For the first time, Aiden looked down at the other party's finger which was wrapped tightly around his wrist.
"Hey! What's wrong with your arm??? The skin, its gray!!!"
"It is death."
Aiden thought that the other party was kidding him.
Maybe this was a prank??
Yeah, that must be the case...
Those darn frat boys must be behind all of this sick joke!
But as Aiden looked at the other party's skin, he saw something underneath it move!
He let out a gasped and staggered backward.
What's wrong with you?!! What is wrong with your skin?!!!!'
Aiden exclaimed as he was already literally freaking out this time.
There was a break in the mist and for the first time, Aiden had a clear look at the old lady before him.
He finally realized what was wrong with the other party.
She was a corpse!
Aiden stared at the other party standing before him in a surreal state of shock.
His lower jaw nearly fell to the ground from shock and he widened his mouth so wide that it almost seemed as if he was a fish that had fallen onshore
It was only at that time that realization suddenly dawned on him.
The urban legend was true!!!!
He shook his head as he said stuttering,
'I--I--I m-made a mistake... I h- ha- had no i-idea. I thought it was----
"A legend?? A fiction story inspired by web novel?"
The other party who was apparently a corpse queried as she finished Aiden's statement.
"YES!"
Aiden nodded his head desperately as he hopes that the other party would understand his predicament and will just let him go.
"Sorry, my child. But by standing there in that groom's attire waiting for her Highness, you have already acted out your vows."
The old lady replied with a sullen look.
"Are you the Queen of Darkness???"
"Are you deaf? I just mentioned 'Her Highness' so obviously that is not me. TSS. I am the priestess from the River of Styx and I shall be ordaining your wedding tonight."
"Wedding??!!! What do you mean??!!! Wait!!! Let me go!!! Hey!!!!
Aiden tried to protest and wrestle free but the other party had a tight grip on his arm
"Come, sir. Your wife awaits you."
The other party said as she takes Aiden's arm and started tugging him up towards the aisle.
The priestess literally dragged Aiden down the aisle as Aiden keeps on wrestling free away from her.
He was kicking and screaming to the best of his ability.
"If I am going to die tonight, I will make sure that that I will not go without a fight! There is no way I am going to give up and submissively resigned myself to death!!!"
Aiden shouted at the top of his lungs as if he was declaring his vow.
He decisively decided to himself that no matter what happened, he would fight this corpse priestess and her highness until his very last breath!
He will never marry that hell of the Darkness Queen, by hook or by crook!!!!
So with the priestess' decomposing grasp, Aiden twisted and twirled as he fights every step of his way.
But the zombie priestess is no pushover either.
In fact, she was actually way far stronger than how she looked like. Aiden wrestles up with her as they made their way towards the altar but to no avail.
Aiden also realizes that for some unknown reason, a disapproving wave of hushed whispers also started to resurface in the surroundings.
This hushed whisper continues to ripple within the congregation as the priestess finally pulled Aiden under the arch of dead roses that stood at the end of the aisle.
"I AM NOT GETTING MARRIED!!!!"
Aiden yelled in defiance as he looked at priestess as well as the crowd who will apparently serve as their 'wedding guest'
The priestess yanked hard on Aiden's wrist and snapped at him,
"Stop whining child! Your future wife will be here any moment and she will not want it seeing her groom acting up."
To hell with that freaking future wife!!!
Who cares what she wants and what she will not want???
NOT ME!
"No! This is shotgun marriage!!! You cannot force someone into getting married!! This is a free country!!! This is no old dynasties!!! This is against the law!!! You cannot do this to me..This is against human rights!!!!"
"To hell with your useless laws and darn human rights"
Aiden glance nervously backs down the aisle and saw nothing. The crowd would also occasionally turn their head from time to time, hoping to get a glimpse of the bride
Aiden wondered what kind of rancid creature his bride would be like. What if the priestess beside him turned out to be the Queen of Darkness' beautiful sister???
What if the Queen of Darkness is a corpse as well?!!
Waves of nausea rope up and began pounding against Aiden's stomach
His head had been waving a million worse scenarios to his mind which only makes him feel sicker than he already was
