Chapter One:

New Lives

"The Saviors had risen"

Juliet opened her eyes to see the blue sky. She quickly sat up. She turned around and felt the warm breeze passed by her. Her eyes widened when her gaze zeroed on the boy beside her. Her eyes lit up as tears started to form on her eyes. She gently shakes him. "Romeo" she whispered. He slowly opened his eyes revealing his sea green eyes which Juliet always loved. He slowly looked at her with a smile plastered on his face. He slowly touched her cheeks with his fingers, brushing the tears away with his finger tips.

"Why do you cry my love?" He asked as Juliet smiled. She placed her hands on his hand. "Because were alive my rose."

Both of them stared at each other but there gaze was broken when they heard a thump on the ground. They turned to the noise and their eyes widened. Standing in front of them was Romeo's mother, Lady Portia. Her Eyes were wide with shock. "Romeo…Juliet…." She whispered their name as they smiled at her.

Portia ran to them and hugged them tightly. "I thought we will never see you two again" she whispered tears were cascading from her eyes. They both hugged her back. With long moments. The three of them broke apart. She wiped away her tears and smiled at her son and also her daughter-in-law. "It's good to see you too mother." Romeo said as Juliet nodded. Portia smiled and stood up.

"We must alert everyone that you're alive and well." She said as she was about to walk away when Romeo caught her wrist.

Portia looked at her son. "What is it my son?" She asked. Romeo shook his head. "Mother it is best that no one will now that were alive."

"But Why my son?" She asked again. Juliet answered for him. "Lady Portia, we don't want others to know that were alive."

Portia was about to asked again when she say her son's look. He was pleading with her with his eyes. "Please mother, no one must know that where alive. You're the only one we could trust." He pleaded which Portia sighed and nodded.

"Fine but we must go to the covenant and so that both of you can change into normal clothes." She said. Romeo and Juliet both stood up and followed Portia.

They went to a series of Deserted alleys and stairs. "Mother who is the archduke right now?" Romeo asked. Portia smiled. "No one is the archduke my son, the people was very picky when they knew that both of you had died." She replied. "They had no one to trust in the nobles and eventually as temporary mayor they voted Vittorio."

"So, Benovlio father huh." Romeo said as they went inside a door leading to a room. Portia faced them.

"Romeo, Juliet you can take a shower while I bought the clothes alright." She said as both of them nodded. She left them after that with the sound of a click making sure that they were not going anywhere.

Juliet sighed. Romeo looked at her. "Do you want to take a shower?" he asked.

Juliet shook her head. "You can go ahead." Romeo shrugged and went inside the bathroom. Juliet faced the wall beside the bed and curled herself. She heard the water running and noises inside the bathroom as she blushed madly. The door opened. She craned her neck and saw Portia laying the clothes on the chair. She sat up from the bed and faced Romeo's mother.

"Lady Portia, Thank you for keeping us a secret." Juliet said as Portia smiled.

She sat beside the lass and took her hands between hers. "I only want my son's happiness Juliet." She said. Juliet smiled and nodded. The door to the bathroom opened slightly.

"Mother the clothes?" Romeo asked. Portia released her hand and took some clothes from the chair and gave it to Romeo. Romeo thanked her and she smiled.

"Juliet I'm going to get yours and Romeo's dinner alright." Portia said as she quickly left them.

Once she saw the door had closed. Juliet slumped on the bed again. Romeo went out wearing a white T-shirt and light blue hands. His hair was slightly wet. "What's the matter My Iris?" He asked as he sat beside her. Juliet stared at his eyes from a moment as her fingertips brushed against his lips. Romeo pulled her up and kissed her. Juliet arms went around his neck as he pulled her closed to him.

He broke the kiss and nuzzled her exposed throat. "You're sweet as always my Iris" He said while inhaling her scent.

"Romeo" She called his name as he turned to her. "I'm going to take a shower." She said while blushing madly. He chuckled and released her. She stumbled towards the bathroom in a quick haste after taking her clothes from the chair. Romeo watched her from his view. His eyes were laughing with amusement while watching her. The door opened again and his mother came carrying a tray. He quickly assisted her and put the tray on the dresser. Portia smiled at her son as he ate a croissant

"Romeo what do you plan right now?" She asked seriously. Romeo sighed and looked at the ground.

"Mother, the Escalus wants us to create a house" Romeo said.

Portia sighed. "Very Well I will talk to Vittorio about that but what are you going to do about your and Juliet's appearance." She stated her eyes were worried.

Romeo smiled. "No need to worry my mother. Just get us some clothes and some wigs." He said. "And don't worry mother we will be fine."

"Last time I check, when you said that you two ended up dead." Portia muttered under her breath but Romeo laughed but Portia sighed and smiled.

"Anyway I must be sleeping," She said. Juliet came out of the bathroom with a smile plastered on her face. Portia smiled and stood up. She hugged Romeo. "Protect her" she whispered as Romeo nodded. "Good night my son and I am proud of you." She said as Juliet smiled warmly.

"Good night Mother." Romeo responded. She broke the hug and turned to Juliet. She hugged her. "Take care of my Son Juliet." She whispered to her ears. Juliet only nod as she broke the hug.

"Good night Lady Portia" Juliet bided as she left them. Romeo approached her and wrap his arms around her waist.

"Want to eat?" She asked as Romeo nodded. Both of them went to the dresser and ate their meal. After eating, Juliet sat beside Romeo while they both watched the moon.

Romeo smiled at the memory. "It's beautiful isn't it my White Iris?" He asked. He looked down and saw her sleeping peacefully. He smiled and placed her properly on the bed before slipping beside her. He pulled her close while on instinct he felt her curled beside him. He strokes her hair while sleep claims him.
