Jack watched as the morning sun rose higher in the sky, heating the world to another day of the world's wonderful summers. However, the teenager couldn't take advantage of the nice warm day, as many of the others certainly did. He couldn't walk in the sun and enjoy the warm rays or feel the cool grass of his mother's beautiful garden. Only because of the condition he was born with, his god given curse. Yes, Jack was an albino. Born of flawless white skin as delicate to the sun's rays, as it is to any strenuous physical activity; the young adult burnt in the few hours spent in sun and bruised just as easily. It was more problematic that he was born clumsy.

There were children running around in the garden below. Their squeals of laughter easily reached Jack's room and left his all the more broken heart that he could never be down there. Unless he wanted to call upon pain on purpose. Still he watched the children enjoy and dreamed. Although, why the children were there, very much broke it as well.

You see, today wasn't just any simple sunny day. Today he was being forced to marry someone he didn't want. But then, he had no word in the say, as being the only child of the well known and wealthy Spicers'. It was a given that Jack cannot live up to his father's standards. So this was the option he had been given.

"It's either you stay in that dark hole you call a lab or bring some pride to this family and marry our chosen spouse for you." Michael had growled at the depressed teen. Jack had known in that instant that if he had not agreed, life for him in this house would be impossible.

At least if he went through with the marriage, he wouldn't have to deal with his father's disappointed looks and his mother's worried glances.

"My wedding day..." Jack sighed softly.

Jack had not yet met his groom... and was nervous about finally meeting him. He had heard rumors though. His groom's name was Raimundo Pedrosa. Raimundo was the tall, dark and handsome kind, if went by his childhood companion, Kimiko's, view. 'He has lush dark brown hair and a smile to die for.' Jack remembered Kimiko squealing in delight. Though Jack had also heard that he was the youngest of eight brother's, he had a nasty personality from his feline loving cousin Ashley. Jack took both judgments to heart and hoped that his to soon be husband would come to like him, if not love or care for him.

However, there was troubling news he had overheard one day, from the gossipers that roamed the mansion during parties. The Pedrosa family was going broke. Their business was doing well as well and their business partners had cut them to their own dealings. Jack worried this marriage wasn't just for the money. "What am I thinking? Like anyone could marry me for love alone... I look as pale as the dead and thin as a ghost..."

"Jackie~" Alexis Spicer called happily as she entered Jack's room, giving him just only a moment to put up a smile. He turned to his mother and couldn't help the chuckle that left his full lips. His mother was dressed as brightly in white, as if it was her own wedding. To her benefit, she looked absolutely dazzling in the white laced gown. Her bright sun yellow hair glittered with the disco that was put on and her green eyes glittered with sheer joy. Jack would do anything for his mother and to keep her smiling happily like that.

"They are here!" His mother cooed. "And the groom is handsome! My, what a couple you will make~" She chirped as she fluttered around the room. Her eyes fell on Jack and instantly she stopped.

"You promise won't you, Jack? That you will do your best to hang on to this marriage? You may come to love him in the future, you know. Just like I did your father." She asked softly, knowing the pain in Jack's heart, having once felt it herself. She smiled when she saw Jack smile sincerely at her.

"Yeah." He murmured. "Are they ready for the vows rehearsal?" Jack asked brightly to distract his mother.

"Oh, Goodness! Yes, they have! I came here to bring you down stairs, love. They await for you in the garden-"

"The garden?" Jack stood surprised. Had his father forgotten to mention to his to-be in-Laws that he was unable of staying in the sun?!

"Oh, do not fret. Mother's here~" Alexis chirped again and Jack smirked. Of course. His mother wouldn't let it happen unless he was safe. She was such a worry wart for his health. And he could hardly mind.

"The garden has been re-furbished." Alexis continued her explanation as she moved around her son, checking him over any flaws in the snow white suit he wore. "The garden looks more like the forest now, you know. A beautiful one, though if I must say so myself. None of the horrid sun's beams will fall on my delicate son. No Sir!"

Jack laughed out loud as his mother huffed and started pulling him to his door. It was now time to face his future.

The way down to the lobby and back to the garden was way too fast for Jack's liking. His heart beat loudly in his ears. He hoped against hope that Kimiko would be right with her gushing and Ashley be wrong in her growling.

What he saw after he was temporarily blinded right then by the sun and led quickly to the shade was a young man of probably the same age as him, smirking at him as he looked him over.

Jack's eyes lowered as his face bloomed red. He did not like being stared at, it had led to horrible things in his experience. His fingers twitched at the grin he saw when he, after a while, lifted his eyes. It felt like he was going to be devoured.

