Sam & Melissa A Charming Love Story
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the, Charmed characters as they belong to Aaron Spelling productions or Sam, Dean, John & Mary Winchester. & I don't own the story Romeo & Juliet as that belongs to the bard himself William Shakespeare but I do own Melissa Hale who'll be called Halliwell in this story.
Authors Note: This's set in an alternate universe to my, Charmed series now. The story is basically Romeo & Juliet with the Charmed & Supernatural characters playing the Shakespearean roles instead. The stories based on the 1996 movie version of the film wherein Leo's not a white lighter as he wasn't born in 1924 but in 1960. The Charmed Ones are not sisters & they were subsequently born in 1965, 1968 & 1970. Also instead of Melissa been from the future she was born the same year Sam Winchester was so in the year 1996 they'll both be 16 years old.
Extra Notes: The story will be the same as the original Romeo & Juliet story but maybe a little different in the fact scene where Sam comforts Melissa after killing Andy Trudeau that scene will be extended a little & the ending maybe tragic like it was in the story or it mayn't. I'll decide that when I come to it. Piper & Leo will live there at 1329 Prescott Street what'll be a mansion with their only daughter Melissa who'll be called Halliwell there & her cousin Andy who'll stay also. In San Francisco town John & Mary Winchester who isn't dead in this story will live there with their only son Sam Winchester & his cousin Dean. Their house will be a mansion to. The stories rated M for violence & sexual nature.
The Final End
Inside Church
Sam struggles for breath as he hears the firing has stopped outside.
Outside Church
The police choppers arc lights followed as it scans the scene. The firings ceased. Roy Le Grange motions the pilot inside the chopper to fly toward the church which they do. The arc light passes over the Madonna statue.
Inside Church
Sam follows the sound of the moving chopper as it flies overhead.
Greenhouse
Pastor Jim's face is suddenly bleached with the blinding light of the arc light as he looks up through the broken pane of glass above his head. He sees an avenging angel high above the Madonna statue. Roy Le Grange's chopper, it's arc light streaming into the Greenhouse from behind the statue.
Inside Church
Sam, leaning against the brass doors, listens as the sound of the chopper recedes into the distance. A moment of relief occurs in him then his consciousness settles upon the light that emanates through the gap between the inner doors of the church. The threat from outside begins to fade as Sam, rising slowly, gun dangling from one hand, ever so delicately pushes the door open with the other. As the door opens, it reveals an image of unexpected beauty. The velvety black cavern of the church's glowing warm with hundreds of lit candles that converge around a towering tent like shroud, through which the shadowy silhouette of a sleeping girls seen. Sam walks slowly down the aisle, each painful step bringing him closer & closer to the sleeping girl. When he completes journey, he gently pulls back the fine translucent cloth to reveal the unbearable vision of his wife's face, even more beautiful in the seeming death. Sam kneels close as if not wanting to wake the sleeping child. Unconscious tears fall from his eyes as he whispers.
Sam: Oh my darling wife! Death has sucked the very breath outta you but it hasn't taken away your beauty. You're not defeated: your lips & cheeks are still beautiful, & don't look pale, like a dead person's does.
He settles down beside her & draws her into his arms. As he does, he becomes more confused by her warm, seemingly alive body.
Sam: Oh dear Melissa why do you look so beautiful? It almost seems like death to adore you, & is keeping you here like a lover.
He takes Melissa's wedding ring from of his necklace.
Sam: But I'll prevent that I'll stay with you in this palace of death forever.
He places the wedding ring on her finger, & gently kisses it. Melissa's hand ever so slightly moves. Sam doesn't notice this.
Sam: Eyes see her for the last time! Arms hold her once more! & lips, kiss her to make the final bargain to join her in death.
He brushes her face ever so lightly then gently kisses Melissa's lips. As he moves away Melissa's eyes open up. A dream like image of her & Sam are seen against a halo of candle light. Melissa seeing him smiles ever so lightly & reaches out for him.
Sam: Here's to you my lovely wife.
He brings the vial to his lips. Melissa's hand almost touches Sam's face. Sam drinks the potion as Melissa's hand brushes the side of his cheek Startled Sam drops the vial which smashes on the floor. He grabs Melissa's hand & looks at her. Seeing this Melissa eyes go wide. Sam's in an uncomprehending realization. Melissa looks at him in a blurry consciousness.
Melissa: Sam.
