😵
🖤
**A week later**
You wake up feeling groggy
You soon realize you weren't actually groggy just really nervous
Today is the day of the trial. The day you find out if Parkers stupid ass is going to jail.
You get out of bed and put on the outfit you planned out the night before
You do your hair, brush your teeth and put on your smell goods before heading out of your room.
You silently walk downstairs to where your parents were waiting.
"Are you gonna eat before we go?" Your mom asks you
"No I can't" you say referring to the queasy feeling you have
"Alright hunny I guess we should just go then" your mom shrugs and grabs her keys
You and your parent both head to the family car.
You enter the back seat since both your parents we coming with and your mom silently starts driving.
"So did the lawyer go over this with you?" You mom asks
"I mean she talked but I wasn't really paying attention" you say staring out the window
"You never do" you dad jokes
"Well basically you, Alessio, and all the officers are going to testify against Parker" You mom says "Parker also gets to testify on his defense but...he could plead guilty or plead the 5th"
((Ps: I'm a law and order fanatic *especially special victims unit* so a bitch knows a thing or two about trials😂))
"So how long is this gonna take" you ask
"I bet it'll only take today. It's hella obvi that he's guilty" your dad says in a girly voice.
"Dad stoooop" you say trying to suppress a laugh
Both you and you dad have a habit of trying to laugh at a serious situation.
You continue the rest of the ride silently.

When you arrive at the courthouse there is tons of press waiting for you.
Your parents get out first and walk ahead of you
As soon as you step out of the car you are immediately blinded with tons of camera lights pointed at your face.

All you can hear is paparazzi asking you questions like
"How did this happen"
"Alessio murderd Vicky out of spite!?"
"How do you think this trial will play out"
Your sensors are overwhelmed you couldn't focus on getting into the building so you stand there dumbfounded
"(Y/n)! Come here" you hear Alessios voice
You feel his arm wrap around you and pull you out of your trance
"Could you guys back off for a sec! can't you see she's overwhelmed!?" Alessio irritatedly yells.
He starts pulling you up towards the courthouse.
Once you both get inside you look up at Alessio and smile
"Thanks for rescuing me" you peck him really quick
"Anytime beautiful" he blushes
He holds your hand as you both enter the seating area.
You wait for a while before an officer comes in
"All rise for judge Moreno" she says
Everyone stands up and she starts reading off the rule/law thingys as the judge walks in.
"You May be seated" she finishes
Everyone sits down and listens to the prosecution lawyers opening speech.
He basically goes over the entire story and explains how it's Parkers fault
Next the defense lawyer comes up. He gives a full bullshit story about how Parker isn't the one to blame and that the entire courtroom will know who's the *real criminal* by the end of the trial.
Prosecution calls up some responding officers who had to chase Parker and take him before he surrendered his knife.
You laugh to yourself because you imagine Parker getting tazed
You almost go into a full blown laugh attack until Alessio nudges you.
Next they call up the medic who was stabbed by Vicky.
He goes up and recites his story.
He tells the jury the exact same story Alessio has already told you with almost no difference beside the point of view.
"So this isn't that bad" you whisper to Alessio
"Not really Parkers a gonner by the end of trial" Alessio shrugs
Next it was your turn.
You walk up to the stand and plead to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

The lawyer then asks you to tell your story.
You go through as many details from that night that you can remember.
"No further questions your honor" you lawyer says going back to take her seat.
The defense attorney stand up and walks toward you.
"So (y/n) Parker hit you in the head with a baseball bat is what you said correct?" He asks
"Yes" you say
"And how are we supposed to believe that? The doctors said you suffered from brain damage AND you were in a coma for almost a week. Couldn't you be suffering from a memory lapse as well? Who's to say Vicky didn't hit you or even...Alessio" He asks
That pissed you off
"Well if you actually listened to the doctors the brain damage I went through was caused by a bat so even if I was suffering from a *momory lapse*" you say in a mocking voice "Parker had a bat and Vicky had a knife. Maybe the roles were switched who gives a damn but Alessio and I were both assaulted so don't ever try to pin the blame on him again" You grit your teeth.
"Sorry sorry" the lawyer puts his hands up in defense.
"The only point I'm trying to get at is how do we know that (y/n)s story is credible? She's had so much going on she couldn't even walk through the building this morning without getting *held up*" the lawyer says smirking at you
Oh that's it. You were about to come for his entire life
"Well ugly ass people like you don't know what it's like to have cameras on you 25/8. Let me follow you around for a day snapping pictures and bombarding you with questions that are non of my damn business" you shout
"That's enough ms (y/l/n)" the judge says
"Is it?" You say "you wanna stand here and question my mentality like your all high and mighty let me ask you something big boi. What did you have for dinner last nigh huh?"
The lawyer just stares at you.
"Oop let me guess you forgot huh? You mock again. "How are we to know you remember the law book? We don't because we trust that you do" you slam you fist on the table "that prick right there is guilty of this entire murder and you don't give a damn about getting justice for me, Alessio or even Vicky! All that matters is that you make your big bucks so you can take your fat ass back down to the-"
"ENOUGH!!! get her out of here now" the judge looks at you appalled by your outburst
"It's okay I have no further questions" the defense lawyer says shooing you off the stand.
He looked paler than a ghost
You get up and storm over to your seat next to Alessio.
Next Alesiso was called to the stand.
He said his story almost the exact same way he told you minus the tears.
He handles the defense questions way better than you did.
He then and back to his seat.
The judge looks at Alessio and says
"You handled your temper better than your sassy little mate didn't you" the judges shakes her head and smirks
You hoped that means she liked what you had to say.
A few more officers and doctors were called to that stand to testify.
Then it was the defenses turn.
"I would like to call Parker Pickle to the stand"
You start laughing totally for getting his last name was Pickle.
You go into a laughing fit and Alessio nudges you again. This time it was because he was laughing with you
You finally manage to stop laughing and Parker sits in the stand. He pleads not guilty. He promises to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.
You absolutely doubted that. You look at Alessio and roll your eyes. He just frowns back.
"Well Parker tell us your side of the story" the defense Lawyer says
"Before I start my story I would just like to say the wrong boy is on trial. Alessio Scalzotto should be the one defending himself not me and I can prove it" he says pointing at Alessio.

Path of Divinity
The world has been assimilated by the Celestial Archives, a vast system designed to fight the forces that seek to destroy the universe. For most, it's a holy cause that rewards victory with stats, levels, and skills. For Hunter Gold, it's the start of a nightmare. Even in a system dominated by paths, he finds himself taking the road less traveled. This is a work in progress. Major editing will be done after the book is complete, so there will be egregious typos and parts that make no sense whatsoever. Please feel free to point any and all of these things out. Chapters WILL get edited, and that editing might break earlier chapters. I will attempt to keep readers apprised of all changes. As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated. This is kind of something fun I wanted to write after reading stories like The New World, System Apocalypse, and the Legend of Randidly Ghosthound. I don't know how serious I will be about this story, but I just want to try it out. I imagine that it will become a love child between Fable, Diablo, and Devil May Cry. Enjoy!
