Chapter 4: 2nd Death Anniversary
The day of the second death anniversary of Romeo and Juliet arrived. It was early in the morning when it was still dawn in Neo Verona. At the house of Benvolio, Benvolio was still asleep, while Cordelia was up and well prepared for the death anniversary, was preparing breakfast. After breakfast was prepared, Cordelia went to wake Benvolio up, at the bedroom…
Cordelia: Dear, wake up don't you know today is the day.
Benvolio woke up, still drowsy said…
Benvolio: What are we going to do today?
Cordelia: Ugghhh… Don't you remember it's the second death anniversary of our friends, Romeo and Juliet.
Benvolio who's drowsiness disappeared. Right away became active, after hearing what Cordelia said to him about Romeo and Juliet. Then suddenly Benvolio got up from bed and said…
Benvolio: Sorry, I completely forgot.
Cordelia: Come down to the dining room if you're ready so we can eat, and after that we can go to the grave of our friends
After that Cordelia went down to the dining room. While Benvolio in a hurry got himself fixed, and began changing his clothes. After he was well prepared he went down to eat. They ate a lot of food, and after they ate they washed the dishes. When everything was done they left the house, on their way to the grave of Romeo and Juliet…
Cordelia: Oh my!
Benvolio:
What is it?
Cordelia: You're using the nobleman uniform
of the Montagues. Oh my you have also the crest of the
Montague family on the right chest of you're clothes. I wonder people might be whispering bad things about you. They might think you are still loyal to a family which no longer rules Neo Verona or Exists.
Benvolio: I wore this suit for my friend Romeo, to remember my past times with him. I almost forgot, do you have an iris?
Cordelia: I have one iris, but I don't have a rose.
Benvolio: You go ahead to the cemetery, while I go find a rose.
Cordelia: Okay then, anyway the rose is your job to find, not me.
Benvolio: See you then later
Cordelia: See you later also
Benvolio right away ran to the ruined castle. He reached the entrance of the castle and said…
Benvolio: It looks a lot different from what it looks two years ago. Any way the back garden of the castle is to the left. Since I once served the Montague family I know much of this castle.
Benvolio ran through many ruined rooms of the castle, which were destroyed and dusty .until he reached the back garden of the castle. He saw a lot of Roses. He was amazed and happy to see a lot of roses that he began then picking some roses. Suddenly while picking some roses he again saw the boy with blue hair and the girl with red hair. The two of them saw Benvolio again and the two of them went near him again. Benvolio who was a bit scared, turned not afraid anymore and actually was happy to see them, because he knew those were the spirits of Romeo and Juliet. Then the spirit of Romeo said…
Romeo: Benvolio, old friend why getting some roses now?... Yesterday it was irises…
Benvolio: Old friend, this rose I'm collecting is for you and the iris is for lady Juliet.
Juliet: That's kind of you remembering our death anniversary, Where Cordelia anyway?
Benvolio: My lady she's at your graves with the iris, while I come with the rose later on
Romeo: ohh Benvolio… You are in your noble clothes. You use to wear that when I was alive, but you stopped wearing it when my father banished your family from nobility.
Benvolio: Even if the Montague rule is over I will still wear this for you.
Romeo: I'm happy you spoke straight to us today. Yesterday you fainted for you were scared of us but now you are brave
Juliet: yah…We better get going now Benvolio… Hope you remember us…
Benvolio: Bye now then…
Then the spirits of Romeo and Juliet disappeared in front of Benvolio. After getting what he needed. Benvolio hurried back to the grave of Romeo and Juliet. While he was still passing inside the ruined castle he saw a part of the castle he still didn't go. It was the way to the big tree, Escalus
