Act 2 (Anne's story)

[The palace hallway was heavily furnished with portraits of the former kings, luxury furniture's, flowers, a flight of stairs went up to the prince room is covered by a red carpet. There is a large portrait of Angel Gabriel on the wall from where the steps began. It is heard that Fallen Angel Jules has turned the King, Lucifer I in a stone and his son, Prince Axel is currently looking after his dynasty.
After yesterday's brave declaration, Anne was arrested by the royal guards, as a suspect. She is impatiently waiting for the so-called Prince who is responsible for her arrest. For a second she merely looked at Gabriel's portrait then diverted her concentration towards some some commotions coming from outside of the palace. Seeing Anne getting arrested Julia and Victoria came to save her only to be stopped by the security guards from entering the palace]

Julia : Let us enter!!

Guard : We can't let anyone enter like
this young lady. Now leave.

Victoria : (after thinking) do you even
know with whom you are
talking to, we are prince's
guests.

Guard : As if you will say something
and we will believe that.

Victoria : ( emotionlessly) OK, don't
believe us but when we will
complain to the great prince
about this , then you will see

Julia : Yeah! you will see.

Guard : (now frightened) no ma'am
please don't say anything to
him.

Victoria : (with an air of importance)
Then let us enter.

[The guard gave them space to enter the palace. Upon entering the hallway they meet Anne, Julia being too happy on seeing her again starts running towards her to hug her. As she came near Anne, she moved away making Julia fall]

Anne : What the hell are you doing
here?

Victoria : At least be grateful, we came
here to save you.

Anne : (annoyed) Fuck Off, I never
asked for your useless help.

Victoria : (angrily) What did you say??

Julia : Cut it out you two!

[As they talked two people came down the stairs. One was the Prince himself and the other one was his knight.
The Prince is a tall, handsome, gentleman with off white hair and black serious eyes. Looking at his face anyone can say that he is a serious nature man. He is wearing a blue coloured royal suit and pants, boots, gloves, and a sword .
Opposite of his nature is the knight who has a careless, flirty nature. Black hair, blue eyes, wearing armor and a sword. Knight Shawn is known to be the best friend of Prince Axel]
[As Prince got down and stood before them his and Anne's eyes met . It felt like he blushed for an instant then again remembering his duty his face became hard.]

Axel : (addressing Anne) So you are a
Fallen Angel young lady?

Anne : Young lady? My age is some
hundred years(They gasped).
So don't treat me as if I am
some kind of a child.

Julia : H-hundred y-years??

Axel : Silence!!!! Answer my question.
Is it true that you're a Fallen
Angel?

Anne : (coldly) Are you deaf? Or
retarded?

Axel : (angrily) Answer or die.

Anne : (uninterested) Yeah. I
announced it yesterday only.

Axel : What is your true motive
behind entering our
kingdom ??

Anne : Vacation. (Everyone is
surprised by her answer)

Axel : (annoyed) What did you say??
Do you think this is a vacation
spot?

Anne : yeah! Or else what.(Prince
glares at her.)

Julia : (confused) But why here?

Anne : (annoyed) Listen, I had a fight
with my mother and I left the
Heaven and had nowhere to go
then I remembered of this
village which my mother
established.
So I thought "why not go
there?" So here I am.

Victoria : One minute, if your mother
established this village
then that means....

["You're The Great Angel Gabriel's daughter!!!!!!!"]

Anne : (annoyed) What's with your
reactions.

Axel : (in disbelieve) B-but how can it
be even possible?? Look at her
she is so holy, and look at you!
(Pointing towards her messy
self).

Victoria : There's no way you could be
her daughter. I mean you
give slangs!

Shawn : How can a Fallen Angel be
the daughter of an Angel.

Anne : (angrily) FUCK OFF you people!
Now I can't even be my
mother's daughter ??

Julia : I believe in you. (Everyone
looks at her). I believe in every
words you say. But what they
are saying is also true.

Anne : (shyly) I have taken up my
character after my idiot father
King Jordan. And I am half
Angel and half human.

