Caught Between Hope and Despair

(Trial #1) Double Blood: Execution (REUPLOADED)

A/N- UPDATE: So I had to republish this part... Uh, whoops. Had to change both of the executions completely. Sorry about that...

I'm already getting this feeling that these new trial formats are a bad idea

but who cares, I do what I want

also, Libra and Sagittarius apparently make a "harmonious pair"

you know who you are if you know what I'm talking about, don't comment about it plz, shh

Monogram was grinning widely as he pressed the red button in front of him.

Two chains shot out from behind Morgan and Darlene, dragging them.

~A Recital For the Punished~
(Amber's Execution)

Darlene was dragged over to a small stage with a grand piano and a spotlight shining down onto it. The chain let Darlene go as she stood back up and walked over to the piano.

The rest of us were all sitting in chairs in front of the small stage, a chain-link fence dividing us from Darlene. We couldn't do anything to help her at all.

She played one key, and the piano suddenly collapsed and burst into flames.

Darlene took a step back, but fell through a trapdoor that led under the stage.

A screen popped up in front of all of us, showing Darlene's current situation. She's currently trapped in a small room that was directly under the piano. We stared at the screen for a while before we heard the floorboards of the stage creak as the piano continued burning.

"I guess I'll never find her then..." Darlene muttered to herself as the stage gave way and the burning piano fell onto her.

~The Second Curtain Call~
(Aliza's Execution)

Afterwards, we were taken to a huge room with a chain-link fence placed right in front of us. Spotlights were turned on and the curtain was lifted.

"Allow me to introduce you to my second act of our execution production!" Monogram yelled.

Morgan was standing on center stage as what looked like broken down robots  entered the stage. They were like exact clones of Monogram, except they looked like they were slashed into pieces and then were brought back to life. Talk about nightmare fuel.

Chains were tied around Morgan's wrists as the robots surrounded her. Each were holding weapons, mostly swords.

One broken down robot was dancing around Morgan, pointing its knife towards her. Shortly afterwards, it swiped at Morgan's cheek, causing the other robots to attack and kill her.

I didn't want to stare at the scene before me anymore. I turned around and started exiting the room.

"Now wasn't that a very nice show? Didn't that entertain you all?" Monogram laughed.

"Get lost, Mono." I replied.
