"Run!" I heard Dave yell as he grabbed my hand. I sighed in relief. He was alive, i almost started crying because of how emotional that was and only in a matter of seconds would've changed my life forever. Before I knew it, Dave pushed me into the limo, locking it the doors immediately. "Step on it Mike!" He told the driver as he put the screen isolating us from the driver. Mike did as told and drove as fast as he could. "What happened?!" He asked worriedly. "I-I don't know, there was a guy with a scarecrow mask and started following us. He killed someone in white. He attacked me but I was able to shoot him. I must tell my father," Dave said. I was still panting and so was Dave. He gave me a water bottle from the bar thingy. "Are you okay?" I was finally able to ask him. "Yes, probably just some little cuts and bruises. Are you?" "Yea, you really scared me there for a second." "Me too and I'm sorry that our date was ruined by we could've died and oh god." He said. He hugged me, "I'm glad we're all okay."

We arrived to the castle faster than we arrived to the forest. Dave told me to stay in my room while he talked to his dad. Me being me didn't listen and waited outside the door, behind the huge curtains that covered the gigantic window at the end of hall next to his office.
Dave's POV: I ran to my father's office, he was by himself thankfully. "Father!" I panted, still tired from all the running. "Yes my son?" "Monica and I went into the forest and we saw a man with a scarecrow mask on. He killed someone from their side, the white empire." He looked frightened, "what?!" "Yup, and he attacked me but I was able to shoot him." "You should call the whites and ask if they have a missing person. I'll send some guards to have a look tomorrow. I'm just glad you're okay," he said as he hugged me. I felt safe now, knowing that something was going to be done but also terrified that there's another human race out there that we know nothing about. My father left his office and went to go take care of the situation. I dialed their number and waited.
"Hello?" Andy asked. He was the leader of the white empire. They elected him, he was my age as well. He CHOSE to be the leader, without anyone pressuring him. The white empire was really lucky, come to think of it I wish I could've been born over there. We kept them in secret. My dad didn't want anyone from the black empire to go over there after what happened years ago. "Yes, hello Andy it's Dave. I have to tell you something important." "Lay it on me." I told him and he said that lots of people have gone missing. "I don't know who or what it could be. They're basically a different race from us since they're not in our empires," i told him. "Should we meet up soon since we're the leaders? I also haven't told anyone people have gone missing because i don't want them to worry. I've noticed." "We shall meet soon, after I get married. I'll move the date closer. I'll go to your empire within the next week. Looks like all the war strategy was put to good use." I chuckled. "Congrats on the position," i told him. "Thank you, congrats on your marriage. Hey am I invited?" He asked teasingly. We laughed. "Alright, remember to keep this in secret. See you soon Andrew." With that I put down the phone and headed to my room.
Monica's POV: Andrew? What's The White Empire? There's others like us? After Dave hung up the phone, I ran to my room. I locked myself in and slid against the door sighing. How did I not know this? Were they the enemies that only a few people talked about? I had so many questions. I wanted to do some research but then again maybe it's nothing, they could be evil for all I know. My curiosity was getting the best of me.
5 DAYS LATER
Dave's POV: "Are you ready my son?" My father asked as he helped with my tie. "As ready as I'll ever be." Today was my wedding day. I would be marrying the girl of ny dreams. I have written my vowels, and hoped they would be good enough. I told Monica she didn't have to write any since we didn't feel the same way. I was wearing a grey button up, with a black tux. I had a black bowtie, and a red rose in my shoulder pocket. My father walked and my mother accompanied me down the aisle while I waited for Monica to arrive. Everyone from the empire was here in the chapel. My best man was Mike, we were around the same age and we had managed to create a great friendship over the years before he started working for us but he was still just as great.
Monica's POV: Today was the day my life will change forever. I was going to be an unhappy marriage. Yes Dave was a great guy but I still didn't want to do this. I just thought of him as a friend. I was wearing a black dress with ruffles at the bottom. It had diamond on it, as well as in the chest area. My makeup was great, so was my hair...I just wish my mom could've been here. I sighed to myself knowing my dad would be walking me down the aisle. But Brandon would be my maid of honor, just minus the dress and being a girl.
Just as I was looking at myself in the mirror, my dad walked in with a gigantic smile. "You look beautiful my dear," he said he caressed my cheek and hugged me. I didn't hug back. "You're still mad at me aren't you?" He asked as he sighed. "What do you think?! I didn't want to do this and I STILL don't. You're just lucky Dave's a good guy. I can't believe you threatened to disown me and have me get punished for something I actually LOVE to do. The greed has really gotten to you hasn't it?!" I said as my vision blurred from the water that was forming in my eyes but I didn't dare let them fall. "This is not about the money or the luxury. I wanted what was best for you. Who knows what could've happened to you if you denied it." "I'm sure you haven't done anything to help me either." "I'm sorry okay. I'm sorry that I made you do this but you're still going through with it. You could've easily backed out or ran away but look you're still here and I think it's more than me threatening you." He kissed my cheek, "You're doing this because you care about him. I'm not saying it in a romantic way but you still care for this kid. You know I'm right." I sighed, "I guess. But thanks for being here father." "Now c'mon let's get you down that aisle.
*
We were behind the chapel doors. I looked to my father and gave me a reassuring look that everything would be okay. Run away. I couldn't though. Just then the traditional wedding music was playing and the tall doors opened. My dad tightened his grip on my arm, trying to help with my anxiety. I breathed in and out. I didn't dare look at Dave because I wasn't ready to give up my life to this, it would never be the same. I would feel trapped, suffocated. But then I looked at Brandon, he smiled causing me to the same. He always calmed me down without even trying. My body was telling me to run away but my brain told me otherwise. I didn't even notice I made to the end of the aisle until Dave took my hand. Don't do this.
My father tried letting go of me but I wouldn't let him, I couldn't do this. I couldn't give myself away. People were staring, he pretended to kiss my cheek but then he whispered into my ear, "you can do this." I nodded my head and let go. Just then the pastor started talking.
*
The whole ceremony was over and it was time for vowels then the big kiss. I was terrified. Then Dave started talking, "Monica Cruz. Wow, I love the way that your name sounds as it rolls off my tounge. For the longest time I could remember liking you. It started in kindergarten when I thought you were the prettiest girl in the entire empire. It continued to elementary when I admitted to myself that I liked you. I didn't want you knowing or thinking it was obvious so I put up this act as a jerk. It definitely worked," he chuckled and continued, "Then in middle school I was head over heels for you. Here we are now in high school, and I love you. I hope you don't think I'm moving too fast but I've felt something for you since the beginning. You make me feel high all the time. Every moment with you is a blessing. Getting to know you better has been amazing, it's all I've ever wanted. I know things weren't supposed to end up like this but it's a dream come true, seeing you in front of me just a few seconds of becoming my wife. You drive me crazy insane with love. I hope one day we'll both feel the same love for each other. You make me the happiest guy in this entire empire. The reason I'm smiling is because of you so I thank you."
I was crying. I was actually crying. No one has ever cared or loved me so much as much as Dave. I just wish I could've felt the same towards him like he did for me, it would make everything better. He saw me crying and wiped my tears from my face. Thank God, this make-up was waterproof. Then came the I do's. "David Escamilla do you take Monica Cruz as your wife?" "Is that even a question?: everyone laughed, "of course." He looked back at me and smiled. "Do you, take Dave as your husband?" "I-I um do." "You may now kiss the bride." Before I could start crying even more from really not wanting to do this. I felt Dave's lips on mine. He deepened the kiss, I kissed back, and the crowd erupted with cheers. This was it.
