Profit of Innocence: Love Kills

Rachel had bought up my new outfit; a beautiful white wedding dress with matching shoes, she sat on opposite me on the bed as I put on the dress and shoes and finished my hair and makeup;
“you look beautiful, you know Amelia….I’ve missed my old home back in Adelaide so much, I never really liked it up here, I guess Amos was the one that kept me staying” I looked at her through the mirror;
“you’ve never tried escaping?” Rachel looked at me and shook her head almost too quickly;
“are you kidding me? Of course not! Malachai would slit my throat within seconds, however, I must say that since you arrived here he’s changed, his more friendly and actually smiles, I never thought that he had any feelings or emotions in him whatsoever”

I looked at her and shook my head; “trust me, he does, his just very good at hiding them” I smiled to myself as I turned to face her, fully dressed in my wedding dress with the matching shoes and my hair and makeup complete, she smiled at me softly; “you look gorgeous, are you ready?” I nodded as she lead me to the field.

Malachai stood beside Isaac, he was well dressed, not in a tuxedo like the average groom would wear, but it was good enough, and he didn’t have his hunting knife on him for once, the wedding reception was complicated, there weren’t any vows, rings etc;

“Amelia, are you ready to enter this union with Malachai?” to me this was basically the same as traditional weddings in REAL world; “do you Amelia take Malachai to be your lawfully wedded husband?” I nodded; “yes…I do” I didn’t understand how to answer the question, Isaac stood there and curtly nodded as he held his weapon, he turned to Malachai and asked him the same question, Malachai gave him the same curt nod, he then took my hand in his as we exposed our wrists to Isaac who looked at us, ordering us to raise our hands, we obeyed as he’d gotten his weapon and slashed our wrists; “you are now forced together as one”

I flinched as the blade cut my skin, however the wound would heal, both mine and Malachai’s blood had hit the soil, indicating we were but one person now, I turned to face him, as he leant in and kissed the top of my head, we left the clearing to return to Sarah and Jobs old home;

“now that we are married, I will runaway with you” Malachai grabbed a suitcase and threw it on the bed; “start packing, we’ll leave tonight, I have to take care of a few things, I will return in a few hours” he kissed my lips softly as he left the room, I began packing, whilst smiling to myself: meanwhile Malachai returned to the cornfield where he heard two voices, they belonged to Amos and Isaac;

“His planning something Isaac I can feel it, since Amelia arrived, he hasn’t been the same” Amos spoke in a rushed tone of voice, Isaac gave him a sharp look;
“Speak only when permitted Amos, I have full confidence in Malachai, his work is respected here, for his carried out the deed that He Who Walks Behind The Rows wants us to carry out, Malachai has the strength of a lion, and was the only one who was able to capture the Blue Man when Joseph nor yourself, the second strongest out of us all, was able to, he carries out the wishes I make, now that his wedded to Amelia, his legacy will continue after he sacrifices himself when he reaches the age of favour, once Amelia has his child, he or she will inherit there mother’s percaline skin, dark hair and hazel eyes, however, they will inherit there fathers methods in killing”

Amos hung his head low; “Isaac, if I may, lately…Rachel has been acting strange, since the death of Ruth, she has befriend Amelia and I think that she may be planning to escape this happy place” Isaac looked at him with a warm smile; “my son, perhaps the pregnancy is playing tricks on her mind? If she were serious in escaping this happy place, I would have foreseen from God himself, and he’d give me word to spill Rachel’s blood among the rows” Amos nodded and bowed, he left Isaac, who returned to the white chapel, Malachai was hiding in the same corner I was cowering in when he’d killed Dean; he watched at the small black figure walked into the chaple, he slowly made his way to the front, Isaac glanced up;

“Malachai? shouldn’t you be with your wife? Amelia should not be alone” Malachai had his knife behind his back, he looked down down at the boy preacher; “I was just coming in to pray, if I may come to the front” Isaac raised a brow, but allowed Malachai to go on, he moved up behind him keeping his knife behind him, Isaac heard the voice of He Who Walks Behind The Rows;

‘He is untrustworthy Isaac
He is going to spill your blood
And runaway from this happy place
Both he and his jezebel Amelia
Spill both their blood among the soil
And seek vengeance once and for all’

Isaac quickly faced Malachai as soon as he pulled out his knife; “did you really think you’d be foolish enough to make such an attempt in spilling my blood Malachai? For you have betrayed me and your God, for your foolishness, you and your wife will suffer the consequences and will both be given to him TONIGHT!!!”
