AN: There as been some disappointment over the fact that Selari and Jaenelle didn't meet in the last chapter. But it didn't seem like the right time. It will happen despite what dome people might thing.
I asked last time weather or not I should write Jerrid's wedding in or not. There will be a wedding, well sort of, and sort of not. It's mostly about the wedding, but I don't write the ceremony and stuff like that.
Italics are the private communications between the Blood
Italics are normally used for the Blood, it will just be the other part of Selari
Bold lettering is when inanimate objects are speaking (Selari's replies will also be in bold)
Chapter 16
Formal Wear
Why, why oh why did this have to happen, Selari drastically thought. It was horrible; it was just…just…just so pink.
She was currently dressed in this abomination. It was the worst dress in the universe and she was being forced to wear it. The thing was pink, fluffy, and frilly all in one. They had put her hair up in pink ribbons and such. But it was Elise's day and she was to get whatever she wanted and that was that, according to Yeta that is.
The wedding would begin in an hour and Selari still had one more thing to do. She had to go fetch Divear. That was going to be fun, real fun. It had taken her forever to convince him to come. But once she had mentioned that it would be better if he was there that way he could keep an eye out for her. He had thought that was reasonable since she seemed incapable of staying out of trouble. Of course Selari had found that insulting, but she had refrained from commenting on it since he now seemed willing to come.
So she left her room with the intention of going to get Divear. She got no further then the living room.
"Where do you think that you're going?" Yeta demanded. Selari stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her mother.
"To get my friend, the one I told you about, remember." She told her. Yeta shook her head at this.
"I don't think so it took me all day to get you just right. And I will not have you going out in the mud and messing it all up. Plus you could ruin your dress."
"But I need to go get my friend he's expecting me, if I don't show he might get worried."
"He," Yeta scowled at her daughter.
Mother Night, she had to go and say he didn't she. It was just her luck that she would mess up.
"Yes, he. Didn't Jerrid mention that Divear was a he." Selari asked innocently, before wincing there was another mistake. She knew that it was a mistake when she saw her mother wince.
"Divear!" she practically screeched. "I know that that name id an Eyrien's. What do you think that your doing with an Eyrien?"
Selari knew that her mother never liked Eyrien's. Selari wasn't sure why but that was the way that her mother was and she didn't want her children hanging around with them either. Ok, Selari thought lets try not to announce something else that Yeta shouldn't hear. Like the fact that Divear was older then she was. That seemed like a good plan.
"Yes, Mother he is an Eyrien, you don't have a problem with that right. Because you know Jerrid went to all that trouble to invite him and all. He would be very disappointed if Divear didn't show up for the wedding. And well if Jerrid isn't happy, then Elise won't be happy and you do know that this is Elise's day and you wouldn't want to ruin it." Selari said sweetly.
Yeta frowned at what Selari had said, for it was true. In fact Yeta had used almost the same thing when telling Selari that she had to wear the dress.
"Fine, but you can't go get him, somebody else as to. For I will not have you going out and ruining your dress." Selari started to object to this, but Yeta continued. "No, objections Selari are I don't sent anyone to go get him." That promptly made Selari shut her mouth. There was no way in hell that Divear was getting out of coming to this wedding. If she had to suffer then so did he.
"Lets see I think that I'll just send Jerrid to go find him. After all Jerrid isn't dressed yet and happens to be the only one not dressed. He should already be dressed, but no he says that there will be plenty of time to get ready and that he didn't need two hours to get into some clothing." Yeta complained out loud to herself.
Selari left her there to go find Jerrid. She found him in his room lying down in his bed, still in normal clothing. He was playing with his thumbs. In other words he was doing nothing of real great importance.
"Jerrid," she called to him. He didn't look up. In fact it didn't even seem like he heard her. So she called again. "Jerrid." Still no reaction. So she walked up to his bed and stood next to it looking down at him. "JERRID!" she screamed. That made him jerk up to a sitting position. She smiled at him when he turned to glare at her.
"Mother Night, Selari. Did you have to scream, your standing right next to me." He told her with a glare.
"I did try to get your attention in a normal way, but you didn't hear me." She told him, still smiling.
"Doesn't mean that you had to yell, you could have just shaken my arm or something like that. Something that wouldn't ruin my hearing." He commented, still glaring at her.
"But Jerrid my way was more fun." She said sweetly. Jerrid looked at her, as though for the first time since she had entered the room. He looked her up and down and then stared at her with a look of disbelief.
"What in the world are you wearing?" he asked. Selari grimaced and looked down at the dress as well.
"I'm wearing a dress." She told him.
"I know that, but what's wrong with it. It's not right, no person should ever have to wear something that hideous."
"Well I didn't choose it, your future wife did." She muttered. He glanced at her for a second before he laid back down on her bed.
"Yep, just what I thought, it's the most beautiful dress that I have ever seen." He told her without looking at her.
Selari laughed at his sudden change of opinion. Once he knew that Elise had chosen it, then it was the most beautiful dress that he had ever seen.
"Jerrid you do know that you're a horrible liar, right." She laughed, "Any ways you have to go get Divear."
"Why?" he asked without moving.
"Cause,"
"Cause why?"
"Cause,"
"Cause why? It's my wedding day shouldn't I like have to do nothing."
"Cause if you don't I will make your wedding day a living nightmare," she told him sweetly.
"No problem I can get him right now," he said standing up and walking over to his closet.
"I knew that you would see it my way," she smiled as he put on his jacket.
"Of course I couldn't see it any other way," he said loudly, "You little heathen." He mumbled softly.
"I heard that Jerrid," she cried after him as he left his room.
"Your point being," he called back.
