11. Bring Me To Life Or Take Another Away

It was him.

The person she despised the most with all her soul. She knew he was behind all of this, the kidnapping of her daughter and the disappearance of her husband. Her stalker. This was a call from the devil. Her devil.

"How you doing, my precious mermaid?" Mercutio flirt but gave Juliet disgust.

"What do you want, Mercutio?" she growls angrily.

"Glad you asked, I want a Happy Meal with apple slices and a milk and a toy, but before you get there, ask which they have in case they give me the one I already have"

"No funny. If this is some game we're playing, it's not funny and you know it. I swear to you that I will...!"

"Relax, I'm not gonna go after you... for tonight But you already know what I want, Juliet. I want you"

"This is going too far, Mercutio. And get this in your head, I WILL NEVER BE YOURS! & NEITHER WILL THE STAR!"

"Oh, my precious Jules. How proud you are. You think you're threats and hard character is gonna keep me away from you. On the contrary, it only makes me want you more. And if wasn't for the power, I would only want you & only you. You belong to me"

"I don't belong to anybody, stupid! I'm my own owner of me, myself & I"

"And to the Blue? You don't belong to him either? So that means you left him?"

"Stop twisting my words. You don't even deserve that power or to live. And if you wanted me, why would you want to kidnap my daughter, you sicko?"

"No, Julie, you're worth gold, I just knew that if I kidnap your daughter, you would turn yourself in"

"Well, you should have thought of it better because I am fully trained. Didn't Gnomeo tell you that?"

"Yeah, he told me something about that I just didn't believe him but now I do"

"If you want me, I'm right here but don't mess with my family and especially not with my daughter"

"As much I would like for your child to be mine. Cause that's one of the things I dreamt of doing with you, to start a family with you. But no, you chose my biggest enemy"

"Gnomeo is the love of my life. The only man who brought me out of the shadows and gave me everything I ever wanted"

"I could give you anything you want too. Fame? Fortune? Power, both kinds, actually. The feeling kind and the literal as in all the power of the Star and the universe if it's necessary"

Juliet scoffs in joke tone "No money and no power is going to make me go to you and leave my family. I have to be insane for reals to do that! Get this in your head, Mercutio! There is nothing in this world is going to make me love you, EVER! NOT YOUR THREATHS, NOT YOUR MONEY, NOTHING!"

"Is that so, doll face? How about your husband? Worried about him?"

"What do you mean? Where is he, Mercutio? WHERE IS HE!?"

"Funny thing, he came to see me and try to make peace with me but guess what, it didn't work out"

"No, you're lying to me. Gnomeo would never go out to look for trouble and less with you"

"Oh do you, sweetie? Cause you and I both know Gnomeo is all about getting revenge. He doesn't listen to anybody, not even to you. He follows his thirst for revenge no matter what

"What did you do to him? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?!"

"Let's just say, I hope the last kiss you gave him was eternal because it will be your last goodbye kiss"

"No. No, it's can't be" she started sobbing in panic

"Oh, sweetie, it can"

"NO... NO! YOU'RE LYING TO ME!"

"Oh I wish I was, sweetheart but it's your problem if you don't believe me. In fact, I'm gonna send you a piece of evidence right now"

"You're sick, Mercutio"

"Yes, I sick. I'm sick for you. I'm crazy for you! You have no idea how much it hurt and boiled me inside to see you with that low life of Blueberry every single day for the last 7 years! How I dreamnt of having you in my arms. How I was forbidden to be away from you because you were everybody's beloved princess. So yeah, I'm crazy, crazy for you, to finally have you in my arms, to have your body close to mine, to see your face every morning, to find you in my bed every dawn for the rest of our lives!"

Juliet was paralyzed by his words "Oh... my... God. You're completely insane"

"Only a little but don't worry, we will be together real soon. I just got rid of the biggest obstacle that was keeping us apart"

"What are you talking about?!"

KNOCK-KNOCK!

"Speak of the devil. Your answer is right outside. Go on, open it"

She was afraid to answer since it was his little "surprise" but she was determine to see what he was babbling about.

