Just Dreams

Rebel Girls

This dream was about a woman, in kinda the old times so there weren't any phones or cars, except of course those horse cars thingies

'I can't do this' the Bride thought in panic. 'This can't be my life, I can't live like this' she stared at her reflection and frowned. She stared at the big, flowy wedding dress. 'Why me? God, why me..' she bit her lip and curled her hands into fists, shutting her eyes tight to not cry. She took deep breaths and calmed down right before the door bursts open, an over excited elderly woman rushing in, grinning from ear to ear. 'Mother... why?'

"Oh, darling! Look at you, you're stunning! And I'm sure he'll think so too." She tried to reassure. The older woman walked forward and grabbed her daughter's hands. "Come on, the Optare Ceremony is about to begin."

At that, something in the young lady clicked. 'That's it!' she thought, 'The Optare Ceremony is the perfect escape. No one'll see I escaped.' She smiled at the thought. She's gonna be free!

The Optare Ceremony
The Optare Ceremony is done before the wedding to bless and honor the Groom. The ceremony has to be performed in a Clover Ship and everyone attending the wedding must be there, except the Bride. The Groom will be showered in holy water, be given the Sacramental Bread, drink the Blood of Christ, then send flowers to the Virgin Mary on another mini island.

It's a very long ceremony, so she should have enough time to change into another dress and run to the other side of the island where she'll meet with her friend who can get her a ship to sail away. But if someone recognises her, she'll be put in The Fixing House...

Fuck it.

"Yes mother." She smiled shyly and let her mother pull her out the room. The older dame skipped down the hall, her lass following behind.

They stepped out the Church House, walked down the stairs and over to the shore. The Bride hid her discomfort as her heels sank into the sand, twisting her ankles and breaking her skin. Her mother, on the other hand, wore sandals and walked without a care in the world.

When they got to the shore, the guests were already on the ship, waiting for the Groom, the Priest and the parents to get on. The Groom's mother walked towards the Bride and gave her a peck on the cheek, while the father just gave a curt nod. Her mother gave her a hug and got on the ship with a big grin. The Groom smiled and gave her a kiss on the forehead and followed his future mother-in-law.

The Bride watches with a smile as they sailed away, waving at her mother who blew a kiss her way.

As soon as they were out of sight, she took off her heels and ran back to the Church. She rushed into her room and quickly undid the dress, pulling it off with ease. She opened her closet and pulled out the first dress she could reach, it being a long beige gown. After putting it on, she turned to the mirror and quickly undid the complicated hairstyle, letting her long orange hair fall down to her hips.

She opened her window and jumped down, wanting to get out of there as soon as possible. She let out a small squeak when she realized she was higher than she thought, but the flowers and grass saved her fall.

She got up and pulled out a pair of scissors from her bra and chopped off her hair, the curls falling onto the mud. She hid the scissors back in her bra and dirtied her, now shoulder-length, hair with some mud. She walked towards a bird's drinking stone and washed her makeup off.

She climbed the gate that surrounded the church, and ran away when she got back on the floor. After running for an hour, she paused when she reached the busy shopping center (like in Beauty And The Beast when they sing 'Belle').
