Julia Coppler and Ronan Montagna. One, daughter of the wealthy owner of an influential shipping company. The other, an unknown fisherman of questionable parentage. Julia and Ronan were from two very different worlds; perhaps, their story is an obvious one.
Ronan first saw Julia walking along the beach, and fell instantly in love. Although she returned his affections, her father did not approve. Theirs was a rich family; Julia would marry for profit, not love. He tried to keep them apart, but they found ways to see each other, until, at last, neither of them could stand it. They made a plan to run away. It was dangerous, but they felt it was necessary.
Ronan would moor his boat at the bottom of a cliff. A small path led up the side almost to Julia's door. At the next good rain, they would flee together, down the cliff and across the Sound to freedom.
All seemed to be going well. The storm wasn't a bad one, and Ronan had little trouble navigating his way through it. He climbed the cliff to meet Julia, grinning like a fool at the thought of their future together. He barely had time to register the three armed men before his body fell to the mud.
Julia watched, in tears, as her father killed her beloved and threw his body into the Sound. He had caught her trying to sneak out, and had called his two best men to help deal with the nuisance once and for all. He thought with Ronan out of the way, Julia would finally do as he said without question. He was wrong.
Her heart not just broken, but shattered, Julia threw herself from her balcony to join her Ronan in eternity. Some say their story ended there. Others know better.
Years later, a young newly-wed couple bought the property. Within the space of a few months, they joined hands and walked into the Sound. Their bodies were never recovered.
The house next belonged to a wealthy businessman who lived alone with his daughter. She was courted by a pleasant enough lad, and her father more than approved. Indeed, he encouraged their relationship. After a time, however, the girl began behaving strangely. She often accused her father of hating her beau and plotting to murder him. Although it was a great shock for most, it came as little surprise to others when the two jumped from the balcony together, the same balcony that had belonged to Julia.
The house was vacant for a time, during which neighbors reported strange lights, and the sounds of a young woman sobbing. To prove their bravery, a boy and his girlfriend snuck into the house one night. They were found some days later in Julia's bedroom. They appeared to have drowned.
Several families owned the house over the years. Each of them suffered some horrible tragedy that mimicked the sad tail of Julia and Ronan. Finally, the house fell into the hands of a wealthy bachelor. It had been vacant for a long time, but that was of little concern to him. If he could afford two houses, he could easily pay for the repairs of a third.
He looked around in satisfaction at the job his workers had done. They were the best money could buy, and it showed. The house had been restored to its original state, save for the plumbing and electricity. It was a very grand affair, complete with a large hanging chandelier in the foyer. Every great house needed a chandelier in the foyer.
"How is it, Mr. Masters?" the foreman remained to ask while his crew loaded the rest of their equipment.
Vlad smiled ominously. "Perfect."
A/N: There was something I wanted to say, but dang if I can remember what. I also wanted to say, though, that I have no idea how Ronan's last name is pronounced. I just found it on the internet while doing a search for sir names, and thought it made a nice parallel to Romeo's sir name of Montague. Gee, can we tell what the theme of this one is going to be?
/some time later/ Wait, I remembered. Faded, you asked if there was a spark...heh heh...between Danny and Kat. Kat is almost twice his age; she's more of a ghostly big sister than a potential love interest. Although, her role as such hasn't quite stabilized yet, so there could be something right now simply because their of opposing genders. But no. Sorry.
