Once Upon a Dream

[Eden Silverback]

Takes place 2028 right after Eden graduated Hogwarts.

Eden couldn't stop looking at herself in the mirror. It was hard to believe that in less then an hour she would no longer be Eden Koshiba but Eden Blade. From the time Eden and Chase had first met until now had been a fairy tale. Who would have thought two people as different as they where could find each other and fall in love but survive four long years while Eden finished up her schooling. They had fallen more and more in love. The whole time Eden had been busy planning the wedding of her dreams. Of course there had been a slip up or two along the way. She had found out that she was a Seer and that had caused some drama for her at first but she was soon able to get it under control. She also had to deal with her father Koaru being upset about her not marrying Tohoru. He had thought Chase was just a fling and she would soon be back with Tohoru but that had not been the case. With each passing day the love Chase and Eden had for one another just grew stronger and stronger.

But becoming a Seer was not the only surprise for Eden. The day of her graduation she had found her best friend to be more than just a friend but also her twin. Her whole world seemed to have turned upside down in that moment. She had gotten not only a twin but also a mother. Eden had spent her whole life up until that point thinking that her mother had been a magic hating muggle but when the truth came out Eden couldn't have been happier. Now she just needed her sisters in here and than she could get married.

 

[Professor Elvera Le Fey]

graduating school was meant to be a big change in someones life, especially if that school had been a boarding school. however for Elvera le fey the change was a lot larger than for most. during graduation two life changing things had happened. firstly she had found out that she had had a twin sister who everyone had thought had died moments after being born but who had actually been abducted by the midwife. she also had a younger sister who had also been abducted the same way. the other thing that had happened was that the enchantment that had been over her since childhood suppressing her seer ability had lifted and she had had her first (rather embarrassing) vision.
Seer or not she would never have imagined that she would be here as the maid of honour at her twin and best friends wedding. no she thought she would be in the congregation, half way to the back and half forgotten. instead she was dressed in a pretty dress that had been turned dusky blue with a darker blue middle with a simple charm. Elvera was standing next to her Twin sister Eden as they looked in the mirror it was surprising that they looked so similar how yet they had never noticed it before. "wow eden you look like a princess" she said tightening the back of the dress for her sister. she was so exited for her sister who was about to marry the man she loved in a wedding from a fairytale.

 

[Eden Silverback]

Eden smiled at her twin. It was just the two of them getting her ready. When she had first started this planning this wedding she had always thought she would have half a dozen maids rushing around helping her get ready but when the day had finally arrived Eden had sent everyone away and just kept Elvera. Her whole life she had felt like she was missing the most important part of her and not even her love for Chase could fill it, but the moment she realized that Elvera was more than just her best friend everything just seemed to click into place. In a few moments the room would be full of her other sisters and maids just to make sure everything was perfect but right now she needed the peace and calm that only her twin could give to her. "Pull it tighter I think I can still breath." Eden said with a giggle.

Eden could hear people being seated and what she thought was Lilith in the hallway talking to someone. Looking at her sister Eden smiled. "Thanks I hope Chase likes it. As for you, I think your going to break a few hearts today as well." Eden said as she finished lining her eyes. She could of had someone do her makeup for her but she was scared that they wouldn't be able to do what she had been picturing. There was a knock on the door and Lilith let herself into the room and quickly shut it quickly so no one could try and sneak a peek at the bride.

 

[Professor Elvera Le Fey]

