Redemption [Stage Play Script]

Script 2

Darius: (smiles) I'm sorry for doubting you for six months... Also... I wonder why you're not doing anything wrong or even asking the reason why I finally decided to be friends with you.

Arthur: Why would I do something wrong? Friends with you? Even if most of the time you were just the one who kept talking in this room?

Darius: Yes. But for now, there's only one wish I have that I want you to do.

Arthur: Ask me anything. What is it?

Darius: Since the banquet, you avoided Avalon. She's in pain, Arthur. She's even asking if there's something she did wrong to you that lead you to stay away from her but now, I know the reason...

Arthur: (Clutches his right hand.) I... don't want to. She can keep treating me as a friend but she's just a stranger to me... No... I'm only a stranger to her.

Darius: Stop avoiding her, Arthur. That's my wish. Talk to her.

Arthur: I'll try to reason with her. It'll be my last meeting with her.

Darius: After you met with her, meet me in an abandoned warehouse. No buts. Just go, ok?

Arthur: You do know something about me. No. You already know the truth about me.

Darius: My decision is set. It is for her own good. If I can't help you, I'd have to do something to help her away from danger. She's an important individual for everyone who loves her.

Arthur: What if I can't?

Darius: Then, I'll force you.

Arthur: I won't do it but I'll try to talk to Avalon for the last time.

Darius: If that is your choice. I'll respect you.

Scene 16: Meeting Together Again

Avalon: Arthur! (Hugs him.)

Arthur: (Holds her shoulders and takes her away from him.) Please, understand that I can't... No... I don't know what to say at all!

Avalon: Why are you doing this?

Arthur: You won't understand!

Avalon: I can't leave! I won't leave!

Arthur: (Faces her and looks at her eyes and runs away but Avalon soon hugs her from his back.)

Avalon: Please, don't avoid me!

Arthur: What if I have to avoid contact with you?

Avalon: Then make me understand instead! Tell me the truth!

Arthur: You can't know the truth. It'll kill me. Forgive me but this should be our last conversation together. I'm leaving. Forget me, Avalon. Darius knows how much I care for you. (Leaves.)

Scene 17: Warehouse

(Dim lights.)

Arthur: DARIUS!!! Where are you? Show yourself! I know that you know something about me!

Darius: (From a distance.) Do your mission, Arthur! I know your secrets already.

Arthur: Darius! You know that I can't do it!

Darius: My father failed to save you from war...

Arthur: Why are you doing this?

Darius: You're my half-brother.

Arthur: Brother? That's impossible! No. I never had a brother!

Darius: It is true that I am your brother. Our father tried to save you countless times but he always failed! If I can't save you, I'd protect Avalon instead! Kill me, brother! You may be my half-brother but you are still a true brother to me.
