Third act, time for final conclusions

Apr 16, 2005 07:13

I open my eyes and find myself in strange surroundings. My mind is quiet and the sun is shining. I do not know how long I have slept. Jan sits near by.

and when I see her the chain of memory drops around me once more.
I am awake and facing once more what I would wish to never face. My head is quiet no longer. Answers supply themselves to questions.
I am at Dawn's house. Lady Montague dropped us off here, where my hurts were tended to. and Romeo...will be best tended in his family home. Mercutio... has no need of tending.
Of Tybalt, I care not, excepting as it affects my cousin's standing.


Mercutio's sword is close at hand. I would not let them take it from me. Let the prince have Tybalt's weapon,  he is guilty enough of breaking the peace. Broken it so it lay  bleeding on the ground.  Oh  my  friend, my heart hurts to think of  your end .  Could I have changed your fate? I know not. But I will lay the blame for it at Tybalts feet.

Aye, I could let vengance hold her sway. I have no wish to spend my time weeping. But I have seen the untempered force of wrath change my cousin's very form to that of a beast.
so I will neither weep nor rage and blunt the force of my emotion. I have seen enough of blood and death.

I am sore but my wounds are minor. My time is better spent on other matters.

I must know how my cousin fares.