It had been a busy week for Elvera. who would have thought so many proparations and last minute planning would go into a wedding. she had felt like everyone had been running around like headless chickens most of the week but somehow this morning everything had fallin into place and was set up for a perfect wedding. it looked like anything was possible when one had the Koshiba influence. "you don't want to go fainting in the service" she chuckled when eden asked her pull the corset top tighter though she did anyway. "how is that" she said tying it off, if she pulled it any tighter she thought she would either break a rib or rip the dress. "I cant see how he would not love it." she said. then smiled. "you are the one getting married. so it will be you breaking the hearts of all the boys in the congregation who have finally realised they cant have you." she said. she didn't think of herself as anyone particularly special. Eden was far prettier, brighter, and braver. she was shy and a bit of a wallflower. It was then that her other new sister entered looking just as beautiful as Eden, in her own way, beautiful blonde hair, and a million dollar smile that made the room feel warmer. yes Liliths beauty seemed to light up a room like a ray of sunshine. "Lilith, you look amazing" she said to her younger sister.
"there is just one more thing that you need" she said leaving edens side briefly and heading to where she had put her bag. opening it she reached out a small box. she handed it to eden to open. she knew what was inside. it was a hairpin shaped like a lily only forget-me-not blue and silver. "It was what great great aunt Nimue wore during her wedding." she said. During the last week despite the busyness she had managed to visit Morgause in england for a few hours and before she had left she had handed her the box saying it was Great Great aunt Nimue's, in the sort of way that only seers and old people usually used; leaving out half the details and forgetting that the other person didn't know as much. she guessed it was tis aunt that she had gotten her middle name. "I think if you follow the saying it is old, blue and borrowed she said assuming that that was what her grandma had been getting at.

 

[Lilith Patil]

Lilith couldn't believe that all of this was happening. Eden was getting married to her best friend and probably the only man who would ever be able to put up with her and her mood swings. But besides that they finally had there mother with them. No not the horrid muggle women who had stolen them at birth but there rightful mother and Eden's twin. Lilith looked at her dark blue dress in the mirror one last time and left the room where she was getting ready in and went down the hall where she knew Eden and Elvera where. She quickly entered the room knowing there where a few people who wanted to sneak a peek at Eden before show time but they would have to wait. Shaking her head Lilith went to stand besides Elvera. "Thanks mom helped me get ready. Is Eden almost ready?" Lilith asked looking at Eden and feeling at a lose for words to tell her older sister just how truly beautiful she was.

Looking at the jeweled hairpin that was in the box when Eden opened it Lilith gasped. "Oh my goodness. It's perfect." Lilith said softly. There was a knock on the door and a maid came in with Eden's flowers. The only thing that was missing was Haruhi. She had been by Eden's side the past four years helping her plan every detail of this wedding. Lilith knew Hoshi would be at the alter when the time came.

 

[Haruhi Ater]

Haruhi wanted everything to be perfect. It wasn't everyday that someone from the Koshiba was allowed to marry for love but it was happening today. Her eldest daughter Eden was marrying a very handsome promising young Death Eater. Hopefully this time next year or sooner they would be blessing her with a grandchild. She had been doing last minute things and now everything was almost ready. She just needed to make sure that Eden was ready. The maids outside the door saw Haruhi and opened the door for her. As the doors closed behind her she nodded her head in approval. "Are you girls almost ready?" Haruhi asked them as she looked at the open box in Eden's hands. It was a very pretty flower. It wasn't a jasmine so she couldn't place it.

 

[Eden Silverback]

"Perfect. I think your right. Any tighter and I might just pass out. We can't have that happening." Eden said as a maid came in and attached her veil. She didn't even hear Lilith come in until Elvera told her that she looked amazing. Looking at her little bright sunshiny sister Eden nodded her head. "Well you look as pretty as a picture." Eden was happy that her and Lilith where getting along well enough that they could be together for this event.

Elvera handed her a box and Eden opened it up to see the hairclip laying there. It matched her flowers perfectly. With a smile she handed it back to Elvera so they she could put it in her hair. The doors where open and Haruhi walked in. She asked them if they where ready and Eden looked at Elvera. "Is mom already seated? If she is than I would say so." Eden said suddenly starting to feel nerves about the idea of getting married. Yes she had been picturing this moment for the past four years but now that it was really happening she could feel her heart start to pick up.

