Corpse Brides (Corpse Bride X Fem Reader)

7.Land of the Living

{3rd Pov}

Elder Gutnecht takes a strange speckled egg from a bowl on his desk. He begins mumbling a spell, then suddenly looks up." Ready?" Victor's surprised at his quickness." No! I don't understand how..."Elder Gutnecht stays unfazed at his reaction. Just remember, when you want to come back, just say 'hopscotch.' Victor and (Y/N) looked at each other confused at the safe word given." Hopscotch?" The Elder gave a Kurt nod at them." That's it." Elder Gutknecht suddenly cracks the egg above their heads. Instead of a yolk, a strange, sparkling powder
falls out. The moment it touches (Y/N), Victor, and Corpse Bride. They
instantly collapse. Now appearing in the land of the living, becoming apart of a familiar scene. Victor and (Y/N) blinks, bewildered. As the sparkling dust clears, they find themselves standing in the middle of the abandoned graveyard from before, Corpse Bride at their side.

'We arrived.' The first thing I noticed was how the Corpse Bride that stood before me, she could be compared to nothing I've seen before in another being. So beautiful, graceful, and loving. Her eyes could be seen with wonder and such sorrow. 'This feeling.. Unforgettable it is. Yet unmistakable.' I reached out for her, but the sound of her voice snapped me out of the trance she put me in.

She leans over to a tree, trying to gather a branch in her hand. "I had forgotten how beautiful the
Moonlight is... "Her fingers pass right through it. Confused, Victor reaches out. His fingers pass through it too." Is this a dream?" The Bride looks at (Y/N) then looks at him."No, it's real. Everything's real except us. We all are just phantoms." The clearing, disappearing behind the black columns and reappearing again.

Victor and (Y/N) is transfixed by the vision of her dancing, her dress flowing around her like smoke in the cold light of the moon. She came back to them, then looked at (Y/N)" Which house is yours?" Victor and (Y/N) looked at each other. They  simultaneously pointed to the other rather large Victorian house near a lake." We'll lead the way. " The Corpse Bride smiles at them. (Y/N) offers her hand to the Bride, and she gladly takes it. They went down a secret path they always took as children till now. (Y/N) had Victor walk almost in front of them, just to keep a close eye on them. Slowly but surely they reached the home of (Y/N). A tall house completely basking in the moonlight. (A/N: This house is bigger/expanded out more.)

Stepping towards the home, they noticed someone on the porch. It was
(Y/N)'s Personal Maid Dalin. The Maid rushed towards (Y/N) and Victor with teary eyes to hug her, but ran through them both instead. She stopped and turned to the trio. She walked back circling the group in curiosity." So you're dead now (Y/N)??" (Y/N) giggled at her dear friend." No I'm married, not dead." The Maid looked shocked and relived. "If you were touchable right now..  I'd slap you! Worrying me so much (Y/N)! I thought you got seriously hurt! The only thing I want to know is what you plan to do with our home and.. Me. What about me!? You didn't even invite me to the wedding (Y/N)! " She put a stressed hand on her tearful face and the other  on her hip. (Y/N) walked up to her friend and presses a ghastly kiss on her forehead. " What do you want to do?" The Maid looked at her with such unexplainable surprise written on her face. " I-- Want to stay here." (Y/N) smiled at her. " Then everything is yours Dalin. Just one thing though. " The Maid was shaking, no one but her mistresses had shown her such kindness." Meet my wife." The Maid looked around, until she realises she's talking about the Bride before her. Her heart drops to see the already dead woman. The Maid walks over the Corpse Bride, and curtsied in front of her. "It is an honor to meet you.

The one and only to catch the eye of (Y/N)." The Bride gave Dalin a grand smile." Ditto." Soon after another short conversation, they came to the conclusion of (Y/N) being in the land of the dead. Only with the exception of her visiting the Maid so she won't feel so alone. Next was Victor house to visit. He was already ahead of them. (Y/N) and the Corpse Bride was right behind him. Victor looks around. To the left, he sees his own house, with one gable. To the right, he sees the Everglots' two-gabled mansion. After a beat of hesitation, he points to the Everglots. Victor looks back at them both with a nervous smile."It's right up there." Quickly improvising before (Y/N) says anything to ruin his plan." Why don't I sort of go first, and ... prepare them. You wait both here. (Y/N) interrupted once again, but this time with the Bride's excitement. "Perfect!" (Y/N) almost ran after him until the Corpse Bride held her hand and kissed the back of it, too trusting of Victor.Victor runs toward the house atop the hill.

While with the Bride and (Y/N) dance on gravestones. (Y/N) looks into the Brides eyes." You shouldn't have brought Victor back up here... " After a few beats, Black Widow and Maggot crawl out. The Black Widow turned to the Bride." You are a very trusting bride." Maggot looked at the Widow." She is warmhearted." The Widow tilted her head slightly, being serious. " But we're all cold-blooded now." The Bride turned her full attention to them." Not Victor and (Y/N)." The Black Widow glanced at (Y/N) and the Bride.''No. Not Victor. He's back in the
Land of the Living. And I'm sure
he has a lot to catch up on." Maggot turned his head in confusion." What are you implying?" The Widow looked  the Bride's eyes with such seriousness. " Out of sight, out of mind. Out of mind ... out of the picture." That hit the Corpse Bride slowly and seeped in even slower. She had just been played. By Victor.
