40 Wedding Blues (1/2)

”You nervous?” Blair asked as she fixed an ornament in Olivia's hair.”....” Blair took a step back to get a better view of her handiwork.”Ya... no, my heart is not in this.Autumn you take over!” Blair shouted as she slammed the brush on to the vanity.

Autumn shook her head ”If your heart is not in it, what good will I be?You know how I feel about this and we can't even talk about it because a report will make it's way back to Avery and who knows what kind of punishment he will come up with.”

Blair and Autumn both looked at Olivia sadly, there were no words they could say that would make Olivia feel better but then again with what Autumn just said, they couldn't help imagine the harm that they could have caused her just for their opinion.

It had been months and the relationship between Olivia and Avery was drastically falling apart at the seams.Both girls could figure out the reason why but as they learned if they even uttered a word of doubt or complaint against Agni, Olivia was the one punished for it.

They cringed ever time they looked back.Phone privileges taken away, chats and gaming taken away, girl time and dates taken away.At one point they were pretty sure she was locked away in her room when they hadn't heard from her in 3 solid days.She didn't go to school or work and the only thing Agni would say when she couldn't pass the phone was she was too sick to talk.

There was a knock on the door, an ashen faced Laila peeked her head in ”It's time to go.” she grimly announced and closed the door.It had been a while since they seen or heard about the twins but this was bad, they looked at Olivia with horror in their eyes.

Olivia stuck in a few more bobby pins and got off of her chair.”You heard Laila, it's time to go.” she whispered and tried to leave, Blair caught her wrist, keeping her from escaping”No!Just wait a minute, what they hell happened to Laila she looks like she half dead!” Blair shouted.Olivia looked at Blair with dead fish eyes, void of any human emotion ”I don't know what you mean?She's always been like that.” turned around and went out the door.

Blair held Autumn back as she watched Olivia descend down the stairs ”What the f*ck is going on?!Does Avery not have any eyes?What is going on with Olivia? To everyone?!” she whispered viciously.Autumn just gave her a side glance ”I was wrong she's not a witch.... she's a f*cking demon.As for Avery I don't know... last I heard he's been practically living at the office the last few weeks.” she whispered back.

”My God, we can't let them go through with this!We need to object or do something to stop the ceremony from happening!” Blair's eye blazed with anger.Autumn shook her head and gave her a bitter-sweet smile. ”Your so innocent Blair... that's why I love you but the ceremony is just for show they got their marriage license a few days ago.” Blair's jaw dropped and Autumn left her rooted to the spot as she walked down the stairs.

There wasn't a lot of people outside, no one really wanted to come and gave the excuse that the weather was not the greatest but in truth they couldn't stomach the sight of Agni and what Olivia had become under her care.

The ones that came to show their support and blessing where there to actually check up on Olivia.They were worried as they hadn't seen her in the last few weeks.Avery stood at the front nervously while he had only Robin standing behind him as his best man.

Suddenly the music started to play.Everyone looked back at the entrance and gasped as the the ladies came out.Try as they might no one could look at the bride, what they were looking at were the three young girls, smiling their brightest smile but couldn't hide the fact that they all looked deathly pale.

People wanted to believe it was nerves for everyone, that it must be scary to have a new dad and mom officially becoming part of the family or how cold it was outside.Ignorance was bliss as no one really wanted to look at what was really happening, let alone Avery.
