5. Wherever You Might Be, I'll Be There
Juliet's POV
(Flashback)
It was middle of December and the garden was covered in white glowing snow. The fresh snow covered the entire garden and the pond was frozen solid, good enough for ice skating. The Red gnomes were enjoying the fun of this mini Winter Wonderland. I heard their cheers of happiness and it crushed me. I was only 9 years old, locked in isolation in my room next to my pedestal in the far dark corner of the garden. I had a good reason why I locked myself away; it was to prevent myself of hurting anybody in my family or garden, especially my brother, Willy. At that time, I only thought of him after the incident happened. I accidentally hurt him with y powers and since then I shut him out of my life.
I stayed frozen behind my pedestal when I heard footsteps coming, I knew it was him cause he always
"Jules?" I heard my older brother, Willy knocking on my "door". "Do you wanna build a snowman? Come on, sis, let's go and play!" he knocks on my door, waiting for me to answer it but I never did.
"I never see you anymore. Come out of there and let's go and play. You're always back there. It's like you've gone away. We used to be best buddies and now we're no. I just wish you would tell me why cause I don't understand. Do you wanna build a snowman? It doesn't have to be a snowman if you don't want to. We can always do something you want. What do you say, sis?"
I clearly heard his pleads. I tried to held back my tears but it aques my heart and didn't had another choice than say "Go away, Willy"
Guillermo frowns with pure sadness and softly nods his head. "Okay, bye..." he signs sadly.
A few years a have passed, and our sibling "relationship" has gotten
"Hey, sis! It's me! It's snowing again! Do you wanna build a snowman with me? Or ride our lawnmowers around the alley! I just really think some company is overdue, I'm getting super bored and lonely on my own. I'm so lonely that I started talking to the statues and to Tybalt, it's not very pleasant. It gets a little lonely, all these empty pavements,
Just watching the hours tick by...
(Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock)"
By the time I turn 15 & he turned 18, our mother "died" and it crushed us both. Our Dad wasn't in the position to give him support, nobody did. So he gave it another sad try and get support from me. Willy called to me as if he was knocking on a door and I couldn't answer. I was wearing black clothes because at that time I also thought my mother was gone and truly hurt she was. I heard him approach
"Juliet?"
"Please, I know you're back there. People are asking where you've been. They say "have courage", and that "it will get better" and I'm trying to. I know you most be hurting too, I'm right out here for you, just let me in. Besides our Dad, we only have each other. It's just you and me. What are we gonna do?"
"Do you wanna build a Snowman?"
Even if it was a simple needy plead, it hurts me inside that I couldn't fulfil it, I couldn't say yes to him. All he wanted was some company and I give it to him. I look around me, still being hold a prisoner by the demon pirate, Mercutio. I have a poor chance, I'll be getting out of this alive since he's after more than just my tail, he wants my star and it some way that star was my protector as I am to it. It not only protected me, it protected my family and every living creature in the sea. And losing it will be chaotic! And if I have to die to protect it, so be it. Yet, that plead was what kept us together and apart all these years.
My tears and thoughts were interrupted by some footsteps coming down deck. I don't even dare to look up, I knew it was Mercutio, or Captain Mercutio as he's now called by his crew. I wasn't scared of him or his pirates men, I've learned how o deal with pirates before, long story! I learned that their not pirates like in the fairytales I read to Mimi, God I miss her.
There are all kinds of pirates, some are evil, wicked, tricky, and murderous, thieving, and other like to cheat but still can have a heart. Pirates are much worse than anybody could think. But Mercutio was not one of those; he's the worst of them all. He's a hunter and killer of mermaids.
"Better get comfortable, dearie. Eat up cause I got work to do later, those beautiful scales won't scarp themselves of you or will they?" he says to me, passing me a tray with slob he calls "food".
I stayed with my legs up and still wouldn't look at him "What have you become, Mercutio. How did you even turn into the captain of your own pirate crew?"
"That, my dear, is classified information. Let's just say I know a lot about mermaids. I've had a history with them"
"Were you married to one? Poor of her" I scoff.
"Not exactly but I did have a certain complicated relationship with her majesty, Queen Cordelia" he playfully bows down and I let out a soft gasp.
Queen Cordelia?! How the hell does he know about her?! Pirates are not even suppose to know we have a powerful Queen who control the waves and climate, she can create storm to sink ships when they are a threat to us, especially pirate ships. Queen Cordelia and I have a history but nobody, only my mother, knew about my connection with royalty.
