When Crows Surround
A/N: Hello! Many of you might or might not know me! But I am now a huge Corpse Bride fan, after watching the movie the day before! I especially felt sorry for the Corpse Bride, Emily, and I like her character and everyone alot. And Victor, he was very cute in his own way as well, and very very funny. So this is my Alternate Universe ending of what might have happened if Emily was too late and Victoria also was too late to save Victor from drinking the cup with the poison. So here you go. Hope you enjoy and if you want more chapters, please review:)
Disclaimer: I do not own the movie Corpse Bride or any of the characters that come out!
The Poisonous Beginning
Victor glanced at his to-be wife, Emily and then at the cup. He was nervous, he couldn't deny that. Like before when he was rehearsing the lines at his rehearsal with his 'ex' wife, Victoria, who seemed to have married a Lord somebody. Whoever it is, Victor felt bitter. Still, he didn't hate Victoria. He had met her after all and he knew Victoria was good at heart. He hoped she would have a good life, as he would have with Emily. He was rather terrified of dying though. But he would do it for Emily. They would 'live' happily ever after with Scraps, his bony dog.
"With this hand I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never be empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way into darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine."
Victor gave out a sigh of relief as a silent sort of 'awww' was heard through the dead crowd or corpses and bone. Emily looked up at her to-be husband and sighed as well. This was just all romantic. All her dead life, she wished for something like this to come true. That her true love would one day recite these vows to her and say it with such affection and love. She hoped she would have a good dead life with Victor.
"For I will be your wine..." Emily spoke with a smile towards Victor, who also smiled back.
Victor lifted the golden cup of poison to his lips. He was about to drink it down when he heard the sound of the Chapel door open widely. His eyes went elsewhere to the direction of the door and his mouth opened in suprise, eyes widening in shock.
There stood Victoria in her shining, white Wedding dress. But although the dress looked lively then ever, her expression was full of sorrow, terror, fright and most of all, an expression that seemed to show how desperate she was to make it.
There was a gasp around the church as the bones and corpses looked up at Victoria. Victoria looked in tears as she saw Victor in front of Emily. Am I too late? Am I going to have to live with that monstrous man I shall have to call my husband? thought desperately.
"Victoria, what-?" Victor started to say but Emily cut in. Her eyes were round with growing anger as her expression seemed to growl. Why was she here?
"Why are you here, aren't you supposed to be with your Lord?"Emily was about to say but stopped and only glared harshly at Victoria. Somehow, somehow deep down, she felt sympathy for this girl. She looked in a worse state and she looked like she would do anything to get some loving. And what Emily noticed most was how heart broken she looked.
But something happened that no one thought would happen. Something very unexpected at that very moment.
Many might say it was cruel that this was supposed to happen. Others might say it may have been a good thing. But the crowd could only gasp at what happened next,
Victoria? was what Victor last though before he realized his fingers slipped on the golden cup he was about to drink from and the poison washed down into him...
