A/N: Hi everyone, so another chapter and as you may have already understood one about Romeo and Julia. It's a rather dark chapter so forgive me for that, but I just feel like writing dark stuff lately... I have been very busy for some time now (as I have said before) and probably will be for some time. But I will try to get as much up as possible.

So I hope you will like this story and please tell me what you thought about it.

Merlin's eyes widened themselves as he heard screaming in the distance. His heart skipped a beat before he started to run. His feet soon reached a large square, but as he did he immediately stopped in his tracks.

He gasped at the sight in front of him, the few people on the square were frozen, their eyes filled with fear as they stared at the blood stained stones in the middle. But what really captured the warlock's attention where the people standing in the middle of it all... and the man lying on the ground.

It was then that he heard a man shout in pure terror. 'Mercutio!'

As he heard the piercing scream he placed his hands on his mouth, covering the pure shock he felt. It wasn't... it couldn't... The crying man on the ground was no one else then... then... Lancelot. His eyes shifted to the others standing around the noblest knight of them all and his eyes fell on Elyan. The other knight carried a blooded sword in his hands, probably the cause of all the blood on the ground. The death man on the ground was covered in his own blood, spread over his cloths and his brown hair... his brown hair... his heart broke as he realised who the man was that lay death in front of them. Gwaine.

But as he stood frozen at the edge of the square the others started to act on the event that had just happened. Many angered and terrified faces 'How dare you kill him!' Lancelot shouted as he draw his sword and pointed it to Elyan's chest. 'Tybalt, I challenge you to a duel!'

Tybalt glared at Lancelot before tightening his grip on his sword. 'Fine, I accept your challenge, Romeo!'

Before Merlin even realised it the both of them slammed their swords against the other's. The sound of metal against metal filled the air, but as soon as the fight started it also ended. Tybalt let out a loud terrifying scream as Romeo's sword pierced his stomach.

Tybalt sank to his knees as his eyes turned blank, he looked once up at the man standing before him before he fell death to the ground. Romeo stood over him, his expression telling clearly that he was as shocked to see the blood on his sword as the others were, that he regretted his act. His eyes shifted to one of the other man standing in the clearing before he ran off.

As people started to realise what had happened they started to panic. People talked and screamed, but Merlin was just to shocked after seeing his friends kill each other, he slowly walked backwards, away from this chaos, away from so much death.

Merlin stared at his feet as he walked, ignoring the beautiful garden around him, he couldn't believe what had happened the day before... Elyan killed Gwaine and Lancelot killed Elyan. It should have never come to this, friends shouldn't kill friends! Even when they didn't know about the bond they shared, fate was just too cruel

It was the sound of crying that shook him out of his thoughts. He walked closer to where the sound came from and saw a beautiful young girl crying in a small clearing.

He felt his heart skip a beat as he also recognized the young girl. He took a deep breath before walking towards her, laying a soft hand on her shoulder. 'My child, what's wrong?'

She shook up from both his words as his touch, but she didn't look in his eyes, probably to ashamed to show him her tears. 'I... no, there's nothing.'

'There is, otherwise you wouldn't cry.'

'I... I... the man I love is banished and now they force me to marry another.'

It felt as something pierced his heart, no one should ever be forced to marry someone, especially as they loved another. '... I'm sorry to hear that.' He told her and he saw another tear roll down her face. 'Is there something I can do for you?'

She sniffed. 'The only way out of it all would be my death... but I'm not ready to die yet.'

He gasped. 'You should never say something like that, death is never the answer!' He grabbed both her shoulders.

The girl finally lifted her head to face him and he stared in a pair of deep brown eyes, eyes that were so familiar to him. As she looked at him her face changed into something that told him that she recognized him from somewhere, but that she didn't know from where. It was clear she didn't remember her life as Gwen, queen of Camelot.

'Have we met before?' She indeed asked.

The warlock gave her a soft grin. 'Not in this life.' She starred confused at him. 'So what's your name?'

'Juliet.'

'Nice to meet you Juliet, I'm Merlin.' She gave him a smile through her tears. 'I guess we need a plan.' He just simply said.