"I don't know what you're talking about" I had to act like I didn't know her, even though, I knew her more than anybody in her kingdom.
"Don't play dumb with me, lass. I know you and her share a sweet bond that connects everything in the sea. You are like the child she could never have in all her years"
"That's a nice theory but sadly for you, I've never met the Queen. Nobody has seen her in years!"
"That's what you want me to believe. True, she did disappeared for a while to protect her kingdom back then but now she's return because she senses a threat like me coming to steal what she can't live without. The one object that kepps her magic, her power and her life. Her seashell amulet"
The Seashell Amulet is a very powerful object; it's been givien down centuries to mermaid royalty. Queen Cordelia can control her power with it, and if it's taken away from her, she dies and the sea life dies with her! Mercutio can never have that! And for that to never happen, he can never know the queen's new kingdom location.
"The what omelette? I do like a good omelette with ham and cheese in the morning with a side of bacon and orange juice" I joke, pretending to not listen or care or know to what he is talking about.
But my joke made him angry "STOP PLAYING STUPID WITH ME, LITTLE MERMAID! I know you know where is the Queen hiding, so either tell me or I'll scar that pretty little face of yours" he threat as he lightly pressed his dagger against my face.
"You're sick in the head if you think I know any of this garbage!" I spit in his face.
"And how to you explain the Star, huh?! How did you became it's protector in the first place!? No ordinary mermaid doesn't get the honor. That honor is the Queen's decision, she picks the mermaid or merman of her choice, she must have seen something extremely special in you to give it to you"
"How I got the star and became it's protector is none of your corner! And you're wasting your time because I know nothing of what you're talking about!"
"Is that so? Well then, you wouldn't mind if I make a cash retrieve"
I was confused by what he said but then I understand what he meant when he pulled out his dagger. He grabbed a cup of water and splashed it over me, my tail appears. Mercutio sticks his dagger on my tail and scraps off at least 3 scales. He didn't have mercy on me, and why would he!? I cried in pain as blood came out and left an empty space where he scraped off. That's not going to look good when I get my legs back and how knows when my scales will grow back.
What does he think I am? His personal bank!? No matter how much $$$ he takes from me, I won't say anything. I need to stay strong for me, for my family, the Queen and her kingdom. I am more than loyal to her and I wouldn't dream of betraying her. But I can tell that Mercutio wasn't going to give up until I say something, which I won't.
"So, if you don't want to me fresh sushi any time soon, I suggest you stop being so stubborn and tell me what I need to know" he grabs my neck and started chocking me.
"Go to hell!" I growl. Since I was in mermaid form and I have gills, breathing is a trouble for me right now but I have to hold on for my sake.
I saw fire in his fire but it didn't scare me. "Then I'll just have to skin you alive"
"Go ahead, kill me. But I'm not much of use to you if I'm dead. Dead, alive, you can skin all the scales you want from my tails but either way I'm not telling you anything"
"We shall see, dearie. Right now, I need to get my ship set up for the arrival of a special guest" he says, walking away and putting on his Captain Hook-like hat on.
"What are you going to do?" I asked serious and slightly worried.
He stops at the doorway and looks back at me "Let's just say that when your Blue takes one step on my ship, he's dead" he chuckles evilly and leaves.
"NOOOOOOOO! DON'T HURT HIM! MERCUTIO, PLEASE!" I struggle to break free but it was useless to go anywhere with this tail.
I crawled to the door but was locked. I sobbed uncontrollably and pleaded on the door. I didn't want the love of my life to pay for something that didn't involve him; this was about me and my past. Mercutio wanted me & what I know of what he's searching for. I shouldn't have let Gnomeo dragged into this and now he's going to die because of me.
(Back at the Blue Garden)
Things were getting tense by the second in both gardens. It's been hours since the authorities got involved in this case. They said to stay here and wait for news, but that didn't stop Gnomeo. He took this as a personal matter and was determine to get his wife back, no matter what, even if he has to die for her. His parents and the others were trying o reason with him to not do anything that can him and Juliet in anymore danger, but he didn't listen. If those crooks wanted $$$, he'll give them $$$.
"I can't believe this is happening again" Lord R grunts angrily for his daughter.
