a change.” She sighed, “You’re always pretty. This just brings out the beauty so ‘you’ can finally see it.” I chuckled, “I’m regular. Nothing special about me.” David called in, “Is it safe to come in?” “Yeah. Come in.” Diana called back out.

David came in with Ella. She had this cute little pink dress on with pink flowers in her hair. She wore pink wrist gloves. She was my little flower girl. “We’re all ready out there. Are we ready in here?” “Yes.” “No.” I corrected. They both came over to stand beside me. Diana touched my shoulder, “Ariel. You’ll be fine. Trust me.” I shook my head, “No I won’t. I’ll either trip on my way down.” “I won’t let you fall.” David smiled. I said, “I’ll forget what to say and have to ask the preacher to repeat himself. Or something.” Diana looked at David, “Maybe she needs a little talk. You know like a dad talk.” That was probably all I needed. Was a pep talk. I was feeling really, really nervous.

Diana went outside taking Ella with her and David kneeled beside me, “Hey. What’s going on? What are you afraid of?” “Messing up. I want this day to be perfect. Not just for me but for Keith and I’m just bound to mess it up on him.” He said, “You’ll be fine. Even if you were to mess up Keith wouldn’t care. As long as he was married to you. You’re just as nervous as any other bride on their wedding day.” I smiled and hugged him, “Thank you.”

I stood up and grabbed my bouquet and went to stand right behind the opening of the ten. I took David’s arm and took a deep breath. The anxiety was getting worse. I heard Diana call in, “Ariel. Calm down. You’ll worry all your makeup off and you’ll faint.” I sighed, “Gee, thanks Diana. Real helpful.” “Just relax, Ariel.” “Okay. It’s starting.” Diana said. The music started and my heart raced even more. We had to wait ten seconds to give the brides maids and flower girl a head start. Then we walked out following behind them.

Everyone was there. My teachers. My principals. My friends. Sam and Mike was there. Sam was really excited and Mike was just smiling at me. He always had a crush on me. Oh well. I saw Keith and I couldn’t tear my eyes from him. I smiled at him and he smiled back. When we got to the alter David placed my hand in Keith’s hand and I knew that I was going to be okay. Everyone sat down in their seats and the preacher started.


Keith said his ‘I do’ with a smile and grace. Then the preacher turned to me and asked me the question. By now I had to blink a couple times to get the tears out of my face. I swallowed and said, “I do.” The preacher smiled and said, “You may now kiss the bride.” I wrapped my arms and bouquet around his neck and kissed him. Everyone cheered and clapped. I didn’t want to end this. But Keith pulled back and wiped the tears from my face, “So was that that hard that you had to have an anxiety attack in the tent?” I chuckled, “No. It wasn’t. I love you.” The first set of arms that embraced me were my friends and then my family. Even the teachers and principals hugged me. They also said that I should’ve stayed in school but I just ignored them. Keith took the wedding garter off of my leg and when he threw it one of the teachers caught it. Creepy. I threw my bouquet and Sam caught it.

Then it was time for the first dance. They played the music and I grabbed his one hand and wrapped my other arm around his shoulder. He layed his one hand on my lower back and held my hand to his chest. Camera’s flashed from everywhere. I smiled, “I don’t know how Diana did all this but it’s perfect.” Keith asked, “She’s very talented. So ‘Mrs. Shades’, how does it feel to be married at eighteen?” I chuckled, “Great. Best feeling in the world; besides being a mother.” He nodded, “Yes. Same here. Greatest thing in the world; besides being a father.”

******************

Keith and I sat at the table eating cake. It was just a table for two. People urged us to put cake in each others faces but I didn’t want to ruin the makeup that Diana spent time on. I heard footsteps coming our way and when I looked up to see who it was I froze. It was William with about three other guys. They were all dressed up and smiling at us; well William was smiling. The others seemed to be his body guards.

Keith stood and so did I. He was about to walk around the table to him but I grabbed his arm, “No. Don’t. Not today.” William chuckled, “And I thought I was going to get a mother’s rage.” “Not yet. Not today. What do you want?” I asked. He said, “To congratulate you. On the wedding. And on your lovely daughter that you actually managed to protect.” Keith growled lowly. I looked over and made sure that Ella was safe. She was in Hilary’s arms. And she glanced over at us with caution. Same as Diana and David. They already knew the danger.

