Now in dark Jeans, Deep gray Turtle neck, Black jacket zipped up to her throat, dark red toboggan, and black fingerless Gloves. She was taking walk in the woods around the manor to clear her thoughts and remember her vows. But she kept getting confused, her thought swirled like a storm.
"With this hand, I'll take your wine, ugh no. With this candle I'll ignite your… wait, that's not it, why can't I remember?"
She stood under a great tree, a breeze made her shudder. Winter was well here but there was no snow just yet. She hated the cold, but she needed to be alone more. she still had the leggings under her jeans and 2 pairs of knee-high socks and warm black boots.
She came to tree she would pass on her walks, she sits here to read or draw or just be there and listen to music while she though and cleared her head. This place just always seems so welcoming for some odd reason, which is why she came here. To practice them.
"Well I don't suppose you could help me" she said to tall tree. She sighed and sat down on a tree root thinking she pulled out the rings Vlad gave her. Staring at them she was filled with resolve, she may not love Max but they could as least be friends for their families. She would do this for her Uncle. He did his best to make her happy in the 5 years she lived with him, she could try to return the favor.
She rose and recited the vows.
"With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine" She got it right she felt way better now.
She used a branch as a makeshift candle and pretended to light it. "With this candle I will light your way in darkness."
She noticed an odd, hand-like tree root and smiled. "With this ring, "she knelt in front of it "I ask you to be mine." She finished it and placed the male ring on the root. You can totally do it now… sort of.
When she stood she turned to see bird in the trees had stopped what they were doing to stare at her. She looked at the quizzically until something took her right hand and pulled the entire arm into the ground.
Panicked she tried to desperately pull it out then realized what grabbed her had her by her jacket, so she quickly got it off. She stood there panting then herd pounding form the ground, like whatever grabbed her was trying to get out. The only reason she wasn't comfortable is because she wasn't really scared.
Then a hand, cold and blue with death, burst out where the root had been and clawed at the ground. Then a body slowly followed it. The head was bowed so the shadows concealed the face, broad shoulders followed then slowly came the rest of it. The thing was a man, when he lifted his head you could see a small part of flesh was torn on the right side of his jaw and on the left side of his head a very small patch of skull was exposed. He wore Black pants a white shirt with a black tie and jacket with a few tears.
He starred at her with a loving gaze and said, "I do." He reached out to her, and she ran as fast as she could. She tripped and hit her head on a nearby rock.
"Are you okay?" she looks to see the corpse behind her. So she gets up and runs faster than she thought she could. While looking over her shoulder a low hanging branch waked her in the eye, blurring her vision. Then the corpse followed her with her jacket in hand, terrified she started to run again.
Almost tripping a couple of time and tearing her sleeve and small part of her jean leg she made it out of the woods to the outermost part of the lawn. She turned breathing heavy, no one was behind her, like it didn't happen. Mabey she imagined it, only you could imagine a handsome zombie Cass. To many horror movie and books and too much death meatal music.
With a sigh she turned and almost ran into the corpse.
She jumped back and got a look at him. He was indeed handsome except for the skin tone, matted navy blue hair, and missing skin. Yes, he was actually still very handsome. He held her jacket, "Glad I finally caught up."
Cassie's brain seemed to shut down after that, and she started leaning toward the ground. She didn't feel him catch her before she face planted into the cold soil.
He took his bride in his arms, this wasn't how it was supposed to go. Better get her home.
Then he heard yelling and saw a big guy barreling toward them and he said something about leaving her alone. So he turned and disappeared in swirl of blue black birds to the land of the dead before he reached them.
