Twisted: A Death Story

by thelittlestones

Summer has just ended and secrets are coming out. What is the real reason Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet broke up? Who is Rose and why has she come to Verona High? What is Frankie running from? And, best yet, why did Romeo and Juliet kill themselves, months after their separation? Only 5 people knew the truth—Romeo, Juliet, Tyler, Nora, and Frankie. Only 3 live. AU/OOC.

1. Dramatis Personae

Twisted: A Death Story

A/N: This is a modern version of Romeo and Juliet that I made up. It's gonna be pretty fucked up though, so bear with me. This is going to be in the exact order Shakespeare wrote it. M is Montague, C is Capulet, E is Escalus, and N is the people who are on none of them.

Dramatis Personae:

v Rose: Rosaline (C)

v Officer Escalus/ Principle Escalus(same guy, 2 jobs. Kinda sucks, right?): Prince Escalus (E)

v Pete: Paris (E)

v Mr. Montague: Montague (M)

v Mr. Capulet: Capulet (C)

v Gramps: That Old Guy (M)

v Romeo: Romeo (it wouldn't be R+J without the names) (M)

v Tyler (aka Tiger): Tybalt (C)

v Mercer: Mercutio (N)

v Benji: Benvolio (M)

v Lawrence: Friar Laurence (N)

v John: Friar John (N)

v Burke: Balthasar (M)

v Abe: Abram (M)

v Sam: Sampson (C)

v Greg: Gregory (C)

v Mrs. Montague: Lady Montague (M)

v Mrs. Capulet: Lady Capulet (M)

v Juliet: Juliet (C)

v Nora: Nurse (C)

v Students: Citizens of Verona

Yeah, you guys should only read this if you've read Romeo and Juliet. If not, it'll be interesting, but it won't make complete sense.

So, enjoy!
