My thoughts were taken from me. There was nothing I could think of besides Escalus. She was calling my name; Ophelia was there for my doom. What dangers lie ahead? The seed was swelling deep inside, she was trying to push me faster. I couldn't do anything anymore, except hope for Romeo to find a way to stop me . . . Would I accept him? Would I accept his help? Or would Ophelia keep her word and will take me by force? My father's sword clenched in my grasp as I hold it closer to my breast. The pain in my legs started to move up, my stomach felt heavy, my heart was beating faster than normal. I panicked! She was beckoning me to move faster. Her sweet devilish voice echoed inside my head, it took away any thoughts I had.
"Capulet flower, doth thou have any regrets?"
"N-none." I replied breathlessly.
"Do not lie." Ophelia, "I happen to know that thee doth have many a regrets."
"I never got to say farewell to my friends."
"That does not matter now, child." Her voice called, "They will remember you."
"They don't know that I am willingly to die for them . . ."
"They do not need to know, Capulet." Paused Ophelia, her voice sound faint and weak, "The time is quickly approaching."
"Ophelia . . ."
There was no answer.
"Father . . . Mother . . . Please . . ." I pause, "Please let those I love understand why I am doing for the sake of the world . . . for Neo Verona."
I continued to pray, nothing calmed my stressing mind. My nerves were pulling at my, trying to get me to blow up at any moment.
"I must be the sacrificial lamb . . ." I jest, "I must protect the innocent lives of Neo Verona. I must protect you . . ."
My tears fell.
"Romeo."