Juliet takes the phone off her ear for a second and goes to answer the door, hoping it was her husband and that Mercutio was only scaring her. She opens the door excited but nobody was out there. She then looks down and finds a small package, she opens it and finds something horrible. She found smashed Blue pieces in shape of a hat, but Juliet's heart crushed into tinier pieces. She got down on her knees and started tearing up with tears.

"No, no..." she sobs in disbelief.

"You see, princess. I would never lie to you. Trick, hurt, Kill, yes but never lie, that would be cold. Now, here's the question, would you rather live and be with me or die and join your beloved Blue in hell? What will it be?" he asks in evil mockery.

But Juliet doesn't answer; in fact, she just hangs up on him. And she start bursting into tears, really believing her husband, the love of her life was killed.

On the other side of the city, waves crashed against the shore, Old Man Barracuda was coming from a hard day of fishing. He brought some dinner and hot beverage for his guest. Let's say his guest was the catch of the day, an early in the morning catch.

"It's a good thing I found you before Claudio's men did or you would have been fish chunk" said the kind voice of Old Man Barracuda as he hands a cup of hot tea to his guest.

"I appreciate that, Old Man Barracuda"

"No, nothing Old Man, my boy. Call me Barracuda. And it was my pleasure. Little Juliet is very special to me & I could never let anything happen to her or Ms. Marina or her family. I love her like the granddaughter I never had"

"Thank you. And I know this may be the right time but I was hoping you can help me with something"

"With what, my boy?"

"It's something I've been working on for a while, it's a gift for Juliet for her birthday. It's a song, actually"

"A song? How artistic. I'm sure my childl Juliet will love it"

"I don't know. I'm having trouble with the melody and lyrics. And I was hoping you can..."

"Say no more, boy. I got my harmonica here. You just tell me the lyrics and I'll follow along" the old man agrees as he plays his harmonica for warming up. "Alright, I'm ready"

"Ok, I have it back home but I remember some of it while I was writing it, Ok, here goes... "What is up, little gnome? What is up? I've heard the news in the gardens both Red and Blue"

Barracuda plays the line on his harmonica, letting out a lovely melody that matched the lyrics perfectly "Ok, got it. What else?"

"When I soon find out that she wasn't, wasn't in her spot or in site. I knew something was wrong"

As Barracuda played, the rest of the song then started playing in his head like a radio, remembering who much he loves his wife, his mermaid, his Juliet. So beautiful as always, like if it was the first time he saw her that night.

"That pretty red gnomy girl.

The one with the paralizing big green eyes.

She left me with big questions.

And a lot of complications.

I am not myself no more.

Don't even wanna race without her.

Can't get her out of my mind

Cause I am missing her gorgeous face"

He even heard himself talk like if it was an alternate dream of themselves as kids or teenagers...

"It's her! It's the mermaid!" younger Gnomeo exclaimed.

But younger Juliet walked pass by him "Bye Gnomeo!"

"She even knows my name! It IS her!"

He came back to reality and sighs in joy. He can't wait to get back to his love and give her his gift, the gift of music. He just hoped he doesn't take too long to recover and get back to her, he didn't want to worry her to death, literally.

"You know what, Barracuda. I'm going to do it like that. I really like that melody & the lyrics, it's perfect for her! And I'm gonna serenade it to her when she least expects it"

"A serenade? Wow, what a surprise. Hopefully it will be better than the last serenade Juliet got"

"Wait, last serenade? Who gave Juliet a serenade?"

"It was when she was a little tite, she was with me working on my boat that day while she mother was "fishing", let's say that. While she was weeping the deck and I was fixing my motor, we then heard music and not the best kind. It was some boy with hair of a shark came and started singing to her"

"And... did she like it?" Gnomeo was nervous

"To be honest, she didn't really enjoy it, she looked a bit uncomfortable so she just sent him away. But I don't doubt she will love yours, my boy. Now, get so rest, we're gonna wake after dawn to get back you back home"

"Alright and thank you for everything again, Barracuda. If it wasn't for you, I'd be sleeping with the fishes" (A/N: MOVIE PUN!)

