Marrying the Enemy (for shadowknight)

[Casey the furry one]

There have always been two types of Were among the clans the ruling family's that were able to control the curse in other words they were able to control their transformations. Second power the ruling family's had was that they didn't become mindless beast when they transform like other Were's. Centuries have passed and then came the hunters people who hunted the Were at first the ruling families allowed them to hunt them since it was easier to let the hunter's police the rogue members who were fully taking over by the beast within. Now was the 21 century the Were were nearly hunted to to extinction. The Ruling Families came together and made a pact that they would do their best not to make any new clans member except through natural breeding so that every were would be able to control the curse.

Yet it wasn't enough to keep the hunters from killing them now there are hundred people or less in each clan that were scattered over the world; but most in the old world or the new world. Yet one Clan's from America that were Werewolf's decided to move and hunt the hunters but not to kill them but to marry into group nullifying their efforts as a whole.
------------------
Casey was a young male of fifteen years but he was no ordinary male he was a Werewolf. Today was his wedding day and his birthday he was a man today finally able to wed within is sect. Yet he was nervous as hell since he could very well be marrying his executioner. The woman he was marrying was a few years older than him and was exceedingly beautiful and dangerous since she was trained as a hunter. He was extremely nervous since he knew his wife to be was also the same person how made the killing blow to his father. The young man gulped whiles he put on his tux in the giant cathedral he was in. In a about two hours he would be married to a complete stranger just about he barely new anything about her and he was supposed convince her to not kill him and hopefully bring peace between his clan and the hunters clan.

"Hey John do you think that my wife to be would be a good match for me if I live through this?" Casey asked in a joking manner yet it was also note of seriousness. He straitened his penguin suit as he called it again even though it was already strait.

John chuckles some at his cousin. "Don't worry I am sure she is a good match you. Besides dad wouldn't want you to do you know....," he trailed off some not wanting to say the word die. He sighed some, "Look it is going to work out if worse come to worse do remember your stronger than her," he slightly older werewolf said with a wink.

"I can't believe I'm going through with this," Katt growled a bit as her long red hair was fussed over by her bridesmaid into a more appealing style, as well as to keep it from covering her face. She couldn't figure why she bothered to say it, she had been for the past few weeks and always got the same answer 'it will be fine' "It can't work, it won't." she said again.

"Don't say that," her bridesmaid said as she continued with the girl's hair, "Alot of people say that about arranged marriages, but they always seem to work out. Just give it a few weeks," she tried again to comfort Katt, "Besides, you'll make it work I'm sure. Who knows you might actually like him." she smiled, as she leaned over to examine her handiwork, "You look beautiful, I'm so jealous, you should be happy, it's your wedding day."

"I'm more than willing to trade places." Katt joked. Though deep down she was a little happy, she was getting married, though it was to someone didn't even know, she wished they could've at least met and gotten to know eachother a bit more, as it was they barely knew more than eachother's names.

"And, done!" the bridesmaid squeeled with excitement, "Ohh, you look absolutely gorgeous,"

Katt stood up from her chair, unable to not smile as she looked at herself in the mirror, her normally long red hair was done up in a small bun, a long low-cut gown covering her body leaving her cleavage showing on her chest, "I, suppose I do." she fought back a tear as her bridesmaid put a veil on her, the lacy section lowering over her face.

"Alright, it's almost time, and remember to smile, no that looks more like your going to lunge and kill someone, smile, like this, yes there you go." She smiled, leading Katt to the door into the cathedral, waiting for the time for her to walk down the aisle.

[Casey the furry one]

Casey nodded solemnly at his cousin and didn't say another word as he walked out of the changing room. He walked into the chapel and stood at the entrance waiting on one his favorite country song to play "I loved her first" by Heartland. He hoped his wife would like it the song since he was giving one song he could choose. He heard the song start to play and as he began to walk down the aisle to the front of the church with three of his male cousin in tow. While he stood there the young boy looked back at the archway and wait for his bride to be come with her father down the aisle.

When he saw her he began to hyperventilate as his jaw dropped he was scared. Here was the woman who made the killing blow to his father. A few seconds later he remember that his father wanted to be the bait to lure our his wife's to be clan out. So that his could find out who and were they lived. He also wanted his son to be the one to marrying into her clan and bring peace between them and one more clan.

Casey soon regains his composer before she could walk down the isle. He could see that she was beautiful in her white wedding dress. He realized that his wife was a tigress yet it just never fully set in till he saw her in person. She gorgeous orange and black fur shined in light of the church. The young boy gulped before him stood a woman he had nothing to offer other than his family's wealth or his head on her wall. He realized just how lucky he was to get to wed such a catch.

