Redemption [Stage Play Script]

Script 1

Scene 2: Bedroom

Avalon: You didn't pull the trigger. Why didn't you kill me?

Arthur: You may be right about me. I can't kill you like any other person I have eradicated before in my entire life. You're different. You're strange. You make me feel something I have never felt before. I thought I have fully erased any emotion inside of me so that I wouldn't be affected by it when I kill.

Avalon: (sits beside him and grins) Emotions aren't easily eradicated and destroyed, Arthur. We're humans and we are entrapped to it forever as long as we are alive. (Laughs) Is love that alien to you? You never felt affection your whole life?

Arthur: If what I feel is love, I am absolutely disobeying and betraying my master that gave me and showed me this way of life. He told me that the only way of life after he saved me from a battle worn country is to kill and if I don't, I die.

Avalon: I'll prove you that he is wrong, Arthur. What am I, to you?

Arthur: (surprised that Avalon is too close to him) Y-You are a beautiful lie, Avalon. You are the only one that calms down and cures my broken soul.

Avalon: Let me stay as a beautiful lie until your reality returns back to you.

Arthur: Even you try to set me free, my past would keep searching for me.

Avalon: Know how to repent for your sins and accept that you are but a sinner. You may have done horrible things in your life but that doesn't mean you can't be forgiven and redeemed!

Arthur: I don't know who God is. I don't know what love is.

Avalon: (kisses him) I am in-love with you but even if you commited horrible crimes, God loves you. What about you?

Arthur: (speechless) I... I'm not sure but... you deserve to know the truth. Your friend forbade me to tell you but I do understand now that I can't let you stay for longer in the dark.

Avalon: Then, I would listen.

Scene 3: Back to the Past (Street.)

Arthur's cellphone ring and when he picks it up, a voice a mysterious woman talks to him about his new mission.

On phone: You have a new mission and it is imperative that you do this right. This is your main mission why you were trained to kill. Kill the heir of White Flower Organization. Do you understand?

Arthur: But that Organization isn't an evil organization! Aren't they an advocate of peace? I thought I'll only kill criminals?

On phone: Are you saying you'll disobey? It must be done.

Arthur: No. (clutches the phone hard) I understand. Who's the heir? Who's my new target?

On phone: Darius Kingsley. Kill him so that you can show your master how loyal you truly are and that you'll kill anyone your master wants to eliminate. To begin your mission, I have found Darius's location and your master have already done all the preparations. The only left to be done is to show yourself as a fake student who'd live in the same dormitory and room with Darius. Gain their trust and kill him at the right moment. Failure is not an option, understood?

Arthur: Yes. I understand and I accept the mission.

Scene 4: Inside Avalon's mansion. (Dinner Table)

Darius Kingsley: Easy as always, sir. I am happy that you have taken me as a part of your family.
