A Short Intro Poem…
A long time ago lived two great families,
Brought together for great adversities.
The Capulets and Montagues feud,
Their squabbles ruin everybody’s mood.
No one knows how this battle started,
Nobody cared enough to ask them before they departed.
So now let’s follow history back,
For about ninety years time should tell us who started this attack.
It was a bright and sunny day when William Capulet met Violet Montague. Both were in their teens, single, and looking for love. Violet’s mother was hideous, but her family was rich and she was married by the time she turned fifteen. Violet, with her chocolate brown hair and bright blue eyes, instead was the most sought-after teen in all of Verona, but refused any arranged marriage proposed to her by her parents. When he was William’s age, his father was quite the lady-killer, and still had a reputation, even after marrying William’s mother. Both were at the market, looking for interesting things to buy with their parent’s money. While both rummaged through Mrs. Potts, Verona’s finest pottery shop, their eyes met. The two began spending more and more time together, and fell for each other soon after. After several weeks, Lady Montague was delighted to hear of William’s proposal and both families happily began the preparations.
Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse. Just before their wedding, William backed out of the marriage. He said that he wasn’t ready for that much of a commitment, breaking Violet’s heart. Violet sobbed in her room for days, refusing to talk to anyone. After barely ingesting anything for a fortnight, the girl died from starvation. At her funeral, the Montagues blamed William for Violet’s death. The Capulets defended their son, saying that it was Violet’s fault that she starved. The two families separated, both furious with the other party.
Lord and Lady Montague forced Victoria, Violet’s younger sister, to promise not to speak to the Capulets ever again. Soon after the funeral, she snuck into the Capulet mansion and stabbed William while he was sleeping. Because of two teenagers, the Capulets and Montagues will forever feud.
Unless there are two more teens that can stop it… *wink*
