CHAPTER 11: GOIN TO THE CHAPEL
All four of them now are on their way their driving once more in the van right near toward their destination the Chapel in Seattle and toward a hotel nearby to stay the night till the wedding day. Everyone is quiet right now with a little on their minds except optimism on what their about to be soon.
Michael says, "Gabriel after everything we've been though I've admitted
I have had a lot of fear and doubts in my mind but
also, when the chips were starting to go down for us
I remembered all of the good times I had with R.M.
and realize that I want to keep making more memories with her."
Chris says, "Same here, I don't know anything now all I know is if
I don't marry Sofia I am going to regret it for the rest of my life."
"Before we get married tomorrow there is one last stop I have to make, I owe it to her."
They arrive at the Maratt hotel, after checking in Michael then takes the van and takes off. After about twenty minutes they arrive at the Seattle Cemetery. Both Michael walks toward the grave of his late feonsay Leah.
It's been years since I talked to you, I know I haven't visited in a while
Which is why what I'm about to do is painful.
Michael, he looks away a bit hesitant about what he must do at first, but then sighs and has his hand in his pocket. Then he looks back up at the gravestone.
"I came here to say goodbye, look I just want to say throughout my travels
I never forgotten you, you were the one that truly
helped me get thorough where I am now, after you were gone I honestly did
think I could ever get that feeling back again, I didn't think I really deserved it."
Michael he then takes his hand out of his pocket and look at the palm of his hand and breathes in a sigh but then looks back at the stone.
"But I did find someone, I did find that feeling again, and I very much want
To her to be a part of my life just as I want to be a part of hers. Much like we both
Use to be."
Michael then comes near the headstone and looks sadly upon it.
"Sure, nothing will be the same but may' be it will finally become a little better."
He then places his hand on the top of the headstone and then opens it gently and on top is one ring on the grave; an old engagement ring when both Leah and him were about to be married a long time ago. Michael then back away a few steps and gives a slow silent bow and then afterward then walks away slowly back toward the van. He comes back in and he looks at the grave from a distance but then takes out his wallet and then looks at it is seeing a picture of both him and R.M. smiling at the pier near the oceanic view in Seattle. Michael then has a small smile on his face and then he looks out the distance on the road and then drives away heading straight toward his destination toward the future.
Author's Note: That's the end of the third one, basically it's sort of the premise of the last time of freedom mixed in with "The Most Dangerous Game". With this one I wanted to show just a bit of that drama with all of them aware they are taking the next step; how scary it can be but how it's even more scary not to at all. But most importantly this story was a way to bring in another villain in the series, basically Satan himself, since he was no where around in "When Hell Freezes Over" I figured why not, even though he wasn't running things anymore he had to be doing something else. Well, that's all but not for this anthology.
