NIGHT MOVES

ACCIDENTS & INTEL

I clenched my legs before colliding with what I hoped to be skin and bone. The force of the wreck painfully sent my body quivering as I careened backwards.

 
HALLUCINATION...

Audrey is standing inside a gazebo in a flouncy purple off shoulder dress. while Enzo is in a tuxedo with a purple tie and vest, standing on the right. The white gazebo is decked in white ribbons and anemones. Rayven begins to walk down the aisle with guests on either side. The guests stand and turn to her. She wonders why they stare, as surely she's a bridesmaid and not the bride! Rayven glances down in a panic to see a vast white skirt. She grabs at the skirt for closer inspection and sees white stilettos on her feet. She raises her face hoping to find a mirror somewhere. As she scans the guests she sees her cousin holding a compact mirror. Rayven catches her reflection and gasps, for she is indeed the bride! She's in a-line dress with a sweetheart neckline dipped in glitter. Secured to her hair is a gauzy veil that flows down her arms to the floor. Despite attempting to keep from moving, Rayven glides forward. She hovers down the cobblestone foot path to stand in front of Audrey. Rayven looks to Audrey's smiling face and attempts to signal her. However she finds she's frozen with her hands full of the bouquet. As she wriggles internally Enzo turns to her and whispers, "You're putting supermodels to shame." Rayven feels the need to lose her cookies, yet hasn't control over her body. Enzo takes the bouquet and hastily hands it off to Audrey and clasps Rayven's hands. As it's time to recite the vows, though there's no priest or officiant. It's a simple ceremony as their wedding certificate was signed at city hall.

"I Fiorenzo Amerigo Edoardo
Francesco Esposito, vow to protect, defend, and love you, Rayvenna Augusta Bloomington. Through chaos and mundane as long as I breathe. May this ring remind you of belongin' to me and detuh males."

Rayven wished to pull her hand away, to flee, yet she found herself immobile. She watched in horror as Enzo slid the glittery ring onto her finger. He awarded her a smile and gently squeezed her hand.

Enzo nodded to Rayven it was her turn. Though she fought it, her voice carried through.

"I Rayvenna Augusta Bloomington, wish to support you in youh many endeavouhs. To join in on youh amusements. Yet most important of all, to neveuh take you fouh granted. May this ring signify I belong to anothuh to any males who approach me."

As her body was under a force, Rayven slid the band onto Enzo's finger. Enzo clasped her cheeks and pressed his lips onto hers. As they were locked Enzo nibbled on her lip and stuck in his tongue. Rayven wished to hurl, to slap his face, to flee even.

"Please let this be a dream! Please let this be a dream! Please let this be a dream!" She recited as Enzo led her down the aisle surrounded by cheering guests.

HALLUCINATION OVER...

                         🔎

I opened my eyes to find Carver's torso on my right arm. Pain engulfed me and I whimpered.

"Rayven! Cuhvuh," Aud cried as she attempted to press Carver off of me.

"Is Cuhvuh molly-whopped," I growled as I weakly shoved at his still body.

"Yeah I'll say. His forehead hit the floouh giftin' him a planet sized goose egg. One that's risen his head off the ground. If you crouch down you can see almost half of his face." Aud mumbled incredulously as she began tugging on his body.

"Helluva, he's a deuce and a half," I grumbled as she pulled and I wriggled.

"Greetings, Blooms, wh-"
