      We continued down the road to the restaurant. I braked the car to a stop in front of Gustauce. Kilee was already out of the car before I touched my seatbelt. Satan reached over and squeezed my hand, "It's gonna be ok, I won't let her get to us" he said softly. I climbed out of the car and rejoined our hands. We entered the restaurant and I looked around.
    My eyes didn't want to take in the beautiful sight of the diner, no, they were searching for Kilee. I broke apart from Satan but looked back to see his face. It was soft, hurt, like I did something to him. I focused my eyes back to my track. I bumped into Kilee and fell to the ground. She just looked at me and walked away. I looked at her, with disbelief. I got up and walked over to Satan." I really need to get a opinion on this marriage, is it ok if I text my best friend and get her opinion? "I asked him nervously." Yeah, I would love to have someone else's view other than my parents' " he told me.
     I drew my phone out of my pocket and started texting Serena Kulcha
Me: wazzup!!!! hey I am getting married to my fiancé in 2 days and we need a second opinion on the situation 😶 - yo best friend.
Serena: WHAT!?!? why didn't you tell me you were getting married, why!?!? I think that you guys...wait shouldn't I get to know him? ✌ 💞 - yo best friend.
Me: I guess. I live in my parents house, by the way I have 2 tell u something while ur here - yo best friend.
Serena: r u going 2 tell me that they r dead?! - yo best friend.
Me: eh - yo best friend.
   I turned off my phone and slid it back in my pocket. I glanced around and didn't see any Satan or Kilee. I started to panic, I was panting. I noticed something else, everyone was completely still, frozen. Someone came behind me and bent my head back to cover up my mouth. Muffled screams came from the cloth then faded. Everything went black and I heard a thud. Pain generated from my head and back.
    Satan, where did he go?Why isn't he here? Can't he see through his mind that I'm kidnapped? I thought. Questions kept flooding my mind as I struggled but to my surprise I could move freely. I fiddled with the cloth and uncovered my head(I forgot to mention that she had a cloth put over her head😶). I pulled out my phone and texted Satan.
Me: Satan I'm kidnapped!! Where are you, can't you see me? Or where I am!?! - yo sexy wife
Satan: what do you mean ' you're kidnapped '? - yo sexy man
Me: I mean I am being held hostage if you don't know what hostage means I can tell you that too - yo sexy wife
    I never got a reply. I sighed and walked around, I felt for a door or something that could let me out. I heard something on the opposite side of me open. Someone came in and I threw a punch. To my surprise the figure caught it and threw me across the room. The land knocked the air out of me. I held back a scream, but completely failed. It was as high as a dog whistle.
    "Listen, you have tortured me enough for me to know that you  and Satan have something beautiful. I need that in my life, I need a woman who loves me! Kilee didn't like my plotting, she didn't appreciate the fact that I did it for us" the Devil said." Maybe she didn't like it because you cared too much about other things and not what was important, your son"I said irratated. I got up and ran against the walls to find a light switch. The Devil found it first and as soon as the light came on I was face to face with him.
     "Goodbye" he said with a grin then he disappeared. I flashed back into the real world next to Satan."Honey"he was snapping his fingers in front of my face."Honey I think I may have figured out why the Devil hates us, correction, me"I told him. His face went from irratated to intrigued."He needs someone who actually appreciates him, plotting and everything"I said looking right into his eyes. Suddenly, the ground started shaking violently.
     Everyone dispersed when they saw the one and only Devil. He just stared at me. Kilee came in behind him, a smile placed on her graceful face." Well, someone my understands anger, my great frustration, my need to plot. I needed someone who didn't like what happens to them, so, I chose you"he finished, pointing a finger at me."Uhh, Satan and I have to be somewhere for our wedding, sooo "I rocked back and forth on my heels.
    "Oh! One more thing" he kept a long silence then spoke as he put his arm around Kilee "We are having another child". I was in MASSIVE shock as Satan pulled me outside and into the car. My mind was trying to focus on the wedding but kept coming back to the Devil's words, we are having another child. Maybe he wanted another chance to prove he can change, no, the Devil would not ever change his ways or his mind.
