My Supposed to be Wedding
"Do you Amara Renee Williams take Frederick Hempsberg as you lawfully wedded husband?" the priest asked his voice echoed the whole chapel.
I froze, a simple I do failed to came out of my mouth. I just stared at the man in front of me, smiling, waiting for me to utter the words. He gripped my hands gently, urging me to answer. I can't.
I looked at the crowd, they are waiting for me to say those two words. I searched for my mother's face, her smile slowly fading. She could have felt something is wrong.
"Babe?" Frederick whispered and he gently nudged my hands.
I looked back at him. I held my breath. This is wrong, a small voice whispered in my head.
I let go Frederick's hands and took a small step back. I saw his eyes widen and heard gasps on the crowd.
"I am sorry," that was all I said to him before turning around and run out of the chapel.
I heard my mother and Frederick's voices, shouting my name but I did not stop.
Everyone just froze on their seats and no one was able to react not until I am on the gates. I felt confused but at the same time I know I am doing what is right. My hands were shaking as I clench hard on my wedding dress. I don't know what to do, I just stood there on the gates of the small chapel looking left and right as if I am waiting for someone.
I heard people now going out of the church, I looked back at them as I saw my mother and Frederick I raised both of my hands in front of me signaling them to stop.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry! This is wrong, please..." I begged them. Tears now starting to form in my eyes clouding my vision. It was then I heard a car pulling up behind me.
I turned to look at a black race car and I saw the horse logo in front. A man in black leather jacket effortlessly climb out of the car and looked at me in the eyes. Tears started to fall on my cheeks. His black eyes shifts color because how the sun hits them as he walk towards me.
"Hey! " Frederick called out the man I did not turn my head to him as so as the man that's now in front of me.
The next second, the man grabbed my wrist and dragged me to his car. I was not able to react at all, he just deposited me to the passenger and walked over the driver's and drove away.
I don't know about this man, I am scared as hell however my hands stopped shaking. I looked at him, he's stare is fix on the road. I can't utter any words I just looked at him, his dark eyes shifts in every shades of black and sometimes as if it's silver, his straight nose, his trimmed beard hugging his thin lips.
"Have we met before?" the question escaped through my lips before I can even think why should I ask it.
He looked at me with smirk, "you'll remember, but for now just rest," he answered and looked back on the road again.
A familiar feeling washed over me as I saw his smirk. There's no way I wouldn't remember someone like him. I forced myself to look on the other direction instead. We are now exiting my small town as I watch the vast land thats almost a desert I felt my lids becoming heavy and tiredness washing over me then I slept.

When I opened my eyes we were already pulling up to what I think is a underground garage. That might be filled with at least a dozen black luxury cars. I should be freaking out now but I am not, I just sat in the passenger seat while the man beside me exits the car. I watched him as he walks to the passenger car and opening the door for me. He graciously offered his hands to help out of the car.
"Where are we?" I asked, not taking his hands or moving from my seat.
"Your home... Our home, my love," he answered me in his low deep voice that echoed around the garage.
Our home? I heard it right, right? This time I started to panic. This is wrong, I'm starting to realize that this is not a good idea. NEVER A GOOD IDEA!
I gathered my dress and stepped out of the car. I stood up infront of him and he was towering me. I took a deep breath and inhaled his so masculine and earthy scent. He still got his hand extend, waiting for me to take it.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what I am doing. I got cold feet on my wedding and I really am not thinking right as of the moment," I told him as I am looking at the entrance of the garage. The sunset is peeking through it now.
"Thank you for getting me out of the awkward situation earlier but I do need to leave now, " I continue thinking that him driving me out of there do complicates things. I stepped away from him, towards the entrance but his strong hands gripped my arm, stopping me effectively.
"I guess you didn't hear me, my love. You are home," he said putting an emphasis on the last words.
"Let me go!" I exclaimed trying to break free from his grip.
Annoyance flashed on his face as I try to struggle out of his grip. "Everytime," he said. He then moved his free hand, I thought he's going to slap me but he just brushed it gently on my cheek and that was the last thing I could remember.

It was so dark, I know I have my eyes open but I cannot see anything.
"Hello?" I whispered. I don't know where am I. I tried to reach my hands in front as well to my sides. I cannot feel any walls from where I am standing. I am so afraid to take a step, afraid that I might fall deep.
"Hello?!" This time I shouted, this time I totally regret every decision I made for this day. I should not have ran away from my own wedding, I should not have gotten into that car, I should have not let that man stop me. It was all too late. I am now abducted.
"Someone please..." I cried. I am not someone who would shed a tear everytime but right now is an exception. I am scared to death or am I already dead?
Unfortunate thoughts fill my mind and tears kept on falling. My knees got weaker as my cries grew stronger. "Please, I am begging any one," I cried out.
I sat on my spot still afraid to move. I am still on my wedding gown. I hugged my knees and buried my face to the lace.
"I want to go home, please..." I continued to beg to someone even though I feel no one is around me.
You are home, a voice answered. That's my own voice, inside my head.
As time goes, your story will be told again, it continued.
It went silent and my cries grew louder echoing the void I was in until I passed out.