"They said we're going have to wait until they make another call" Lady Blueberry says.
"For what? To make an exchange of money that we don't have for the life of my daughter?" Marina cried.
"I promise you that I will get her back, Ms. Redbrick. I have my suspicions on who might kidnap her" Gnomeo growls.
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier, Gnomeo?" Lady B asks.
"Oh yeah, what could have you done, mum? I failed on protecting the love of my life and mother of my daughter. And I'm going to go rescue her" Gnomeo starts to leave but the other followed to stop him.
"You?" Lord R was surprised.
"You're going to kill, my boy! And I won't allow that!"
"What Else can I do, Dad! I can't just wait here while they're torturing her or ready to kill her! I would never forgive myself if they hurt the mother of my child!" Gnomeo huffs, angry.
"But Gnomeo, you're hurt!" Lady B exclaim.
"I don't care, mum! The only thing I want is Juliet by my side again! I know that in the past, you guys went against our love but we didn't care and you know it. You 2 can't even imagine how much I love that girl. The only thing I want is to go where she is and rescue her because I'm capable of doing things I never imagine doing, like risking my life and freedom for example. So understand that! I love her with my heart and soul. Where ever she might be, I'll be there. If it's a horrible and dark place where she might be, I'll be there... by her side.
"Wait, cous. You can't just go over there by yourself!"
"Than you, Benny" Lady B thanks
"... unharmed. You're need a weapon or something to catch them by surprise!"
"Wait, what did you say Benny?" Lady B gaps in shock
"And I know just the person who can help you" Benny grins "Follow me" and Gnomeo followed him.
The small gnome guided his cousin out the garden, out of the alley and walked a short walk until they made it to Benny's garden where he lived with his 4 children but since they were all back playing and under the protection of their family member, the garden was quiet and empty, well, almost empty.
Benny takes out his phone and waits for an answer.
"Hello?" it was Jazmin's voice
"Hey, love, it's me. Are you home?"
"Yeah, I'm just in the weaponry, polishing and working on my laser cannons"
"Hmm, that's something you hear everything day from your wife's To-Do list" Benny said sarcastically and Jazmin rolls her eyes. "Anyways, I have Gnomeo here with me and we need your help"
"Ok, I'll be up in a second"
She hangs up. Jazmin takes off her gloves and goggles as she sets down the heavy and shiny laser gun back on its place on the wall. She admires and was proud of every weapon she had in her vault. The spy steps inside her tube which sucked her up the living room of her home. She steps out and the tube goes back down. Jazmin finds the boys outside and walks over to them.
"Hello boys" she greets
"There she is! My girl, the spy next door!" Benny picks her up and twirls her with a kiss
"Shh, Benny, Spy life is supposed to be a secret!" she pinches his arm.
"Sorry, babe" he grunts.
"Hey Jazmin, I need your help" Gnomeo steps in.
"I'm guessing about what happened with Jules, huh?" She asks and he nods
"Wait, you knew?"
"Yeah, I know. I've been doing my own little research but somehow I can't get her location without a clue or something I can use"
"What do you need? I want to help get my wife back"
"I've been having a few difficulties tracking her down but the chip is malfunctioning, probably there isn't any signal where they have her or the probably found it and got rid of it"
"Hold on, you chipped Juliet?" Gnomeo asks, slightly shock and angry
"Oh, I chipped her because I love her. Plus, the chip in her, it's inside the necklace I gave her and she listen to me by never taking it off. But I lost her signal after an hour when they dragged her away"
"So, what do you need me to do?"
"I need something that belongs to her. Anything at all, something small"
"Wait, I think I have what you need" Gnomeo reaches into his back pocket and pulls out what looked like a hairbrush. "Here's Juliet's hairbrush with some of her hair.
Benny and Jazmin look at him with weird awkward looks "What?"
"Why do you have Juliet's hairbrush in your pocket? Do you carry that everywhere you do"
"Just on some occasions, maybe. I like to smell her scent after she brushes her hair. Why? Is that weird?"
"You are all kinds of a weird creepy stalker, mate" Benny comments.
"Like you wouldn't take anything of your wife's"
"No wonder I've been missing a few stuff from my drawers" Jazmin jokes, even though, it was true and it made Benny blush red.
"Well, give me the brush and I'll have Juliet's location in a few seconds"
"Wait, I want to go with you"
Jazmin thought for a second and nods "Fine, but I need you 2 to put on these blindfolds" she gives them 2 blindfolds.
