juliet & romeo

Chapter 1 - Juliet

☾☼☽

It was just 3 words.

"I love you."

If only I - we - knew.

I'm not a creepy fortune teller or anything. I'm just...predicting, I guess.

It's sort of a bad habit.

My story starts when my family got invited into a very fancy party. I wore a gorgeous dark blue dress. It looked like someone had stolen the sky and splattered it all over my dress. Perfection.

My father, the King, was a very proud man. He did not want to go to the party, for the host of the party was not someone he enjoyed.

Long story - but basically, my father's kingdom despised this other kingdom, called Carthage. Our city and Carthage's history consists of many wars, arguments, and deaths. There used to be strict laws that if anyone from our kingdom talked to anyone in the kingdom of Carthage, then it would be punishable by death. Now, things aren't so strict. If you talked to someone in Carthage, people would be ashamed of you, but you wouldn't be killed.

My mother, the Queen, said we should go for three reasons:

1) We could discuss trading business with their King (even though we absolutely hate their kingdom, we still trade with them, which doesn't make sense at all).

2) For me to make more friends (pathetic, i know - she says I am antisocial but I'm not).

3) To somehow become "allies once again".

When my mother said her last idea, my father yelled. Loudly. "Are you insane? Allies? With those horrible people? You disgust me sometimes."

"How rude! They are good trade partners, admit it, Charles..."

Then Father turned on me.

"What are you doing, Juliet? Go get ready for this ridiculous party."

I nodded quickly then ran out of the room. I was excited, because I haven't been to a party in years.

I had one of my servants, Wendy, curl my blond hair. Another lady put makeup one me.

After about a hour, I was all ready. I looked like a star in the sky - sparkly, blue, beautiful.

"Look at you!" Mother exclaimed. I smiled, "Look at you!" My mother looked gorgeous, too. A magenta dress, straitened hair, makeup, and her stunning crown on top of her head perfectly.

"Father is not going, he refused to go. He is being extremely stubborn." Mother says softly.

I nod. Typical Father.

If only I knew that I would meet the love of life shortly.

Chapter 2 - Romeo

☾☼☽

My Father was having a very special party tonight. He invited the King, Queen and their daughter of the kingdom Atlanta. Our kingdom especially hates their kingdom.

I hope their daughter is stunning.

I stood right by the gate, waiting for the King, Queen and the daughter. Finally, after a long time, I saw two horses riding toward the gate....the Queen and the daughter. I couldn't make out their faces very good though, so I wasn't sure what they exactly looked like.

The guards let them in, and then they got off the horses and I saw how amazing the girl was.

Her hair was perfectly curled and blonde, sharp green eyes, a perfect height - and her dress was beautiful. It was dark blue, and it sparkled like the night sky.
