The Cursed Runaway Bride

CHAPTER 1: Chosen Fate

In the clan of Tringham, it is said that the eldest son of their family are destined that their first bride will runaway in their first wedding, so their ancestors made a curse to threaten the bride not to run away.

It was nearly a perfect day for Ednalyn Elric and Russell Tringham since it was their wedding day today but the bride was bugged by her thoughts, her heart was never ready for this, she don't even feel the passion of love flowing as the days pass before her wedding, she felt that she lacked something, she was searching for it but never found the answer, and now was the day that she wasn't looking forward to, she felt nervous not because it was her wedding but because she might hurt him, she was afraid to hurt her special friend, the one that loved her the most aside from her brother but she just realized something that would change the situation right now, she can't love him more than a friend.

As she walked down the aisle, her heart raced, she's more nervous than before but she thought of this for the whole night and she made her mind up, she decided to run away no matter what the consequences were. She took hold of the skirt of her white long gown and immediately turned her back to run away but someone had clutched her arm.

"Sister, please don't-" Al said but she interrupted him "You can never stop me, Al." She said firmly. "But if you go out in this church, something might happen to you." Alphonse was now worried for his treasured sister, he can't help but worry about her especially when he have known about that curse, what if she will die? At that moment, lots of what if questions were inside his mind. "Not this time, brother, now that I've realized that I can't love him more than what he expect, I'm not worthy to be his lover so please let me go." Al didn't let her go and he held her tightly but she jerked away, he can't stop her now since she already decided her fate.

Russell ran after Ednalyn but when she stepped out of the church, she vanished like a bubble, everyone was astonished especially her brother, Alphonse. Russell's eyes widened and when he came back to his senses, he cried out loud "EDNALYN!!" Tears were now threatening to fall; he can't help but blame himself for her disappearance, he can't make her happy that's why she left. Then, he stood up and started to walk; his eyes were dazed, his father noticed it and ran towards him. "Please son, stop it, it's over, and she have chosen her fate." His father said in a calm way but he only replied. "Please find her, find her, it's my fault, find her." He said with an emotionless face, eyes were still dazed, but still crying. His father then sent some search parties to find his son's lover, and Al helped in finding her sister.

The sun was now setting but still they hadn't found her, Al decided to go home for he was hoping his sister was there waiting for him in their apartment.

As he stepped in their house, he started to find her inside, taking each step slowly, and making sure if she's inside or not, "Sis, sister? Are you there?" He called out. Then suddenly, he heard a loud bang, it was the CR's door in his room, he immediately ran into his room and what made him surprise was that he saw a lad crying in his bed.

"Who are you?" he asked in a slight livid tone of voice, and after the lad wiped his tears, he immediately ran to Al and hugged him tightly. Then all of a sudden, Al recognized him. "Sis? Is that you?" he exclaimed in disbelief. "You're right Al, it's me Ednalyn" He cried hugging him more tightly. "Bbu- but how? Was it the curse?" Al said her voice is shaky. "Yes, the curse of the Tringham family." Then sobs were heard from him and Al hugged him back.

When I disappeared, I was in an unknown dimension, then a man who looks like Russell suddenly appeared in my sight and he asked. "Why did you run away?" and I said "I don't feel the same way as him" then, suddenly I felt my head aching, at first it's tolerable but then, I can't endure the extreme pain passing through my head and he said "If you can't find your true love and haven't kissed him, you will die 3 years after, in your birthday" Then I passed out, and when I woke up, I was already here in your bed and I've found out that by now I'm a man.

--

"So it means that you can break the curse if you can find you true love!" Al said joyfully. "And kiss him? That's ridiculous! How will I suppose to do that if I'm already a man!?" He asked. For now, they were happy since they found hope for Ednalyn Elric to be normal again. While they were thinking, Ed looked down at his feet and a folded paper with rainbow colours caught his attention so he picked it up and read what was inside.

Ednalyn Elric,

If you can break the curse, you will go back to your original gender.

Your Guardian,

Silence occurred inside the room, it wasn't awkward since they were thinking of something. Then unexpectedly, the phone rang. "I think that's Winry." Ed said coolly. "So sis, you answer the phone." Al said and stepped backwards making a way for Ed to walk towards the phone, he picked it up and answered. "Hello good evening." Ed greeted in his normal tone but not as normal as before. "Ooh! Ednalyn, I'm sorry I can't go home right" then she paused for a moment and changed her statement. "Something happened, right?" She asked him worriedly but Ed changed his tone to hide it. "Nothing happened! Just come home quickly. Okay?" He assured her. "Okay, bye." Then she hung up.
