Fallen Moon

Chapter 14: Hell

"What," Blaire yelled. "What do you mean I have to walk down the aisle with her?" Raven could hear her arguing with her father. He had to leave his spot to counsel her. The woman was throwing a fit. Raven was left standing there beside her. She was trying her best to ignore Blaire's unnecessary temper tantrum. "No, I refuse, I walk down the aisle first to my husband then she walks down after me. I will not share the aisle with a pile of garbage by my side."

"Garbage?, deep breaths, Raven, no need to kill her. She knows not what she says. She's just a spoiled child." Raven repeated these thoughts in her head. It was the only thing keeping her from ripping Blaire's hair out. It was bad enough she was marrying Angel in front of her. Bad enough that she had to watch him kiss this woman. The urge to kill her was growing by the second the more she thought of Blaire marrying Angel. The more it upset her. She tried not to think about it but it was all she could think about. Angel kissing this ugly, spoiled rotten bitch. She tightened her hand into a fist.

"What's the matter, got something to say wolf?" Blaire smirked. Raven didn't reply after all. It wasn't like she had anything nice to say to her. She wondered if the crowd would be upset if she tripped Blaire while she was walking down the aisle. Or, shoved her face in the cake then broke a glass plate over her head. She'd enjoy it. "Nothing? Figures," She fixed her hair. "The point is, I refuse to walk down the aisle with her. So, fix it, now."

"Sweetie, I can't fix it," Lord Alexander explained. "It's what we decided when we agreed to share weddings. Lycan insisted that you walk down the aisle with this woman." He motioned over to Raven. "It was the only way he would agree to do it. If he has to stand next to Angel and endure his presence. Then," He ran his finger through her hair. "You should be willing to endure hers. You look beautiful and nothing will change that. So please, just endure it. It's just one straight walk down the aisle and Angel will be thrilled to see you. As soon as it's over, you will never have to see her again. So, please, for me, just endure it."

"But father," Blaire argued. "She's a werewolf, look at her." She motioned over to Raven. "She's ugly, she smells and I hate her. She's ruining my wedding just by being here." Lord Alexander let out a deep sigh. "So, I'll say it again, fix it."

"Blaire, you don't seem to understand. Your actions here today. Could gravely affect my chances of offering pea-,"

Wait, this wedding. So, that's it, that's why Lord Alexander insisted that their weddings be held together. He wanted to use this wedding as an example to show that werewolves and vampires can coexist. He's offering peace. Raven could hardly believe it, Lord Alexander doesn't want the war to continue. This wedding could put an end to the war.

"Peace," Blaire laughed. "You want to offer peace to these creatures?" She yelled. "After all the people we've lost and all the people they've brutally murdered. You're going to offer them peace, did Lord Grimm ever offer peace to us? No, I don't think so. How dare you," She glared into her father's eyes. "Use my wedding as a way to offer peace to those filthy beasts. Go ahead, try to stop this war father, I dare you."

"If this war continues, I will die, is that what you want?" Lord Alexander asked. "I've talked it over with Scythe. It's either I die for my people or I offer peace so that I can live and continue to serve my people. If you and Lycan show that the two of you hold no ill will toward each other. It could be enough to convince my brother to let go of this grudge he bears toward the vampires. I've never wanted to fight my brother to begin with. He asked for this and now I'm trying once more to offer peace. Not just for me, but for all of us. The war has to stop, you have the power to stop it and I encourage you to do so."

"No the war doesn't have to stop," Blaire shook her head. "You call yourself a King, you're not a King, you're a coward. But," She let out a long deep sigh. "Considering everything you've done for me. Not to mention, how much it would hurt to lose my dear father. I guess I could endure this wedding and help you offer peace. It's the least I can do," She shrugged. "I'll make you proud, father." She hugged him. While she was hugging him. Raven noticed an evil grin form on Blaire's lips.
