Re: Romeo, Romeo. Where Art Thou, Romeo? [ Peace ]

[Guest]

"It's not your fault," she replied softly. "I was the one who put both of us in danger. I offered you to come back. If you hadn't, you would've been safer." She rested comfortably against him. What was it in him that changed her so much? That made her fall so quickly and so hard for him? She sighed and closed her eyes, just resting against him and enjoying her time with him because she knew it might not last.

"You did nothing wrong." I postioned myself to face her. "Don't balme yourself." I stroked her cheek. "We'll be okay." I smiled at her gorgeous face. "You changed your dress. Why? The red was so pretty on you. Brought out your eyes." I examined the yellow sun dress. "You always manage to look better than me."

[Guest]

"I changed because of the weather," she replied. "My red dress is too heavy for this time of year." She reached up and kissed his cheek and said, "I still think you're very handsome, no matter how you're dressed." She turned and rested her head against his shoulder once more.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
"Thank you." I laughed and rested my chin o her head again. I couldn't believe my feelings for her already. I think, and I ought to not say it but, I loved her. My blue eyes closed as I listened to the birds chirping outside. "It is a fair day. Beautiful. I love summer."

[Guest]

Suddenly feeling a bit emotional, she pulled away from him and looked him in the eyes. She laughed at herself a moment, "You know, it's very strange." She fiddled with her fingers. "I've only seen you three times, and I hardly know you....but..." she bit her lip, she didn't know how to say it...

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
I let her finish while I twirled her hair around my finger. I looked up at her face. I smiled once again and put her hand under mine. "Yes?"

(Sorry, it's a little short.)

[Guest]

She laughed at herself and cupped her face in her hands, but only momentarily. "I'm so pathetic," she chuckled again. "I was just gonna say... I think... I think I might actually be falling in love with you." She didn't look at him, but kept her gaze on the floor.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
"Fayre, the truth is, I love you too." I frowned at myself. 'But this shouldn't be happening. Our parents..." I shook ym heaad. "I din't care. I love you. I love you." I smiled again and pressed my lips gently agaisnt hers.I closed my eyes, putting my hand behind her head. I pressed my lips a little bit harder on her red, slim ones.

[Guest]

Fayre smiled and when he leaned in to kiss her, she returned the kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled herself closer to him. She no longer had a care in the world. She felt like she was completely melting into him, and she made no move to pull away from his warm embrace.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
I kissed her again and pulled away. "I love you..." I whispered in her ear and kissed her on the cheek. I got up and walked out, looking for people. I didn't see anyone so I came back in. "Let's go." I held out ym hand and led her outside. I retrieved my horse i helped her on and started trotting towards the lake. I stopped behind a grove of trees right before where the lake was. "Stay." I drew my sword and walked out the thick brush of trees. I saw a man and a woman at the side of the lake. I put my sword back in its sheath. "hello, sir and madam." I did not know who I was adknowledging to, but my voice was welcoming anyway. "Fine day isn't it?"

[Guest]

Fayre smiled and did as she was told. Suddenly a cold pang of fear threaded its way through her. Was it her parents?
A queer grin appeared upon Queen Jetta's face. "What brings you around these parts. Prince?"
Fayre peaked out from behind the tree. She had to know what was going on.
Her father scowled deeply as his arms were crossed, one hand upon the hilt of his sword. He tapped his foot impatiently. "YOu haven't chanced upon seeing my daughter around here, have you?" He said in a low, husky voice.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
"Good to see you madam, and sir, I have not. I'm so sorry. I will tell you if I come across her. Isn't her name Fayre?" I gave them a puzzled look as I stepped closer to them. I held out ym hand for the King to shake it. " Pleasure seeing you, sir." I smiled warmly. I bowed in respect and walked away. I came to see Fayre behind a trre. "Let's go." I whispered and mounted my horse. "They want you. I can sneek you in my friend's house."

