3rd pov

Hours have passed swiftly and Eddie and Eudora were still talking to each other as if they were on a real first date. Eddie continues to charm his was into Eudora's heart even though he already done so. Eudora laughs and blushes to his words. This moment here took her mind off the murder she committed in the asylum. Her arms were still bloody and when she would scratch her face, some of it smears onto her face due her being so sweating. Very soon, the island beauty grew tired and Eddie took the time to make an area for her to sleep in. The bed was, of course, dirty and dusty, but Eudora could care less about cleanliness at this time. As she lies down and gets herself cozy, Eddie stays by her side until her eyes closed. He stays for a little longer before leaving his Bride to rest.

1st pov (Eudora)

Despite how cold it was in the asylum, I was feeling pretty warm. I went to sleep for a good amount of hours with a small smile on my face. However, that smile didn't last for much longer. During my sleep, I had a nightmare. In it, I was in the Vocational Block walking around by myself and I couldn't find Eddie anywhere. I started to get scared by the fact that I was once again alone. As I walked, I could hear giggling. They belonged to a woman, but I thought that I was the only woman within the asylum. No other females were present. I could still hear the giggling. It was closing in on me. No, I was approaching it. I found the owner of the giggles and all I see was a silhouette of another woman. I couldn't get a clear vision of her, but I could make out a long dress from the silhouette. "Who…who a yuh?" My voice cracked as I asked. The woman stood quietly for a moment before raising her arm and pointing a very sharp item towards me. The last thing see and hear was the woman's evil chuckle and her rushing towards me…and that's when I wake up…

I shot up from my sleep and yelped as I place my left hand on my chest. As I did so, I fell off the bed landing on my left side. I sit up as I breathe heavily and my body starts to shake. "Wah was dat? And who the hell was she?" I couldn't tell who the lady was. I couldn't see her face, but it looked like she was wearing a long dress. I also know that she was out to kill me. I slowly calmed down and looked around the room. It was silent until I hear footsteps coming closer. I got off the floor and stood on my feet while looking at the doorway. The footsteps were heading to this specific area and it was coming from Eddie, who just returned from where ever he came from. "Eudora darling!" He kept calling me that ever since we started talking to each other. I actually fell in love with the nickname. I run to him crying and I wrap my arms around him. This caught him off guard. "What's wrong, Eudora?" he asks while petting my hair. "Somethin' a come fi mi." I cried, "It waan to kill mi." Eddie softly shushed as he wipes the tears from my eyes. "Relax, Eudora darling." he says, "I won't let anyone hurt you." I was still sobbing because I was still so scared. Eddie leads me back to the bed and I sit down. He also sits on the bed. Some tears still slide down my face and I wipe them off myself. "I had a nightmare…" I tell him, "There was a woman standing a few feet away from me. She was giggling and she ran towards me." I was straight to the point. Eddie holds my hand. His hands were cold as well as mine. "It was all a dream, darling." He reminds me. I rest my head on his shoulder. He does have a point. It was all just a bad dream. But what if I have this dream again? Would it mean that it's true? I will never know probably. I wrap my arms around his left arm making it rest in the middle of my chest. "Please stay here with me." I sweetly said to him. "I will." He said softly. A smile appeared on my face once he said that. I look up at him showing how happy I am. "I must be the luckiest man in the world." Eddie says, "I'm going to marry the most beautiful woman in the world." "Very lucky." I respond, "No other man has been…lucky enough to snatch up a woman like me."

"Looks like you were saved just for me."

Eddie stands up and pulls up me from the bed. He takes my hand, walks towards a radio, and turns it on. The music that was playing was an old timey tune. The sound of this music reminded me what strange "corpse art" I saw within the asylum. I'll spare you the details, but all I can tell you is that it was disturbing.

