'Till death do us part (or not)
(A/N: Yeah…this is what happened in my brain after I saw the movie of Tim Burton's: Corpse Bride. Now this ain't my style, my style's more guns, fights, chainsaws, games and stuff. But I gotta write this to get it out of my mind …So I would appreciate no insults or negative crap from anyone reading this story. Thank you very much, now let's get this over with)
The skies were completely cloudy, life wasn't going so good for Ky Stax…he only lived with his father but he was in a journey on Egypt. Ky decided to stay behind since he assured his father that he'll be all right alone. Lately Ky had to deal with many evictors that tried to make him leave his home but he managed to hold them back with different excuses that were reasonable. But today Ky was just resting in his bedroom until he found a Sapphire butterfly flying all around his room. Then the little creature landed right in the window which was in front of his room's desk.
-"What the…" Ky said when he saw the little butterfly standing there, he knew that it wasn't something common so he grabbed a notebook and a pencil softly so he won't scare the winged creature. Then he started to draw the butterfly in his notebook and added the Sapphire color, by the time it was done it looked remarkable nice, almost real.
After that Ky opened the window but the butterfly stood in his finger.
-"Time to leave, little girl." Ky said as the butterfly left flying away. Later his computer received a message.
-"A message from dad? Wonder what's up…" Ky thought and then he read his father's message.
Dear son
I'm sorry to tell you this, but my journey may take another year. My colleagues and I have reached an ancient tomb in Egypt which worth's its unimaginable. But lately I've been receiving news about the evictors in the town here and there. I believe you can handle them but I can't imagine what would happen if they got you. But I won't take that risk with you, Ky. The Imperiaz family accepted to took you into their home…
-"I don't know if I should be thankful or nervous…" Ky said to himself and he kept reading the letter while he was drinking a glass of water.
...But they only accepted in exchange for you to marry their daughter princess Diara…
Once he read that, he literally spitted the water out of his mouth.
-"WHAT THE HELL!?" Ky exclaimed, why would his father accept that? Sure, his father could do many things in his life because it was his duty but not something of this rate.
…I'm truly sorry son, but it's the best for you. I'll see you soon.
Your father
Connor Stax.
After reading the message, Ky could feel how the concern, turmoil and a little piece of anger were all over him.
-"I was handling my life alone pretty well…and now I'm supposed to leave to a rich family and marry a princess? What is this? The 19th Century!?" Ky exclaimed but he knew he had no choice and he had to pack his stuff and leave soon. A few hours later he arrived at the Imperiaz castle and there he was introduced to the king and queen Imperiaz.
-"Welcome, you must be Ky Stax." The Queen Imperiaz said.
-"Yes…your highness." Ky said, now he would just yell out but he managed to keep it together.
-"Ha ha! Welcome to your soon to be home, my boy. I hope you're ready to meet my little girl." The King Imperiaz said and then came Tenny and Koz.
-"Oh, Ky. These are my children, Tenny and Koz they're Diara's brother and sister." The Queen said introducing her children.
-"Kids, he's Ky Stax…your sister's future husband." The queen applied and Ky only waved a hi to them but they only glared at him.
-"Great…I'm gonna live in a place where many people hate me." Ky thought but then princess Diara arrived.
-"Oh! My future husband! What a joy!" Diara exclaimed as she hugged Ky but he wasn't so happy at all, he heard about Diara before…she's known from being greedy and she only cared of how someone looked from the outside, in other words she only wanted to be with a guy who was either rich or handsome. When everybody left to prepare the wedding assay, Ky saw a piano and he remembered he was able to play some of it. When he started to play, Diara noticed how Ky was playing the piano, she got closer to listen and Ky noticed her and he let go of the piano nervously.
-"I'm sorry! How rude of me to…" Ky said kind of scared but Diara only smiled.
-"You played beautifully…" Diara said smiling.
-"Hmph, maybe she's not that bad after all…" Ky thought.
-"…I'll have a husband that will play the piano for me anytime I want!" Diara replied and she left to prepare herself for the assay.
-"…Then again, I can get wrong." Ky thought again.
Three hours later, it was the wedding assay but Ky was really nervous at this that he kept messing things up with the wedding vows. He couldn't help it until he could feel the anger from everybody in the room. The pastor, the king and the queen, Koz, Tenny and Diara were all looking at him with anger for his clumsiness.
-"I…I…I can't…" Ky said for all the pressure in the air.
-"What? What do you mean you can't!?" Diara said kind of pissed but Ky only took steps back to the door.
-"I'm sorry…I can't do this…." Ky said and he ran away from the place leaving all the people inside shocked. That night Ky was sitting on the edge of a small bridge.
-"Ugh…when my life did became such a bullcrap? Can't believe this is happening…now my dad's gonna kill me. I need some air." Ky commented and he started to walk into a dark forest, frustration thoughts came to his mind, like how his dad would be angry at him or the Imperiaz family as well.
-"But yet I don't know why I screwed it up. I mean it was just to say a few vows, right?" Ky said.
-"How were they? With this hand, I will lift your sorrows…your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine…with this candle, I will light your way into darkness…and with this ring, I ask you to be mine." Ky said repeating the vows and he placed the ring on what it looked like a small branch in the ground. Then the wind stroke the trees of the forest, Ky saw many crows and bats were standing in the trees…but as his attention was in the flying creatures he felt his hand being dragged into the ground. Unaware of it Ky just pulled his hand out and he discovered that it was still grabbed by a skeleton arm. Soon the ground began to shake and something or someone emerged from the ground. Ky saw what it looked like a dead girl with blue hair and brown skin, she had blue marks on her cheeks and her eyes' color were golden but they looked sort of undead, her left arm was just bones like half part of her right leg, she had a big scratch on the right lower part of her chest revealing her ribs and a small scratch on her right cheek. And she had a ripped white wedding veil.
-"I do." It was the dead girl's answer while she was smiling and Ky, shocked by what he was looking ran away from that corpse, he ran until he reached the bridge where he was earlier. When he thought he lost her he turn around and saw her, she was getting closer until Ky was against the walls of the bridge and the dead girl only placed her hands in the back of his neck.
-"You may kiss the bride." The girl whispered and slowly she got closer to Ky until her cold lips touched his…and then everything turned dark for Ky Stax.