The guys were confused but it was better to not questions her. They put on the blind folds and she takes them by their hands and guided them to another part of the garden where was very secretive and a little dark. Jazmin stops by the sight of a tree and a large rock next to it. The rock was secretly had a key pad inside. Jazmin punched in a code with 5 digits and suddenly, another glass tube appeared from inside the tree. Jazmin guided the guys inside the tree as they went down some sets until they stopped, feeling a white light on them.
"Are we dead? Is this heaven?" Gnomeo panicked as they took off their blindfolds, aweing at the large armoury.
"Nope, but I do see an angel" Benny smirks at Jazmin from across the room. Gnomeo smacks him silly by his comment.
"Welcome to my lair, boys" she gloats as she quickly got to work. "Now that I have a sample of Juliet, I'll have her location in just about..." BING! "...now".
Her super computer displayed a map, near the ocean and a red light was blinking on the edge. Jazmin gave it a zoom and appeared a pirate ship?
"Pirates? Pirates took Juliet?" Benny asks, confused.
"Strange? I've expected something common, not fairy-tale-ish" Jazmin shrugs.
"Who cares?! I don't care if that's the Jolly Roger with Captain Hook or Captain Jack Sparrow! They have my wife and I will murder each one of them if they put a hand on her, I'll rib off their throats"
"Hold on there, cous! You can't just go over there and expect them to give her back to you, they're pirates! Haven't you seen the movies?!"
"He's right, Gnomeo. Maybe it's best to not let the police know about this either. It's best I cal the Cheif and send backup over here, this is more serious than I thought"
"So, I just sit here and wait for them to come?"
"Not exactly, I think you can take the lead until we get there. We spies always have an early strategy that can lead to a sneak attack, follow me" Jazmin walks over to an empty wall until she pushes a button and A LOT of different kinds of bombs came out.
"WHOA! I love your toys, Jaz!"
"Thanks but they're not for playing, these are special bombs. They look like bombs but they're not but can easily switch to real bombs when they sense it's necessary" Jazmin takes out from the wall a casual-looking jacket.
"Then what's the point of using bombs if they're not going to blow up?"
"Because you are going to be the bomb"
"Secret agent say what?" Gnomeo got nervous.
"Yep. This jacket has 12 small bombs inside it, all you have to do is say a code that will activate the bombs and will blow up in 5 minutes. Plus, I will put a tracking chip to make sure your location is" Jazmin hands him the jacket and Gnomeo nervously put it on, fits like a glove.
"Ok, and once I'm in, then what?" he asks.
"All you have to do is go in, threat them with the bombs, come out with Jules and we go in"
"But these won't really explode, right?"
"Not unless you trigged the code"
"What's the code?"
"No, too risky to tell you, it's better you not know it" she says in a none-trustworthy tone.
"Ok, thanks for everything, Jaz"
"Just remember, get in, threat, get out, that's it. Even a rookie can follow those steps"
"Gee, thanks" he says sarcastically but didn't argue. "Hold on, there's 1 mor ething. This ingrates asked for #5 million dollars. Where am I going to get that kind of money in an hour?"
"No prob" Jazmin presses another button on her deskop and a large bag filled with cash appeared from the floor, surprising the boys.
"Please, tell me you didn't rob a bank" Benny says, worried.
"Sorry, not allowed to say" she jokes but they take it serious. "Oh, relax, it's not real money. It looks relax but it's not. Just give them this, get out and we'll come in, got it?" Jazmin makes them wear blindfolds again to get out of her armory and back up to the garden and she then hands him the bag.
"Loud and clear, ma'am. Thanks for everything" Gnome takes the bag
"Great, I'll star6t preparing the troops and meet you there in 15 minutes"
"Hold on, Gnomeo, this is crazy! The money isn't enough and you want to pay for the rescue on fake money?" Benny cried as he carries a big bag, filled of Monopoly money.
"Yes, Benny. Is the only option I have left! I can't waste any more time!" Gnomeo turns to leave but gets stop by some voices.
"There you guys are! We've been looking for you guys!" Tybalt cried a she and the others came in the garden. Really bad timing, Gnomeo grunts.
"Gnomeo, where are you going with that?" Lord Blueberry asks, noticing the large bag.