“Okay. You’ve congratulated us now you can leave. If you don’t mind, I’d like to have a peaceful wedding day.” He nodded, “Of course. But don’t I get a dance with the bride like everyone else before I leave?” Keith growled, “I don’t think so.” “Then we’ll skip right to killing everyone here. All because she won’t dance with me.” He said. He was about to give some order to the guys behind him. But I said, “Wait. You leave everyone here alone and leave as soon as it’s over . . . Then I’ll do it.” Keith looked down at me, “He’s going to hurt you.” I shook my head, “No he won’t. Not in public like this. Trust me. I’ll be fine.” William held out his hand smiling. I sighed and took it.


I frowned as we swayed back and forth . He asked, “So what’s her name?” I answered, “Ella.” “She’s very pretty. What is she like? Being half human half vampire?” He asked. I replied, “You will never know. I will find out how to kill you. And when I do you better be careful. You won’t want to be coming around like this.” He said, “You know it’s your fault he’s dead right now, right?” I swallowed. This is what Keith meant when he said he’d hurt me. I sighed, “Yes.”

“If you would’ve just made it easy for me to kidnap you then he would’ve lived. I would’ve raised him and he would be alive.” He added. I asked, “Why did you come back? Why today? Why couldn’t you wait until tomorrow or something?” William shrugged, “I don’t know. Thought it’d be best today.” “It’s just a joke to you. My pain is like the comedy channel for you.” I stated. He nodded, “Yeah. I guess you can say that.” The song ended and I gladly pulled back from him. William sucked his teeth, “Oh come on. It’s your wedding day. Forget about him. If you can kill him then you can obviously forget about him.” He smiled at his cruelty. I whispered through tears, “I will never forget him.”

Keith came over and put his arm around me. He looked at William, “William. You got your dance so just leave. You’ve done enough damage here.” William backed away, “I’ll be seeing you and your daughter real soon.” Keith growled. Then they left. No one had noticed what had happened because it was all in low voices made only for us. Although, it was like a yelling match for me.

Keith turned to me and framed my face, “Are you alright?” I nodded and wiped my tears away. My hands were trembling and I couldn’t stop the tears from coming out. I said, “Just give me a minute.” My voice was real shaky. I turned and walked quickly back to the tent. I sat down at the desk and layed my head down on the desk crying.

I felt someone touch my back and when I peeked from the corner of my eyes I saw Keith kneeling beside me. He said, “I’m so sorry that this had to happen today. I wanted everything to be perfect for you.” He sighed. I leaned down and hugged him, “Why’d he have to come back? Why couldn’t he just stay away and leave us alone?” “I don’t know. He’s evil.” “I quit. I’m done fighting back.” Keith pulled back and looked up at me, “What do you mean you’re done fighting back? Ariel. No. Don’t give up.” I sighed and wiped my tears away. I groaned, “Crap. Could you ask Diana to come here?” He nodded and kissed me. Then he left.

Diana came in and stood beside me, “Are you okay?” I nodded, “I’m fine now. I’m just going to forget about what happened for right now. Just lock it up in a box and keep it there until I need to open it. But could you fix my makeup?” She nodded and got to work, “Sure.” I asked, “Where’s Ella?” “Hilary has her. When I left Keith was going over to hold her. So now she’s with him.” She answered.


After she was done with my makeup I went back out and went over to Keith. He held Ella. I kissed her cheek and then I kissed Keith. He asked, “Are you okay?” I nodded, “Yes. Could we just forget about it for right now? The weddings not over yet.” He smiled, “Sure. Want to dance?” I smiled, “Now that, I would love to do.” Ella asked, “I want to dance too. Please?” Keith shushed her, “Shh. Ella. You can’t talk like that right now. Right now you’re only one years old.” She puckered her bottom lip. We both laughed and headed out for the dance floor. He held both Ella and I in his arms.


Chapter 18: Kidnapping

I layed Ella down for bed and covered her up. I kissed her, “Love you.” “Love you too mommy. Night.” “Night baby. Sweet dreams.” I turned the light out and left. I went downstairs and outside. Keith got up off the couch and followed me out. I just stood there and folded my arms across my chest staring out at the road. He wrapped his arms around me and layed his chin on my shoulder, “What’s the matter, baby?” “I’m tired of waiting.”

“Tired of waiting for what?” He asked. I turned around and answered, “For William to attack. I’m tired of playing his games. I mean, what’s he waiting for? It’s been a week now. And he’s holding up my honeymoon.” Keith sighed and pulled me into his arms, “Baby. Don’t worry about him right now. Worry about him when he attacks. And we can still go on our honeymoon.” I shook my head, “No. There’s no way we’re taking Ella with us on our honeymoon. And as long as William’s alive I’m not leaving her. So when this is finally over then we can go on our honeymoon.”

He kissed me, “Alright. Well stop worrying. Come on. Lets go inside and have a fraction of our honeymoon.” I smiled and he picked me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist and kissed
