A Vampire's Touch

Chapter 19 ~•Wedding Disaster•~

•Recap•

Jess grabs my arm and pulls me. As I walk out I see some guards on the floor injured because of me.

We get to my room and Jess closes the door shut.

"What was that?" Jess asks.

I drop the knife on the floor and I stare at her, "I don't know."

Jess sighs and pulls my sleeve up, and the she looks at the bite mark.

"Don't worry you won't turn into a vampire unless you die."

She walks towards the bed and picks up a big white dress, the one she brought in.

"This is the wedding dress I ordered, you have to tr-"

"I think I'm going insane," I interrupt Jess.

"I-...." says Jess, not knowing what to say.

She sighs and comes over to me. She wraps her arms around me and hugs me tightly.

"I know, I miss Ethan as well. I would go insane if I lost my loved one too. Now let me fix you up."

Jess lets go of me and pulls me into the bathroom. She gets a tissue and starts to dab it on the bite mark. She then gets a long wrap and wraps it around the bite.

Jess grabs more tissue and starts to wipe blood off my face, arms and hands. I feel a stab of pain in my heart, because I remember Ethan doing this to me.

"Okay all done, now it's time to put the dress on," says Jess and grabs the dress.

"When's the 'wedding'?" I ask.

"It's tomorrow."

"What? No I'm not doing it!"

"Grace please!"

Jess hands me the white dress, I push it away. Jess looks at me, with such sorrow.

"Grace, please do this. I know Ethan would want you to just do it, so you won't get hurt."

I look down and then look at the dress. I snatch the dress out of Jess's hands.

"Fine!"

•Now•

Today is the day, the day of the wedding. Jess came and woke me up early to get ready. I just sat in the bathroom as she applied a lot of makeup. After she was done I look in the mirror.

"Jess, I look like a clown!"

"No you don't you look great!"

I sigh and shoo her out the bathroom. I close the door and grab a tissue and wipe off the eyeshadow and blush. I take some of the lipstick off so its not that dark. All I have left now is eyeliner on my eyelid, mascara and a bit of lipstick.

The reason I'm not so mad about the wedding is because I have a plan. I'm gonna try to escape at the right time. I know, it's not much of a plan but I need to leave.

I try to put the dress on, but its so hard! I hear Jess knocking on the door. "Let me in, I'll help you put the dress on."

I open the door and she stumbles in. She gives me an innocent smile and puts the dress on for me. Once it's on, I look in the mirror. The dress is looser then before, obviously I lost weight. My curves are barely noticeable, and not to mention I have a small chest.

"Hey! You took off most of the makeup! I'm doing it again," says Jess while reaching for the makeup. I grab her wrist and look at her. "No. More. Makeup."
