Pandora's Box

The Wedding

Pyrrha was overwhelmed, one morning she wakes up she finds out her father (the one she had never met) lived downstairs and he didn't even care about her. It doesn't end there though, now he's forcing her to marry a complete stranger in 15 minutes. Pyrrha wanted all of this to be a dream so she closed her eyes and hoped that when she opened them everything would be back to normal but when she closed her eyes she heard John call her.

" Pyrrha..." he paused " It's time for the ceremony."

It wasn't a dream, this was all really happening. Pyrrha was getting married.

***
There she was, walking down the aisle in front of people she didn't know but it seemed like these people thought they knew Pyrrha so well. She saw Deucalion, he smiled at her. She had a warm feeling in her heart, somehow she knew Deucalion would not be like Prometheus. That made her feel better about getting married.
The wedding was hosted inside the castle church. Not many people had come because most of them were killed by the spirits or didn't want to come out of their house because of the spirits. Pyrrha wore a white long gown with her hair loose making her auburn locks add a pop of color. She had only one pair of earrings that she had found in her mother's stuff, they were diamond earrings  and blended in perfectly with everything.
Pyrrha's head was spinning, all these thoughts went through her head as she walked closer to Deucalion and finally she was there under the bridal arch.
" Dearly beloved," The priest began, " We are gathered here today to join these to souls in holy matrimony. Ok lets begin, Do you Pyrrha take Deucalion to be your lawfully wedded husband."
"I do" Pyrrha said while crying.
" Do you Deucalion take Pyrrha to be your lawfully wedded wife."
" I do." Deucalion said nicely.
Then Pyrrha and Deucalion put the rings on each other.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife."
Everyone clapped and Deucalion smiled. Pyrrha had no idea what type of man she had just gotten married to but she would find out soon enough. They made their way to the after party as all the guests helped themselves to food and came and congratulated Pyrrha and Deucalion one by one, when Deucalion finally said something to her.
" You look gorgeous, you know that." Deucalion smiled.
Pyrrha's cheeks flushed in red, she couldn't help it. Her rosy cheeks gave all her emotions away.
" Has no one ever told you that?" Deucalion asked.
"No not really, most of my life I was trapped in a room with my paralyzed mother. I wasn't allowed to escape until I was 13 years old but I was still not allowed to come downstairs. I didn't even know there was a downstairs or I had a father until an hour ago." Pyrrha explained to him because she thought if they were going to spend the rest of their lives together he might aswell know her life story.
" Wow, must have been rough." He stoked his hand across her arm.
"Yea, it was." Pyrrha said while realized maybe Deucalion wasn't so bad after all.
She thought maybe this marriage wasn't so bad and maybe she could finally be free with Deucalion. Maybe she could have the life she wants.
" Hey, there are some people who want to meet you." Deucalion called out to Pyrrha, breaking her out of her thought.
Pyrrha nodded and started walking towards him. However, she started thinking about how she's a married woman now, she couldn't help it.
Lots of Gods and Goddesses had come to their wedding, it was like Epimetheus had been planning this for months but only thought of telling the bride 15 minutes before it started. Pyrrha had never actually thought about marriage because there was nobody there to explain the concept to her. That made her think about her mother again, like everything else she thought about did.
