<span style="font-family: times;"><span style="font-size: 110%; line-height: 116%;"><span style="font-weight: bold">"Ester! Ester!"</span> Lori repeatedly called her name out as Ester walked with a mission on her mind. She knew Edward's features from any distance and if had gotten himself into any trouble upon their wedding day, she wasn't going to be exactly thrilled about it but was going to help him out either way she could. Lori finally managed to grab onto Ester's arm, stopping her in her tracks as Ester turned to face Lori now with a scowl. <span style="font-weight: bold">"Lori. Let me go."</span> Ester practically demanded of Lori, who shook her head then stepped up towards Ester.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"It's bad luck, I am telling you. You do not want to do ruin this day."</span> Lori said as Ester scoffed then rolled her eyes, snatching herself from Lori's grasp in the process as she took a few steps back and eyed all of her bridesmaids. <span style="font-weight: bold">"Help me if you want but do not stand in my way."</span> That was all Ester said before she turned heel and started to walk back to the area where she saw Edward standing.<br/><br/>Soon, her other bridesmaids caught up with her and even Lori, the main one who protested that Ester shouldn't do whatever it was she was thinking. Ester smiled over her bridesmaids then looked at Lori and grabbed her hand into her own. <span style="font-weight: bold">"Thanks for trying to stop me but I feel that Edward's in trouble. You'll see."</span> Ester said as she dropped and disconnected their hands from each other then continued the trek ahead.<br/><br/>Once Ester and the ladies got close, they all followed Ester's lead and ducked down as their eyes stared through the glass pane of the window. Lori's mouth almost dropped when she saw what was happening inside and could not believe that Ester was actually right. <span style="font-weight: bold">"See, I told you."</span> Ester whispered towards her comrade of ladies as her eyes peered towards Edward and seen his fists starting to ball up. Her eyes widened because she knew that a fight was bound to happen.<br/><br/>One of Edward's friends took a swung first but missed and the battle was seemingly on but it was Edward's opponent that took the advantage and that was when Ester stood up and stormed inside the tavern. Once inside, she was greeted by many of the men that knew Edward then went over to his side, kneeling down beside him. <span style="font-weight: bold">"Are you okay?"</span> She muttered towards Edward, who answered with the nod of his head. Ester looked at the man that threw the punch and got up to her feet. She caught sight of the man admiring her but by the time she went to do the same to him, he was gone.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Ester, what are you doing here?"</span> Edward questioned towards her as his groupies lifted him up into a nearby chair. <span style="font-weight: bold">"I saw that you were in trouble and came to help. Your nose."</span> Ester muttered as she went over to attend to her husband-to-be, Edward but the man that showed such bravery against him was still on her mind, too. Lori came over with a first aid kit and Ester thanked her while rummaging through it and helping Edward clean himself up.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"I think we should postpone the wedding until nightfall, don't you think? That way, you can get some fresh clothes and be free of blood. Plus, a full moon wedding sounds very romantic."</span> Ester mentioned as she stood up then eyed her bridesmaids. She did not bother to wait for Edward's response as she walked out of the tavern and looked both ways for the male that struck Edward but again, he was gone. She shrugged her shoulders then looked over towards Lori, who came back by her side. <span style="font-weight: bold">"What now?"</span> Ester eyed her back then pointed towards the church. <span style="font-weight: bold">"We wait there till nightfall, I guess. Come on, ladies."</span><br/><br/>Ester started her trek towards the church with the rest of her ladies following behind her. She had wondered if a night wedding was a better idea but now, she was sure that it was. As they neared the church, she saw the man along with other guys surrounding him down at the docks. <span style="font-weight: bold">"Don't Ester."</span> Lori said as Ester smirked a little. <span style="font-weight: bold">"I won't. He's not even worth it."</span> Ester responded as herself and the ladies walked into the church now.</span></span>
