Romeo & Juliet: The story of two lovers whos parents argued alot together. This story takes place in modern day's and begins with Romeo, losing his love

~Romeo walked down the street, cars passing by ignoring him like he would usually ignore the passer byers. He sighed and placed his hands in his pockets. Romeo had light brown eyes with dark black hair. Today, he wore baggy shorts since it was quite a hot day out and a comfortable shirt that showed his muscular frame. He took sword fighting classes for school, it was supposed to help his self esteem, well, that's what his parents said.

He suddenly realized that he was passing by his cousins house, Mercutio, he decided to stop in and say hi...~

Juliet

OOC: I'm only a temporary Juliet if you want this role PM Marcus2.

IC: Juliet hurried down the side walk cell phone pressed to her ear.
"Nurse I just went out shopping after class it's no big deal......... yeah I got the cutest skirt you've ever seen on sale...... don't worry I'll be back in time for dinner.......No I didn't Max out the credit card again... I have to go now....Good bye." She hung up the phone and paused in her walking to put the phone back in her purse and get a better grip on her many shopping bags.
What will I ever do with Nurse? She thought to herself. Of course she loved the dear lady , but she still managed to drive her crazy. SHe was to protective always treating Juliet like a small child.
Juliet took hold of her bags and continued up the street. SHe liked this end of town so many nice homes to look not to mention the classy shops that dotted the side walks. Unfortunatly her own house was on the opposite end of town, and it was just her luck there wasn't a cab in sight to pick her up.

"Oh well "She said to herself laying her bags down and pulling out her cell once more."I'll just have to call one."

Light. Light seeped through the half closed shutters into the hotel room, beaming onto the bed where Tybalt lay half dressed, and a completely nude woman under the covers right next to him. She shifted slightly as Tybalt rose from the covers to stand in the room. Lifting his hand up in front of his eyes, the light stinging at his eyes.

Walking over to a chair, he quickly scooped up his dark black shirt and his nice silk red button up shirt that he kept unbuttoned yet wore anyways. The black shirt was tight and revealed his hardened upper body muscles. He had the physique of a body builder yet the grace of a cat. Wearing long legged, dark black pants Tybalt was a handsome guy. Rubbing his eyes, the young lord quietly slid on his belt. It was dark black and had a silver box belt buckle that had two cats joined at the tail on it.

Known for having the strength of a lion yet the grace of a panther, he was known as Tybalt: The Prince of Cats. Also his title fit his personality: Voltile, Rough, Michevous and Charming. Sliding both of his guns into their holsters, each with a black handle grips yet with golden engravings on them. The silver gun was known as Ivory, the black known as Ebony. Each gun had one cat on them resembling the ones on his belt buckle.

The girl in the bed stirred. She sat up, the silk sheets sliding down off her upper body to reveal her full breasts. She was beautiful yet stupid, like most woman of the time. Tybalt didn't know any brilliant woman, they were to busy looking sexy for guys like Tybalt. Walking over to the side of the bed, his movements fluent as a flowing river, the handsome man grabbed the girl under the chin and angled it. Leaning down, Tybalt planted a soft kiss to her lips.

Letting her head drop as he broke the kiss of, Tybalt turned and made off towards the door. He halted as he was called after "Tybalt, where are you going?" the beautiful woman asked question.

Turning around to look at her with a blank face "Why I am leaving, Henceforth we shall never meet....whatever your name was" Tybalt said as he leaned against the door frame.

"I...I thought you said you loved me" Was the innocent yet hurt reply from the woman, still sitting in the bed, now covering herself up.

"Well that was yesterday. You know how love works babe, sometimes you love someone just until you fuck them and sometimes you love them until you die. I just loved you until I fucked you and I just did. You’re only average, sorry." Tybalt said. Before she could say anything or get angry, Tybalt cut her off "So I guess we will not be seeing each other again, goodbye" He said as he turned towards the door again.