"I'm going after my wife" the blue says serious and explains the plan of the rescue with Jazmin and Benny's help.
But the others thought it was a bad idea "Are you crazy? What if they find out? They're going to kill her without thinking it twice"
"They're going have to kill me first before they get to her" Gnomeo says.
"It will be much safer of you gave that to the GSI, boy" Lord Redbrick steps in, thinking the same thing if it meant putting his daughter in danger.
"No, I'm going. They want me. And I am not letting those cops ruin my plan. I assure you that I am bring Juliet back alive"
"Gnomeo, for heave sakes, leave the money and let the police rescue Juliet" Lady Blueberry exclaims, trying to talk him out of it.
"I'm not trusting Juliet's life in anybody's hands. I will rescue her!"
And with that final statement, Gnomeo grabbed what he needed and set out to find his Red. Thanks to the map Jazmin gave him, it wasn't difficult for him to find the place and location. He just hoped this doesn't end in disaster because if anything happens to his Juliet, he wouldn't know how to move on without her, especially if her death was his fault.
(Back at the pirate ship)
It was almost time to set sail. Mercutio looked over and over his maps and compass, he's been looking them for hours and even days, trying to find a certain mermaid kingdom that was well hidden. Not because it was underwater, but it was
"Captain, the sails are ready and the crew is set up. We're ready to set sail" a short man with a white beard with an eye patch says.
"Not yet, Rocky. I'm this close to finding our destination but what we need is a guide"
"You mean the mermaid girl, captain"
"Exactly, men. She is our ticket to the mermaid kingdom. But she's as stubborn as coral & sadly, I find that irresistible of her"
"What do you want us to do, Captain?"
"Nothing just yet. But I will tell you can do for later when I order it, I want you and the men to go to storage cell and get one of the spare anchor and bring it on the deck with the little mermaid doll" he smirks.
"Are you planning on throwing her off board"
"No, Rocky. I have something else on mind for her. on the mean time, it's almost time to get the money delivery for her. We can't risk any mistakes. This Blue is a tricky one, I know him better than anyone"
"Calm down, captain, he'll come"
"Remember. Take the money but don't kill the Blue. I'll deal with him personally"
"And the girl?"
They look down at Juliet who was tied up with her knees up when she turned back into a human and her mouth muffled. Then Mercutio walks closer to her and points his pistol down at her.
"What's best is that we kill her. If we kill her now, Gnomeo will still think she's alive once you leave for the money and come out and finally make him pay. And we'll escape with money"
Then Juliet started screaming lightly though the tape, trying to get Mercutio's attention. It was if she wanted to scream something at him but at the same time inform him. She understood the entire plan and in her opinion, it was idiot and their moron captain, typical.
"What do you want?" he says. He gets down on his knees and pulls the tape off her mouth, seeing anger in her eyes.
"Listen, I know what you want and I understand your plan. And let me just say, it's the stupidest and plan ever! So, I going to help you guys because I feel sorry for you that you can't came up with a better plan! You guys are idiots and your plans are pathetic, I've organize better plan of attack better than you! and let me tell you, Gnomeo is not going to give a penny if you kill me. He's not gonna be convinced with a single recording of my voice. Your plan will fail if you kill me now"
"Ok, smart fish, let's say I did listen to you but that doesn't mean I won't. During my time of disappearance, I've had time to spare and plan this entire thing out. Getting your idiot Blue was just a strategy to begin my plan but the rest you already know it because you're going to lead me to the greatest treasure a pirate dreams on getting his hands on, either you like it or not"
"You won't find it. No human can survive crossing the border where this kingdom is" she acted out.
"True, only merfolk can get in. That's why I need you, so you can get me in"
"YOU'RE INSANE! I WOULD NEVER BETRAY MY FAMILY!"
"You won't betray them! You're just going to give me a tour of the Queen's majestic kingdom that's filled with treasure and power beyond anything in the universe"
"You're also insane that I'm going to lead you there! I don't even know where it is!" she lied.
"You will. I have just thing that will make you obey"
Mercutio looks into his desk drawer and pulls out a scary black box and pulls out what's inside it. A small vial with a black & purple liquid inside. The front of the vial had a skeleton and cross bones on it. Juliet gasps in horror, knowing what that is. It was a mermaid poison, but this poison didn't just kill mermaids, it does much worst that Juliet doesn't want to imagine what Mercutio will do with it. This poison was really rare since the owner died years ago. If a human drinks this poison, it doesn't do much just make them sick for a few days. But for mermaids, it makes the weak at first but them it turns them, into uncontrollable monsters, only to obey it's master.
