Till Death

Romeo's pov

Two weeks has passed and we finally managed to find the person and location.
Paris. Your death will be in my hands.

Both the Montegue and Capulet were circling his place so he won't be able to run.

Victor had already sent his men to get rid of every guard so we managed to enter easily.

We got separated so we can find Julia faster. Who knows what her state could be.

As I went upstairs I searched every single room but I couldn't find either of them and anxiety started to kick in.

"We found Paris." Mercutio said through the small earpiece.
"And Julia?!" I asked.
"She's not here."

Anger and panic took away my sanity.
I continued to search every room I had left and now there was only one left.

If she isn't there then I'm not sure what will happen to that fucker.

I tried to open the door but it was locked so I broke it without wasting a single second.

And to my relief she was there sleeping on a grey and red sheet.
"I found her!" I told the other.

As I walked closer to her I saw that the red that was on the sheet was blood. HER BLOOD.

No. What happened.

"Julia!Julia!" Panick was clear in my voice as I tried to wake her up.
"Romeo?!" She asked.
"Yes it's me amore!"
"Take me home!" She said breathless.
"Of course amore!"

As I was about to pull her up I noticed that she was still in the dress I last saw her in and chained. She had bruises all over her body and dried blood all over her legs.

I picked her up after breaking those chains and stepped out of that house where all of the men were waiting.

I didn't give a damn about the people shouting, wanting to see her. All I need to do now is get her home, to safety where I can take care of her.

I needed her to be safe!

It's been two days and she still hasn't awoken yet. The doctor said that it might take her a while since she had lived an almost death experience.

I was sitting on the couch across from the bed watching her sleep and listening to whatever Mercutio is telling me about not getting rid immediately of Paris.

That's because I wanted him to suffer as much as she did.

"No. Please. No." A feminine voice spoke. And I looked closer at her. She was having a nightmare.

"We'll talk later." I hung up not letting him argue.
I walked towards her.

I knelt on my knees, holding her left hand tight.
"I'm sorry Julia. I'm so sorry. Please wake up." I hold her hand tighter.

As if she was listening to me, she sat up. Sweat running through her hair, she was breathless and in shock. Probably from the nightmare.

"It's okay. You're okay Julia. We're home." I said as I watched her looking around confused, still in shock.

A tear slipped from her eyes, she shook as I brushed it away.
"I won't hurt you Julia. I promise." I stated.

"What?" I hesitated for a minute. "What did he do to you?"
I knew exactly what he did but I wanted to hear it from her so his death will be more painful.

She looked at me not sure if she should answer or not.
"He..." it was her turn to hesitate now. "He raped me." Another tear slipped from her eyes.

I had to control myself so I wouldn't lose it in front of her and scare her.
"What else?" I asked through gritted teeth.

"He told me that I'm his and he will do anything to get me and... and get rid of you." She looked at me with teary eyes.

I leaned against her forehead and looked straight at her eyes.
"I'll make him pay for everything he ever did to you and made you go through."

"He broke me Romeo." She cried.
I looked at her seeing tears streaming down her face.

"You're not broken Julia. You're perfect. You're everything I ever wanted and needed. Don't let people like him makes you think that you're broken.
You're a survivor Julia. A warrior. And my queen.
Don't you ever forget that. Understood?!"
She shook her head in agreement.

I kissed her forehead.
"Rest now my love I'll be back."
She nodded and laid back to bed.
And that's when I left.

I went down to the basement where Benvolio, Mercutio and my guest were waiting for me.

These past two days he was in the Capulet's house getting beating up because in the end she was a Capulet and he hurt her.

But now that he was here in my place it was time for him to die.

As he came into view, I saw how he was badly bruised, chained to the wall. Blood running through his nose, mouth and head.

That look made me smile. Just the scene of him hurt brought a smile to my face, then I can't imagine what his death will do to me.

I stepped closer to him. He looked me dead in the eyes. I punched him out. Blood spilled all over the floor.

"That is for kidnapping my wife."
Another punch.
"That is for threatening her."
Another one.
"That is for hurting her."

I grabbed the gun that was in my waistband and lifted it up so it was in his face.

"And that is for raping her."
I shot him. I didn't want to waste anytime on him. Especially now that Julia is awake waiting for me.

She was waiting for ME to come back to HER!