[Guest]

Little to Fayre's knowledge, her mother rounded the corner to see the two of them. "Now, young man, I suggest you hand over my daughter." Her father was soon behind his wife. Fayre whispered in his ear, "They'll kill you if I don't go with them. I can't let them kill you..." she hopped off the horse and walked slowly over to her mother, where her father grabbed her by the back of the neck and shoved her forward.
"Thank you, sir, for safely returning my daughter home." He pushed her forward again and Fayre stumbled, but regained her footing, looking to the crushed purple rose that laid on the ground where her mother had stepped upon it. She kept her head down and hands folded in front of her as her parents escorted her home.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
I jumped off my steed and followed them. "Don't get any ideas that I'm going to let you hurt her in any way..." I drew my sword once again. "So, you can take her home and let her be, or if you have plans to hurt her, I'll kill you." I smiled and pointed the tip of my weapon towards them. "You wouldn't want that, now would you?"

[Guest]

"What a cocky bastard," Jetta said plainly. "You can do much better, Fayre." Her mother flicked the tip of Alexander's sword. "You can't kill us." She chuckled. Fayre's father grinned as well.
"He's not a bastard!" Fayre said, whipping around to face her parents. "He's better than any of the suitors you've picked!" She began to storm off but her father caught her by the wrist and pulled her closer to him.
"Don't try that again, little miss," He said sternly, raising his hand as if to slap her. She flinched instinctively but looked up when nothing came. "And I'm sorry, laddie, but what ever happens to our daughter is none of your concern." He turned around again, putting a loving arm over his wife and an angered hold on his daughter's shoulder.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
"I beg your pardon sir, but it is." I frowned and looked at Fayre with loving eyes. "Now, she will tell me if you hurt her. That would be the biggest mistake of your life." I mouthed sorry to her. "You can take her home, but don't dare to lay a hand on her." These last words were the most curel-sounding words that had ever come of my mouth. I turned and mounted my horse, sadly departing with Fayre. I turned once before taking off towards my kingdom. I wetn staright to the palace and up to my room. I slammed the door and locked it. "Mistro!" I yelled to my servant and he came running up. "Yes?" He bowed and came back up. "Draw me a bath." He walked towards the bathing room and poured water intot he porclein tub. I stepped in the hot water and just sat therem looking at the ceiling.

[Guest]

When Fayre got home, her parents barred the windows in her room so she couldn't escape and locked the door behind them. She stood by the window and gripped the new iron bars that had been attached from the outside. She had nothing in her room that would loosen the screws holding them to the outside wall. Fayre went over to her bed and laid down on it, face covered in the pillows. There she cried some of the first tears she'd ever cried over a boy. She looked up when her father came striding in with belt in hand. She shivered a moment, expecting him to hit her.
"You go near that boy again and I'll whip you until people can't tell you're a woman." He said through clenched teeth.
"There's nothing you can do to stop me from going back to him." She fell back into the covers as she felt the hard leather snap across her cheek. She didn't bother to look up, but stayed in her bed, handing covering her bright red cheek.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
I climbed out of the tub and got dressed in a white shirt overlayed with a tan vest, with black pants and tan boots.I waited until dark, and I went outside and walked to the lake to meet Fayre. I sat down on a rock and waited for her. I sat there for about an hour and decided she wasn't coming. I walked towards the cavern we were in earlier today. I sat down on the cold, stone ground. I started thinking of many things. Like my future coronation, Fayre, and my kingdom. I thought until my eyes could no longer keep open and my fell asleep.

[Guest]

Fayre pounded on the walls of her room, "Let me out of here!" She screamed. A maid came in and she nearly choked her. "Go to the lake. Tell him i can't come. My parents are holding me in my room and there's no way to get out! GO!" She said in a hushed tone so her parents wouldn't hear. The servant girl, named Cira, rushed out to the lake to find nobody there. She searched around and called out, "Alexander?" She called again, "Alexander?" She frowned, "Fayre isn't going to be happy..."

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
I awoke to someone yelling my name. "Fayre?" I stodd up and went out the cavern, seeing a young woman. I walked towrads her. "Yes?" I fixed my hair and rubbed my eyes. "What is it?" I smiled at the maiden as I thought of Fayre. I lead the girl to a rock in which I sat on. I was still drowsy, so I wobbled on my perch a little. I took the cantene from it's sling and drank some. The water instanly made me feel better.

