Everlasting Promise ~ Inspired by 'Corpse Puppet AU' by @sketchquill
There’s an old Celtic Blood Vow that goes beyond the simple promise of modern day vows. Coming from a place of deep love and eternal tie that bounds the two forever until death. Or much longer depending. Mavis always treasured those vows in her heart and yearned to find her true love and soulmate forever. It was silly and most of the time felt pointless, but it was a dream. The Gaelic translations are not quite word for word but this is what she remembered deep in her heart.
Ye are Blood of my Blood, and Bone of my Bone.I give ye my Body, that we Two might be One.I give ye my Spirit, 'til our Life shall be Done.
Wishing she could say these vows with all the love for her groom to be in her heart. Except she couldn’t bring herself to do so. Let alone was not allowed to even utter these vows. Too “barbaric” as her parents said. Her groom somehow thought the same. Not unkind or awful but just didn’t care so much for her. She wondered if he ever cared for things at all.
With a heavy heart she wandered the town and felt a melody of sorrows pour out from her soul. The cold stone pathways beneath her feet as she felt the rough stones make her entire body ache in pain with every step. Or perhaps it was because they reminded her of the dread to come. Across the bridge and towards the old church near the deep woods she found herself in the chapel.
Alone and only illuminated by the single lantern gripped in her fingers by the thin iron handle. Walked passed the pews as a waive of deja vu washed over her. A premonition of things to come for tomorrow. With a heavy sigh she looked ahead and noticed a box resting upon the alter. Stepping a bit quicker, set the lantern to the side and wiped away the dust of the old box. Marks and engravings of Scottish/Irish culture with Gaelic markings.
It was unlocked and something compelled her to look inside. Upon doing so the rays of the moonlight peaked through the windows and shined upon a silver dagger. One used for ancient blood vow rituals. A gasp escaped her lips. She knew the priest wasn’t into such things but perhaps he felt a bit of sympathy towards her. After all her family was cold and cruel to her ever since they were loosing their fortune. This marriage was only to save their pride from being out on the streets.
Her fingertips grazed the smooth coldness of the hilt and between the edges of the blade. Without even touching the tip just knew it was sharp. Ready to open up a part of her and her beloved for their life of scarlet to unite into one binding forever. Taking a deep breathe, felt the tears lining her eyes, her entire body shaking.
Lifting up her trembling hands. Slowly intied the string of her hooded cloak. Allowing it to slip to the floor, her brunette curls cascading down to her waist. Her off the shoulder and sweetheart neckline purple gown revealed too much skin per society standards. But it was enough. Enough to not bother making a tear in the fabric she wore. Although the stains would ruin it anyway. Less fighting back the force from piercing through to the skin. From the stitches.
Reaching out she grabbed the dagger in her quivering fingertips. Tears rolled down her cheeks slowly as her mouth parted open. Her breathing a bit shaken as she lifted up the slightly dense object in her palm. Turning it around slowly as the tip of the blade touched her skin, right above her heart. A small poke already caused a small drop of blood to trickle down her chest.
That’s when the world around her froze. Where she felt a moment to stop the shaking, regain a bit of control as she leaned back slightly. Raising the weapon that will end her suffering just a bit higher above her head. With one last look upon the full moon, one last bit of beauty, she faced the darkness. Shut her eyes and took a deep breath. Her final breath.
In one swift motion she began it aim it directly at her heart. Only she didn’t feel the sharp plunge beneath her skin. In fact she sensed its presence but hovering over her. Mocking her intention it felt. But there was another thing that caused her to open her eyes. Feeling two hands grasping her wrists from behind. Holding her between two arms that were quite strong. The familiar dressed black suit, a more blue felt color of skin poking through the torn sleeve on one side and the deep stitches all over. Looking ahead she saw one hand gripping her wrists, the other on the hit holding it back.
“Mavis….why…..?….”
Another gasp escaped her lips. The voice was…familiar…haunted even. But that couldn’t be? For he was long ago passed away. Into the plane of existence between realms. This had to be a dream. A hallucination. He wasn’t….there was no way this was real. But her heart pounded all the same. Just like when he was alive and by her side all those years ago.
“W-W-…Wally?” She breathed feeling all sorts of emotions, most a bit foolish for even asking.
“Yes… I’m here Mavis.”
The whisper in her ear caused the dagger to drop from her fingertips and a swift turn around to face whomever was behind her. The clink of metal upon the wooden floor and her eyes widening as the moonlight gleamed a bit brighter to illuminate them both. Lifting her hands upon seeing the face of someone she once knew. Albeit a bit more…corspely than before but that was to be expected. Well actually none of this was ever expected. Yet here he stood. In a torn up suit and flower crown veil. Looking upon her as he once always did.
“W-Wally….y-you’re-….”
“Yes” He responded as if he heard her thoughts. Perhaps he did, who would know when it came to the undead. Wally smiled and gazed upon Mavis with such adoration and a bit of worry from earlier.
