Lara is walking aimlessly at a very dark place. She doesn't have any idea where she is but she mustered all of her courage to keep on walking, hoping that she will see a light that will guide her out from the dark... But the question is, how did she end up in this place? "What am I doing here?" she wondered aloud. Lara stops walking when she suddenly heard a voice, not far from where she is standing. "Please help me, Lara..." Who could be calling her? Lara gulps an imaginary lump on her throat before she decided to speak. "W-Who are you?" she bravely asked while she's still standing at the middle of the dark... Lara suddenly squinted her eyes when a big spotlight lightens up the whole place. And when her eyes have finally adjusted to the light, her eyes widened in utter shock when she realized that Amanda Montserrat is standing infront of her! "Amanda? Is it really you?" she unbelievably exclaimed. "Lara, I need your help. I really don't know what happened to my soul, and why you're in my body right now... I want you to listen carefully because I don't know when you'll see me again." Amanda started speaking, in a serious tone. Lara took a deep, calming breath, then afterwards, she focused all of her attention to Amanda. "Please call off the wedding on my behalf, Lara. I don't want to marry Emmett because I don't love him. I don't want to cause more pain towards Emmett, and I want to be with the man that I truly love." Amanda relayed. "But how will I do that?" Lara asked in return, while feeling confused. "I'm already running out of time, Lara. Please, help me..." Amanda said once again, instead if answering her question. Lara was about to say something but she wasn't able to do so because Amanda suddenly vanished right before her very eyes. She kept on calling her name, but she realized that she's all alone... Lara immediately opened her eyes, while gasping for breath. She quickly got up from her bed, while panting. Her dream of Amanda was very vivid, and it feels so real. "Please call off the wedding on my behalf, Lara. I don't want to marry Emmett because I don't love him. I don't want to cause more pain towards Emmett, and I want to be with the man that I truly love." "I'm already running out of time, Lara. Please, help me..." Amanda said those things to her, and she looks like she's really sad, frustrated and desperate in her dream. Lara already knows that Amanda is not genuinely in love with Emmett Albreicht, and she is deeply in love with another man, which is Oliver Doe. But how can she just call off the engagement and the wedding? She is absolutely sure that she will hurt a lot of people in the end. She will hurt Amanda's parents, Emmett's parents, and most especially Emmett... Lara closed his eyes tightly, while thinking hard. How can she help Amanda without hurting other people? And most importantly, if she successfully calls off the engagement and the wedding, will she be able to return to her original body? ================================== Emmett and Lara/Amanda is at the church, where the wedding is going to be held. They are now doing their wedding rehearsals, and they are currently practicing The Rite of Marriage... "---Emmett, do you take Amanda to be your lawful wife, to live together in holy matrimony, to love her, to honor her, to comfort her, and to love her in sickness and in health, till death do you part?" the wedding coordinator, who's acting as a wedding officiant, is rehearsing with them. "Yes I do, Father." Emmett answered, while smiling towards Lara/Amanda. "---Amanda, do you take Emmett to be your lawful husband, to live together in holy matrimony, to love him, to honor him, to comfort him, and to love him in sickness and in health, till death do you part?" the wedding coordinator asked Lara/Amanda this time. Lara/Amanda was just staring at Emmett's big, warm eyes. She has been spending time with him for so many months now, and as time passes by, she is starting to know more about him. Emmett is such a gentleman, a kind and sincere man. He always thinks about other people's feelings first before his own. He also takes good care of her, and she treats her like a princess. The only thing that she doesn't like about him is he is too understanding, too kind, and too gentle. She's actually worried that many people will take advantage of him, as he is the nicest person she ever met in her life... How could Amanda not fall in love with this man? But she can't really blame Amanda, either. She just decided to follow her heart, and her heart longs for Oliver Doe. But if she is the real Amanda, she would definitely choose Emmett... Wait a minute... Does it mean that she is falling madly in love with Emmett Albreicht?! "Amanda?" Lara/Amanda snaps out from her reverie when she heard Emmett's voice again. "Huh?" she mumbled, while looking absent-minded. "Are tired, dear? We can take a quick break if you want..." the wedding coordinator suddenly suggested. Lara/Amanda forces herself to smile, while nodding in return. "Yeah. I guess I need to take a bit or rest." she said, while feeling guilty. She was given a heavy responsibility by Amanda, and she can't bear to see Emmett getting hurt. But she doesn't have any choice but to do it... Once the wedding coordinator walks away from them to give them some privacy, Emmett decided to speak. "Are you alright, honey? I hope you're not getting a "cold feet" just like what the oldies usually say..." he stated, while looking a bit concerned. "Emmett, do you really love Amanda?" Lara suddenly asks him. Emmett frowned, as he is a bit puzzled by her question. "What kind of question is that, Amanda?"
