Capulet Household
The sun was scorching down on the city of Verona during the summer day despite it only being 7am, restlessly Tybalt arose from his bed with only his boxers on due to the intolerable heat he faced during the previous night. Slowly he approached his en suite and washed himself before looking in the mirror, The Prince of Cats... such a pretty face for an orphaned bastard. Tybalt thought as a stranger's taunts from the previous day replayed in his mind, immediately he could feel his infamous anger he possessed rise in him and due to the day being hot Tybalt knew he would unlikely avoid a fight if he were to leave the safety of his home. Despite this knowledge, Tybalt still proceeded to get dressed to visit the beach later that day with his kinsmen.
Montague Household
"Lord Montague, your brother Fulke is here to see you", a housemaid announced with her head bowed and immediately Lord and Lady Montague momentarily stopped eating their breakfast as the rest of the Montague household continued, abruptly Lord Montague then cleared his throat before turning his head to view the housemaid, "Let him into the drawing room and offer him refreshments, I'll be with him shortly", he announced and the housemaid politely bowed before exiting the dining room. "I didn't know Fulke was coming today dear..", Lady Montague stated as she picked at her breakfast which was rewarded by an amused scoff from her husband, "Neither did I...", Lord Montague replied as he continued with his breakfast. "I don't even remember the last time I saw Uncle Fulke", Romeo stated excitedly, "You're basically 8 years old, of course you won't remember him", Benvolio commented as he smirked. "I am 18! I am not a child!", Romeo argued as he sent a hurt glare in Benvolio's direction, "How come you act like one then...", Benvolio provoked while taking a mouthful of toast. "Enough you two! I'm sure your Uncle Fulke will explain himself when I meet him in the drawing room, now if you would all kindly excuse me from the table so I can meet our guest." Lord Montague ordered as he stood from the dining table and exited the room.
As Lord Montague entered the drawing room he dismissed the housemaid and shut the door behind him, "Why are you here Fulke?", Lord Montague asked as the tall man sitting comfortably in the leather chair raised his attention from the cup of coffee in his hand. "Well that is no way to talk to your younger brother, where are your manners mum taught you?", Fulke asked as he took a sip from his coffee. "Don't avoid my question Fulke! Why are you here?", Lord Montague said coldly as he sent a disapproving glare in the direction of Fulke. "It must have been 16 years since the last time I saw you brother... How are things?", Fulke asked as he avoided the question once more. "Fulke for Godsake tell me why are you here!", Lord Montague yelled as he slammed his fist on the oak coffee table. "I'm here to see how things are in Verona, is that a crime?", Fulke asked innocently as he took another sip from his cup. "Of course it's not a crime, but what you did is!", Lord Montague spat back, "Oh yes... hm... How is the boy?", Fulke asked as he met his brother's glare. "You really are vile Fulke... How do you think he is... You murdered his parents when he was 8 years old, that screws up a kid Fulke... He's a monster now, he is feared in Verona and is the best duelist in this god forsaken city... You made him a beast!", Lord Montague spat once more as he looked at his brother with disgust. "Oh... well that is a shame, but he was destined to become a beast either way... Tybalt is a Capulet by blood, he was doomed to become a killer", Fulke stated coldly. "That is rich coming from a murderer like you", Lord Montague scoffed, "You're here to end what you started aren't you, his mother didn't love you so first you killed both her and her husband to be, out of your jealousy, and now you want to kill Tybalt", Lord Montague stated as he put together his brother's intentions. "You cannot kill him brother... As I said, he's the best duelist in Verona, there is no way someone like you is going to be the one to end the reign of the Prince of Cats", Lord Montague explained before smirking as Fulke's confidence was noticeably knocked, "Leave Verona before I tell the Prince of what forsaken crime you carried out 16 years ago today", Lord Montague ordered and immediately Fulke rose from his seat and approached his brother, "You're wrong brother... I will kill Tybalt", Fulke spat before leaving the Montague property.
As Lord Montague left the Drawing Room he was immediately met by his wife, "Why is he back?", She asked hastily with fear obvious in her eye, "He wants to kill Tybalt", Lord Montague answered as he rubbed his face with his left hand due to stress. "What should we do?", Lady Montague asked as she gasped, "We should send the boys to follow Uncle Fulke today as he attempts to find Tybalt", Lord Montague replied, "The day is hot my love, if Tybalt is truly wandering the streets of Verona I doubt highly a fight won't breakout", Lord Montague stated solemnly.