He's still clutching her hand; his breath races & he shakes from the effects of the drug. He fights to speak, convulses, collapsing in Melissa's lap. She forces herself up & cradles his head in her arms.
Melissa: Oh darling what've you taken?
Sam's clear wide eyes stare back. He's completely still but for the sound of weak breaths desperately drawn from motionless lips. Melissa finds the broken vial beside him.
Melissa: What's this? A bottle in my love's hand? Now I see it's poison that's killed him. Oh Sam why didn't you leave me some so that I could join you after? Maybe some poisons on your lips. I will kiss them to try & get my share of it.
She delicately kisses Sam's lips.
Melissa: (Heartbroken Whisper) Your lips are warm.
Desperately the lovers cling to each other. With all his desire to stay alive, Sam whispers.
Sam: (Whispering To Melissa) with this kiss I die. I love you.
He head falls sideways as tears fall from his right eyes. He's still. Silence. Tears flow freely from Melissa's eyes. She hugs tightly Sam's lifeless body to her.
Melissa: (Crying) Oh Sam my darling beautiful Sam.
She looks & sees the gun resting nearby. Ever so gently she takes it in her hand &, fighting through fear, turns the barrel toward herself. She pulls the trigger back & places it at the left side of her temple. She looks up at the ceiling serene almost. Her fingers are on the trigger as tears fall down her eyes. On her finger she just squeezes the trigger when Pastor Jim bursts into the hall seeing the scene in front of him. A shocked looks seen on his face. He comes towards Melissa.
Pastor Jim: Come, Melissa.
Melissa's eyes flash open to see Pastor Jim in front of her completely still with his hand outstretched. He waits for a moment; then, like a parent calming a frightened child, he whispers;
Pastor Jim: Come Melissa come away for fate, that's stronger than all of us has ruined our plans.
Melissa contemplates his outstretched hand. Slowly she seems to soften. Pastor Jim edges ever so closer.
Pastor Jim: Come Melissa come away.
Melissa's eyes settle on Pastor Jim's outstretched hand. He touches the gun. Melissa with painful resignation,
slowly begins to release the gun. Pastor Jim almost has it when suddenly a bang in the doors heard which's been worked from, from outside. Startled Melissa looks to the door. Pastor Jim turns round in horror, The door bangs open. In a moments silence a clicking of a guns heard but before he has time to turn around a deafening sounds heard thorough out the church. The gun falls from Melissa's temple. Pastor Jim looks on shocked. The door open revealing Roy Le Grange & other policeman who see the scene also looking on shocked. Melissa's head rests on Sam's chest arms outstretched as a wash of deep red blood floods across them both. A long beats held on that.
Coming above them the song "Liebestods" heard as the two lovers lay peacefully in their deathbed, lit by the ring of candles around them. As it gets higher images of how they meet planned their wedding got married &
consummated their marriages seen. The last picture holds on them kissing passionately in the pool from the balcony scene. The people in the church stand in front of the young lovers as higher up we finally come to.
Outside St Teresa's Church
The outside of the church past the Madonna statue. Night slowly transforms into a gray cold morning. Coming down to the front an assortment of police cars, press & assembled crowd. The back door of a police car opens a devastated Piper Halliwell & Mary Winchester are being attended to. Two stretchers come out of the church doors & slowly get loaded into two awaiting ambulances. As the doors close, we discover Leo Wyatt & John Winchester with their faces revealing all. Roy Le Grange walks between them. The 3 men stand there with nothing to say. Roy Le Grange catches their gaze.
Roy Le Grange: Look what's come out from your grudges & hate. Heaven has punished you by taking away the thing you hold dear most. & my punishment for ignoring your feuds the loss of your only children. All of you are punished. ALL OF YOU ARE PUNISHED!
As the ambulances pull away, we go upward into the sky. The cries of Mary & Piper & the scratchy calls of police & television reporters are heard.
Newsroom
The image of the anchorwoman at the start of the stories seen through the television.
Anchorwoman: It's a sad peace that comes this morning. No sun will be seen on this gloomy day. Let's leave here so we can discuss the tragedy further. We'll pardon some & punish others for never was there a story so sad as this of Sam & his wife Melissa.
The anchorwoman changes the beat to the next story; but her dialogue fades, & her image gets smaller as the television recedes into the black distance. The music that reminds us most of the two lost lives swells. When the televisions very small it is witched off.