"Good night, my boy"

"Good night, sir"

Old Man Barracuda goes inside his boat and turns off the light, going to sleep. Gnomeo stayed a few extra more minutes awake. After he regain his strength back, he gets up his seat and stairs out the ocean as he continues to stare at the nighty ocean and sky, just thinking about his girl. He was even hoping she would be in the water, looking for him for on her own. If it wasn't for Old Man Barracuda finding him on the shore of the beach, he surely would be dead. But this wans't going to stay like this, not just because Mercutio's pirate goons dragged and tossed him into the ocean to get rid of him. Surely, Mercutio thinks he's dead and he will waste no time to go after Juliet and his family. The Blue had to get back before his now enemy gets there first.

"I'm going back for you, Juliet" he vows his life.

(Back at the main garden)

The sky was gray, the atmosphere cold and it was lightly raining. The sky was upset but not as near as the girl of the red hat. Nobody knew about this yet because she didn't want to say before knowing but sure, but the pain of just thinking, almost believing was overpowering her. She could feel it the deepest part of her heart. All those years of love and happiness with her Blue, she's learn to understand that his and her heart were one and if one of them dies out, the other does too and right now, it was slowly dying. Her heart was shattered. She knew she shouldn't believe anything Mercutio says but this was so sick, he was capable of taking out anybody just to get to her.

What to make this moment is that right now, she got one of her crisis!

"UUUGHH! Why won't this memories go away!?" she holds on to her head as the memory

(Flashback)

Here we go again. She didn't do anything wrong and she was being punished for no good reason. Director Carlota tightens her grip around the child's arm, maybe leaving a red bruise on it. The cruel woman opens the door to the haunted attic and throws her in there.

"Maybe a few more days inside the tower will show you not to talk back, you little spoiled maggot!"

"No, Director Carlota! Don't lock me in here, I beg you!" Juliet cried

"SILENCE!" and the woman shut the door

Juliet sat in the cold corner of the small room, rubbing her arms for warmness but it didn't work.

"I want to meet. Why not come to me? Dear girl, please, come here..." the ghost sang in a creepy tone.

Juliet stood up and ran for the door, trying to open it but it was obviously locked. She looks around, to see where that scary ghost voice was coming from.

"Juliet..." it called her "Juliet... Do you wanna play with me..?"

Bravely, the girl stood up on her feet and walked toward the voice, like it was hypnotizing her but it wasn't. She was just curious again. But she stayed still, rethinking this.

"Ok, if you don't come up the tower. I'm going to come down to you to meet you" the ghost says.

"Somebody please help me!" She runs and bangs on the door but it was useless.

Suddenly, she hears another voice calling her. She knew that voice from anywhere but she was afraid it was all in her head.

"Juliet, Juliet, my girl. Down here!"

"Mum? Where are you? I don't see you!"

"Down here, guppy!"

Juliet looks down to the floor and sees an illusion of her mermaid mother in a small puddle. The illusions only worked on water and that was the little water in the tower, it works for now. She was just happy to see her mum. She gets down on her knees and lays down on the floor to get a better look at the illusion.

"Mum?"

"Don't be afraid, my girl. You have nothing to be afraid of"

"Help me get out of here, mum. Director Carlota is cruel & heartless and found my backpack and telescope and tossed them to the sea. Take me with you to the cave, I can live with the rest of my life as a guppy, eat fish & clams every day. But I can't be here one more day" Juliet sobs.

"You know I can't, Juliet"

"I don't like this place. I'm really scared"

"Juliet, I don't have much time. I only have little water in this puddle to talk until it dries up"

"Why?"

"Because you know very well I can't live for a long time out of the water"

"Then I'm going with you!"

"No, we can't do that, Juliet. You haven't mastered your powers yet and you don't have the star with you. Plus, your father would be heartbroken if he finds out you disappear. He needs you know more than ever. And remember what I told you, you're here on a mission"

"A mission? What kind of mission?"

