Corpse Bride 2: Till Death Do Us Part

Chapter One: The Bedtime story and the Graveyard.

15 years ago

Victor: "As she looked up to moon she took one deep breathe before ascending into the moon light as thousands of beautiful butterflies."
Victor finished as he closed the book that he had made. He sat up from the bed that he was sitting on and went to tuck in the child that was in the bed, after he tucked in the young boy he went to close the door behind him before he heard a feint voice

Nathaniel: "Grandpa? Is that story a true one?"

Victor looked at Nathaniel and smiled.

Victor: "Very true."

He said while still holding his smile.

Nathaniel: "But how, what happened, is she still aliv-...roaming..?"

The young asked while tilting his head.
Victor lowered his head. The room became quiet the only sound that could be heard was the sound of a branch hitting the window by the bed.

Victor perked his head back up and shifted his sight back towards his Grandson. He looked at the boy for a few seconds before giving the boy a smile.

Victor: "I'm sure she's doing just fine...now get some sleep you have school tomorrow and I don't feel like being reprimanded by your mother again, for letting you skip school.

Victor said while letting out a small chuckle.
He blew out the candle that was on the nightstand by the door, before turning his gaze once more to his Grandson.

Victor: "goodnight,Nathaniel."

Nathaniel: "Goodnight, Grandpa."
The boy said as his grandfather closed the door behind him.
Nathaniel: "There's noway she's real."
The child whispered, before snuggling into his pillow letting sleep finally takeover.

Nathaniel pov:

I was walking back from my job, I had recently gotten a job as a woodworks apprentice, it's a small shop on a corner of a semi busy street. I walked by a few stores that caught my eye one of them being the shop my Mother and Father worked at...before they died of the flu that is. Thankfully my Grandfather and Grandmother were able to take me in, I am forever grateful for that. I finally arrived back at the Everglot mansion that my grandparents had accompanied ever since my great grandparents passing. I walked up the old Paved stone steps and turned the knock but it seemed to be locked, I knocked on the door a few times until I heard some light footsteps coming from the other side of the door, I took a small step back after I heard the lock being...unlocked. After the door was unlocked it slowly opened revealing Victoria.

Victoria: "Oh sweety I'm so sorry"
She spoke, while stepping aside to let me in. She seemed out of breathe?
Nathaniel: "Is everything okay Grandma."
She looked at me and smiled brightly.
Victoria: "oh yes I'm fine, your grandfather was just trying to teach me how to play Piano, after all these years I still don't know how you two do it." She finished with a sigh as I saw a feint smile on her face.
Once I was fully inside I closed the door behind me and walked up stairs with Victoria.
Victoria: "so how was work today she asked." As she put her hand around the door knob that lead to my Grandparents bedroom.

Nathaniel: "Tiring as usual, but Mr.Garnel says I should only have about two more weeks before I become a full time employee." I announced as I smiled towards my grandmother.

Victoria: "well that's very good to here dear. I presume your going to the woods again, as you usually do?" She asked with a smirk

As of recently I've been wandering into the woods and just taking in nature, I usually bring a book and just read until laye in the afternoon, it's quite peaceful, no one ever goes into the woods because they say it's "haunted" so I'm just left alone with my thoughts.
