Four days later…

I woke up and found the bed empty. I noticed a note on the pillow that was addressed to me. I sat up in the bed and opened it:,,

Martha!

Sorry, that I could be with you right now. Ann shoed me to go with Harry to get ready for the ceremony. Can't wait to see you. Sweeney.''

I smiled as I realized, that today was the wedding day. I jumped out of the bed and went to the kitchen, where Ann was sitting and playing a game on her phone.

,, Morning, bride's maid!'' I cheerfully started to make breakfast.

,, Morning, bride. Oh, no you don't. I'm making the breakfast. You. Go and get ready for the day.'' She bossed me a little, smiling.

I shook my head and giggled, heading for the bathroom. I washed my face and enjoyed the cold water dripping from my face. I brushed my hair and noticed, that Ann had left me a whole set for me to use. I got the curling iron and curled my hair even more than it already was.

I heard her calling:,, Martha, where do you keep the spoons?''

I giggled and yelled back:,, Third drawer from the left!''

,, Thank you!'' She yelled.

I shook my head and got to my face. I didn't want to overdo it, so I chose more natural colors. I walked back in the bedroom and picked the dress out of the box, I hid under the bed all this time, so Sweeney wouldn't see it. I laid it on the bed in its full length and put the veil next to it. I pulled out the shoes from the closet. I went to the kitchen and I was greeted by some omelet, golden brown toast with butter and Ann with a proud face expression.

,, Dig in, we don't want you fainting by the altar, now do we?'' She raised an eyebrow.

I shook my head and got hit in the eye by one of my fire red curls.

Ann giggled and stood up:,, Well I'm going to get ready now, while you eat.''

I nodded and she left. When I was done I went to the living room, where Ann had some trouble, tying her dress.

,, A little help here?'' She made a puppy face.

I giggled and tied the laces. I went to the bedroom and started to get myself in the wedding dress. After I was done I put on the veil and looked at myself in the mirror. I was beautiful. The veil really fitted in its place like it was meant to be. After I stepped in my shoes to make myself look taller, and make the kiss easier for Sweeney. He was a bit taller than me so either I had to rise up to my tip toes or Sweeney had to bend down a little. I hated being short even in the past. My nickname was ''the hobbit'' cause of my small size. At first I hated it, but then the nickname gave me a last moment idea for Halloween.

I walked in the living room and Ann gasped:,, Martha, you look so cute! Wait here's the bouquet.''

It had lilies and roses. My favorites.

So we caught a carriage to the church and the closer we were to the church, the more nervous I got. After a moment I was trembling,

I felt cold chills running through my spine as the driver said:,, We're here.''

Ann paid the man and we slowly approached the white tower. And just behind that door were my parents, friends and Sweeney. I didn't know what to expect from him. He never showed his suit either. I just hoped that everything would go smoothly. And by that I mean me not passing out any moment.

I found my dad and he smiled hugging me:,, You look amazing, baby girl.''

I smiled weakly and said:,, Thanks, you too.''

We got in our places and I clutched in his arm in case I faint.

He felt it and placed his palm over mine, whispering:,, You'll be okay. Don't worry.''

As soon as he said that the organs started to play the familiar melody from movies. We slowly walked to the altar, where I saw Sweeney standing in a champagne colored suit, widening his smile as he met my eyes. When I looked in his eyes, I felt a little safer.

He took my hand and quietly said, smiling:,, You look amazing, angel.''

I lightly blushed:,, You too.''

He took the smile and we turned to face the priest. I remembered the song '' Have a little priest'' and tried my best to keep a straight face. I drifted in my thoughts as the priest started to yammer his long vows.

I snapped out of as the priest repeated the question to me:,, Do you, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, till death separates you?''

I nodded a little:,, I do.''

Sweeney gave me a worried look and then he turned to face the priest again.

,, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride.'' He closed the little book in his hands and smiled.

Sweeney tilted my chin up and brushed my worries away, kissing me. I felt my eyelids fluttering a little as he took my hand and guided out of the church.

I leaned against his arm, sighing happily:,, We did it, Sweeney. We really did it.''

He nodded and kissed my forehead.

We got to the guest house for the big celebration. It was time for our waltz. I didn't take my eyes of Sweeney's to feel safe. And he made feel safer than I needed as I saw softness, happiness and caring in them. After the dance was over the rest of the guests joined us on the dance floor. We danced with other wedding guests, when I felt a hand blocking my mouth, and the other hand dragging me outside in the cold night. I was so scared, when I got pressed against the wall. I saw that it was David.

,, So you are the bride thief this wedding?'' I raised an eyebrow.

,, Looks like it. So, you're married now…'' He sounded a bit sad.

I nodded.

He took my hand and asked:,, Well, while you're still newly wedded so not yet married, could you give me the last chance?''

I looked at him and said:,, Well, I don't know if we should be doing this, David, it's just that I…''

He interrupted me, by pressing his lips against mine. They were so warm and soft. I tried to resist, but something made me pull him closer to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me close, that our bodies were like glued to each other's. He kissed my neck, taking the advantage of my confusion and surprise. He was a lot different than I remembered him. He was more demanding, a little harsh, and the thing that really worried me was that the light blue color got replaced by smoky blue. He was slowly becoming a creep like Turpin. I heard footsteps around the corner and something made David collapse on the pavement. I looked to my left and saw Sweeney, hurt, angry and disgusted. I looked to the ground and saw David, lying there, with a bleeding nose. I felt tears forming in my eyes as I realized that he tricked me into cheating on Sweeney. He was a total Turpin's copy now.

I hugged him tightly, sobbing in his chest:,, Sweeney, I'm so sorry, he forced me. He got the hold of me, and tricked me. Please forgive me.''

He tilted my chin up, wiping the tears off my cheeks with his thumbs:,, I forgive you, angel. I told you he was trouble, but you didn't listen to me. Every judge is the same; perverted, disgusting, rapists.''

He stroked my hair as he quietly said:,, We need to teach him a lesson.''

I looked at him with teary eyes and shook my head:,, Please, Sweeney. Spare him. We'll get in trouble.''

He sighed:,, Not if we won't get caught. If you don't want to, don't look then. I'll make this quick.''

I nodded and tried to brace myself. Sweeney blocked David's mouth and with a flash slit his throat. David threw his eyes open and grabbed Sweeney's hand to get it off, but no use. He gurgled under his own blood and his grip on Sweeney's arm loosened as he closed his eyes forever.

I hugged him tightly and sobbed as he stroked my back, whispering:,, Shh. It's over now. He won't hurt you anymore. You're safe.''

He tilted my chin up and slowly kissed me deepening the kiss.

We both jumped and threw around as we heard Ann:,, You're married now, no need to hide this anymore, you know.''

We blushed and slowly followed he back inside. After the big party we got back home and I fell in the bed, exhausted from all the dancing and horror, seeing David dieing.

I felt Sweeney lying next to me, pulling me closer to him and whispering:,, Goodnight, Mrs. Todd.''

I giggled:,, Goodnight to you too, Mr. Todd.''

We both chuckled and kissed.

I was happy now.

I was Mrs. Todd.

To be continued...