     I snapped back into the real world and asked Satan "Why do you think that they decided to have a kid"? "Maybe he wanted to renew himself, his trust in Kilee" he said in a soft voice."I already considered that, he would never change his actions, would he?" I told him.  Was I doubting him? I thought that about a million times before I came to an answer. NO. We finally arrived at our destination, the Serenade of Love. I rushed out of the car and ran to my dressing room, where makeup artists and dressers crowded me, trying - desperately - to get me ready. My eyes drooped but I tried to stay up. I slept while standing and they continued to get me ready. I was shrugged awake and told I needed to walk down the aisle in a few minutes.
     I took deep breaths and prepared my dress, I ruffled it, as soon as I did that I saw Gabriel. I walked over to him slowly, remembering what happened, not so long ago. We walked down the aisle and he whispered something to me " You are so d*mn lucky I am walking you down the aisle right now ". I shook of the comment and continued walking. I soon met Satan at the top of the stairs.
    " Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God, and in the face of this company, to join together this Man and Woman in Holy Matrimony; which is an honourable estate, instituted of God, signifying unto us the mystical union that is betwixt Christ and his church: which holy estate Christ adorned and beautified with his presence and for miracle that he wrought in Cana of Galilee, and is commended of Saint Paul to be honourable among all men: and therefore is not by any to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly; but reverently, discretely, advisedly, soberly, and in the fear of God. Into thus holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined. If any man can how just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace. Also speaking unto the Persons who are to be married, he shall say, I REQUIRE and charge you both, as ye will answer at the dreadful day of judgement when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, that if either of you know any impendent, why ye may not be lawfully joined together in Matrimony, ye do confess it. For be ye well assured, that if any persons are joined together other than as God's Word both allow, their marriage is not lawful. The Minister, if he shall have reason to doubt of the lawfulness of the proposed Marriage, may demand sufficient surety for his indemnification: but if no impendent shall be alleged, or suspected, John,( john is Satan's real name)wilt thou have this Woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour,and keep her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live"?
      John answers" I do". He grows a grin. The minister starts to talk again"Alena wilt thou have this Man to thy wedded husband, to  live together after ordinance in holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love him, comfort him, honour, and keep him in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live"? I took a deep breath before answering "I do". Then he continued" Who giveth this Woman to be married this Man? End shall they give their troth to each other in this manner. John repeated after the priest " I John take thee Alena to my wedded Wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for  better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death to we part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth". I started to speak " I Alena take John to my wedded Husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do we part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I give thee my troth". John handed me the ring he bought. It was a 30k diamond, with a silver band. He slid it on my ring finger, on my left hand.
   "With this ring I thee wed: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen" John said softly, but loud enough to where everyone could hear. The minister speaks again" Bless, O Lord, this Ring, that he who gives it and she who wears it may abide in thy peace, and continue in they favour, unto their life's end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen". I gave him the ring I bought him, a 30k diamond band. The minister stared for a few heavy moments and spoke" Let us pray. OUR Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. O ETERNAL God, Creator and Preserver of all mankind, Giver of all spiritual grace, the Author of the everlasting life; Send thy blessing upon these thy servants, this Man and this Woman, whom we bless in thy Name; that they, living faithfully together, may surely perform and keep the vow and covenant betwixt them made, and may ever remain in perfect love and peace together, and live according to thy laws; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen"he finished looking at my dress.
     It was a white laced dress, it went all the way to the floor. It was also a v neck. The minister joined our together and kept speaking"Those whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder. Forasmuch as John and Alena have consented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before God and this company, and thereto have given and pledged their troth, each to other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving a Ring, and by joining hands; I pronounce that that they are Man and Wife, In the Name of the Father, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen"he finished as we kneeled and spoke again. "GOD the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost, bless, preserve, and keep you; the Lord mercifully with his favour look upon you, and fill you with all spiritual benediction and grace; that ye may so live together in this life, that in the world to come ye may have life everlasting. Amen" he finally actually finished.
    "You may kiss the bride" was his final sentence. John eagerly kissed me and I replied with the same eagerness. Everyone stood up and applauded us. Some even cheered. We stopped and looked at everyone. All of the girls gathered in the aisle to catch my bouquet. I turned around and threw it. When I looked back I saw my best friend had it. Serena ran up to me and squeezed me." You came! I didn't see you!"I squealed." I have been her the whole time, you were just to engaged in your love for John"she laughed.
