Graycynn's Point of View
I pulled out of the drive way at record speed, grinning at Kestrel the entire time. A frightened look on her face kind of made me think she wondered if she could barrel roll from the car and still be alive. I smirked, shrugged and flew down the highway; kestrel looked completely and utterly scared, so I slowed for her sanity. The sun was glinting off the highway as well as the hills. I yawned and got a stern look from Kestrel, so I quickly latched my jaw shut mid-yawn.
"Do you want to be alive for you're wedding?" she questioned fiercely.
"Yes please" I said smiling and turning my head back to the road.
"Then eye's on the road Mario" she said. I looked at her oddly.
"Mario Andretti, famous Race car driver" she remarked somehow knowing I was about to ask. I shook my head and looked back at the road.
"How many people are going to be at this thing?" she asked seeing her looking at me out of the corner of my eye.
"About 30-40" I said calmly.
"What?" she said looking at me.
"I thought this was going to be small" she said adding.
"Well it was planed to be but, his family, my family" I said looking at her quickly.
"What time is it?" I asked kestrel keeping my eyes on the road remembering that we had to be quick. We had just hit suburbia with moms and dad's on the front lawn weeding there gardens and children riding there bikes on the paved street. I sighed looking out the window getting semi- lost in thought I smile to my self continuing down the windy road.
"11:21" she said looking down.
"Alright I'll have to be quick" I said and she tilted her head sideways.
I flew around a few corners and went through a few red lights making my appointment just on time. I ran into the little shop kestrel tagging quickly behind. The cashier gave me a distained look and grimaced down at her sheet.
"Graycynn and Kelsey" she said quickly and looking up at us both, I had to admit I probably didn't look the best. But that was no reason to give me that look. I mustered the happiest look I could and nodded.
"O its Kestrel" I said correcting her, the grimace on her face was disappearing slowly.
"Yes of coarse, I'm sorry Kestrel" she said slowly looking to kestrel, but she just smiled.
"Wedding?" the cashier asked. I beamed
"yes" I said smiling she smiled softly and waved her hand in.
"Maddie" the cashier called, and a little brunette hustled out of the back room smiling.
"Ah Graycynn" she said smiling I walked over slowly to the chair.
She did both of our hair quickly exactly how I wanted it, Wavy and glossy I smiled at the little intricate beads and hair clips through my hair they made it all flow. I grinned at kestrel who's hair also looked pretty, it was in a lose bun with strands falling around her face, I always thought she was prettier than me, she always looked happy and had sparkling eyes a perfect smile and was a great person. I quickly paid and we drove to the chapel as fast as we could we got there at about a quarter to two. I ran to the little wooden room in the back of the church it smelt like old men I covered my nose and headed through seeing my mother perched on the edge of a small chair in the corner. She was wearing a pretty skirt with a white shirt a clenching a napkin in hand. She eyes were red and puffy and I was pretty sure she had been crying, but she smiled when I walked in. my wedding dress was lying on the bed with my sliver shoes I smiled.
"How are you sweetheart" my mother said quickly, it sounded like a sob but she quickly hid it.
"Great, how are you mom?" I said looking at her walking over to where she was sitting. She inhaled softly.
"I'm good, happy" she said smiling a great big smile tears still running down her pale cheeks.
"Why are you upset" I said looking at her, she looked away then looked back probably thinking a way to ignore the question or pretend she never heard it. She shuffled her feet.
"Hormones I'm excited but kind of sad we just started to have a real relationship and it happened over such a bad circumstance" she said pausing still shuffling her shoes.
"Well you know stuff like that happens, it's not like we won't talk or anything, I'll still phone. See you from time to time" I said thinking about what to say she looked at me seriously for a minute.
"Do you actually love him, instead of pretending to for me and your father" she said looking at me tears were about to overflow from her eyes.
"I do, I love him more than anything" I said softly. Slowly the tears became less frequent and she gathered composer.
"Should you know since you have you're weird mind thing?" I asked looking at her.
"I promised not to use it on you, so I'm not" she said smiling. I used to think my mom never really thought of me as a daughter I always thought she thought of me as an investment or a puppy. I knew how she thought know though I smiled at my thoughts and started to hum to myself. My mom looked down at her watch then back up at me with a panic stricken face.
"Its ten minutes to" she said standing quickly. My eyes opened wide and I quickly stripped not caring if Kestrel or my mother saw. I stripped fast and carefully took my dress from the bag; I watched the ruffles and the beading on the edge successfully pulling it out of the bag without damaging it. I put my feet inside and pulled it up. The dress was stiff and fit well hugging in the right places and I felt beautiful and comfortable the perfect balance. I smiled at myself in the mirror seeing my perfect vision of what this would be like. I breathed in and out slowly as I started to hear everyone pile into the small church and the sound of the music gently floating down the stairs. I grinned and tried not to jump up and down. Kestrel was already up out side the doors waiting for her que, I waited all jittery.
