Chapter 1

Prologue

I run panting hard trying to reach my friend's cottage in the woods. That is only way she will be safe. I knock on the door several times before Nurse comes "Juliet, what are you doing at such a witching hour? And please tell me that is not what I think it is" she says glancing at the bundle in my hands.

"If it is a child you are thinking of then yes it is exactly what you think it is" She would be the first I would tell of the child. "Oh Juliet how many secrets must you tell before the truth is revealed? You have already been married in secret and now a child?"

"I know. I will tell my parents soon but I need you to keep my baby until I return. If she is discovered before my family understand she will be smote and I will be gravely sorry. Please I will never ask anything else of you." Nurse took a glance at the child and sighed "What is her name?"

Smiling Juliet replied "Her name is Delilah and if any harm is to become of me please raise her as your own. I must go, Frair has asked to meet with me"

She looked down at the child and kissed it's forehead causing it to laugh and gurgle "I will return my child, and then we will all live as one happy family."

Juliet left and did not return for she and her husband perished. Juliet from poison and Romeo from suicide. Juliet did not know the dosage she took would kill her and Romeo not knowing he had a child believed that nothing else in the world would make him happy again.

As for the child not many know of her, and those that do know not who she truly is....

I sit in the back of the pub, facing the entrance with nothing but the wall behind me watching for any trouble. Everything seems calm as of now but I know how things can escalate quickly.

"Hey pretty lady mind if I buy you a drink?" A fat, obviously drunk man asks me. "No thank you and I do believe you do not need any more either." He gets and drapes his arm over my shoulder "Come on, just one drink can't do any harm."

This was beginning to get very agitating " I believe I said no so please go find someone else to bother" I say my voice getting stern. He mistakes my tone for something else and moves his hand to my thigh.

I grab his hand and bend it backwards. "Next time I say No, listen. It will save you from a world of trouble."

"Ooh fiesty" he says grimacing in pain. Oh no he did not just say that. I release his hand and forcefully push his head onto the table knocking him unconscious for probably a couple of hours.

I wasn't gonna stay in this place long enough to find out. "Keep the change Walter." I say to my acquaintance at the bar and step through the door.

This was going to be a bad day. The wind was picking up and it smelled like rain. Always a bad omen. I pick up my pace getting back to the only home that I knew. With a close family friend in the woods.

When I got close enough to the small cottage I begin to jog sensing something was wrong.The door was wide open and Nurse never leaves the door open. She believes it's somewhat asking for trouble. I step into the threshold and smell iron. "Nurse are you home ? Nurse thi-" I see the old woman crumpled on the floor with a deep wound in her head.

Her pulse had stopped hours ago but the wound was still bleeding out onto the floor. There was no use in crying. She may have been all that I'd had for 17 years of my life but I knew her time was coming regardless.

I decided to take her to a real doctor to find out the cause of death even though there was no one to tell. Neither of us had any friends that I knew of and neither of us had relatives. She kept telling me stories of my mother and father and said she would tell me what happened of them on my 17th birthday. Well Happy Birthday to me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After finding the cause of death I decided to go back to the cottage. There was no where else to go and nothing else to do. I suppose I should find a job seeing as Nurse bought everything I needed and she's gone now. Walking past I see possible work options. Tailor, Nanny, Cook. All jobs for women, but I needed a more difficult task to occupy myself.

I fall back onto the ground and look up to see a young gentleman in the same position as me. He stands up and offers his hand but I just get up, dust off my cloak and continue walking.

" Excuse me you bumped into me back there" he took long strides to keep up with me. "I am aware of what happened and I had no intention of saying anything or seeing you afterward." He didn't seem to be taking the hint.

"You could at least apologize." I sighed and turned around " I am very sorry that neither of us was paying to the other. Now good day." I turned on my heel and continued on my way. I could find a job tomorrow. All I needed was to get to the next alley and I could slip out of this conversation into the forest.

"Who are you anyways." Why do you care?? "That is none of your concern" Almost there.. He looked to the left and I slid left. "Well my names Griff-" He looked in the direction I went and slumped his shoulders. "-en."

Frowning at the disappointment in his voice, I continued toward the cottage and stepped briskly inside going straight to bed.

I tried to make this chapter long seeing it is the first chapter.

So what do you think of it already. You might not understand what is happening yet but when you do I hope you'll love it.
