Ella's Daughter Monologue

A long time ago there were twos younglings who were polar opposites. One named Ella and the other Bernard. Both Ella and Bernard were born in Verona, but raised in different ways. Ella was a Capulet and Bernard was a Montague. Ella’s family was much more rich and elegant than Bernard’s family. At this set and time, the Capulets and Montagues were equal. No one grouping was considered better than the other. But, Ella’s family was exceptional. Ella was the daughter of King James and Queen Bertha, she was a princess. Bernard had an image set for himself, a dream to become rich and powerful. The only way to achieve his goal was to marry the alluring princess. And so, Bernard set his goal and he was on his way to charm the princess. There is a twist
though, Bernard’s family were vampires. No one in the town knew about Bernard’s family secret. But, he knew that Ella would have never given him a chance, so he would have to compel her. Bernard would have never guessed that his expedition would later lead to a fighting feud between the Capulets and the Montagues.
Bernard gathered up his things and was ready to go off and find his soon to be wife. Just in case his compelling did not work, he needed some type of backup plan, so he went to Friar Montague. Bernard knew that Friar Montague had potions, specifically love potions. Before heading over downtown, Bernard made a quick pit stop at Friar Montagues lair. “Greetings Frair”. “Greetings young one. What bringeth thee hither this morning? ” “I'm in needeth for thee to supply me with a love potion”. “Wherefore is that? ” “Ummmm…… it is for a….. School project”. “A school project? What art those gents coequal teaching thee these days? ” “We art testing out things we doth not believeth in, to see if 't be true those gents actually worketh or not”. “So what thou art saying is that thee doth not believeth mine love potion”. “No sir, I doth not believeth in love potions in general”. “We’ll see about that young lad. hither taketh this, (Friar hands Bernard a small tube with the words Love Potion written on it) maketh sure thee useth’t with caution”. “How doest’t worketh? ” “The person who ingest the potion is the one who is going to falleth in love. Immediately after the lover ingests the potion, that person needeth to behold at someone. The person that who is seen first, wilt becometh the ingesters new lover”. “Thank thee Friar Montague”.
“ Thou art very welcome Bernard. May I asketh who thee art going to useth this love potion on? ” (Bernard widens his eyes and is confused as to how Friar Montague knows that he is going to use the potion on someone) “How didst thee knoweth I wast falsing? ” “Because, I wast thy age once… a good wish upon you Bernard. Chooseth wisely”.

Now that Bernard had the love potion, he was on his way to find the Princess. He knew that everyday at 11am, the princess went into town. He searched all downtown for her; looked in every single store, every single fountain, until he finally found her. Princess Ella was at the outside market. Bernard hadn't planned out what he was going to do, so he just went for it. Without any hesitation, he just went up to Ella and looked her in the eyes. Vampires compel someone by looking them in the eyes and telling them what to do. It makes humans lose control of their bodies. The only way to prevent this is by wearing vervain. Vervain is a potent herb that protects humans from being compelled and under the influence of vampires. If a vampire makes physical contact with vervain, it will burn them. While Bernard was looking into Ella’s eyes he
said,
“Thee shall falleth in loveth with me and ev'rytime thee behold at me thee shall admireth me”.
Ella answered back saying, “Woah th're kind sir, what art thee declaring”.
When Princess Ella stated that, Bernard knew that his compelling did not function. He was curious as to why it did not work, until he looked down at her neck and saw that the locket she was wearing contained vervain. Just to make sure, he touched the locket and screeched from the pain the vervain gave off. “First of all, what didst thee just sayeth to me? Second of all, wherefore art thee touching mine own locket? Third of all, wherefore didst thee receiveth so afeard at which hour thee did see mine own locket, t's just vervain. Doesn't t has't a lovely scent?”, said Ella. At this time, Bernard did not have time to answer all of her questions. He quickly flashed the bottle out and nudged the love potion into her mouth, forcing her to swallow it. Bernard knew that it had worked when she began to flutter her eyes, caress his face, and say how lovely his features were. Bernard swept her off her feet and ran under the bridge. As soon as he put her down, he ripped off her locket. She was in such a deep love trance that she didn't even bother to ask why. Now that he was able to compel her, he looked into her eyes and told her that she was going to marry him right this second. She responded back saying “I do” and just as Bernard finished saying “I do” as well, she brushed her lips against his and shared a kiss. He knew his plan had worked and that they had just become newlyweds, but now he was curious as to how the couple is going to tell Ella’s parents without too many questions being asked. Both Bernard and Ella rushed to the castle where the Royal family lives. Ella ran in yelling, “I did marry! I did marry! I’m a bride! Oh how didst I receiveth so lucky as to beest did marry to such a lovely sir!”. At this time, King James and Queen Bertha rushed in. They were baffled and had puzzled looks on their faces. Ella stated that she will explain later, right after she takes a bath. She dashed down the hall with a happy and enlightened spirit. Queen Bertha invited Bernard to take a seat. As they as took a seat, King James asked for Bernard’s name and asked for him to explain everything. Bernard answered by telling him his name and by saying that he and Ella will clarify everything when she comes back. Time passed and Ella came back, walking into the living area casually. To make everything seem normal, Bernard said to Ella,
“Taketh a seat mine own ladybird and bride, thy parents art v'ry curious and has't wait'd longeth enow”.
Ella looked very dazed and said,
“What art thee declaring? Who is't art thee? I am not thy ladybird n’r bride”.
Just as Bernard was going to answer, Ella looked down at her chest and gasped when she realized her locket was missen. Bernard made up a lie and said that she had him hold it for her while she was at the market. As Bernard was talking out the locket from his pocket, he pulled the bottle of love potion instead. Just as he was going to put it back in his pocket before anyone saw it, Ella snatched it out of his hand and said,
“Is this what thee hath used on me? Is this wherefore thou art calling me thy bride?”
Bernard didn't know what was going on. He wondered what had happened to the love potion. From the angle that Ella was holding the bottle, Bernard could read that on the back it says that the ingester may not come in contact with water until 24 hours after. In other words, the bath that Ella took, washed away the potion. Bernard kept shut because he was so embarrassed. King James
stated,
“What didst thee bethink thee w're going to receiveth out of this? Fopping mine own daught'r into loving thee is something thee shall regreteth f'r the rest of thy life”. “From this pointeth on, you shall beest did banish to Rome and all montages art going to beest seen as mine own and all capulets enemies f'r life”.
The wrong thinking that Bernard could trick the Royal Family is what commenced the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets. After Bernard was banished, the Montagues began to try protect and get back Bernard back. Since then, the Capulets anticipated that they were superior than the Montagues and lost all respect for them. Because of Bernard’s actions, now the descendants of the Montagues and the Capulets have to deal with the forsworn ranker for life.
