Hello!

I want to present you my first story on Romeo And Juliet.

The story bellow, i had in mind, after watch a movie named ''Butterfly Effect'' And Despite of imagining the actors from the 2013 version, I decided to write the story, as taking place in 1950, so instead of horses it will be cars; and guns instead of swords (and Juliet have a scooter)

Other than that, let's pretend the whole play it was just a bad dream.

Hope you like, please, enjoy.


I don´t have beta reading for this story, the fixes is doing by myself, so, please, cooperate, if you can´t bear with my english, do not keep reading, just jump to the next story.

For the ones who stay, i hope you enjoy, i´m doing my best. Thanks


ACT 1 – AWAKENING


''O friendly bullet! Be brief and let me die!''

_/_

With a gasp. 15-year old Juliet Capulet wake from her trouble sleep. All sweat and shivering, she looked around and to her surprise, she was lying on her bed, surrounded by her pillows, the same way she was in the night before, when she lied down to sleep.

Confuse, the girl blinks, still uncertain if what just happened really happened, or it was just a devilish nightmare.

After a few minutes of calming herself down, Juliet turn her bedside lamp and sat on her bed, trying to recall what she dreamed about. It has started beautifully actually, she had fallen in love and threw herself body and soul into that passion, when the tragedy begins.

The young man, for whom Juliet falls in love, was Romeo Montague, the only son of her father's greater enemy. And thus, it has begun, tragedy after tragedy, till they finally succumb to death.

Not wanting to think about that dream anymore, Juliet closed her eyes in a pray, asking God or whoever could listen to her, to ease her heart and keep the bad dream away.

Once she finished and crossed herself,Juliet walked to the bathroom to wash her face. She stood looking in the mirror still shooken by the dream. Cupping some cold water she splashed it over her face, hoping that it would make the dream vanish.

Suddenly, as she walk back to the bbdroom, a sight made her feel sick.

Just near the closet, there was that angel costume, the same costume she was supposed to wear that night and the same costume she was wearing in the dream, when she met and fall in love with that Romeo.

Juliet gasped and set down at the nearby chair, trying to catch her breath. "It wasn't a dream at all! Oh God, what i should be doing?" She told herself, trying to steady her breath.

"JULIET!" From somewhere in the mansion, Mrs. Capulet's voice was heard and in response, Juliet quickly rushed to the bathroom and submerged her head into the water in the bathtub. It was how her dream started, with her mother calling her name.

"It was an omen, not just a sick nightmare'' she thought ''Oh God, you gave me a second chance, so I can predict a tragedy to occur''

''JULIETA!'' this time it was her nurse who called her.

'' Lord, give me strength so I can change the course of this unhappy destiny and save myself and this mysterious Romeo from a tragedy'' she prayed in silence and left her room, breathing deeply, not knowing how she would change the upcoming grim future.
