A/N: Hello everyone. So, this isn't my first fanfic but it is my first Romeo and Juliet fanfic. I just have one thing to say about the story before I begin: I cannot write in Shakespearean language to save my life. I understand it and all, but I'm going to use modern English. So, enjoy they story.
Prologue
Juliet- O, comfortable friar! where is my lord? I do remember well where I should be, And there I am. Where is my Romeo?
Friar Lawrence- I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep: A greater power than we can contradict Hath thwarted our intents: come, come away. Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead; And Paris too: come, I'll dispose of thee among a sisterhood of holy nuns. Stay not to question, for the watch is coming; Come, go, good Juliet.— I dare no longer stay.
Juliet- Go, get thee hence, for I will not away.
[Exit FRIAR LAURENCE.]
Juliet- What's here? a cup, clos'd in my true love's hand? Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end. O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop To help me after! I will kiss thy lips; Haply, some poison yet doth hang on them, To make me die with a restorative.
[Kisses him.]
Juliet- Thy lips are warm!
Juliet- Yea, noise? then I'll be brief. O happy dagger!
[Snatching ROMEO'S dagger.]
This is thy sheath;
[Stabs herself.]
there rest, and let me die.
[Falls on ROMEO'S body and dies]
Juliet's POV
My eyes opened and I had to blink a few times to clear my blurry vision. It was completely dark and I couldn't tell if it was because I had gone blind just because it was dark. I couldn't tell which way is up and which way is down. There didn't seem to be a ground beneath my feet, and there was no breeze. Everything was completely still.
Suddenly, without warning, my mind was attacked by thousands of images. Two people, a man and a woman, dying over and over, in countless ways and times. I could feel their love for each other. "Stop!" I screamed to no one as I felt their image was the smae. Star-crossed lovers who took their own lives in order to be together. Then I saw a girl stab herself over a guys lifeless body.
That's when a completely terrifying thought smashed into my mind. That was Romeo...and I was Juliet. All those deaths. All those people who died because of their love. It was us, and they weren't just random images, they were memories. Memories of lives we had lived through. "No. Not again. Please, make it stop." I cried, clutching my head. I didn't want to go through this again. But it was happening, and there was no way to stop it.
Suddenly Romeo was next to me. "Romeo, I'm so sorry." I don't know why I was using that name. I guess because it was the most recent life. He pulled me into his arms as I sobs wracked my body and my shoulders shook. "Don't worry Juliet..." I gripped onto him but I could already feel my memories being replaced by new ones. "Its happening again. We've gone though this too many times. I just want it to stop." He held me tightly to him and I knew his memories were being replaced as well. "But it's never going to stop. We're never going to be able to be together." I said.
"We'll do it right next time. I promise." He whispered into my hair but I couldn't respond to him. Because that is what he always said. Every single time. "Don't lose your faith in me Juliet." I nodded slightly after a moment's hesitation. I did believe in him because he was the only one I could believe in. "I love you." I whispered, looking up at him and he smiled weakly. "I love you too, and I always will, no matter what happens." He leaned in and kissed me. A moment later he was gone, and then so was I.
A/N: Alright then. Here it is. So, I know the main plot of the story is pretty vague right now but please keep reading. I promise it'll be worth it.
