Turnabout Matrimony
The lights were dim as a strange figure dressed in black panted heavily, tossing an elderly woman into a bowl of grape wine and watching with a sneer as she fell down into the glass bowl with her disheveled and wrinkled face full of horror and her face was dripping with the wine she had just been shoved into.
She was panting heavily, her eyes droopy as she looked up tiredly at her attacker.
"You...You have to let me go, the w-wedding starts in thirty minutes!" The elderly woman cried, struggling to get back up to her knees.
It was becoming increasingly clearer that the two were fighting in what looked like a very posh dining hall that had multiple decorated cakes and stuff neatly placed all around the room. There was even a very nice couple of floral arrangements on each table. It was actually looking like the prepared version of a wedding reception dinner!
The woman being attacked was a thin woman with long wavy locks of silvery gold hair that seemed very nearly sandy. She had thin cheek bones, her precious eyes were a sweet fudge brown and she had dimples arching the corners of her thin painted lips. She wore a golden gown with a red Rose broach clipped on the white knitted cardigan she wore on top of it.
The figure softly tugged at their white silky glove, and made it snap on their hand. A cruel smirk plastered on their shadowed face as they slowly picked up a shard of what looked like ice and slowly approached the old woman who was so clearly exhausted by now. She even had multiple cuts and bruises on her arms.
Dreading the answer of the question she was about to ask, the woman cowered a bit "What a-are you doing?"
She started coughing out of pure fear and her coughs sounded violent and chesty as she put a hand over her aged lips to try and stifle them. She was by now growing pale with horror as her eyes looked up at the approaching figure.
It was then that the figure finally spoke.
"You, my dear madam Woods, are as frail as a delicate petal on a rose..." They trailed off to allow their ice coated words to sink in as their demonic shadow loomed over the old woman's injured form "...you are just the one I need to get rid of the pathetic weakling of a bride!"
The woman looked horrified upon hearing about the bride, her already paling skin now turning into a chalk white. It was obvious that she cared deeply about the bride and didn't want her to get hurt.
Choking out a gasp, the old woman croaked "N-no..."
Finally the figure raised the shard of ice and their grim smile widened even further. They held the ice shard up so high that the light coming from the chandelier had glittered against the razor sharp edge of the shard, allowing the piece to glisten within that one fateful moment.
The figure's tone went from cold to just plain freezing within the blink of an eye "This is nothing personal against you, Granny Woods...oh, wait, yes it is!"
And with that, the shard was sent swooping down and it didn't even take like 3 seconds until the deed was done and the shard was impaled into the elderly woman's chest. Blood seeped through her golden coloured dress and started to trail down to the floor.
The woman's face was frozen with horror and her eyes were glazed over with no life in them whatsoever.
Standing over the body of the recently killed, the figure slowly sauntered towards the double doors with a sadistically cheery look inside their eyes.
"Now," They said "all I need to do is pin the blame on the bride."
A/N: I know that this is a very short prologue and I'm sorry about that but the rest of this will be much longer.
I have been thinking about how to play this out for a long time and now I think I finally have a great traditional Ace attorney manner to make this wedding fanfic go right hopefully. I'm already working on the next chapter for this as well as "Rise of the fallen".
Now Stay tuned for the beginning of "Turnabout matrimony"!