Katt glanced up from under her veil, sighing a bit. She was at a bit of a crossroads, part of her wanted to just turn and run, not looking back and just keep going, and yet she continued forward. This was like a dream, being married, all the eyes of the cathedral on her, her father walking by her side brimming with pride, her mother in the front isle fighting a losing battle with her tears as she whiped down her eyes, and then the stranger standing infront of her, waiting for her. She couldn't decide if it felt right or wrong.

Her father smiled as he gave her a small kiss and handed her hand to Casey, "You take care of my little girl now." he said before going to take his seat.

Katt glanced over at Casey, finally seeing him up close in what seemed like years, she had forgotten how handsome he was, how under any other circumstance she'd be ecstatic about this day. But the indecision still remained, causing knots in her stomache, her tail wrapped tightly around her waist almost like a belt from her nerves.

Casey gulped nervously when his wife started coming down the isle towards him and her father beside her. He looked towards the exit ready to bolt if told to do so. His family watched the bride everyone who was over fifteen and been throw their first moon afterwords straitened ready to fight for the lives. A young boy that was a at the far end of the grinned showing his fangs even wasn't fifteen he had already transformed, then the boy's mother scolded him.

Soon the music died down while small robbed elderly man stepped forward it was clear he was the priest. Even though the man was small he had still looked powerful and could put the fear of god into any man with ease still. The priest began to speak going through the normal rights of passage. "Do you Casey take this woman and promise to learn to love her and provide and take of Katt in times of sicken and in health till death do you part?" He asked firmly staring Casey down.

The young human looked over at the tigress he could clearly see Her figure and even though her wedding dress was covering her appropriately. It looked almost molded to her skin because one could see every curve with ease. He blushed knowing he wasn't thinking pure thoughts and looked away. Casey looked back at Katt then he remembered what she did and he became confused once more. He saw as she was just that a woman, yet he didn't know if he could get past the fact took his father away from him. He also understood that his family was depending on him to say yes and try and bring peace between the two clans. Casey just nodded pretty sure if he said anything his voice would falter.

The elderly priest just glared at the young man, "Come on out with it you just can't nod your head," he said softly so only the groom and bride could hear him.

Casey stood still for a moment closing his eyes trying to calm down some. He took deep and slow breaths. After a moment he said weakly almost, "I...," he almost couldn't say it as his family held their breaths as they waited, "do."

The priest turned his attention then to the Katt, ""Do you Katt take this Man and promise to learn to love and cherish him, give him kids, and take of Casey in times of sicken and in health till death do you part?" He asked staring her down just as fiercely.

[Shadowknight]

K-kids!? Katt thought as her fur noticibly stood up a bit, her ears pricking up and lifting her veil a bit. Of course the thought seemed obvious if she had been thinking, marriage eventually leads to children, it was inevitable, Oh man, I, I'm not ready to be a mother! she thought.

The members of Katt's family tensed up a bit, recgonizing the movements of her fur. They knew if she was thinking of trying to duck out of this, it would be now. Her mother and father felt for her, but they knew the marriage was in her best interest, they hated having their children in the life of warriors, to have her married into a wealthy family, she'd be safe from anymore bloodshed.

Katt gripped the boguet infront of her, trying to keep her smile but it was slowly fading, Come on, calm down, she told herself, He'll understand, that you aren't ready for kids, it's not like he could force you anyways, he's just a human. she thought. This relaxed her a bit, her grip loosening on her flowers, "I," she took a deep breath, "I do." she said, the entire side of her family easing back into their chairs, her mother breaking into a new flood of tears now that it was finally settled, her daughter was married.

[Casey the furry one]

Casey had placed an ornate gold and diamond wedding ring on Katt's third finger then she did the same but much simpler gold ring. The preacher said, "You are man and wife, you may kiss the bride," the young human stood up on his toes and lifted the veil. He kissed her on the lips nervously; but it was more of a peck as he head it second longer before pulling away, blushing deeply and looking away nervously. While the congregations erupted into joyous cheers.

Casey blushed even more as he turned to faced the crowd. It didn't look like that many people when he walked down the aisle. He wanted to bolt from the room and hide somewhere out of the way but knew he couldn't move that fast yet. He sighed deeply and held out his arm for Katt. He hoped she would take his proffered arm and walk down the aisle with him to the Limo that waited out side for them. He was glad that both of their parents had decided to hold off on the reception till after the honeymoon. There was a limo out front to take them to the mansion that was in the middle of nowhere pretty much for the two to get to know each other better.