"Ok, tell me this, if you could something for anybody in this moment, what would you do?"

"I don't know. I would like to help the kids in this place to get a better home"

"Well, if you believe it, you can do it. You can have all those kids free from the tortures of Carlota!"

"But how!? No, mum, wait, don't go!" she cries as the illusion was fading away "Don't go! I'm really scared!"

"Juliet, think clearly. I know you can do this. You are a smart brilliant guppy & human. I am proud of you and I know you will do the right thing. And remember this, behind your biggest fear is hiding your greatest strength. I love you, guppy"

"Mum?"

Marina faded away, leaving her daughter with tears. She was scared of this place, especially about the ghost. All the kids here have told her about the scary ghost that lives in the tower. And how it will take away her soul. She stayed on the corner again. She reaches into the pocket of her uniform and pulls out her beloved little toy dolphin, it was the only charm she could save from her backpack before the devil of Carlota tossed her stuff away. She loves her little dolphin, she even gave it a name.

"Don't worry, Teo. As long as we're together, nothing can happen to us" she kisses it but then lets out a powerful scream

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The scream was so powerful it was heard the entire castle, waking up the kids. They were worried and scared for her. The scream echoed down the walls and out the windows. Even Ms. Minerva heard it, she jumped out her bed in a fright, knowing the ghost has the poor child in her possession.

"Juliet"

The screams continued, louder and louder by the second. What could this demon creature could be doing to the innocent child? But Minerva wanted nothing that involved that ghost, so she just went back to bed and tried to ignore the screams and her conscious. Even the kids were scared as hell by the screams until they finally stopped. The girls were trembling together and sobbing quietly. Then 2 boys came in the girl's room to see how they were doing.

"Did you guys hear that?" a boy named Lucas asked,

"Yeah, The ghost has Juliet. I'm sure it's taking her soul right now" a smaller boy named Pepe sobs in one of the girl named Alice's arms.

"Yeah, we need to see how is she!" Marvin says, looking out the window to see the tower.

"And what if the ghost gets us?" A little girl named Mary panics

"Don't worry, Mary. The door is closed. It can't harm us" he says

"Don't be stupid, Marvin. Ghosts can go thru walls and come and get us" Alice snaps while comforting the little ones.

"So what? Nobody's going to help me. Nobody cares that Juliet's in trouble?" Marvin huffes in disappointment, seeing the others so scared.

"Poor Juliet" Pepe sobs.

"She's doomed" the kids weep with worry.

Back in the tower, Juliet was ok but still really scared of the ghost. She went to the corner of the room, hoping she could survive the night, knowing the ghost was coming for her.

"Juliet, come to me... Come closer"

"GO AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE!" she screamed, angrily.

"No, the time has come for us to meet"

"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"

The hatch of the roof was glowing bright "Come, Juliet... Come on..."

Then Juliet remembers her mother's word from earlier... "And remember this, behind your biggest fear is hiding your greatest strength"

And with those words, Juliet got her bravery back as the ghost called her again...

"That's it, Juliet. Come up here..."

Juliet stacked up the boxes and climbed up them like she did last time but this time with a little more bravery. She gets to the top and slowly open the hatch. But then stop, rethinking this.

"That's it... I'm not going to hurt you... Just come on, child... I have waited 2 decades for somebody like you to come. I know you want to meet me like I wanna meet you. That's it, come here"

"Ok, I can do this" she told herself and climbed to the dusty attic where there was

"Juliet, is that you? Juliet, answer me? Is that you?"

"Yes, and who are you?" the guppy asked, still a bit frighten.

"For many years, I have waited somebody as brave as you"

"Please, go away, leave me alone. Don't take away my soul" Juliet trembles

"No, Juliet. I would never take away your soul. Those are just rumours. I wouldn't dare to hurt you. I was once like you but they took away my childhood and I've been trapped here ever since"

Juliet takes a brave step toward the ghost girl. She had long black hair, she looked in her years or 6 or 7. She was kinda adorable and looked harmless but none can never know. She wore a white robe and looked very transparent. Juliet reached out her hand to touch her but her hand went thru her, which made her jump back. The ghost girl laughs a little like if it tickled her and understood why Juliet was like this, it was obvious she's never seen a ghost before.

