Chapter Two: Vesta's Blessing and Marlin's rampage.
" Congratulations!" Vesta yelled. She brought Owen into a large bear hug. Celia smiled and Marlin scowled in the corner. Owen started to gasp for breath and Celia started to laugh.
" Sorry about that." Vesta said dropping the young man. He stood up and sucked in a good bit of air. He sat down next to Celia and put his arm around his fiancé's waist. " You two have my blessings. So, Celia, when's the wedding?"
Celia sighed and looked at the handsome man beside her. Owen was about nineteen and her about eighteen. She thought about it some as Owen spoke up.
"Early summer maybe, or the fall." Celia smiled and kissed on the cheek. This made Marlin get up and leave. Vesta started after him, but Celia stopped her. The beautiful girl followed out the door. Owen followed suit. About five minutes later Vesta heard a horse going wild and Celia screaming.
Running outside, Vesta saw Owen in front of Celia protecting her from Marlin. Owen horse, Papa, was rearing up and neighing in front of a fallen Marlin. Owen comforted his horse and helped Celia on to it, climbing on behind her.
" I will be staying at Owen's house, I guess." Celia said as they rode off. Vesta waved good-bye and stooped over to help her brother up.
( At Owen's farm)
Owen was preparing the couch for bed. He placed an extra pillow on the couch and faced Celia.
" I'll sleep on the couch, you may have the bed." he said, smiling. Celia smiled back and kissed him on the cheek. He tucked her in and laid out on the couch. Soon falling asleep, the two slept soundly. Owen dreamt happy dreams while Celia had a nightmare.
Celia's Nightmare:
Celia was at the stove cooking supper. She sautéed the mushrooms as he loving husband came up behind her. His arms slipped under hers and and came to rest on her very pregnant belly. He smiles and kissed her on top of her head. Suddenly, Marlin busted in the front door. The two spun around as he threw Yasha's dead body on the floor. Celia gasped and Owen stepped up to confront the intruder. But as he did, Marlin pulled out a knife and plunged it into the other man's stomach. Owen turned around and smiled at his wife.
" I love you." he said before he collapsed to the floor, lifless. Celia cried and slumped into a corner. Marlin edge forward as she began to scream.