[Guest]

"Oh, good," Cira said. "I'm glad I found you." She didn't sit. "I have a message from Fayre. She wanted me to tell you she didn't come because her parents have trapped her in her room. They've locked the only door and barred the windows with iron bars from the outside. She can't get out no matter what. That's all." Cira rubbed her arm. She was talking to her king's enemy?! But she wouldn't betray the kind Fayre, who had been so nice to her.

[BayMickey]

~Alexander~
I frowned and got up from the rock. "Have they hurt her?" My voice was strong but worried. "Tell her that I love her..." I looked at my feet and kicked a rock into the lake. "And give her this." I pulled the purple rose from my satchel and handed it to the maid. "Be careful, don't let any petals drop or the whole flower will wilt." I turned and walked in the direction of the kingdom. Finally reaching the castle, I changed into my night clothes and read "Romeo and Juliet." It was such a wonderful, but depressing story. It reminded me of Fayre and I. I sighed and turned to Mistro. "Go to bed, you're tired."He went and didn't come back, so I climbed in my own bed. "Goodnight..."
I whispered and turned off the light.

(Sorry I posted so late, I'm at a friend's house.)

[BayMickey]

[Guest]

The young prince left too soon. She hadn't been able to tell him about the incident with Fayre and her father's belt. Although it was at least an hour later, Fayre's face was still cherry red. Cira sighed and went back to the castle in a hurry, bringing the purple rose in her hands. Se snuck it into Fayre's room and handed it to her. "He said he loves you."
Fayre twirled the rose in her hands. How she longed for his comforting touch and the sweet taste of his lips. She laid down onher bed and looked out the barred window, "Romeo, Romeo...Where art thou, Romeo?" She whispered softly.Fayre turned to Cira and waved her hand. "Go on, now. And thank you..." Cira was proceded by her father. Fayre hid the rose in her drawer, but the scent still lingered. Her father caught a whiff of the sweet-smelling rose and grabbed her by the shoulders, throwing her against the wall,
"I lock you in your room and you still disobey me?!" He slapped her. "i might as well slit your throat!" He tied her wrist with chain to her bedpost. "You'll learn, no matter how much blood it takes." He stormed from the room, leaving Fayre with a bloodied nose and tear-streaked face. "Romeo..." she whispered. "Please save me...."

(Thanks!)

~Alexander~
I went ot sleep and woke up the next mourning fully refreshed. After changing, I went to my father's quarters and knocked on the door. "Father." I shook his hand when he opened the door. "I have to, tell you something." He walked down into the garden with me. "Um, if I said I had met someone, more specific a lady, how would you handle it?" My father smiled. "That's great! Who is the lady? I must meet her!" I frowned and looked at the ground. "Fayre..." He cringed and stood up before me. "You mean that princess? No, no, no! I refuse!" I stood up and looked him eye to eye. "Yes." I turned and walked out to the stables. I tacked and mounted my horse, named Demon y the way. I rode ack behind the lake into the backroads of Fayre's Father's kingdom. I rode until I could spot the castle and flipped my hood up to hide my face. I rode to the castle and to the front of it. "The king has ordered me here for some, political duties." I made my voice sound deeper and the guards admitted me in. I slipped past the door and into a empty corrider, testing doorknobs to see which were locked. I climbed many stairs and finnaly found a locked down at the top level. I looked around me and decided to break down the door. I kicked at it once and the wood split in the middle. I kicked about three more times and the door fell. I rushed in to find Fayre chained to her bed. "I'm here." I said it in my regular voice so she would recognize me under the cloak. I broke the chain with the metal end of my dagger and scooped Fayre into my arms. I ran down every step and encoutered some people, but set her by my side to seem as a servant. We got out of the castle and I mounted my horse with one arm cradling Fayre and the other on the reigns. I rode deep into the woods to my 'friend's' house. I banged on the door and a short, plump man answered. I flipped down my hood and he admitted me in. I set Fayre on a couch in the middle og the main room. "She's been injured some, but not much..." I sat down beside the couch and held her hand. "It's over now."
