They say it started with a big bang[Wedding!]

Oh dear, today was the day. The realisation dawned on her - she was finally an adult. Two years old. That didn't make her feel any more mature, more responsible, more adult-like. And certainly not any older. Maybe they had taken this a bit far. Did they really need to get married now? What was the rush? Her mother had never loved anyone, and she turned out alright...ish. Okay, maybe love was important, but now? The nerves, it had to be the nerves messing with her head. She had said yes, after all. This was what she wanted, wasn't it? In the back of her mind, she knew she had to act older. Just after Riv had set off for the islands, she stayed back at the den grooming herself. Normally, she didn't take such a stress in her appearance, but for this special occasion, she had to look presentable. No, more than that. She was the one being wed, so she had to look the most beautiful, feminine. She brushed the dirt from her coat, ensuring her fur was straight and soft. There wasn't much more she could do, to be honest, though as she left the den, she trod through a lavender bush, allowing the flowery scent to mask her ebony body. As she followed Riv's scent trail that led away from the willows, eventually catching up to him as they approached the islands, she decided to walk behind him. He was walking alongside his brother, the one who would wed them, and she didn't want to interrupt their precious bonding time. Instead, she fell back to walk alongside her sister. She couldn't see any of her other siblings, and a part of her fretted that they wouldn't want to come to her wedding. She knew her brother didn't get along so well with Riv. Oh, she should have spoken with him earlier. She could have sorted this all out. "How do I look?" she worrisomely asked the smaller girl, batting her eyelashes. |
