Dark shadows book 1

Wedding on way - Chapter 4

Sometimes what you think about someone is not what they are

Screaming, crying and shouting, the vision in my eyes, that I can never forget, "what is this? "I shouted with a loud gasp. My mom in the corner of the room, turned to me asked "what happened ", Crystal opened the door panting," I couldn't find the box", my mom in an angry tone" what, did you see properly?"

My mom ran out of the room,
Katherine, forgot to tell you, Chris, sorry I mean Christian called last night, he wanted to talk to you about the wedding? Crystal said taking a deep breath.
Who is Christian? I  mumbled. You know Christian is the man you are going to get married to right !, he wanted to talk to you, you can talk to him right now if you want to? Too late already called him, here take the phone. Crystal said.
Taking the phone, I will let you two talk, Crystal whispered and left the room
Hello ahem hello Katherine
His voice was like toneless, young but confident, dismally mournful, ever-so-slightly supercilious, sensuous and insistent, rich and jovial, equally smooth, rather tensed
Katherine-Hello, Christian.
Jake- hello Katherine, it's Jake Ainsworth, I am Christian's brother, I have been wanting to talk to you since Christian announced you are his bride.
Katherine- Oh! What Did you want to talk about?
Jake-i know you want to talk to Chris but I wanted to talk something  about my brother before you get married to him
Katherine - pardon me but is their problem with Christian.
Jake - no, A couple of years ago Chris lost his fiancé Eva in a car crash, she was his true love, since then he didn't date anyone
Katherine- I am sorry about what happened with Eva, and thank you for telling me, Jake. But how did he aboded me?
Jake- He had to, until his father impetrated his last wish, him to get married.
Katherine - what do you mean by his father? Isn't he your father?
Jake - My parents died many years ago in a fire since then I have been living with Chris's family. Always it's nice talking to you miss Katherine, it will be a delight to see you, at the alter
Call ended............
A moment's of silence, so what did he say? Crystal comes back into the room with a hesitation

"Nothing important, it wasn't him, it was his brother Jake", I whispered. Oh! Jake answered your call, well the Ainsworth's brothers are quite a catch, Christian is a daredevil and Jake is a nobleman. The car is waiting for you, I think we should leave, I will tell aunt Olivia, come downstairs fast. Crystal said with a squeaky voice.
I went downstairs and sat in the car. Crystal got into the car with an irritated face

It seems aunt liv is going to come late it seems she need to find something important and it's better to leave to the alter at this moment, the traffic will be lighter than usual.

On the way to the alter, Crystal, kept on talking about Christian and jake, I have to say she made quite a lot of research on them

I entered the alter from the back exit since nobody should see the bride before the wedding, in less than 30 min I am going to be espoused, every bit of my body is telling me to jump down the window and escape the alter and be optimistic but the consequences of my happiness will bring gloom to my coven. My mom came into the room with a gift in her hand, she looked have relieved. She handed the gift to me and whispered this was my father's gift.
'Darling, I understand you don't want to get married to an unknown man but a wedding can be described as a bond between love and respect, it is going create coven entering a new stage of social advancement. This wedding is going to help in founding the new relationship between you and your husband. Also, this is thought to be the highest as well as the most important Institution in our coven. Unless or until u are married u cannot be the leader of our coven, do you understand' my mom said.

The door opens, Crystal shouts with a laggy low voice, it's time, aunt liv you go down I will bring Kat

What it's happening! happening, I don't think I am ready, I am not ready, what if he hates me? What if I don't be a good leader to my coven? no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, what am I think, I have to do this, If I could just tell my brain to calm the heck down, I would! My hearing issues stem from my brain filling in everything even silence with noise. My temperature sensing issues stem from my brain not calming down, "Katherine! Katherina Montaz! Back to earth, we need to leave or aunt liv will make my life horrible "Crystal was shouting
Dad's gift was in my hand, I opened it, it was a bracelet, it was beautiful, Crystal "what are you doing we need to go with a tense voice ", it's a gift from my dad, I said in a fumble voice, I miss him, Crystal, she it from my hand and placed it around my wrist , he will always be with you,

Walking down the aisle was a dream, seeing the man I love in front of me, I thought I will be happy getting married,
but this is a nightmare, marry a person for my selfish needs, with an unknown person,
My veil was down, I am slowly walking down the aisle with white lilies, everything was perfect except for one thing, to a person I don't even know. Everyone was looking at me, except for him, I could just see this back, those few steps looked like they were filled with nails and thorns.
Crystal was already there she took flowers from my hand, I turned around, I could see him, he was at least 6'1ft, his shoulders were broad and what the hell am I thinking? Let's just get over this marriage, I just don't want to be seen as a broken doll anymore

The minster kept saying something, there was the question - Christian Andrew Ainsworth will you have this woman to be your wife; to live together with her in the covenant of marriage? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, be faithful unto her as long as you both shall live?
There was a pause, my tension and anxiety were getting high and I couldn't breathe, is he having a second thought, as I do
