《The Edgars》Scene 6: The Murderer Strikes Again
Advertisement
(Scene: The police station, at night. The Officer is doing paperwork at his desk. Charles is gone from his cell. The Clone enters. He resembles Jonathan in every way except his different, bloodstained clothes, his flimsier hair, and a wild expression on his face. He is holding a rock.)
Officer
Good evening, Mister Ed-- Mister Edgar! Are you alright! Are you hurt anywhere? No, no. Don't say anything. Sit down while I fetch you a doctor. (The Clone approaches) Why do you stare at me like that? Go on, sit down. (The Clone wrestles him to the floor behind the desk and begins beating him with the rock) Help! Somebody! Murder! (After a while, the Clone ceases and exits)
(Enter George. He lifts the Officer up from behind the desk. Officer's head is bleeding)
George
Officer! Who did this to you? (Officer murmurs) Come on, man! Tell me!
Officer
...It was… your boy…
George
Damn. (Looks at cell) Where is Charles, the man you arrested for the murders?
Officer
...Bailed himself out… earlier today…
George
Impossible! (Beat) Now listen very carefully. It was he who did this to you. Charles. The man whom you released. Do you understand? Charles. Now tell me again; who did this to you?
Officer
...Charles… the man I released…
George
Excellent. Excellent. Don't move. I shall send for help.
(George exits)
Officer
...It was your boy… Charles… the man I released...

Child of Dusk
Life can be cruel, especially to those who don't fit in. But what would you do if you were given a second chance? Tim was a nobody during his time on Earth. As a penniless orphan with no friends to speak of, life was tough for him in his little Arizona town in the '90s. He'd utterly lost hope for the future until one day, he was reincarnated as Alvanue, beloved daughter and heir to the Starlit Throne of Silthonduen. Now, Alvanue has everything a princess could ever want: a loving family, loyal comrades and an entire kingdom at her finger tips. But what good is a kingdom when there's a whole world of magic and mystery out there to explore? *** Ok! Disclaimer time. I do edit my own work and I do not have a beta reader, so please feel free to point out any errors or plot holes (politely, of course). Each chapter will be around 4,000 to 6,000 words long and while I was posting every day at the beginning, I think I'll cut that down to once a week for now, excluding bonus chapters! I really don't want to get burned out. I started writing this because I love world building, so this is gonna be heavy on lore. If you're not into that, there's still a ton of character progression and action to look forward to! It's going to be slow at the beginning, but I promise it will pick up eventually. Thanks for checking my story out, I appreciate it a lot!
