A/N Hey guys! Sorry if it took me a bit long getting this chapter up I've been preoccupied with making my mom something for her birthday its taking me longer than expected lol So enjoy and let me know what you think!
Dee's POV
"I smell," I said then sniffed twice "Skanks. Why don't you chicks pack it up before I leave tred marks on your face?" (Kudos to anyone who can tell me where I got this sentence from!!) I said wrinkling my nose to the two chicks who had been hounding Embry all last night and now just minuets before the wedding. They looked up at me shocked, "And who are you?" the one with the platinum blonde hair asked. "His girlfriend, and the sister to the bride." I said, as if they didn't know that already. "Like I'm supposed to care? Clearly if you cared at all about him you wouldn't have left him alone." The brunette said. I turned my glare towards her. "Being the maid of honor has certain responsibilities, as if you would ever find out. Let me guess, the only reason you came was to try and pick up guys because clearly the four that you're already with aren't able to please you enough so you are trying to find more. Well guess what, all four of those guys you're dating, and cheating on, came to the wedding. And are over there," I said and pointed to the back of the room by the bar, "All of them waiting for you. So enjoy." I said with a sick sadistic smile.
I was grateful that my powers seemed to multiply by 1,000 after I transformed for the first time. I could tell anyone's future just by looking at them if I wanted to. It was great. The brunette looked into the direction I pointed and nearly screamed. "How did you know…?" she began, turning a wild eye look towards me. I gave her a half truth, "They asked me why you were over here flirting with other guys." Of course, the conversation with those guys lasted a lot longer than that, and there was more detail to it, but she didn't need to know. "You bitch." She spat and started walking away. I waved towards the blonde, "Bye bye now Blondie, make yourself at home with the guy over there that has been checking you out since you walked through the door." I said and pointed to a guy who didn't really look half bad who was indeed checking Blondie out. She huffed, stomped her foot slightly and left.
I leaned into Embry and started laughing. "Oh it's so much fun messing with women sometimes." I sighed. Embry nibbled my ear. "Oh I'm sure it is, but it's almost time for the ceremony." He told me. Oh crap I almost forgot. "Alright." I said and turned around to kiss him. "Your beautiful." He reassured me. I smiled and kissed his cheek. "Hopefully as beautiful as you are handsome." I said with a wink and turned around and walked away from him, listening to his soft chuckles.
I went into where the bride, my sister, was putting last minute touches on her hair and makeup. "As always," I began, "you look positively stunning." I told her and rubbed her shoulders while looking at her face through the mirror. She smiled. "I'm so glad you came." She told me. "I don't know if I would have been able to get through the past two days without you." She told me and turned around. I hugged her softly, "I know you will do the same for me when it's my time." I told her. "Now, let me get a good look at you!" I said enthusiastically and stepped back.
She was wearing a very old fashioned, almost pagan style wedding gown. It was made of silk and lace, and was intractably put together, in the color of a white tan, darker in some places than in others. The front of the dress, in the bust line and down the torso was designed like a corset. It was long-sleeved and looked as though it would blow beautifully outside with the slight spring breeze. (A/N I put up a link for the picture of her dress and Dee's if you would like to see them!)
My sister looked almost like a goddess with her long brown hair curled and hung down her back and in the front of her over her shoulders. She made her lips a dark red, and her eye shadow was a few shades darker than the dress. Her necklace seemed to match perfectly with her dress. The chain part wasn't a chain at all, but was made of white pearls, and in the center hung a magnificent topaz piece that was in the shape of a diamond, with tons of little diamonds surrounding it. It was beautiful. Her earrings were much smaller than the pendant but matched just the same in a chandelier style. She looked amazing.
I looked at myself in the mirror and was pale in comparison, but that didn't matter. Today was her day, and no one ever outshines the bride. My dress was simple, but like hers. It was short sleeved, only three inches on the shoulders, and the chest area was like my sisters, in a corset design. It was made of silk, and was a very pale blue shade. It clung to my hips and then flowed down wider at the bottom. When I spun in circles it fanned out beneath me. I wore a simple diamond heart pendant, and chandelier earrings that matched. My hair was done in a bun, and my makeup done to match the dress. My lips were a dark plum color, as I wore light blue eye shadow to match the dress. I wore three rings that sparkled when the light hit them just right, and my normal silver charm bracelet that my mother had given me. I looked simple, yet elegant, and in no way nearly as goddess looking as Kassia.
