Thank you for always giving me great ideas. Hope you all enjoy! ^^

When you hold up a red rose, it presents a blissful moment from the petals soft to rub between your fingers tips but perks of blood drip from touching the thorns from the heartbreaks but those can heal very easily because love blossoms in different ways whether your alive or no longer living. A swarm of blue butterflies comes through the sky after the conclusion of Victor and Victoria who are happily married, they were arranged marriages but deep down they were really meant to be. Emily the corpse bride had her heart set on Victor when they first met in the deep foggy forest from the vows Victor said, he did feel attached to the widow blue bride and wanted her to be happy until her murdered husband ended up interfering with Victor's true love Victoria. Emily feels free that the murder is no longer causing pain to her and her past lover Victor. Through the faraway path Emily in her glowing blue, gloomy yet beautiful bride dress roams to find a place to lay rest until her time assets to become the living of blue butterflies presenting hope.

In The Cemetery a garden of red roses blooms as Duke lays on a tombstone in the rain, clothes ruined, hat pretty bent, and trying to light up a pack of cigarettes since Missi kicked him out from being a pain in the ass for her and rather have the castle to herself until she would let him in. Duke would contact Y/N but she was on holiday so he didn't how to feel alone since his past of being the only child being the best, leaving others, and being taken and possessed by the cane that he no longer controls.

Duke: I feel completely dead inside ...

Emily: I know how you feel

Duke: WHAT THE!?

Out of nowhere, Duke turns his head to see a corpse bride standing her skeleton and blue fingers folded together as she gives him a warm smile hoping that he won't be frightened by her appearance. Duke's legs extended his hands grabbed the tombstone he was resting on as the corpse bride attended to get closer but he backed away.

Emily: I..I.I didn't mean to frighten you... I saw you complicated from your words, and the movements of your hands. Something seems to bother you

Duke: It's just complicated you wouldn't understand...

Turning his head the other way and trying to light up his cigarette the corpse bride sits on the tombstone placing her hand onto Duke's where he looks completely shocked as the two lock eyes for a moment but both turn away a flush of pink rises from bother there faces

Emily: I understand you

Duke: Tell me your name

Emily: It's Emily... I used to be a bride

Duke: Emily? That's quite a lovely name...

Emily: And whom I am speaking to besides the label " vampire"

Duke: You can call me Duke

Emily: You sure you're not from London?

Duke: Here we go again every time someone I met they mostly prefer me as " The Grand Duke" or a Duke that attempts to marry a princess in the Victorian era I swear can't I just go with my name of being Duke!?

Emily: I think it's very swell and more of a compliment if you ask me.

The two look at each other for a bit the awkward silence as Emily look mostly on the ground then turn the large black silhouette castle guessing that's where Duke lives she thought to herself as Duke sees her distance on his castle.