Raimundo Pedrosa wasn't all Kimiko had made him out to be. The young man may have been tall for his Japanese friend but Raimundo was in fact shorter than Jack. Stronger maybe, as his body looked well exercised and practiced. His somewhat laid back brown hair blew in the late morning wind, as if it caressed the lush brown locks. What was most startling to Jack, were his eyes. The bright green eyes were glittering in mischief and something else he couldn't put a name to. But it didn't bode him well, he knew in his gut.

Jack moved a little, trying to secretly hide behind his flamboyant mother.

"Let's carry on with the rehearsal." Said the Minister that came to wed Jack and Raimundo.

Both Jack and Raimundo came up to the Minister. Jack looked once more at his groom and again felt something inside him curl. He didn't know why but... his soul was crying out. He didn't understand and so that left him confused.

"Jack!" His father's voice brought him back to reality, startling him into jumping and dropping his cup of wine. Beside him, Raimundo snickered. Jack quickly bent down to retrieve the fallen cup and chuckled softly. He apologized softly to the Minister and kept the cup on the alter. The minister handed him the candle instead.

"W-with this candle I will... I will," Jack glanced secretly Raimundo once again and trembled. "Light your... wine..." Jack mumbled distractedly.

"What?" He heard one of Raimundo's many brothers bellow out a laugh. Jack shrank the moment he knew what he said. His heart beat tripled when he felt the angry fumes coming off his father.

"Can you not remember your wedding vows, boy?! Do you not want this marriage to take place? Or are you just so willing to drag my name through to the end?!" His father howled at him angrily, frightening Jack more. He whimpered softly.

"Do I really have to marry this spineless coward?" Raimundo sniggered again from his side.

Jack shrank a bit more. He knew his luck would never do him well.

"Jackie..." It was his mother's sad whisper that broke him.

Tears ran down his porcelain cheeks as he ran from the garden-made-forest. Not looking where he headed. He ran ignoring the cries that came after him. Gasps that followed as he crossed the old stone bridge into the dark thick forest beyond.

***chackchackchackchackchackchack***

Jack sniffled and growled at the same time, harshly drying away his tears. He hated how his father can drive him to fear and his mother can bring him to tears. He growled again as he stomped through the darkened forest. Jack didn't understand why his soul had cried out to him. He didn't understand why his mind refused to co-operate with him and more why his heart now felt glad that the wedding was delayed... just a bit more.

For what else could it be?

He knew the vows. He knew them by heart. He had practiced them for hours during the nights after when his wedding was planned. He had no intention of shaming his family in front of the guests. And yet here he was, walking to god knows where after doing just the opposite. Jack looked up as a crow cawed loudly. He looked away, shaking his head and continued walking.

At least now, he knew where he was.. The dark forest that lay beyond his house. Said to be cursed, but Jack didn't believe that.

The ring in his breast pocket felt heavy, laying there near his heart. 'He knew the vows!' Jack thought wildly.

'Do I really have to marry this spineless coward?'

Jack huffed and pulled out the ring from his pocket and took a staccato pose. His back straight, his voice strong and a beautiful smile grazing his lips.

"With this hand," Jack brought forward his hand and lifted it into the air. "I will lift your sorrows."

"You cup will never empty," Jack bowed with flourish, bring his left hand that held the ring to his back and cupping his right to mimic holding a wine cup. "For I will be your wine."

Jack broke a piece of the dead branch next to him as he continued on with the next verse. "With this candle, I will light your way in darkness." he copied the act of lighting another candle.

Jack knelt down on the cold forest floor that glowed eerily white under the full moon's glow and said the last verse.

"With this ring, I ask you to be mine." The ring his hand was easily thrown into the air and caught with his right. He pushed the ring of pure gold onto a dead branch that looked like a hand. With the vows said correctly and without errors, he wished deep in his heart to be loved by his spouse. "For that is all I ask." He wished softly.

The sudden cawing of many crows broke the silence of the night, startling Jack into looking up at the tall dead trees. On them he saw black crows, all staring at him with glowing red eyes and once again started their loud cawing. Jack's eyes looked from one dead tree to another to only see black crows sitting on them instead of any leaves.

Startling the boy more, the birds took off into the night, spreading there ebony wings to lift them high in the cold breeze. Some flew down, past Jack's head, grazing it.

Scared and shivering Jack fell on the cold ground. His body not doing him any good. He crawled backwards, trying to get away from the crows flying around in circles, hoping not to be there next meal. However, he froze on the spot when his back hit something. Not knowing why, but the young man knew this was no tree and so was too afraid to turn around and look. He whimpered instead as his heart jumped and lodged in his throat, hardly allowing him to breathe.

Whatever was behind him moved and Jack whimpered again only to feel a cold breeze next to his ear, making him shiver, but not with the cold. He could barely believe the words that followed.

"I accept. And you shall be mine forever."

Jack screamed.