And with those words they started to think of an plan. She may not remember him, but she seemed to trust him. Julia told him more about her situation, she was in love with Romeo, which wasn't such a surprise as he was Lancelot, and that she was forced to marry a man named Paris.

But as they sat for an hour both of them couldn't come up with a working plan and eventually the girl let out a deep sigh and said. 'It seems that death is the only way out for me.'

He himself also sighed, but then his eyes lit up. He jumped up and smiled as he took her head in his hands. 'That is it!'

'What's it?'

'You can't marry anyone if your death!'

She looked frightened at him. 'Do you want to kill me?'

He looked at her for a moment before answering. 'Of course not, but if people believe that you're death then you don't have to marry him. We can sneak you out of the city and you can be with your Romeo.'

Merlin stared down at the young girl lying on the table in front of him. She looked pale and her hands were crossed above her chest, she looked so peaceful. The plan had worked and everyone assumed that she was death, but only the two of them knew that it was a deep sleeping potion.

He looked once more at Juliet before turning around and walking away, he would come back later that night to take her out of the city. The give her the future she deserved.

He had noticed that there were two people that had entered the room where Juliet lay, one of them hooded and the other clothed in an expensive suit, but he was sure that the first of them was Romeo and the other one was probably Paris.

The raven gulped as he knew that it would probably be a bad idea to leave the two of them alone in the room with the woman they loved. And as he heard the sound of a sword against sword he was sure that it had been a terrible choice.

He ran inside and before he could open the door he heard a loud scream. The floor was filled with blood from the nobleman, enough blood to tell that the man wasn't alive anymore, Romeo had killed his second man.

Romeo then turned to Juliet, his loved one and fell to the cold stones. Many tears slipped from his eyes and he let out the most heartbreaking scream Merlin had ever heard. The man leaned closer to her and placed a gentle kiss on her cold lips, brushing through her dark hairs as he whispered soft warm words to her.

Merlin stared at the two of them, he couldn't see any more of it, he had to tell him the truth about their plan, that she was still alive. But as he began to speak he saw how the brunette grabbed a small bottle out of his jacket.

It wasn't long before the warlock realised what it was, poison. He screamed to stop him. 'No!' But it was already too late, Romeo turned to face him and smiled before he quickly turned back to Julia and poured the liquid into his mouth.

He ran to the dying man, but as he reached his old friend the man died, it was a quick poison one that he believed would bring him to his love.

'Lancelot... Lancelot... why?' He whispered as he brushed the man's cheek, while big warm tears rolled over his face.

It felt like only mere seconds that he heard a soft moan. His eyes shifted to Juliet as she slowly opened her eyes. He himself just stared as she saw the sight of the room she was in. Juliet's eyes stopped by Romeo's body, watching the man that she loved so much. And it were minutes before she realised that he was death.

'What?' She whispered to Merlin, not leaving Romeo's eyes.

'H-he thought that you were death... and... and he killed himself.'

'No!' She screamed in a pain filled scream and she threw herself on his body, hoping that she could wake him from his death, wake him from his fate. 'Please... please, Romeo, Romeo...' After that she only mimed the name with her lips, knowing that there was no hope.

'Gw... Juliet.' He asked as he placed his hand on her arm.

She pushed his hand of and looked at him with almost death eyes. 'I can't life without him.'

He wanted to oppose to her, wanted to tell her she had to live, but... but he knew that she was broken, her eyes were that of a death woman. There was nothing left for her to live for. But.. but he couldn't let her die, he wouldn't see someone he loved die again. 'Please, don't.' He tried

She smiled at him. 'I am sorry.' She whispered before pulling a dagger out of her lover's jacket and thrust it into her own heart. He tried to stop her, but she was death before he could touch her, her death eyes staring at him as she lay silently on the ground.

He stared at the two lovers, his eyes wide as he saw their death cold bodies as he fully understood what had just happened before his eyes. He had failed, he had failed again. He should have stopped both of them. He should have allowed them to live. He looked one last time at them, he wouldn't forget them and their story, the story about Romeo and Juliet.

A tear roll down his cheeks as he backed away, he couldn't stay here anymore. He left, not caring for the blood on his cloths, never looking back as he walked out of the city that was now filled with painful cries.