Juliet schutched herself to a far corner to get away "Is that...?" she gasps, panicking.
"It is, dearie. What merfolk fear more than anything: Ursula's Ink" he awes at the glow of the vial.
"Where did you get that? Ursula's been dead for more than a century" she points out the truth. (A/N: Don't get confused with Little Mermaid. I'll explain later)
"Let's just say, that I've been saving it for a special occasion, for a special someone" Mercutio takes out a injection and dips it into the vial. The poison goes up the injection, making Juliet even more nervous.
"What are you doing? Get that away from me!" she screamed.
He grabs her arm "Now be a good little guppy and hold still. I will say this won't hurt, but I'd be lying" he smirks.
But gets interrupted just before he sticks the needle in "Captain, he's here!" a pirate burst in.
Mercutio sighs in disappointment by getting interrupted but then stands back up "This will just have to wait, I guess" he puts the vial and injection back inside the box and puts it away back the drawer.
He looks back at Juliet and pulls her up by force "Now the real fun beginning!" he chuckles evilly. With an order gesture, 2 pirates dragged Juliet up to the deck as Mercutio prepared his pistol with extra bullets.
Up on the deck, Gnomeo kept his anger steady for now as he was surrounded by ugly and filthy pirates with scars, bruises and certain missing body parts. This was no place for girl like his wife.
"Here she is" he sees 2 pirates dragging Juliet up and setting her down on the floor.
Gnomeo wastes no time in running to her "Juliet! My love! Are you ok?" he kissed her, desperately and checking if she was hurt.
Luckily, she didn´t "No, I'm fine. But you need to go, this is a trap set for you!" she pleads
"No, I'm not leaving you! Who did this to you?" he asks.
But another voice answers his question "WELL, LONG TIME NO SEE, GNOMEO, OLD PAL!" Mercutio came out from his dark room. Gnomeo's eyes widen by this pirate Captain but that's what didn't surprise him, under that Captain jacket and hat, he recognized his old friend from anywhere!
"Mercutio?" Gnomeo was shocked!
Mercutio grins "TA-DA! Yeah, it's me!"
"You're alive? After all these years?"
"Aye, mate, I know, it's been too long"
"Why are you doing this? Why did you take my wife?"
"I have my own reasonable reasons, mate. But if you must know, I took your little gem because she has and knows something I need. But you've probably seen that she's a stubborn as a rock but I don't care, I have another ways to making her talk"
"You don't have to do this, Mercky. I understand your hate and anger but this can all be fixed if you just..."
"Oh shut up, will you? I always hated when you babbled and never shut up. But now, I have a chance to change that" Mercutio takes out his pistol and points at Gnomeo.
"NO! Stop, Mercutio! This doesn't concern him, you want is me, you want to know what I know!" Juliet steps in, before Mercutio could shoot Gnomeo.
"Relax, angelfish, I'm not going to kill you, I'm going to kill him, it's something I've been wanting to do for a long time"
"What happened that day was not my fault, Mercky!"
"STOP CALLING ME THAT! And it was, it was your fault that day! But that doesn't matter now cause I got your greatest treasure and she will lead me to the greatest treasure a pirate like me can dream of" he smirks.
"What is he talking about, Jules?"
"A treasure, a treasure that's sacred to mermaids and can't be disturbed. You can't have it, Mercutio. It is cursed as it is blessed. You can never control that kind of power!" she yells in his face.
"That's a matter of opinions, sweetie" the captain grins at her again. "Didn't she tell you, Gnomey? Your little wife here is a mythical sea creature that's half human and half fish. A mermaid"
"I already knew that" Gnomeo glares
"But she didn't tell you that she's a powerful one. a keeper of magical antiques and has a special bond with the Big Fish herself, The Queen"
"You're a princess or something?" Gnomeo asks/whispers to her
Juliet shakes her head "No. I've only heard of the queen"
"LIES! I know you know her like that back of your hand and you know where she is!" Mercutio yelled, gripping more on his pistol.
"Even if I did, why would I tell you about her?! So, you can kill her and the ocean life and all the merfolk? Including me" Juliet frowns, knowing that's true.
