Till Death

Romeo's pov

We arrived at our destination. All of the people who follow the Capulet are here. I don't care who they are but if they try to stop me from getting to my Julia then I'll kill them all, one by one if it's necessary.

As expected the mansion was surrounded by the guards, but no matter how many they are I'll get back my Julia.

"What do you want us to do?" Benvolio asked me.
"Each of us will take a group of men and we'll get separated so we can find her faster." I responded. "You go east, Mercutio will go to the west and I'll go in the back."

They both nodded and each of us went his way.
I'm coming for you amore! Just wait for me.

Julia's pov

I can't believe I'm doing this. But it's the only way to be free. Free from all of this. Free from this war.

I looked down at the poison Father Laurence gave me. He was hesitant at first but then he came around after understanding why I'm doing it.

It's seven in the morning now and soon one of the maids will come to wake me up but it'll be too late by then.

I opened the bottle and drank it all.
I wish Romeo was here with me I missed him these past weeks. I missed his scent, his taste and the way he made me feel.
I'm sorry Romeo but it's the only way.

Third person pov

As expected at seven-thirty, one of the maids went to Julia's room to wake her up and get her ready for her wedding.

But when the maid entered the room and tried to wake her up,  she couldn't. Julia wasn't getting up.
And when the realization hit her. She screamed so much and ran downstairs.

She ran so fast she didn't realize that there were people in front of her. And when she bumped into someone that's when she stopped screaming. But she didn't realize who he was because of her blurry eyes.

"What is it?" It was Benvolio the guy she bumped into.
"She's.... She's..." No matter how much she tried she couldn't get the words out.
"What.is.it!" He asked again but tried as best to keep his voice calm.

"She's dead." The maid cried out.
"WHO?!!" Benvolio asked fear now filling his voice.
"M-miss J-juli-aa." She cried and ran back downstairs.

Benvolio couldn't believe this. She can't be dead. She can't! He kept thinking while climbing those stairs and searching every room.

Finally he found her room, when he stepped inside and saw her pale face lying on the bed, he just couldn't believe it.
Julia was really dead.

Mercutio was leading his group just as his friend told him too but there was something off. He could feel that he was being watched.

"Well... Well... Well... Look who we have here! I wasn't aware that you were invited to my wedding."

Mercutio turned his head and he found none other than That in front of him.

"I decided to come last minute." Mercutio said with a sound of amusement in his voice.

"Then I'm happy to let you know that there will also be a funeral. YOUR FUNERAL."  Tybalt replied with a grin.

In a matter of seconds Tybalt's men and Mercutio's men were on each other's throat.

Romeo's pov

I heard gunshots while I was on my way to the back of the house. It was on the west side.
MERCUTIO!!!
I ran back the way I came from and went to the west followed by my men.

When I arrived I saw my dear friend hold on at a gun point.

"Look who finally decided to show up." Tybalt shouted. "If I wasn't in a hurry I'd take a great amount of time to torture you but I have my own wedding to attend to." He continued, his wicked grin never leaving his face.

"She'll never be yours Tybalt! She is my wife." I replied.
"Not for long."

I didn't have time to react when I heard the sound of a gunshot.