“It seems we both have questions” He continued gently, not wanting to scare her off.
“Just like when we were kids. One question each. I know it’s…frightening to see me like this. But I will tell you I promise.”
His words came out slow and soft. Mavis just stood there in utter bewilderment. If anyone else was in this situation their gut would tell them to run away and never look back. But Mavis, she felt something different inside her. Something that compelled her to stay and listen. After all the other side to this coin of an opportunity was that her friend was here. Her dearest friend whom she cared for deeply. Whatever time she had now would need to be cherished forever. With a small hesitant nod and smile, stayed in place.
“O-okay” Mavis stuttered slightly, waiting for him to ask since she already sort of did earlier. Wally’s smile faltered and pointed down at the dagger laying between them. Her drop of blood still evident upon the tip. Not once did he look away from her whilst asking his trouble question.
“Why? Why were you about to-….”
“I- I don’t know what fully compelled me to do so in that moment. But after everything I’ve been through…. it felt like my only escape.” Biting her lower lip to hold back the tears and her trembling voice that dared to threaten this moment. Swallowing a deep breath and back her own sorrows before smiling again.
“How are you here? I thought…this seems impossible.”
“I thought so as well” Wally began. Knowing he had more to ask about her but kept his promise to be fair in all this.
“There is a place between above and below called the Land of the Dead. I was also pledged to be married to someone…who ended up killing me as you might’ve heard at some point.” He paused as she nodded with a bit of anger and sorrow in her eyes. “There I wandered aimlessly trying to familiarize my current surroundings. Whilst searching for a way to find closure in my unfinished business here in the living world.
I came across some rather strange trees with doorways that marked different paths of seasons and realms. Finding a few friends I found myself a place to rest. However I knew there was something I had to do here. I was compelled to come through the door of the living, not an easy feat by the way, and I came here. Why? I wasn’t sure…until I saw you.”
“You-…you have unfinished business with me?” Mavis asked without realizing she spoke out loud before earning a chuckle from Wally.
“Sneaky with those two questions but I’ll allow it. Since you’re now going to answer two of mine. In a way, yes.”
Feeling a bit dumb she glanced away as he laughed a bit once more. Not at her but because he found her charming. He always did. Walking closer Wally hesitantly reached out and placed a hand beneath her chin. Gently encouraging Mavis to look his way. Once she did, her brushed her locked back and cupped her cheek.
“There you are…Mavis. Why would harming yourself- ending your own life like that give you an escape?”
The words made her feel a twinge of guilt and as her eyes glossed over yet again, felt herself turning away embarrassed. Then felt his other hand, now both, upon her pink permeated skin and leaned a bit closer to look into her eyes.
“You can tell me. I promise you’re safe here.”
“That’s the problem Wally. I’m not safe!” Reaching up she overlapped his hands with her own. Taking his left one in her own as she allowed the other one to linger against her face.
“My family is loosing it’s fortune and whatever little respect and love they once had for me died with it. I am forced to wed a man who I do not love nor sense any way I could find love if we were to be married. I have been locked up like a porcelain doll! Caged and shattered. Not really cared for and no longer loved by the ones that brought me into this life. I lost you and now them, I cannot bare to loose whatever I have left.”
At this point she held their entwined hands over her heart, modestly so, and she leaned into his touch, nearly allowing her lips to be pressed so firmly against his cold skin. Yet they were the only thing that gave her any sense of warmth from physical touch. Wally’s own unbeating heart felt like it was breaking all over again. Sliding his hand behind her head, pulled her into his arms and allowed her to cry.
“I’m here now Mavis….and other than the physical, you haven’t lost me and you never will.”
“But you are-….and I’m not….Please don’t make that promise when we both know it can’t be kept.” She begged clinging against him through her broken voice.
“Oh Wally I miss you so much! I missed hearing your voice, talking, laughing, doing fun things together…. When you died a part of my soul died too. I cared for you a lot….I cared-…care for you more than you ever knew.”
“Mavis….what are you saying?” Wally asked as she pulled away to give him a small, as she found it pathetic, smile.
“I’m saying that I loved you then and I still do now. I love you so much that it hurts and I didn’t know and still don’t know how to deal with it. I realized my affections too late and now that I have this moment with you….I can’t loose it….But now I’m seeing it a bit pointless too because I don’t know how long this is going to last. At least I can get some piece of mind at rest knowing that I finally told you.”
“Mavis…. you have no idea how thrilled I am to hear that.” Taking her hand again Wally pulled her close once more. Hoping she didn’t mind the cold sensation or the odd moment of a corpse about to say what he is going to confess to her.
“Because I love you too. I have been from the moment I heard you laugh. When you laughed at one of my bad jokes. The smile you gave me that day….oh it was a precious smile indeed. A rare jewel to behold. I loved the moments we shared and the time we spent growing up together. I never told you this before because I too didn’t realize how I felt until it was too late. When I did that’s when the door appeared. Taking me to see you now.”