 

[Professor Elvera Le Fey]

elvera smiled when eden sad that passing out was something that thy didn't want happening. she sure wanted edens day to be perfect and she was pretty sure that fainting would stop that. it felt odd to be in a room with her sisters. she had thought she was an only child ever since she was little. she hadn't known her mother until she was twelve, and since then she had also learned that the lady who brought her up was her grandmother, and that she had a aunt and cousin. but a few short days was not enough to get used to the fact that one had a twin and younger sister, and that her twin was about to get married. she watched a maid come in and attach the vale to Eden's head and then mrs Koshiba entered bringing the flowers. such a pretty bouquet that matched the hair pin perfectly. she took it out of the pox and placed it in Eden's hair in a position that seemed perfect for it. "I think we are just about ready Mrs Koshiba" she said to the lady, some how she seemed too posh and business like to call her by her first name even though that is what she had asked to be called. As she had spoken she had pulled on a thin pair of pale blue lace gloves. she had only had her first seer experience a few days ago and she had fast learned that being with too many people was one way to spark another and she didn't want to spoil the wedding. it had been morgan who had suggested the gloves, and she had found they helped a fair bit. "morgan should be seated by now. I doubt she will miss it for the world" she said. before giving both of her sisters a hug before they headed down to the ceremony.

 

[Morgan Le Fey]

If anyone had asked morgan le fey what she would be doing today her answer would have been something along the lines of 'the same as normal, working in the eye' never in her wildest dreams would she have guessed that she would be at the wedding of her daughter. especially as she had believed until a few days ago that the daughter in question had been stillborn. it had been a wonderful feeling to know that she was alive and she had found her lost daughters. however now it felt like she was just about to loose Eden again. was this how all mothers felt when their children were getting married. she didn't know. she was very happy for Eden, marrying the man one loved was something very few ladies in her family managed to do. she had seen that Elvera had the hairpin that her great aunt Nimue had warn to her wedding although that wedding had been many years ago she was the last person in the family to be happily married. yes her twin Gwen had been married but she was pretty sure it hadn't been a happy one.
Once she was ready and had seen Lilith off to the wedding procession she had taken her seat at the front of the congregation. around her the room filled up. people from what seemed to be all over the world, she didn't recognise many of them at all, but she could tell from what they were wearing they were of the rich and powerful. although the dress she was wearing was new and she was in her best jewellery, and she had done her hair up in a sophisticated (or so she thought) way she still felt a little underdressed in comparison. soon the room was almost full, just a few seats were free for those running late or those who couldn't make it including those beside her that were, she was assuming, mr and mrs Koshiba, and two seats a few rows back marked reserved for gwen and maya deniro, she she was fairly sure weren't attending. and the air was filed with an exited hum as people waited for the expected arrival of the bridal party. already her eyes were starting to tear up and it hadn't even started yet. she reached into her bag to get out a couple of tissues she had brought with her, just in case she needed them she was prepared.

 

[Haruhi Ater]

The music started to play softly and that was the cue that it was show time. With a wave of her wand the doors opened so the girls could head out. "Hoshi is already making her way to the alter. Lilith your next followed by Elvera. Watch the maids they will give you, your cue to go. Eden just like you requested Koaru will be waiting at the alter to marry you and Chase." Haruhi gave the girls one last go over and swept out of the room to go and sit by Ms. Le Fey.

 

[Lilith Patil]

Lilith was still having a hard time believing that this was really happening. Haruhi entered the room and everything felt a little bit more real. There was just something so regal about her adopted mother. Nodding her head Lilith hoped that she didn't mess anything up. Once Haruhi had left the room. Lilith went and picked up her flowers and waited for the maids to tell her when to go. Soon enough she was walking and she could feel people looking at her. Putting on a smile Lilith hoped that no one noticed just how nerves she was. Once she was at the alter Lilith smiled at Hoshi and took her place.

 

[Professor Elvera Le Fey]

Elvera heard mrs Koshiba say it was time. and made her way towards the door. she headed towards the ceremony following Lilith and Mrs Koshiba behind her was Eden. soon mrs Koshiba was making her way to the seat and Lilith was moving down the aisle. she gave her twin a hug "Good luck. I love you Twin" she said before making her own way down to the front there were so many people there, and the room was so well decorated she walked. as she walked she wondered if she had a wedding it would be lie this. she hadn't thought about it before. it was a little bit bigger than her taste. she if she ever had one she would probably have one a little smaller. by now she was at the front taking her place besides she smiled at morgan and then looked up as Eden came in. making an amazing entrance. everyone looked around and there was almost a unanimous sigh through the crowd.

