9) Ties That Bind
Transylvania, Romania
(One Year Later)
3rd Person P.O.V- The GA and Para-Lockdown Crews stand in an intimate circle surrounding the immortal couple.
Nick- (Smiles Proudly) Overwhelming happiness vibrated through the bond Jay and I shared with Zak, our Vampire stood before us with a huge smug smirk plastered across his lips.
Aaron- (Smiles Happily) Jay stands before us with Zak and Amity, while the rest of us stands in a circle around them with our hands interconnected.
Billy- (Smirks) I could only imaging the fans heartbreak, when they found out their Playboy Bachelor has finally settled down.
Dakota- (Squeals Excitedly) Practically bouncing in place, I watch as my boss an hero officially ties the knot with his Soulmate.
Katrina- (Smiles Tearily) Rob and I were overjoyed when we found out Nick had reconciled with his brother and over the moon when Amity has personally invited us to the wedding.
Rob- (Smiles Proudly) We've all become one big family and we were so happy for Zak an Amity.
Jay- Standing with Zak an Amity as our family circles us. (Smiles Fondly) Glancing up to the full moon and then back to our family as I gesture to the couple standing before us. "We are gathered on this glorious blood-moon night, standing witness to the eternal bonding of these two souls." Taking both Zak and Amity's left hands as I make them grasp the others forearm, tying a crimson silk cord in place. "You're vows, repeat after me..."
Zak- Gently squeezing Amity's wrist as I gaze into her emerald orbs, that glow beneath the reddened moon. (Smiles) I recite the vows Jay has chosen for us, word for word. "I Zachary Alexander Bagans, take you, Amity Maria Reid as my lawfully wedded wife. My constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of God, our family and friends I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, in joy and in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh and to cry with you, and to cherish you as long as we both shall live."
Amity- Returning the soothing gesture as I get lost in Zak's glowing crimson orbs, reciting our given vows. "I Amity Marie Reid, take you, Zachary Alexander Bagans as my lawfully wedded husband. My constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of God, our family and friends I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, in joy and in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh and to cry with you, and to cherish you as long as we both shall live."
Jay- Handing them each a ring. "Exchange rings."
Zak- Reaching up as I slide a diamond encrusted band unto my Mina's ring finger. (Smiles Proudly) "With this ring, I take you as my wife and eternal mate."
Amity- Sliding the plain black band unto my Dracula's ring finger. (Hums Softly) "With this ring, I take you as my husband and eternal mate."
Jay- Holding up a ceremonial dagger and sliding it between their tightly entwined hands. "You may seal the bond with a kiss."
Zak- I didn't have to be told twice as I rest my free hand on Amity's cheek and lean down to capture her lips with my own.
Amity- (Smiles Happily) I melt into the kiss as I wrap my free arm, up and around his neck.
Jay- As they kiss I slide the dagger down, Cutting the silk cord and their palms spilling their blood as it mixes. "I give you Mr and Mrs Bagans." The couple locks lips once more as we all break out into applause.
(Two Months Later)
Jay- The moon is full and illuminates the starless sky, it is the only light and basks everything in an eerie bluish-grey hue.
Nick- Jay and I lean against the willow tree as we watch the Vampire, he's got a nervous bounce to his step and is frantically rambling.
Zak- Pacing beneath the willow tree in the center of the garden. (Mutters Frantically) "Have I pressured her? Have we rushed into things? Am I doing things right by her?"
Nick- Jay and I notice the bloody tears that begin to fall as Zak's emotions go haywire in his frantic state. "Zachary!" Rushing over to our brother, I gently grasp his cheeks as I gaze into his glowing orbs. "Talk to me..." Glancing at Jay whom is standing behind us. "Help?"
Jay- Nick can normally handle grounding Zak himself, so hearing him beg for help, I knew something was wrong. Walking up behind them as I rest my hands on Zak's shoulders, I rub up towards his neck. (Hums Softly) "Talk to us."
Zak- They send overwhelming contentment and encouragement through the bond as I take a deep breath and slowly let it out, allowing myself to relax in their hold.
Nick- Rubbing my thumbs against his jaw in a soothing manor. "What has you so flustered?"
Zak- Looking down as I twist my fingers into my brothers leather jacket. "I'm scared." I quickly continue before they could ask me to elaborate. "I'm scared that I pressured her. I'm scared that we may have rushed into all this. I'm scared that I haven't been the best, that she deserves and I'm scared I'll lose her again." Letting go of my brother, I immediately start playing with the black band on my ring finger.
Nick- He starts twirling his wedding band around his finger. (Sighs) "You didn't pressure her as she wanted all of this just as much as you did, if not more." (Shakes Head) "Maybe, maybe not. Zak you've known Amity for thousands of years and under different names. No matter the life-time, the two of you were always destined to be. So, how are you rushing things exactly?" Gently tapping his cheek. "She doesn't expect you to be perfect and to her you are the best thing, weather she deserves you or not." Glancing up at the starless sky and then back down, once more locking eyes with his glowing orbs. "We are all afraid to loose each other." I slide my hands from his face to his neck as I grip his shirt collar tightly, leaning into him and pressing my face into his chest.
Jay- Sliding my hands from his neck and down his back, I rest them at his hips rubbing soothing circles with my thumbs. "We will support you and Amity in whatever you choose to do." Nick and I both knew that the couple was throwing around ideas about what the future would hold.
