A Passion

Chapter 17 The Wedding and Fairy Tales Ending

Today was the big day; everyone was getting ready for it. Lily's parents were at the castle already, Guey had all his buddies waiting for him, and Lily, was a mess. It was six at night and the wedding started at six- thirty.

She really didn't want to get married to him. She wanted to be back with James, but she had already hurt him enough. If she were dying, at least she would die in Guey's arms. He would be a lonely bastard forever.

Time was running out fast. She was already ready for the wedding, but she couldn't stop herself from crying. She was wearing a long white wedding gown. The top went down on her shoulders, and it fit tightly on her waist. It came out a bit on the bottom and the back was longer than the front.

Her hair was half up. The top was in a whole bunch of twists and shaped into a crown. But she already had a small crown on. It was small, gold and had little diamonds in it. The bottom of her hair was down and in loose curls.

James walked the beach thinking about how he was going to get to her. After all Guey hated him, and probably had guards all over the damn place. They were having the wedding in the massive Theatre Room. He could always slip through a window, or he could go early. He looked up at her window, and noticed that there were still lights on.

He ran up to the famous balcony and crawled up the stairs quietly. He didn't want anyone to know he was coming. He peaked in the room, and noticed that she was sitting by her vanity. He walked in slyly and stood at the balcony doors.

She looked into the mirror and gasped. What was she going to do? She couldn't tell him that she was going to die. She couldn't tell him that Guey was planning on killing him. She panicked. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here cause I'm giving you something that I should have given you a long time ago." He put his hand in his pocket and took out what looked like small papers. "These are yours." He handed them out to her.

"What are they?" She asked curious, but she didn't take them. "They are called pounds. It's money we invented in Wales." She looked at him strangely.

"Take it." He said. "I don't want to, you keep it." She went to grab her veil, but cleared his throat. She turned to him. "Take it." Lily grabbed her veil and started walking out.

"I don't want it, it's yours, you keep it." She started walking, but he was right there with her, and if possible, not a centimeter away from her. "I'm paying you, you sold your love to me, isn't that right? You never loved me, you just sold your love, so now let me pay you like so many other guys have before me I should think." He whispered deadly. She kept walking, but a little faster.

"There have been no other guys, and I have not sold my love to you, I loved you, hear that, LOVED you, but now I really have to go." She told him, breathing a little heavier. It was getting harder and harder for her to breathe.

"Oh right, you are so full of it. You had just pretended to love me, now let me pay you." He was grabbing her arm, trying to put the money in her hand. She kept her hand closed, walking up stairs, panting.

"James, let go of me, you must go, you must go." She was gasping for air. "Not until you let me pay you. Just let me do it, and I'll go." He stumbled with her, and they fell on the steps leading to the Theatre Room. She panted and got up again. He was so close to her neck, whispering quiet and deadly.

"James, go, please!" She begged. She glanced towards the side corner, and she screamed faintly. Vladmeir was right there, holding a gun up, aiming at James. James didn't see, he was to busy whispering and trying to force money into Lily's hand. She pushed him into a little crevice. Right then, the Theatre's curtain flew to its sides and showed Lily and James. He was standing, holding her arm, and she was on the ground, basically on her knees/butt.

Lily was crying softly, her tears were rolling down her cheeks and her make up was just a little smeared. James had sweat rolling down his forehead. A bright light shined upon them. Everyone was staring at them in mixed feelings. Some were shocked, amazed or horror struck. Lily was looking down, and James was looking around at everyone. They were all sitting down, and Guey who was the groom, was standing in shock.

He glanced around, searching for Vladmeir, and when he found him, he signaled him to stop aiming for a second. James looked around once more, then to Lily, who was crying. He still had her arm in his hand.

He was stuttering from pain, and trying to hold himself from crying. "You were nothing to, to, me. You were unfaithful, and you, you, betrayed me. As I always said, 'The Greatest Thing You'll Ever Learn, Is Just To Love, And Be Loved In Return.' But you couldn't pay me back the favor. So now I'm going to go, and I hope I never see your untrust-worthy face again."

He sighed, then finished, "Th-thank you, for curing me, of my, my, rid- ridiculous ob-ob-obsession with Lo-Love." He held himself from crying, and threw the money to floor. It scattered all around her. He dropped her arm, and she started crying.

Remus came into her mind. She had remembered what he had said; 'The show must go on.' So she got up, and said screw it. She loved this man, and she wasn't going to loose him.

She swayed a bit; her head was dizzy from crying. She glanced back and saw that James was walking out of the Theatre Room. Everyone had turned back around to watch Lily. They all thought James had left.

