Chapter 306 – Forgetting Something?

Today was my marriage. 

It was a special day. A very happy day at that too. 

I wanted everyone to be happy today, oddly. 

I had no idea that there\'d be a party today. But I still wanted everyone to enjoy it. I didn\'t want people getting drunk on the champagne and ending up quarreling. 

Sure, didn\'t stop the people though. 

Sigh. "The hell do you think you\'re doing?"

Apparently, there were three drunks here. 

People were just leaving them be. And the drunks themselves weren\'t doing much either- apart from just demanding more drinks. 

"Well… I can explain?" The headmaster said. He was currently pulling on a tray. He probably wanted another drink. 

"You know…" Eve blushed, "You shouldn\'t stare at a woman like that when you just got married… are you looking for another one?" Her tone was sultry and slow. 

Drunk didn\'t even begin to describe her condition. 

The third one- Merin just grinned. A very \'busted\' grin. 

"I get that we\'re serving drinks." I glared across the room. "But you guys couldn\'t even make sure one guest got only one drink?" Of course, I was talking to mom and grandma who were pretending like they hadn\'t seen this at all. 

I sighed again. 

The last drunk one was trying to tiptoe out of here. 

I just grabbed his collar. "I was wondering where you were." The guy didn\'t even bother to come and congratulate me first. 

His girlfriend was just on the sidelines, giving him a very dull glare. "He kept on saying one more drink and before we knew it, this happened," Nat said. 

Though reluctant, mom and grandma came this way. 

I rolled my eyes. "That\'s how people get addicted." Anyway, "Would you mind tying these three up?" I asked grandma.  She tied them up vines and we just left the three on a table. "Be nice and I\'ll let you have another drink before leaving."

"Really!" The headmaster looked at me, very expediently. 

\'Nope.\'

"By the way," Eve\'s voice was awfully slow. She was falling asleep. "Congrats..on..th…" She fell asleep. 

The headmaster was in a daydream while Eve just slept. 

Who knew champagne was so effective? Or did someone put them under something?

Meanwhile, Merin just looked at me, a bit guilty. "Might have gotten a little carried away."

"You think?" Nat came over and took a seat just next to him. 

This was a six-seat table, so they were covered. 

There were few tables, and most people weren\'t going to seat. The party was going to go on for maybe an hour more?

The food and drinks stage was mostly over and since the school had a festival going on, we didn\'t have to bother to entertain the guest with events of our own either. This was fine. 

"Congratulations though." For someone that drunk, he was awfully polite. 

I hadn\'t actually seen the headmaster\'s wife anywhere. Maybe she hadn\'t come to the wedding?

I wished she had; at least the headmaster wouldn\'t be going through all this shit then.

***

I\'d mostly met all the guests. 

Friends, family, everyone.

Some of my friends had interesting things to say.

Leilis wanted to get married next; she even tried to give a speech about why it was necessary. And during the bulk of her monologue, Selene almost tried to kiss me….

That was something. 

Robert even went as far as to wish me a hundred children. While Mike just wanted me happiness in bed. 

The hell was that about, I had no idea. 

The guests mostly concluded all these as jokes. They were laughing alright. 

Anyway, we were missing something. 

I couldn\'t quite remember what. 

"Why do I feel like something\'s missing?"

Everyone was here.

Everyone was having fun and so was I. 

Laughter. 

Lights.

Decorations. 

Gossip. 

Friends.

Family.

Fun.

Yet, I felt like something was missing. Like I was forgetting something. 

I kept my eyes open. 

I looked around the whole room. 

Elsa was talking with Leilis and Selene. All three were laughing. 

Mom and Grandma were with my Uncles and Aunties. 

Dad was in a corner, having a chat with someone- oh wait that was the horsehead guy. 

Mike and Robert were cheering up a depressed Clyde. 

The three drunkards were having a fun conversation themselves. 

But- but-

"Something wrong?" Marg said, a hand on my back.

"Not sure. I-"

And then I remembered. 

Something happened this morning. 

I forgot about it. 

SHIT!

"The geezer!"

I ran blitzed toward grandma. 

Who looked my way and just stood there. 

"The geezer. What happened to him?"

He really wanted to be here. he wanted to be at my wedding. 

She let out a bit of exhale. "I don\'t think he\'ll make it." She wasn\'t messing around; she was serious. 

"Well, that\'s a shame. He really wanted to see this wedding."

And I wanted him to be here too. 

"Actually, Helio…" Grandma went slightly quieter. "He\'s not going to make it." She repeated herself. 

What?

"Wait, you mean…."

She didn\'t say anything.

I didn\'t either.

There was nothing to say.

It was almost as though the world just suddenly became quieter. The laughter, the fun, just felt distant. My chest ached and my body quivered. 

"We-we should go see him?"

"He\'s fine for now. They should be bringing him here, in about half an hour. He\'ll stay here for maybe about ten minutes till the party ends? Then he\'ll have to go get into the emergency room and if it doesn\'t go well…"

He was going to die.

Damn!

"It\'s my fault," Elsa mumbled. She was right next to me. 

When did she get here?

"No." I just stood there. "It\'s mine…"

After all, it was me who brought him to this world. 

And it was me who… no, I couldn\'t take it away from him. He risked his life and he did it to save Elsa\'s. I couldn\'t take it away from him.

I felt a hand grab mine. It was Marg. She just stood there, not a word. 

I wanted to scream. 

I wanted to scream at fate. 

Why\'d it had to be him? I finally had a grandpa after all this time…

Damn!

"Isn\'t the venom curable? What if he becomes a vampire and-" 

Grandma shook her head. "You\'ll need the blood of a primordial or at the very least a primal vampire. Even then, the chances are low. Besides, we never thought the bite would be this devastating. I actually thought he\'d come around. But-" 

We just kept quiet. 

There was nothing to say. 

We couldn\'t. 

I couldn\'t. 

"Primal? You need a primal vampire\'s blood?" Another voice came from behind me. "You can have mine, if you want." She was standing just right next to Elsa. 

Wait-

I turned around. "You?"

"Well, I am a vampire, if you recall…" She scratched her cheeks and smiled awkwardly. 

That\'s right! Leilis was a vampire!

And- wait- "Are you a primal vam-"

"I\'m positive!" She flashed a grin. 

My chest felt warm.

I was really, really glad. 

Grandma said the chances were slim but- but we had some chance at the very least.
