W.I.T.C.H. Wedding

Silver and Sorrow

Chapter 8

(Phobos' Palace/Will's Room)

In her room Will was being prepared for the wedding. These servants who worked for Phobos were there to help and suit her dress on. They carefully sewed, measured, smoothed, and readied her dress while she wore it on. The dress was long and it touched the stool that Will was standing on; it had long sleeves; the dress was all white with a little bit of sparkles on it; and on her head was a Vail that was long and went down to her back. In the mirrors that surrounded her, Will could see how she looked as could the servants. Will could also see the sad expression on her face as she looked at the mirror. She could see her emotions stand out right before her as she stared deep into the mirror. She knew that she didn't want to go through with this, but she had to if she were to save her friends and world from Phobos. Will could see the sorrow and pain from her reflection in the mirror. She felt sorrow because she would never see her friends, mom, and world again; and she felt pain because she would be marrying Phobos and lose the hearts powers all just to save her friends and world.

Suddenly the doors opened up and there was Phobos entering the room. When the servants saw Phobos coming in, they stopped what they were doing and moved out of his way. Phobos slowly began to walk over to where Will was standing. Will was aware of his presents, but stood where she was in calm, pain, and sorrow. When Phobos got too Will, he looked at her carefully before saying anything to her.

"I've never seen a more beautiful bride before in my life. You truly are a beauty to look at." He told Will who didn't bother looking at him.

"Hm, well isn't it bad luck to be looking at the bride before the wedding?" Questioned Will who still didn't look at Phobos, but she didn't lose her temper either.

"I only came in here to see how the servants were doing, and to give you this." Phobos told Will as he held out a box and then opened it up.

Will looked in the mirror to see what Phobos had and she saw something that was as beautiful as anything she'd even seen before. It was a necklace, but this one was very special. It sparkled like a twinkling star in the night, was as silver as a fine paint color, and in the center of it was a beautiful red gem that was as red as Will's hair.

"A marvalous piece of jewerly don't you think?" Asked Phobos to Will who still didn't look at him.

"If this is some way to get me on my god side and forgive you, then I don't even want to look at it." Will told him and that made Phobos a bit angry.

Although Phobos was angry, he just then closed his eyes and didn't say anything for a few seconds. Then he opened his eyes and took the necklace out of the box. He placed the box on a table next to him, and then held the necklace with both of his hands at both ends. When he did that, the necklace showed its beauty and shine. He then walked over to Will, got behind her, and then put the necklace around her neck.

"A queen-to-be should be wearing the proper jewerly for her crowning acheveiment." Phobos told Will as he finished getting the necklace around Will's neck.

Will looked up a little bit and put her hand on the necklace. She then closed her eyes and began to breathe heavily a bit. Just one touch of the necklace made Will feel more pain and sorrow. She began to have thought of her friends, her mom, and most of all, Matt. How could she even go through with this? She couldn't even look at herself without feeling pain, suffering, anger, and sorrow all at the same time. Was this really it for her? Was this really how it was all going to end?

"What have I gotten myself into? What have I done?" Will thought to herself with her eyes still closed and she found it even harder to breathe.

"Will, Will are you okay?" Asked Phobos who put his hand on her shoulder and that was when everything stopped.

Will quickly opened her eyes, slowed down her breathing, and then starred deep within the mirror.

"Are you okay Will, you seemed to be breathing heavily before? Is something troubling you my dear?" Questioned Phobos to Will who then slowly turned her head too Phobos and then changed her face to show anger.

"Am I okay? Is something troubling me dear? What do you think?!" Started Will who began to get really angry and then got down from her stool.

"Why are you asking such dumb questions like that?! You know what's wrong and you know what I'm feeling right now! Do you have any idea what's wrong with me?! I don't want to go through with this and yet I am! Not for you but for everyone I know and love! Why don't you just take another piece of my heart and rip it up into shreds?! You want to do that? Do you want to do that?!" Will cried out in frustration, anger, pain, suffering, and sorrow from everything that's happened and is about to happen.

Then Will got down on her knees and cried her eyes out even more then she did before. She was just so angry and upset at Phobos right now that if she had the powers of the heart with her, she'd beat the snot out of him. Oh yeah! She'd beat him up until he broke a bone or got a bloody nose. yet, this was all to much for her. Then Phobos grabbed Will's shoulders and pulled her up from her knees and onto her legs.

"Know you listen to me and listen well. Whether you like it or not, you're going to marry me and you'll make me the most powerful man of this world. If you refuse me or even try to escape, then your friends and your world will perish before me!" Phobos told her in anger and Will began to tremble and more tears fell from her eyes.

"Now you're going to marry me and we'll have no problems." He told Will who tried to calm down and control herself.

"Now do you understand?" Asked Phobos to Will who just closed her eyes and then nodded in agreement.

"Good, now the servants will finish getting you ready, and then two of my guards will come to get you." Phobos told Will as he let go of her shoulders and began to walk out of the room.

"Oh and one more thing Will." Started Phobos who was almost out of the room but just right by the doors that were still open.

"That necklace happens to be a special one. If you do try to escape from me, then it'll activate a hypnoses spell that'll put you under my control. So I'd suggest that you think this over before making any sudden moves there." Explained Phobos who smiled evilly and then left the room closing the door behind him.

Will stood where Phobos left her and didn't know how to react. The servants then moved out from where they were and got back to working on Will. They brought her over too the dresser, sat her down in a chair, and then started working on her makeup.

Can you believe this? Will's going to have to do this in order to save everything and everyone she knows and loves.

Can her friends save her in time?

Can they free her from Phobos' hold?

We'll find out soon enough in the next up coming chapters of W.I.T.C.H. Wedding.
