My Sword

This is Romeo's sword. The last thing I touched on Earth.

A Tragic Ending

Do you remember my perfect plan from my last post? Well, that plan went terribly wrong. When I awoke from my nice sleep I didn't see Romeo, I saw the Friar. I was very confused. He told me we had to go. When I got up I saw Romeo laying dead beside me. Oh Romeo! What happened? As I looked more closely I saw a bottle of poison in his hand. Why had he killed himself? Didn't he get me letter? When I walked outside my luck turned from bad to worse. Laying on the ground was Pairs! I had a feeling Romeo had killed him. I mean I don't want to marry the guy, but I would never wish him dead! What was he doing outside me tomb so late anyway? What did he do to deserve this tragic death? My head was spinning. What was I going to do? Then it came to me. Without a second thought I grabbed Romeo's dagger and I stabbed myself. I needed to be with my Romeo and this was how I was going to do it. So how am I writing this? I am now a spirit. This is my last blog post. So good-bye my dear friends.

The plan

I have talked to Fr. Lawerance and he has given me a special potion. This potion will put me into a deep sleep for 48 hours. My family will think I'm dead! I will appear to have no pulse and I will have pale skin. They will never know the truth. Later that day I will have my so called funeral. I will be laid into the tomb. While that is going on, Fr. Lawerance has written Romeo a letter telling him what the plan is and when he should come and meet me. Romeo will hurry to my tomb and when I awake from my deep sleep he will be the first person I see. Then we will run away together, far away from Verona. We will live happily ever after. This is the perfect plan. It is fool proof. My parents will think I'm dead and I won't have to marry Pairs and I get Romeo. Things couldn't be better. I mean what could possibly go wrong??

This is my heart. Broken because I love Romeo and I don't want to marry Pairs, but I have to please my father.

Act II

Well I married Romeo. I haven't told my parents yet because I'm still not sure how they will handle it. I need to ease them in slowly. You can't rush these things you know. The night I married Romeo I was waiting in my room for him. The nurse was going to help him climb into my room so I can see him. When the nurse came in with some bad news. Tybalt, my cousin, had been killed. Now if you think that is shocking imagine my surprise when I found out the Romeo killed him! The nurse told me that Romeo had been banished! I cried for hours. Later, the nurse came in again, this time with better news. Romeo was planning to come into my room tonight to say goodbye. When he finally came I was overjoyed. Sadly, the next day Romeo had to go. I cried again. Then my mother knocked on the door, she also had some news. Pairs is going to marry me on Thursday! What! I told her that there was no way I was going to marry him. Well, my dad came in all mad about how my behavior and told me I was to marry Pairs or I would be thrown out onto the streets! What am I going to do now!

This is where I live. The party was held here yesterday. Normally, all the parties are held here. It is a very expensive venue.

Act I

Wow! The party we had yesterday was great! I wasn't planning on going because I mean these parties are always a drag! Its just a load of people drinking and dancing until very early in the morning. The afternoon of the party my mother came up to me and asked me about what I thought about marriage. To be honest I hadn't really had the time to think about it. I haven't met the right guy. My mother told me there is a guy named Pairs who loves me and he wants my hand in marriage. I haven't even met the guy! So I was dragged to the party to meet him and to see if I liked him. While I was there I happened to meet another guy named Romeo. He is perfect. He is funny and cute and I can't get him out of my head. The only problem with him is that he is a Montague. Can you imagine how awful that is? My family and their family don't get along. Talk about family feuds. This is the worst feud of all. I have decided that I don't care what his name is. I love him. Tomorrow morning I am going to marry him whether my parents like it or not. We plan to run away and live together happily.
