Never Was Free Chapter 3-
Missing Her and Story Time
Victor watched as Emily's butterflies flew away with Victoria in his arms... He knew he should happy now that he had his beloved Victoria... and nowhe was free... but... he didn't feel happy, not one bit of happiness in his mind or heart, he actually felt quitemiserable. Victor felt so lonely even though he had Victoria in his arms, he felt so alone without his corpse bride, he didn't know why but he actually missed having Emily as his wife. Sure she was dead but he was willing to drink that poison to be with her but she stopped him from drinking it. "I love you, Victor but you are not mine." Those were the words Emily told him right after she stopped him from killing himself. He remembered the look on her face when she that, she looked so utterly miserable, so sad, so alone, so rejected and so terribly heart broken.
"Victor?" Victoria asked snapping Victor out of his thoughts. Victor looked down to Victoria but he felt no joy when he looked into Victoria's happy eyes. No, all he saw was Emily's sad dejected face.
"Hmm?" Victor mumbled and Victoria rested her head on his chest.
"Let's go home." Victoria said and Victor frowned at the memories that appeared in his mind. "This is your home now." Emily's voice echoed in his head, she said that when he asked if he could go home while in the land of the dead. He wished he could go back to the land of the dead and be with Emily but it was too late now. Now he had to be with Victoria and there was no turning back now.
"Alright." Victor said then walked towards town with Victoria's hand in his.
Emily sat on her bed in her new large room; the room was indeed very large and creepy. The walls were painted gray, miniature statues of gargoyles and werewolves were in the room, paintings of bats and ravens were hung on the walls; there was an old Victorian couch in one of the corners of the room, a small desk with blank papers on the corner of it; a writing feather in the ink bottle and a book on the desk. There was only one window in the entire room, it was regular sized window but it was good enough for Emily. There was also a door to the closet, which Emily hadn't looked in yet and she was eager to see what was inside.
Emily had been thinking very hard ever since she entered that room, she couldn't decide if she wanted to join the Creed or not. She didn't know what to do; it was very tempting to say yes and join. "But to live immortally and go through pain for all time." Emily thought remembering all the pain and heartbreak she had gone through twice but then she thought it would be pretty interesting to join the Creed. "But it sounds completely dangerous." Emily thought… then Victor's handsome face came to her mind, and Emily frowned deeply. "Well it's not like I could go back to him." Emily thought sadly. "And besides Dorian said if I were to say no then I could leave here as a free woman and it's not like people will see a woman with wings and welcome her with open arms." Emily thought and sighed deeply.
Emily got off of her queen sized bed and walked over to the mirror and looked herself up and down, she was still wearing her torn up gown and it made her feel terribly dirty, so she walked over to the closet to see if there were any clothes in there. Emily picked up a lit candle and walked over to the closet and she gently opened the door and walked into the big closet. It was huge, there were probably about forty different outfits in there and about thirty pairs of shoes and five trench coats and a couple of corsets but Emily didn't really wear corsets so she didn't put too much thought to them. She squealed in delight when she saw all of the clothes.
Emily picked out a roman black dress that had gold stitching and a very low v-neck that you could very easily see much of her cleavage but Emily didn't care. "It's not like anyone could see me.' Emily thought as she quickly dressed into the beautiful roman gown. Emily slipped on a pair of black slippers then ran out of the closet and looked in the mirror. Emily smiled brightly; she was very pleased with her reflection. She spun around laughing a little.
After a while Emily got bored so she decided to explore the castle. She walked out of the room and quietly shut the door then walked down the dim lit halls trying to find something interesting. After a while she finally find something interesting; it was two large wooden oak doors that had amazing carvings on them. In the middle of each door was the carving of a male lions head roaring in anger. Emily was now filled with curiosity; she needed to know what was in that room. Emily quietly opened the two doors and walked into the gigantic room. The room was filled with shelves of books. There were probably thousands of books in this very room. "It's a library!" Emily thought joyfully. She loved books so this was like heaven to her.
Emily walked further into the room and squealed when she saw a beautiful black Victorian piano. Emily ran over to it and sat on the bench then started playing a beautiful tune her mother taught her when she was a child. It was so long ago; she barely remembered what her mother looked like but she remembered this song perfectly. Her mother said it was called 'Raindrop Prelude.
Emily nearly screamed when she felt someone sit next to her and start to play the song with her. Emily turned to see Dorian sitting next to her. Emily narrowed her eyes a bit and soon enough the playing turned into a competition to who could play better. Memories of the night at the bar playing the piano with Victor came to Emily's mind and she abruptly stopped playing the piano.
"Why have you stopped playing?" Dorian asked still playing the piano and Emily turned her head away from him.
"Too many memories of Victor." Emily said as tears burned her eyes.
"Ah! Was Victor your lover?" Dorian asked and Emily sighed. "I wish." Emily thought sadly.
"He was my husband." Emily said as more tears burned in her eyes.
"Oh, did he die?" Dorian asked and Emily almost laughed at how ironic that sounded.
"No, he loved another woman so I let him go to her for he was not happy with me. All I want is for him to be happy and he couldn't have that with me." Emily said sadly. Dorian then changed the song to a more depressing one, which didn't help Emily's mood.
"Well if was your husband then he was yours." Dorian said but Emily shook her head.
"Not if his heart belongs to someone else." Emily said now allowing her tears to fall.
"Oh. I understand." Dorian said in a slightly sad tone and Emily stared at him with big red puffy eyes.
"You do?" Emily questioned and Dorian stopped playing.
"Long ago I was to marry but I was in love with another woman. When my wife-to-be found out, she let me go willingly but sadly. I was so happy at first but then I realized I was never in love with the other woman. I was in love with my wife to be the whole time; I was just too blind to see it at first. I ran off to go find my love but when I found her she was laying in her bed with a dagger plunged into her heart. Blood was everywhere; I wanted so much to vomit. I found a letter in her handwriting saying why she took her own life and it was my fault, I broke her heart. I wish so much I could go back in time and take her as my wife but life doesn't work out that way but my love her still runs as deep as it did then." Dorian told Emily with a sad look in his eyes. Emily stared at him shocked. That story reminded her so much of what happened to her except that she didn't kill her self.
Dorian looked into Emily's shocked eyes and smiled sadly. He patted her on the shoulder.
"That Victor and I aren't really so different when it comes to the women we love. Maybe he'll come to his senses and try to find you." Dorian said and once again turned her head away from him.
"That won't happen. He's too in love with 'Victoria'!" Emily said mocking Victoria's name then out of nowhere Dorian started laughing. Emily was confused. "Was it something I said?" Emily wondered. "What are you laughing at?" Emily asked clearly confused.
"His name is…. Victor and…. Her name is… Victoria!" Dorian said between laughs. Emily giggled a bit.
"Yes and they live in a Victorian town." Emily said and hearing that just made Dorian laugh harder. Emily then couldn't help but laugh also.
Moments later they both stopped laughing. Dorian put a hand to his heart.
"Well I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time." Dorian said then he put back on his emotionless face. It was silent between the two until Emily stood up.
"Well I better get to bed. I have a lot of thinking to do tomorrow." Emily said. Dorian nodded.
"Goodnight, Emily." Dorian said.
"Goodnight, Dorian." Emily said then walked out of the room and down the hall to her room.
Tomorrow was going to be a long day….
Well there you have it. Please review!