"Tybalt, you monster, I swear if you walk out that door I will tell everyone how much of a monster you are!!" Was the agonized cry of a hurt woman from behind him? Sighing, Tybalt spun around, drawing his black pistol. Pulling the trigger in rapid sucession, the bullets peircing the power girl’s body.Laying cold, stone dead on the bed, the woman just bled.Sighing, Tybalt exited into the lushly carpeted hallway.

The elevator rung as the doors slid open. Walking into the lobby, it was a grand sight, with lush chairs and carpet. It had beautiful decorative paintings and had a fountain carved from marble in the middle of it. It was one of the finest hotels in all of Verona. Walking tall and proud of himself, his hawk like eyes always scanning the scene, he didn't look out of place at all.

Walking up the check out desk, Tybalt looked at the hotel owner and smiled slightly. The hotel owner was one of his old friends from a while back. Drawing a wad of bills, Tybalt set them on the desk." That’s for the room old friend and a little extra because I left a little bit of a mess"

The hotel owner just shook his head." That’s the third time this month, can’t you ever break it off with them that doesn't require any...you know...killing?" The hotel owner caught Tybalt's grin.” I guess not, well have a good day sir, thanks for you money and stay out of a lot of trouble, since you can't stay out of any"

Nodding with a slight smirk, Tybalt exited the hotel. Blowing a kiss to the woman behind the desk-a woman he had fucked before- Tybalt smoothly moved through the spinning door. Walking out onto the parking lot, the Valet boy brought the car around the corner. Tybalt could hear the roaring engine of his Mercedes convertible. It had nice black leather seats. It was red with black flames on it. Catching the keys, Tybalt nodded to the valet boy and entered the car. Sliding into his seat, he turned the keys and drove off.

He drove like a maniac. He cut three people off and weaved through the traffic. He was a road Nazi. Driving into a nice part of town, he stopped by the massive penthouse of the capulets. His troops were waiting for him.Four guys from the Capulet family went everywhere with him, they were all part of Tybalt’s gang.

"Good morning gentlemen, how have you all been?" Tybalt asked as he started the car up and drove off back into the street, blaring Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses.

None of them really responded. Finally after a moment of silence, one of the guys sitting behind him asked "Fuck another girl Tybalt?" He said as he picked up a thong off the front of the car.

"Yeah, all girls want to fuck me. Least I get some, I don't have to try and hit on my mom" Tybalt said as he quickly grabbed the thong and threw it out the side of the car, the high wind sending them back into the windshield of the next car.

"You've fucked about every girl but Juliet, She’s too much for you Tybalt" one of the guys in the back said "She’s untouchable, all pure and good. Sorry Tybalt" another said mockingly as they continued to drive down the street. They were on an almost empty freeway, going about 130.

"You'll see I’ll fuck her as good as any other woman. No one says no to Tybalt!" He roared over the loud music as he passed another slow moving car "But don't you worry about that, the object of today is those damn Montagues. Let’s find some of those mother fuckers and blow them to bits!" Tybalt said as he pulled off the freeway and right into a shell station.

Getting out of the car, the gas attendants walked over. They didn't ask for a card or anything, they just started filling his tank. His family’s fortune was made off owning OPCW, which controlled all oil and gas. Looking back at his guys, he pointed to some Montague men across the street at McDonalds. Smirking big, Tybalt walked into the back and flipped open the trunk to the car.

Arming themselves, the Capulet guys-Lead by Tybalt-walked smoothly up the guys from Montague guys sitting in their car in the parking lot of McDonalds "Hey mother fuckers!" Tybalt said as he drew out Ebony and Ivory. Firing the guns, the sound of gun fire scared most commoners away. His firing was repeated by the other Capulet guys. Bullets punctured the car and skin.

Killing about half of their guys, the lucky Montague soldiers quickly jumped behind the car and get their own weapons. Ducking behind some cover on their own, everyone accept for Tybalt ducked behind another car. Standing in the open Tybalt roared out "Come on you worms, you have more than that!" As he fired off his guns a few more times. Firing until there was only blank clicks, Tybalt jumped aside as the Montague boys fired back.

