In this story the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer but the inspiration and chapter titles come from William Shakespeare's epic tale, Romeo & Juliet.

Chapter 2. From ancient grudge break to new mutiny.

Edward walked through the door to the sound of an argument echoing loudly off the walls of his father's study. His father's displeasure was obvious in the chilling tone that he used to respond to the hot-headed spewing of words issuing forth from his older brother, Jasper.

"Edward is not too young. We need him. It's more than time he was trained in the family business!"

The mention of his name made Edward pause. Could his father finally be relenting?

"No, Jasper, Edward is only seventeen. I will not countenance it!"

Edward continued walking up the stairs to his room.
