Unexpected Wedding

The next day, I woke up in my room! I looked around but didnt see Derek. My mother ran up the stairs. "Get up and get ready!" She yelled. I looked at her confused. "For what?"

My mother rolled her eyes. "Your wedding!" She beamed. She threw a white wedding dress on my bed. It had a black victorian goth corset on it. My mother left to go get ready.

I got up and brushed my long brown hair. I put on my wedding dress, and my black heels. My mother walked in wearing an ugly gold dress with red diamond earings the mayor gave her. "Time for your wedding." She smiled.

We went to the church and all the villagers were there. My mother went and sat down next to the mayor. I walked down the old, ripped carpet, and stood by Jace.

The priest cleared his throat. "Today we celebrate a very special day for the mayors son. Do you Jace Loker take Anastasia Swan to be your wife?"

Jace smiled. "Yes. I do." The priest than looked at me. "And do you Anastasia Swan take Jace Loker to be your husband?"

I looked at the villagers, then my mom, then at Jace. "No. I do not!" I said. Everyone in the village gasped. I went to run out but Jace grabbed my arm. I turned around and punched his nose, making it bleed. He fell to the ground while holding his nose. "I will not marry a man who slept with every woman in the village!" I yelled. "Anastasia! You will marry him!" My mother yelled. "No!" I yelled. I ran out of the church and the church bells started ringing. I ran and ran to the forest.

"Derek!" I yelled. I look around the foggy forest, but didnt see him. I turned around and saw Derek. He walked towards me. "Don't you have to be at your wedding?" He asked.

I looked up into his eyes. "I said no."
Derek's eyes widened. "You did what!?"
"She said no!" Jace said while walking to us.
I went behind Derek. Fear struck me again. "She's mine!" Jace yelled. Derek punched him. "You don't deserve anyone!" Derek yelled angrily.

Derek walked over to me. I looked over at Jace and saw him get up with a knife. He ran towards Derek and threw him to the ground. "No!" I yelled. Jace took the knife and cut Derek's arm making it bleed. Derek kicked Jace making him hit the tree. I ran to Derek and helped him up. Jace slowly stood up and started laughing. "Anastasia, you're mine. You always were and always will be."

Derek kicked his stomach, and punched his nose making it bleed. He grabbed Jace and picked him up by his throat. "If you EVER try to hurt Anastasia again, I will kill you!" Derek yelled angrily. He threw Jace on to the tree.

We went back to the Cabin, and I sat down on the couch. Derek got out a bandage wrap and some rubbing alcohal. He rolled up his sleeve revealing the deep cut Jace gave him. "Let me help you." I said while taking the rubbing alcohal and putting it on the cloth. I dabbed the cloth over the cut. Derek groaned in pain. "I-I'm so sorry, this happened to you." I studdered. "It's okay. You're safe now." Derek said. I wrapped the cut with the bandage wrap and looked at Derek. "Am I safe?"

He looked into my eyes. "Of course, why wouldn't you be?"
I looked down. "You killed my sister, am I next?" I said while holding tears back.
"I would never hurt you." He said. He sounded upset due to the fact I thought he'd kill me too.

"Can I ask you something?" I asked. Derek looked into my eyes. "Yes?"
"How did I end up in my room this morning?" I asked.
"You fell asleep on the couch, so I carried you home." Derek said.
"Oh." I replied. Derek went and layed down on the bed. I layed down on the couch and fell asleep.