"Are you really a ghost?" she asks

"No!"

"Because you do look like a ghost"

"I'm the childhood of somebody. A trapped sprit of somebody who lost me"

"Somebody's childhood? And why are you here and not inside that person?"

"I'm going to tell you. But first I wanna know if you're going to be my friend and I can trust you?"

"I don't know. Can I trust you?"

"I'm harmless; you have nothing to worry about. I may look like a ghost but I'm not. And you're going to help me get out of here"

Thunder and lightning crashed, making the ghost girl disappear for a second but then comes back when it dark again. Juliet wasn't afraid anymore but was still concern.

"If I help you, will you be happy again and escape this place?"

"Yes, Juliet. If you help me, I can go back to my owner's body again. I'll be happy and free"

"You promise me you're not a bad ghost?"

"I swear it, Juliet. I'm not what they say I am. They're all lies Carlota made up so the kids will be scared & cowardly"

"And how can I help you?"

"Let's open this trunk and see what we find"

The ghost girl points to an old dusty trunk behind them. It was covered by a old white sheet. The ghost girl uses her powers to open the locked trunk. There were many colourful trinkets, boxes, small blankets, clothes. But what caught Juliet's eyes on top of everything in the trunk was a poorly stitched doll with pink old fashioned clothes but most of all, a sad frown on her face. Normally dolls have bright smiles but not this doll, she had sadness in her face.

"It's a doll" the guppy says, looking down at the toy.

"Her name is Romina" Ghosty says

"I've never seen a sad doll" she frowns, looking down at the doll's frown

"She was once happy, like her owner"

"And who is it?"

"I'm going to tell you the story but you have to pay a lot of attention..."

The girls sat down on the trunk as the ghost girl told her the tell of the girl who lost her childhood..

(Flashback Ends)

Hours have passed; maybe an entire day and I still felt the same from earlier. Only I knew what happened, I didn't want to tell the others. I had to tell them, they had the right to know but how am I going to face them and tell them this. How am I going to tell

"Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence (ft. Paul McCoy)

"How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home"

"(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become"

"Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life"

"(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become!"

"Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life"

"Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead"

"All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life"

"(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become"

"Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life"

(Song Ends)

This song made my cry harder!

Oh, God! Why does it have to hurt so bad when I'm happy? Why do these things are happening to me?!

"Oh Gnomeo... My love, forgive me. It's my entire fault you're gone. I killed you..." I screamed in pain, feeling my heart turn black and cold as ice.

I killed him, it's my entire fault. Entirely my fault. I killed my own husband. I'll never live with this guilt & pain. I'm sure everybody will be heartbroken when they find out but the one heart that will never heal, will be mine. But soon that pain turned into anger, rage with a urge to kill the one responsible for her actions.

After letting out her dangerous anger and smashing almost everything in her greenhouse, she finally calms down and finds a solution. To others it was insane but to her it was perfect and she didn't care the consequences. When she's being blinded by hate and revenge, she listen to nobody and nothing can stop her to getting what she desires. She shakes off her tears and some of her pain. She suits up in all black, grabs her best 9" gun (A/N: Oh, that's a sweet one. can't wait to use it again for practice) with bullets and lastly puts on her dark shades over her eyes. She was dressed and ready to kill. To avenge her husband's death. There's going to be blood and it won't be her own.

WHOA, YEAH, BABY! EVIL JULIET IS BACK & HERE TO STAY! TO KILL, DESTROY & KILL SOME MORE! "THAT'S THE WAY, UH HUH, UH HUH, I LIKE IT, UH HUH UH HUH!" MAN, AM I LOVING THIS RIGHT NOW!" *evil smirk* (DON'T HATE THE PLAYER, HATE THE GAME SUCKER!) Sorry, I watch too many sports & WWE Superstar ;D
