Chapter 7: strange man

I wake up hours later, sitting in a chair. Hands tied behind it. I quickly notice a veil covering my face. Making it itch terribly. I was yet again in that dress, there's a slit in the side. Revealing me wearing some stockings that are connected to lingerie via a garter.
Some low heels that look really poorly made.
My stomach hurts a lot, I'm starving. If I didn't rest, eat or just get something I'd maybe die. But that was, surprisingly, not my worse concern.

Ceremony music starts splaying in the back, trough that old radio. I look around me and what I can see trough the lace of the vail is a lot of chairs. Some bodies on them looking like audiences. I try to get up but almost fall off the chair while trying.
Someone next to me. Looking like a variant unties, puts a bouquet in my hands and yanks me up by my arm. "Just.. go..." he whispers and pushes me to the what looks like a altar.

I look around in fear, what...
What is going on,
He's marrying you!
A voice yells at me in my head. I slap the side of my head and the voice shuts up.
Run... I have to run...
But I stood frozen in my shoes. I couldn't move, just think about what I could do.
...
Then I ran... I drop the flowers and push myself out of the way. Gluskin coming after me. I push away a big obstacle in my way but get yanked back by my vail by Gluskin. Ripping some patched of hair with it....
...
Stop thinking!
I snap out of my mind. I still stand there, to scared to  move.  The music intensifies and in the light that shines from the door opening. A silhouette appears into light. It's Gluskin.
As he slowly approaches, a big smiles appears on his face looking at me. I can barely stand on my legs that's how weak I feel.
"Darling you look stunning..." he says as he walks and stands in front of me. I look down, avoiding eye contact. A variant stands there like a damn priest. This shit is absolutely crazy.

"I do" he says, holding my hands. "So soft..." he whispers while rubbing them. "And you??" The man asks me. I raise an eyebrow. "Do you take Gluskin?" I stare at the man and then at Eddie. I swallow a big pill and keep quiet. "Why won't you talk..." Gluskin talks while biting his jaws on each other. "....you slut..." he's losing his temper.

It all happens quick.
Gluskin grabs a fist full of my hair, pulling me down on my knees. My eyes shed tears and I whimper. "Say it.."
I nod. But Thats not enough. "Speak..."
"..."
"Speak! Say it! Say you love me! Say you want me!"
Where did his caring personality go. I didn't want to speak... I haven't spoken in years... now I am forced or I might die... maybe I should die.
You should! Just say yes. Or don't just let him rip your hair out!
".......yes..." I whisper so soft it's almost not hearable.
But it's enough for him. He loses his grip on my hair and pulls me up. "...you know the deal" the variant takes off running for his life. "Darling... you make me so happy..." he lifts up the vail and violently kisses me. Tears run down my cheeks but he don't care.

"I want a family, a legacy. To be the father I never had. I'll never let anything happen to our children. Not like...never mind..."
He slurs me to a room, I stumble behind him.
As he throws me into the room. "The wedding night...." he locks the door behind him.
I rub my eyes tiredly and just let it go at this point. I slide out of the dress and his jaw drops.
"Y..you..."
I frown. What does he mean?
He points at my bra.
"You....Thats the reason you're so..."
He didn't know I'm a woman. A female.
"That can't be possible...."
He hasn't realized yet....
he drops the knife he wanted to make me a women with.
He looks at me and then a smirk appears on his face.
"I'll fill you up..." his eyes go dark. Oh god.

Crack.

Saved by a crack...

Gluskin got distracted and walked out of the room. Closing and locking it behind him. I'm saved from what could have been horrible.
Even if it's quiet in this room, even small sounds sound loud.
Suddenly a loud dull sound shakes me up. I look above me and the air vent moves.
Someone's there... oh god...
I look at it and put my knees up my chest. Then the air vent drop the the ground with a man in it. His legs sticking out. Lying there... not moving.
