Chapter 25

  Right when it seems like my sister is getting married, turns out i might be the bride. Cliff went on his knees and handed me a blue feather. Where i come from, handing someone a blue feather is a sign for marriage. I didn't know what to do.. or how to react. It felt as if time stopped for the two of us.

  "Will you marry me..." Cliff said in a quiet and soft voice.

  Considering all the unexpected mishaps i been in i didnt know what situation would be the most easiest to handle. But at this moment.. this one might be the hardest. I stood next to Cliff and started to tear up... with out thinking. i just had to say yes.

  Next thing you know the harvest goddess appears and yells the word "congratulations" out loud. As nervous as Cliff was already, he trembled from seeing a lady in the lake that screamed like a animal. Im the only one who ever seen her so this must be a shock for Cliff.

  The harvest goddess was so excited while me and Cliff were a little frightened..

The goddess then noticed the awkward situation she put her self in and returned back into the lake, without saying another word. But i had to admit, i did giggle a little when the goddess turned a little red from  embarrassment.

   Cliff then let out his excitement by hugging me and swinging me into the air. I felt the excitment he felt, but then again i felt pale in the inside. Then he gave me a passionate kiss then started to speak.

  "Oh Claire im so happy.. thank you..i dont mean to plan ahead but.. we should get married really soon.i cant wait that long now..."

  In my mind i was wondering if i was actually pale..

  "Yea thats perfect.. dont mind that lady though. Shes a friend of mine.. and well i  think i have to get back home.. but i love you and il see you later.."

  "I love you too. Im gonna start planning right away..maybe we can combine a wedding with your sister, it will save time!" he said yelling back.

  Thinking in my mind all thats been happening, i did think of the great thought on how it would feel to be a wife

How great would that be??

That evening

  I arived home a little shocked. Right after i get the advice i needed to get, i wont even be able to use it. I think its about time i make up my mind... i think i should forget about Gray and stay with Cliff. I love him, and he loves me. It will just be better this way. I think Gray and Jill will be so happy together anyway.

  It was still cold outside, but was slowly turning back to spring. I went back outside and started walking back to the goddess pond. I think in a time like this, it seems as if she could help me, like a mother would.

   The wind was freezing and i felt the cold in the hands of my gloves. I felt the frost bite start to get to me, so i sat down. Unable to move, i waited..

  I heard footsteps in the snow. I was just waiting for someone to come see me or get me. But before they did...i let that cold get to me, and i passed out.

  "Claire.. you silly girl..what were thinking.." The mysterious voice said

  I was picked up, and carried away.
