there is something in the air tonight
A sudden chill. There's something coming in the air tonight. What is this feeling, so portentous, so unpredictable. I gripped my rapier hilt hard. I must anticipate for something but I do not know what. Despite being warped by confusion, I continued my journey to the church. A duel awaits me. Our families have been fighting for years and the conflicts we shared were never resolved. My heart burned with so much vengeance and hatred I did not care whatever happens to me, as long as my family's honour is restored. He murdered my wife and my little angels. Why, why them? They had got nothing to do with this dispute. Why must they bear the consequences. Little blots of water droplets flowed down my cheeks clenching my fist so hard as i put up a negative smile on my face. The atmostphere was still very cold and tense. This was one of the worst nights I ever experienced in my whole life spent in Paris. The sound of my boots clashing with the brick road echoed as i walked in this silent night. I knew one of the bloody Capulets is following me trailing my every step. I hated stalkers. They make me feel so intimidated and hostile. I stopped and stand still, then i turned behind.
" Show yourself!!! There is no reason for you to hide! I know you're there", I yelled.
Yet, there was no response. Fine, have it your way. I drew my gun and fired a shot. BANG!!! It was so loud that it could wake those who we resting in peace. Then the atmostphere turned cold, slient and tense all over again. A young Capulet showed himself. Aged thirteen I thought. Marcel would have been about this age if he were still alive. The young capulet appeared to be shivering. Tears rolled down his cheeks.
" I'm not letting you go and kill my father!!! You cannot do this!!! I won't let you!! ", he drew a gun.
I sense fear and despair by the look in his eyes. I never intended to kill a Capulet. I only wanted to regain my family's lost honour. I never mean to murder this boy's mother. I remembered that incident which had still haunt me for years.
"Go home, you are of no use here," i muttered. "Don't waste your life by attempting to kill me," I continued as i gripped my magnum and aim it towards him. He froze and his shivers seemed more intensed.
"No Logan. This is not the way. He had got nothing to do with this," I pulled the trigger.
Again the noise echoed through the still air. The gun held by that young Capulet flew in the air and dropped heavily to the ground. The young capulet just froze in shocked, thinking whether he was dead or unfortunately still alive. More tears flowing down his cheeks and he started to cry violently.
"Go home boy. Don't even try to hurt me because your efforts will be futile," i whispered as i continued on to my journey.
Finally i had reached the church, where Leo was waiting for me. The air seemed colder than it was before. Not knowing what cause it, I'm trying to overcome my ownm personal fear of .....dimly-lit candles light up the pitch-black courtyard of the church. Hostility and vendetta soon walked into the courtyard stealthily. I felt every muscle cells in my body had turned subzero. I could'nt move. I finally realised why it is a good thing to say your prayers before starting anything that is really important to you. The preciding judge came soon after. Dressing formally, he muttered in his French accent "Gentlemen, you know ze rules. First blood drawn wins. En garde gentlemen."
" That is why we're here," I bellowed with anger and such vengeance in my tone, refusing to fight first. " I will never forgive you for what you did to my family name, such disgrace. Although our family had been rivals, I still treated you like my brother. We were friends since we were little. We did not care about our family rivalries because we thought that it was STUPID!!!!!!!! Just what are you trying to prove!!!"
" Gentlemen please, we are here zo fence. Zere shouldn't be..."
" What I am trying to prove aye? The answer to your quetions is that to be better than YOU!!!" said Leo.
I was completely stunned." What do you mean?"
" You are always better than me in everything I do! You always steal the limelight from me!!! I wasn't able to prove myself to be in the Capulet family!! My family didn't trust me just because I am your friend. This is what I am destined for. From that time I no longer consider you as my friend but a member of the Belle family, the family that the Capulets despise most!! Now I've said what I am trying to prove, now fence!!"
" Show yourself!!! There is no reason for you to hide! I know you're there", I yelled.
