On with the story...
7. Finding Myself! (Literally!)
Putting up her black mask on, Juliet runs through the alley very cautiously. She looked around to see if any Red or any Blue around, whatever the color or the garden was, they were all evil and aggressive, especially the doubles of her father and her cousin. And she never thought that the Gnomeo from this world would be such a beast, a heartless monster and nothing like her husband. This was all so confusing to her, especially when she hasn't recovered her memory yet. While getting lost in her thoughts and questions, she bumps into someone. She looks up and gasps when she sees who it was...
"Hey! Watch where you're going! The gnome cried , her voice sounded familiar
"Me?! You should have watched were you...! Juliet stopped
She knew who it was but it left her speechless! It was her double, another Juliet! She looked exactly like her except that she was a little dirty and paler than the real one. She had the same Red dress she had but except it was ripped in the bottom. The Juliet from this world also had long hair, not as longer as the real Juliet's. And her hair was tangled and filled with leaves and she had scratches on her shoulder and small ones on her face but she had the exact same eyes and face as the real Juliet. They both look at eachother in awe and confusion...
"Who are you!? Juliet asked, confused as she pulled down her mask
"Uh... are you me?! This has to be a trick? Other Juliet ask, shaking
Juliet stood up and helped her "Well, it's no trick I'll tell you that!
"Great, I come back to see if this stupid fighting was calmed down and instead I see weapons, wars and a look alike me" other Juliet scoffs
"Well, I am you, but not from here. I'm from, how can you say..? From another universe?
"Very funny, you're been watching too much TV" other Juliet teases
"I'm serious! I am from another universe!
"Well, prove it"
"Well unlike you, I don't have many scars and I'm married" Juliet held up her wedding ring, making other Juliet open her mouth in shock.
"Ok, fine I believe you, nothing like that happens around here. You seem to be living a better life than me!" Then other Juliet got a crazy idea "Can I come back with you?!
"Sorry, I don't think things will get better if you're missing, they've already mistaken me for you!
"Well, I couldn't live here anymore! Nothing but fighting everyday and Dad was gonna make me marry to some devil! Other Juliet grunts as she crosses her arms.
"He was?! Juliet asks
"Yeah. So I left"
"Look, I don't know how I got here but I feel like this world needs what my world has, and that is love and happiness with a truce with those Blues"
"That's gonna be hard because we've been in war with them more than my existence. It'll be difficult to become friends with them, especially the leader's son, Gnomeo. He's worst of all of them; he doesn't have mercy on anyone and less on the Reds, a real monster" other Juliet growl in anger.
"Yeah, I noticed. I bump into him and tried to kill me, maybe he mistook me for you. Does he know you?
"Well... I'm not sure if he knows me, but that doesn't make him any less different from the others"
"I understand"
"Wait, if you're me, so there's must be another Gnomeo in your world, right?
"Yeah, there is"
"And how is he? Is he a despicable gnome without scruples too?
"Eh... not exactly" Juliet chuckles nervously
"What do you mean? Other Juliet asked as she raise her eye brow at her double.
"Can this answer your question? Juliet holds up her wedding ring but confuses other Juliet.
"A wedding ring? But what does this have to do with my question? You're married but to who?
"To me" a voice said from behind real Juliet. Gnomeo comes up behind the real Juliet and holds her hand but the other Juliet's eyes widen in shock by seeing a look-alike the devilish double of the Gnomeo she knew.
"And who you might be...? She looks closer at him and it hit her! "OH MY GOD!
The real Juliet chuckles nervously "Juliet, this is Gnomeo, my husband" she introduced nervously but other Juliet was shocked and confused without saying a word and Juliet noticed. Then Juliet turns to her husband "Uh, Gnomeo, can you leave me talking to myself? She asks him as she kissed his cheek.
Gnomeo got confused but agreed "Ok, that sounded weird but ok" he kissed her cheek and left the doubles alone in the alley.
The other Juliet is still lost out of words "You're married to him? She yelled/whisper.
Real Juliet nods "Yep"
"Wow, we are nothing alike"
"Look, I know this is shocking but I can explain..."
"He's a Blue, Juliet! And this might sound weird when I'm telling it to myself but I'll tell you anyway. We're suppose to hate them because they hate us"
"Don't be so sure about that. I hated them too before I met Gnomeo and I... kinda... fell in love with him"
"Oh, god! I'm gonna puck" she gag in disgust
"You never what would happen. Maybe you might fall in love with your Gnomeo, I mean the Gnomeo from this world"
"NOT IN A MILLION OF YEARS!
"That's the same thing I said and I tried to deny it but my heart couldn't blinded me from my love for him anymore. He gave up all his hate and lack of revenge just to be with me and I gave up my hate by love for him. It was hard at first when my Dad, his mum and our gardens found out, they were shocked but everything turn out at the end and we've been accepted to live happy together"
"Do you think to could happen to me and my garden, to live in peace with the Blues?
"I know it will because I'm gonna help you"
"Thanks, Jules, I appreciate that" other Juliet smiles and hugs her double.
Suddenly, they hear Gnomeo's voice coming from the abandon garden.
