Redemption [Stage Play Script]

Script 2

Arthur: That is not true! My master had always treated me, right. My master had always told me that I should live for the sake of killing as it is my way to show my loyalty. Lastly, I chose to forget my useless past!

Victor: It's a lie, Arthur. Free yourself from the chains your master gave you but if you don't want to, shoot me, now.

Arthur: Forgive me! (Pulls the trigger but the bullet doesn't even graze Victor.) (The bullet only goes to the floor.)

Victor: Arthur, everything will change if you finally let go of the memories you concealed. Don't listen to your master's words!

(Arthur pulls the trigger again and in the second time, he shot Victor on his right shoulder.)

Victor: Those eyes could save your soul, Arthur.

Arthur: No one can save me, Victor. I have sold my soul to the devil. (Shoots him again at his leg and turns his back on him.)

Victor: Why don't you kill me?

Arthur: I don't need to kill you. You don't deserve death in my hands.

Victor: (Struggles to stand up and seats on a chair.) I'll save you from those chains, no matter what! I won't fail!

Scene 13: Arthur's Nightmare
(Nightmare/Memory/Flashback)

Woman: Arthur! Run!

(Sounds of bombs and sounds of guns, shooting echoing the place and people running in fear.)

Young Arthur: (screams.) Help! Please, anyone, anybody, help! (Comes closer to the woman whose half of her body is bleeding heavily.) I can't leave you alone here.

Woman: Leave me, if you don't, you'd be captured or killed! You don't deserve to live in a country such as like this!

Young Arthur: Please stay with me! We'll get out of this country together! Don't die on me, please!

Victor: (Grabs him by the shirt.) What are you doing? If you don't run, we'd be captured or killed!

Young Arthur: But she's wounded! Someone I didn't see shot her! Please, carry her!

Victor: Is she that much important to you?

Young Arthur: She's important! Very important! Please help her, I'm begging you!

Victor: Forgive me, but even if she's very important, if you want to survive and leave for her sake, you'd consider her to be only be a baggage!

Young Arthur: But she's not a baggage! She'll never be a baggage!

Victor: (comes closer to the woman.) I'll take care of him, I promise and I will protect him.

Woman: Thank you, thank you! (Dies with eyes, streaming with tears.)

(Arthur disappears.)

Victor: Arthur! Arthur! Arthur!!! Where are you, Arthur?
...

Scene 14: Dormitory

Arthur wakes up delirious and afraid.

Darius: Good morning. (Opens a can of soft drinks.)

Arthur: (Holds his head which is aching.) Don't mind me.

Darius: Just answer one question. Why did you leave all of a sudden in Avalon's banquet? She was so worried. More on, where did you go? You got back dumbfounded and sad, streaked with tears!

Arthur: (On bed.) There's no reason to tell you about my reason! Just leave this place. No... Just leave me alone. I just woken up and you're quickly asking random questions. Aren't you going to the University?
