"Eyes bright, chins up, smiles on!" Ms. Brunderwin called to all of us. "Except you Collen you must look dead!" Collen held his fake sword in the air and everyone giggled.
"All right everyone, show time!" Ms. B called one last time. She looked at me and Collen. "Amber," she began. I looked up at her very beautiful aged face. "Break a leg!" I smiled brightly and walked on stage. My brown hair was tied up very messy, I wore an old fashioned gown that fell to the floor. Everything was perfect and my boyfriend Collen was preparing for his 'death scene'. The whole show was going amazing I knew it!
The performance went on I cried over the soon to be death of my stage husband and was ready to explode with tears. Thomas T. Walked on to stage with a fake sword in hand. He walked up to Collen, I cried the best fake tears ever. Collen fell to his knees with a thud and looked up at Thomas.
"Go ahead!" He screamed. "Kill me like the other innocent men and women you've killed before, kill me like the devil you are!" He spat to the ground with fiery! "Do it so I can die knowing I was innocent, and knowing that you, you are the real criminal!" With those last words Thomas took the fake sword and stabbed it into Collen.
An eerie silence fell over the theater. Just then Collen coughed, everyone gasped as he spit out a bit of blood. Rebecka turned to me and whispered, "I didn't know that was part of the scene?" Before I knew what was happening Thomas let out a blood curdling scream. "Collen!" He screamed. My hands began shaking and my throat became dry. There was no tears in my eyes and no words in my mouth I just stared shaking. Everyone went into a panic as we saw Collen fall to the ground dead. I fell to my knees and watched in horror the horrendous scene take place. Ms. B was calling 911 and all the kids were screaming. I watched Mr and Mrs Murphy hold their once thriving, beautiful, funny, living son in their arms. One single tear dripped down my cheek and fell to the floor. Collen was gone.