[King Jordan was the first King of Gabriel Heart. He and Angel Gabriel fell for each other causing their marriage. He was killed by Fallen Angel Jules before being sealed away  in eternal darkness by Gabriel. But due to some reason the seal broke and Jules became free and now she wants her revenge. After six months of this incident Gabriel disappeared, it is said that she was pregnant at the time when the King died. It was some hundred years ago. And now here is her daughter standing before them.]

Anne : (coldly) So you still don't
             believe me. It's OK. Don't
             believe I have made a promise
             and I shall fulfill it and after
             that I will leave this useless
             place.

Axel : (quickly) No! We believe in you.

Shawn : But how did you became a
                Fallen Angel. I mean you're
                the daughter of Great Gab....

Anne : (cutting him short) What is so
             great about her that you people
             worship her so much.

Victoria : What are talking about?

Anne : You know I am talking about
             my mom, no sorry the Great
             Angel Queen, The Gabriel!

Julia : (excited) So she is a queen now?

Anne : The heck she is.

Axel : (angered and annoyed both at
            the same time) How dare you
            speak like that about her? Don't
            you have any respect for your
            mother?

Anne : (in sarcastic tone) Young prince
             respect doesn't come from
             ones mouth, it comes from
             ones heart and in my heart I
             fully respect my mother. And
             moreover if there is love, then
             respect comes automatically.

[Upon hearing this the Prince heart softened for the first time for Anne.]

Axel : (Looking at her) Tell me. Why
            did you choose to become a
            fallen Angel?

[Shawn looks at the Prince. Understanding the change of emotions in Prince for this Fallen one he smiles]

Anne : So listen. As I already told you
             that my mother is The Queen.
             I have grown up in the palace
            with all the luxuries one can get
             I completed my studies in
             Heaven's school of warriors as
             I don't believe in relying much
             on magic, as I believe that
             magic can betray you but a
             warriors sword never. So in
              one hand I had all the
              luxuries but on other hand no
              one tried to understand me,
               no one wanted to be my
               friend, I was not even
               allowed to leave heaven. My
               life was full of do this, do that
                you're Queen's daughter so
                should always remember that
                princess should never talk in
               That manner. Like hell man, I
                didn't have any freedom. And
                on top of that she never
                had time to meet or talk with
                 me. So that day I lost it I was
                like "What the hell why she
                never let's me leave this
                place". So I came out of the
              palace and left the heaven
               only to challenge my mother.
               But when I reached the Earth
               something terrible happened.
               The Earth started shaking and
               Thunderstorm. I felt black
                magic. I was so scared that I
                hurried home only to find
                mom angrily waiting for me.
               
[In flash back, conversation between Gabriel and Anne .]

Gabriel : How dare you??? After
                 warning you for so many
                 times!!!

Anne : Oh please mom I am not a kid
             anymore I can take care of
             myself.

Gabriel : (angrily) It's not about that,
                  it's about the seal.

Anne : (uninterested) What seal?

Gabriel : (worried) Hundred years ago
                  when I sealed away Jules, I
                  couldn't do it efficiently. So
                  to stop her from breaking
                  the seal. I-I put a condition.

Anne : What type of condition??

Gabriel : That you'll never ever enter
                  the human world. And if you
                  do so, then the seal would be
                  broken. (Anne gasps) Now
                  you have broken the seal
                  and I don't know what to do.
                 
Anne : How can you do this to me?
             That also without asking me?
             And moreover you didn't even
             thought it was important to
             inform me about this before
             this moment.

Gabriel : Please Listen, you're the only
                 one who can stop her, you're
                 destined to do so.

Anne : I don't believe in destiny, I
             make my own destiny.

Gabriel : Believe it, or not it is true.

Anne : (annoyed) You know what I
             believe? That you Angel's are
             nothing more than a mere
             war machines for those
             humans!! Whenever they are
             in trouble they call for you
             O Great Angel please help us!
              And you people would go
             running to save them. Nothing
             more than a war machine.

