Chapter 1-
Bride's Sixteenth, Death's Wedding
"Yes! Freaking schools out for the f'in summer!" My friend, Tessabell, cried throwing her arms in the air in triumph. I chuckled at her as Ginger, my Zorua, gave her a hard glare, snorting. I reached down and petted the top of the Zorua's head comfortingly.
Tessabell fixed her studded choker and grinned at me with her Goth girl grin. I rolled my eyes at her and chided, "Mom would kill you if she finds out that your going into her house like that." I eyed her punk rock Dusknoir T-shirt and her black and plaid skirt that reached up to her thighs, occasionally showing her Hello Persian undies. Her longish Honchcrow black hair was spiked up abit towards the bangs and a candy skull was tied into her hair. She was the most gothic person I had ever met, alas the scariest yet.
She grinned putting her hands over the back of her head and purred, throwing her head towards the heavens, "Ah! But it's so fucking wonderful my dear weremon! I can finally finish that bitchin painting I was making." I thought of the undead flareon painting she was making for a fan-girl contest. A contest that was held by her favorite band Silent Ghost and the prize was a date with the lead singer. She would talk non-stop about this! Tessabell suddenly let out a squeak as Ginger nipped her bare knee. "Fucking little bitch of Zorua!" She snarled trying to stomp down on the fox pokemon who daintily jumped out of the way.
I nearly face-palmed at her excessive swearing and muttered, "Yeah, have fun... But first-" I squeaked and fell back into the ground as a dark chuckle sounded from behind me. I rubbed my back sitting up with a loud "Shit" and looked up towards the asshole who did it.
Standing above me was a man wearing a large black robe with a hood that hide his face. I blushed as he chuckled at me in an dark, alluring way. I glared hotly at him and snarled darkly, "Hey! W-Watch where you're going!" I managed to stammer a bit making me seem less threatening than I wanted to be. The cloaked figure continued to chuckled and walked past me, completely ignoring the fact that Tessabell was giving him the business.
"Graaa!" Ginger growled running around me barking like an insane manic. I huffed and grabbed the fox pokemon's tail causing her to let out a little yelp of surprise and stumble back into my arms. I petted the overexcited Ginger and placed her on my shoulder where she curled up around my neck growling still.
"That guy was a fucking asshole, I outta shove my boot right up his ass..." Tessabell snarled as she helped me to my feet. I brushed the dirt off of my nice Zoroark print shirt and huffed again. "Calm down, I'm sure he's gonna get hurt by some lady's guy someday." Tessabell let out a furious snort and scratched her left breast. "Someday..." She purred, her sudden anger melted away with the thought.
I smiled at her and continued on my down Grove Cliff Parkway toward my over sized home. Tessabell followed after me chattering about how the new "Blood sucking Mew" manga was coming out in a few days. I listened with a half an mind, my thoughts were pretty much elsewhere.
I was turning sixteen today and mom said she had a special surprise for me in store. I couldn't help but flinch at the weird "I am going to use force" smile on her face as she sent me out the door. I told Tessabell about it and she just shrugged telling me it was probably some kind of dildo that she is going to take my virginity with. I just punched her in the boob and she fell to the floor laughing until tears.
I felt Ginger nuzzle my cheek, letting out little worried yips. I scratched her puff and looked at Tessabell who gave me a "You idiot" look of her's. I rolled my eyes and stopped at the gate to my house. "I'll see ya then Tessie." I chirped before going through the gate to my lovely wooded mansion.
I headed up the stone path past the guard Houndooms who barked at Ginger, who growled and jumped down to visit them. I rolled my eyes at her and then headed inside. I was greeted by my Mom who huggled me with a loud shriek. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BABY GIRL!" She screamed causing a furious blush to spread over my cheeks.
"Moooooommmmmmm!" I whined giving her a anti-mom attack push and took a step back whimpering. "I'm Sixteen! Quit calling me baby girl!"My mom gave a loud snort and jumped in to entrap me in a bear hug. "OHHHH! YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY BABY GIRL!" She cried as tears came to her eyes. She broke into a sheer wail drowning me in her tears. I whimpered as her hug tightened around me into a death hug.
"Ruby! Your choking her!" I heard a deep voice rumble behind her. My mom immediately let go of me with reluctance and stepped aside to reveal my worst nightmare.
IT WAS THE FUCKING HOODED MAN!
I let out a loud shriek and pointed a shaky finger towards him. "Oh my god! IT'S YOU AGAIN!" The hooded man gave a dark chuckle and walked close to my mother. "Ahhhh... My, My you have grown! Such ample breasts you have!" He purred reaching out to grab one. I shrieked again and slapped his three finger hand...
WHAT THE HELL! THREE FRIGGEN FINGERS AND BLACK!
I took steps back as fear suddenly strikes my very soul. No real man had three fingers! "W-Who... What?" Was all I managed to spit out as he quickly retracted his hand back into his sleeve. "Hmmmm..." He said in a pondering way before he got onto his knees. I watched as a pair of glowing blue eyes appeared inside the hood. They flashed brightly and I was suddenly shoved forward by an unknown force to directly in front of him. He pulled something out of his sleeve and he held it out to me.
