this. My first CB fanfic, so bear with me. I know it was short, the rest will be longer.
