Emma

Chapter Forty

{ NOT EDITED }

The orchestra started to play their instruments. I was surprisingly calm. Well, of course I would be fine, I kind of got the drift of large crowds and having everyone's attention directed to me. I think?

I stifled a laugh as I remembered this morning's events.

*flashback*

"Get up now!"

It was faint, but who the heck is disturbing me at this moment?

I felt some cold liquid splash on me. What the- I rolled over to slap whoever did that but I was met face to face with the floor. I groaned as I rubbed my forehead. I opened my eyes slowly to met my attacker, Annah, this girl needs to learn how to politely wake people up.

The spot where I knocked my head really hurt. I hope this doesn't swell, I don't want to look ugly on my wedding day - hold up, MY WEDDING DAY!!! It is today! Crap!

I shot up quickly, running to the bathroom, I tripped on something. I don't know what but this is just not my day.

Annah helped me up, "Up, up! You already woke up late. And I don't think we want a bruised up, late bride at her own wedding now, would we?"

"Nope."

"That was what I thought, now hurry up, get in that shower, fast! Hurry!" Annah hurried me into the bathroom. Gosh, she doesn't know how to be polite.

I got up extremely late, and right now I was starting to worry because I don't know if I will be able to finish everything in these few hours, which is only two hours until the wedding start. Uggg, why did I have to be such a heavy sleeper?!

Almost two hours later, I was ready. Already dressed, make up done, hair done. I can't believe that person looking back at me in that mirror is me. I look unbelievably beautiful, I look different. Completely transformed.

The make up was light but it enhanced my features more. The dress fitted perfectly. Everything was perfect, even though I woke up late and had a few accidents, thankful that no part of my body swelled due to the falls. Thankfully.

*End of flashback*

It was my turn to walk through those huge doors. I had my hand hooked with Mr. Edwards, my step father. He treated me like his daughter, so I was thankful to him that he offered to walk me down the isle since my real father was not here.

Well, it's good though.

"Ready?"

I looked towards, my step father, I nodded. Ready as I'll ever be.

As we entered through the door, everyone's attention was directed our way, okay now I might slightly be a little nervous. So many people looking at me. I thought wrong earlier. I was going over in my mind, 'Don't trip and fall, don't trip and fall,' over and over. I gave a little smile. I could feel my hands becoming clammy.

I directed my attention to where my sexy ass husband-to-be stood. He was on fleek in his suit. I noticed that his attention was also directed to me, with the huge grin on his face. That was enough to boost my confidence levels.

My step father guided me to the alter, where he handed me over to Antonio and I stood opposite him.

This ceremony was not like any other.

There was not priest.

Antonio's father conducted the ceremony.

This was no church.

We were in a huge hall.

We did a blood bonding ceremony.

Yep, our wrists were cut and our blood was fused together. Yes, a vampire and a human. I was aware that there were vampires there, but they have control when around human blood, which I'm thankful for.

Our vows were made up on our own. No, they weren't those cheesy lines, they were deep heart felt words.

We did the exchange of rings and signed the marriage papers.

Everything went as per plan, everything was perfect.

When the words, 'I now pronounce you, man and wife. You may kiss the Bride,' Antonio was all too happy and excited for the kiss.

It was a short, yet tender and loving kiss which I also must say, I enjoyed just as much as Antonio did.

"I love you," he mumbled against my lips as we pulled apart, I just had a goofy grin plastered on my face.

We walked out of the room/hall hand in hand now as a newly wedded couple. Husband and Wife.

"I love you too, Ant," I whispered into his ear as we existed, Antonio shook his head in dismay that I called him 'Ant' I kind of actually did it on purpose.

"I love you more, Em."

*Six months later*

"I don't know if I can do this," I mumbled as Annah pushed me up the stairs to the stage.

It was the coronation day. I was going to become the Queen along side Antonio, who would be the next King of the Vampires.

I wore a dress specifically made for me, it started with black at the top and ended in red, out into a bunch of waves at the bottom touching the floor. It kind of had that fiery look, which I loved.

Yes, I was transformed into a vampire by Antonio. I finally agreed to it three months ago. But I must say it took some really great persuasions from Antonio. He finally got through to me though by explaining how he needed me by his side always and forever. Saying that as a human, at some point I would die and leave him, etcetera, etcetera ...

"I would like to introduced to you, Emma Anderson Antonio Enzo Bernard Valerio James Collins. Our next Queen."

I stepped onto the platform and applauses were heard, thankfully my nerves have calmed down.

I stood next to Antonio as the man speaking talked about when Antonio's father, Antonio and his mother, Emily, reigned.

After for what seemed like hours, he finally concluded his speech, and I was more that elated.

Soon after, Antonio and I swore to protect the citizens of the Vampire world and made other oaths. Then, the crowns were transferred from the pervious King and Queen to Antonio and I.

"Welcome your new King and Queen," the man's cheery voice bloomed as applauses were made to a deafening sound, considering that I now have advanced hearing.

Antonio had one of his hand around my waist and the other waving to the crowd. I followed suit and waved at the crowd, the way a Queen was supposed to with huge smile plastered on my face. Antonio turned his attention to me and likewise I turned my attention to him too.

He shook his head, "Emma."
