Disclaimer: You've heard it all before. I only own Neill, Bob, Ned and Fred
(and a few of the mob).
Ch 9 hitched
Bob was running down the hill away from the castle as quickly as she could, she saw many of the so-called brave men also running away. She couldn't believe what had happened, she saw her best friend dead on the bad. At least she hoped she was dead. Although death was bad being made into one of the Creature's slaves was worse. She hated to think of what that monster had done to her friend. She refused to think about what it must have been like for Fred to suffer that.
She turned to look behind her and saw her future husband running behind her with the still flaming torch in his hands. She couldn't believe that he had just abandoned her friend like that. After every thing he had promised her he couldn't even so something so simple as rescuing a young woman from the evil creature.
When they reached the village Bob stopped running and waited for Edward, her future husband to catch up. When he did she pushed him to the floor.
"How could you just leave her there? She was my friend and you just left her?" She screamed at him.
He pushed her off him and stood up straightening his coat as he did so. He looked down at her and bent down and grabbed her wrist. He pulled her to her feet and she struggled slightly to get away from his strong grip. He looked her in the eye with an angry look on his face before letting her go and saying,
"Go get that stuff off you and get cleaned up for our wedding."
"Wedding?"
"We made a deal my love. Now it is your turn to please me." He walked away before she could say anything in protest and she stood there for a minute trying to figure out some kind of sense from what had happened and what was going to happen.
Edward was not the same man she had made the promise to earlier that day, she didn't want to marry him. She didn't know him let alone like him. She was beginning to realise what a big mistake she had made. Her friend was dead or undead and now she had to marry this loser she had made a promise to in a moment of passion and anger. She couldn't understand what had made her do it.
She looked around her to see that there were people shouting in disappointment at not being able to bring back the Creature dead. They could not understand why they had failed. They seemed to cheer up when some women brought along some beer for them to drink themselves into a coma and forget everything that happened that night. Bob wished she could do it but she had to marry Edward. How could she go back on her word?
She suddenly became aware that she was still covered in blood which was now dry and clinging to her. She could even smell the foul stench that was covering her body. She didn't even want to think about what she looked like. She was tired, upset and covered in blood that an angry mob had thrown at her and she hadn't even been used as bate. Nothing was right about this night at all. And now Edward wanted to get married right then and she really didn't want it. The promise of wealth and security no longer appealed to her now she had seen what the man was really like.
She walked off through the crowds towards her house. At least it was over and she could change out of the clothes she was wearing. And into her wedding gown. She didn't even have a wedding gown, she didn't know what he expected her to wear. As she walked in the front door she saw Ned sat on a stool quietly and staring off into space.
"Did you have a nice evening?" She said coldly.
"Ned.I'm sorry. Fred.she went to the castle. He was waiting for her."
"Wrong. He was waiting for you and your mob but Fred went instead and now she's dead. But look on the bright side, at least you're alright. Happy wedding day by the way. He's in the bedroom waiting for you." She stood up and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Bob asked.
"To prepare a goodbye for our.my friend." She said sharply and slammed the door behind her.
Bob walked into the bedroom to find Edward waiting, he was dressed in a bright red jacket and actually looked quiet handsome, not that Bob really cared. She walked past him and he grabbed her arm.
"Do you not wish to see your wedding gown my love?" He held up a white dress. "Put it on. Now. People are waiting and I don't like to keep people waiting."
She took it from him knowing there was no point in arguing and went and got dressed. When she emerged there was no compliment but he just rushed her outside to a waiting group of people who cheered. They were obviously all drunk or being paid to be there, or possibly both.
Edward rushed her to where the priest was waiting and told him to hurry up.
Within five minutes they were wed and Edward kissed her roughly on the lips before dragging her away from the clapping crowd and towards his house. As she was leaving she saw Ned watching her from the other side of the crowd. Her friend was certainly not happy with what was going on and she looked truly angry when Bob tried to her attention.
The realisation hit her, she had lost her two best friends in one night. She was getting married to someone she now couldn't stand just because of one stupid night and now she felt completely alone. Things couldn't get much worse for Bob. At least that was what she thought.
