❝The wedding❞

Part 3

.•*•.

Holding myself together is the hardest thing to do now, when all I want to do is break down right here and right now and just cry. My dad had forced me to take his hand and he pushes me inside and we are walking down the aisle with the music playing the wedding song that I don't know what name is, but it is played in every wedding or at least in the movies, so I assume it's the wedding song or whatever it's called. I suppose it doesn't matter. 67

Seeing the happy faces of my siblings who I have managed to spot are the only good thing about this day, their happiness is everything. Though, it does feel like torture to having to walk down this aisle with the man who sold me off like a horse and to the man who bought me like a horse. They have signed off my future and I'm left with nothing. I see him standing there, in his tuxedo, he does look handsome but he's the devil and I will never love him. This marriage isn't even based on love, so why should I love him? 52

Finally, after what felt like eternity, we arrive at the altar and I walk to the place that I'm supposed to stand at and face the devil. His look is hardened and in his eyes I can see no emotion, like he doesn't even care about this, about me. I never really expected him to care for me, but at least I expected some emotion. Perhaps there is a reason after all why he is called the devil and a devil he is. My heart beats faster in my chest as we take hands as the priest who is about to marry us tells us to do. 11

The priest begins to speak, but I tune him out. Talking about some things that I don't want to hear, but I do know that his words were shortened. When you have enough money like the man that currently holds my hands (I feel disgusted by the way) then you can pretty much order anyone to do what you want, for example lessen the words that the priest has to say so that this doesn't take that very long. At least this is the one thing that the two of us will ever agree on. 17

Hurrying this along is better for me, because I really don't want to be here and getting this done is what I need to happen. This already hurts me so much and standing here feels even worse, now that I know that this isn't even a dream, a dream that I would soon wake from, I wish. "I, Sebastian King, take you, Fawn Thorn, to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part" He speaks in front of me and at his words, I snap into reality.

Holy, this is really happening now. I can't even believe it. When he had spoken those words, he had looked right into my eyes, but there was nothing in his eyes. It was like he was staring deep into my soul and trying to destroy it will all his might, I felt like he could see right through me. And the emotionless eyes of his are something that I fear, as no ordinary human has no emotion behind their eyes and as everyone knows, the eyes are the windows to the soul. 3

It is like he has no soul, and no emotions and just nothing but cruelness and wickedness and evilness. I believe I'm beginning to understand it all too well why he is the devil and I wonder if there is anything that I can do to send him back to Hell, where he belongs and should stay for the rest of his life. Then the priest asks me if I would like to take him as my husband. Even the word husband sounds foreign and wrong to me, it doesn't feel right, not even the slightest. 7

When the priest looks at me, expecting an answer, I grow very nervous. I realize that I haven't really been nervous this whole time, I've mostly been in myself this whole time and never really bothered to care about anything else. It feels like time has come to a stop and I'm alone in the world and only my thoughts as my company. My mind is racing and I can't seem to think straight. I'm about to make the worst mistake of my life and it's not like I can deny this, since I was sold off to him.

"I..." I begin but my voice is so low that barely anyone had heard me, even I barely heard myself from the low tone in my voice. My voice feels strange to myself and it feels strange to hear it after so long of not speaking. He squeezes my hands tightly, trying to get me to say something, anything. The pain in my hands is not nearly as much as the pain in my heart and soul. I close my eyes and take a deep breath before I open them again and begin speaking once more, louder this time.

"I, Fawn Thorn, take you, Sebastian King, to be my lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part" I speak without stuttering, thank God. "By the power invested in me, I make you man and wife. You may kiss the bride" The priest finishes but he doesn't kiss me, just pulls me down the aisle with him and just like that my fate has been written and I have really become his wife or his slave as I call it.
