Crossover!

For all who don't even know what my story is about! It's based on the novel 'The Bronze Horseman' and the play 'Romeo and Juliet'. (gotta have the drama) The Bronze Horseman is a very intense love story set in World War II when Russia was a communist country and war had just been declared between Russia and Germany. A lieutenant in the Red Army falls in love with the sweetest girl completely oblivious to the world and its problems until they realise their love is one that simply can not be. Alexander is an American who has kept his true identity concealed because he was accused of commtting treasonous acts against Russia, crimes his mother and father were given the death penalty for. Luckliy he escaped and was able to keep his identity disclosed, that was before he told his best friend thinking he was his truest confidant. He realises his motives are weren't entirely selfless and the best friend soon became the enemy. Alexanders' best friend, Dimitri, quickly moves in on his one true love, Tatiana, knowing what it will do to Alexander but also knowing that he can't do anything because of fear or Dimitri revealing his past to the Russian secret government. Tatiana also has a problem to though; she has fallen in love with the same man as her sister, not realising until Alexander comes to the house and is shocked to find Dasha, a good time girl, at the house. Tatiana can not break her sisters heart and can not refuse Dimitri either, so the love triangle is indeed twisted. To risk all and lose everything? Or remain concealed drowning in eachothers misery and love?

And im just using the last acts in the play of Romeo and Juliet.