[Upon this, Gabriel slapped Anne hard on her face.]

Gabriel : (furious) Enough young lady!

Anne : (in ego). Ya right enough. I am
              not a kiddo anymore I know
              what is right and what is
              wrong. And I decide that I am
              leaving this horrible place
              forever. (turning away from
              her, Anne prepares to leave.)

Gabriel : Stop!!! If you leave heaven
                 then I will have to consider
                 you as fallen.

Anne : (still showing her back) Do as
              you feel. I don't give a damn
              about it. And if you dare then
              fight me.(taking out her
              sword.)
[After that Anne left the heaven and was considered as the Fallen one]
[It took place two days ago.]

Anne : (apologetically) So here I am.
              (Bowing before them) Ready to
              atone for my sin of unsealing
              Jules.

Victoria : What did you say? To atone
                   for your sins after what you
                   did to us we should execute.
                   you! Moreover you think
                   that we humans consider
                   Angel as mere war
                  machines !!

Anne : It is the truth. Try to accept it.

Victoria : You!!!!

Axel : Silence!!!

[Shawn whispers something in Axel's ears and then addressing to Anne he said.]

Shawn : We will believe in you only if
                 you do us a favour.

Anne : I am ready to do anything.

Axel : Follow us.

[They walked through the large hall to throne room.
          The room where king Lucifer is kept. The contents the the large throne where the king sits and a few smaller seats for his knights and other ministers. The room is decorated with flowers and lamps. The room's left window faces the lake. With beautiful scenery. And in the middle stood king Lucifer who is now nothing more than a stone statue.]

Axel : Look at him. He is my father.
           Jules have made him like that.
           Can you do something please.

Anne : OK I am seeing to it.

[Saying this she went near the King and checked something then nodding her head she said.]

Anne : (remorsefully) Sorry but he is
              already death.

Axel : (in disbelief) No! That can't be it
            he can't be dead! You're lying!

[For a moment Anne's mind went back to the thought of her mother. Axel ran towards the stone statue to hug it. Tears rolled down from his eyes. Anne got back to her sense again when she sensed some dark presence.]

Anne : Everyone hurry!

[But before she could warn them properly the whole palace room fall on them.
          Luckily Anne built a shield to protect them with her magic. Upon coming out of the palace ruins they found Jules standing before them.
She, herself has come here to greet Anne.]
        
Jules : So you're that Gabriel's
             daughter. Die!!!

[Saying this she uses magic to put Anne inside a purple bubble. Anne caught by the sudden attack became confused. Soon her breathing became heavy and she was having a hard time inside it. Jules was enjoying it when suddenly she saw Axel running towards her with his sword with the intention of killing her.]

Shawn : Prince don't! It's too
               dangerous!

Axel : (not listening) Return my
            Father!!! You Fallen!

[Jules easily dodged his attack and caught hold of the prince by his throat]

Jules : So our little prince trying to
            save his lover how sweet.

[Saying this she throw Axel on the ground making him unconscious. And again concentrated on Anne, only to find her on the verge of death. She quickly releases her magic. And Anne falls on the ground. Julia went to help Anne to stand on her feet.]

Jules : You're nothing but a small fly.
             I can kill you at anytime. But it
             will be uninteresting to do so.
             So I will kill you slowly but
             surely. But first comes your
             mother.

[Saying this Jules turned to leave when.]

Anne : (recovering her breath) Stop.
              (then pushing aside Julia she
              sat upon her knees, bowing)
             Please, O Great Jules! Consider
             me as your subordinate.

[Everyone including Jules was surprised by this statements.]

Victoria : Hey Fallen what are you
                  talking about? Have you
                  gone insane?

Shawn : What are you thinking
                Princess?

Julia : (softly) Anne...

Anne : What's wrong to bow before
              the Strong ones? Please lady
              Jules.

Jules : OK, So this is the truth of
            Gabriel's
            daughter. Come with me first
            We shall perish the village then
             your mother.

Anne : As you say my Queen.

[After this Anne left with Jules leaving behind some confused people. ]
