Chapter 115

PLANNING THE WEDDING

Xander and I walked into the grand hallway, as people started asking us questions as to why the portraits on the wall looked like us. There was murmuring around the hall some people wondering if we were the ones that wanted the high jacking seeing as this island obviously belongs to us. Others, perplexed attributing reincarnation to the reason the portraits looked like us.

Xander walked up to the grand stairway, Standing on a stair 1/3rd of the way up the first row of steps. I went and stood next to him.

Xander –

Using my Alpha voice, I boomed through the grand hall, almost as if my voice was echoing off the walls. As the passengers stared at me in shock, they turned to look at me.

“Please calm down, Clair and I are not sure why the portraits seem to depict us. I have discovered that this is an old property that belonged to my fathers. As it turns out, we have what is known as old money. This is money passed down from generation to generation and we found photo albums of this couple from the 1700s. This is one of my father's properties that I was unaware of. From those portraits, it is evident that I look like one of my relatives, but how my fiancé looks like the woman up there is a mystery to me. Now you will be escorted to your rooms by the servants. As soon as you have settled in and refreshed, the kitchen servants will serve you dinner in the dining hall, then I will provide you with instructions on how to leave."

There is an eerie room that Clair and I are taken to, as well as the portraits hanging on the walls of the living room that are haunting. We were taken to this room by a servant around 300 years old, maybe a few years older. He thought it would be a smart idea if we stayed in one of his king rooms. There is no doubt in my mind that he knew the couple we looked like. According to him, he was shocked and believes that we were brought back by the moon goddess because she must have loved us a great deal. The whole thing is creepy, as I mentioned earlier.

I threw Clair’s and my bags on the bed. Looking at Clair I could tell she was creeped out. I walked over and hugged her around her waist, turning her to face me and letting her put her face into my neck to calm her nerves.

Clair started crying. She was saying how no matter what, we can’t seem to get married, something always happens. Maybe we were never meant to be married.

I lovingly told Clair; you see our predecessors got married. So maybe we will just get married here. Tonight, I will see if we have a preacher amongst the 200 passengers down there.

Clair –

“What is creepy is that this couple from 300 years ago, still look like they live here even though they are more than likely dead. Clair turns to Xander, “Are they dead?”

Xander –

“That's a great question. We werewolves can live extremely long lives if we don't get killed in our wars. It's possible they're still alive and the servants didn't tell us. It's possible they don't want people to know they're alive. What if they show up and how do we explain it to the passengers?”

I am going to find that old wolf and ask for the truth.

After having taken a shower and changed into clean clothes. As we found out, the Marshall had locked the rest of the hijackers in our dungeon, and he had taken them there. There is no doubt in my mind that the bars of the cells are made with wolf's bane on them. The fact that these are humans, however, means that they won't be affected by it in any way.

The two of us walk down to the dining room, and there is an estimated seating capacity of a couple of hundred. Since wolves go places in packs, there must be ample seating here.

I knew that the Witches and the Vampires did not require planes or ships in order to travel. There was no limit to where they could teleport to. We do not allow them to do this because we do not want a human being to accidentally see that they could do so.

It is agreed upon that there is a council that governs all those who are a part of the supernatural world. They are the ones who set the rules. Among them are elders from each of the species of supernatural creatures that inhabit the world. The reason behind this is not those witches, elves, vampires, fairies, or other such beings are forbidden from doing so. In order to prevent humans from becoming aware of our existence, this option must be the last option available to them.

As a result, they have not yet been able to travel via teleport yet. The names of all of them are on the manifest of the airline. Therefore, if we were to get rescued, that would prompt questions about what happened to them if they teleported out of here. As a result, they are stuck here just like the rest of us as well.

As Clair and I walked around the group, introducing ourselves, the wolves in the group bowed their heads and thanked us for saving every single one of them. It appears that the humans look upon us with an air of royalty due to the heads bowing in our direction as we pass by. It's true that we are royalty, but it's not the way that humans think about it.

The number of servants here surprised me, I didn't know there were so many here, I guess they came out of hiding because of us all. In my mind, I can't help but wonder how long it has been since the servants had anyone who needed their care. It seemed that they were happy to see us and seemed to be enjoying it. During the food being served at each table, I wanted to share with people what we are going to do from here and where to look for a preacher who could help us.

Xander –

“Clair, I guess I should go and stand by the fireplace to let the passengers know what is going on. Also, what say you we get married tomorrow? Clair, will you marry me tomorrow?”

Clair –

“Anytime, anywhere.” I grab Xander by his hair with both hands dragging his lips to mine. Letting my tongue enter his mouth Once we needed air, we let go of each other.

Xander –

“Well, I will return my love.”

Clair –

“I will be waiting.”

Xander –

In front of the fireplace that was unlit, I walked up to it. As I looked around, I saw a podium with a microphone attached to it. It is obvious that someone has updated the layout since the 1700's. There were all sorts of modern lighting, furniture, etc., in the room.

“Hello everyone, my name is Xander.” I stop talking and wait until all of them have my attention before proceeding. To get everyone's attention, I decided to cough into the microphone in order to get their attention.

The room quieted down and turned their heads to me. I smiled and proceeded, “Hi everyone, I am Xander and my lovely fiancé over there, her name is Clair. What a eventful couple of days we have had. I want to let you know that in two days a supply ship is coming, and we will have them send for other ships to rescue us. Also is there anyone who is a preacher in here. My fiancé and I keep trying to get married and well, something always happens. So, we would like to get married here and would love everyone to attend and celebrate our eternal union. If you have any questions I will answer if I have the answer.”

I looked around the room and saw hands going up. One of the men in the audience stood up and announced he is a pastor. I smiled, and asked, “Will you marry my fiancé and I?”

Pastor –

“I would be honored to.”

Xander – “See me after dinner and thank you.”

I look around and start from left to right with questions being asked.

1. The first question is how I knew that a boat was coming. I explained that I had talked to the staff on site. They had informed me.

2. Next question was if this was my estate, they had seen the portraits and they looked exactly like us. I explained I had never been to this island before my father is wealthy, and this is probably one of his properties I didn’t know about.

3. What happened to the pilots? “That is a good question, could I get a search team and scour that plane to see if they were stuffed somewhere by the hijackers, someone had to get that plane in the air. Thank you for that awareness.”

4. Is it alright if we use the pool and other things here? I answered “Yes, it is obvious this property belongs to my family. Therefore, I give permission, please be kind to the staff as they are doing us a great favor.”

5. A couple of girls stood up, “could we help your fiancé tomorrow with getting ready for the wedding?” I look at Clair and ask, “What do you say my darling Clair?” I see Clair chuckle and blush at my terms of endearment. Clair stands up and faces the girls “I would love that. Thank you so much.” The girls giggle and sit down talking and laughing amongst themselves.

If there aren’t any more questions, please enjoy the food and the great service we are getting.
