~Scarlett's POV~

   "Miss Scarlett." Someone said waking me slightly from the nightmare that seemed to be so real. "I'll be up in a second mom.." I mumbled into my pillow not wanting to get up but then again not wanting those nightmares to come back. "Madame I beg of you to please awake, for if not King Greg will have at it." This lady spoke once more, but a bit more urgency in her tone. I sat up as I realized something scary, it was never a nightmare... or if it was im living a livid dream that I would love to leave. "I'm up madame. No worries hurry along and I will get ready." I spoke to the lady who I noticed to not be inside the room but outside the door. "No m'lady, you haven't understood. Today is the big day and I was assigned to help you get yourself prepared." She said once more, all calmness replaced with urgency. Today?! The Big Day?! Oh gosh I need a breather. "Come on inside mam'." I said a bit shakily. How did it get here so soon? "Could you please stand up so I could examine where to start m'lady?" She asked setting down what looked like supplies. I stood up for her and let her walk around me examining me. All of a sudden she bent down and lifted my night gown to see my legs. "Oh no, no, no. This will definitely not do." She said but I would like to think it was a thought that she meant for her own ears only.

   "Mam please stay still! I do not wish to hurt you! I would just like to wax your legs!" Exclaimed the woman who had been with me the past hour.  First she starts all nice then BAM! I was currently in some type of white corset with some clips haning from the legs, which is why she 'needed to shave my legs' so she could add the tights and the garter on them. "No! You are going to place tights why would I need to wax my legs?" I asked incredulously still keeping distance by staying on one side of the bed. "Please mam', just.. lets make this quick and get it done for." She sighed and I felt a ping of guilt. She didn't volunteer to do this Scarlett, I thought. No, but neither did I. Was I literally arguing with myself right now? Yes but unlike her you have a kingdom to recue from doom, oh and watch out. Thats true but watch out? For what? I was interrupted by excruciating pain and heat. "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

~~~♢♡♢~~~

   "And.... Finished! Oh my! Such a bride you'll be!" Margaret said. I had learned to know that this was her name after she finished waxing my legs, which was very painful. If only she knew the disasters that might occur today. "Alright well, you should stay in here for its bad luck if the groom and the bride were to see each other. "Yes Margaret. " I spoke looking at myself in the mirror. My dress flowed down and puffed out but dragged behind me. My hair was put up to the back and pinned with a few flowers added to it. My make up was in my opinion extravagant with black eyeliner and a bit of gold glitter eyeliner too then a bit of smokey eyeshadow. My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a knock at the door.

   "Knock knock! " A voice that I recognized as Louis said. "Who's there?" I played along smiling. "Not a time to play." Liam's voice responded and I knew he was right but I just wanted to lighten the mood. Guess not. I sighed and stood to open the door for them. "Such a fun sucker..." I heard Louis say before I opened the door. "Is that even a thing?" I asked before Liam could scold Louis for saying that. The four boys turned and looked at me amazed. "You look beautiful Scarlett. " Liam said but sadnessin his eyes. And I knew why, I looked all pretty for a disastrous wedding. I smiled nonetheless. "Thank you Liam. Come in boys." I invited them in. Right when I was going to close the door I saw him. King Greg. He might have not seen me but I saw him, that gave me the go to know whatever the result of today were to be, they were going to be no good.

~~~♢♡♢~~~

   "You guys know what to do. And no matter what happens to me promise me that you'll rescue my people and parents and my little Mel." I told the boys as we finished reviewing the plans for later. They all nodded sadness in their eyes but something in Zayn's eyes. I didn't question it because the minute it flashed it was gone. "We promise but promise us you will be okay?" Harry said sadness dripping from his tone. I felt some tears prick my eyes and gather but I refused to let them stain my face. I knew I couldn't promise this, but I still did to reassure them and myself. Maybe, just maybe I would be ok. "Dont cry babe. We'll all be fine and before you know it you a Nialler boy will be making us uncles." Louis winked obviously lighting the mood. I giggled and could feel the heat travel up to my cheeks. The other boys laughed at my embarrassment but hugged me. I couldn't help but feel that this was a goodbye hug.

   "Are you ready madame? " Margaret asked me as we all gathered ready to enter the chapel. I smiled encouraging myself and her. She smiled back and nodded to herself then walked in the chapel. She probably went to see if everyone was ready in there too. I played with the golden bouquet in my hands. "You'll be ok." Whispered Zayn from next to me. They had allowed him to walk me down the alley. I honestly thought it would be Niall who would have to do that. No you hoped he would walk you down because you love him. My consciousness said to me and I had to internally agree because I did hope he would. "Thanks Zayn." I smiled gratefully at him. He smiled back and then looked ahead as did I. The music started to play slowly with the violins then joined in bass and harps. This was it. The doors opened and it started. I hope everything goes right. I saw Mel, my flower girl, start to walk and throw red and black rose petals. I walked behind her with Zayn taking slow steady steps. I looked ahead but I didn't meet his eyes, never. I focused on the dropping of the petals.  Red and black. Someone is to live, someone is to die...
