Yep, my story sucks, but I still keep writing it. I noticed that they really don't say the Maggot's name in the movie? What is it?


Victor awoke to hear music. At first he was very confused. So he ran downstairs to see Emily playing the piano. Once he seen this he remembered when they were playing together, and how her bony hand had run up his arm. He let out a soft chuckle which caught Emily's attention.

"Victor your up!" she stated excitedly. Victor noticed that she was dressed and ready for the day while he was just in his pajamas.


On the carriage ride to the Van Dort's Victor was even quieter than usually. He really wasn't looking forward to Emily meeting his parents at all!

"Victor, is something wrong? You haven't really said anything at all." Emily sounded very concerned.

"Oh, um nothing is wrong, n-nothing at all" Victor said a little too quickly.

"If you say so" Emily muttered to herself.


Victor knocked softly on the door to his parent's house.

"Oh Victor, how are they supposed to hear that?" Emily asked while knocking very loudly.

The door opened to reveal one of the servants. "Mrs. Van Dort, your son is here" the maid said cheerfully. Then the maid noticed Emily. "And, it appears he has brought a woman with him."

"Victor doesn't know any woman" Came Victor's mother's voice. Victor could feel himself blush, and Emily's eyes on him.

Victor's mother came to the door. She looked like she had to squeeze herself into her dress.

"Victor!" she yelled and gave him a hug.

"Oh, you have met a woman" Mrs. Van Dort said in shock.

Emily smiled to Mrs. Van Dort.

"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Van Dort, I'm Emily" Emily said politely.

Mrs. Van Dort seemed too shocked to talk. She couldn't believe her Victor, had met a woman.

"Mother, aren't you going to invite us in?"

"Oh, sorry, right this way" Mrs. Van Dort led them to the parlor where MR. Van Dort sat.

Mrs. Van Dort took a seat next to her husband while Victor and Emily sat on one of the couches. There were a couple minutes of silence, in wish Emily was looking around, and wondering how Victor ended up looking nothing like his parents.

"So, how did the two of you meet?" Mr. Van Dort asked.

Complete silence. Was Victor supposed to say that he once accidentally 'married' Emily?

"Well Victor and I met at school; I guess he didn't mention me. I am visiting town a while and he was kind enough to let me have a guest room" Emily lied. The Victor's parents seemed to believe it.

Victor couldn't help but notice his father looking at Emily, and wanted to laugh, and to yell at his father.

"So, how have you been?" Victor asked his parents, which made his dad remove his eyes from Emily.

"Well nothing is new here" his father said. Victor was hoping something would happen in this town. The only exciting thing that happened to the mundane town was when the dead came up to the church.


Dinner was an awkward situation. Victor kept trying to stop his mom from telling embarrassing stories, which Emily found amusing. Mr. Van Dort was flirting with Emily, and for once in the Von Dort house they were having something other than fish for dinner.

Victor finally got fed up with his father's crazy antic. "Father, could you please stop flirting with Emily?" he practically yelled. Everyone was shocked. Victor did something un-Victor-like!

"So, what is this we are eating?" Emily said trying to cease the tension.


"Well it was lovely meeting you two." Emily and Victor were leaving the Van Dort that evening.

"You are always welcome here, don't forget that" Mr. Van Dort said.

Victor opened the carriage door for Emily.

"Bye mother, bye father." After saying that, Victor closed the door to the carriage and they were off.

"Well you family is nice" Emily said genuinely. Victor let out a soft chuckle.

"There is a tie for my favorite part of the evening. It's either hearing everything you are afraid of, like ants" Emily let out a laugh. "Or when you told your father to stop flirting with me."

Victor's face had turned bright pink.

"Well I am glad you enjoyed meeting my parents."


That night Emily told her maggot friend all about her day.

"Well if you still don't think he loves you, you are crazy" He said. "He even took you to meet his parents. Why don't you just tell him how you feel?"

"I'm just afraid he will say he doesn't love me." Emily said sadly.

"Well you only have 28 more days with him, I suggest you tell him how you feel."


The next one I think I will go forward a week. I mean I'm not that creative. I need all teh suggestionsI can get about this story!I know how I want the last two chapters to be, it's just getting there I have the problem with.