Gunfire shot back and forth. Finally reloading his guns, Tybalt stealthfully moved around another car. Finally diving out of cover, he was level with the reloading Montague boys. Firing in rapid succession, the screams of the soldiers hit the air as the men fell to their knees then flat on their face: dead.

Smirking, He Tybalt stood as his men came out from behind the other car. As they high five each other, Tybalt quickly flipped open their trunk. Like expected they had a bucket of gasoline in it. Taking the red container, he poured the gasoline on their car. Reaching into his pocket, he drew out a cigarette and a lighter. Lighting the cigarette, he took on puff and then flicked the burning paper into the car. It took flame.

Shaking his head, the loud screech of Sirens was not far off. Running across to the gas station, the Capulet boys got in their cars and ignited the engine. Pushing the pedal down, Tybalt sped into the street, making a sharp left turn with the screech of tires and drove off into traffic.

The gates opened as the car pulled into the massive penthouse of the Capulet. Shaking his head, Tybalt parked the car slammed the door shut behind of him. The other guys seemed to drift off into no where. Walking through the beautiful and well kept garden, Tybalt walked towards the front door. Walking out of the same door was the Friar.

The Friar stopped right in front of Tybalt and put his arm out." Tybalt, where have you been, your relatives have been moderately worried about you, I can't see why though" the Friar said with a mild tone of disrespect in his voice.

"Excuse me father, for I have sinned" Was Tybalt’s only reply as he pushed the Friar out of his way. Shaking his head, the Friar shouted after Tybalt "Is all you ever do cause trouble?" Tybalt gave no answer, he only grinned evilly
.

Juliet got into the cab loading all the shopping bags into the back seat.
"Take me to the Capulet penthouse please." She said the the driver.

The driver looked over into the back seat."Sorry Ma'am, most the roads on that end of town are blocked off...some sort of gang related violence. There were fires and everything."

"FUCK! Fucking Tybalt."She said under her breath. Then she smilled sweetly to her driver."I know another way there."

Juliet knew every possible way to get back home it wasn't the first time Tybalts actions had resulted in police tape and road blocks.

30 minutes later she arrived safe and sound on her estate. She handed her bags off to the staff and walked up the the massive decoratve stair case.

"Tybalt what the fuck have you done this time?" SHe bellowed up the stairs.

 

[TheScarletBlade]

Tybalt hadn't had a lot of time to get his shit togather.He was in the middle of changing his clothes,his other ones covered in the blood of Montague men.He threw them into a metal bin.Drawing his lighter,he lit the clothes on fire.

Tybalt was a fanatical killer of Montagues.He believed so strongly against the Montagues that he figured their blood was tainted,thus the burning of his clothes.As they burn,He lifted open his window and threw the metal bin out of the window.Like usual the metal basin landed on someone and that sent a mighty uproar through the house.

Shaking his head,Tybalt stood naked in his room.Admiring himself in the mirror for himself,he was just above average in length,he was nothing special yet that didn't seem to matter to most girls.It was how you used the sword,not how long it was.Shaking his head,he slid on some dark black pants and chose a tight fitting gray shirt.

Pulling a dark black silk button up shirt,he slid it on yet kept the buttons undone.He finally slid a comb through his still wet hair from his recent shower.The damn montague men bled to much for their own good.Finally strapping his belt on and sliding his guns into place,Tybalt heard someone calling out his name.It sounded feminine so that usually ment some female realative or some angery woman.

Walking to his door,he pulled it open and walked out into the hall.His room was second away from the edge of the stairs and he easly saw the woman comming up the stairs.Well,look who it is Tybalt said with an evil smirk.Comming to the edge of the stairs,Tybalt leaned against the railing,looking down upon the beautiful Juliet.

