I had felt awkward attending Kitty Walker nee Crane's wedding. I remember when she had asked me to marry her. I had felt pain afterwards because the wrong Walker sister had asked me. I had always dreamed of Ivy Walker would become Mrs Ivy Hunt. We are sitting on the hill as the newlyweds reach there private ceremony. She was sat with one of the elders and they were talking together. She wore a white dress like the rest of the ladies. Her hair was still loose but she wore a huge flower crown. She looked divine.
We're then ushered in to the venue. It was crowded especially when the dancing had begun. I watched her cry as she hugged her sister. I wanted to go up to her to and comfort her. I watched her most of the evening. I was surprised when her sister grabbed her had and took Ivy into the dance. She danced most of the night. Her laughter filled my ears it was like it was the only thing I could hear. She was dancing with one of the men who was her age. She then became distracted as if she heard something bad. Then everyone else heard it.
"Mr Walker!"Screams followed from the children outside.
Everyone started rushing to the exit. Ivy was trying to navigate through the crowds. She was trying to get out but couldn't. I walked towards her and grabbed her hand. I guided her through the crowd. To the front to find Mr Walker talking to the boys. I stood next to ivy.
"Can you boys stay close to Ivy, here? She'll tell you some funny stories and have you laughing soon."He said as the boys walked over. Ivy hugged the boys with a smile but a soon as they faced Mr Walker her face grew serious."We will return together" He said
I walked closely behind Ivy. My eyes scarcely leaves her body. We return to find livestock skinned and killed. Another warning. Ivy cannot see what is around her this is why I take her hand again.
