Ok, before you start reading I need to let you know a few things:
-My contest is still going, so ENTER. If you CAN'T DRAW/WRITE, I don't care, I'LL BE THE JUDGE. DON'T WORRY ABOUT OTHERS.
-I will be updating a little bit less because I have a small business going and I already have some orders that need to be completed. I'm so happy!
-My birthday is a month away!
On with the story!
The church bell rang, loud and clear.
"Big brother!"
Three young children were running around in front of the church, having the time of their lives. They stopped when they noticed a large group of people entering the church doors.
"Lots of people here today, huh, big brother?" The younger boy asked the eldest sibling.
"Why?" asked the little girl.
"Dunno." Was the elder's response.
"You're older! You don't know?" The younger boy questioned.
"Are you dumb?" The girl asked, pointing her small, chubby finger at her brother.
"I'm only twelve! I don't have to know!" Was the response the two recieved.
"Indeed." Another voice was heard.
Behind the older boy was an older man wearing black robes with a grey sash, black boots, and a black hat on top of his long silver hair. A shovel right next to him.
"It's only natural a normal 12-year-old wouldn't know. Today is a certain noblewoman's big day."
"Big day?" The little girl wondered.
The man's mouth turned up into a creepy smile. "Yes—a person's final, biggest ceremony in life. The funeral."
"Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. So that we do not close off our distant future, all living things must open death's door." The priest read.
"Aunt Ann..." Elizabeth sat in front of Madame Red's coffin.
"This lady has opened death's door and..."
The doors to the church were opened to reveal Ciel with a red dress in his arms.
"Ciel?" Elizabeth was surprised to see her fiancé like this.
Ciel began walking down the aisle with the dress in hand.
"That's...the Phantomhive boy?" "A scarlet dress?" "How improper!" "But Madame loved the color red." People whispered, but were ignored by Ciel.
He reached the altar and placed the red dress over the body. "White flowers and plain dresses don't suit you." He told the body of his aunt. "What suits you is a passionate red." He placed the red rose he had in her hair. "The color of spider lilies blazing in the fields... Aunt Ann." He kissed her forehead.
(English translations are under the actual lyrics. Listen to the song. It's called "Rose" by Lee Hi. It's in Korean. BUT it's great.)
"Nae sarangeun saeppalgan rose
Jigeumeun areumdapgetjiman
Nalkaroun gasiro neol apeuge halgeol."
Everyone gasped as roses floated into the room, as if being pushed the beautiful voice that echoed in the walls of the church.
"Nae sarangeun saeppalgan rose
Geurae nan hyanggiropgetjiman
Gakkai halsurok neol dachige halgeol."
They all turned back to the entrance of the church and saw a young lady that looked to be in her early twenties. She wore a black gown that had sleeves up to her wrists. On her head was a black veil that looked fit for a wedding if it were white. In her hands was a large bouquet of red and blue roses. She was like the black bride to a black wedding as she walked down the aisle and sang the song.
"Geureon gabyeoun nunbicheuro nal chyeodaboji marajwoyo
Hamburo sarangeul swipge yaegihajima
Nae mameul gatgo sipdamyeon nae apeumdo gajyeoya haeyo
Eonjenga bandeusi gasie jjillil tenikka

So just run away run away
I said ooh ooh ooh

Every rose has its thorn
Every rose has its thorn
Every rose has its thorn

(English)
My love is like a red rose
It may be beautiful now
But my sharp thorns will hurt you
My love is like a red rose
Yes, I may be fragrant
But the closer you get, the more I'll hurt you
Don't look at me with that light glance
Don't speak of love easily
If you want my heart, you need to take my pain too
Because you will be pricked by my thorns someday
Don't trust me too much
You don't know me that well yet
So just run away run away
I said ooh ooh ooh
Don't love me
You don't know me that well yet
I said run away just run away
Don't come to me
My love is like a red rose
It may be beautiful now
But my sharp thorns will hurt you
My love is like a red rose
Yes, I may be fragrant
But the closer you get, the more I'll hurt you
Seeing your confidence makes me feel so bad for you
Your confident footsteps toward me looks so pitiful today
Emotions? That's an extravagance to me
Love? That's Obsession's best friend
So run away just run away
Cuz you and I must come to an end
Every rose has its thorn
Every rose has its thorn
Every rose has its thorn
Don't trust me too much
You don't know me that well yet
So just run away run away
I said ooh ooh ooh
Don't love me
You don't know me that well yet
I said run away just run away
Don't come to me
My love is like a red rose
It may be beautiful now
But my sharp thorns will hurt you
My love is like a red rose
Yes, I may be fragrant
But the closer you get, the more I'll hurt you
When she finished singing, she had reached the coffin. She lifted the veil to reveal her face. Stunning blue eyes looked so sad that many wondered how a lovely lady such as herself could be that way. She placed the roses on top of the red dress on Madame Red.
"You were the one who took me in when I needed you most. You were the friend I never had. You were the mother I had after my own passed away. You were the sister that I always wanted. You my meaning in life when all seemed lost. Now that you are gone, I will make sure you are never forgotten by those who knew you. Your name shall never be the discussion of hatred. I shall be your servant, just like I was when you were with me. Never shall I allow anyone ruin what you have left to call your own. I shall protect those you hold dear. I will do as you told me when I first came into your arms: I will reveal my existence to the world once more." She bowed and kissed her forehead.
She then stood and turned to everyone else who were nearly in tears with her words. They then realized that this was the deceased Madame Red's female butler.
"Everyone, as promised to Madame Red, it is time to reveal who I truly am."
She stood up straight, raising her head high and proud.
"I am the lost queen of dance. I am Alejandra De la Rosa Castillo. I am the Dancing Swan."
Not much happened I know. I'm really sorry, but this is what I can do right now. Tomorrow I will have more time to write since I will be alone at home for about 4 hours.
Oh. I had a hard time choosing the song for this chapter. I had one in mind a long time ago, but then more awesome songs came into my ears I wasted about 2 hours just thinking on what the song would be.
If you like KPOP or are interested in foreign music (unless you are Korean) then I want you to listen to one song in particular:
"Wedding Dress" by Taeyang
You can leave your opinions in a review. I don't mind. I just decided that I will put up a song that I like at the end of every chapter. Leave reviews!
Reviews:
Frostivy: Thank you. I feel SO much better now. I got so emotional at one point with this and nearly cried. My sister made fun of me. -_- Thank you for reviewing.
7DeadColors: You don't know how happy I was when I saw your review. I am very excited about the fact that you love this. Thank you and please keep reading!