"That's it, I've had it up to her with both of you. This is the end. Both of you are going to die if you don't give me what I want" he turns back at Gnomeo "And you, for betraying me and you for choosing him instead of me & the other reasons, sweetie" he glares at her.
"Calm down, Mercutio. Let's talk about this first" Gnomeo reasons
Mercutio glares "I have nothing to say to you, imbecile"
"Ok, don't talk but just let me show you something" he says.
Gnomeo unbuttons the golden clip of his waistcoat and pulls away the left side where inside his pocket was a small black box with a small red and green lights. Mercutio and his men were confused, even Juliet until he finally said what it was. It was the bomb jacket Jazmin gave him earlier!
"If I die, we're all dying" he threats. The box was a small but powerful bomb! And just my pushing the red button it could go on in an instant! It made Mercutio nervous but not afraid.
"You wouldn't dare, Gnomeo. You never had guts to pull anything like this" he glares.
"You're right but there's a first time for everything, Mercky. And kidnapping my wife is one of the reasons of why I should kill you right now"
"YOU IDIOTS! Why didn't you check him?!" Mercutio yells in anger at his crew.
"Hey, you're the brains in this crew, you're the captain. Why didn't you think of that?" one of them yelled back but then Mercutio shoots him to shut up! This scared the couple and the rest of the crew.
Mercutio glares back at Gnomeo "I have to admit, Gnomey. You became sneakier than I remembered. You could make a very good pirate"
"I'm not interested. And the main reason is that I learned this from a professional" he winks at Juliet and she sends him a small smile.
"ENOUGHT AND EVERYBODY OUT! This is between me and this idiot!" Mercutio orders and the crew obeys by leaving the ship or going into the room or cellars, leaving the trio alone.
"I always thought of you like a brother, Mercky but you must understand that what happened between us in the past was for your own good, your actions were getting WAY of hand"
"I did what I had to for people to notice me. You always were the 1# gnome, just because you were the revenger and a show off, that's why everybody liked and admire you" Mercutio states the facts, clicking his pistol.
"Careful, Gnomeo. He's a dangerous pirate. Pirates are mermaid's biggest enemies. He wants the scales of my tail!" Juliet says, terrified.
"He isn't getting you or your tail, love" Gnomeo whispers to her.
"Tough, mate. Cause I am getting her and her tail. I want more than money because she's worth millions than what's in this bag" Mercutio points to the bag filled with "money".
"Take the money and leave but she stays with me" Gnomeo throws him the bag
"No, no, no, Gnomeo. I'm taking the whole package" the pirate smirks over at Juliet but she hides behind Gnomeo.
"Gnomeo, just go. I'll be fine" she says, thinking for his protection.
"Not a chance, Jules. I'm not leaving you with this maniac" Gnomeo says.
"I see that you love him that much to make the stupid decision to die for him, huh sweetie? This is one of the other reasons why I hate you so much, Gnomey. Your girl should have been mine but then you came along and ruined my plans with her" Mercutio grunts in anger.
"What plans? You didn't even knew she exited before I did!" the blue yelled back
"Oh, that's where you're wrong; I have always loved her since I first saw her through that hole on the fence that helped me look at her in her grotto, anytime I wanted. Unlike you, I kept my secret much more longer than you did which only lasted... I don't know... 2 days?"
"Yeah, but what I did for her was out of love. You, on the other hand is for obsession"
"It is love!"
"IT'S AN OBSESSION! Like the one you had against me and Benny all these years. Especially toward me!"
"AND WHY IS THAT!? You were the Star Gnome in the garden, the garden hero, the proud son of the leader! You have everything! The glory, the attention, the pride, the respect I never had! But the only thing I wanted was her and even that you took away from me! But I'm here to take back what's mine!"
Soon, they stated hearing police sirens, they were growing louder the closer they got. It just wasn't the police; it was Jazmin's spy troops. The ship was surrounded by police cars and black vans with secret agents coming up. And coming from out one of them was Jazmin and her sister Nina in their spy suits and even Benny came with them.
Jazmin pulls out a bullhorn and spoke into it "THIS IS THE FBI, WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED, SO COME UP WIHT YOUR HANDS UP!"
