Chapter 11: Blood at a wedding

Disclaimer

Me: God, it's so cold out here! Hana, what are you doing?

Hana: (Guiltily) Nothing!

Me: What?

Hana: I told you nothing!

Me: You've got your phone out!

Hana: And?

Much: What's a phone?

John: Yeah what is it?

Marian: A phone?

Me: Oh no!

Hana: Oops!

Lucy: Oh, hana!

Me: I'll tell you what; I'll tell you what a phone is, if you give me your show!

Robin: NO!

Small now, aqueduct running dry! I'm running out of ideas AND I still own NOTHING!

The dress was a traditional white, low cut and showing off more than I desired.

"My Lady?" It was Emily, my lady in waiting.

"Yes Emily?" I sighed.

"Sir Guy requested that you wear these." She held out a box.

I took it, peered inside and made a noise of deep disgust.

"Shackles, how very kind of him." I fumed.

"My Lady, I know it is not my place to say, but if you do not love him, why do you marry him?"

"No Emily, it is not your place. It's complicated."

"I'm a good listener."

"I do it to save those I love."

"My Lady?"

"Sometimes you have to make difficult choices and sacrifices, it's part of growing up."

It was raining. A damp day that matched my mood. The rain came down in the empty cups and everyone was soaked. I felt as if the rain was washing away my spirit, everything in me.

I looked at the sword that hung on the side of the guard's belt and wandered if I had the courage to run myself through.

It would certainly solve all my problems, but Nottingham? Could I really let that happen? Sure it would be good to have Guy and the Sheriff die, but innocent people, people like Emily, could I really see her die?

A sharp tuck on the manacles pulled me towards the alter. A guard was holding the chain in between the two cuffs and giving me away.

"Who gives away this woman?" Asked the shaky vicar.

"I do." Yawned the guard and shoved me towards the vicar, he avoided my eyes.

Lucy was to the left of him, a guard holding a sword to her neck.

"We are gathered here today to witness the joining of this man and this woman," again he avoided my eyes. "In holy matrimony."

"Just skip to the 'I do's'" Guy sneered.

"Yes Sir." The vicar shook as he found the right page. "Do you, Guy of Gisbourne, take Lady Marian, to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do."

"Do you, Lady Marian Fitzwalter, take Guy of Gisbourne to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

They say that when you die your whole life flashes before you, it did with me. I saw me chasing Robin through the long grass, Robin and I in the forest, our anniversary party, I saw him leaving me for war and finally I saw our goodbye just three days ago. Then I saw Lucy, my best friend, my cousin and my playmate. I loved them so much.

"When pigs fly!" I shouted.

Guy slapped me hard and I heard Lucy scream as the guard pressed his sword to her throat to draw blood.

"She does." Guy snapped.

That was it, my life was gone. Then a thought came to me, an excellent thought.

Guy was bringing out the marriage certificate.

He signed it quickly and passed the feather to me.

I looked at it.

"Sign." He hissed, gripping my arm so much it hurt.

I nodded stiffly and pulled my left hand from his vice grip. Shakily I signed the paper.

"Done!" He shouted.

"Oh good." The Sheriff stood up and wiped his hands together. "Do with her as you will Gisbourne, kill the girl!"

"No!" I screamed.

Lucy's cry rang out and I stared at her body.

She was dead.

It all went black.

Okay i admit this was not the best and I wasn't entirely happy with it, but I'm so GLAD for all the reviews. I'm just tweaking a chappy at the mo, so sos if it takes a long time to update.

Plz be patient and review.

Thanx