"Well the embodiment of beauty has returned.Looking has beautiful as ever cousin" Tybalt said with a rougish grin crossing his handsome face as he continued to lean wantonly against the rail.

Mercutio lived in a two story house, nothing too fancy, just a big yard and three cars and a motorcycle he actually worshiped. Mercutio was half italian half african american, but it was easy for him growing up, there weren't many problems for him because of his family's status in society. He was in his garage lifting weights, he was laying down on his bench set, he wore shorts and a white wifebeater. He had nice abs, a six pac, a blue bandanna kept his braids from falling in his face as he worked out.

He wasn't a really violent person except if one threatened his family, then all hell would be released on that person. Like Romeo he took fencing lessons, he loved to sword fight, but not as much as he loved to shoot guns, especially paintball guns. Breathing heavily as he lifted 220 lbs he set the weights on the braces above him. Sitting up he wipped the sweat off his face with a towel beside him. "Man...either i'm getting weaker or this is getting harder." he said aloud.

 

[Fayos]

Juliet looked up at Tybalt and rolled her eyes at the way he addressed her. At the same time she shifted herself so he couldn't look down her shirt as easily.

"For once I'd like to return home with out having to work around police lines." She said stamping up the stairs towards him." I thought there were supposed to be laws preventing street brawls..I guess some empty headed Asshole didn't get the memo."
She tried to push her way past him."Oh and don't grin at me that way." She shoved him aside heading towards her room." DO me a favor and don't bother me for the next few hours."
She slammed and locked the door behind her.

 

[TheScarletBlade]

"Hey,I am not an empty minded Asshole,I resent that.Montague soldiers deserve to die,they fuck with us,My guns fuck with them.They just chose the wrong side of the line to sit on" Tybalt said as he moved right in her way,still grinning,he easly held her there was he talked to her.She was no match to his strength.

"Hell,your a spirited girl,I know you don't always follow the law either.Well not house law,I have seen you flirting with those horrible Montague dogs at your school." Tybalt said as she still tried to resist him yet he held her in place,with that same evil,roguish grin.

"I will keep this grin on,its not my fault I try and get in the way of beautiful girls,its not my fault I prefer to be more liberal in where I put certian things of mine" Tybalt said as he finally let her by,after she was about to get tired of trying to push through.

"Someday,you'll see.We will have destroyed all of those fucking knaves and we will rule Verona" Tybalt said as he watched her intently as she walked away,noticing the slight sway of her hips and her firm ass.

"And someday,that ass will be mine too!" Tybalt said as he turned and walked down the stairs.Walking smoothly through the house,people seemed to stay out of his way as he entered into the main room.A large widescreen tv was turned to the news channel and it showed the live coverage of the gang fight.

Tybalt smirked as he saw himself on the big screen "Damn I am handsome" He said with as he took a seat on the massive leather couch that costed a small fortune.Kicking back,he kicked his legs up on the leg rest and called loudly for a servant.

The servant that arrived was a male servant.He walked hesitantly across the room towards Tybalt.Tybalt was known for his wrath and was often known for outright killing servants."Y..Yes master?" The servant said as he came to the edge of the couch,looking right at Tybalt.

"Get on the phone,drive out and get my some chinese food.Yes thats chinese food and if you fuck this up I swear to god I will kill you.Your new around here right? well you got your job because I killed the last shithead that fucked with me...Why the fuck are you still standing there,GO!!" Tybalt yelled as he drew out one of his pistols and aimed it at the servant.

Squeling and almost peeing his pants,the servant literally jumped out of his skin as he ran off,through the kitchen and immediately got on the phone calling some sort of Chinese resturant.Clicking off the safety just incase,Tybalt watched the coverage on his massacure on the television.Sliding the gun away,he smirked and shifted in his seat.

A beautiful anchorwoman went on and started talking about Tybalt,indentifying him as the handsome leader of the killings."Damn that woman is a hotty,wouldn't mind getting a peice of her ass too" Tybalt said as he leaned back and continued to watch,waiting for his food.

Tess the page.

