Chapter 3 - Not As Planned

Cosette's POV

None of he band showed up for the wedding. I felt so offended I started to cry. I dropped when I felt a warm hand on my shoulder, and I looked up to see Justin.
"Why are you crying?"
"Because I wanted the band to come."
"Screw the band. Everything is falling apart there. Why cling onto something that isn't there anymore."
"Dont say that, well figure something out..."
"Cosette, let's be real here. Everyone in the band is in danger right now. You need to calm down."
I sighed.
"You know what, I think you're right. It's time for me to move on. Besides, now that I've got out its one o live my life!"
"I was hoping you'd say that because I have a surprise for you."
"Yeah?"
"I bought us a mansion in London. It is so beautiful and it has a designer's work shop built in. I also got you a private jet to fly you to work in Paris everyday. We dont need the money but I know designing is something toy really enjoy-"
As soon as he said those words I wrapped my arms around him. I smiled, but when I turned back I saw Justin frown. He didn't seem to be himself today. Something wasnt right...
As we stood up hand in hand next to the priest, he said that we would exchange our "I do"s.
"I do."
My words were strong and clear. I looked into Justin's eyes and I saw the sparkle dim.
"No. This can't be happening. NO!"
As Justin ran from the scene, my mouth opened in shock. What scared him so much he had been off on our wedding day? I looked behind me to see a pitch black figure standing in the shadows of the forest. Its eyes glinted a deep red and then it disappeared. Terrified, I ran up to reception.
"What's going on? Where's Justin?"
"He disappeared."
"What?!"
"He's gone, Cosette. He. Is. Gone."
My eyes widened with shock as the receptions eyes flashed red.
"Why so sad? Come on Cosette, show some happiness. After all it is your wedding day."