"JULIET, WATCH OUT!
Juliet and her double ran into the abandon garden and the found Gnomeo inside the shed, all desperate and freaking out "What's the matter, Gnomeo? Real Juliet asked
"He escaped! He yells
"Who? Other Juliet asked
"Him! I mean, I escaped! I mean, the me of this world escaped! He mutters until both the Juliets finally understood him.
"He's loose?! We have to find him! Real Juliet cried
But other Juliet was confused "What do you mean "we"?
"I mean you and me. We have to reason with him" she said
"You're not trying to set me up with him, are you? her double asked
"Trust me; I know what I'm doing. And I need your help, I can't do it alone"
"I don't know about this, Jules. I'm scared" she whines
Juliet was surprised "Wow, you're right, we are nothing alike"
"Please, don't get me involve in this, especially with him"
"You can't be filled with hate and fear your whole life, Jules! In my world, I let nothing get in my way, I am feisty, stubborn, and independent and I can get in a real rage when I'm being called delicate"
"Yeah, me too, sometimes I even think I am that word" she frowns
"Well, you're not! Because you are me and we're the same person! So you need to step up your game and show me the real you!
"Are you insane?! The Gnomeo from his world is basically a devil! He would never love anyone! He's like Tybalt only x100 worst!"
"Ok, ok, I get it, love is not exists here. But we can help you, but helping both these gardens find peace is not gonna be easy"
"But we'll try; meanwhile, we need to find a place to hide"
"I can help with that" other Juliet smirks. She takes them back to the abandon garden and heads to a very tall tree, she kicks it and a latter falls down.
"This is old tree house I took that might have belonged to human children years ago but was abandon, we can hide it" she says as they climb up and Other Juliet brings up the latter.
Real Juliet gasps "Wow this place is huge!"
"Yeah, human sized stuff does come in handy" other Juliet says
Soon night fell, Juliet rested herself next to Gnomeo as he held her close in his arms; they had a nice toy fireplace in front of them and large blankets as beds and sleeping bags. Suddenly, Juliet gets a headache by her lack of memory; she get up from Gnomeo's embrace, trying not to wake him up. With a yawn, she goes to bucket in a corner and splashed some water in her face to cool off. As she goes back to the blanket to go back to sleep, she sees her double, looking out the window. Juliet walks up to her side and join her as they both look at the sky filled with stars and a full moon.
"Can't sleep? Juliet asks her as she rested herself on the window.
"Not much when you have a battlefield next to you" Other Juliet sighs "I wish the view was nicer"
They can all see the war gardens clearly and they could hear the scrams, their father's battle calls and Gnomeo's mother leading her garden too for attack. It was getting out of hand but Juliet is determining to help her double have the life she has, or at least remembered.
"So what have you been doing since you ran away?" Juliet asked
Other Juliet answers "Been on the road, staying at friends gardens, here and there, just being away from everything"
"So you're on your own?"
"Yup, just me"
"Must be lonely"
"It's better than being down there in that war zone" other Juliet sighs
Suddenly, Juliet spotted something familiar "Hey, you see that greenhouse over there! Juliet points over to the greenhouse, which was far away in the other side of the garden.
"Yeah, I used to go there to hide from all this chaos"
"That greenhouse is very special to me"
"Yeah? How so?
"It's where I first met Gnomeo. It was on a starry night with the full moon like this one. By most what I remember, it was a truly magical night; it was love at first sight. I was on own little quest to find this Cupid Arrow's Orchid but I guess I found something better that night"
"That sounds like a very romantic story. And how did you guys survive with all of this?" her double asked as she pointed at the garden wars.
"We knew what we were doing was dangerous and risky but we didn't care. We usually sneaked away to see eachother but soon the secret was out and it was ended up in chaos by a misunderstanding"
"What was it?
"The Blue garden attacked my garden because they thought it was my fault that Gnomeo was dead"
"He was dead?
"No. I thought he was but he wasn't. But I was devastated back then, it killed me when I thought he was gone forever from my life but when I saw that he was still alive, my heart revived. But with the war still going on, we almost got killed in the process. I told him to go, to leave me die but he didn't"
"Then what happened?
"My Dad and his mum made a truce; that's when everyone realize we were still alive and the rest is history"
"Wow, I knew hate can destroy people but I never imagine it could also destroy the ones around you too"
"It's better to live together than to live apart"
They close the window and walk over to the blankets and they sit across eachother as Juliet puts a smaller blanket over her husband before she fell asleep. Other Juliet watched and was a little jealous that her double had a better life than her, especially by being with a Blue.
Other Juliet lay down on her bed "You both are lucky; you have each other and live in peace with your families. That's something that I can never have" she frowns.
"Don't worry, Jules. I promise that this will all end pretty soon" Real Juliet smile as she held they held hand in a friendly way.
Other Juliet smiles "Well, better get some rest" she says and they all go to sleep, hearing the terrible shouts of a war next to them...
Well, that's it for now... I'll come back with the rest of this story if I ever get the next chapter finish but I have someone to help me with it, so don't u worry about me. See ya guys later, LUV U ALL!
