Enchanted~ A Winterwatcher Fanfic

{4} Crashed

Winter had never been so intensely nervous before. He was getting married to Moon, the love of his life, at last. He thought about her as he stood at the altar, patiently waiting.

Moon was getting ready. She had a nice dress on, and was wearing a tiara for the looks of it.

When she walked down the aisle, she saw her friends, her mother, and their old clawmates and academy-goers sitting, watching. Half of them were crying, a quarter smiling and watching, and a quarter straight-up sobbing their eyes out. Thoughts floated around...

She's getting married! Moons, I'm so excited! Kinkajou squealed.

This wedding makes me think about proposing. Turtle thought.

I can't believe she's grown so much. Secretkeeper.

I simply can't wait for this to begin... She didn't know who that was because an audible gasp flew through the room as everyone saw Moon walking down the aisle.

Winter's mouth fell into an "O".

Moons, I'm so nervous. And happy.

"Do you, Winter, take Moon as your wife?"

"I do." He said, his eyes never leaving Moon.

"And do you, Moon, take Winter as your husband?"

"I do."

"You may kiss the br-"

He gets cut off.

"YOU MAY NOT, WINTER!" Shrieked a maniacal voice the two of them knew way too well.

"Qibli!" Moon cries. "Stop this madness!"

"Never!" The SandWing leapt from nowhere, and was suddenly pressing a blade to her about-to-be-husband's throat. The NightWing noticed a sickening scar on his underbelly, from frost and wounds.

Havoc broke out. Dragons screamed, ran, and flew in all directions. Qibli's eyes darted around, loving the chaos. He swiftly knocked Winter out with his tail, leaving Moon at his side, and threw chakrams and knives at unsuspecting dragons. His blades met Turtle's wing, Umber's leg, and barely skimmed Secretkeeper's tail, causing Moon to scream.

"Run, run, run away!" He said happily.

He's completely insane.

"Run, rabbit. Run, rabbit. Run, run, run!" He sang

Winter stirred. Noticing this, Moon shook him. "Wake up," She breathed.

"Ooh, Moon, no thank you." Qibli grabs her wrist and yanks her towards him. "I still have that control spell on you, dear."

"No... you don't." Winter said, still hazy. "Mirage."

"Got rid of the love spell!" Cackled the SandWing. (Cackled seems right and wrong, I kind of hate that word.)

"Wait... no..."

"Too late!" Qibli cried. "Let's go... I need to punish you two for getting me in with Thorn's dungeon for a bit! Alas, I'm free again..."

"Don't do this." Moon pleaded.

"Ohh, but I must! If I break free what am I to do except for punish you?"

"They'll find you again. They'll kill you." Winter said.

"Maybe." Qibli smiled eerily. "But I'll kill you first, at least."
