Romeo and Juliet

Scene 1. The Capulet's Vault

Continue from Page 81 with Rom."what, ho! Apothecary!"

There a lay a girl fair as a budding rose trapped under a sleep like death, a spell not cast by an envious queen, but by benevolent Friar in search of peace. Fair Juliet awoke with a graceful blink of her eyes and a twitch of her soft fingers, she stood up from her place on the cold slab of rock that was intended to be her bodies resting place for the rest of eternity and left in search of her love, her Romeo.

Juliet's dainty slipper clad feet clicked on the smooth stone of the Vault as she made her way blindly through her stone prison, for there was no light to guide young Juliet's away. There was no fear in Juliet's heart she was sure that should she lose her away, her Romeo would find her- it was written in the stars that the two would be together in the end.

Though the longer she walked the more her thoughts wandered and were engulfed into the stuffy air of the vault. Every step seemed to lead to more doubt, she swore that the walls did not change and that the spirits of her kinsmen followed her through the caverns.

Juliet's' quiet breath was the only sound until the sound wings bursted into the air, and into Juliet's ears. Soft blue light and then the tinkle of voices followed suit. Afraid of being caught alive by a Capulet made Juliet hide behind one of the many stone pillars that supported the vault.

"Come little girl and play with us," whispered a sweet voice, "We wish you no harm, it's awfully scary down here."

The blue light transformed into two and then was revealed to be a pair faeries, no bigger than Juliet's smallest finger. They danced in their own brilliant blue light, fluttering and uttering their way to Juliet. From afar they were shining butterflies with translucent wings, but up close they were alien and strange- yet still carried an air of elegance and beauty that could only be achieved a specific flick of their wings and and a flutter of black glossy eyes.

Juliet, like many others before her, was entranced in the small creatures, and when they began to fly away bading for her to follow, she complied. She was kept in her trance with the tingle of their voices and the sweet words they whispered into Juliet's ear before they took off again with many flaps of their wings and led Juliet out of her prison.
