The Two Faeries of legend

Chapter 38

Chapter 38- Anna's POV

It's been a week since the battle. my arm is in a sling still, the doctor said it would take a couple months to heal.

The days have been long and dreary. no one is really happy. even though we won the battle, most of our army is dead. we've been having funerals and memorials all week.

But at least there's going to be one happy thing today. my wedding.

I know, I know. it's only been a week but Faeries don't drag out engagements, they would've done it the day after the war but I stopped them. I mean we were just in a war, we need some time to prepare and clean up.

So I'm headed to my room to get bombarded by Mariah and another girl from school, Lilian. Can't wait- note the sarcasm. I mean, I'm not really that big of a girly girl- obviously. But still, I guess Mariah and Lilian need a distraction right now and I'm happy to give it to them.

Charles' POV

"Are you sure this suit looks okay? I mean...." I sigh and glance at Clarence, he gives me a look.

"Ok, ok. I get it. but I just want this to be perfect....." I sigh again, glancing at the mirror again. At first i don't recognize myself, I mean I've come a long way from the pathetic little boy running away from his problems. I don't do that anymore, I stand up to them and I'm gonna suck up to this 'perfection problem' I'm having right now.

"Well, this'll just have to do..." I smirk glancing at Clarence. he rolls his eyes.

"Just let me finish this in peace. I don't need your worrying knocking me out of concentration."

I just laugh.

Anna's POV

"Alright. we're done."

"Finally!" I open my eyes, turning my self around to check my hair and makeup.

I gasp, seeing just how beautiful they made me- even with the cut on my cheek. Mariah had pinned back the hair on the left side of my head, and towards the back, leaving the natural curls to have its way with the rest of it.

She had used pearl clips, which matched the pearls on my dress. Mariah even managed to find a white sling to put my left arm in, so it would match the dress. Speaking of the dress....

"So..... can I see the dress now? or...." I question, lifting my eyebrow to Lilian- she's the best seamstress in Faerie.

She sighs, "oh alright."

I eagerly wait on my bed while she travels to her studio to get my dress.

----------

Finally I hear a knock on the door, and when I'm about to open it Mariah stops me.

"What if it's Charles!", she whisper yells, after seeing the look I gave her.

I sigh and wave her on, signaling that she can open the door while I hide from the view of it.

"You can come out Anna. it's Lilian."

I jump right out from my hiding place, rushing towards Lilian- and trying to grab my dress.

"Now wait a minute. you can't see it until Mariah and I put it on you."

"Fine." I barely managed to get that out.

------

"Alright....you can open your eyes now."

I pop both of them open immediately, and gasp. it's just so beautiful.

The dress is made of spider web silk- the best in faerie- with pearls adorning it around the neckline. it has thick straps that stay on the sides of my shoulers. the silk makes up the whole dress, with a purple sash across my waist, and it goes all the way down to my feet. but luckily I'll be wearing high heels so I won't trip on my dress. Lilian and Mariah even put on my lacy veil.

"C'mon Anna we have a schedule to keep. now.....are you ready to get married?" Mariah asks, grabbing my train-she had managed to get in her bridesmaid dress already, which was the same color as my purple sash.

"Yes." is all I manage to get out before Lilian and Mariah push me out the door and into a carriage.

--------

(A/N: now I'm not gonna go through the whole ceremony because 1. I don't everything about weddings 2. The fey do it differently and 3. This chapter is long enough.)

"Do you Charles Ethan Middleton take the princess Annabelle Meadows of Faerie to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do."

"And do you my princess take the Charles Ethan Middleton to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"You may now kiss."

We both lean in at the same time, me getting a whiff of Charles' cologne.

The kiss is short and sweet, but it's enough.

Everyone starts to cheer, and I know this is where you say 'and they lived happily ever after' but this my story and it's not over yet. so I'm gonna end like this.

It's only the beginning......
