She stood there clutching the bouquet she didn't know what else she could do she was unarmed after all. She heard the swish of light sabers and the sounds of them meeting behind her. They were behind her where the cake had been, beyond where the guests were sitting. Now it was empty, chairs tipped over. Left that way by the fleeing occupants the preacher had fled indoors when he arrived. The moments seemed to tick by like they were moving in slow motion. She wiped her hands on the gown and looked down at the flowers in her hand.
This was supposed to be such a special day; too bad the force decreed that it wasn't meant to be. This was so unfair she thought, I've waited for this moment for most of my life. Thinking that because the code, that it would never happen. Now that the order that had forbidden this union was no longer an obstacle, one more steps up.
She wanted to cry but she had no more tears left, she had released them all for her friends and once fellow padawans. Were they watching her now? Did they see this coming? and if so were they laughing? At the foolish Padawan who fell in love with her master.
Or did they wish her luck in her new life only to find out like she already knew that the galaxy was cruel. A tear slipped down her cheeks, she could help it. All she wanted was a life together, that's why they both renounced their commissions in order to wed. But no fate and the force were jealous masters.
So she stood there amidst the ruins of her wedding day. Staring at the lake and the flowers next to the balcony anything to get her mind off the sounds behind her. She reached out and took one of the flowers, it was blood red and it had thorns, which pricked her fingers. She placed one in her bouquet. She hadn't noticed the sounds behind her had stopped.
She focused instead on her bouquet and the view of the lake. She heard the sound of his approach but didn't turn. Didn't want to see what had happened to Aiden, her ex master now finance' He stopped behind her and seemed to be waiting for her to say something.
"Make it swift, please," she said without turning. tears were already streaming down her face. She heard the familiar snap hiss sound and felt the blade pierce her chest. It was warm but It didn't hurt she mused; perhaps a broken heart no longer feels anything. Then she crumpled to the ground. Her bouquet landed next to her. The petals on the red flower broke apart and scattered on her chest and face. Clinging to the melted bits of her dress and the tears there.