OOC: I'm bringing my character now. If any one wants Juliet take her.
I guess I'll play the page as sort of a messenger/ maid/page/ servent girl.








Tess was young and naive about the world around her. Her long dark brown hair swished back and forth as she walked though the halls of the Capulet estate package under arm. Her hazel eyes grew wider at the sight of Tybalt lounging on the couch watching the news. She watched the screen for a moment the reporter describing a horrible gang attack. “Who would do such a thing?” She thought to her self.
She forgot about the news and went back to swooning over Tybalt how handsome he looked to her, he was absolutely gorgous. To Tess Tybalt could not do a single thing wrong, she couldn’t believe how rude Juliet would be to him he was a nice guy...a hot guy...he was THE SEX…just misunderstood at times. Of course Tess didn’t know about the goings on earlier or the blood shed the pain and suffering Tybalt inflicted on others. She ignored his sadistic nature and looked upon his fascination with guns as a healthy hobby.

She worked up the courage to speak to him. “Sir.”She sputtered meekly. “ummm sir” She said again a little clearer. “That gun you ordered last week just arrived.” She held the brown package out towards him hoping his hand might brush against hers.

 

[TheScarletBlade]

Comming around the bin was the page.He had seen her a couple of times before.She always seemed sort of flustered when she came around the house.It was pretty obvious she had a major thing for Tybalt and he didn't blame her.Every woman wanted him,every night he just waited and counted all the girls and then had one of them.Tybalt always played it smooth.

Grabbing the package from her,he set it down on the couch next to him and grabbed her hand before she could wander off.Smiling,his sweet smile,his eyes locking with her.He had begun to cast his spell on her."I don't want to think of guns,all these killings going on.I prefer for liberal things if you ask me" Tybalt said as he pulled her closer to him.

"There is a party going on here at the Capulet Penthouse,you should come if you have enough time,you come around her all the time so I am sure my lord capulet has any problem and if any man has a problem with it.Tell him he can come and meet me here.He'll find that Ebony and Ivory are always hungery,like their master" He said as he winked to her and then looked back to the televison,almost completely forgetting she was there.Tybalt was just smooth like that and he knew he could pull it off.

 

[Fayos]

Tess shuddered when he held her hand and pulled her closer. She smiled back at him her heart fluttering that he was at least talking to her.

Tybalt was so good she thought. not wanting to talk about his beloved guns after such a tragic event.

Her heart leapt with the words"There is a party going on here at the Capulet Penthouse,you should come"
He had pulled her into his spell and she wasn't about to fight him.

Even after he had forgotten about her Tess pretended he cared." Oh I'll be their sir, I wouldn't miss it for the world."

Juliet

Juliet stood infront of her full length mirror combing out her long hair.

She tried to cheer herself up by reminding herself of the party Her father was hosting. THe penthouse would be full of beautiful women to distract Tybalt.Not to mention all the attractive young men that would be attending. She smiled her sour mood vanishing. Juliet pulled her hair up into a bun keeping it out of her face so it wouldn't get tangled again. She laid the brush on the table and opend her closet door. Her vast walk in closet would be the envey of any young lady. SHe scanned the many racks of ball gowns and evening dresses trying to find the right dress for such an occasion.
Juliet selected an orcid coloured evening gown. It was sleeveless and the top cut in to emphasize her breasts with out shoing too much off. The gown curved to show off her slender curvy figure and had a delightful bell shaped bottom that made Juliet feel like a princess... one of the reasons this gown was her favorite.

"This is the one."She said taking it off the rack and laying it on the bed. SHe went back to her closet to find shoes and a matchng hand bag her mood drastically diffrent from earlier."I'm not going to let Tybalt ruin the rest of this day on me." She promised herself.

