Die For You

Chapter 1

Scarlett:

The piano began to play, and I walked down the aisle as the Maid of Honor in front of the bride, my sister Gwendolyn. The bottom of my red dress was swaying with the slow movement of my legs. I got to the front, standing in my designated spot beside the bridesmaids Vivienne, Rebecca, Carly, Tara, Harlyn, Penelope, Maya, and Danielle. Gwendolyn walked down the isle with my father, slowly but confidently. I looked over to her groom, Daryll Hutchins, who had tears in his eyes. I smiled.

Soon Gwen was at the altar with Daryll, the bouquet of red roses in her hands. Everyone was silent, with the exception of my mother's sniffles and tears.

The preacher began to speak, reciting the traditional wedding officiants. As he spoke I looked through the audience. Everyone we invited came. Wait... someone's missing. Ah Kyndall. My best friend. She's late for everything... I hope she's here soon...

"If anyone has any objections, speak now or forever hold your peace..." The preacher reads. For a few seconds, there is silence. Then, all of a sudden, the church doors fly open. "I object." A deep voice booms. I look at the door to see Kyle Drake, Gwendolyn's high school sweet heart... His once "to die for" green eyes are blood shot. His usually cleanly shaven face is scruffy and dirty, and his hair is longer and messy.
He reaches in his back pockets, pulling out two pistols. I feel my stomach drop and the blood drain from my face.

"Sir this is church, you shouldn't have guns." The preacher says. Shut the fuck up!!

Kyle brings up one of the guns, aiming it at the preacher's face. Before can anyone can react, the trigger is pulled and the bullet flies through his skull. The man falls down dead. Everyone stands, running and screaming. I run and hide behind a pew. Kyle shoots wildly, but he manages to hit someone with every shot. I curl up, crying silently.

Please God... if you can hear me... please help us...
