Into the Forest
this a attempt of my writing for the Corpse Bride AU
I hope you like it, bc I ain't good at writing
There I was outside of town, on the old bridge now completing my actions on the rehearsal as I ask myself “Can this day get any worse”, then the ringing of the bells from old man Duncan bringing the news to all of town “L/N’s child ruins the rehearsal wedding in front the Everburn’s” great, the last thing i want to hear, better leave to the forest before more embarrassing news comes from his mouth.
Walking down in the forest makes a great time to figure out how to say my vows to my fiance and his parents and mine
“You want vows, I’ll give you vows” and stop at the old oak tree in the dead of night as I rehearse the vows in front of it. “With this hand, I’ll lift up your sorrows” as I pose myself into a posh yet fanciful pose mimicking those in high society lifting my hand up, “Your cup will never be empty, for I’ll be your wine” then flipping the ring like a coin and catching it right in time.
“Ah, Madam Everburns, ever so dashing” as I shake the old oak branch pretending to be her, “What's that, call you ‘Dad’ why thank you Sir” as I pat the stump still playing pretend to be him, “With this candle, I’ll light your way into darkness” as I took a branch from the ground and lift it to the pretend alter to light the candle.
“With this ring” that I still have in my hand as I bend down to the ground to the hand-like branch and place the ring into one of its smaller branches “I ask you to be mine” now feeling proud of myself reciting the wedding vows, before long the silence cut short by the crows and the wind, has the wind always so strong as I turn to see the many crows on top of the sleeping trees, which is creepy
Before long, I feel something grab my wrist and pull me to the ground as I let out a scream and try to get out of this death grip now the crows goes berserk, continuing to get back up from the dirt and finally get out of the ground before falling to my butt as I see a skeleton arm!? On my wrist as I tried to shake it off of me and it did, and now hearing the ground where the branch with the ring was starting to break.
As ground break, a hand clawed it way up, then the entire body as I see a man clad with wedding attire ruined by dirt and time “I do” the corpse speak and then it reach out for me but I fled away from this dead man cold dead hands, every twist and turns from the graveyard to the frozen river
Finally the bridge to town I’m saved, then the branches caught on my skirt. No need to worry about a few tears on me as I pulled it out and made it to the middle of the bridge.
Looking back at the woods with no sign of the dead man, what a relief, I started to head back home and there he was, the corpse right in front of me. Crows surround me with him, with the walls of the bridge at my back as he comes closer, extend his hand and cupping my face, cold as ice before he leans to my face “You may now kiss the groom” and he did.