Then Benny takes the bullhorn from her "AND IF YOU HAVE HOOKS FOR HANDS, BETTER RAISE THOSE UP TOO! SO GET YOUR BOOTIES & PEG LEGS OUT HERE! & ARRG, MATES & YO-HOOHOO AND ALL THAT STUFF!" Benny shouted, trying to be funny.
Jazmin takes the horn from him and hit him with it "You're an idiot!" she playfully insults.
"I know but I'm your idiot!" he flirts but she backs him away by not being the right moment.
"All troops prepare yourselves for attack, if they don't come out in 5 minutes, we go in but I want them all alive & and shoot unless it's necessary!" Jazmin orders like a total lieder & they all obey by getting ready.
"It's best if you turn yourself in, Mercutio. It's over, you have no way out!" Gnomeo says.
"Ok, tell you what. Let me escape and I'll let you both go, deal?" Mercutio negotiates.
"Ok, you go and she stays and leaves with me" Gnomeo says
"And just to let you know that this isn't over yet" he grins and leaves for throw his dark room.
As soon as Mercutio was out of their sight, Gnomeo untied Juliet and she jumps in happiness into his arms, kissing him rapidly. She was relieved they both made it out of this alive!
"I can't believe you came back for me!" she squeals.
"Why wouldn't I? I wasn't gonna let you get killed like that. And when we get home, I'll need you to fill me in on what's going on here but for now let's just get out of here"
"I love you (kiss) You know that, right? I love you with my life (kiss)"
"I love you, Red"
"I love you, Blue"
And they start kissing very fast.
"HOLD IT! She's not going anywhere! She's staying with me! She's going to lead me to the treasure and then stay with me as my trophy wife"
Voice code activated. 60 seconds in counting
They all look down and saw the bombs in Gnomeo's jacket were activated and started counting down, ready to explode in a minute. In panic, Gnomeo threw the jacket to the ground, starting to panic for him and Juliet!
"WHAT DID YOU DO!? It doesn't matter, I escape with my prize and you blow to bits right here!" Mercutio
"Let go of me! YOU'RE INSANE!" Juliet screams, breaking out of his grip and kicking him where men do not want to be kicked.
Juliet runs to him and he embraces her. "We need to get out of here!" Gnomeo take sher hand and leads her to an exit.
But Mercutio gets his strength back and stands up and Gnomeo in his arm, making him screams in pain! He falls on his knees, pulling on to his wounded arm which now was even more wounded from earlier.
"GNOMEO!" Juliet screams, in terror, kneeling down to his side.
Mercutio chuckles, pointing his gun down at her "You really thought I would leave just like that. How pathetic love story you have. But I don't give up that easily. And it's best for her that you don't follow us, Blueberry, or she dies" he threats, about to pull the trigger.
Suddenly...
KABOOM!
And everything went silent...
DANG! THAT WAS AWESOME! AND HERE I THOUGHT I WAS NEVER GOING TO FIGURE OUT THSI CHAPTER BUT I THINK IT TURNED OUT JUST FINE OR EVEN BETER THAN I THOUGHT! I've been working on this for 4 days straight on breaks in between classes. (I have Ceramics class in 1 hours in fact) I told u I'll never forget you guys even if I am SUPER BUSY 7 It's only been 3 weeks But I can handle it, I'm toughest and smarter to support all of this. I do this for my "kids" for my girls & u guys! I SHALL NOT LET U DOWN! LUV U GUYS! XOXOOXX XD ;D
BTW, All the pirate stuff was all inspiration from Once Upon A Time's Captain Hook. I learned the way he acts and speaks, all pirate & soothing. U gotta hate to love him ;) (I think I'm obsessed with that show) WATCH THE SEASON 4 PREMIERE WHERE THINGS GET... "FROZEN" (wink, wink) THE SNOW QUEEN VS. THE EVIL QUEEN FOR THE POWER/CONTROL OF STROYBROOKE! WHAT'S BETTER THAN THAT?! (I hate talking like an announcer) :/
Speaking of Frozen, don't be surprised if u see Frozen stuff in this story, but a little of my own unique version if u guys don't mind. It will get better with this sibling relationship. Just to point out, in my opinion, "Do You Wanna Build A Snowman" is the saddest song Disney has ever made
Anyways, I still got a little time before class starts, I'll write a little more to pass the time. SEE YA GUYS LATER! I promise to make a light schedule and take time to post stuff for u guys!
-Ur college girl,
MICKEY! ;)
