Inside the Family Tomb
 
Why...why isn't he here yet?

Juliet whimpered as she brought her knees closer for warmth. Her heart throbbed painfully in her chest. There she was, inside the tomb of her ancestors, waiting, praying, and wishing that her beloved Romeo would come and rescue her from the damp, dark place.
 
She took a deep breath to calm her nerves, but rotting flesh and mold overcame her senses. The dark-haired teen frantically looked around...she could not see anything, nor hear anything, except for the chilling breeze that hit her back every now and then.

This iswhat you wished for, Juliet...

Only the throbbing pulse from her temples and the ice-cold coffin bed beneath her kept her from thinking that she was lifeless. Feeling weak and faint, Juliet swallowed with great effort that gulp of air she had taken moments ago.

...right?

The bitter taste of that horrid potion the friar had given her still lingered inside her mouth.

Yes...definitely.

Darkness and coldness blanketed her as she awaits the banished Montague, her true love, husband, and savior, to come and take her back to civilization. Their haven, in Mantua, would receive them with open arms, and they could live there without any family feuds or secrecy tailing behind them.
 
Until then, she could only wait for that time to come—

Romeo is worth the wait.

—just like her ancestors who waited for entrance to their haven...on the other side.

Author's Notes:

My Disclaimer is that I don't own Romeo and Juliet. It belongs to William Shakespeare.