I looked into his hand and almost choked on nothing.
A black crystal ring sat in the center of his blackened hand. It sparkled with a blackened light that captured my attention. I heard the darkened center cry out to me asking me something. But the robbed demon spoke it much, much louder.
"Marry me..."
I blinked confused at this statement and shook my head. "Huh? M-ar-ry?" I was still captured in the crystal's dark center, my mind was still a muddle of confused thoughts. I heard the dark man give an indignant snort and asked again. "Marry me." I suddenly was snapped back into reality as my mother brusted out crying, "HE WANTS TO MARRY YOU! OH MY POOR BABY! OHHHHHH! MY POOR BABY!" She buried her face into her hands and sobbed quite loudly making the dark man hiss at her.
I took steps back shaking like a leaf and stammered, "N-No! I-I don't even know you!" I watched as the man stood up with a dark chuckle and flicked back his hood revealing his true identity.
He had a small head with a white fog-like ghostly substance billowing from its head covering one of its bright blue eyes, and it also has a red spiky growth around its neck. I blinked at this horrifying creature with a mixture of fright and confusion as he looked at me with a loving expression. "Ahhhh... How long I have waited for you..." He murmured as his single visible eye narrowed into a loving expression.
I suddenly felt the world lurch under my feet and I fell forward as he caught me in his arms. I whimpered when he ran his claw like fingers through my hair. "Hush... I am not here to hurt you my dear Happiness." He purred stroking my long white hair in a absent minded way. "Oh... Here." He took my left hand and then held up the ring. "With this ring, I, Death, shall wed thee, Felicity Lightstone, to be my wife." He slipped the ring onto my finger and...
I fainted...
...
I awoke in a large cream colored bed with white fluffy pillows. The scent of roses greeted me in a wonderful way. But with my mind still a muddle of confused thoughts, I barely even registered where I was. A dark shadow floated over me and then was a gentle laugh as something was slipped onto my head. "Perfect, Death's Bride... So beautiful..." I heard as I was picked up off of the bed gently. I rested my head against the unknown person's shoulder murmuring nonsense.
I heard the dark chuckle again and then a "shuush." I looked down at my body and stopped talking as fright took over my whole body.
I was wearing a long flowing dress with a low cut top. A bunch of black black flowers sat in my gloved hands that glistened with dew. I noticed that around my neck was a white choker with a black flower attatched to it. I let out a shriek and kicked out weakly but I was quickly stopped and let down.
I turned on the person and stopped to see a very confused mew-like pokemon staring at me. "What's wrong Felicity?" He asked in a cute way that almost made me squeal. He flicked his long purple tail towards the door and murmured, "Death is waiting..." He pushed open the door and shoved me into a large beautifully decorated room.
Black and white flowers hung around the pillars as beautiful white ribbons were tied around the length of them. The alter was decorated with black flowers on one side and white flowers on the other. A old, dignified looking Zoroark stood at the back holding a blue-red book in his hands. He stood there decked out in a suit and tie.
A dark wedding theme was playing as lots of pokemon of many sizes stood up to look at me. I turned cheri berry as they stared at me with smiles and frowns all around. I was pushed forward by a Victini who grinned sappily towards me. I gulped and stood rooted to the spot as the deathly music continued to play.
I heard a loud stamp and someone whispering beside me. "Go ahead..." I was pulled forward by an unusual force that made my legs move against my own will. I stepped slowly, foot in front of foot towards the demon creature in front of me. Tears appeared in the corner of my eyes as realization came over me. "No..." I whispered as I came to stand in front of him.
He gently took my hands in his and his eyes narrowed into a loving focus. "You look so beautiful..." He whispered as the priest cleared his throat to begin the wedding ceremony. He droned on about Arceus and how he will bless us with everlasting love, the stuff that I didn't want to hear. I felt more tears run down my cheeks as he got closer and closer to the vows.
I was being forced against my will to marry someone who I didn't meet until today! Why? Was Arceus punishing me for being born?
"Why..." I whispered closing my eyes so I didn't have to see the demon's eyes. I then heard the priest say, "Do you Death, take this woman to be you lawfully wedded wife?" I heard a paused silence and then a definite, "I do..." I then heard the priest clear his throat again and then he asked me in a gentle voice, "Do you, Felicity Lightstone, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband."
I felt a sickening drop in my stomach as I felt everyone's stares bore into my back. I couldn't bring myself to say the words, it was waaayyyy to painful. I felt my hands being squeezed and I peeked out through my eye lids to see him staring down at me darkly. "Say it..." He mouthed giving me a deadly look. I gulped and whispered in a very, very scared voice, "I do..."
The priest closed his book with a loud clap and cried to the heavens. "I NOW PRONOUCE YOU HUSBAND AND WIFE! YOU MAY KISS THE BRIDE." I watched as Death leaned down and lifted my chin to meet his lips. "Forever yours..." He whispered before laying a kiss on my lips.
I felt my eyes roll back into my head as everything went dark again.