 

[Morgan Le Fey]

It wasn't long before the seat next to her was filled by mrs Koshiba. She smiled and nodded a greeting before the attention was drawn to the back of the room where the first girl started walking forward. She was Japanese and Morgan was pretty sure she was hoshi, mrs koshibas daughter, next was Lilith in a sparkly blur dress her smile grew wider as her unknown daughter approached, next was elvera once again in blue. Eden had picked a good colour it seemed to suit all of the girls. Then she looked back ready for Eden to come out, ege atmosphere in the room almost palpable, there was a shiver of excitement that ran through the room from the back as people saw the girl in the white dress appear. She looked stunning like a fairytale princess.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Fate was there of course holding for she held a connection with the bride that most others didn't. Her true sister being the exception of course. Fate knocked on the door to the changing room knowing that the young seer would feel her presence as true seers could. She had run into a fortune teller not too long ago. Fate had to show the too daring woman what happened to those that pretended to have powers but really had none. Fate did not take kindly to those that mocked the Gift. "Everyone is waiting for you princess." She said, her voice smooth and clam the way it always was. It made one think of clouds on a lazy afternoon against a clear blue sky. No one would guess that a woman like this could hold such evil inside.

 

[Eden Silverback]

All to soon Eden was the only one in the room and it was her turn but she couldn't move. The knock on the door didn't register with Eden the feeling of a very strong seer did. Turning to look at her old friend Eden smiled. It had been Zazuka that had sold her, her first wand and it was Zazuka that had helped her get her gift under control. It was a shame that they weren't as close as they used to be but time has a way of changing people and not always for the better. Looking at her friend she smiled and turned away from the mirror. "Yes I guess they are." Eden said as she walked over to the table and picked up her flowers.

The church doors opened and the music that she had heard playing softly was now louder. All eyes where on her and she couldn't breath. Looking to the front she expected to see Chase's loving eyes looking at her but the eyes she locked onto where not those of her beloved but of her one time boyfriend Tohoru.

 

[Professor Elvera Le Fey]

Elvera watched as Eden entered the room a hush and sigh echoed around. what was surprising who was who was accompanying her dawn the aisle. was that Zazuka Bones? she had known the girl at school at least vaguely she looked so different now. Eden walked smiling. it had been odd for Elvera to watch her twin arrange this wedding as when she had found out she was to marry Tohoru she had been against it. then one day it was like a switch had been switched in her head and she was in full excitement ready to plan the biggest most perfect wedding anyone in the audience had ever seen. she had gone along with it. however now she saw a look of confusion cross Edens face as she was about half way down the aisle the kind of confusion that said. that is not who i was exciting she looked at Tohoru then back to eden. who did she think she was going to be marrying?
she smiled reassuringly at her trying to give her strength through whatever twin bond they had (which she knew hardly existed).

 

[Morgan Le Fey]

morgan knew something was wrong the moment that Edens eyes looked at Tohoru. there was a sort of slight drop in her demeanour. a slight subtle twitch. she wanted to know what was going on. she had been an unstoppable force of nature the last week, a full on blizzard of energy, now she was walking down the aisle and in her white dress she seemed more like a single snowflake, like in any moment she would just be swept away by the lightest of breezes. her hand instinctively went to her neck where there was a blue stone embedded in a silver moon on a chain. a stone that had power in her family to communicate and it had some other uses. she tried to focus on eden now as she whispered into it "What's wrong. I thought you were exited for this. but if you changed your mind it still isn't too late to call it off" she whispered hopefully quiet enough for just eden and possibly elvera to hear, she didn't even think that Eden may not be wearing her stone and she may be talking to an empty room somewhere.

 

[Tohoru Koshiba]

Today should be the happiest day of Tohoru's life but it wasn't. In just a few short minutes he would married to the picture of perfection. So what was the problem? Easy he was in love with someone else and since he knew that his family would never approve of the match he had decided to come out as gay. Of course everyone believed him. But that hadn't stopped his parents from demanding that he marry and carry on the Koshiba name because he was the only male Koshiba. As Eden's bridesmaids walked down the aisle Tohoru felt like he was going to be sick. Finally the doors opened one last time and there was Eden. The world seemed to stop spinning and all eyes where on her. She had never looked more beautiful in her life and it was all being wasted on him. Having down the aisle she stopped and there was a look of terror on her face. There was something wrong she had seemed so calm and cool now all of the sudden she seemed ready to turn and run.

