The Red Church

_- Chapter 1 -_

??? P.O.V

"My dear, you don't want to be late for your special day do you?" A voice said.

"Just a second." I replied.

I finished putting on my make-up and left the room seeing my friend Elizabeth stood outside the door.

"The ceremony is about to start, don't want to keep people waiting." Elizabeth smiled.

I nodded and started to walk down the hall to the room where the wedding was being held.

I sure hope I don't mess this up.

Elizabeth's P.O.V

I hope she is alright, she looks ever so worried, then again it is her wedding day.

I decided to go the other way to where she was heading and made my way to the garden area.

The sun had just set and it was a beautiful night, the wedding wasn't meant to start for a while so I had time to myself.

"Didn't think you would be out here."

I turned around and saw my brother Max stood with his arms folded a calm look on his face.

"I didn't think you would be here yourself, weren't you busy with something?" I asked.

"I have time to myself for a bit." He responded.

"Hmm." I muttered.

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing."

"You said 'Hmm' it must mean something, right?"

I shrugged my shoulders and briskly walked past him, the ceremony was about to start.

-~-~-

It was quite crowded as people shuffled past eachother into their seats, hoping to get a good sight of the bride.

The wedding went on as you would expect.

And then the bride was to arrive, but she wasn't walking down the aisle like we practiced.

'She is probably late, nothing to worry about'

But as time dragged on, worry got the better of me.

I got out of my seat and went to check the dressing rooms.

I creaked open the door only to find nothing, everything was left perfectly in place.

I went back into the main room and told everybody she wasn't there.

First it was silent, then people got up and rushed around the building to see who can find her.

I decided to look outside near the gravestones. Alas no luck prevailed.

The only thing I found was a large trapdoor on the floor with a strip of cloth strewn over it.

In red letters it read: 'Not a dungeon'

We spent the entire day searching but nobody could find her not even the police.

It was getting to dark we had to head home.

-~-~-

As I wandered along the dirt track with Max beside me I wondered what the bride would be doing.

"Games" I muttered.

"Eh?" Max asked, clearly confused.

"It's what we used to play as children."

"So what did you play?"

"Hide and Seek."

"Ah, so you're linking things up."

"...."

We walked in silence after that. It was strange she just disappeared..