With my hand still in his, he raises it up and brings his free hand to my waist. I blush as I look at his hand. He brings my attention back to him making me look into his bloodshot eyes. "Have you ever danced before, Eudora darling?" he asks me. "Not like this." I answer. "There's always a first, darling." Eddie says, "Just follow my lead." First, he starts off slow by taking a step forward making me take a step back. He takes another step by taking a step back and I had to take a step forward. I follow Eddie while looking at my own feet as well. From what I see, they were slow. My legs were like jelly because I don't know if I will dance beautifully like how he wants me to. But even if I'm terrible at it, he'll still love me. We continue to dance a little longer. Once I took a step forward, I trip and yelp. Luckily, Eddie broke my fall. I could hear him chuckling at me. I whine embarrassed at my clumsy moment. "Mi terrible at dis." I complained. "No, Eudora darling." he said to me, "You're doing great even though you tripped." "I knew you would say something like that." I reply with a smile and a blush, "You're just so good to me, Eddie." Eddie chuckles as he swiftly picks me up and spins around. "I will always be good to you." He continues to spin making me laugh within this evil walls. It was fun until my stomach started to turn. "Eddie…stop…" I softly command as bring my hand to my mouth. He stopped once he noticed my motion sickness. He carefully sits me down on a table and I slowly take some deep breaths just waiting for something to come out. Luckily, it didn't. "Okay. I'm fine." I sigh as I bring my attention back to him. However, that attention did not last until I caught a variant watching us from the outside. "Eddie, someone out deh." I told him as I pointed at the area the variant stood at. Before Eddie could see his face, he runs away. Eddie stares at the area for a moment before looking back at me and saying, "I'll be back, Eudora darling." I began to cry some knowing that he's going to go out again and leave me by myself. "No, no." he sweetly says as he brings his hands to my cheeks, "Don't cry. I'll return to you soon." He pulls away with a smile as he walks out following the variant. I could hear his footsteps fade away until it got quiet again. I stare at the doorway still sobbing a little bit. "Mi a guh wait fi yuh." I whisper.

Eddie has been gone for a long time. Perhaps the variant was giving him a hard time? I don't know. Even though I knew he was coming back, I was still a little worried. "Please, Eddie…" I mumble, "Don't be hurt. Please be okay." I hug myself and I start to pretend that he was around. I wanted him to hold me like how he would. He told me that everything will be okay and I believe him. He made me feel safe. Soon, I heard the sound for dragging and grunting. "Did he catch him?" I watch the doorway for a moment excited to see Eddie coming through. Soon enough, Eddie enters along with the eavesdropping variant. He was struggling and grunting for he was trying to get out of Eddie's powerful grasp. I shook my head as I thought, 'You'll never escape…' I watched Eddie places the man on the table and strap him down tightly. "Dis wah yuh get fi eavesdroppin'." I said to the variant. He was silent at first until breathes out the words, "Fuck you." My widen as I heard him. "Oh…" I respond calmly for now. Eddie brings his hand around neck and chokes him some. "How can you talk to a beautiful woman like that!?" he angrily asks. "Now, now, Eddie." I say as I touch his arm, "Let him speak. Mi waan fi hear wah him haffi seh." Eddie looks at me confused on what I said, but he did what I wanted him to do; which was to let go of the variant's neck. I look back at the bonded up man waiting for him to speak his peace before letting him go. "Yuh naw guh talk?" I ask him. I clearly know that his not going to understand my island dialect, so I wasn't really expecting him to answer back…much. Of course, he didn't talk to me or Eddie, but he did something which was his last mistake. He spits on he and it lands on my jeans. "Go to hell." he finally speaks. I would respond by saying how gross it was to have someone spit on me, but I didn't do it for my mind just clouded up quickly. Eddie and I both look at him like if this variant was out of his mind. He disrespected Eddie's bride-to-be by spitting on me. I smile and giggle. My giggles turn into maniacal laughter. "Go to hell?" I repeated with a question, "Wi een hell already eenuh." I was starting to get a little crazy. Really crazy, in fact, that I can see my fiancé smiling at me. He was loving was he was seeing. Then I thought of something fun. What I'm thinking you all wouldn't define as "fun". I look at Eddie with a smile. "We need an operation." I say. "An operation, darling?" he questions. "Yes…" I reply. It didn't look like my idea was ridiculous to him, but he didn't do anything else just so I can make the first move of this "operation". I grab the knife that was near Eddie. "Spittin' pon mi was yuh lass mistake. Suh now yuh a guh haffi pay di price…WID YUH LIFE!!"
