Two Worlds (Two Worlds #1)

Closure

Inside the cold, stone building, the two youngsters began freezing seriously. But their shivers weren't only because of the cold. The realization of who they were and what they were doing got in the way of more questions, and Juliet looked up towards the boy with a spooked expression.
"This isn't right", she whispered, locking her unconfident eyes in his sky-blue. "We can't keep doing this."
Romeo nodded slowly, but somewhere in the midsts of his heart, part of him told him otherwise.
"We could..." he began. "We could do something together."
Juliet shook her head violently. She was afraid. Afraid of what could happen to her, to them, if someone was to find out. Was it worth it?

Romeo didn't understand these feelings. They were new to him, not similar to anything he had ever felt before. It was as if the stranger Grand Wall had washed away all his sense of duty and logic. Whenever he peeked into Juliet's innocent eyes, a hope lit inside of him. Could this be the way out, the ray of light he had been searching for?
Without thinking, Romeo quickly took a step forward and spoke with a loud voice.
"We can change something!", he said with a set voice, looking right into Juliet's confused eyes. "Together, You and I... We might be the beginning of something huge, something unstoppable!"
Romeo's eyes sparkled like stars under the peeking moonlight, and somehow, Juliet didn't feel afraid anymore. It was as if, somewhere inside, a fire was burning in her as well, and she didn't understand it.

Romeo smiled widely, as if he could see his goal in front of him. His voice toned down a bit, but it still had that hopeful sound to it that told Juliet that he was serious.
The boy leaned back a bit.
"Let's meet again."
A bolt went through her as Juliet trembling gave her a small nod. It was nearly lost in her movement, only a small tilt, yet it filled Romeo with so many different feelings.

Juliet gasped when looking up towards the sky through the small hole in the building. For how long had they been standing there? She couldn't tell.
"I-I have to go", the young girl stuttered, caught by reality.
At first, Romeo wanted to stop her, but he too realized that they couldn't stay any longer. He gave her a sad nod.
Juliet got ready to leave through the immensely heavy door just as Romeo called her.
"Tomorrow night! When the moon leans towards south!"
Juliet's lip unknowingly curled up a bit, revealing an innocent smile.
"Yes", she responded, and so she pushed the doorway open with all power she had managed to save up through the hours they had spent inside. The way home was chilly, but her heart was warm.

On his way home, Romeo tried to protect himself from all thoughts that suddenly shot towards him. It was madness. He could never make it through alive. They'd have him by dusk.
Even so, a wild smile inhabited his face and he couldn't stop the rebellious feelings that were welling up inside him.

It had begun. There was no stopping it now.
