Act 3 Scene 5 - The Red Cape

A/N - I own everything in this story and inspired by the second roleplay I did with someone, so please don't steal our shit without giving credit. Got it? Good. Enjoy.

Alexander knocks out one guard with the base of his large sword, causing him to collapse to the floor. Alexander puts away his sword and looks at the other two, where he nods at them. They look at each other and nod as they enter the closet, which is filled with weapons, a couple of chests and much other stuff.

"Damn... how much shit did they put in here?" Alexander muttered.

"No idea..." Percy replied.

Rudina pushes past the men and starts looking around the room as she snatches a key from a table to unlock all of the chests, much to Alexander's impatience.

"Don't tell me you're gonna unlock every chest here?" Alexander asked rudely.

"Shut up," Rudina simply replied rudely as she continues her search.

"Ugh..." Alexander groaned as he rolls his eyes and folds his arms.

Percy bites his lips and walks towards Rudina slowly, where she opens another chest that contains... a red hooded cape with dozen of burn marks on it. She gasps and grabs it as she held it close to her chest with a sorrowful look to her eyes.

"Mother..." Rudina muttered as she clutches to the hood. She takes a deep breath and stands up, "Come on... let's go..."

"... Right," Percy agreed, "That cape... was it a gift?"

"... You could say that" Rudina replied as she walks past him.

Percy takes a deep breath and Rudina puts on the cape around her neck. She looks at the two men and says, "We need to go or-"

"Stop right there!"

"Crap!" Rudina said loudly as three guards arrive and prepare their spears.

"You are under arrest for causing a disturbance in the prison!" One guard yelled at them.

"Looks like we have no choice, but to kick their asses," Alexander said.

"It would seem so," Percy agreed as he takes out his spear.

Rudina rushes to one of the guards and punches his face off guard, causing him to drop his spear. She picks it up and stabs his heart with it, which outrages the other guards.

"You monster!" The other guard yelled as he thrusts his spear at her back.

"Rudina!" Percy yelled as he rushes in and blocks the guard's ambush.

"P-Prince Percy?!" The guard shouted in shock, "Why on earth would you protecting this monster and betray your own kind?!"

"I rather defend a monster then being like you!" Percy answered as he continuously pushes back the other guard.

"In that case..." The guard muttered as he kicks his stomach, catching him off guard, "You will die for your crime!"

"U-Gahhh!" Percy shouted in shock.

The young prince is pushed to the ground and steps on by the guard as he readies to stab until he was suddenly stabbed in the chest by a large sword. The guard drops dead while Alexander puts away his bloody greatsword and Rudina stabs the other guard with the spear before dropping it. Percy stares at the corpses in horror and starts whimpering, "You... you just..."

"I know... I killed a man..." Alexander admitted, "Sadly... this isn't the first time I killed a man..."

"... What..." Percy gasped as he stares at him.

Rudina sighs as she shakes her head and says, "You signed up for this, you should have known that you would be forced to kill your former allies."

"I... I... I never killed... anybody before..." Percy whimpered, "I... I never have seen a dead body either..."

"Well, get used to it," Rudina told him, "Because there's going to be a ton more in the future."

"Oi! Shut it, you bitch!" Alexander yelled at him, "How about you understand he never killed a person before unlike both of us!"

"Sadly, the world doesn't care if we have killed someone before or not," Rudina called him out, "The world doesn't care about anybody at all, it will kill, it will ruin and much more... that's the type of world the gods have created for us."

"... But still, would it kill you to be a bit more understanding?" Alexander asked her angrily, "We're trying to save your life here!"

"Just because you're saving my life doesn't mean I'm gonna kiss your ass," Rudina told him off, "That's like telling a child they should be grateful to their abusive or neglectful ass parents just because they gave birth to them,"

"... Ugh..." Alexander has his tongue-tied as Rudina turns around.

" I'm going... come on..." Rudina told them as she walks away.

Alexander growls and looks at Percy, who is still staring at the corpses. He takes a deep breath and softly looks at Percy as he kneels down and put his hand on his shoulder. Percy gasps a bit and looks back at Alexander.

"Don't worry," Alexander comforted him, "... It's super scary and horrible to kill a man for the first time... and it will be like every time you're forced to kill, especially in self-defence,"

"... Alexander..."

"But... you have me to have your back," Alexander told him, "So... come on, let's keep going and I'll protect you. After all, I promise your sister that I'll protect you,"

"... Thank you..." Percy smiled softly as he stands up, "But... I..."

"What's wrong?" Alexander asked with concern.

"... Nothing, let's just keep going..." Percy lied.

"... Fine," Alexander replied; not fully convinced, but aware that there isn't much time.

Alexander runs ahead while Percy follows him and thought, "Don't tell me... I have to kill my own sister... I really hope not..."