[Shadowknight]

Katt blushed brightly from the kiss, despite it's quickness it caused her face to glow slightly under her fur. She'd spent her entire life training and fighting, leaving little time for anything romantic, that had actually been her first kiss. She walked slowly down the aisle with Casey, smiling at her family as they clapped and cheered for the new couple, she glanced around, curious about a few empty seats, Odd, I could've sworn there were more people. her thoughts were cut-off as the new couple exited the building to a wave of even more cheers and congratulations, along with a bombardment of bird seed as a sign of good luck, Of course, should've seen that coming. she thought with a small laugh.

After the seed shower was done with Katt released Casey's hand, "I'll be back, promise." she said as she took a few steps away, soon tackled by a younger energetic feline crying and screaming congrats to her, a small mob of others surrounding her with similar reactions. She laughed a bit as she tried to thank each in turn, craning her neck at each. As she was moving between heads she caught a glimpse of what looked like another feline, but there was something odd about him, before she could examine closer her mother jumped infront of her, distracting her with even more crying and congratulations. When she looked back, the child was gone, another standing there, the same height, almost identical, but human, What? No he couldn't, ugh, too many people here, starting to mix them together. There's no way one of them would come to this, not with the whole family here. she thought, shaking her head a bit.

"Already, all the bacholerettes who're interested, time for the bouquet toss." Katt called out, laughing as the crowd around her immediately thinned, "And remember, give them a chance too." she laughed as she looked at the felines standing next to Casey's family, turning around she grinned as she threw the bouquet with all her strength high into the air, laughing as she heard the growls and hisses as a few of her cousins leapt into the air after it, coming down soon after in a large heap of fur, claws, and shredded flowers.

[Casey the furry one]

Casey nodded as he was swarmed by his own family, they shook his hand and gave him bear hugs. Yet at out of the corner of his eye he saw a being that could pass as his twin except for the longer black hair and wider nose. He smiled nervously at his cousin was a werecheetah, his cousin was a inherited that from his mothers side of the family who married into his. When the slightly older boy walked up to Katt. the younger boy looked nervously not sure why his the damnable feline would show up.

Mathew smiles and walks over to Katt and bows his head. "Hello You must be Katt I hope you have a good month by yourselves," he said with a warm smile as he bent down and picked up her paw and kissed the back of it like a proper gentleman. "My mother has family in the Midwest you might run into them while you stay there," he said with a malicious glint in his eyes.

Casey went white as he saw the vile glint in his cousin's eyes. He knew that Mathew never liked the idea of marring into Katt's family to make peace didn't think that he would try to go that far as to try hurt them or even try and kill them. The young man clenched his fists, and straitened his back and stared the slightly older boy down.

The young werewolf made his way up the steps walking toward his uncle and talked. Casey found as part of the agreement that neither family would interfere during the honeymoon that was in the agreement that both families signed. His uncle also told him that hey wouldn't help them because he didn't believe Mathew would cause a problem. He realized they would be on their own unless Katt's family would brake the marriage agreement and he highly doubted it. Then requested his uncle for a poultice that would bring on his first transformation a few days early. Uncle Sam grumbled some as he gave the recipe for the poultice.

"You know I never knew what was worse Casey's cowardice or that he looks more like a dam stupid mutt," Mathew stated. In front of Katt and behind Mathew was a young boy no older than six years old as standing in a small suit that had wolf ears and a tail wagging behind him that were as black as night. Then the mother and Father of the boy started to scold him as they blocked the boy from view, when the parents moved out of the way the young boy looked like a normal human.

Casey walked up to Katt and smiled at his cousin, "Come on Katt lets get going please hon?" he asked trying to be nice as he glared daggers at the older werecheetah.

[Shadowknight]

"Uhm, it's nice to meet you." Katt said, she felt strangely nervous, something about this man just made her fur stand on end, she couldn't put her finger on it. She blushed despite herself from him kissing her hand, a bit embarrased with her family, old and new, all standing around. She nodded slightly, "I, I'll be sure to say hi if we bump into them, what was your name again?" she asked, she didn't hear if he answered or not, her eyes and attention quickly drawn away as she caught what looked like a small child with a tail, she only saw it for a second before two others, she could only assume his parents, walked infront of him, she was shocked to see the normal child standing there again, What, no, ugh, I need sleep or something. I'm going crazy. she thought as she shook her head.

She snapped back to reality and growled softly from Mathew, "We may not know eachother very well but he is still my husband, and I don't appreciate you calling him names like that." she said, growling a bit and baring her fangs, despite the new relationship a mate held a powerful bound in the feline society, and now that Casey was hers she would protect him like any other member of her family. She stopped suddenly as Casey appeared next to her, nodding slightly and noticing the hostility between the two, "Yeah, I'm ready whenever you are." she said, "Dear." she added, almost as an afterthought as she glanced back towards Mathew, there was something off about him, but she didn't want to seem rude and bring it up right there. She debated wheither she'd ask Casey once they were alone.