“Wally….” Mavis breathed as she leaned in and pressed her forehead against his own. He followed in suit and brushed his hand upon her cheek once more.
“I don’t’ want to say goodbye again….I want this moment to last forever. But that’s a dream that won’t come true will it….”
“Actually….there might be one way.” Wally whispered pulling back slightly and giving a small bit sad smile.
“I heard of a legend of the chalice of wine….the wine of the dead. It’s poison. But Mavis I couldn’t ask you to just-”
“I’ll do it” She breathed with determination and a smile that filled her eyes with a glimmer of hope.
“I want to do it…. I rather spend an eternity with you than live in misery here. It’s my choice to drink….if it’s your choice to be with me.” Taken a bit back from her words he slowly began to smile with a bit of a smirk.
“Are you asking me, a corpse groom, to be your husband?”
“Wally Darling….will you be mine? For all eternity?” With a nod she pulled off her grandfather’s ring to place upon his corpse finger.
“If you be mine…for all eternity.” Pulling into his pocket pulled out a familiar silver locket. The one she laid upon his hands upon the last place she was with him before he passed. Leaning closer as she turned around, pulling her hair to the side as he placed the necklace back upon her neck. Then turned her around to look into her eyes once more.
“It will take me an hour to go fetch it and return to you. Will you promise to be here by then once more?”
“I will. Do you promise to return to me?” Mavis asked feeling a bit unsure about waiting that long. Fearing it could be a dream once more. Touching the heart shaped locked beneath her fingertips.
“As long as you wear that necklace and I this ring, my promise to you shall never be broken.” With a wink she nodded and giggled feeling a bit more sure of herself.
The hour had come to pass as Mavis hurried home, bathed in calming and clean waters before slipping into her wedding dress. Off the shoulders, sweetheart neckline, lantern transparent sleeves as the entire dress was adorned with flowers and vines in a lace pattern. The white boots she wore beneath matched everything and the locket tied it all together.
Once more she walked over to the church in her cloak and lantern. This time with determination, joy and a bit of uneasiness. However upon opening the door her worries faded away. For there stood Wally on the other end of the isle. Awaiting for her to come as a another corpsely presence, which resembled a lot of a man whom seemed familiar to her in her youth, stood behind the alter. Which held the chalice and the poisoned wine.
However as her eyes fixed back upon Wally, she allowed the cloak to slip off her shoulders to reveal her wedding gown. Holding the lantern, with a small white rose flower in hand as well, like it was a bouquet. While no one else was there. There seemed to be music echoing between them. As if the heavens above were blessing this union.
Upon reaching the end, she placed the lantern on the alter and faced her beloved. Not once looking away as the other corpse, named Frank she found out, recited the ceremonial union speech. Then when it came time to drink from the chalice Wally stopped her.
“Wait….the blood vow… I may not be of blood anymore. But you are and… the intent is still the same. It’s what you’ve always wanted right?” He whispered as she breathed in, still smiling though a bit bigger, and spoke those words with all her heart.
Ye are Blood of my Blood, and Bone of my Bone.I give ye my Body, that we Two might be One.I give ye my Spirit, 'til our Life shall be Done.
Then gently she lifted up the silver rim to her lips and allowed the sweet red liquid to fill her inside. Placing the chalice down she looked at Wally and leaned in to give him a soft kiss upon his lips. Unprompted but get right. Returning her affections he held her close, knowing what was about to happen.
Once she pulled apart it took only seconds before she felt her body gasping for air slightly. While she knew it was coming, it still frightened her so. Wally held her close even as she slid to the floor. Her back and side leaning against him as he positioned her securely within his embrace. Giving her once last look of the full moon from this realm. Excited somehow to show her the full moon on the other side. More beautiful than he ever would’ve dreamed.
“Wally I’m-…..”
“I’m here Mavis…shh… I’m here.” Gently running his fingers down her soft curls as he watched her eyes close for the last time amongst the living. The blood draining from her skin causing a soft pale silver glow around her. The last breath she had, escaped into the air forever. Caressing her cheek with his thumb, waiting for her to find where her soul touched the plane of the spirits. Just like he was.
“Mavis?” He leaned in a whisper. Watching in relief as her eyes slowly opened. Dead to the world, but was beautiful in his eyes as the doe like aura turned to a glimmer of starlight. When her eyes met his she smiled.
“Hello Wally…. how long was I out for?”
“The transition took a few minutes. I’m sorry if I caused-”
“Don’t be…. it was painless really. Just felt scared for the unknown. But I have you now.” Mavis tried getting up but found it a bit of a challenge since this was till new to her. Wally lifted her in his arms and began to carry her away.
“It’ll take some time.…allow me to help you. My beautiful bride.”
“Thank you…. My adoring husband…whom I love with all my heart.” She leaned her head against his shoulder as he carried her off over the threshold of deaths doors to a place where they can eternally live in peace. Whispering back his own sweet confession of the heart once again and will forever more continued to do so like she would.
“I love you too my darling….with all my heart.”
