The End is Never the End

Chapter 5

I woke up that morning to the sweet smell of cinnamon and sugar, but no Ren next to me. So, I figured they must be in the kitchen. Tiredly, I stumble into the kitchen seeing Ren sitting on the floor with Pop by the oven watching the food bake. I walk over and plant a light kiss on the top of their head pouring my coffee into my cup and sit down next to them yawning. Pop spins in circles in front of us and Ren talks about how nervous they were for the big day. I attempted to make them more at ease and talk about another subject till the oven chimed. I got up and gave Ren a plate of warm cinnamon rolls and poured them some milk. They thanked me with a kiss on the cheek and sat down giving Pop a few pieces of the sugary delight. Soon enough we all finished our food and a knock at the door echoed through the house causing me to get up and head to the door. I opened it to see one of Ren's friends excitedly waiting to be able to take Ren to her house to get ready. Ren grabbed their dress and makeup rushing out the door practically bouncing with excitement.
I finally got ready a bit past 1:00 and I started driving out the field we planned our wedding in. I drove anxiously, thinking about the whole thing. When I finally arrived I was one of the first people here besides the wedding planners. It looked beautiful. As soon as I stepped out of the car the light breeze made the air cool and the sweet crisp smell of the clean air filled my lungs. The venue was decorated with fairy lights and flowers. The Arbor was placed beneath this large oak tree whose branches were also intertwined with fairy lights. The Arbor itself was white which gave great contrast to the dark oak exterior of the tree. It was tangled in yellow and light pink flowers. Behind the rows of benches were several rustic looking gazebos where the food and drinks lay. As soon as I took in all the atmosphere I walked over sitting on one of the benches relaxing slightly before everyone started showing up. Right as I sat down a car pulled up and Ren stepped out of it. They were wearing a light blue dress with silver laced shoes and they had tiny flowers on them. Their hair was tied back into this beautiful braid. They were stunning. I get up and walk over to them brushing a strand of hair behind their ear smiling and placing a kiss on their forehead. As soon as we started talking more and more people started to show up. And soon enough everyone was there. Gilbert and Cleauts stayed close to us most of the time talking. Cleatus seemed kinda off and I didn't know what it was but I figured I'd leave it alone and bring it up later. About an hour into the service it was finally time. Everyone took their places on the seats and since Ren didn't have their father to walk them down the aisle we both walked down together, hand in hand. We took our places under the Arbor and Cleatus was our officiary. Me and Ren took each other's hands while reciting our vows, and we declared Pop as our ring bearer. The little puppy bounced down the aisle and brought us our rings then Ceatus spoke, "Do you you Ren Price take this man to be your husband through sickness and in heath, till death do you part? " Ren responded without skipping a heartbeat. "I do, I promise to be the best partner I can be for you, forever" Cleatus nodded and turned to me "Z do you take Ren price to be your partner through sickness and in health till death do you part?" I nodded "I do" As soon as those words were spoken the sounds of helicopters and shouting from all around us echoed through the air and people shot up from the ground knocking things over. Everyone was freaking out and frantically trying to get away but stopped when they noticed that everyone had guns. One of the people from the helicopters yelled through the speaker on their copter words that shattered me to the core. "Cleatus we have you surrounded, come out with your hands up and no one gets hurt!" I cautiously turned to Cleatus who started glowing this bright white and levitating from the ground. "What the hell is happening?!" I shouted but no answer. Ren latches onto me shaking and I hold them close protecting them as I see Cleatus's body change and morph into an entirely different being. I stood there shocked, staring at him while he levitated higher and higher into the sky. I-im just so lost. What happened to him? The men on the ground and in the air started shooting towards Cleatus but the bullets just ricochet off his body. It's like he's a god. That would explain why he didn't die from the explosion and now that I think of it when he was laying there, he didn't have a scratch on him. But, but how? As soon as panic set into my body Cleatus glanced down at us before a Giant white light filled my vision and everything went silent.