"That you will pay for that little comment." And then he was gone.
Jerrid walked into the clearing. This is where he was suppose to meet Selari. Yet he wasn't here. Where was he didn't he know that there wasn't all that much time left. Jerrid still had to get ready.
He started pacing around the clearing. Waiting for Divear to show up. If he ruins this day for me, I shall kill him, Jerrid thought. Well, try any ways. For he was talking about an Eyrien here, and they were born warriors. Jerrid was not a born warrior. Yep in a fight with Divear he didn't stand a chance.
Jerrid sighed impatiently. He was getting off track. His mind kept wondering to the strangest things. Where in the world was he? He was suppose to be here be now.
"Where is Selari?" a voice asked form behind him. Jerrid turned sharply on his heels to look behind him.
Jerrid was face to face with Divear. His face was a mask of indifference and he stared at him without a trace of emotion. He was sort of scary. Ok, not sort of, is scary.
"She's back at the house. I was sent to come get you." He told Divear. Then Jerrid looked at him. He was wearing a long white sleeve shirt; it was partially open to reveal his chest. He was wearing an ebon-gray jacket that had no sleeves. His pants were black leather and his shirt wasn't even tucked in. Didn't Selari tell him that it was formal wear?
"Why?" he asked.
"Because I was the only one not dressed."
"Aren't you the one getting married." It wasn't a question, more of a statement.
"Yes," he answered any ways.
"Then shouldn't you have already be ready?" he questioned.
"Yep, which means that I have to get back to the house, so if you would come with me." He said turning around and leaving the clearing. Jerrid didn't bother to look back and see if Divear was following him, Jerrid knew that he was there. Watching his every move.
"So Divear is that what your wearing to the wedding?" he asked after a few minuets of uncomfortable silence.
"Yes, why do you have a problem with it?" he asked.
"No, but if I were you I would stay away from my mother. She will probably skin you alive if she knew that you were wearing that for the wedding."
"I doubt that, but I will keep what you have said in mind." He said.
For the rest of the trip back to his house they didn't speak, there was only silence. But when they did get there, Divear said that he was going to wait outside. Jerrid was grateful for that, he really didn't want to hear his mother yelling it was just not a good thing.
Selari watched him from her window. He was just standing there leaning against the wall. He scared away any one that dared to come near him with just one look. It was really funny the way they all started walking really fast, trying not to seem like they were running.
She left the window intending to go and rescue him.
Once out there she stared at him more closely. He just looked at her with shock on his face.
"That's not formal," "What in the hell are you wearing?" they said at the same time. They grinned at each other.
"This is as formal as I will ever get," he muttered still looking at Selari's pink and frilly dress.
"That isn't even formal." She pointed out stubbornly.
"Maybe not to you, but it is to me." He grumbled.
"It isn't just me you know, nobody would believe that that is formal. You know I shouldn't have been the only one of us that dressed formal. It's unfair." She frowned at him, like she was disappointed in him.
"Every things unfair, deal with it." She stuck her tongue out at him. "Yes and that's what we call being a mature person." He said grinning at her.
"I am not going to stand around and be insulted by you. I had come out here to keep you coming, but now I've changed my mind, you can stay out here all by yourself, and see if I care." She told him, storming back inside.
Divear just laughed at her.
The wedding was going well, until the bride started to walk down the isle. It was the only thing that went wrong with the whole ceremony that threatened to ruin the whole thing. It was a typical thing that could happen and what every bride who's having an outdoor wedding worries about. The rain.
Elise had been half way down the isle when the first droplets started. Elise stopped when she felt the first drop. Selari noticed that she turned sort of pale. And that Elise had the look that she was about to run. Elise was definitely starting to panic.
Selari had to stop this, but what could she do.
You could just stop the rain. You know convince it to go away.
"I can't do that, do you know how much that would effect a lot of other places, it could disastrous." Selari told him.
"Then how about we convince the Rain not to rain around this specific area, but everywhere else.
"I could try that. " she sounded a bit reluctant.
Five minuets later…
"The rain said that it could do that. Temporarily of course. We have thirty minutes."
The rain it seemed to the people at the wedding at stopped. What they didn't notice was the fact that it was still raining about 2 feet away surrounding the wedding.
Elsie looked around and smiled. She then continued on down the isle.
How did you convince the Rain to stop around this area? I have tried convincing the rain to stop thousands of times; it never listened to me. Why would it listen to a child over me, the Great and Mighty Wind.
"Oh it was really easy. The Rain didn't mind stopping just around this area, it didn't really matter." She grinned inwardly at the next part. "And the reason that he never listened to you before is that he doesn't like you, your always blowing him places he doesn't want to be. And that you never let him go where he wants to go. Me on the other hand he likes. I've never told him what to do. "
The Wind all of a sudden went away. He wasn't in a very good mood at the moment. Selari glanced past the area where it wasn't raining to the raining area. It had all of a sudden gotten very windy out there and the rain was just going every which way. Even though that happened the rest of the wedding had gone on with no further complications. They made it to the building where they were holding the reception barely getting wet at all.
It was there inside that Selari's other half spoke to her again.
"Did you really have to rub it in his face. Wait…does he even have a face? Well either way you know what I mean."
"Yes, I think that I did. For the last couple of week all we have been doing is what he wants, this is just my way of getting revenge." Revenge can be a very sweet thing.
AN: That's the end of this chapter. I don't think that it was much of Jerrid's wedding, but just a bunch of random things. I don't think that this chapter had really much point, but I had fun writing it.
Any ways, I would like to point out that this time it only took me a week to update this time. And so at this time I would ask you all to review, review, review…
