*Romeo and Juliet* Summary:You see we are soul mates. The legend is told that the people should kill soul mates because they are traditionally partners that are forbidden to be together. We are connected Romeo, if you die than I die as well. A story of love, passion, pain and fate.


Romeo pov- The Hunt.


I crawled through the thick bushes; thorns tugged and ripped at my attire. We have been crawling through the Verona forest in hopes of finding our meal for tonight, but as I looked up towards the creeping black sky, It seemed unlikely we'd be having meat tonight.

"Romeo!" I heard a harsh whisper come from behind. I looked behind me to find Benvolio, my cousin crawling beside me.

"What!" I said irritated.

I looked over at him, he was soaking wet from the heavy rain. He shook from the cold and rubbed his hands together trying to create heat.

"I'm going east, you go west, come back here in ten minutes if you don't find anything." He said.

Without delay I got up and walked towards the western side of the bone-chilling forest. The dark, sinister forest seemed to match my mood. Ever since I found that my dearest Rosaline did not hold love for me anymore, I couldn't help but loathe the passion of love. Love did not exist in this world.

I stopped when I found myself in a huge meadow. The trees sulked and looked lifeless as the branches hung low. The flowers that covered the forest floor were drowned with mud.

I sat by on a large rock, putting my elbows on my knees and my head in my hands.

"Why must love be so cruel, it should be simple and painless and not so poisonous to ones heart." I mumbled.

I sighed and closed my eyes as the rain pelted my clothes.

When I heard a twig snap, my head shot up peering into the dark forest.

"Who's there?" I said, quietly getting to my feet and pulling my sword out.

Is it Benvolio playing tricks on me? But it has hardly been ten minutes.

"I said who goes there?" I repeated, descending into my defensive posture.

Astonishment filled me as a white wolf appeared before me. I felt a magnetic pull and found myself walking slowly towards the wolf. I could tell this wolf was a female because of its smaller size and shape of her body. She crouched and growled menacingly at me.

I held my hands in surrender to assure her I wouldn't hurt her. She calmed down and just froze staring at me.

Her large blue eyes looked so innocent and pure. Her beautiful white fur coat clung to her from the rain. My eyebrows furred in confusion, she had a silver chain around her neck. It had one letter 'C' and underneath it read Juliet.

Why would a wild animal have a necklace?

This wolf simply did not belong in this vile forest, she belonged somewhere more beautiful than this. I blinked rapidly trying to get rid of the vision.

She's a wolf, snap out of it Romeo! I said to myself.

"Romeo! What are you doing kill it!" Benvolio jumped from behind me, taking out his sword and pointing it towards the new found light of the dark foul forest.

"NOOO!" I said jumping in front of him. I looked behind me to see the tail end of the alluring wolf as it escaped into the clearing.

"Ugh! Great job Romeo, We hunt all day and when we finally find a decent animal, you fail to kill it! Now we have to go back with nothing, we are going to look like fools!" He said throwing his hands in the air and walking out of the little meadow.

I realized I had a huge smile plastered across my face. I had protected the mystifying yet exquisite wolf. I saved the one thing worth saving in Verona.

Now my job was to find that heavenly wolf.
