Act 1
Julien
I looked outside my window at the clear night sky with thousands of twinkling stars that reflected beautifully in the lake at the other side. "Julien ? Julien ? . Can you come down here for a second "shouted mother. "Yes, I'm coming! " I responded. As I stood up and walked down the stairs. Our house is not that big and our village is not that huge but it's cozy. Our village is called Decapuled and I'm going to be the next leader. We have one big enemy: Montague. I don't know exactly why but we hate each other!
I dragged myself into the kitchen and went to help my mom with the dishes.
We were talking just like normal until my dad came in. He shouted: ' Julien !, Julien ! Come with me right now ! Montague Attacked AGAIN! ".
I didn't know how fast I should run along with my dad. And then we saw the hostelry. There was nothing left of it. It was all burnt down. People along the road where crying because their beloved ones where inside. I just couldn't help but getting angry, and sad at the same time. Now.. Now I know why we hate them. "Why would they do something like this? So what are they going to do next? Burning down our whole village? "I said to my father in tears. "Calm down, calm down my boy this won't happen again. We will protect this village!" He said. I nodded "yes we will protect this village and we will never forgive Montague ! " I said.
I Was angry… so angry ! I could go to Montague right now and kill them all even if my life depends on it ! But then I went from angry to sad. Suddenly I felt so hopeless, just.. What could I do? I'm just one person. I can't save my whole village…
When I came home I saw my mother crying. Of course she would be sad. She used to come to that Hostelry almost every day. One of her friends worked there. I kept silent and went to my room at the attic. I tried to sneak up the stairs as quietly as possible. I don't want to wake up my little brother. I was so tired that I dropped myself on the bed and before I knew it was already morning.
Mom was calling me already for an hour to come and eat breakfast. But I'm not hungry.
But I need to go down someday. After a couple of hours staring outside the window I gave up and went down. My little brother was practicing with his sword, my dad has already gone working at the pup around the corner and my mother was unusually chipper today. She was cleaning the house while she was singing. She putted such lovely flowers on the table. I asked: "Mom, where did you get those beautiful flowers? " she said : "Do you know that field that we always played at when you were young ? That field has a load full of these flowers. Aren't they beautiful? " "Yes indeed they are beautiful mom. " I responded. " Hey mom, I go and check It out, okay ? " I said. "Yeah it's fine but you have to hide yourself with a cloak and you mustn't go too far and don't talk to strangers.." ."yeah mom I will be careful" I said while interrupting her.
I ran upstairs to my room to get my cloak. It's a beautiful white cloak. I wrapped it around me and walked down the stairs. When I was outside I went searching to the field. I couldn't remember it properly anymore but I do can remember the tiny little things. It couldn't be that far away I thought so I went to search around the area of my village. I was searching the whole day. Hour after hour and before I knew the sun was already setting. "I need to go home" I said to myself. So I did. I passed a few bushes and trees and then I came by a really huge green field full with beautiful yellow flowers. Just like those on our table. I was so happy that I found it that I couldn't hold myself back and began to run towards the field. I passed a lot of yellow flowers and when I couldn't run anymore I let myself drop between all those beautiful yellow flowers. I closed my eyes, thinking about today.