"You are stunning.'' I told her. "Your Tim is going to want you more than ever when he sees you." I teased. She looked at me with humor in her eyes, "Well of course, why else would I have picked this dress?" she said and laughed. There was a soft knock at the door, followed by Kassia's half brother Richard. (He and I were in no way related. He came from both a different mother, who was Kassia's mother, and a different father that no one new where he was.) "Its time." He said. I nodded. Richard would be escorting Kassia down the aisle, considering my father and her haven't talked in years. "You will do amazing." I whispered to her as Richard rushed me out. I was to be in the head of the line, holding onto one of the best man's arms, and then Kassia's friend Carry would be behind me, then her other friend Layla, both of them holding onto best men's arms like I was. We also held in our hands bouquets of white roses that were handed to us at the door leading to the aisle.
The wedding was Celtic Pagan theme, which explains why the dresses were so old fashioned looking. I walked down the aisle, looking this way and that and when I saw Embry I smiled widely then turned and face the front as we came to a stand still then took our places while we waited for Kassia. I smiled up at Tim and winked "She looks amazing." I whispered and turned around, waiting for him to see for himself.
He gasped as the doors opened and she was reviled. She smiled and only had eyes for him as Richard led her to the Altar. They exchanged their vows (sorry people but vows sometimes just take too long to write out) and then the real party began. Kassia and I went to change as everyone went for the food and beer.
Kassia and I basically wore the same dress only in different colors. Hers was a lighter purple, while mine was black around the edges with red on the torso. We picked these out on the internet together years ago and were surprised that we remembered them. He laughed while we helped each other change and decided that for my wedding we would wear these dresses again for the reception dinner. A tradition in the making, I could see it already.
Embry, of course, was waiting for me with a drink by the door of the dressing room. I smiled and took the drink from him. "Careful. There is whiskey in it." He warned. Kassia walked out as he said that. She laughed, "YOU might want to be careful." She said and started walking away. I laughed. Embry looked at me confused. "What is THAT supposed to mean?" he asked. "Well, she could have meant a few things. One, be careful because I could probably out drink you. Whiskey is nothing to me until I've had about 10 shots. And, she could have meant because I drink so much beware of me wanting more because of the cost. Or, she could have meant be careful if I get drunk off this stuff because I can… become a freak." I said and began walking after my sister with a big smile plastered on my face. "Well then, I should order more later on tonight when we go to our hotel room." He said huskily.
When he used that voice, I felt a tingling sensation near my belly, I felt lust. "You don't have to get me drunk for that." I chuckled. "Oh I know, but I want to see you be even more of a freak than usual." He said and opened the door for me. I couldn't help it. I burst out laughing, almost spilling the drink. He chuckled with me and took hold of my elbow and led me towards the tables to sit down and eat.
Everyone ate and danced, and then it was time for the toasts. I was going after the best man. I was starting to get nervous. "I've known Tim for most of my life. And I must say that he made a good choice in deciding to marry Kassia, who has also become a friend of mine. She keeps him AND me in check! Now that's hard to do! Anyways, over the years I've single handedly watched their love grow, and I can tell that they are soul mates. Way to go bro." The best man Ryan said for his toast. Everyone cheered, and Tim hugged him saying his thanks, as did Kassia.
He sat down and I stood up, it was my turn. I took a deep breath and began my toast, "When I received the invitation to Kassia's wedding in the mail, I was ecstatic. They were finally making it official! Even though I didn't get to watch them together or even meet Tim before yesterday, I knew it was right. I KNEW they were making the right choice. From day 1 Kassia has told me all about Tim, and I agree with Ryan, they ARE soul mates. I have watched them together the past few days and they just seem to shine together. When Kassia blushes, Tim's eyes seem to sparkle in response. He watches her while she laughs and looks at her with the look of 'My god how did I get so lucky?' Kassia, you deserve this, no matter what you think. You both deserve each other. So be happy, together. I love you both. And, Time, thank you for making my sister shine." I finished with a smile. Kassia had tears running down her face and Tim looked quite near close to it. Kassia and Tim both hugged me, said they loved me too, and Tim said to me "I will always strive to make her shine." And smiled. I smiled back at him. He had no idea how much respect I had for him at that moment.
Embry pulled me back down into my seat so that others could make their toasts. He rubbed my back and gave me more Whiskey, which I was thankful for. How he got a hold of it in the first place, I could only guess is: they didn't card him. Soon, he and I were on the dance floor dancing away to our hearts content. This day I would remember for the rest of my un-naturally long life.
