"I can't believe this is real, am finally getting married to the man of my dreams" I smiled to my mom who could not stop admiring her daughter in her wedding gown.
"Am so happy for you my dear, today is all about you so don't stop smiling "my mom said.
My sister suddenly opened the door to my room, "Big sis, the car is here already, it's time for you to go" my sister said and left immediately.
"Come, it's time for you to go or else you will be late for your own wedding" my mom said.
I got into the car and was taken to the wedding hall, on arriving there; I was shocked to see the number of crowds waiting for me outside. I stepped down from the car and head inside the hall only to behold my dashing husband-to-be standing at the altar with a big smile on his face. Seeing him made my heart skip a beat, I can't believe I'll finally be called someone's wife. The feeling alone was killing me, I didn't even realize I was already standing in front of him.
In a blink of an eye, we exchanged rings and wedding vows and was soon congratulated by family members and friends.
I sat next to my husband as I watch my friends dancing to entertain us, "I can't wait to get home," my husband whispered to my ears. "What? Are you tired already?" I asked him. "No, I just can't wait to be alone with my wife" he said and I blushed.
It was finally time to bid my family farewell, I had actually promised my mom that I won't cry but who am I kidding, I cried a lot even before the wedding and right now I could not stop crying even after entering the car. my husband tried persuading me but it was not helping at all, I felt empty and I hate that feeling.
I tried looking out the window as the car speed off so as to calm myself a bit with the view but then suddenly I noticed a strange figure in the midst of the forest. I told my husband but he told me it must have been a deer.
After hours of driving, the driver suddenly stop. "What's wrong?" I asked him and then he told me to look ahead. I did as he said and then suddenly saw troops of people rushing towards our car. My husband was sound asleep and it was already dark. I asked the driver to pull back immediately and he was about to do just that when he suddenly noticed another set of them coming from behind us. I thought they were going to attack us but they were actually attacking each other. At first, I thought they were humans until when I saw their eyes glowing in the dark. Whatever they were doing was not affecting us at first until when they started burning up the whole street with fire coming from their hands. I quickly woke my husband up and we both got down from the car and head straight into the forest to run away from those weird creature.
We ran as fast as our legs could carry us but with my wedding gown, I could not run any further so I told my husband. "I can't go any further dear, my legs hurt"
"Fine, let's rest a bit" he said and we sat on a log. As we were resting, those same creatures suddenly surrounded us, with the way they dress, you could mistake them for human but I was certain they were not. I was still busy feeding my curiosity when I suddenly heard one of them telling the rest of them to kill us because we have seen them. Upon hearing those words, my husband took a stick and decided to face them head on but before he could even move his arm, he was stab in the heart. I stood up and held my dying husband in my hands. "Please! Please! Don't close your eyes" I said to him as I watch him shut his two eyes. They were about to attack me too when a strange man suddenly appeared and started to attack them. Without thinking twice I stood up and ran for my life, I ran as fast as my leg could carry me but only to find myself at that same spot, I turned round and saw my husband on the ground and that other man , I tried to look at him only to see that his eyes was also glowing. I couldn't take it anymore so I just collapsed.
