A/N: Okay, so, one of my favorite love story's is Romeo and Juliet, so this is kinda like me experimenting with a crossover. it is told in Bella's point of veiw. Some of the lines might not be right, but that is because, sadly, i lost my copy of Romeo and Juliet. oh, and i don't own Twilight, or Romeo and Juliet, though i wish i did. so here is the story.
I was sitting in Edward and my room, watching the news. The news program ended and a special came on. After a hauntingly romantic tune played, the newscaster appeared. "It has been 200 years to the day from the dark night of two suicides. From two families, both alike in dignity, an ancient grudge breaks to new mutiny, where pair of starcrossed lovers take their life in fair Verona where we lay our scene. This is now the two hours traffic of our show."
I tuned the newscaster out. I remembered the events well that led the two "star crossed lovers" to take their life.
Emmett and Jasper were walking along the paths of the cit, talking about the feud.
"The quarrel is between our masters." Jasper said, trying to keep the peace.
"And us their men!" Emmett added, always looking for a fight. "Oh look, here comes of the house of Capulet. I shall bite my thumb at them, which is a disgrace, if they will bear it."
"Or you could just suck their blood." Jasper added sarcastically, seeing Quil and Embry round the corner.
"And taste the blood of a werewolf?" Emmett spat, biting his thumb.
Almost at once, Quil and Embry noticed this. "Do you bite your thumb at me?" Embry asked as Quil started shaking.
"I bite my thumb sir." Came Emmett's reply.
"But do you bite your thumb at me, sir?"
"Is the law on my side if I say aye?" Emmett asked Jasper.
"No." was Jasper's response.
"Then no, I do not bite my thumb at you, but I do bite my thumb, sir."
Quil's shaking became worse and he erupted into werewolf form and leapt at Emmett. Before Emmett could fight back, Jasper grabbed him. When questioned about it, he replied "I do but keep the peace."
"Peace?" Embry replied, "I hate the word."
Upon that, the four of them started fighting. Blows were given and received, until Sam Uley broke them up. "Thrice you have disrupted the quiet of our streets, Capulet and Montague. If ever you disturb our streets again, your lives will pay the forfeit of the peace."
The two parties went their separate ways. When Jasper and Emmett passed the house of Montague, Esme came out. She had been noticing Edward slipping into a depression. "When mourning comes, he locks himself in an artificial night." She told Jasper.
I will find out what troubles Edward, or much be denied." Jasper assured her and left Emmett to go and find out why Edward was so troubled. When he found Edward, he was lamenting. Jasper asked if it was because he was in love.
"No Jasper, it's because I'm out of love. Out of love's favor were I am in love!" Edward cried at him.
"Who is this beauty who has sparked your interest, my cuz?"
"The fair Tanya, who no matter how I woo, always denies me."
"How so?"
"She has sworn a vow of chastity. She's so beautiful. Any vampire would want her as his bride."
"And yet she has still vowed chastity?"
"Aye."
Just then, they passed a town crier, passing a message from Renee Capulet about a masquerade ball. "If you are not of the house of Montague, come and crush a cup of wine!"
It took a while, but Jasper finally convinced him to come to a masquerade ball my parents were throwing at our manor. "There you will see other beauty's that far surpass that of fair Tanya's." Jasper encouraged.
"But I am Edward Montague; I shall never be aloud in."
"Fear not, Rosalie has gotten an invitation, and will bring us."
I'm working on the next chapter, which will take place in Capulet manor. Please read and reveiw!
