He loved the Corpse Bride (Corpse Bride FanFic)

He needs a friend

Victor started crying for help. He told Victoria what is going on. She was very concerned for Emily, specially. She quickly run into the room where Emily was staying, but before she got inside, it was too late. Her parents and Emily got outside of the room and she saw her father with a knife. She was out of sight, and she tries to hide so she can see their conversation.
"You, girl. How dare you destroy my daughter's life with Victor?" He asked.
"There is a misunderstanding, Sir. Victor doesn't love Victoria!"
"You stole his heart so you can marry him. You took her happiness away! She loved Victor more than anyone else. But instead she married another man who is not deserving for her. We thought it will go according to plan, yet you, girl, ruined it. You have no right to interfere Everglot's rights. You must be killed, also Victoria's husband, and Victor and Victoria shall become widows so we can still gather things according to plan." Mrs. Everglot shouted.

Victoria quickly interfered with them and tries to stop them from killing Emily.
"Stop it mother, father! She is innocent!" She shouted with all her might.
"Do not interfere with this daughter. This is none of your business."
"It is my business! Killing Emily and my husband so Victor and I will be married won't change anything! Mother, marriage isn't about money or luxury. It's about LOVE! I don't care if whoever my husband is! As long as he loves me, he will always be there for me and cares for me! It's about cooperation and teamwork. Look, our family, Everglot's family, isn't yet fixed right? Both of you always fight over something and all of your opinions were opposites. It's like what like Emily said. You can't marry someone you don't love. You're not at peace with each other. But if you Love each other, wouldn't that feeling be overwhelming? Wouldn't rather smile for each other than fighting? Husbands and wife must be one. Marriage is fusion, not forced! If you're going to kill Emily, kill me instead. I rather die than see Victor howl with pain in his heart. Yes, I loved him, but she deserves more. We were destined to meet and become friends. But Emily, she's the one for him." She directly shouted at her parents.
"Silence! This is for you, Victoria. We will not end this moment! Do whatever you want, but we will kill her."
Mr. Everglot moved his hand to stab Emily in the chest, but Victoria got her out of the way and stabbed her instead. She was looking at her chest, and the knife was inside her heart.
"What have we done?!" Mrs. Everglot asked.
After that, she spoke weakly but still gathering her last strength to speak.
"Now that I will die soon, there will be no reason to... To kill her... The time is too short to plan a wedding now. I deserved this death... After what I have done to Viia. I'm the reason why she died. I should apologize for her on the afterlife.. And we will reunite once again.." She said in her dying breath.
Mrs. Everglot can't take it anymore and got out of the mansion, and Mr. Everglot followed her until there is only Emily and Victoria inside the mansion.
"I'm so sorry Victoria! I should have realized that I shouldn't marry Victor. It wouldn't end like this. It's all my fault!!" Emily said while crying.
"No, Emily... I-it's not your fault. Y-you're lucky you married him. You see, we're running out of money.. Victor's family were the only ones in this town who have lot's of money. They.. They used Victor to marry me so that we can maintain our wealth. How selfish."
"Victoria...."
"Tell Victor.. Thanks for everything. He is my true friend."
"I will, Victoria!"
"And that baby of yours.. Take care of it. Tell beautiful stories about marriage and love."
"How did you know.."
"I already knew. I have to tell you something before I die."
"You may tell it. Every word counts."
"Should you encounter grave danger, remember this words: Deppots eb tsum egairram dexif, lla sreuqnoc evol. Rentrap ruoy evol, llaf yam uoy reven dna."
"What does it mean?"
"You'll know in the most suitable time. Goodbye."

She closed her eyes as id she was about to sleep peacefully. She has stopped breathing and she became stiff. Emily was surprised, she turned into millions of white butterflies because she has found peace. She ran out of the mansion while crying. He turned into Victor who was standing in front of the door of the mansion. Victor saw her crying and panicking.
"What's wrong Emily? What happened? And where's Victoria?"
"It's all my fault. She died because of me!" *sobs*
"Tell me what exactly is going on. I'll listen."
Emily told her what happened to Victoria and her parents. Victor doesn't seem to believe her but he tried to. Emily caught a white butterfly and showed it to Victor.
"What about Peter? Is he alright?"
"I don't know for sure, Victor. But we can't get out this place until we resolved this problem. Peter must know this!"
"But what if he doesn't believes us? What if he gets mad?"
"At least we're telling the truth. We are not those kind of people who tell lies like that."
"You have a point. Hurry, Emily. We have to find Peter."
