I awake to the sound of shuffling, chatting, and mumbling. My eyes tear open as I look around the busy room. I was in a plain white room, maids shuffling here and there, clothes of every sort being carried. A maid notices my being awake, she smiles reassuringly "good, your awake" she said in a cheery voice, motioning for me to get out the bed. I follow, my head pounding inside out. She makes me stand on a stool in front of a mirror. A maid takes my measurement, my mind was too foggy to even catch on to what was happening and instead went into hurting like hell mode. I was forced into an elegant burgandy body-hugging dress, black silk gloves that touched my elbows were put on before I was sat in a chair. They started working on my hair and make up at the same time. Plucking here, Pulling there, Fluffing wherever. I was faced to a mirror, my cheeks were now rosy, my lips full and red. My brown hair in a elegant bun, my lashes were now long and thicke. They placed a diamond necklace around my neck before handing me a bouquet of odd black roses. Didn't know it was possible but ok. They all rush me down a long corridor, doing last minute touch up to my form. "Ok, hun, your ready"
"for what exactly?" they didn't answer, instead they open a door. There sat rows and rows of people I didn't know. What happened last night?, I stare straight ahead, walking as if my body had a mind of its own. It then caught up with me; this was a wedding. How could I be so stupid and not notice this before?, I mentally slap myself. The people stared at me as I passed, something seemed...off about them all. The way they sat and their out of this world beauty. How did I end up here? I thought back for a second. I only remember leaving the club with no ride then from there on everything is foggy. I reach the alter, internally freaking out, I wasn't paying attention to what the person was saying. I was busy thinking about how if I never went out, I wouldn't be here. I would be home, laughing with Kacy in the mall. I now stood here getting married to a complete stranger, whom I'm sure isn't happy about this neither.
"Katherine Lyric Spencer... do you take Cameron Kingston to be your lawfully wedded husband?" I spoke before I could stop myself.
"i do"
"repeat after me" he pauses. "insert name here, I take you to be my husband from this time onward" he waits for me.
"Cameron, I take you to be my husband from this time onward" god, this is heart retching.
"To join with you and to share all that is to come, to be your faithful wife"
"to join with you and to share all that is to come, to be your faithful wife" eyes burned into my back making me feel beyond unconfortable. What were these peoples problems with glaring?.
"to give and to recieve" he pauses.
"to give and to recieve"
"to speak and to learn, to inspire and to respond"
"to speak and to learn, to inspire and to respond" I repeat, growing even more uncomfortable as the time passes.
"a commitment made in love, kept in faith, and eternally made new" I almost choked at that. Love? I think not. I don't even know this man and yet i'm marrying him. Love? forget about it buddy. And yet I still repeat it.
"a commitment made in love, kept in faith, and eternally made new" I scold myself. He turns to the man, taking in a deep breath.
"repeat" he says. "I cameron, take you, Katherine, to be my wedded wife. To have and to hold, from this dat foward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and cherish 'till death do us part. And hereto I pledge you my faithfullness" I felt kind of offended as he didnt have to stop and wait for me to repeat.
"I cameron, take you, Katherine, to be my wedded wife. To have and to hold, from this dat foward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and cherish 'till death do us part. And hereto I pledge you my faithfullness" a little kid walks up with rings on a pillow, how cute. We exchange rings throughout his whole next speak-boring.
"may these rings be blessed as the symbol of this affectionate unity. These two lives are now joined in one unbroken circle. Wherever they go-may they always return to one another. May these two find in eachother the love for which all men and women year. May they grow in understanding and in compassion." I doubt it. "you are now joined as husband and wife" there of course was clapping, all that crap. Turns out we weren't having a celebration party, but going straight on our 'honeymoon'. This should be terribly fun. Hence the sarcasm. I climb into the limo, staring out the window. He climbs in after me, the limo is bathed in silence. Did I mention how cute he was? short black hair with a bang, gray eyes with natural dark liner, somewhat pale skin, and buff. The silence becomes awkward before he finally speaks.
"it was arranged" I snap my head from the window, staring at him.
"seriously?"
"not to hot about it neither sweetheart" asshole much?.
"I didn't even...Nevermind. Who are you?"
"does it matter?"
"well yea. I think I would like to know who i'm dealing with, a complete asshole or a complete egotistic jerk"
"put them both together and you've got me. Just add a lot more mean ness"
"jerk+ego problems+asshole+a whole pot of mean=me being scared." a slow smirk crosses his face.
"bingo"
"lord give me strength."
"you'll need alot of it." is it me or did that sound a bit on the wrong side?.
"pedo" I mumble. "anything else I should be worried about?"
"meaning that i'm a prince?"
"a what?!"
"A. Prince." he says slowly.
"but if that means your as- then the marriage- and me-your a king?"
"yep"
"and i'm a demsil in distress. Not a cinderalla story at all" I groan. "its like a cinderalla story gone horribly wrong"
"im a vampire girly"
"and he's a vampire. Can this get any worst?" I huff. "your lying right?"
"does it look like it?"
"god, and I thought those cliche vampire books were harsh."
"those are obviously fake"
"no dip." I huff. "wait a damn minute!" I point a finger at him "I know for a fact that one thing in those books are true"
"what's that?"
"this isn't a damn twilght movie, where edward falls for bella and they have a kid and all that stuff. I know for a fact, even in history-it never changed."
"get to the point"
"vampires hate humans!"
"nice observation"
"im serious. The author of twilight fucked up my life, sparkly vampires, vampires falling for humans. Its all fake....but this is reality. I'm gonna die!" I was now covered with fear.
"who says?"
"only history!"
"girly, things change"
"like what? i'm not gonna be a slave"
"your being rediculous"
"no....there's 3 types of vamps. The totally nice ones, the jerk ones, and the...."
"the....."
"cruel ones" he didn't answer.
"which one am I?" was that a trick question?. He smirks at me evilly,
"I think I have a clue." I press my body against the seat.
"this should be loads of fun" I sensed the sarcasm.
"i dont appreciate the sarcasm. Better yet I hate sarcasm."
"oh well"
"Im too young to die!" I'm stuck to a cruel vampire for a husband.
"your not gonna-" I start hyperventalating.
"I'm stuck with a person I thought was human but turns out to be a fucking cruel vampire Prince. Why did I ever go to that club with my idiot of a best friend?" his smirk grows, he was enjoying my fear!. Lord, help me!.