 

[Eden Silverback]

Eden couldn't move it was like her feet where frozen to the floor. How could this be? Where was Chase? This had to be a joke there was no way she was marrying Tohoru. She wasn't in love with him. Truthfully she hated him just a little bit. Shaking her head Eden felt dizzy for a moment and closed her eyes. Once she opened them again there was Chase as handsome as ever waiting for her at the alter. Letting out a breath Eden started walking again. Hopefully no one had noticed the slight pause. She could hear her mother whisper something to her but she shook her head. Whatever it was could wait until after the wedding. Truthfully it was a bit rude for her mother to even try and distract her right now when she was getting ready to marry the man of her dreams.

At last she made it to the alter and Zuka stepped away and Eden handed her flowers off to Lilith. Reaching for Chase's handed Eden felt dizzy once again and gripped Chase's hands a little tighter than she met. Forcing herself to open her eyes Eden raised her eyes to gaze at the man of her dreams but once again she was looking at Tohoru. What was going on? Eden felt her heart start to race. There was a mistake there had to be. The music had stopped and she could hear her father start to speak.

 

[Koaru Koshiba]

The day had finally arrived. Eden and Tohoru where to be married. It had taken longer than Koaru had wanted but the end was now justifying the means. The last few months had been the hardest. Eden at first had tried to fight the marriage but for some reason right after graduation Eden had calmed down and agreed to the marriage. She had gone into a frenzy helping his beloved wife put the finishing touches on everything. Now everything was going perfectly. Truthfully after how much money he had spent on this event it better had been. The music had started and all the guests where in place.

The bridesmaids had made there way to the alter and where in place the only person that was missing was Eden. Finally the doors opened and there she was. As pretty as a picture. Koaru didn't know who the girl next to her was not that it really mattered. She was have way there when she stopped and she looked scared out of her mind. It was only for a few seconds before she was moving again but it was long enough. Once she was at the alter and hand in hand with Tohoru. Koaru could once again see a moment of fear in Eden's face. What was going on? Shaking his head Koaru opened his book and started to read the service.

 

[Professor Elvera Le Fey]

Out of Character:

Sorry It took aces I didn't now what to say.

Elvera watched as eden finished her arrival and the ceremony began. Elvera couldn't actually remember attending a wedding before. so she tried to pay attention however a few minutes in she felt a sort of pull that she had started to feel the last week. she knew what was happening though she couldn't control it any more than she could control the sun, well at least not yet. as she stood there she saw the scene around her shift slightly as it the locus and lighting had been adjusted a little. however instead of the calm ceremony that had been going on a minute before there was agitation and flashes of light. shouts and movement. soon a red bolt was heading right for her and she flinched letting out a gasp.
this did the trick everything shifted back to how it was before. she glanced around. the only difference was that a few people in the front row were giving her strange looks. she dint really mind. she just hoped she hadn't made that much of a scene. she looked at morgan trying to catch her eye but she seemed to be looking the other way. not sure what to do, how to warn people she glanced at Lilith but no she was just taking Eden's flowers. she tried to look for morgan again and this time managed to catch her eye but didn't know how to communicate what she had seen other than the look of slight panic on her face that was almost mirror of her twins.

 

[Morgan Le Fey]

morgan was in awe of the ceremony. Everything about it was perfect. the kind of wedding every little girl (including herself at one point) dreamed of having. the only thing about it that seemed out of place was Eden's expression. she looked panicked, and scared. she watched her daughter to see if she could work out what was wrong. the only thing she managed to get was she looked the most uncomfortable when she was looking at Tohoru. she looked between the two to see if she could work out what was going on. in fact she almost missed seeing a sort of dreamy calm expression wash over elvera. the kind of look that was summon for seers particularly new ones. whatever it was she was seeing was lasting a little while and knowing she was not able to do anything to help her she turned to attention to the ceremony just to keep an eye on it. a couple of minutes later she looked back at elvera and their eyes met. the look on her face spoke thousands though she didn't know that she had seen to trigger it. now she had two scared daughters at the front and it almost pained her that se was unable to do anything to help them. at least not for now and maybe when she would be able to it would be too late.