 

[Marcus2]

~he noticed Mercutio in the garage and smiled as he hurried over to him barely missing a passing car. He saw his bike outside, aparently drying off from being washed. He had just gotten there when Mer, as he liked to be called set down his weights~

Man...either i'm getting weaker or this is getting harder

If you are getting weaker then I can't wait to be the crap outta you

~he grinned. They liked to joke alot. He went over and grabbed a chair~

How ya been Mer? Any luck with those girls you've been watching?

~he grinned. Mercutio was indeed a sexy beast to the girls. Though from the word of the street, Tybalt was taking all the action. He wished he could have a crack at him and mak'em stop but there was a real doubt in him that he would, so he didn't try.

All his mind was concentrated on was Rosaline. She had dumped him and left him dry. Supposably there was a party later tonight at the Capulet home, some mask party. He was starting to think of going to see Rosaline~

 

[Fayos]

"NURSE! have you seen my pretty butterfly mask?" Juliet yelled leaning out of her bedroom door. " I can't find it any where."

A frumpy lady in her mid 60's hurried out form a near by room."My goodness Julie, you'd loose your head if it wasn't attached."She passed Juliet an elegantly crafted mask that resembled an orcid coloured butterfly. "Here you go child, you'll be turning all the heads tonight. Make sure that mask can come off easily for when the boys want to get at you."The nurse winked and chuckkled playfully.


Juliet smiled."Thank you for finding it for me...could you help me with my hair?"She asked going back to her bedroom.

THe nurse followed sitting Juliet down at the edge of her bed and pinning her long strands of hair up in an attractive updo.

"I doubt many of the boys will pay attention to me."Juliet sighed. "Rosaline just dumped her latest boytoy so all the hot guys will be after her."

"Don't be so foolish Julie, They'd all do you the first chance they get." The nurse said flatly.
"NURSE!"Juliet shreiked in shock." I can't believe you just said that."

The Nurse laughed finishing with her hair."You better get ready the guests will be arriving soon."

 

[JokerWild]

Mercutio looked up smiling at his cousin. “You’re going to have to wait in line with the rest of the weaker links.” he said making flexing his muscles. Getting up he tightened his bandanna, walking over the a steel shelf that held several dozen paintball guns as well as real ones. He picked up a blue chrome paintball gun and tossed it to Romeo. “Luck? You don’t need luck when you have a big package. Just kidding, it’s been cool, kind of hard to find a girl who knows I’m not a murderer with Tybalt running around like Jason Vorhees.” he said.

Looking around the room he put his hands on his chin as if he were thinking. “I put my freaking mask somewhere but I can’t find it...I just got it shipped in from China, it’s a yin-yang mask, sort of like a dark-light thing going on, it’s really hot. Yea I know you probably weren’t expecting it but yes we are crashing the annual capulet mask party! Something to get your mind off of that devil woman Rosaline.” he said smirking. Mercutio walked back to his weight bench and sat down on it.

 

[Marcus2]

Alright, well, i'll go but don't be surprised if I don't do anything

~he grinned~

Well find your mask, I'll be back here in about 45 minutes to pick ya up, unless, you are gonna drive there. Just get ready and when you are ready, give me a call....

~he told him more as a command as he left and headed back to his house. Once there, he found his mask. He went into the shower and shaved as well as cleansed his body. Afterwards, he put on some deoderant that he found that woman liked andwent back into his room to chance into baggy pants and a black shirt. Now all he had to do was wait~

 

[Fayos]

Now dressed for the party juliet went back down stairs. THe house staff did an exelent job transforiming the Capulet Penthouse into an elegant ballroom setting. The place reminded juliet of soemthing out of a Fairy tale. Everything was perfect from the table cloths to the ice sculpture center piece.

THe servents were setting up the bar and starting to bring out food...what a night this would be she thought.

Security would be tight too There were several large men in black tuxs roaming the house. She pittied any intruder if they didn't get them surly Tybalt would.

SHe didn't see Tybalt any where he was probably off getting ready or causing trouble else where in the house. Juliet was glade to have a few minutes with out him breathing down her neck, she walked off gracefully preparing to greet guests as they arrived.
