The Arcana x Reader Scenarios {Book One} {FINISHED}

When you are both at a mock execution

I got this idea from the show Boardwalk Empire (One of my favorite shows ever, it's a mafia show in the year 1920s. The sets and costumes are so awesome and make you feel as if the show really took place in 1920s, some characters are even based on real people like Al Capone, Arnold Rothstein, Lucky Luciano, etc... and it has amazing actors like Steve Buscemi, Michael Shannon, Bobby Cannavate, and so many more amazing actors.) where they held a mock execution twice.

Okay, sorry, I will shut up now before I talk for hours about how much I love Boardwalk Empire.

Asra:

It was the Devil who had you both floating in the air, chains around your necks, threatening to drop you both so your necks snap. Asra's first worries were you, telling him to release you and he will do anything he wants. He kept begging the Devil, till the Devil begin chuckling and dropped you two. You both let out gasps, expecting the chains to snap your necks, but you both just harshly hit the floor. The Devil just flashed a smile as he said that was rather fun before he vanished. After Asra angrily yelled and threw his bag at the spot where the Devil stood, furiously that humanoid goat did that, he hurried to you, asking if you are okay while moving your neck around to make sure it's okay.

Nadia:

She didn't know what to do or say, so she just said she is the countess and they cannot just execute her like this. When the rope around her neck tightened, she felt fear rise more in her, really wishing she could just wrap her arms around you and hold you. When she saw them tighten around your neck too tightly, so tight you could barely breathe properly, she was quick to yell they have to loosen it or you will choke to death. She really wished her hands weren't tied so she could just pull the rope from her neck and rush to you to help you. When she saw one man pull a lever to make the two platforms beneath you both fall and hang you both, she let out a gasp, only to stare as nothing happened. And in that moment, she realized this is not a real execution but a mock execution to show you both would could happen if you both continue this. So once you and her got released and were far, far away from that spot, she said you both have to think more before taking action or else next time will be a real execution. Once in her room, she just held you for hours on her bed, wishing you didn't have to safe the world and she wasn't the countess so you both could just life a calm life without worries or people trying to execute you both.

Julian:

He messed with the wrong people while drunk. So the next day, you both where on your knees in front of a grave, specially prepared for you two. Julian was regretting every decision he made last night, apologizing for it, saying there is no need for this because it was just some stupid drunk stuff he didn't mean. But he was quick to shut up when the person shoved a spear against his cheek so all he could do was look down, letting out a few shaky, deep breathes. He wasn't scared for himself, he was scared for you, scared they will harm you, or worse, kill you. So he stuttered out you had nothing to do with it so they should let you go, unharmed. When you were released, he felt relieve wash over him, happy to see you standing up, unharmed. He was very confused when you undid the rope that held his wrists together, but when you tugged him up, he got up and looked at the men, unsure what's going on. When you took his hand and walked away, he followed, quietly asking why you both are going away. So you explained it was a mock execution those bastards did to show Julian they shouldn't be messed with. When you mumbled you should kill them for doing this, he just hugged you, very happy and relieved you are okay and alive.

Muriel:

As you were both on your knees, he didn't do anything, just stared at the hole in the ground in front of him. He wasn't scared, he felt... bored. He could tell these people didn't have the guts to kill someone, he has seen Lucio when he was a child hold a mock execution, so he knew this was simply a mock execution. When the men left, Muriel just ripped the ropes off his wrists before untying you, asking you if you are okay. When he saw your scared eyes, he picked you up and began walking, mumbling it's all okay now. Once back home, he put you on the bed, put Inanna aside you so she can comfort you while he makes you some food.

Portia:

You were both aside each other on your knees, tied up with spears at the back of your heads. When she noticed you were getting scared, she nuzzled your shoulder, her hands tied so she couldn't hug you, whispering it will all be okay. She looked at the person who kidnapped you both with a glare, asking in a stern voice, trying to show she's not scared and she will protect you till her last breathe, why they are about to execute you both. When the person said you both aren't being executed, she got very confused, asking what they mean. When she felt the spears behind you both move away and the ropes fell, allowing her to quickly wrap her arms around you, she asked what this all is. The person just held their hand to the exit. Portia wanted to ask again, but you took her hand and dragged her to the exit so she decided to keep shut and hurry out of this place. Once outside, she let out a big breath, saying she felt as if she was gonna have a panic attack in there. When you praised her for being so strong, she gave you a little smile, saying her only worry was keeping you safe and alive so she couldn't act scared or panicked and had to be strong.

Lucio:

He didn't care for his own safety, he immediately began begging them to let you go and not do any harm to you. When the handle of a sword hit the back of his head, he passed out which made you very worried and scared that you can't check on him and make sure he's okay. After a weird conversation with the person who had you two ready to be executed, they suddenly let you two go. Dragging Lucio out of there was a hard task... Lucio woke up to see he was lying with his head on your lap as you were just watching the scenery. At first he thought this was Heaven, wondering how the hell he even was allowed in Heaven, before he noticed the rope marks around your wrists and was quick to sit up, asking if you are okay and what happened. When you told him it was a mock execution, he got furious, furious someone dared mock him in this way and knock him out with his very own sword. So for the rest of the walk back home, he didn't talk to you, too furious to talk and planning how he is gonna have this people executed for what they did.

Valerius:

He has never trembled in fear so much before in his life. He stayed quiet, feeling as if there was something stuck in his throat that prevented him from speaking. He didn't have a very exciting life, just drink some wine, do his job and hang out with you, but that doesn't mean he wants to die. So when the man went behind him, he knew he was gonna die. But he got a puzzled expression when the bondage that held him tightly in place fell to the floor. The man said he and you can go. Valerius didn't question it, he was quick to take your hand and walk in a quick pace to the door, not once glancing backwards, begging the man doesn't kill you both while your backs are turned to the man. Once outside the building and a bit farther away, he collapse through his legs, his hand tightly holding yours, still trembling, whispering he thought you both were gonna die. He stared at the ground for a few seconds before looking up at you with teary eyes, asking with a stutter if you are okay. When you nod, he nod back, whispering that's good before he tugged your hand so you crouched down and hugged the trembling man.

Devil:

No mock execution was held because the second the enemy touched him, he broke their arm then kicked them in some weird portal. You asked him where that leads to, but he simply told you not to worry about it.