Everyone was quiet. Until, "Never knew, I could feel like this," She sniffed. "It's like I've never seen the sky before, want to vanish, inside your kiss." She smiled a bit. She was looking at James. The audience was watching Lily, and James kept walking slowly.

"Everyday, I'm loving you more and more. Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing? Come back to me and FORGIVE everything!" She sang loudly. She gasped softly; she had lost her breath. "Seasons may change, winter to spring, I love you." She sang faintly. "Till the End of Time."

She looked down, hoping for an answer. Tears were still rolling down her cheeks, but more calmly. The audience was puzzled. Everyone was as quiet as a graveyard. But a sound was heard.

"Come what may." James sang softly. The audience turned around. They were surprised he was still there. She smiled to herself and looked up. "Come what may, come what may," He sang a little louder. "Come what may, I will love you."

"I will love you." Lily joined him. "Until my dying," he sang loudly, then Lily added, "Dying day." Lily's parents were so happy. "Come what may." They sang.

"Come what may." James sang loudly. "Come what may." Lily sang faintly, she had lost her breath again. "I will love you," Guey was making movements with his eyes, to have Vladmeir shoot James. "Until my dying day."

Vladmeir cocked the gun. Sirius and Remus had snuck in and were on the second floor. Sirius heard the gun and grabbed the nearest rope that hung down. He grabbed it and swung. "James! He's got a gun!" He was swinging and fell on the stage. He had slipped and knocked the gun out of Vladmeirs hands.

The gun went sliding, and one of the bridesmaids stomped on it. Vladmeir who was in a little ditch near the back/side of the stage went crawling after it.

Sirius stood up and said, "They are trying to kill you!" He pointed to Guey. "Shut up!" Guey said. "Guards seize them!" James and Lily turned towards him. Everything blew up. Fire crackers that were supposed to be for the wedding's after party, lights, and colored smoke went every where.

Everyone who was a part of the wedding screamed, but the audience was in awe. They thought it was some kind of play, and it was quite amusing. "Alright! No problem, go back to the wedding!" Remus said, as he burst threw the doors leading to the stage. Everyone turned towards Guey, who was backing up a little bit.

The audience was shocked, they were amazed. "No matter what you say," Sirius said as he pointed towards Guey. "The tale is ending our way!" The wedding people sang. Lily and James were in the front holding hands. "Come on and stand your ground, for freedom," They hit their chests, symbolizing Freedom. "Beauty, Truth and Love!"

"How wonderful life is," The back up singers sang. "One day I'll fly away!" Lily sang loudly, smiling. "My gift is my song!" James sang just as loud. "The children of the Revolution, no you won't fool the children of the revolution." The back up singers sang.

"One day I'll fly away!" Lily sang men lifted her on their shoulders and circled around. They did the same for James. She was holding James hand. "My gift is my song!"

"No you, won't fool, the Children of the Revolution!" The singers sang loudly again. "No you won't fool the Children of the Revolution." Lily smiled as glitter was falling gracefully down, the red and pink smoke had filled the stage. The audience was happy by the performance.

"Come what may!" They sang. "I will love you," Lily and James sang. "Come what may!" The wedding singers sang. "Yes, I will love you!" The lovers sang together.

A bridesmaid saw the gun, which Vladmeir was crawling towards, and kicked it. Guey was upset; he got up and started walking out. He had, had enough. As he was walking out, the gun slid behind him, as though it were following him. It stopped and Guey turned around. He saw it and picked it up.

"Come what may!" The singers sang once more, loud and proud. "I will love you!" Lily and James sang proudly. They were still twirling on men's shoulders.

Guey started walking towards them, holding the gun out at Lily and James, saying, "My way, My way, My way, My way!!!" As he cocked the gun, Remus came up and punched him right into the nose. Guey dropped the gun, and it went flying out the window. It flew straight into the air and out into the sea. It was lost forever.

"Until my dying day!" Lily and James finished. They kissed. The audience awed. Lily's parents were so happy for her. James proved to be a loyal and trust-worthy husband. The men let them down, and everyone backed away from Lily and James.

James bent down on one knee and took out a golden velvet box. He opened it, and inside it held a diamond ring. "Princess Lillian Hope AnnaElise Evans, will you marry me?" Lily was in shock. She didn't know what to say. She glanced at her father, and he nodded. She smiled and said, "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return."

She paused and finished, "I will always love you in return, and yes James, I accept." He let out a huge grin and picked her up. He twirled her and kissed her. Everyone in the audience was crying with joy. Not to mention Queen Patience. She was in a crying fit. Guey walked out and never came back, he had lost her.

James slipped the engagement ring on her and said, "It fits perfectly." Lily nodded and whispered. "Fairy Tales always have their happy endings."
