"Till death do us part." She smiled, fixing her smudged mascara and lipstick in the bathroom mirror. She took a step back, gently fluffing out her dress. After running her hands through her sporadic hair, she opened the bathroom door and stepped out into the large seating area of the church.
Guests all lined up in the pews, some faces familiar, others not. She smiled at them while taking gentle steps down the isle, making her way up to the groom.
"You've always been so handsome, ever since we met in middle school." She smiled, turning her head to the side slightly.
"You're a monster." He sputtered, struggling against the rope that was holding his hands and knees in place. She knelt down and frowned, softly caressing his cheek.
"Now, is that any way to speak to your lovely bride?" The woman asked, smirking and gripping his chin tightly. "You made the worst mistake of your life leaving me for that skank."
She grabbed the blood stained viel off the church floor next to him and shoved it into his mouth after balling it up, quickly rising to her feet and walking to the first pew.
"Now, hubby." She said, spinning around and locking eyes with him. The woman twirled the knife in her hand a few times, dragging her fingertip along the blade. "I want you to watch as I slaughter the whore who ruined us."
A muffled scream came from behind her, to which she turned around and smiled. The ginger woman who was mocking her in that stupidly ugly wedding dress had tears in her eyes. She was struggling against her restraints, and the wound on her head had blood dripping down her face. The bride walked over and cupped her face, lifting the knife up to her face.
"You never deserved him. You're the whore who broke us apart, all because you couldn't keep those stupid little legs of yours closed." She hissed, holding back tears through gritted teeth. "This should've been my day. My name should be the one on the invite, not yours."
The ginger shook her head while tears streamed out of her eyes.
"It's time you finally get what you deserve." She said, lifting the knife into the air and plunging it into the redhead's leg. Another muffled scream was let out of her mouth, but no one was around to here besides the groom. She yanked the knife out of her leg and brought it up to her throat.
"I hope Hell will be happy that their leader finally returned." She smirked, winking at her before applying pressure with the tip of the blade as she dragged it along her throat.
Warm blood splattered across the woman's face and dress, adding to the already large amounts of blood already on it. When her body went limp, she turned back to the soon to be husband.
"You're mine, and we belong together. Yes, we belong together." She smiled, kneeling down once more. "For eternity."
She brought the knife up with both hands, but three loud rings sounded throughout the church. She dropped the knife and turned around, struggling to stand up.
Four men in uniforms were aiming their weapons at her, and she smiled. Her hearing quickly became faint, and there was an ungodly amount of pain spreading throughout her body. She looked down to the dress and saw three holes in her stomach, each with a growing pool of blood staining the fabric it touched.
Her vision began to blur, and she was suddenly lying on the floor. The woman looked to the groom and smirked, laughing while blood sputtered out of her mouth.
"For eternity." She smiled, blowing a kiss before everything went dark.

"When I get married I want you all in my wedding." I said, laying in a circle with Donna, Lucy and Eleanor. I stared at the star studded sky, hoping to see a shooting star.
"Well, duh. We'll all be your bridesmaids, Kat." Donna chuckled softly, as we all started giggling.
"We start highschool tomorrow. Do you think we'll grow apart?" Eleanor asked, and the giggles stopped. I bit my lip and sighed.
"We've been best friends since diapers. If we were going to grow apart I think we would've already." Lucy said. I quickly sat up and spun around, looking at my friends still laying in a circle on the blanket. They all looked at me and sat up as well.
"Guys. We need to make a pact." I said, as they all shared glances before looking to me with the same confused look.
"What?" Donna asked, and I sighed.
"Hold hands." I said, as we all took each other's hands. "We're never going to let anyone or anything come between us. New friends, boys, family, jobs, nothing. Nothing will tear us apart."
"We'll always have each other's backs, even if we get frustrated with one another." Lucy added.
"We won't date each other's ex, cause that's weird." Eleanor added, and we all chuckled a bit.
"Till death do us part." We all said, giving each other the same serious look. After we let go of each other's hands, we all started laughing.
"No breaking the pact. We have to stick together in order to survive in this stupid town." Donna said, and we all nodded.
I looked across my yard and saw the porch light turn on. Soon after, the house next door and the two across the street also had their porch lights on. I looked back to my friends and we all shared the same scared look.
"Time to head home." Eleanor sighed, standing up. We all stood up and got into our group hug.
"We'll all meet at the bus stop tomorrow at 7:20, right?" Lucy asked, and we all nodded.
"I love you guys." Donna said.
"We're gonna rule this high school." I smiled, as we all started walking back to our houses.
When I got to my front door I turned around and watched each of my friends walk into their homes. Soon after they walked in, their porch lights turned off. I smiled to myself before heading inside.
We're unbreakable.
