Redemption [Stage Play Script]

Script 2

Arthur: (Sighs) I haven't seen this place for almost a year... A year ago... I was a heartless monster... An Assassin!!! But my master gave me a mission he trained me for his revenge but I failed him. Unknown truths surfaced and... (Turns around, stares at Avalon's eyes and smiles.) if he hadn't given me a mission I couldn't truthfully finish, I couldn't have met you nor learn the truths he had kept from me!

Avalon: (Stares at his eyes and holds both of his hands) Arthur, you may have been a heartless monster before but I will still love you.

(Lights slowly brighten itself to signify that they are getting closer to where his master is.)

Guard: Your master's waiting. You've finally accomplished your mission, right?

Arthur: I... have finally killed Darius, yes.

Guard: Good. Your master is waiting inside his room.

Arthur: Let's go, Ava.

Guard: (When Ava and Arthur passed through him, he turns around.) Who's the girl, Arthur? (smirks.)

Arthur: (freezes) I am an assassin, yes... But can't I find love on my own?

Guard: You know you aren't allowed to have anyone. You are ordered to be alone!

Arthur: I am human. Why wouldn't I feel them?

Guard: Who is she, Arthur?

Arthur: Someone I want to be with forever.

Guard: She can't get inside here and you are not allowed to have anyone else have your loyalty! (Pulls the trigger to kill Ava but Arthur hugged her and he was shot at his shoulders.)

Avalon: Arthur! (Cries.)

Arthur: I'm fine, Ava. Its just a scratch.

Avalon: But...

Guard: You're a traitor!!! (Points his gun to him to kill him and pushes an alarm button but someone both did not see shot him instead. Arthur begins to kill everyone who tries to untangle them.)

Arthur: Stay behind me. Don't leave me, ok? (Keeps protecting Avalon but when he sees that there were police killing the armed men who kept trying to kill them, Arthur holds Ava's hands and both run until they reach his master's room.)

(Dim lights, the lights slowly brighten again. )

Arthur: Master...

(Behind a curtain.)

Master: What kind of commotion am I hearing?

Arthur: Master! (With tears.)

Master: Speak, Arthur.

Arthur: Its... Its nothing. But, master...

Master: Are you here to report your accomplishments?

Arthur: I... Have lots of questions I want you to answer! I have killed Darius already! Please... I don't want the life of an assassin anymore!

Master: Aren't you being disloyal!? You will stay in this place.

Arthur: No, Master. Its only that... my conscience won't hold any longer. Every person I killed is haunting me... No... Memories I concealed and sealed, opened suddenly. Please, set me free.

Master: (Opens the curtain a bit.) The woman behind you, had she hypnotized you to leave me?

Arthur: Master, she just wants to meet you... Its just that, whenever we meet, you are always behind that curtain that I never knew who you truly are. I want to be free, Master.
